DELAY BIDS
ON GRAIN BAGS
FARMERS DECIDE TO POSTPONE
MATTER UNTIL
FEB. 4.

Owing to 2 misunderstanding on the
part OF members of the Farmers CO.
operative and Educational association,
which has been in session in Odd Eel
lows temple today, as well as on the
part of. dealers who were to have sub
mitted bids for grain bags. the matter
was unanimously deferred until the
next county meeting to be held two
weeks from today
At that time the definite number of
sacks required by farmers, will be
submitted to the bidders, and they I'm
turn will submit their bids on the
whole or such part of the whole num-
Der as they may be in a position to
contract for.
In the neighborhopd Of 800 farmers
from all parts of the county have been
in attendance. at the convention today
This mornings session was taken up
with a private business session, but
the afternoons business transactions
were open to the public. A banquet
was served at noon in the banquet hall.
mdHy HlefilDefS VI TIE iSSUcidtiOIt
were anxious and willing to sign a
contract for sacks today and a num-
her of prospective bidders were ready
to submit their bids But as the ma
jorty of members of the association
were unprepared to say how many
sacks they would need. and owing
the fact the grain men would not bid
on grain bags without a statement as
to the exact number required, it was
finally agreed to postpone any action
until a week from next Saturday.
Meanwhile the entire membership Of
the association will be canvassed, as
we'll as other farmers of the county,
AID everything will be placed i'm such
shape that the business regarding the
acceptance of bids can be closed up
within a short time.
II is probable that farmers of other
counties, where there are no aSsocia-
tons. will combine with farmers of
this county. as the statement was
made by bidders this afternoon that
the larger number of sacks required.
the lower would be the price.

AGED COLORED
man IS MISSING
POLICE SEARCH FOR OLD TRAIN
Err WHO HAS DISAPPEARED
FROM CRY.

John III. King, we'll known colored
man. who has lived in Walla Walla for
the past % or 80 years. and who has
made his living mostly by training
horses and backing boots, has been
reported missing to the police, and a
search in a quiet way is being made
in an endeavor to locate him.
For the past week Kin s humble
cottage ON Fourth street has been I'M
occupied, and an inspection of the
premises yesterday revealed the fact
that things were in the same condi-
ton in the house as when the owner
had his habitation there.
Owing to the fact that King fire.
quently made extended stays in the
country for the purpose OF taking care
of horses in need of training, the po-
lice scout the theory that any mrs
fortune has befalien him. and take but
little stock in the superstition that he
has met with foul play Or taken steps
for his own destruction. In the early
days King was in charge of the string
Of horses of Judge Glasfcrd. and also
trained other Walla Walla animals for
the track. He is known to almost
everyone who has lived here for any
length of time, as one of the best
trainers ever working in this city. OF
recent years King has eked out an ex-
istence by backing shoes and doing
odd jobs around town. He formerly
had -blacking stand in front of
the Enterprise saloon, but poor BUSH
ness finally made this losing ven-
ture. and the dusky trainer turned his
energies in other directions.
AS far as is known. King has no
relatives living in this part Of the
country. He has hosts of friends, how
ever, especially among the early resi-
dents, who, if his absence continues
without explanation will take steps
to institute a thorough search as to
his whereabouts. The police are work
ing on the case, but as the general
belief is that King has secured en-
rloyment in the country, no definite
steps will be taken for few days.
Investigation by the police this
morning revealed the fact that King
has been absent from the city for two
weeks, and thinking that perhaps the
old man had fallen into Mill creek
while the water was at high stage
about Christmas time, search along
the banks of the stream as far down
IS Sixth street bridge, was made.
'Fatty' Davis, who had been living
in an adjoining building, reported to
the police that the last he saw of
King was a week ago last Sunday.
King, it will be remembered is the
man VINO had the narrow escape from
fire in 1906 when the Enterprise lodg-
ing house was burned. He was Grip
Piled, and was forced to use a cane,
Whici. rendered him somewhat help
less when in a sudden emergency. The
fat that the cane is not in Kings
room although much of bis clothing
is, leads friends of the missing man
to believe that he has accepted a po-e
sition in the country.
After a search lasting all day, the
police late this afternoon discovered
that King was taken TO the poor farm
