THE WHEAT MARKET.

Farmers and wheat growers of the
state of Washington, and particularly
of the inland empire, are doing some
thinking about the condition of the
wheat market and many are of the
opinion that there is something radi-
cally wrong with the situation. II is
realized that the condition of the
effect on the wheat buyers but still the
quotations from other sections would
indicate that there should be more do
ing here where the wheat is raised.
In Chicago wheat is quoted at $1O4
and $1.09; in Minneapolis about the
same; in San Francisco, from $0.96 to
$1.05 in Portland from SIC to SAC; in
Walla Walla, wheat may be sold if
the farmers will let it go at 20 or 73
cents. Seattle and Tacoma quotations
are about the same as those of Port
land with an advance of one or two
cents.
The consideration of these facts by
great many of the farmers is leading
them to the conclusion that a combina-
ton has beer formed to keep the price
of wheat down in the Pacific northwest
Acting on this belief, which is rapidly
becoming prevalent, large per cent
of the wheat growers believe it neces-
sary to organize a similar combina-
ton in orders TO get the market price
for their produce and the idea of a
farmers union is becoming popular.
Cotton growers of the south became
convinced that such methods as above
mentioned were adopted by buyers,
and the cotton growers formed a
union. Since that time better prices
have been secured for the cotton and
the growers attribute the fact to their
organizing. This led to the idea of a
national organization of producers with
branches throughout the country and
a local organization is growing in
Walla Walla county.
The majority of the farmers of the
inland empire are financially able to
hold their wheat and little is being
sold at the prices offered. 1t is not al
together clear why quotations in the
larger markets should be so far in adj
vance of the markets of the northwest
and the opinion prevails that better
price could be afforded here. However,
local buyers are not in the market. and
there are really no quotations here. al
though wheat might be sold if suffi-
GENTLY low price were accepted, which
leads to the belief that the money is
available. Developments are being close
~ watched by farmers in this vicinity
who are becoming convinced that the
only way TO break the combination. if
there is any combination, is to organ
izc and hold the grain for which there
is Ger: gin to be a demand in the near
future

ENGINEER [. 6. HILL
RETURNED YESTERDAY
Resumption Of Work on Granite Reef
Draining the Big Pit at Roose-
welt.

Engineer l.. G.. Hill returned yester-
day morning from a two weeks trip
in New Mexico. He says that out of
the two weeks he got in but four days
effective work, owing to rains and
washouts. He visited the Leesburg
dam. the Carlsbad project and the
Hondo project and from the latter
came back to Phoenix as directly as
he could. To save time he started
from Roswell in an automobile for
100 mile trip across the country to
Torrance where he expected to catch
an f. p. & n. f. train for FL Paso.
Seven miles out the heavens opened
and the rain came down in torrents.
Every wagon track became a creek
and the desert itself was covered with
three or four inches of water. They
started back to Roswell and for a time
it looked as though they would not be
able to even get back there. Arriving
at Roswell he took southbound train
and got as far as Carlsbad where he
was hung up by washouts down to-
ward FL Paso. Then he went north
east again to Amarillo and over the
Fort Worth railroad to Trinidad, Colo.
where he got on the Santa Fe and ar
rived here yesterday morning from the
north.
He finds things here in as good
shape as could be expected with the
Salt river carrying a big flood ever
since he left. News from Roosevelt

There was a large attendance.
though a few more could have found
seats without crowding. and the au-
dience was appreciative, enthusiastic

1t is greatly to be regretted. how
ever, that the patrons Of the opera
house are required to submit to the in
convenience of a ragged street car ser
vice and the impudence of a staff of
hoodlum ushers who, to say the least.
are incompetent. Concerning the
street car service it is to be plain. no
service at all. for since a misunder-
standing has arisen between the street
car officials and the management of
the Doris, the street cars no longer
wait at the theater for the accommo-
dation Of playgoers. on the contrary
they must wait for the cars until
the regular rolling stock in use makes
trips enough to carry them. or walk.
and unless ii is raining they choose
the sidewalk. 1t is suggested that il
would be good business for both the
opera house management and the
car company to settle their differences
unless they cherish their spitefulness
more than the money of the public.
Respecting the ushers it is a fact
that the urchins however well mean
ing they may be. are not familiar with
the house, are slow and are lacking in
proper courtesy toward patrons. Last
night ticket holders Were standing in
the aisles from ten to twenty minutes
before they could be ushered to their
seats and the show began and was
well under way while a large part OF
the audience was still standing.

LIKE MAGIC"
New Food Makes Wonderful Changes.

When a man has suffered from dys-
pepsia so many years that he can't re-
member when he had a natural appe-
tite. and then hits on a cure, he may
be excused for saying 1T acts like
magic
When it is a simple wholesome food
instead of any one of large number
of so-called remedies in the form of
drugs, he is more than ever likely to
feel as though a sort of miracle has
been performed.
A Chicago man, in the delight of re-
stored digestion. puts it in this way:

THE BIDWElUS' GRAFT.
Arrest For An Improper Use of the
Mails.

Chicago. ILL.,, Nov. 1.-Charles F.
Bidweli, secretary of the Bidwell Elec-
trio company. was arrested today on a
complaint made by Postoffice Inspect
or Ketcham that he and his father,
Benson II. Bidwell, president of the
company. had made use of the mails
to promote a fraudulent scheme. A
warrant was issued for the elder Bid
well but service was delayed, owing
to his illness.
According to the postal authorities
the Bidwells represented that Benson
Bidwell was the inventor of and man
ufacturer of an electric motor which
would not become heated. 1t Is
charged that the claims of Bidwell
constitute 81 fraud in asmuch as the
motor was not invented by Bidwell but
is a well known ordinary type. Two
hundred thousand dollars is said to
have been realized by the company
through the sale of stock. a part of
which was the personal property of
the Bidwells and from which the
stockholders derived no benefit.
