By the use of his medicine, which
was good, he was enabled to produce
many most marvellous happenings.
Murmuring to the great Manitou to aid
him, Chief Neverslip showed unto his
red brothers that there really did ex-
list good reasons why the local popula-
ton should not be put out of commits

were wonderful incidents that cowed
even the most vengeful hearts present.

the past prophets headgear. When
control of the rntutored minds had
been secured, Chief Neverslip cinched
his purpose by summOning spirits of
departed chiefs and requesting them
to deliver words of guidance to the
tribe.
Hardly had the command been issued
when the guard of the wigwam was
seized by mighty unseen forces and
before the astonished eyes of the tribe
he wrote upon the sands. These were
interpreted into message of peace by
the tribal prophet. With these strange
signs did Chief Neverslip gain his ends.

Three PendIst0n Farmers Dispose
Of $1,000 Sacks
PRICE IS CLOSE TO SIXTY CENTS
OWING TO CAR SHORTAGE;
MARKET STRONGER.

PENDLETON, Jan. 26.-Sixteen
thousand sacks of wheat were pur-
chased recently for the Puget Sound
Warehouse company by B. B. Rich
ards, the local buyer for that company
in absente of Tom Montgomery. This
is the largest deal in wheat that has
been made for several weeks and it is
also thought that the price is the best.
for while it has been given out as SIS
rents it is known that a better price
than this was offered for a part of the
wheat by another buyer. So it is very
probable that the price was not far
from Sc cents.
This lot was made up from the crops
of William Piper, John Hodgson and
A. A. McItyre.
Though the price of wheat has been
getting better during the last few
weeks there has not been much NOV
ing as those who did not sell early
hold their crops or have been conf
dent that the price of wheat would
go up to so cents per bushel 1t is a
fact that there are a large number
of growers who have wheat in the
different warehouses who say that they
are going to keep it there until they
can get 60 cents for it,

Building up of a Great City.

For an inspiration to Americans
and as a guide to what can be done
in the way of building up a great
city, the example of Los Angeles,
California stands absolutely without
a rival in the whole world.
Situated in fertile but semi-
arid region, where the average
rainfall, confined to few months
in the winter, is only 16 inches
and where it sometimes falls to
less than FIVE inches for an entire
year, the people of Los Angles
were clearly up against propo-
sition that needed prompt and
heroic treatment if the city were
to live and prosper.
So when the voting population
of that wonderful California town
rose up June IL, last, and BY a
vote of 10 to l decided in favor of
bonding the city for $23. 900, 900
to bring water from the Sierra Ne
vada, nearly $50 miles away, there
was proclaimed to the world not
only the abiding faith Of these
people that Los Angeles will one
day be city of 1000. 00o-for
such a population the new water
supply will have capacity to ul-
timately serve but there was also
exhibited in the marvellous courage
and nerve displayed the reason
why Los Angeles has already come
from an Indian pueblo to city of
nearly 100000 people in fewer
years than any such city was ever
built. Nothing more inspiring to
all America, nothing that the
South particularly can more pro-
ftably take to heart, has been
furnished in all the history of
town development and municipal
expansion than this superbly
courageous action, the browning
achievement of a community which
does all things in so big and broad
q manner as to reflect new glory
on the enterprise of the Amer
ican people.-CorpEs Christi Daily
Caller.
