There is one thing in the political
situation of the day we do not under
stand, which is why Mr. Bryan is con-
tinually accusing the republicans of
appropriating his political tenets and
at the same time is abusing them for
the principles they advocate.

TIMBER SUPPLY is GONE.
Port Susan Mills Are Forced to Close
Down.

Stanwood, WASH, Sept. 1S.-The
well known Port Susan Lumber COM
pany's camp at Port Susan has been
compelled to cease operations as the
timber supply has given out.
The camp, probably better known
as Cobb's camp, has been in opera
ton for the last 10 years and has
cut several billion feet of lumber dur
ing its existence.
The men who started II had COM
paratively small means at the time,
but by careful operating and steady
work they soon acquired a great deal
of fine timber lands, worth millions
of dollars. Messrs. Healey and Cobb
were the originators and these two
men worked together during the
camps entire existence and today
both have made fortunes. The tim
ber was purchased from the Blakley
Mill company and at the time was
thought to be almost inexhaustible.
There has been an average of $50

San Francisco, Sept. 1S.-San

war on the jobbers of Seattle to re-

rancher near Bossburg. Stevens coun-
ty, Wash, 16-year-old Lizzie Pas

BOATS NEEDED

WHEAT IS POURING INTO

Steamer j. n. Teal of the Open River
Transportation Company, Is Carry
ing 1900 Sacks Daily Into Portland
and Another Boat Could BE Kept
Bnsy-All Shipping Points on the
River Crowded With Wheat.

Portland. Sept, 1S.-The Open River
Transportation company yesterday
purchased the Spencer dock ut The
Dalles, so that henceforth it will be in
better shape to receive freight at that
POINT 1t was also decided to repair
the wharf barge at Arlington so as to
place it in shape for receiving freight
in few days. Men have already been
started for Arlington to repair the
barge.
The Open River transportation
company's boat ]. n. Teal is hauling
all the wheat 1t can handle every trip
down the river and the grain is being
brought to the landings at lively rate
from all points.
Superintendent Fred Snipes of the
Open River Transportation company,
who has Just returned from an extern
sive tour of inspection between Port
land and Umatilla, says that the Teal
is now bringing 1900 sacks of wheat
into Portland every other day and that
she could get much mroe II her ca
pacity would permit it. 1t seems now
likely that another boat will be added
to the service before long.
There are at least 10000 sacks of
wheat at Alderdale on the north bank
for shipment to Portland, and at
Chapman, another prominent point on
the river, wheat is coming to the
landing at the rate of about 1900 sacks
n day. We get a great of wheat from
the districts on the oregon side also,
there being now, for instance, at least
900 sacks at Quinton awaiting ship
ment to Portland" said the superin-
tendent today.
There never was heavier move
ment of wheat by boat down the Co.
lumbia than at present, so 1t is gener-
ally conceded and the situation will
be greatly relieved heer among ex-
porters thereby, because it will assist
them in getting their vessels dispatch
ed for Europe in seasonable time,
Within the neighborhood of 5000
bushels coming in on the Open River
steamer Teal every other day several
ship cargoes will be brought out from
the fields by the water route during
the season.

FOREST SERVICE WINS.
South Dakota Man Fined for Grazing
Without Permit.


Washington, Sept. 1s.-The fourth
important case won by the govern
ment upon the question whether 1t is
a crime to violate the regulations OF
the secretary of agriculture has just
been decided in the United States
district court, held at Deadwood,
South Dakota, where Robert b. Bale
was found guilty of grazing trespass
on the Black Hills national forest and
fined 800 and costs. Mr.. Bale at
once paid the fine and was released.
The defendant Is a stock owner re-
siding south of Rapid City and has
been grazing about $50 head Of cattle
in and adjacent to the Black Hills
national forect for some years. When
the range in the national forests was
put under administration in 1906 and
the grazing fee system introduced,
Mr.. Bale refused to secure grazing
permit or to remove his stock from
the forest.
After repeated efforts on the part
of the local forest officers to persuade
Mr.. Bale to remove his stock, he was
finally arrested and in August, 1906,
was indicted by the United States
grand jury at Deadwo0d.
The trial of the case was delayed
over two terms of court by an effort
to have the case tried at Deadwood
instead of Sioux Falls and the case
was not presented to the jury until
September 4.
The court was prompt in overrul-
ing the defendants demurrer attack
ing the constitutionality of the graz
ing regulations and Ia reaching a de-
cision the jury was only out 15 min
utes.

Chicago, Sept. 18.-The $29,240.-
900 fine imposed on the Standard Oil
company by Judge X. NJ. lands in
the federal court recently, will be
wiped out of existence on a techni-
cality IL schemes of Standard Oil
lawyers are carried to fruition.
The line of action which may re-
suit in the big fine becoming nothing
but a game, revolves around the de-
cision Of Judge Landis in the Alton
immunity case, which is set for hear
ing on September "a.
In the event that the Alton is
granted immunity, which 1t has been
fully established was promised them
through an agreement with Former
Attorney General Moody, the Stand
ard Oil attorneys will demand that
Judge Landis' fine be set aside.
The grounds for this plea will be
that the Standard Oil lawyers should
have been appraised of this immunity
agreement in order that they might
question Alton railroad witnesses
properly.

By November /, IL present plans are
carried out as now fully expected.
Pendleton will have first-class pas
teurizing plant and a milk depot at
of all milk to the. city will be maAe
from this depot.
Arrangements are now being per
fected by which a first-class pasteur-
izing plant costing about $1,000, win
be established in the Pendleton cream
cry building, and practically all Of the
milkmen of this city who now operate
independent deliveries, will sell their
milk to the pasteurizing depot. from
which 1t will be delivered to patrons
1t is thought that 1t will require at
least three wagons to deliver and nh
kinds of milk and cream will be car
ried on the wagons.
The Pendleton creamery has en-
ployed Ralph Hardner, an expert pas
teurizing operator, who will have
charge of the plant, which will be tho
first to be established in eastern Orc
gon, although one has been ordere&
for walla Walla, where practically the
same arrangement as here, has been
made. =
All the milk delivered from the pas
| teurizing depot will be contained In
pint and quart sanitary sealed bottles
and every particle of, milk sold wiz
| contain the per cent of butter fa1 re-
quired by state law, which is now Sh
per cent, and it is the intention of the
Pendleton Creamery company to raise
the percentage of butter fat to even
per cent and better. At the present
time it is said tina milk running very
much below the percentage requires
by law is being sold in the city
There are now three independent
milk deliveries in the city beside occa-
sional deliveries of cream from the
creamery. The Independent milkmel
will sell their product to the cream
cry which will pasteurize It and sen
it in the sanitary bottles and deliver
1t from its own wagons.
The pasteurizing process purifies
the milk absolutely and the ~~namery
will raise the butter fat standard and
these and many other benefits wiz
come from the installation of the planf
in this city.
