northwest, has Just been received b,
La Pendleton farmer for the season
crop raised on about 5000 acres OF
Ilmatiila wheat land. The check
was drawn by the Pacific Elevator
company for $79.S42.70.
All eastern Oregon has had ban

bushels ore one Der cent OF the total
wheat crop OF the United States Ac-
tual crop failure was never known in
this section. and many who began
work there q few years ago with an OK
cart are now riding in automobiles.
Part of the wheat acreage is leased
from the indians of the UmatilIa res

about $200. o09 year from this source

or two will add 20.e00 acres of fertile
land 10 the productive area of this

GREATER ACTIVITY

New York, Nov. S.-There was a
more pronounced stirring of specula.

day than at any time since the recent
period of disturbance set in. The
banks continue their attitude of dis.
favor towards large speculative op.
erations, but the manifest signs of
resumption of operations on mar
gin on a considerable scale, indicated
that this obstacle had been overcome
in some manner. Conspicuous buying
was concentrated in a limited number
of stocks, but the upward movement
was fairly comprehensive, though un'
even. The great trunk line railroad
stocks and the leading industrials
were the favorites The call money

there were additions to

SCHOONER IDA MAY rows
 WALRUS FROM SELDOVIA

The gasoline schooner Ida May lowed the gasoline steamer Walrus from Seldoyia to Seward, arriving Sat, urday afternoon. The Ida May came up from Seattle recently with a cargo of merchandise for Knik. From Sc. ward she sailed for Valdez with a car. go of forty-fve tons of coal from the Port Graham mine. Her owner, Capt, Morrison, will make a study of the Prince William sound trade with a view of entering it.
 The Ida May was here two years ago. She was then a sailing schooner, the gasoline motor having been in- stalled since.
 The Walus is the boat which C. F. Boggs recently purchased in Seldovia for the Prince William sound trade. She has a good hull but her machinery is antiquated and a new engine will have to be installed. For that reason she had to be lowed to Seward. The new engine will be installed here. She has a capacity of about twenty tons.

Indications multiply that the North western Steamship Company has arranged to swallow the Alaska Coast Company and accomplish 8 transporta- ton trust in the Alaska business. Its only rival would then be the Pacific Coas. Steamship Company, and the two could easily effect an understand ing. The Northwestern recently con- souda,et with the Alaska Steamship Company which operated only to Southeastern Alaska.
 Recently the Northwestern and the Alaska Coast consolidated their agencies at Valdez. On the heels of that comes the quiet application Of the Alaska Coast Company in the superior r5Gyt at Seattle for disiucorporatiou, The date o1 the hearing was set for July.

JOHN I. MORGAN
 PASSES AWAY
Famous Alabama Senator Dies Suddenly in Washington at
 Age of S5.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
 Washington, D. C., June l2-Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama died in this city late last night.

Senator Morgan was S3 years of age, the oldest man in the senate except his colleague, Senator PettuS, who was born three years earlier. He was sec ond in length of service in the senate, which he entered in 1887 and had served continuously thereafter until his death. Senator Allison of Iowa alone outranked him, entering the senate in 1873. Senator White of Maryland first entered the senate in 1868 but his to. tai service only aggregates eight years.
 Senator Morgan was born at Athens, Tennessee, June %, 1924, but emigrat- od to Alabama when g years old. He was admitted to the bar in lS45; was a presidential elector in 1860, elected on the Brcckinridge ticket; was dele gate in 1861 to the state secession con- veution; joined the Confederate army in May 1861 as a private and rose to the rank of brigadier-general. After the war he resumed the practice of law at Selma, which he continued un- til he entered the U. $. senate March 4, 1877. He was a presidential elector on the Tilden ticket in 1876. He had just entered upon his sixth term in the senate and had he lived would have been S9 years of age when it expired.

The senate eau lily spare as much ability and in' tegritv as have disappeared with Sena- tor Morgan. He was one of the few senators absolutely independent of corporate dictation. Although an ultra partisan and in his old age somewhat uuerelous he was to the last useful member of the nations highest par liamentary body.

THE COMING AUTOMOBILE

Three years ago an eminent railroad manager predicted that before long the automobile would be developed to a tracHle strength that would open the way for the abolition of railroads and che substitution ot greay national and state highways, perfectly paved, over which automobiles of tremendous power would draw heavy loads of pas .uggrs and freight.
 The prediction attracted scarcely passing notice lou, the devc.opmeu, of ta. au.owob... ha, proceeded a"ace and r, .ru,.u, uses have run pas. mer. pleasure carriages in which che rich -.... ..,. paved streets and bru...arU~. running down l., and pedestrians and exciting the envy of the u.....arta,.
