 RHd Dull.


 New York, April 24.-The stock mar ket enjoyed some relief from pressure If liquidation to-day, but not until gprices had been driven to a lower point than at any time since the news Of the San Francisco disaster. This was during the first hour, in which business was very active, transactions running to well near a half million shares. From the low level touched at that time there was a quick recovery to the neighbor- hood of last nights level. Advances beyond that point were slow and on moderate volume of business. The buy ing decreased as prices rose ahove the level, offering profit to the largest part of the speculative bear element. There was no important new development in the recent tenor of the news, and the market continued under the dominant influence of the many varying conse- quences to flow from the San Francis co losses. Discussion continued to cen ter on the position of the insurance

YOUTHFUL BAND OF
ALLEGED THIEVES


ABERDEEN, Oct. 26.-By the arrest
and detention of Joseph Epstein, lad
of II or IS, employed by Kaufman
Bros. in their store, the existence of a
youthful band of alleged thieves has
been revealed and their leader taken
into custody
Young Epstein ran away from his
home in Point Richmond, Cal, some
time ago, and since being employed by
the Kaufman's, it is charged, began
a series of petty thefts, inducing other
boys. whom ne organized into a gang
according to the charges, to steal and
turn their plumber over to him. These
boys have been returning the stuff
they stole today, which amounts to
considerable.
They sly they were in fear Of Ep-
stein, who had two revolvers, and
threatened to kill them unless they
obeyed him. Epstein is neld at the
city Jail, and the names of the other
boys, about a dozen, are known to the
police.

CONDUCTOR TELLS
STORY OF BAD WRECK

SNOHOMISH, Oct. 26.-At the cor
oners inquest held here to tnvesti-
gate the Great Northern wreck Sun
day, when three men were killed, Rich
ard Erickson, conductor on the freight
train, made his statement. This was
to the effect that at Lowell kilograms
were received as to the time of the
various trains.
After consulting with the engineer
it was decided that they could reach
Sultan before the .Skykomish express
and have five minutes left. But after
passing Monroe there were two break
downs. He tried to signal the engin-
eer. but the air brakes would not
work and he started to run across the
train. when the collision occurred.
The inquest will be continued at 9
o'clock tomorrow morning.

HOQUIAM, Oct. 26.-Dr. Ray c.

the state of Oregon, arrived In the
CITY to investigate the cause of the
typhoid epidemic which has been rag

The city council allowed Mayor Nc

decided by local physicians that the
cause was not due to the city water
as the number Of cases would have
been increased several hundred. DR..

PRODUCE new KIND OF WHEAT
Experiments in Hybridizing Wheat at
State College Are Highly
Successful.

A series of experiments in hybrid
izing wheats has been conducted at the
state experimental station at the
Washington State college at Pullman
by Professor Elliott and Mr.. Lawrence.
with gratifying results. The series
has covered several years of work. BY
the crossing of two varieties Of wheat,
a new variety has been produced
which it is believed is very we'll adapt
ed to this country, states one report 1t
yielded 60 bushels per acre and stood
up nicely, very little of it being shat
tered.
Other experiments have been tried
by carefully sorting the varieties of
wheat, and selecting, for planting in a
given plot, only few Of the best
grains Of a variety of pure winter
wheat. The results Of these last ex-
periments have been very satisfac-
tory at the three stations, at Ritzville,
Quincy and Pullman.
The college has leased so acres of
land, which has been sown with hybrid
and selected winter wheat varieties,
and more will be sown in the spring.
Samples Of hybridized and sorted

various localities all the way from the
British line to southern Idaho. Similar
raising in other states, and it is hoped
that the efforts Of the experiment sta

Old Pioneer Lands In Omaha and
Is Coming Money.
SAYS HE IS COINS TO GET sCADs OF IT
WRITES INTERESTING ACCOUNT
OF Ox-TEAM TRIP OVER
OLD TRAIL.

c, B. Bagley, secretary of the board
of public works of Seattle, has received
letter from Ezra Meeker, the pioneer
who has journeyed across the United
States and marked the old Oregon
trail with monuments. Mr.. Meeker
left Seattle several months ago and
has now reached Omaha and has
erected his last monument, as there is
no regular trail east of the Missouri
river.
With Mr.. Meeker's letter were many
photographs Of the scenes along the
trail the same as they were between
1843 and 1857 the period in which most
of the travelling by wagon took place.
One of the scenes is the Chimney rock,
the most notable of all the old land
marks. This rock could be seen from
the moving wagons for two weeks,
while they were passing over a dis
lance of 200 miles.
Since his arrival in Omaha last
month Mr.. Meeker has published a
journals of travels in 1852 and 1906, en-
titled 1.-THE OK Team or The Old Ore
gon Trail,' Both Of his journeys were
with OK teams.
Mr.. Meeker made his real start from
Tumwater, that place marking as near
as can be determined the western end
Of the old Oregon trail Council Bluffs,
Iowa, marks the far eastern end of
the trail.
The first monument, temporary
wooden structure to be replaced by a
stone statue later was built at Tum-
water. Between there and Nebraska
there have been 10 monuments erected.
On the Platte river one of the oxen
died and Mr. Meeker found it impossi-
BILE to buy another and at Grand Island
$50 miles west of Omaha, was forced
to abandon the plan of completing the
trip to the river with an OK team.
Mr., Meeker will winter in Omaha.
In reply to a letter from Mr.. Bagley,
advising him to leave his wagon at
Omaha and not to subject himself to
any further hardships, he says:
