So CENTS WOULD
Be ABOUT RIGHT
ONE WAREHoUSEMAN THINKS
CENTS TOO HIGH CHARGE.
Fifty Cents, However, Was Not
Enough-Most OF the Wheat
Roundabout Athena Is Being Held
for Better Prices-Between $4,000
and 100000 Sacks Tributary to the
Adams Market.

Athena, Aug. l9.-Regarding the
advance made this season in the stor-
age of wheat by the warehouse COM
panies, David Taylor, the veteran
warehouseman, who refused to join
the other warehousemen in the ad-
vance is quoted as having said:
''As matter OF fact, / think the
charge of rs cents per ton for storage
is too high, and the old rate, of so
cents is too low. The charge should
be so cents per ton, which should pay
all warehouse charges, until the first
of July next, and If not sold by that
time another so cents should be paid
He claims there is no money in the
business at so cents per ton.
Considerable grain is being hauled
to the different warehouses through
out the wheat belt at this time. Some
is being sold. but most of 1t is being
held for better prices.
The latest sale made about here
was at Adams, 210 tons having been
sold to local grain companies and
consigned to Albna for export, having
been shipped from Adams up to this
time, and 10000 sacks belonging to
George Peringer are being shipped
out.
1t is estimated that the wheat trib-
utary to Adams will reach between
95. 600 and 100000 sacks.
At Helix very little has been sold.
Much is being hauled to the ware
houses at this time.

ARKANSAS COAL NORTHWEST.
Heavy Orders Placed Along o. r. 8
n. and Short Line.

Ten carloads, or 400 tons, of an
thracite coal, have been ordered from
L. j. Martin of Russellville, Ark, by
julius Rosenberg. secretary of the
Pocatello Commercial club, says the
Pocatello Tribune. This shipment is
expected to prove potent factor in
guarding against a threatened coal
famine in this city this winter. 1t
will be retailed to consumers in
Pooatello at the rate of s14 per ton,
and if it gives satisfaction, heavier
orders will be placed with the Ar
kansas mines.
Mr. Martin, who is one of the own
ers of a hard coal mine at Russelville,
near Little Rock, arrived in Pocatel-
10 this morning from a tour of the
principal towns along the o. r. & n.
and Oregon Short Line. He placed
orders in La Grande for two train
loads, in Baker. City for heavy tom
mage, and in Boise for an immense
trial shipment of hard coal. He en-
deavored all along the line to interest
commercial clubs and boards of trade
in his proposition to furnish anthra-
cite coal to relieve what threatens to
become serious famine this winter,
and was eminently successful. His
idea in placing his coal in the hands
of commercial club representatives is
to insure equitable deliveries, although
he will also offer to sell practically
unlimited quantities to dealers.
Mr.. Martin says that when he left
Russelville four weeks ago, his COM
pany had $4,000 tons in the sheds and
he thought that by this time there
should be 10000 tons. He says there
is no slack in the coal, and is author
ity for the statement that one ton of
Arkansas hard coal is equal to two
tons of Wyoming bituminous. The
company represented by Mr.. Martin
has an excellent rating and is appar-
emily able to back up every promise it
makes.
Mr. Martin will go to Blackfoot,
Idaho Falls, Rexburg and st. An
thony to place orders there.

ADVENTIST IDAHO COLLEGE.
Cambridge and Other Towns After
the Location,

The Adventists have decided to es-
tablish an Industrial school some
where In the Idaho conference, says
the Cambridge News. In conversa-
tion with Rev. Willoughby we learn
that it will be about three weeks be-
fore the locating committee decides
on a location for this school. This
school will represent an expenditure
OF about 5000 and will teach from
the eighth to the twelfth grades, in
cluding a business and commercial
course. OF course, we understand that
an industrial school enables students
to work their way through school and
gives them a practical knowledge of
agriculture, and eventually many OF
the trades Millinery, dressmaking,
housekeeping, etc, will be taught the
girls.
The school will require 40 acres OF
land and location within a few miles

PREDICTS A HARD WINTER.
John Catlin's Interpretation of the
Language of Nature.

All Indian signs extant indicate a
remarkably hard winter this year,
according to John Catlin of Albany,
who was raised in an Indian camp
and was a government scout for
years
The remarkably large crop of
hazlenuts this year and the speed
with which the squirrels are storing
them is one omen. The unusually
heavy crop of all kinds of wild ber-
ries is another. Still another sure
Indian sign is the fact that the musk
rats have already plucked all pond
lilies and have stored them away.
Catlin claims that the muskrats
when a hard winter is forshadowed
pick the lilies and hide them away
until they go to seed and then use
the seeds for food.
Other strange Indian legends have
convinced the old scout that the
present summer will be succeeded by
very cold winter

was well qualified to be the Cayuse
chief. He was not an educated In

of much judgment and sagacity. He
did not drink and never squandered
the money which he received from

NICOLAI HAS RETURNED.
Mysterious Disappearance Has Been
Solved.

The Yakima Republic has to say as
follows about the unusual appearance
of a man whose disappearance June
29 last created great excitement:
H. E. Nicolai, the Sunnyside man
who disappeared under mysterious
circumstances from his home on June
20, is today with his family on the
farm near the metropolis of the low
er country. He reached there appar-
emily sound of mind, but he was in
a poor condition physically He was
much worn, and appears to have gone
/ through spell of sickness. His con-
dition was such that his son-in-law,
who accompanied him from Seattle.
| told a crowd that gathered at the
/ Federated church at II O'Clock, that
! he would be unable to appear there
I and tell his story
Mind a Blank for Seven DAYS,
According to Nicolai's story. his
/ mind was a blank when he left sun
nyside on the night of June 90.
According to S. ]. Harrison, who
came with Nicolai from Mabton to
Sunnyside this morning, the man tells
a remarkable story He declares that

to go to his home he remembers moth
ing until on July Z. on that day he
awoke in the woods near Seattle. A
little later he found himself in the
Northern Pacific station at Seattle. He.
heard policeman say a reward of
500 had been offered for H. E, Nj
colai. At once his mind became
clear. That is the first impression he
had, the first thing he knew, after
leaving Huston. He came to himself.
understood that he was Nicolai. and
that the officers were looking for
him.
Feared He Had Committed Crime.
He did not know why they wanted
him. He thought the matter over.
and concluded that while he was out
of his mind he must have committed
crime of some kind. He was afraid
that he had killed a member of his
own family. He went to barber
shop and had his beard shaved off.
and then walked out of the city. At
Boutwell,, suburb of Seattle, he OBJ
tanned employment from farmer
named Ed Wright. He gave the name
OF Smith.
After thinking over the matter for
esveral days he wrote two letters, one
to his son-in-law, who lives In Michi-
gan and one of w. II. Cline of sun
nyside. Mr.. Cline has been out of
town for several days and did not re-
ceive the letter addressed to him. The
Michigan man got his letter. however.

Associated Press Embarrassed.

Salt Lake, Aug. 19.-The situation
here with reference to the Associat-
ed Press Is not nearly so good as It
was last night. They have several
dispatches from Chicago but they are
running slow and 1t appears that
there is wire trouble, whether from
natural causes or not is a matter of
conjecture. Something like 1900
words have been received here.
Local strikers claim that there is
evidence of weakening on the part
OF the Western Union and that they
have agreed to sign an agreement
for eight hours.
They also claim that some of the
brokers in the east hive agreed to
sign. It was noticeable, however,
that there was not word received
from anl Of those mentioned. It is
claimed that one of these firms pays
$4,000 a month for leased wire.

Project.

Cancellation of the Columbia
Southern Irrigating Co.'S contract
with the state to irrigate 10000 acres
of arid land in the western part of
Crook county, upon which 1t practi-
cally abandoned work over year
ago. VII in all probability result up
on the return of United States Dis
trict Attorney Bristol and Inspector
7. B. Neuhausen, who at present are
investigating the company's project
says the oregon Daily Journal.
It Is stated there is little doubt
that the complaint formulated by the
settlers against the company several
months ago will be filed within a few
days and the company's contract an
nulled, in which event the compile
ton of the work will be undertaken
by the state or placed in the hands
of new company.
Presented Grievances.
Trouble over the irrigation enter
prise sprang up before the visit of
Governor Chamberlain and the state
land board to Crook county last year
and came to a head Immediately up
on the state officials arrival. The
settlers at that time presented their
grievances, which covered n multi
tude of Misrepresentation by the
company, and received assurances
from the board that their rights
would be protected.
During the past year no agreement
has been reached between the state
officials and the company and the
reclamation work in consequence has
been at standstill. Last evening tho
settlers, incensed at the continued
delay, which was causing them con-
siderable financial loss, prepared a
complaint against the company which

Employees Try Again TO

AmicabIy

Partly as the result of advice from
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers, but more on account of the feel
ing of the public, the grievance COM
mittee representing the trainmen and
fremen Of the Pennsylvania railroad,
whose request for an advance in wages
was denied by w. w. Atterbury, gem
eral manager of the railroad, on Mon
day, decided yesterday to defer laying
the matter before the respective or
ganizations for action and to make an
other attempt to adjust the differences
amicably
At a meeting yesterday the delegates
concluded that on account Of the irri-
tation caused by the congestion Of
freight all over the country the public
would not tolerate a strike at this time
and that the men could look for no
sympathy Il they went out
Soon after the delegates went into
session representatives of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers arrived
in Philadelphia and requested the men
not to think OF a. strike, as the engi-
neers would not be favorable TO fsuch
action at this time. The engineers are
still anxious to get a reduction in work
ing hours, and the representatives ask
ed that the trainmen and hremen re-
frain from any serious action until this
question has been threshed out.
Then the grievance committee sent a
communication TO Broad Street Station
requesting another conference. This
was granted, and General Manager At
terbury met the men in the assembly
room Of the Pennsylvania Railroad An
mex. Fifteenth and Filbert streets. The
conference began at II O'Clock and
with the exception OF an hour for
luncheon, lasted until late i'm the af-
ternoon. At its close the situation, it
is understood, was practically unchang-
ed. Representatives Of the engineers
attended the conference. Another
meeting was held to-day.

What viii Be Back Of Bonds and Stock

A mortgage on any property for forty

attempted Tyre could not be located,
and he was returned as mon est"
AS the result Of not being able TO To-
cate the defendant argument on the
capias was suspended yesterday after
noon and Mr.. Ball attempted to con-
vince the court that the case against
his client was not properly upon the
present docket. He contended that the
case was not continued by form of mo-
ton to that effect made by either the
attorney for the prosecution or the at
torney for the defense, but that If it
was continued at all it was simply by a
general motion to continue all cases not
disposed Of. lis he did not believe
applied TO criminal cases, as it would
be an unusual procedure. He also held
that nothing had been done in the mat
ter of renewal of bail bond.
In reply Mr. Richards stated that the
whole subject developed into q question
as to whether the court had jurisdiction
over this case. He claimed that on tho
last day Of the November term OF court
Walter II. Hayes made a motion that
an cases pending and not disposed Of
be carried over until the following term.
MS liolAou was dlloWeu DN lue court
upon rising and was undoubtedly meant
to cover all cases not disposed of.
The court coincided with the
stand taken by the Attorney
General and directed that the
Tyre case be set for trial on February
is. Mr.. Richards moved that the
forthwith capias be renewed for Tyre in
order to determine whether a new bond
is necessary.
True bills were returned against the
following:
Assault and battery-John McCol-
Tough and Edward Chippey

H. Dunbar.

Yesterday the trial list was gone. over

were marked and twelve cases were

continued. while others were passed
through the absence Of attorneys in the
case.
