Expensive Discovery.

not give our daughter musical edu-

very young that she simply could not

VI course, we regretted it, but what
could we do?"

Frost CLAIMS His Osvn

And he left his seal of white

The flowers died last night.

In the nook at the foot of the maple

The blades are crisp, alas!

JIM BARNHART HAS GONE.
Took Advantage of Liberties Given
Him by the Sheriff.

Where is Jim Barnhart? This is
a question that has been agitating the
sheriff-s office since yesterday morn
ing, when the willy Jim left his COM
Portable home in the county Jail and
is now dwelling in parts unknown to
Deputy Joe Blakeley. ..
Like other Indians who are con-
fined in the county Jail at the instance
of the federal court in Portland,
Barnhart was sometimes allowed to
amuse himself by storing away wood
in the court house basement, and
otherwise helping about the institu-
ton. AS a general thing these diver
sions are appreciated by the prisoners
and few Indians think of leaving.
But yesterday morning the germ of
discomfort evidently became strong in
the mind of Jim Barnhart, and he
doubtless dreamed of the summer
camps in the mountains until he de-
cided to take a vacation.
AS it is not likely the escape will
leave the country, the officers believe
Barnhart can be picked up again
within a few weeks and a watch will
be kept for him. He has several
months yet to serve on federal courC
sentence for taking liquor on the res
ervation, and another charge also.

Manufacture of Denaturized Alcohol
Opens New Field.

More than 1000 people have applied
to the internal revenue bureau at
Washington for a job under the new
undrinkable free alcohol law which
goes into effect January l. next.
1t is expected by the commissioner
of internal revenue when the law was
passed that nearly all the alcohol to
be made under the law would come
from four or five big distilleries,
which make nothing but high wines,
and that consequently he would not
have to increase his force very much
to handle the new business arising
from the use of free alcohol in the
arts and industries, but recent infor-
this supposition will probably not be
realized.

one of the cane sugar mills and re-
fneries are making plans to install
a distillery, and that. therefore. II is
likely a considerable number of men

The beet sugar makers are also re-

with a view to going into the alcohol
business for the purpose of using up

Rico sugar men are also said to have
an eye upon this field promising a
considerable increase in. their reve-
nues.

LUMBER TRUST
WILL Be PROBED
GOVERNMENT SAYS THERE
is a COMBINATION.
Movement Started in Portland to In
vestigate Charges of Illegal Combine
on the Coast-Cry of san Francisco
Has Aroused the Federal Govern
ment-Prices of Lumber Are Now
PIohibitive.

The lumber trust of the northwest
will be investigated by the federal
government at last. The cry of San
Francisco has caused the government
to stir in the matter. Lumber prices
in San Francisco have advanced until
they are almost prohibitive at this
time and the rebuilding of the city is
now seriously delayed by this fact.
Yesterday a movement was started
in Portland for an investigation into
the illegal combine of the millmen of
the northwest. The oregon Daily
Journal says of the matter:
Lumber mill men, replying to insin-
uations that a trust is controlling the
business on the Pacific coast, state
emphatically that a lumber trust
would be an impossibility on the coast.
They say a small group of of sawmills
around Rainier, or in any similar To-
cation, could bust" the biggest mill
trust that could be formed in Port
land, even should the railroads go in
to the combine with the large mills.
Nevertheless, the federal authorities
have determined to probe the charges
that a lumber trust exists. few
days ago the Oregon and Washington
Lumber Manufacturers association
was Incorporated in Portland, with
nominal capital stock of $500.
Avowed objects of the association
are "to gather and publish data rela-
tive to values and markets for Paci-
fic coast lumber products, to enforce
practical rules for grading and weigh
ing lumber products, and do every
thing possible for the advancement
of Pacific coast lumber industries"
The incorporators named are Harrison
C. Platt. local attorney; E. ]. Sheek
and George ]. Perkins.
1t has not been directly charged,
excepting through the public prints
of San Francisco, that any actual
lumber trust exists in the Pacific
northwest. The fact that lumber in
cargo and car lots in Portland has ad-
vanced so cents per thousand in the
last three months and that logs have
gone up 81 per thousand in the same
period gave ground for the charge.
Although the advance in retail
prices at San Francisco has been S.
to 81 per thousand, nobody in that
direction has attempted to explain the
tremendous disparity in the amount
of the increase at points of manufac-
ture and distribution. It is admitted
by the steam schooner and sailing ves-
sci operators that they have advanced
the carrying rate $3.50 per thousand
on account of strike difficulties at San
Francisco. None of these troubles are
therefore directly attributable to lum-
Der market conditions in the Pacific
northwest.
The government at Washington and
United States Attorney Devlin of Cal
ifornia will Immediately begin an in
vestigation into the alleged lumber
trust operations, and it will be ascer-
tanned whether the trust exists in the
Pacific northwest or in California or
at both places.
The San Francisco newspapers have
charged that the increased prices are
due to a combination between the
timber syndicate, con-

Horses Ate the Provisions.

Edgar F. Averill. city editor of the
Tribune; Roland n. Oliver, the young
Pendleton attorney, and G. f. Hunt
cr, the sheepman, returned to the
city yesterday after a three weeks
camping trip in the mountains. While
in the mountains they saw one bear
which they were unable to secure,
several deer, which they did not mo-
lest because of the law, and other
things. On one occasion their horses
ate up their stock of provisions, thus
necessitating a trip to la Grande to
replenish the same.

Among other things that will tend
to make business good in Pendleton
this fall is the fact that the securing
mill is to make much longer run
this year than usual, thereby keeping
force of over so men at work dur
ing the summer and fall.
F. L. Judd. manager of the mill,
stated yesterday afternoon that there
is sufficient wool on hand for scour-
ing to keep the plant going for three
months longer. This will mean the
operation of the mill until November
/, whereas last season the plant
closed down at the end of July
BY the run that is to be made this
year, approximately $4,000 more in
wages will be paid by the mill this
year. The average weekly payroll
now being $500.
At present an average of 53 men
are employed in the securing mill and
baling plant. In the securing mill a
force of 20 sorters is at work under
the direction of Foreman Dodson. In
the securing crew 16 men are en-
ployed the work being under the di-
rection of Dick Tieman. In the ware
house seven truckers are kept con-
tinually employed, while the baling
crew is composed of 10 men.
More wool is being baled this year
than last, and according to Mr.. Judd
the whole amount baled will be close
to 100000 pounds, which is also the
estimated amount of wool that will be
secured. The baler will complete its
work in six or seven weeks more.
Aside from the men employed in
the mill the operation of the scour-
ing mill also means the presence Of
several others during the season. The
buyers who have wool secured at the
mill remain here while the same is
being handled, and several are now
here for that purpose. Among these
are Charles II. Greene, representing
the Koshlands, f. ]. Burke. repre-
sentative of Z. Y. Judd, and L. Straus,
representing a San Francisco house.
Also Dudley Hart, who left for the
east Tuesday, was here for the same
reason.

HARD ONE ON ADAMS.
Fastidious Writer Who "Lit," Thinks
Place "Jay" Town-Dislikes Dust.

The following from this weeks
Promoter, is the opening paragraph of
a story evidently meant to exploit the
town Of Adams:
"A visit to Adams, situated in the
eastern part Umatilla county, for the
first time would impress the visitor
very strongly that it was, vulgarly
speaking, jay town. The writer lit
from the Spokane flyer the other
morning at the depot striking about
eight inches of dust which is literally
spread all over the depot grounds,
regardless of the fine raiment of the
many lady passengers that patronize
the railway at this point there appears
to be no movement to wet down the
depot gounds or cover the same with
a more appropriate covering"

Wheat In the Stage Gulch District
Yielding From IS to 25 Bushels.

David Peebler, of Stage gulch, is in
the city today after harvest supplies
and says that threshing in the west
and northwest portions of the county
is now in progress.
In the vicinity of Stage gulch the
wheat is yielding from Is to 20 BUSH
els per acre and from Stage gulch
westward, much less than this. In
the section which was injured by the
spring freeze the wheat is very light.
However, the light yield is somewhat
balanced by the exceptionally GOOD
quality of the wheat, Most of it in
that section is testing over 60 pounds
per bushel.
