was one of the most interesting and
convincing that he has yet given,
In his talk he stressed the fact of
Gods promise to wipe out our trans

Irish Folk Eager to Catch Fairy
That's Loose in County Meath.
Great excitement prevails in the
northwest portion of county Meath
as the result of certain mysterio Is
occurrences in killough district
which have revived the old super
stition concerning the leprehaun, a
beloved Irish fairy.
County Meath folk believe one OF
/ these fairies is now at large in Kill
Tough.
According to tradition in that sec
ton of Ireland, the leprehaun is a
little man of dwarfish proportion,
clad in red, with small peaky cap.
who, If caught, will lead his captors
to a spot where a pot of gold is
buried. On the way, though, the
fairy will endeavor to distract the
attention of the person holding him,
and If he succeeds in diverting the
eyes of his captor, even for an in
slant, the little creature will van
ish with hooking laughter.
Farmers in the district of Kill
Tough profess to have seen a lepre-
haun playing about the neighbor-
hood frequently in the past few days
and superstitious people, whose faith
in fairies, or good people is stead
fast, are now staying out until the
early hours of morning in the hope
of entrapping the reported visitor.

CLOTHING FOR SUFFERERS
Wearing Apparel for Flood Victims
May Be Left at Express Office.

Citizens outside of Dallas and
Fort Worth have not yet been called
upon for aid for flood victims, but
it is more than likely that any help
would be appreciated. O.. Beseler,
agent for the American Express COM
pany, authorizes the statement that
he will receive articles of clothing
for the sufferers at the express office
on West Franklin street. Those who
wish to contribute anything in this
line are invited to send same to the
office. There is plenty of room in the
office for receiving and packing
clothing, and Mr.. Beseler has kindly
consented to render any assistance
possible in taking charge of and for
warding contributions.

to recommend him to both working
men and the general public as one to
whom they can turn with the assur-
ance that they will be treated with
the greatest courtesy.
His popularity among his constitu-

of their requests. He is broad

of ability and integrity whose name
is a guarantee of the success of any
enterprise with which he. associates
himself, and we have no hesitancy in
wishing him a long career in public
life.

FAMOUS ROCKS OF THE NORTHWEST

The following article was read by
Mrs. II. S. Shackleford of The Dalles
before The Dalles Historical socitey:
One of the rocky formations
which should be famous, but is not
so much so as, one could wish, is that
high point just below the mouth of
Mill creek and very near the o. r. &
N. oil tank. In October 1906 on
Friday the 25th, Lewis and Clark
made their encampment there. To
use their own words "At night a fire
was made in the middle of our camp,
and as the Indians sat round 1t our
men danced to the music of the vio-
lin, which so delighted them that sew
eral resolved to remain with us all
night" One can still pick out the
place where this dance occurred in
a circular depression.
There is a mound at Wishham VIII
lage, which also is Of much interest
as being near the original site of the
village when Lewis and Clark visited
1t. At that time there were 20 houses
near this mound and they speak of
1t as having "every evidence of being
artificial"
Since the north bank railroad has
been cut through one side of 1t have
examined the cut. It seems to have
strata of different materials and l
noticed one or two which contained
much charcoal and ashes. None SEEM

have been easy cutting through II, 7

NO CONTRACTS
FOR GRAIN BAGS
NO ACTION TAKEN BY
FARMERS UNION.
Big Meeting OF Inland Empire Farm
sers at Walla Walla Did Not Order
Sacks-Insufficient Authority to
Make Conuacts-Sacks Promise to
Be Much Cheaper This Season.

The Walla Walla Union says of
the big meeting of the farmers union
at that place yesterday to inquire
into the matter of making purchases
of grain sacks for the ensuing year:
on account of inadequate organi-
zation for the legal transaction of
business, no final action was taken
yesterday by the Farmers Cooper
ative and Educational union at the
sack day assembly, regarding the
purchase of sufficient grain bags to
handle the wheat crop for next sea-
son.
Fully 500 farmers from Walla
Walla, Columbia and Umatilla coun-
ties were in attendance at this con-
vention where they met representa-
tives from four grain bag companies
and from the Northern Pacific and
o. r. & n. railroads.
Through the appointment of sew
eral committees, the convention re-
SulNcu ltotIl llllO q buug lSSdllN qudl-
flied to transact business, and the
sack question will be acted upon on
February l.
The aggregate number of bags that
will be demanded by the farmers of
the three counties represented at the
meeting yesterday will approximate
100000. Through cooperation in
buying, the bag companies have as
sured the union that a market re-
duction will be made on prices form
erly quoted.
1t was rumored that the Bemis Bag
company submitted bid for bags in
lots over a million at the rate of 6la
cents. This means a saving Of 8
cents per bag, or total saving of
$3.50, 900 to the farmers.
An unfortunate condition in the
purchase of bags which presents
itself at the present time is the fact
that the penitentiary, owing to tehc-
nicalities, can not submit bid on
the. sacks until after March 1. The
present price at the penitentiary for
bags in any quantities is cents.

on banking in Canada: Canadians
are proud of their banking system
which is admittedly one of the
strongest in the world. There are S5

these banks have 1929 branches, The
total paid-up capital of these is $685.

account is S69,S2I992. A govern

positors can suffer, shareholders
must lose i'm paid-up stock through

the entire deposits. 1t is stated that

banks are made by residents of for

the high price of corn and hay and

indication that our receipts of cattle

nearly overcome the decrease of
about one-third that we will show

THE WEST IS SHORT Of FED CATTLE.

II. w. Pickett, traffic manager of
the Kansas City stock yards, and one
OF the best informed men in Ameri-
ca on the question OF the livestock
Industry in the west, was In Pocatei-
10 during the convention here of the
Idaho Woolgrowers' association, and
conferred at considerable length with
some of the leading sheepmen OF the
Gem state, says the Pocatello Tri-
bune.
He discussed important matters re-
lating TO shipping with President
Stockslager OF the Idaho Woolgrow-
ers. and presented that gentleman
with a copy of his recent oonfiden-
tial report made to General Manager
Eugene Rust of the Kansas City
stockyards company. The report
contained much valuable information
and in order to give II wider public
ity the Tribune prevailed upon Mr..
Prickett to permit the publication OF
some excerpts.
In connection with tho report, Mt.
Pickett informs the Tribune that he
has been assured by a prominent
traffic official of the Union Pacific
that the Marysville- Kansas City cut
off will be completed by May Of this
wear. thus enabling shippers from
this part of the west to reach Kansas
CITY for the same days market at
Omaha.
In his report to General Manager
Rust Mr.. Prlckett said In part:
During this year there has been
forwarded from this market to the
feed lots east of the Missouri river
about $4,000 cattle and about $4,000
calves which is an increase OF over
40. per cent as compared with the
last year. During the same period
there has been forwarded from this
market TO the feed lots this year to
points west of the Missouri river 1885,
900 cattle and $1,000 calves, or de-
crease of about per cent as COM
pared with last year.
Missouri received more than dou-
compared with last. This Is due to
the fact that the northern half of
that state has a much better corn
crop. The territory in Missouri from
which we receive shipments exper-
fenced a failure in their corn crop
last year, which is the reason for
our decrease in cattle receipts from
that state this year. We should have
a slight increase in cattle receipts
from Missouri feed lots, although
the southern part is some short and
the central part about the same.
Think we will have a decrease OF
about 20 per cent of cattle from the
feed lots of that state during the
next few months.
"While Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory have an increased acreage of
about 20 per cent Of corn, yet they
will fall a little short of their total
yield. There isn't so many cattle be-
ing fed meal. but more are being fed
corn and / think our receipts will be
about the same as last year from
that territory.
"Texas is very short on fed cattle,
from so to so per cent The range
conditions in that state are excellent
and the cattle that are on tallow
weed In the southwestern part of the
state will move early and be in prize
condition. Most OF these cattle will
