Market Letter.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov.
25.-Smaller cattle supplies after
Tuesday last week caused a re-
covery of IS to 25c in prices by
the close of the week. The run
is fairly good today, $4,000 head,
but the feeling is weak, account
of an over-supply at Chicago. An
extra large proportion of Colora
do and New Mexico cattle have
been included the last ten days.
and they have been selling fairly
satisfactory, in view of the gen
eral financial conditions. Stockers
and feeders took on more life the
middle of last week, with the ap-
pearance of a large number OF
buyers, and as the yards were
cleaned up close at the end of the
week, this class is selling strong
er today. Western beef steers
are selling at $3.75 to $4.I5, stock
ers and feeders $3.25 to $375,
heavy Colorado cows at $500 to
$500, Eastern Colorado, New
Mexico and Panhandle cows at
$2.2s to $500, Gamers around Sc,
top veals $3.50, heavy calves
$3.50 to $4.25, bulls $2.1o to $2.6o.
Packers are getting back toward
normal buying and conditions are
not as nervous as a week ago.
Range sheep and lambs are
growing shorter each week, and
the quality is not as good as it
has been, running more to tail
ends of herds. The market on
<illing kinds advanced 1oc to zoe
last week. Some range lambs
sold at $5.25 to $5.75 today, while
fed lambs reached $6.25, the mar
ket being considered steady on
supply of oooo head. Fed weth-
ers bring up to $4.8o, range weth-
Ers asad yeaslings A.as 70 $4zs,
fed yearlings $3.50, range ewes
$3.75 to $4.25, feeding lambs $4.oo
to $5.25, feeding sheep $3.25 to
$4.25. Receipts will likely run
small for few weeks, altho fed
stuff may be marketed earlier this
year than usual, feeders being
anxious to get out of the bad sit
uation which their high priced
purchases have put them.

The beets in this locality are
nearly all in the silo and Thanks
giving will see this important
crop safe from the hard freezes
which experience teaches us we
can expect soon.
Don't get it into your head
that you've nothing to be thank
full for. 1t is true that the crop
is short but we still have cause to
be thankful that the pay is not
short. We saw a party the other
day trying to stow his wad of
yellow swag in his jeans but as
his pockets were only regulation

home in his arms.
The festive coyote in this vi
cinity seems to be affected by the

bold to take OFF chickens from the

that if strenuous measures are
not adopted to exterminate this

board has refused the school
room to the Socialists Who have
been holding semi-monthly meet
ings there. The charges prefer
red were that some one expecto-
rated on the floor, also that
number of pencils were stolen,
which we learn is pure falsifca-
tion, no pencils having been miss
ed. We believe this board has
made a serious mistake in thus
discriminating against the tax
payers OF the district, as the relig-
ious, singing and literary socie-
ties are still permitted the use of
the building, and unless the
school laws have been revised
very recently we believe the
board placed itself in a very tick
lish position. The writer has had
considerable experience in antag-
onizing the Socialist movement
and our conclusions are that if let
alone the very impracticability of
the movement will be its destruc-
ton. Persecution in any form
only causes further development
Like pouring water on burning
oil it only causes the FIRE to
spread, and in this case they will
find that their efforts to crush So
cialism will only result in build
ing up the Local here, which we
are informed is a strong one with
over fifty members enrolled. Our
informant tells us that they have
secured hall at the Robson
ranch for their next meeting to
be held the evening of Dec. ?.
The reputation of the Robson
family for whole-souled hospital
iv is we'll known over eastern
Prowers county and will prove a
drawing card for both young and
old and in our opinion this school
board will find that instead of
crushing the movement they have
only made bad matter worse.

More of 1t Is on the way and preparations are being made to start the building of this new plant in the early fall. It would seem that it was impossible to expect construction to commence be- fore that time In the face of the amount of building already projected. That this will be a large building can be lm- aglned by looking at the immense ma chlnery now on the ground. The main fly whnel measures eighteen feet In di- ameter and 1t is going to take power fu engines to turn 1t and produce the amount of electricity 1t Is expected 10 furnish.

 The domestic water company Is ar ranging to put in an automatic pump, so there will not be possibility of the water tank becoming empty. It will be SO arranged that when the water in the tanks gets to a certain level float will start the pump to working and when the tanks are full again the float will throw off the current and the pump will stop. The large additional users of water have made this change neces- sary and 1t Is not the wish of the water company that the tanks should at any time be empty, thereby causing any to the users of the water.

On next Monday morning, Septem-
ber 16, the doors of Pendleton acad-
emy will open for the seventeenth
year, with brighter prospects and
greater facilities than have ever been
enjoyed before on an opening day.
Koontz hall, the girls dormitory, Is
filled to overflowing in advance,
with a prospect of a number of girls
yet to come from a distance. Work
on the boys dormitory is progressing
satisfactorily and it is hoped to havs
it completed by November l, the time
in the contract as the date of COM
pletion. 1t is certain that 1t will be
we'll filled soon after it is opened,
from the prospects now.
The girls dormitory will be in
charge of Miss Della E. Ingram, of
Dayton, WASH, who has been teach
er of domestic science at the Wash
ington state college at Pullman and
who is a competent teacher and ma
tron. She will be matron of the girls
dormitory and teacher of domestic
science in Pendleton academy.
The teaching force of the academy
is now complete and all the members
of the faculty will be here for the
opening next Monday. The faculty
will be composed of Principal W. H.
Rleakney, Prof. F. X. Noordhoff, Miss
Livia Ferrin. Miss Belle Wallace, Mrs.
w. H. Bleakney and Mrs. F. X.
Noordhoff, the latter of whom will
teach the grades. Miss Marjorie Ly-
man will again have charge of the mu-
sical department.
The young women who will enter
Koontz hall at the beginning of the
term are as follows: Alice Proctor
and Rena Masterson of Elgin; Chris
tina Vanderpool of Summerville;
Ethel Hull of Portland, Laura Holm,
Grace Hulse and Florence Lehigh,
of La Grande; May Severance OF
Hardman; Maud Bentley. Pendleton

the first floor of the big store, the
basement Is also to be prepared as a

When that addition has been made
the store will be well equipped to
handle its growing business, and 1t is
probable that the present force of
IA salespeople will have to be still
further increased in order to handle
the business.

PHYSICIANS RAISE PRICES.
Spokane Doctors to Charge More for
Their Services.

A correspondent at Spokane says
of the recent raise in the price OF
physicians services in that city:
The physicians Of Spokane propose
to advance the price for their SER
vices. Hereafter the rate for home
calls is to be $4 instead of s2.5O ana
So. Night calls are to be $6 instead
of IS and office rates may also be
advanced.
There will be no advance IN the
price of surgery. All such operations
are considered sufficiently remuner-
alive and the schedule will not be
changed.
The reason given for the advance
is the increased cost of living. For
over 20 years the physicians OF Spo-
kane have been operating under the
same rate schedule. Nineteen years
ago that schedule was printed and the
county physicians as a rule have ad.
hered to 1t all these years, whatever
the condition of the times might be-
Thursday night the county physi-
clans met in the regular meeting
place and the subject came up Tor
discussion. There was a warm and
protracted debate and the matter was
left till the next meeting Of the So
ciety for final passage.
The physicians of Spokane county
claim that the present schedule of
fees was printed in 1888, during the
hard times. Living was cheap then
and all work was cheap. Since that
time the cost of living has increased
greatly.

FRAUD IN LOCATING.
Against Men Arrested at The
DaIleS

The Dalles Chronicle says that
when Deputy Sheriff Hamlin arrived
in The Dalles this morning from Spo-
kane supposedly to get Coleman the
embezzler, he was in reality after two
men, Charles Coleman, on charge of
having obtained money under false
pretenses; or, as was suspicioned, To-
eating people on timber claims by
Misrepresentation.
When Coleman was arrested Thurs
day, his partner, Stephen Griffith,
was greatly excited and was evident
ly fearful of his fate. He and Cole
man both confessed that they had To-
Gated six people on claims Is miles
from Colville, in Stevens county, re-
ceiving for each location 5000; but
claimed they were all right. They
however, seemed little apprehen-
sive as to Crook county.
The plan adopted by many locaters
is to take applicants out, show them
over a fine piece of land purportine
it to be the land they are locating or
and when they come to file on 1t Il
may be discovered that their land II
many miles distant with, as in on'
case, three juniper trees on 1t.
This was the plan Peterson sale
Coleman and Griffith employed, bu
in this case he refused to be buncoet
and swore out warrant for their ar
| rest.
Griffith evidently intends to fac
the music If, indeed, he knew h
would be included in the arrest, as h
left last night for Spokane. Office
Hamlin will follow tonight with Cole
| man.
