SEWING MACHINES IN TASMANIA
Successful Selling Methods of an
American Company.

Consul Henry d. Baker of Hobart,
has been impressed with the success
full exploitation of American sewing
machines in that Australian island,
concerning which he writes:
The Hobart agency Of one Ameri-
can company has been selling an
average of 80 sewing machines a
week. 1t has II travelling men who
visit the smaller towns of Tasmania
and explain directly to possible buy
ers all the particular advantages of
this American machine. These trav-
cling men are natives of Tasmania
who have been carefully selected and
trained. The results are satisfactory
and in the future are likely to be still
more so, as the new Australian tariff
act takes off the 10 per cent duty on
sewing machines. The canvassers are
not permitted to handle any other ar
ticle, in marked contrast to the pol
icy pursued by most American manu-
facturers in seeking to sell goods in
Australia, through general agents at
Melbourne and Sylney who are agents
for many other articles, some of
which compete with those OF their
own manufacture.

OF the fact that they Will be COM
PEELED 10 pay as much for wheat as
the Pendleton mills and outside buy
ers. while the methods OF cleaning
the smut they are compelled to use
are more expensive than those in use
by the Pendleton mills.
The Pendleton plants have their
own water and can use the water
cleaning method at little expense,
while the Athena mills are compelled
TO rub the smut off. and in this man
ner much Of the grain is cracked
and lost so far as flour is concerned.
Samples Received in Pendleton.
The following is from the Portland
Oregonian:
Portland grain dealers confirm the
reports from Umatilla OF the smutty
character OF the new wheat crop, but
they are OF the opinion that the condi-
ton is not as bad as the dealers OF
Pendleton have figured It out to be.
While none OF them cared to make
close estimate OF the amount OF
damage, they all agreed that the per-
centage placed by the Pendleton
grain men was exaggerated.
A number OF samples Of new wheat
have been received here from Umatil-
la county and they are all more or less
affected.

forts of Soldiers.

About As members of company l.
under the leadership OF Captain
Smythe, will leave Sunday night for
American Lake, near Tacoma, where
they will enjoy their annual summer
encampment and jointly participate
In military maneuvers with the regu-
lar army.
Every member of the company who
is able to do so, will make the trip
and interest in the coming event,
which will be the most elaborate
ever participated in by the Pendleton
boys, Is keen.
Several battalions Of regulars have
been at the lake for some time and
everything will be in readiness for the
state guards Of the northwest, when
they arrive, August 8.
Place Of Recreation for Soldiers.
During the encampment at Ameri'
can, Lake, Washington, the Young
Mems Christian association Of oregon.
Washington and Idaho will conduct
two large tents which will be for the
use Of the enlisted men and officers
of the regular army and national
guards. One tent will be used foi
correspondence, reading room and
recreation. The other will be for en-
tertanments and meetings in the eve.
ming. Free stationary will be furn-
ished by the association, bearing the
camp letter-heads, and postago
stamps and postal cards will be on
sale.
The tents will be equipped with
monographs, pianos, etc, and will be
open to the use, of all. Entertain
ments will be arranged for in the
evenings, using local talent from the
regiments and several addresses Will
be given by leading men from the
cities of the northwest.
The same features were conducted
two years ago and proved very popu-
lar among the men. The tents were
we'll filled during the evenings and
other times, when the men were not
on duty.
The general orders this year are
very strict as to men leaving the
camp, SO the association tents will
provide a good place for leisure
hours. A cordial invitation is extend
ed to all enlisted men and officers to
make use Of the features provided.

INFANTS BODY FOUND.
Child Had Been Dead About "a Hours
and WeIghed About Ten Pounds.

While fishing at the north end of
the Howard street bridge yesterday
evening Frank and Charley Thomas Of
518 Cataldo street, discovered a small
bundle containing a baby, says the
Spokesman Review. They did not
take 1t from the shallow water, but
reported to the police station and De-
tectice Pearson investigated. He
found the infant wrapped in rags,
within the Sunday issue Of the
Spokesman Review. Deputy Sheriff
Hamlin drove along the street in a
buggy jus tthen, and Pearson placed
the baby in his buggy and they took
f. to Smith & Co.'S parlors.
Dr. Pope of the coroner's office,
after examination, stated that he
thought the infant had been dead
about "a hours. The child Is perfect
ly formed and no marks Of violence
were found on the body. The child
weighed 10 pounds. An effort Is be-
ing made to locate the mother.

Section Force Reduced.

The section force throughout prac-
tically all OF the o. R. & ~ system
has been reduced to the foreman and
one man. The reduction has been
made quietly and in a way that has
hardly been noticed, but the number
Of employees has grown less just the
same. AS the section working force
has been made up almost exclusively
OF japanese and Greeks, no one has
taken any interest in the matter or
cared particularly whether there was
one man or ten left to do the section
work.-La Grande Star.

CRITICIZE REPORT
WHEAT MEN SAY SMUT
ESTIMATES EXAGGERATED
While Admitting Unusual Prevalence
of Black Fungus, They Declare
Loss Is Insignificant William
Sutherland Says He Has Bought
Only No. All Samples Received
at Athena Mill Affected.

There is resentment among local
wheat men and business men over ex-
aggerated reports sent out concerning
the damage from smut this year.
Though smut is unusually prevalent,
II does not mean the ruin OF the
crop. On the other hand, most OF
that sold thus far has been No.
wheat and has brought as high as
n cents per bushel. In view OF this
fact, there is little worry over smut.
While in Portland yesterday Monte
B. Gwinn OF the Pendleton Savings
bank tayked with leading grain bro
kers regarding the situation. To the
Pendleton banker the wheat broker
discounted the Oregonian's story Of
the loss in Umatilla county, saying
that the samples received from here
thus far do not bear ou tthe pub
thus far do not bear out the pub
The appearance OF smut is not un-
common, according to local wheat
men. Much of the wheat is always
affected with smut to a certain ex-
tent, but this does not necessarily
mean it will not pass as No. wheat.
Apparently most Of the wheat sold
thus far has been No. l wheat, though
many sales were made on a basis OF
No. !, leaving the wheat TO be graded
later. According to william Suther-
land OF the Balfour-Guthrie COM
pany he has bought nothing but No.
/ wheat so far this season
Every Sample Affected.
Head Miller Myers Of the Preston
Parton Milling company's plant at
Athena, who was in Pendleton yes
terday on business, when asked as
TO the prevalence Of smut in the
wheat in the vicinity OF that place,
said that Of 100 samples received at
their mill, 100 had been affected
more or less with smut. Myers de-
clared that the Athena company will
suffer big loss this year by reason

NORWEGIAN sARDINE TRADE.
Combination Caused by the Low
Prices and Competition.

Prices and Competition.
Consul Felix S. S. johnson, OF Ber-
gen, reports that a meeting of the
Norwegian sardine packers was re-
Gently held at Stavenger to regulate
prices out put and the number of es-
adjustments, with the following re-
suits:
1t was agreed that no fish should
be packed during the months of Feb
ruary March and April. a violation
of which should be paid by a fine
OF 5000 crowns (crown equals 26S
cents); that uniform price should
be maintained for the purchase OF
fish and that the present manufac-
factories in any other place or
places, Stavanger, the first place in
Norway where sardines were packed,
today has fifteen establishments.
Some years ago a factory was estab-
lished at Bergen, and now the city
has five; several factories were also
put in at Haugesund.
During the past season complaint
has been general of overproduction,
low prices, excessive number OF fac
tories which, with the financial crisis
in the United States, has made profits
small and has obliged packers to form
a union or trust for their future well
fare.
While during the past year the ex-
port of sardines from France to the
United States has decreased, the ex-
port of this article from Norway has
increased from few thousand dollars
some 10 years ago TO $685. 900 in 1907
and it is a matter of only a few years
until the Norwegian output will equal
that OF any other European country.
Large quantities of Norwegian sar-
dimes have been sent to France.
Experiments are shortly to be made
at Bergen of putting up sardines as
they are packed at Bordeaux instead
OF smoked. Whether this venture will
be a success or not is to be determin-
ed.

Highway robbery is pretty strong lam
guase" said Mike Murphy after the race,
but there are no other words for It, L have
been up against the English officials for years
. and 1t mas always been the story-they
would have robbed us of everything II they
could. The race perfectly fair one.
Carpenter had the right of way. and Hals-
welle should have come behind him. Both Car
penter and Robbins had the Englishnan beaten
from the crack of the pistol and the English
officials could not bear to their own man
beaten in a race which they had counted on
winning. 1t is all nonsense to talk about foul
ing.
There is satisfaction to me. however II
shows what the boasted 'fairest sportsmen' In
the world will do to win. 1 would rather have
seen this happen than win fifty races. 1t proves
what I always have said. that these English
officials will do anything TO prevent an Ameri-
can anybody else besides their own people
from winning race. You bet they won't run
it over. and If I had my way every American
athlete at the Stadium would leave here right
away, and never return, either TO this arena or
10 England"
Inc 1OlloWlnS is the ol1clal account OF tne
incident
It was distinctly understood by the runners
before they went to their marks that in the
event cs any boring" the race was to be re-
run half an hour later. The draw for positions
resulted in Carpenter getting the inside posi-
tion. Then came Halswelle. Taylor and Rob
bins the outside
Carpenter dashed off in the lead at a great
pace. with Robbins second. Halswelle third and
Taylor fourth. To the middle of the bend the
raOSiriOrs u-e her, HsI Ia e1r
UP, according TO the umpire stationed at the
spot, and led for, as near as could be Judged
half second. Carpenter then ran wide el l.
bowling Halswelle on to the outer side of the
track. Then Robbins crossed to the inside.
A signal was given by the umpire when Halls
welle was fouled. and all the men. with the ex-
ception Of Carpenter. who ran right out. part
~ pulled UP. as the worsted having been
broken, there could be no race. Taylor ran per-
fectly fairly throughout
The Judges themselves inspected the foot
marks. which showed with perfect clearness
that what had happened unquestionably
such IS TO bear out the umpfre's signal and
prove that foul had been committed.
Carpenter. a bright and quiet young Aneri-
can. who does not look though he could do
the trick and who his team mates say would be
the last one to resort TO fouling to win medals,
thus described the race:
