NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Prominent Oregon Families United in
Marriage.

Miss Bertha Matlock, we'll known
in this city, where she has many
friends and relatives, was welded in
Portland yesterday to Mr.. Frank ].
Richardson of that city. The follow
ing account of the ceremony is from
the Portland Journal:
Two widely known oregon families
were united at II O'Clock this morning,
when Frank ]. Richardson of this city,
was married to Miss Bertha Matlock,
of La Grande. The nuptials took place
at the Cathedral residence, Father
McDevltt officiating Mr.. and Mrs.
Richardson departed at 2 o'clock over
the Northern Pacific for st. Paul, Chi
cago, New York, Jacksonville and New
Orleans, to return home by way of
San Francisco.
Mr.. Richardson is the eldest son of
Tom Richardson, n deceased pioneer
and capitalist Of Portland. For years
corner Of 18th and Alder streets. and
the property is part of the estate left,
which is valued at approximately
$780, 900. The bride is a daughter of
Edward Matlock, leading citizen of
La Grande and member of a family

STOP STREAM WORK
NO MORE STREAM MEAS
URENIENT IN OREGON.
Failure of the Irrigation Code I'm the
Recent Session of the Legislature,
Made 1t Impossible to Continue the
Work-All Streams i'm Eastern Ore
gon to BE Abandoned.

through the failure of the irriga-
ton bill to pass the recent session of
the legislature, the work of stream
measurement and photographic sur
Vey carried on by the United States
government in Oregon will be greatly
reduced and many of the stations
wholly abandoned.
j. c. Stevens, district photographer
for Oregon, in speaking of the matter
in Salem yesterday, said:
The stations so affected will be
those on the Upper Deschutes river,
those in the neighborhood of Silver
lake, on the Chewaucan near Paisley,
and on the Silvies river and Silver
creek in the vicinity of Burns.
The work in Malheur county will
be reduced to that of one station on
the Malheur river at Vale. The citizens
Of Union, realizing the Importance of
the results obtained on Catherine
creek at that place, are public spirit
ed enough to furnish observations
voluntarily, which work will be main
tanned, If possible.
In Wallowa county, all stations on
the Wallowa will be discontinued. un-
less local parties are sufficiently in
terested to furnish voluntary observ-
ations.
The station on the Umatilla river at
Gibbon which has been maintained
for number of years, will be aband-
oned. West of the Cascade noun
tains a number Of stations have here
tofore been maintained which are
chiefly valuable for power purposes,
and, although the records from some
of them will no doubt be valuable
at some future time for possible ir-
rlgation in the Willamette valley, not
withstanding this, it will be necessary
to abandon the work at stations where
the expense is inordinately high. Just
those that will be affected has not yet
been determined upon.
I regret very much that any move
of this kind has been necessary, as
the abandonment of work of this ma
ture right in the very face of an in
creased demand for the results is a
thing greatly to be regretted, but
there Is no alternative.

New York Enjoys an Active Foreign
Trade During Past Week.

New York Enjoys an Active Foreign
Trade During Past Week.
The following extract from a New
York market letter gives the prices
and movement of opples in the east;
While apple holdings in New York
at present are about twice what they
were at this time yea rago, buyers
report fine fruit is very hard to get
so that 1t can be handled at small
profit, says the letter.
The coolers in Greater New York
and Jersey City have about 10000
barrels of apples left. During Feb
ruary the movement here from stor-
age was the biggest on record, close
to 100000 barrels being taken out.
There is a good demand both on
domestic and foreign account for
fine fancy fruit and fancy Baldwins
on the Barclay street dock Thursday
were bringing SO, while fancy Green
ings, Kings ana Rome Beauties were
selling up $3.50. The price now be-
ing obtained in New York for Bald
wins is rs to 80 cents less than the
fruit can lie bought for on track in
western New York.
Receipts for week will be about
$4,000 barrels. The demand is good
from exporters and foreign markets
are in fair condition, Liverpool MAX
ing as high as IS fer fancy Baldwins.
S4.hO Ben Davis and $3.50 for Rus
sets. In London Baldwins and
Greetings bring S4.25 to Sc for fancy
and 81 for Ben Davis.
Ben Davis on the Glasgow market
are quoted at $3.50 to IS. All the
markets on the other side are very
firm.
The exports last week exceeded
$4,000 barrels from all ports, and
this week will probably run a few
thousand over that. great many
frozen apples swere offered in Eu-
ropean markets the past week on ac-
count of severe cold here two weeks
ago.
