WHEAT GROWERS TO LIST AND POOL
THEIR CROPS

tion we are going to invite outside
buyers to come in and bid upon the
wheat. Already we have received
inquiries from a number of outside
men and apparently they will come
into the market here"
According to Mr.. Barrett a similar
arrangement will be made at Athena
for the purpose of selling the wheat
of that section. Samples may be left
at Mr.. Barrett's store at Athena.
Mr.. Barrett, who came down from
Athena today, says that in his sec
ton the stationary threshers are pre-
pairing to resume work this afternoon.
However, the combines will not start
up again until Monday.
It is estimated by Mr.. Barrett that
the loss per acre from the rain in
his section will be between two and
five bushels. Much OF the wheat was
heavy and the rain caused the heeads
to fall until they will be missed by the
headers when threshing is resumed.

dent Small had suspended the con-
stitution of the local union as a pre-

That a receiver be appointed to

Evans In a suit filed in the circuit

THAT during the existence of said

Rushing I'm Strike Breakers.

Chicago, Aug. 1O.-A feature of the
local telegraphers' strike situation
was thearrival today of 65 nom
union operators from New York to
do scab duty They were hurried
from the depot to the Western Union
building under a heavy guard. Aside
from Kisses and catcalls, no demon
,stration marked their march to the
company's office. Telegraph officials
say 25 more strike breakers will ar
rive from st. Louis today.
In a statement made today Cen
eral Superintendent Cook of the
Western Union declared 100 operators
are at work. Union leaders deny
this, declaring that before the strike
breakers arrived there were not more
than 20 operators working for the
Western Union.
Postal officials also claim they are
making good headway, but represen-
tatives of the United Press could
find only II, who are trying to do
the work of SS5 operators.
The offices of both companies are
badly swamped They are resorting
to long distance telephone, but with
little success.

Many Exhibits Coming.

Already the towns of this county
and of Morrow are making prepara-
tions TO have exhibits at the fair and
unless all Indications are wrong every
town in the district will have credita-
Die displays. Much is hoped for from
the Milton-Freewater section and al
so from Echo and Hermiston. That
Morrow county will also come to the
center" in good style is believed.
Last year much interest was shown by
the people of the neighboring county,
and the herd of Shorthorns brought
over by w. o. Minor was one of the
best exhibits of the fair.
This year it is hoped that Morrow
county will have even larger repre-
sentations and that the county will
vote the sum of $500 to help defray
the expenses of the occasion.

Wheatraisers' association, has been

here announced the plan OF the asso-
citation for this season regarding
wheat sales. Unlike last year, no
definite dates have so far been set

together with the amount Of their
yields with 8. II. Forshaw at his
seed store, 222 Court street. The
samples may then be inspected at

Mulcted SO Each for Violating Con-
tract With Operators.

Linton, Ind, Aug. 10.-Three dol
lars was deducted from the pay check
today of each Of the 300 miners Of
the Summit Coal company, making a
total fine Of SO for each man who
took part in a recent strike contrary
to the provision in the contract with
the state miners organization. The
strike lasted eight days and each mi
ner was assessed 81 a day, or a total
Of $4,000, which goes into the Golfers
Of the coal company.
This Is the first time the contract
was ever enforced against striking
miners.
The Summit mine was closed when
the men demanded the discharge Of
the mine boss and the company re-
fused to comply, all the miners walk
ing out. The agreement between the
miners and operators provides for a
forfeiture in the way OF fine for the
parties who stop the mine In case Of
labor trouble without first submitting
the grievance to the regular board Of
arbitration. The miners failed to OBJ
serve this part Of the agreement and
tho coal company insisted on the 81

Last evening the county court
voted the sum of $1,000 for the Third
Eastern Oregon District fair to be
held here in September, and the ap-
preparation will materially assist In
making the fair the success that Is
hoped for 1t.

ing worked out in detail, and upon
the return Of Messrs. Cohen and
Teutsch from. the east the wheels will
be started at full speed.
In speaking this morning OF the
plans for the coming fair Secretary
Fitz Gerald said:
This year no charges will be made
for exhibit space used by the towns
of the county, or for any of the
school exhibits. Last year such space
was charged for as we'll as that used
by advertising booths. This year bus
iness firms or individuals using space
will be charged, but towns and schools
will be given space free.
1.-THE dancing platform now in the
pavilion will be left there and will
be used for exhibit purposes, and
as a result they can be viewed to
better advantage than last fall.
"An additional so feet has been
secured on the south side of the fair
grounds, and another building will
be erected there the entire length of
the pavilion. This will give much
more space for the fair and it will be
used for the agricultural and stock
exhibits.
I'm the center of the pavilion a
palm garden will be arranged, and
when all is in readiness the fair
grounds will present a splendid ap-
pearance."

pearing, light complexioned little man
with a shambling gait, was taken
aboard the westbound train guarded
by the sheriff of wasco county and
a deputy. The prisoner was Ed Cos
son. accused murderer of Ernest
Bonomi, and over whom the shadow
Of the gailows now hangs like a pail.
He is being taken back to The Dalles
to face charges from which the off,
GERS says he cannot possibly get
away.
Sheriff Chrisman and Deputy Wood
arrived from The Dalles this morn
ing to get their man from the coun-
ty jail where he was placed yesterday
by Sheriff Taylor. who arrested him
upon the street here.
About 8 o'clock this morning Cos
son was taken into the private office
OF the sheriff and there sharply
questioned by the officers. When
arrested he was not notified Of the
case against him, but inside the Jail
he learned from the prisoners that
he was suspected of Bonomi's mur-
der and that he had been charged
with the crime.
Following the examination this
morning Deputy Wood stated that
Gosson had maintained his innocence,
but at the same time had made ad-
missions that made the case against
him almost sure one
Before coming here The Dalles Of
ficers had secured testimony from
Mrs. Bonomi and from the mother of
Gosson that gravely implicate him.
The story of Mrs. Bonomi is that Cos
son was the slayer of her husband.
though 1t is now said that the wo-
man herself was in nowist implicated
In the plot. According to a state
ment made Sheriff Chrisman by the
mother of the prisoner she had writ
ten him but few weeks ago tell
ing him that Bonomi had threatened
her life and had also threatened to
kill him. Gosson. According to The
Dalles officers, Bonomi was not a
man who would likely attempt to
kill anyone. but they have absolute
evidence that the mother wrote such
a letter to her son. and 1t is the the
ory that Gosson then went to The
Dalles and did away with Bonomi,
whim he believed had threatened his
life. Gosson had worked for Bonomi
last winter and there was an old
standing quarrel between the two
which, according to Deputy Wood,
arose over ranch disputes between
the two men. Gosson declares he has
no infatuation for the murdered
mans wife.
Praise for Sheriff.
The prompt arrest of Gosson by
Sheriff Taylor came as a blessing to
The Dalles authorities. who were
making every effort to find him and
they are free in expressing their
gratitude to the local sheriffs office.
"The Umatilla county sheriffs Of

in the state" declared Deputy Wood
