A Question OF Vital Interest to a
Farmer.

The consumption question is of
as much vital interest to afarmer
as the production, man works
from the beginning to the end Of
a season, hoping for results with
a heart full Of faith in his labor,
his land and the season. To the
energetic man the thot Of failure
never enters his mind; he is sat
listed that if he does his work
we'll, success will follow.
But when it comes to the things
he can not produce, he, in a
large degree must rely on the
honor and integrity of the mer-
chant, while he knows as a rule
that time will tell with whom he
is dealing. He must purchase
groceries, and after a season of
constant trading, finds he has
not been given a square deal;
what shall he do then? Let us
tell you.
Trade at Smallwood's. His
brands of goods are all leaders,
and if you show where he has
been less than honorable we will
present you with a large bill OF
goods Of your own selection.
It's Smallwood's Cash Grocery.

ABOUT FLOUR WAR
Flour is Cheap in ot=-Thinks
The Mill Should Not Retail
Flour.
The people Of Minot and vicin-
ity perhaps know by this time
that there is war" on flour
between the Minot Flour Mill Co.
of Minot and the local merchants.
| want to explain to the people
just how this trouble came about
and state the position Of the To-
cal merchants of whom am one.
It was but short time ago that
I wanted figures from the, Minot
mill on two car loads Of flour and
Mr.. Dunnell, the manager, quot
ed me the flour at 81. 40 per bar
rel. Up until this time l had
been handling the Minot flour
and was pushing it for all / was
worth, holding the Grand Forks
Flour Is cents a sack higher in
order to give the Minot flour the
best of it. Mr.. Dunnell raised
the price of his flour without CIV
ling me any warning and l could
not stand for it.
| want to protect my trade and
am compelled to buy my flour
where l can get the best deal.
You will note that at the present
time, Mr.. Dunnell is selling the
Minot flour at $1.80 for a SO
pound sack, equal to $500 a
barrel, or 80 cents less than the
price he quoted me, dealer. Is
this right? l ask the people in
all fairness if the Minot Flour
Mill Co. IS treating the merchants
right. Mr.. Dunnell cannot ex-
pect all of the business from Mi
not. The merchants were trying
to push a home product which is
the thing to do, providing they
are given square deal and | for
one will always do what I can to
push anything made in Minot, if
am given an opportunity.
But did you ever hear OF a man
ufacturer selling his products to
the retail trade before? Can he
expect the trade Of the dealer?
Take the manufacturer of bug
gies for instance, You can't buy
a buggy from a factory in the
United States except thru a deal
er. The manufacturer is COM
PEELED to protect his trade. A
manufacturer who would employ
the methods Of Mr.. Dunnell
would be out of business in two
weeks time. I have nothing
against Mr.. Dunnell or the pro-
duct of his mill.
am in business to do the best
/ can. I always sell my goods
at prices that are right, and in
order to do so must buy right.
l couldn't do all the grocery bust
ness in Minot if it was all offered
me. But / do appreciate share
of it and think that Mr.. Dunnell
ought to be satisfied with share
too.
Mr.. Dunnell will not be able to
undersell me or any other mer-
chant, am thinking. | offer
this week Washburn & Crosby's
best flour, the Gold Medal brand
for 81. Is a sack, SO pounds. This
is away below cost. I will not
allow myself to be undersold even
by a manufacturer. | believe
that in this fight, the people of
Minot will stand by the mer-

The splendid reward which comes
to long and faithful service as a
teacher is about to be enjoyed by
DR.. Thomas NJ. Catch, the venerable
president of Oregon Aricurtural COL
lege. A dispatch from Corvallis says
of DR.. Gatch's retirement:
A dispatch received this morning
nounces that DR.. Thomas NJ. Catch,
president of the Oregon agricultural
college, has been elected to receive,
at his option. the privilege of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Aid Of
Teaching. Provision is made for Dr.
Catch to receive a retiring allowance
of $1,000 year, payable monthly,
whenever the president may see fit
to retire.
His intention of retiring next June
from the presidency of the college
was made known to the regents at
the meeting of the board last July,
and at that time resolutions COM
mending him to the trustees Of the
foundation were passed by the board
and forwarded to New York. There
has been considerable correspondence
since, for the purpose of establish
ing DR.. Gatch's record as an edu-
Gator.
state and deneminatonal universi-
ties are not on the list of the foun-
dation, and persons from such insti-
tutions are not eligible to the fellow
ships and beneficences of the fund,
but on account of his extremely long
and eminent service a special ruling
was made in the present case and
DR.. Catch was admitted. From the
information at hand it appears that
DR.. Catch can, by retiring, take ad-
vantage of the allowance beginning
January /, or he may select any flu
ture time in which to do so.
DR.. Gatch's proposed retirement
from the presidency of the college
is of his own election. Though he is
still hale and hearty. and one of the
hardest workers in the faculty of the
institution, he wishes to be rid of the
intricate and onerous duties that
characterize the complex institution
of which he has been the head for
the past 10 years. Many members of
the board have urged him to remain
in the institution in a professorship,
but he has not signified any purpose
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-01-01

of doing so, even should a place be
officially rendered him.
His record as an educator will
cover a period Of 81 years when. the
coming spring is reached. 1t was in
the spring of 1856 in the mining dis
tricts Of California that he began,
and every year from that time to the
present he has been actively in the
harness. He was graduated from
the Ohio Wesleyan in 1855.
Whether or not DR.. Catch will
elect to begin participation in the
Carnegie allowance when he gives up
the presidency next June is not
known.

BISHOP WARREN SENDS
FOR GRAND VALLEY APPLIES

Last night Rev. Forsyth of the
Methodist church received a letter
from Bishop Henry w. Warren, who
conducted the big conference here In
September, asking Rev. Forsyth to
secure for him, II possible. two box
es af Grand valley apples and send
ther 10 him at his home in Denver.
The distinguished churchman states
In his letter that he longs to taste
some Grand valley apples, and does
not hesitate to say that the apples
to be secured in Denver markets are
not to be compared with the Grand
valley product.
This morning Rev. Forsyth Sc
cured two boxes of the very finest
apples he could secure and shipped
them out to Bishop Warren.
When Bishop Warren was here
during the conference he almost lived
on Grand valley apples. so fond did
he grow of them. He enthusiastical-
ly declared that the Grand valley
fruit was by far the finest he had
ever seen or tasted.

THE SALOON FIGHT NOW
GOES TO HIGHEST COURT
Bitter Struggle in Fort Collins Has
New Developments. Mayor
Clammcr Wants Authority
to Rcfiise to Sign.

Like Tennyson's $ brook, the fight
between the vets ani drys In Fort
Collins seems to be going on forev-
er. Another phase OF the contest
has raeched the state supreme court.
which Is asked to grant superse-
deas to prevent the district court in
Larimer county from compelling the
mayor of Fort Collins, Samuel Clam
mer, to sign an ordinance recently
passed by the Fort Collins city coun-
ell. allowing druggists to sell liquor.
Councilmen A. l.. Rohling, 7. L..
Moore. Chris Phillips. A. b. Conner.
II. Saladin and Robert Miller voted
for the ordinance. Mayor Clammer
claimed the right of veto and refused
to verify the measure. Councilman
Conner then applied to Judge Garri-
CUES for writ of mandamus to make
the mayor verify the ordinance so
that 1t could become operative.
on a hearing. the court entered
a judgment ordering the mayor to
verify. holding that mayors In sec
ond class cities did not have the right
of veto. The Fort Collins chief ex-
ecutive refused to comply with the
writ. thereby placing him in con-
tempt of court.
BY agreement, however. contempt
proceedings were waived SO that the
matter could be taken to the SUI
preme court on a petition for super
sedeas. This was done by Attorney
L. r. Rhodes of Fort Collins and Har-
vey Riddell of Denver for Mayor
