BUT LITTLE WHEAT IN EUROPE
Shortage and Not Speculation Respon-
sible for High Prices.

The European wheat situation. ac-
cording to the generally accepted view,
resolves itself into questions Of supply
aud demand. 1t is expected that 1t is
brought about by the present situation
there. 1t has been strongly influenced
by buying fer foreign demand. Ger
many has been purchasing Australian
and Argentine cargoes for nearly six
weeks, the shortness Of stocks In that
country being caused to some extent
by selling considerable quantities of
rye and wheat to Russia, as last years
Russian crop suffered damage. Ger
many, therefore, must now get 1000,
900 quarters more between January 10
and the end OF July this year than she
did during the same period last year.
This fact is regarded as mainly instru
mental in causing the squeeze. 1t is
also acknowledged that considerable
damage has been done to the winter
crops in Germany. Roumania. Hun

SUPPLY FROM THE CITY MAINS
Place of the Dead Could Be Made
Beau tiful With Grass, Flow
ers and Shrubs.

People of Athena and Adams who
have relatives buried in the Athena
cemetery have taken up the matter of
providing water for irrigation pur-
poses, that the place of their dead
may be beautifed
The Athena cemetery has slightly
location. The soil is fertile and with
the use of water, grass, flowers and
shrubs could be made to grow prolific
ally and the burial grounds be made
most beautiful.
The proposition to secure water
from the city mains has originated in
Athena. though Adams people, who
hurry their dead here. are also interest
ed in the matter. and have readily
consented to bear their portion of the
cost.
The method of defraying the ex-
pense of piping the water to cemetery
grounds will be by popular subscrip-
tions. After the water is turned on
the monthly rental will perhaps be
paid by assessment of each lot pro-
rata. 1t will perhaps be necessary to
form an association to have charge OF
the funds and select a sexton to look
after the cemetery grounds during the
summer months.

Women as Irrigators.

Lator conditions in this part of the

for himself il it must be done. Over

sThe Garden of Eden,' wives and
daughters Of necessity are forced to
assist husband and father in watering

TO SEARCH FOR Boys BODY
Farmers drag Tukanon for Eight
Miles Above Starbuck.

Bright and early Wednesday morn
ing posse of about so leading farmers
in the neighborhood of Starbuck took
up the task of searching for the body
of little Charley Atcheson, son of Mr..
|. Atcheson, living eight miles above
Starbuck, who fell from footlog near
his home last week, while crossing the
Tukanon river.
Younger brothers of the dead lad
witnessed the tragedy and Immediately
told their father of the boys danger.
Plunging into the stream in an effort
to rescue his son, Mr.. Atcheson barely
escaped watery grave as the Tukanon
is very deep at this point and has a
most treacherous current. Mr.. Atohe-
son was unable to get within reaching
distance of his son before the latter
sank for the last time. and the fat her
then turned his attention toward saw
ing himself.
Search has been made almost every
day since the tragedy occurred, but up
to this time the remains of the boy
have not been found. It is thought
that the body is lying at the bottom of
the stream, caught on snag which
prevents its rising, and the river from
the Atcheson home to Starbuck will
be thoroughly dragged tomorrow. The
dead boy. who was but five years OF
age, was wholly unable to battle with
the swift current. and before his father
could reach the scene. had Eeen car
ried several hundred feet down stream,
rendering it impossible for Mr.. Atche-
son to effect a rescue.

WAS BURNED WHILE IN BED
Lyghtle Home Was Set on Fire By
Matches Lighted By Boys.

That little 6-year-old Edison Lightle
was burned TO death in his bed Mon
day night. was the conclusion of Cor
oner MaoMartin and Chief Metz, of
the fire department. after an investi-
cation into the cause of the fire which
ruined the home of the Lightle family
Monday night, and came SO near caus-
ing the death of James r. Lightle, says
the Walla Walla Union.
From an investigation of the prem
lses and the stories of the different
members of the family, it appears
that Edison, in company with his
brother, Edwin. who is but IL years
Of age, went upstairs to their rooms
with no light save that made by strik-
ing matches as the little fellows found
their way through the darkness.
In the room where the boys slept
there was an lion bedstead and also a
wooden bedstead. Edison and Edwin
slept in the wooden frame and it was
where this led had stood that the
charred remains of the little fellow
were found. As the iron bed did not
burn it was the natural conclusion Of
the fireman that Edison had gotten
out of bed and found his way to the
other side of the room, hut an inves-
tigation yesterday made it appear that
the child never left his couch.
| According to the story Of Edwin,
who narrowly escaped the fate of his
Younger brother, the children pre-
pared for bed down stairs and went to
their room on the second floor by the
light of matches. Edwin says he
struck three matches, but that he put
all of them out. However, as the fire
originated from the boys room, it is
evident to the officers that the little
fellow failed to extinguish one match
which must have set fire to the floor
and walls, and as the little fellows
went to sleep very shortly after get
ting into led, the blaze was not dis
covered until the room was verita.

When awakened by the intense beat
Edwin screamed and awakened his
father, who ran into the room. Mr..

taking him to the head of the stairs
and starting him down, returned fo1
the younger boy. With the flames
