THIRTY-TwO HORSES RUNAWAY.
Mcchine and Several Animals Were
Damaged.

]. !. JOY of the threshng firm Of
JOY & Stanton, was in town today
and while here told of an exciting
combine runaway which they had near
Helix several days ago.
There were S2 horses hitched to the
machine, and at the time of the run
away the machine was at work and
the horses became frightened at the
noise made by the patent bitches that
were i'm use. The entire 32 head got
beyond control of the driver and ran
for 200 yards before they finally
"piled" I'm a small canyon.
At the outcome of the runaway the
machine was found to have been bad
ly damaged, while several OF the best
horses were considerably injured.
Herbert Ruppe, the high school
student, was tending separator on the
machine.
During the runaway the driver held
to his high seat, and though he was
in grave danger came out with no in
jury. Had he been jolted from his
seat it would have meant death, as the
would doubtless have been crushed
by the machine.

PRUNE PRICES DROP.
Price Is Now But Il Cents Agains,
~ Last Year,

special to the Oregonian from
Salem, Ore, says: Step by step, the
prune market in Oregon has dropped
down from a 2h cent basis early in
the season to a z cent basis now.
Whether the bottom price has been
reached is a question upon which
opinions differ and which VIII prob
ably be determined chiefly by the
course growers pursue in selling. Eas,
ern jobbers are confident that the
price will be no higher, and some of
them assert that it will go lower be-
fore the crop is marketed. The prices
quoted are those paid to growers.
Packers get one-half cent more.
Early sales of the Willamette Valley
Prune association were made at as
high as "a cents, or "a cents for the
grower and at this price and a quar-
ter of cent less, about 40 cars were
disposed of by the association for Oc-
tober and November shipment. Be-
tween this figure and the presnt price
about half the Oregon crop has been
sold and the market seems now to be
rather inactive. Some sales are being
made. but growers who did not sell at
the higher prices seem disposed to
wait now for. further developments.

To SAVE A MILLION
STATE MAY TAKE
BACK SCHOOL LANDS
Spectators Foilcd in Attempt to Use
Blue Mountain Reserve School Sec
tions as Base-Only the State Can
Use School Land Base-Speculators
Now Have 81 100000 Worth of Raw
Land for Sale.

The state of Oregon is the loser to
the extent of over million dollars
by the advance knowledge obtained
by spectators in school lands, of the
intention of the government to estab-
lish the Blue mountain forest reserve.
The reserve embraces altogether
about 175 townships and in each of
those townships are two school Sec
tions-16 and S6--whlch means 224,-
900 acres
Pending the final decision of the
government to create the reserve, the
spectators who possessed irside
knowledge had filed applications with
the state land department for the pur-
chase of perhaps so per cent of the
school lands at s1.25 an acre, the ex-
pectation being that as soon as the
reserve should be proclaimed they
would have the option of holding the
lands or using them as base for Sc
lection somewhere else.
In this calculation they wero mis-
taken, The right TO use such lands
as base was taken away from private
owners and is now enjoyed by the
state only 50 that the scheming avar-
/ ice Of the fellow with the "tip" is that
far circumvented.
Previous to the regulations sur
rounding this reserve the individual
had the same right as the state to use
reserve school sections as base for Sc
lections elsewhere, with the additional
privilege in favor of the individual
that he could select lieu lands in any
state in which he could find public
lands, while the state was confined ia
its own territory.
In this instance the state would have
the best of 1t We're 1t still the owner
of any large proportion of its $50 Sec
tions of land, but unfortunately there
is only about 10 per cent of it left.
The state could dispose OF practically
every acre of It at 81 an acre as base.
which would make a net gain to the
school fund of over $1,000, 900.
There is a way in which 1t is pos
sible to make the greater portion of
this good to the state. The spectators
did net want the school sections in
that reserve for the lands they con-
tanned, nine-tenths of them being
worthless for practical purposes, hence
with the power of using them as base

DESECRATED INDIAN GRAVES.
Over 40 Bodies Dug Up by Relic
Hunters and Ghouls.

Word has been received at Chema-
wa that more than 40 Indian graves
have been desecrated in South Salem,
oregon, in the vicinity of Harbor in
Curry county, by parties searching for
Indian money and relics. Some of
the bodies dug up had not been buried
more than year and a half. The re-
mains We're scattered over the ground
and left for the dogs and coyotes to
devour.
The Indians are very indignant over
the matter and have appealed to Su-
perintendent Frank Kyselka, the
agent of the HoOpa reservation. who
has general supervision over the In
dians of that neighborhOod
If the federal authorities will take
hand in this it may go hard with
the ghouls. Four persons have been
arrested by the local authorities on
information made. but the officials
are very indifferent concerning the
matter and not much is expected to
come of the arrests.

NO PAVING INJUNCTION.
Dan j. MaIarky Here for Pleasure
Not for Warfare.

The presence in the city today OF
Dan j. Malarky, who Is an attorney
for the Barber Asphalt company
caused suspicion for a time that he
was here to secure an injunction to
prevent the Warren company from
carving out its paving contract.
However, the rumor was found to
be unfounded as the Multnomah sen
ator's mission in Pendleton proved to
be one of pleasure instead of warfare
To City Attorney John McCourt he
stated that he was not here to secure
an Injunction and that no efforts in
that direction were to be taken by
the Barber people.
Mr.. Malarky is here for the purpose
of visiting the Cunningham ranch.

Pendeton, Or, August 4, 1905.
TO the Farmers of Unatilla County:
Our attention has been called to
circular letters sent out by Schmeisted
Manufacturing company, of Davisville,
Cal, TO our customers and other
farmers of this county, claiming that
we have no right to sell the Pendleton
Hitch, patented by Wentgen. This we
feel to be a great injustice not only to
our many customers who are using the
equalizer made by us, but 1t is an un-
lust ana dishonest method of business
These letters. If left unanswered,
may create dissatisfaction which VIII
cause injury to us that may, If neces-
sary require the aid of the courts to
remedy. We propoe to defend oul
right and the right of our customers
and are as able to meet our unfair and
unreliable competitor as he is to meet
US.
He has no patent. He has no rights
that we are bound to recognize. We
have the right and privilege through
purchase, to the patent, No. 294,60S,
on which we make the Pendleton
Hitch. We bought IL from Joe Whit
gen, the patentor, of Seattle and have
tile papers to show for it. Though the
Schmeiser Manufacturing company
may threaten our patrons with dam
ages of $3.50" each, we hereby pledge
ourselves to stand between any one
or all of our customers and any dam
age they may suffer from the Schmei-
ser Manufacturing company.

Senator Perley. pioneer farmer
of the Canadian northwest, who last
year said that within decade the Do
minion would produce sufficient
wheat annually to feed all the people
of the British isles, now declares at
Ottawa that this will be accomplished
within the next five years. The size
of this task is evident by the state
ment that the United Kingdom buys
yearly about 6O,OOO,0OO hundredweight
of wheat and 2O.O00,OOO hundred
weight of wheat flour The Canadian
statistics show exports OF $21,759,S23
homegrown wheat and $2.744,153
wheat flour to Great Britain for the
nine months ending March 81. The
British statistics show much less
wheat received from Canada.

sick of their bargains.
1t would be possible, then, for the
state to have the certificates of pur-
chase surrendered to the state. By
refunding the payments made thereon
which would leave the state the orig
inal owner of the lands and entitled
to use them as base.
The state land department, however,
has no power under the law to take
such 4 step, so the only way to do it
twill be for the Legislature to pass an
act authorizing it and the matter will
be brought to the attention of the next
assembly with that end in view.
