Nelson, B. c., Aug. 13.-J. F. Mil
Ter, superintendent of the Trail re-
finery, and d. Noble, assayer, endeav-
ored to shoot the Miles rapids on the
Kcotenai river, from SLOGAN to its
junction with the Columbia, and 80
miles thence to Trail. The adventur-
ous pair borrowed a canvas boat and
had air cushions, but forgot pumps.
The boat ran down Is miles, but in
rough water near the junction with
the Columbia the boat upset.

struggled ashore. Noble, powerful
athlete, was never seer again, possi-
bly, striking a submerged rock in the
icy waters. Miller landed on the un-
inhabited side OF the river and could
not get across. His wife waited all
night at house overlooking the river
32 miles below, her husband heir
unable to communicate with her.
A search party all day long was
unable to locate the body OF Noble

NO STORAGE INCREASE.
VIII Hold fhe Rate at Last Years
Figures.

Palouse, Aug. l3.-Farmers in the
territory adjacent to Palouse are not
to suffer from the raise in handling
and storage charges put into effect
by the majority of the warehouse
men in the inland empire, and said to
be the result of combine for the pur-
pose OF keeping out the Independent
buyer and controlling the grain mar
ket.
At meeting Of the local buyers a
few days ago 1t was decided to leave
the rate at the same as 1t was last
season, and has been for many years.
Receipts will read the same as in the
past, no charges being made In the
insurance clause, or any other part OF
the ticket.
Before the decision was reached by
the -warehousemen there was consid-
cradle dissatisfaction expressed by the
farmers. They are, however. satis-
fled to have the conditions imposed
by the warehousemen the same as last
year and no effort will be made to
hold the grain on the farms.

freight business only.
That the additional train over the
w. & C. R. is being placed solely to
handle the present business of the
line and has no bearing upon the
north bank road, Is declared by Mr..
Cutler. He says that the railroad
people now have all they can do at
tending to present needs and that
the proposition of connections with
the north bank road will not be taken
up until the later line is completed.
However, 1t is his inference that
when the time comes the Northern
Pacific will provide good passen-
ger service out of Pendleton connect
ing with the north bank line so that
local people may go to Portland over
the Hill lines should they so prefer,
Before the consolidation of the w.

manager Of the branch line. He now
holds the position of assistant super
intendent OF the Pasco division Of the

TeIegraphers Win in Court.

San Francisco, Aug. 12.-Judge
Van Fleet in the United States circuit
court today rendered a decision in
the matter at issue between the order
of Railway Telegraphers and the
Southern Pacific company. The de-
cision favored the telegraphers on
three out OF the four principal points
which had been appealed for a de-
cision before an arbitrating board.
Judge Van Fleet reversed the de-
cision of the arbitration committee
that the appointment of station agents
whose annual earnings equal or ex-
coed $1,000, shall be controlled by the
schedule of agreement between the
telegraphers and the railroad COM
pany The board of arbitration which

That the Northern Pacific will
shortly provide regular passenger
train for the old w. & C. r. line was
announced here this afternoon by ].
G. Cutler, now assistant superintend-
ent of the Pasco division and In i'm
mediate charge of the branch line.
According to Mr.. Cutler no definite
time has yet been set for the COM
mencement of the regular passenger
service, but he says that the train is
a certainty. 1t will be put in opera
ton as soon as conditions on the
main line become such that the ne
cessary rolling stock can be spared
The passenger train will be started
with two coaches at first and will
run upon a schedule that will con-
meet with the main line N. p. trains.
"A regular passenger train over
the line is necessary in order to prop
erly care for the traffic and to get
passengers through on time," said
Mr.. Cutler in speaking of the reasons
for the ordering Of the extra train.

New York, Aug. 13.-What is be-
lieved to. be the start Of the biggest
panic in years started in the stock
market this morning and continued
all through today's session. The SELL
ing pressure even on the famous Black
Friday was not SO heavy as today.
The only thing that kept the market
from finding bottomless prices was
the lack of telegraphic communica-
ton with many important points.
It Is not doubted here that practi-
the interior was willing to let go to-
day providing he could get his selling
order to market. This sort of feeling
was what caused drop Of almost IS
a share in the value of Reading Rail-
way stock In the local market today.
The scenes witnessed on the ex-
change today were not the usual ones.
when all is generally quiet, but every
floor trader either had stocks to sell
at almost any price or was waiting
like vulture to pick up some unfor-
tunate's holdings at nominal por-
tion Of its real values.
Losses of SO or 81 a share were
quite common during today's session.
Union Pacific lost nearly $3.50 a
share and Atchison was down fully
the same amount. American Smelter
lost to the tune of $3.50 a share, and
would likely have gone lower had the
sessions time been extended. The
Hill securities, Northern Pacific and
Great Northern were hit very hard.
st. Paul lost SO and Colorado Fuel &
Iron the same sum. The pressure
in Amalgamated Copper put that Sc
curity down nearly $3.50 share in
value.
The London market was likewise
panicy and losses in American issues
were the most severe in recent trad
ing. This likewise caused a general
depression all through the London
market. ~ S

increase in the assessment of the
members. It was manifestly impos-
sible to do this within the "a hours
allotted by the telegraphers' organiza-
ton. A meeting of the board of di-
rectors would have to be called. and
as the board is composed of Is men
living in all parts of the country, it
is impossible to get them together.
Mr.. Stone offered to meet a COM
mittee of the Associated Press en-
ployes and make such recommended
tions as might be agreed upon. This
was not satisfactory to the operators
and then Mr.. Stone agreed to call a
telegraphers meeting of the directors
and asked the operators to wait until
Tuesday night. This request was re-
fused and the operators by a small
majority voted to strike Immediately.
At $50 o'clock, San Francisco
time, the men left their keys and the
entire a. p. system is at a standstill.

LANDFRAUDERS FINED.
Federal Judge "Soaks'' Three Offend
ers at Cheyenne.

Cheypenne, Aug. 19.-This after
noon in the federal court Judge j. A.
Riner overruled the motion for a new
trial in the &C ses of E. E. Lonebaugh
and Robert McPhilamey, recently
convicted here of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government in the acquisi-
tion of coal lands at Monarch. Wyo.
The judge imposed a fine of $40, 1000
each on Holbrook and Lonebaugh
and a $4,000 fine on McPhilamey, who
he designated as the tool of the coal
miners. Each must pay one-third of
the costs of the case and stand COM
mitted to the county Jail until the
fines and costs are paid. The cases
will be appealed to the circuit court
of appeals.

All Out at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Aug. 12.-The tele-
graphers in the employ of the Asso-
ciated Press throughout the entire
country went on strike last evening
because General Manager Stone was
unable to comply Immediately with
their demands for radical increase
in wages. Mr.. Stone sent a message
to the operators explaining that
compliance with their demand would
mean an increase of over 5000. 900
annually in the A. p. He stated that
it was a mutual organization con-
Quoted without profit and that there
was no reserve fund to meet such an
extraordinary expenditure. The only
way that an increase such as was de-
manded could be granted was by an

Portland, Ore, Aug. 12.-The ope-
'rators of the Western Union and Pos
tai telegraph companies in this city
left their keys last evening.
At exactly 1921 O'Clock the opera
tors of the Western Union in response
to the blowing of whistle by Presi-
dent Walter Branin of the local
union. At 7:44 the operators of the
Postal telegraph company, learning of
the action of the Western Union en-
rloyed also left their keys.
The strike was very orderly. the
operators being instructed to leave
all their messages properly arranged
with their schedule sheets completed
The messenger boys of the city went
out at IL o'clock last night. Similar
action was taken by the operators
at Tacoma, Spokane, Seattle, Lewis
ton and at other points in the north
west.

Chicago In the Slump.

Chicago, Aug. 13,-With all statis-
tics of a most bullish nature, the Chi
cago wheat market dropped 3 3-4
cents bushel during today's call.
The strike of the telegraphers was
perhaps the main reason for the de-
preston, holders seeming to want to
let go at almost any figure-just to
get out of the market until the wire
workers had resumed.
The wheat market opened lower
with selling orders coming in from
all sides. Commission houses with
long-wire connections were the prin-
cipal sellers; this being accounted for
by the fact that outside traders did
not want to be in the market so long
as they had no telegraphic quotations
to guide them. The market closed
around the low points for the day.

OVER 200, 900 BUSHELS
HAS BEEN SOLD IN ATHENA
Prices at That Point Ranged from 90
to II Cents-Many Growers Are Ex-
pected TO Hold for Better Prices

Slight-Some so and 6O-Bushel
Yields Reported.

Harvest was resumed In different
parts of Umatilla county yesterday,
and 1t is found that the recent rains
did very little damage to the wheat
in most localities.
Wheat is now being hauled to the
warehouses in great loads all over
the county, and 1t is believed that
many of the growers will hold their
yields for better prices than will be
paid early this fall, though It is pre-
dicted that none will be sold much
below 20 cents.
Over 100000 bushels of the new
crop have been sold in Athena, the
Preston-Parton Milling company
alone having purchased 100000 sacks
at prices ranging from SO to II cents
per bushel. The Independent and
Pacific Coast Elevator companies
have also purchased several thou
sand bushels.
Some has been sold at Adams and
Helix at good prices, though very lit
tie has been moving there UP to this
time.
Anson Woods of Weston has sold
5000 bushels to the Preston Parton
Milling company at Athena, for 10
cents per bushel.
Many so and 60-bushel yields con-
tinue to be reported from the Athena,
Weston. Helix and Adams country
where the busy harvest season will be
on for a few more weeks to come.
Bumper yields are being received on
the reservation near Pendleton.
Some reports of grain being bleach
ed and lighter on account of the rain
have been received, but the damage
| will be very little.

Seattle Conservative.

Seattle, Aug. 12.-Seattle local Of
the Commercial Telegraphers' union
of Chicago, took a conservative course
at its meeting yesterday on the strike
situation declaring not to strike until
1t shall have orders to do so from
President Smith of the central body.
This action was taken at the labor
temple after the local had voted to re-
fuse to handle all unfair messages
coming to Seattle which would in
clude kilograms originating in offices
in which members of the union have
gone on strike. This vote was re-
considered and 1t was decided to await
instructions from the international
president and this message was sent
to President Smith:
Local No. 40 at a special meeting
voted to submit themselves to your
leadership and abide by your instruc-
tions absolutely. Please instruct us
what action you desire taken by u.s.
