Banker C|eWs Says Railroads Look.
ing for Capital

NEW YORK, May 22.-Operations
on the stock exchange have been of a
dull and insignificant character. Spec
ulation for the time being appears to
have been largely diverted to wheat
and cotton. A backward spring has
undOub+e eddy been the cause OF cOnsld-
cradle damage to the wheat crop, ana
acreage has been diminished. OF
course a few weeks of favorable
weather would quickly compensate for
much of the damage thus far reported,
and there is no doubt that much OF the
acreage already plOwed up will be
planted in corn or other crops. Never
theless for the time being facts are on
the side of the bulls in wheat, and the
speculative following, which is consid-
cradle, readily jumps into the first
favorable stream.
One of the most depressing influences
on the stock exchange is the continued
issue of new securities. Some of the
most reliable estimates indicate that
$1,000, OOO, 900 securities have been au-
thorized since January l, and of this
amount about $500, 100000 have been is
largely of short-term notes by rail-
roads. These demands for capital COM
ing upon an already over-taxed mar
ket account for much of the present
depression in Walla street. There is
plenty of money in the country; 1t is
capital that is scarce, the floating sup
ply of the latter having long ago been
practically exhausted and no time al
lowed for it's replenishment. AS it Is,
the railroads are practically Selling
all the available new capital that is Of
fered. Their wants are imperative in
order to enable them to meet the enor-
nous traffic forced upon them in all
parts of the country. OF course. these
OUTLAWS mean active employment for
labor, and the demand for structural
materials continues, promising to last
until railroad facilities have caught up
with demands. General business con-
tinues on an active scale.
There is an enormous demand for all
staple products at good prices-fhe

TO EMPLOY 4 RA|NMAkER
farmers Of Sherman County Plan
Ming New Experiment

PENDLETON, May 22.-W. T. Bishop
the well known commercial traveller OF
this city who has just returned from a
trip through Sherman county tells an
interest ing story of the preparations
being made there to try rain making
experiment this summer.
Fifteen hundred dollars have been
raised in the vicinity of Wasco, the
county seat of Sherman county, for
the purpose of bringing a Los Angeles
rainmaker to that place for the ex-
pertinent.
According to the contract entered
into between the people and the rain
makar, no money is to be paid over I'M
less the rainmaker causes six inches
of rain to fall within a radius of so
miles Of the location of his tower be-
tween May IS and July 25. 1907.
So far the people have not expend-
ed a cent of money. all the preparations
having been made at the expense of
the experimental and the agreement is
that no money will be paid until after
the rain is delivered
The rainmaker will erect a high
tower in the vicinity of WaScO from
which explosive chemicals will be sent
into the air on cloudy days and nights
ard exploded at a great elevation above
the earth.
The ranmaker has studied weather
statistics of that section and declares
That is a most favorable place for rain
making experiments and ne is sure of
delivering the goods within the time
specified.
While crops are in very good condi-
ton in Sherman county, yet the rain
is badly needed and the people are will
ing % risk the amount for the expert
menf Mr.. Bishop says that the
$500 for the experiment has been
practically all raised in Wasco and in
the immediate vicinity and that little
has been raised in the farming sec
tons which will be benefited most by
the experiment.
The people have great confidence in
the ability of the rainmaker, as he has

said could have had $4,000 for six

The housekeepers of the city are not
happy.
Fishing in the kitchen sink is an
amusement which will not be INDUCED

For some time past the housewives
of the city have been cutting down
dnade by some of the local meat deal
ers the reason of this was found out.
The reason why anglers have been
meeting with such poor luck on their
Sunday expeditions up Mill creek has
also been made plain.
While this story may seem exag-
gerated it is vouched for by well
known citizens. Councilman Glasford
is one of the men who knows about it.
1t is said that the venerable council
man went into his kitchen the other
night after council meeting to get a
drink When he turned the faucet a
large bull trout as long as his arm
wriggled out, SO the story goes, and
the veteran sage of the city rubbed his
eyes and felt for his head. He knew
he hadn't taken enough of the fiery
brain disturber to "see" snakes or fish
either, yet there was a specimen which
would have delighted the heart of Sir
Isaac of old. complacently Topping

result of this dual investigation the

getting accustomed to make visit to

Senator Plots Good Work.

In the French senate there is a man
who already forced the general gov
eminent to begin handing good money
to families Of five children This is
Senator Edme Plot, highly remarka-
BILE personality.
Son OF a Burgundiai family so poor
that he was kept from school to work
highways and worked over all France
as a navy, but as early as 1854 he
was taking small contracts on his own
account; and he finally became the
greatest OF all French railway con-
tractors
Becoming very rich, Senator Plot
has made himself famous throughout
all Burgundy by special kind of
liberality-the financial helping OF
poor parents.
Actually, he is the great authority
on depopulation; president of the
senate committee relative to subsidies
which the law already permits to be
granted TO communcs for distribution
TO families of five and more, and au-
thor and untirns pusher of bill for
