COMP ANIES STOP
BUYING GRAIN
NEW PHASE OF THE SITUATION
IN THE GRAIN WAR IN CLEAR
WATER COUNTRY - MONEY
sTRlNGENcY AND CAR SHORT.
AGE ALLEGED CAUSE.

In the face of the marked advance in
the prices of grain at Nezperce occa-
stoned by the independent operations
of p. w. Lawrence, the unknown buy
er, the two local grain companies that
have controlled the situation in the
Clearwater valley for period of years
and without opposition, yesterday re-
tired from the market, an unknown
proceeding in the history of the coun-
try. Farmers of the upper country,
who this year took a stand against the
alleged unfairnes sof the local COM
panies and organized a cooperative
association to sell their crop indepen-
dent of the two concerns, charge the
action of the old companies to an un-
Willingness to meet the competition
renee invasion
Mr.. j. P. Vollmor, president of the
Vollmer- Clearwater company, states
the withdrawal of his company from
the market is due to the car shortage
THE warehouses are practically fill
ed with graiH and we have no assur-
ance as to when we will sec1,e cars to
rel eye the situation" he said I'VE
have large quantities Of grain con-
tracted that is yet undelivered and
must reserve room in our warehouses
to receive the contracted product On
this account we have quit buying and
are receiving little but contracted
grain"
The stringency in the money market
is attributed as the reason for the
Kettenbach Grain company retiring
from the market by F. W. Kettenbach,
president of the company.
"The high prices of grains and the
stringent money situation has caused
US to hedge in our purchases at this
time" said Mr.. Kettenbach. "The car
situation is such that we have no as
surance when we can deliver the crop
and with large investments in grain
already we decided to call halt until
the situation is relieved

BRAINS VALUED
AT S6,OOO,OOO
STANDARD OIL PAYS $1,000 A DAY
TO ATTORNEY ROSENTHAL,
WHICH AT PER CENT MAKES
HIM WORTH AS MANY MILLIONS

NEW YORK, Oct. 29-It was learn
Led today that Morris Rosenthal, the
Standard Oil companys $1OOO-a-day
lawyer, IS originator of the unique de-
fense to be made by the hundred
million-dollar corporation in the gov
ernment's suit to dissolve it.
1t was his conception of the defense
that caused the Standard to employ
him at the unprecedented salary
which began last spring. Estimating
Rosenthars salary to represent a re-
turn of per cent in property value
his friends here figure that the actual
market value of his brains exceeds
s6,000,000. AS it is his brains for
which the Standard pays his price.
1T is astounding when you think of
lit" said a friend today Consider
that If he should be run over by a
street car, killed in a wreck or lose
his mind, a machine with a money
making capacity equal to $4,000, 900
would pass out of existence"
Rosenthars friends say he is a
thinking machine" There is little in
his clean appearance to suggest
heavy mental powers. His face is un-
marked by wrinkle.
Ros anthal evidently believes his
body is the strong box in which the
treasure is stored away. He will moi
talk in connection with his strength
and health, but breaches fresh air in
cessanty.
Il stay in bed eight hours every
night" he said, whether S am able to
sleep or not, l always stay the full
time. I go through physical exer-
cises for Is minutes when 1 get up
and then take cold plunge"

AS Precautionary Measure.

PORTLAND, Oct. 29.-At the re-
quest of the Portland clearing house
association. Governor George E
Chamberlain last night declared the
next five days in this state legal hol-
iday in order to prevent money famine
in this state. The banks of this city
are sound nor has there been any run
on them nor any threatened.
Portland banks not only have stand
ing accounts in the East and in San
Francisco but they have during the
last few months loahed millions OF
dollars to Eastern bankers. The Port
land banks have been notified by their
correspondents in other parts OF the
country and others indebted to them
that they must not attempt to draw on
the outsiders for any money whatever
The feeling among local bankers to-
night is that the New York banks have
saved the day for themselves by COR
railing all the available money in tn,
country.

Ho PRODUCT GOES TO WORLDS
MARKETS WITHOUT BEING IN.
SPECIFIED.

The Idaho sheepmen have achieved
distinction not enjoyed by any other
Western state by securing from the
secretary of agriculture a proclama-
ton which has raised the quarantine
on Idaho sheep and admits the sheep
shipments from this state into the
markets of the world without inspec-
tion.
The results indicated by the procla-
nation of the secretary of agriculture
represent the persistent work of the
sheepmen and the state and federal
officers of but three years. In the be-
ginning of the season of 1904 practi-
cally of the sheep of the state had
been exposed to scab and large bands
were suffering with the malady. The
work Of eradicating the disease was
taken up with much energy on the part
of the sheep owners and by Co~opera-
tion of the state and federal officers
the ranges are free and the sheep are
in perfectly healthy condition.

DANCE THAT
LED TO DEATH
SALOME IN THE HOLY CITY,
BEAUTIFUL, FASCINATING,
LOVELY DAUGHTER OF HERO
DlAS GIVES FINE EXHIBITION
IN DANCE OF DEATH.

Among the many brilliant scenes that
the production of The Holy City,
presents, none Is more sensationally
superb than the one in which Salome,
the beautiful daughter of Herodias,
dances before King Herod and his
court.
In diaphanous drapery, kaleido-
scopic as butterflies wings in rainbow
rays, its folds rising and falling around
and above her nimbIe feet like clouds
caressed by summer winds, bending
and swaying in harmonious motion to
the enticing music played the royal
dancer floats like a bubble on the pail
ace terraces, bewitching the intoxica-
ted monarch, who first offers half his
kingdom, but finally grants the head of
John, the Baptist, as a reward for SEN
suous delight Exquisite as are the
surroundings of this situation, its dra-
matte intensity is never lost; the con-
spiracy and its fateful ending hidden
for the moment by the alluring acting
seldom witnessed on stage.
Luella Morey, especially engaged tc
play Salome gives to the difficult role
that fire and intensity which the char
acter demands.

SITUATION NOT CONSIDERED ALARMING

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 29.-Follow-
ing Governor Chamberlain's proclama-
zion issued last night declaring a five
day holiday until Monday, November
came feeling of security on the
mart of the bankers of the city.
There is no undue excitement on the
mart of the people. The expediency of
the situation is generally realized. The
feeling that is optimist for the safety
Of the bonks is not dispelled by the
governors proclamation.
The Bankers association positively
state that none of the Portland banks
are in a dangerous condition. They
have been loaning millions to Eastern
financial institutions who now win not
return loans in any other form than
clearing house certificates.
Had holiday not been declared the
cash reserves of the banks would have
been depleted in a few days, but in the
meantime the bankers an arrange some
method of meeting the situation.
