RAKE OFF PROFITS
LESSON ON SACKS, CHARTERS,
AND WEIGHT.
Grain Commissioner Reed of Wash.
ington State, Tells of Middle
man Practices.

At Pullman, WASH, W. H. Reed of
the state grain commission delivered
one of the strongest papers heard by
wheat growers and mill men at the
con yention. He demonstrated that
nearly all who handle the farmers
grain take profits that legitimately
belong to the grower. Extortion on
freights, grain sacks, grading of
wheat and charters were ventilated.
He said in part: pretty much
everything affects the market price of
wheat--a larger or smaller prospect
i've yield of the greater wheat produc-
ing countries, such as the United
States, Russia, France, Argentine, In
dia and Australia; general rainfall
in harvest time in any of these agri-
cultural domains; the discovery that
rust is devastating large districts, as
in the northern middle west last year,
which consequently took your eastern
Washington wheat to help fill the
capacious and rapacious nav of the
giant Minneapolis mills; the event
of the festive grasshopper or the pre-
datory chinchbug and other like
banes; an earlier than usual closing
of the Russian sea of Azov, and the
Black Sea at Odessa, or of our own
great lake ports, which is always a
precursor of an advance of the COM
peting railroads freight rates to the
seaboard. the unexpected addition or
reduction of the import duty on wheat
by Germany, France, or to a minor
degree, as in this present month, by
smaller countries like Mexico or Bra
zil; the outbreak of war, or threat
ening of one involving any extensive
wheat producing or buying country !;
the murder of ruler in any of them;
the development of monetary panic
or money market stringency; the gen.
eral prosperity or property of the con-
suming masses; the accidental or pos
sible prearranged disposition of the
producers to sell early, or to hold their
grain; an official estimate on the crop
OF a nation or even of one of our larg-
est wheat growing states which is
different from the representations
"All of these and many, many other
legitimate factors are constantly pro-
truding themselves to affect the daily
market price of wheat.
Having taken this general view of
the influence affecting markets and

he declared, was in Salt Lake at the
time of the explosion, being in attend
ance at miners meeting.
AT the close of the proceedings yes
terday, one of the attorneys for the
prosecution stated: There is no ques-
tion in my mind but that we have
evidence enough to insure the prisoner
being bound over, aud the most i'm
portant evidence of all in the case
probably will not be used in the pre-
liminary trial. "
Miller said he thought he could

dence for my side during the prelim-
mary, but will have some surprises in
store when the actual trial begins.

porter who has made fortunate sale
in South Africa, China, Japan, in
France or Mexico, shall not pay more
than the less fortunate dealer. 1t
says that though the normal charter
rate is about one cent bushel higher
in Portland than on Puget sound, the
Godgiven advantage of better har-
Dor there shall be wiped out, and that
the Puget sound exporter is pledged
thereby not to pay more than Ithe
Portland exporter. Thus it nullifies
the act of God and the act of man,
for the United States courts have re-
peatedly held that combine is pro-
hibited by the Sherman act and by
the common law, because a combine
is so permeated with inherent po-
tentialities for harm doing that it is
wrong per Sc. This buyers combine
is going to be destroyed in the courts,

KILLED A LYNX,
And the Lynx Killed Sixty Four Fat
Hens for Rothrock.

And the Lynx Killed sixty -Four Fat
Hens for Rothrock.
Friday morning when John Cries
hober went to feed the chickens on
the Rothrock place near Adams, he
found that varmint of some kind
had visited the hen house during the
night. Sixty four fat hens lay around
dead. In the neck of each wound
was found from which the blood had
been sucked.
Investigation led to the discovery of
an animal hid in the dark recesses of
an old dug out on the premises,
which when boosted out proved to
be lynx. The chicken thief was
brought to bay in fence corner and
was put hors de combat by well
directed shot from a 1886 Win
chester.
The lynx was evidently visitor
in this vicinity, for some time ago
old "Joe" and "Dan," we'll known
bird dogs about town, for several
nights were heard barking in the
grove south of town. So persistent
did they bay that one moonlight night
couple of nimrods shouldered guns
aud went down to investigate. The
dogs had gone, however. and returned
from down the creek, toward Ada ms
Since then no barking has been heard.

A Tool to LOAD" Dice

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 15.-Fred Miller
of Spokane, attorney for Harry Or
chard, charged with the murder of
Ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg at
Caldwell, made an interesting state
ment this afternoon respecting the in
strument found in his clients trunk,
which had been pronounced a CON
triyance for determining the com mpiu-
ations of safes--a tool used by bank
burglars in their occupation. Ac-
cording to Miller the instrument is
used in making loaded dice of the kind
used by gamblers. He said further
that the plaster of paris found was
used in connection with the same in
dustry. Another statement made by
Miller was to the effect that Orchard
could prove an alibi in the Indepen-
dence case. He could clear him Of
that charge in that manner, be said,
should he be taken to Colorado to

HIGH JINKS DON'T co
OBsTREPERoUs YOUTH FIRED"
AT WHITMAN COLLEGE.
Drank in Saloon and Engaged in a
Fight After Being in a
Dance Hall.

For drinking in saloons and having
a general "high jinks" four stud
ents of Whitman academy have been
suspended from the institution. They
are Robert Fancher, Clarence Nor
row, Zeph Lock wood and Ora Hold
man, the latter being former resi-
dent of Pendleton.
The trouble in which the young
men have gotten themselves seems
to be quite serious. OF the affair the
following dispatch says:
Saturday night all were down town
drinking in saloons. Later they en-
tered a public dance hall. A disturb
ance started and fight followed in
the street below, which was broken
up by officers. Prominence to the
street row was given by the story in
the morning paper, iniuring the name
of the college When facts were con-
clusively pryoen at the college, only
one course was open, and that for the
students to leave school.
All are academy students at Pear
oOA y AoaaS ouO PAomAuOub 1H dbu-
letic lines. One is assistant treasurer
of the associated students. Two,
Francis and Holdman. were pr prominent
track men last year. One won the
mile run and one showed we'll in the
vaulting.
All of the four students have re-
ceived warning previously, that stud
ents who frequent saloons and such
resorts could not stay in school. Some
were already on probation. They
were found at a saloon drinking there
in, and they also persuaded an acad-
emy student of lower grade to drink.
For these reasons, to protect the
college and the influence on others,
they were suspended. President Pen
rose when interviewed, said:
II am exceedingly sorry because
of the fact, but there is nothing else
to be done in the case but send the
boys away, both for the good of the
school aud for their own good"

PYTHIANs AT PENDLETON.

The District Convention OF the Order
May Be Changed to Feb. 10.
In speaking of the change made to
hold the convention of the Knights of
Pythias at Pendleton the date of hold
ing the convention may be changed
from Jan. 27 to Feb. 10. The Tri-
bune says:
Preparations are in progress for
holding the district convention of
the Knights of Pythias in this city
either January ~ or February 10,
the latter date being the forty third
anniversary of the birth of the order.
1t had been intended up to week ago
to hold the convention in Athena, but
for several reasons the change has
been determined upon. One reason
for bringing the convention to Pen
dleton is the taking off of the morning
train by the 0. r. 81 N. company.
A further reason was the offer of
Damon Lodge No. Of this city to
provide for the holding of the con-
vention without assessment to the
members OF the order in the district
to defray expenses. 1t is expected
that class of 100 will be initiated
into the order on the day of the dis
trict convention. Over thirty names
have already been secured.

MEN HANDY WITH FISTS
SENT TO THE WORKH0USE

Two young men, who were so badly in
need OF exercise that they attacked and
beat their acquaintance on the streets,
were sent to the workhouse today by
Judge E. F. Waite, and will be given
employment according to their strength.
The first man to be sentenced was
Arthur Swanson, who attacked Louise
Shlpman at Nicollet avenue and Sixth
street late last night. The avenue was
comparatively quiet at the time and the
young woman was waiting for the car
when Swanson came up to her, With
out warning he began beating and kick
ing her, and did not desist until he was
arrested by Patrolman Fox, who was
summoned by Miss Shipman's screams.
Swanson was locked ND at Central sta
ton and, being unable to give bail,
was compelled to spend the night there.
IN police court today he pleaded
guilty but stubbornly refused to give
any explanation except to say that he
was Intoxicated. The policemen who
took charge Of him Immediately after
the arrest said that he showed no signs
OF lntoxication, and the court refused
him the option of fine.
The other case was that Of Andrew
korge, teamster, who satisfied an old
grudgee yesterday by beating Henry
Rockabrand at Twenty-frst avenue II
and First street. Seeing Rockabrand on
the walk Korge got off his wagon, and
after placing brass knuck1es on his
hands started his work. The men were
separated by bystanders and warrant
was sworn out for the arrest of Korpe
- Ne was sentenced to fifteen days in
the workhouse. =

agility, sprang after him and saw him
