FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1908.
AFTER ELECTION.

The results of the election seem
to have been very satisfactory to the
business men of the country. I'm
mediately after election large orders
were placed for copper, zinc and
lead. This made sharp advance
in the prices of those metals and
stimulated the buying of mining
stocks. The Butte stocks in partic-
ular experienced something of
boom. Gratifying as it is to have
the metals advance it must not be
forgotten that an advance in price
which is fostered by anything but
steady demand for the metals is apt
to be followed by reaction.
The manufacturers of the country
are VIGOROUSLY Republican in their
tendencies and may possibly have
held back their orders prior to cleo
ton on account Of political feeling
On the other hand it must be adj
mitted thai the American people
have contracted habit" of drop
ping business affairs during the
months Immediately preceding
national election, very much in the
manner # many business houses
which refrain from placing orders
during the last few days of the
month.
Again, prospective chance in
the management or policy of any
business or Organization is apt to
disorganize normal conditions and
cause a falling off in activity.
In any one of these instances a
return to regular conditions will
cause temporary increase beyond
the normal with the possibly false
indication Of better times. Such
conditions, however, are apt to be
followed by more or less of a re-
action.
We do not wish to infer that we
have the slightest fear for the flu
ture, for, to the contrary, we can
notbut feel that the reports which
come from all sides, from Demo-
cratic and Republican sources alike,
of hundreds of thousands of men
being put to work, and of hundreds
OF thousands Of dollars being added
to the payroll of the nation, can
hardly be entirely the products of
political feeling or party prejudces.
Not only do the Republicans feel
buoyant over the election. but the
Democrats appear only little less
satisfied. President Roosevelt es-
tablished the political precedent of
paying attention to the demands of
the minority. Some went so far as
to say that he took all the wind out
of Democracy's sails, but a better
way to put it is to say that he rec
ognized the strong points in the
arguments of the minority and
was influenced thereby. Now
that his precedent has been
established and proven good
politics" there is little doubt but
that the principle will be con
tinued, and the Democrats feel that
they have put up such good fight
that their main contentious are

Arrested on Suspicion by Sheriff Tay-

Wanted for Obtaining Money Under
False Prctenses-Strenuous De-
MED Guilt But Tell Tale Hat Band
Clinches Identity-Had Removed
Hirsute AdOrnments.

In spite of strenuous efforts to
conceal his identity H. Caller, now
under arrest here for obtaining
money under false pretenses, has been
Identified as the man who is wanted
in Portland.
Caller was arrested mere several
days ago by Sheriff Taylor who sus-
pected him OF being the man wanted
in Portland for having defrauded the
Portland Marble works by sending In
fictitious orders to that concern and
securing SIS as commission when he
was not entitled to the same. When
first arrested Caller said his name was
White and strongly denied being the
man they wanted.
This morning ]. NJ. Newell, of the
marble works, arrived here to iden-
tify Caller. As he had not seen Caller
many times before and the prisoner
had shaven off a heavy mustache In
the meantime, he was at first not
positive Of his identity. But the fl
nal link in the chain was secured
when on looking inside the hat band
of the prisoner the name H. Caller
was found written therein. The
name was partly erased, but was still
plainly visible and cinched the iden-
tity of the fellow.
Caller was taken to Portland on
train No. / this afternoon.

The evangelistic MEETINGS conduct
ed by Rev. Allen Wilson at the First
Christian church in this city for the
past six weeks will close tonight with
an excellent sermon by Rev. Wilson
on The Dangerous Border Lines OF
Popular Amusements."
This is a review of the popular
amusements of the day and a moder-
ate criticism of the extremes to which
they are often carried and will be ap-
preciated by all who hear il.
over 100 additions have been made
TO the First Christian church during
the Wilson meetings and the evan
gelist has come up to every expecta-
ton Of the congregation. He is a
pleasing and forcible speaker and is
not extreme in his views or express
sions
He will leave on Saturday for Port
land, where he will begin a series OF
meetings in the First Christian church
Of that city on Sunday evening.
The congregation of the Christian
church here are delighted with the
result of the meetings and feels that
it has been greatly benefited by the
Wilson meetings. Many Of the new
members gained during the meetings
have been mature men and women
and it is felt that they will become
permanent members Of the church
and workers in the cause OF higher
life.

evening on their departure for Nam
pa, where Rev. Haudenschield opens
series of meetings this week.
The work of Rev. Haudenschield
has been highly satisfactory in this
city and aside from being an able
minister and a fearless advocate of
right and justice, is practical busi-
ness man and has had a wide ex-
perience in different lines of work.
He made a large circle of personal
friends here who will always welcome
him to the city on any future occa-
sion.
All of the churches which Joined in
the union meetings are we'll pleased
with the results and 1t is believed
that it was one of the most success
full and far reaching series of meet
ings ever held in this city.

This afternoon another meeting Of
the federal court committee will be
held in the office of District Attorney
Phelps and further action taken to-
wards advancing Pendleton's claims
as headquarters for the new district
should it be created.
This meeting is being held this af-
ternoon as the result Of another letter
received from Senator Fulton. The
letter was of much the same tenor as
the one published yesterday except
ing that it spoke doubtfully concern
ing the passage of the bill for the
district.
That they will stay to the finish In
the fight to bring the federal district
here is declared by those having the
campaign in hand. They assert that
Pendleton is the logical and only
proper place for the court to abide
and that If new district bill passes
congress this session 1t should be with
the provision that the court be held
in this city.

wooLMEN GET LOWER RATE.
For Shipments From Baker City to
Be Established.

AS result of the trip of G. s.
L. Smith, Col. w. F. Butcher and Po-
seph West to Portland as represen-
tatives of the wool industry OF Ba-
ker it is pleasing to note that rate
of $1.75 to Boston has been obtained,
says the Baker City Democrat.
This means that with the estab-
lishment, of "a baler in Baker City
which will be done this year, that all
the wool from as far west as Dayville
will go to the eastern market via Ba-
ker City. A large part OF the clip
from the western part of Grant coun-
ty is now being hauled to Shaniko
and from there marketed. This will
now be transferred to this market for
baling and shipping. The haul from
Dayville to Shaniko now costs the
wool grower 81. and 81 return, while
the haul from Wheeler and Grant
county lines to Austin will be much
nearer and of course less expensive.
Then, too, the Sumpter Valley rail-
road has made a 90 cent rate to Ba-
ker. That is a great reduction to
the grower and an inducement to use
this route.
Not only does this mean that Ba-
ker will profit by this outgoing trade
but it will mean a great deal to the
merchants Of this city, for as the
trade comes here it will mean that all
the supplies for the growers will be
furnished by the merchants of this
city.
baler here and the rate now Sc
cured means more to the merchants
of Baker City than has been pointed
out.
