MAN WHO LEFT HORSES
OUT ACCUSES BARN MEN

A serious charge is made against a
livery stable by Matt Webber, whose
horse and buggy were picked up on
the street last night, taken to the po-
lice station and later stabbed in the
barn.
According to Mr.. Webber. his horse
was given rIothing to drink from the
time it was taken in the barn at about
9 o'clock until 1880 this morning, when
Weber called at the barn.
Weber says that because of thirst
the horse was unable to eat anything.
also tha, the harness was left on the
horse all night.
Webber says he was charged for two
meals for the horse though the horse
eat nothing.
He enters a plea that horses picked
up by the police and taker, to the barn
be given at least humane treatment.

WAREHOUSEMEN RAISE
WHEATSTORA
Advance is Made f 'ft to Seyentfve Cents Per Ton to
January l. With 49, Increase Expected Farmers
to Build Their |, 16ranares at Once

When the news came of the increase
in storage charges, one or two ranch
ers had already begun to haul their
wheat. One of these had planned TO
build his own platforms and hold his
grain without the warehouse charges.
To have done this would have cost him
less than the additional charges he will
be compelled to pay through the in
crease in the rates.
The farmers in this section origin
ally had a warehouse rate of 40 cents
a ton. This was increased to so cents
a ton for storage to January 1, with 10
cents a ton per month after that date
to those farmers who were holding
their wheat for an advance in prices.
1t is now believed the rate after jan
uary l, will be Is cents per month fol-
lowing the so per cent increase in the
per ton rate up to the first of the
year.
Among the warehouse firms increas-
ing the rate these are reported: Kerr,

Finally he was extricated and was

You always have to go to bed when
you fall from the waterwagon.

days off he hopes to be around again.

Through a combine of the ware
bousemen of the state of Washington
farmers will be compelled to pay rs
cents a ton warehouse charges instead
of so cents a ton, the rate charged last
year. The news of the combine leaked
out today when a number of local
agents served notice on the prospective
customers.
The announcement of the increase
in the warehouse rates has created in
tense indignation among big ranchers
who have large crops of wheat to sore.
They declare the combine is the result
of a conspiracy to break the prices for
wheat and force the growers to sub
nit once more to the dictates of tins
mddlemen and the railroads.
Rather than this the farmers will call
a meeting and take steps through the
farmers union to establish warehouses
of their own, trusting to later COM
plants to the state railroad and ware
house commission to force the rail-
roads to accept the shipments.
