WHEAT SELLING
At Il CENTS
HIGHEST PRICE SINCE
EARLY IN SEASON.
Several large Holdings Disposed of
Yesterday at Good Figure-Fcw
Farmers Are Still Holding for so
Cents After Refusing That Price
Early In the season.

Wheat in Pendleton yesterday
reached II cents, the highest price
quoted since early in the season, and
as result several crops were dispos-
ed of by Umatilla county growers,
n: that price.
Although the first quotation receiv-
ed by local buyers were at a consid-
eIable less price the grain advanced
during the day and when II was
reached the offer was accepted by
several farmers who disposed of
whole or parts of crops. According
to the buyers, however. there are
still growers who are awaiting re-
turn of so cents, a price which was
offered early in the season, The
price of II was paid for wheat of first
class quality yesterday, and it is said
that considerable of the grain unsold
in the county as yet will scarcely
come up to the standard which
brought that price.
Early in the present season so cents
was offered by the buyers, and a big
portion of the crop went at that
that price. Later wheat dropped,
and most of the farmers held for a
return which they were confident
would follow long before the present
time. In this they were disappoint-
ed and during the last few weeks a
big portion of what was held has
been disposed of at better than 75
cents.

In startling and Rapid Succession

What l have ! Sm gong to leave
the kids to fight. over. Won't they
have a hell of a time ?'-The proph-
ecy of ]. w. Young.
When Judge Bean in the circuit
court yesterday signed the decree by
which was dismissed the suit of Ma
bic c. Warner against the heirs of j
w. Young, he wrote the beginning OF
the end Of the most sensational cases
in the history Of the courts of Uma-
tilla county.
For the past two years suit and
counter suit have followed each other
in rapid succession In the Warner
case" as the suits were generally
called. Mable Warner sought to Sc
cure the bulk of her uncle's fortune
upon an alleged contract which
formed the base OF the suit dismissed
yesterday, and into sight were brought
two wills. both of which were declar-
ed forgeries and upon the alleged ut
tering OF one of which she was prose-
cuted for forgery.
Did j. w. Young foresee all this
muddle OF litiganon--this blare OF
trumpets, blast and counter-blast,
charge and counter-charge? Did the
rdh old Weston pioneer roll over in
his coffin with silent laughter as at
torney after attorney entered the
ranks of the arena of the court to
battle for the estate?
The chances are that he did, and II
is easy to picture the spirit OF ]. w.
Young grimly chuckling over the
complications in the famous case,
complications which he had pictured
before his death.
Young Had "IIunch."
Young must have had a "hunch'
of the fun he was going to miss, for
I'm the evidence Of X. NJ. Powers,
quoted by Judge Bean In his opinion
yesterday. Is this statement of the old
mans attitude:
"He told me he was to give her
(the neice, Mable Warner IA first
class education, and said that II she
went to the dogs It wasn't his fault.
He told me he was not going to fix
anything up: what he had he was go-
ing to leave the kids to fight over,
and he looked out of the side of his
eye. and said; Won't they have a
hell of a time?'
And even j. w. Young must have
been pleased with the result.
Mable Warner was Young's neice,
and the daughter of his wife from
whom he was divorced. After the di-
vorce Mable Warner liver with her
uncle, and was by him educated. He
wanted to adopt the girl but Mables
mother refused to allow such pro-
ceeding, but he sent her to school.
gave her a business education. and
for several years kept the young lady
in his home. Later, according to the
story told in the evidence quoted by
Judge Bean, Young lost control of the
girl, and they drifted apart. Mable

At union meeting held at the
Bapt st church at 1920 this morn
ing Thanksgiving was observed as a
religious holiday by the people of
Pendleton. The majority of the
churches of the city participated in
the meeting and a special song SER
vice was rendered.
Rev w. /. Van Nuys, pastor Of the
Presbyterian church, delivered an
appropriate Thanksgiving sermon
and the following is a synopsis of
the same:
Text: Ps. 116:12. What shall
render to the Lord for all His Bene-
fits to me?"
This inquiry indicates a good man.
The child of God can do nothing more
befitting his sonship than TO pause
ar times to seriously consider what he
is receiving from the Heavenly Faith
er, Thanksgiving is the highest SER
wee he can render, the most precious
offering he can make. And the in
quiry is also a good cause for ma
ton to pause in its accustomed way
and as one man inquire what obIiga-
tins rest on it because of the bless
ings of Almighty God.

An American Day.

This Thanksgiving day is a pecu-
liarly American holiday-as unique
as the Fourth of July. We have moth
ing of common interest and occupa-
tion more potent for blessing than
this. Some may complain because the
name Of God is not written in our
constitution. In this day we have the
evidence that it is written in the
heart and conscience of our people.
1t is a part of the constitution of the
nation established in living hearts
and it is here that we find the true
indication of national character.
The day is a memorial of the
Hand of our God that has been upon
us And in this lies our strength
and confidence. In his last address
as vice president, Mr., Roosevelt said
"The most magnificent fact in history
is the mighty movement and mission
of our race. And the most splendid
phase of that world redeeming move
ment is the entrance of the Ameri-
can people as the geatest force in all
the earth to do their part in admin
istering civilization among mankind"
We have no clearer token of the hand
of our God than the story of those
days of early thanksgiving, when
through privation, hardship, sorrow
the founders of the nation prayfully
sought Gods guidance and gave to
Him thanks for the blessings that
seem to us so meagre.

Chances for Victory.

Logically, Pendleton should win to-
days game. and those who have fol-
lowed the fortunes of the two teams
can not see anything else in the cards
unless the visitors-as is not likely
score a first touchdown on some fluk @
and the green and yellow-as is yet
more unlikely-grow disheartened
thereupon.
The locals are forewarned as to
Columbias keen style of play, and
should be on their guard against any
fakes and tricks, while on the other
hand, as good old football goes, Co.
lumbia can not hope to play in the
same class with the high school lads.
Pendleton's Advantage.
AS to weight. Captain Bakers men
only average two pounds more to the
man than do the visitors, so that the
cry Of weight put up by Coach
Moores and his captain looks some
thing like clutching at straw of an
excuse. Columbia will average 149
pounds to the man, while the locals
will Tip the scales on an average at
ISL.

God i'm the West.

Men of every age may we'll be i'm
pressed by the relation of their day
to the days that have gone before. The
past is completed in a sense by every
today. But there are certain lessons
as to the Providence of God that are
impressed on us of these western
shores today that men have never had
occasion to learn so clearly as we.
About four thousand years ago God
Called man from the cradle of the
human race and put into him the in
stinct of the pioneer. He was the
first of the long line that has moved
westward through the ages carrying
banners of the heavenly kingdom.
This is nation of pioneers, the sue
cessors of that first pioneer and to
us of the westland is granted to stand
where the tides meet. In the thin
smoke of the cabins of the pilgrim
colony we see a rising column of in
cense as acceptable to God as the
prayer of the first Pioneer And in
the call to Thanksgiving tha first
season, an altar as precious in His
sight as the altar first erected at
Shechem. This is our national altar
today. And as God gathers here in
our coasts the choicest and tried ele-
ments of the nation-as the advance
of the pioneers is checked by the
limits of the world, we catch the
sound of tidings as to our destiny. We
hear the movement of the leaves in a
mighty forest when the breath of the
morning blows, is the stirring of the
great nations of the Orient
Food for Thankfulncss.
There are abundant signs of a spe-
cial preparation for the eliminating
chapter of this world encircling king
dom. Nowhere are there richer
fields-we are just discovering the
extent of our resources.
We are moved by the impulse to
a pure and exalted citizenship The
wave of moral reform" that many |
have said would recede and fail, show |

Captain Baker of Pendleton:

we ought to beat them in straight
football, Coach Moores may have
something new to spring that will be

Deciding Championship.
on Matlock field this afternoon the
football championship of the state of

Willamette valley, and the battle will
be the closest of any in which the
local team has participated this year.

We are afraid of nothing except your
weight, and that is the only thing
that can win for you"
In today's game Columbia will de-
pend largely upon her speed and up
on trick plays to win. The Portlan-
ders have a reputation for tricks in
the game, and in all probability will
try to show the locals something of
the finer points of football as they
appear to Gordon Moores, Esq. Just
how the locals will take the lesson is
a problem. but this is certain, that in
return they will give some little in
in the good oldfashioned
as they have been play
ing all season. and if the eleven cap
tanned by Tracy Baker does not win
1t will not be because they haven't
tried.

How much money American travel
ers leave annually in Europe is being
discussed In newspapers and magazines
more earnestly than ever. The total
sum, it Is generally admitted, has been
growing enormously within five years.
Writers in foreign newspapers are as
tonished at the increased output Of
American dollars in Great Britain,
France, Switzerland, Italy and other
countries, and prominent bankers aver
that the millions of dollars expended
represent very large portion of the
revenue Of some Of the countries in
question. A conservative estimate
places the number of American travel
ers to Europe this year between $4,000
and 10000. Another estimate based
on the all-year-round travel from the
United States indicates that at least
100000 Americans cross the Atlantic
and expend $76O head, exclusive Of
steamship tickets, or $22S, 200, 600 In all.
Call the total figure even little over
one-half of that sum, or 5000, 900,
and it is seen that foreign countries
must profit immensely from the tour
