East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-10-18

Portland, oct. 17-There was a de-
cline Of 15c per hundred pounds II
the price Of local hogs during thu
week. Best stuff sold no higher thar
| $7S5, and 1t took something excep.
tional to bring that figure. While the
run Of hogs during recent weeks has
been much more liberal than expect.
ed, 1t scarcely denotes that there is
any considerable number in this sec-
tion. Indications are that the recent
high prices here brought out practi-
cally all the hogs that were available
for market. For the past three
weeks there has been a steady de-
cline in the number OF hogs that ar
rived at the Stockdale yards Two
weeks ago the total run was $3.50
head; last week 22O0 head and the
past week 1893 head. At the present
rate Of decrease it will not be long
before there will be no local hogs
coming in this direction.
cattle Market Doing Better.
During the past week there was an
Improvement in the demand for cat
tie. All grades that were fit to kill
showed a llveler call and this was re-
Elected at later date in the price re-
ceived by shippers. While the run of
cattle was rather small during the
week, It was greater than any recent
period with the exception of two
weeks ago when there was fraction
al increase In the supply.
Weeks trading in the cattle mar
ket indicates that killers surplus of
good stuff is practically exhausted
and this is the reason why they were
bidding and paying an advance of 25c
over former values.
Total run of cattle during the week
was 997 head compared with 7SO last
week. 1892 the previous week and
7S5 a month ago.
Nominal Run of Calves.
During the past week there was
only a nominal run of calves in the
stock yards Receipts had a total o.
but 1871 head, compared with 400 last
week and 500 the previous week.
Killers say Il is exceedingly diff
cult for them to obtain choice calves
at this time. for most Of the arrivals
are Of very heavy size and are rapid
ly getting into the yearling class,
Prices paid during the week compare
favorGbly with those of previous week
for the same class of goods.
sheep Run Disappears.
Sheepmen, as had been expected,
did not take kindly to the recent at
tempt Of killers to force lower value
simply because offerings were more
free Therefore. few of them entered
the local market during the week. To-
tai run Of sheep and lambs was but
592 head, compared with 6420 last
week. 1897 the previous week and
1850 head a month ago for a like
period. Practically no change was
shown in sheep and lamb values dur
ng the psf week.

DIDN'T PAY PEPPERCORN
ON HER TRINITY LAESE

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEWARK, March 12.-Most
people thing that peppercorn is
only a figure of speech, or some
thing. Miss Anna T. Nevison, of
this city, used to but she doesn't
any longer. She had to pay
1915 for one.
Miss Nevison held a 99-year
lease on some downtown proper
ty belonging to Trinity church.
The lease was drawn back in the
eighteenth century, and provided
for a lump payment and one pep
percorn a year. Miss Nevison
didn't have any peppercorns, and
paid no attention that part of the
lease.
When she tried to transfer the
lease recently, trust company Of
ficers noticed the clause about
the pepperoorn, and asked If that
had been turned over. Miss Nevi-
son said no. She had to pay the
1915 penalty.

l"Ugh!"
And that's all they get out OF
old Chief Bccody, the Navajo In
dian from Arizona, who, in 9
wild, savage frenzy, waded into an
unsuspecting crowd in the B. & o
depot in this city, few days ago
and half killed two men and g
woman with a long hunting knife
At the Hamilton county jail
Chief Becody waits, stolid, calm.
II the white men decree his death
II they free him-Ugh!
He will take what comes. He's a
good Indian.
Ten minutes before the train
reached the depot, there was no
man in 1t more peaceable.i He was
returning from government mis-
sion to Washington. He had talked
with many white men on the
train. He belonged to thefHQe
of Navajo, whose membersf =
made fine blankets for caste
and have songs written 40 \

the government any trouble.
But the old, quick, hdtfne.
blindZ terrible impulses of Te-
cumseh and Geronimo, of Sitting
Bull and Rain-in-the-Face, lurked
beneath the veneer of civilization
and benevolence. His seamedsAnd
wrinkled face was ready to break
into grim scowl which would
imean' death for someone.
And so 1t. happened. His ever
coat was stolen, tie thief was
gone. His forefathers, generation
after generation, had known how
to act. Kill the thief, or The
had gone, then kill his family.
The old chief pulled pint
flask from his bag attached to his
belt. One, two, three drinks. The
quick, fiery liquor mounted to his
brain. He was ready. The next
minute he was in the crowd,
striking, striking to kill.
They got him, of course. What
was one old man against SO many?
Now, maybe, the white men will
hang him. That's their law. Very
we'll. He is still the son Of his
fathers. They won't see Chief Be-
cody show fear or ask for mercy.
Calmly he waits. Occasionally
smokes his old pipe. He is the
white mans prisoner.
One of his victims is not out of
danger yet.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, March II,
w. c. Cole, known as "King
Cole, who when at Michigan was
admittedly the greatest all-around
athletic performer the school ever
produced. is tipped to succeed
Charlie Baird as athletic director.
Baird will resign at the next
meeting of the regents in April,
and although several men have
been mentioned as his probable
successor, it is to king" Cole
that the palm will be awarded,
say the men supposed to be on the
inside.
There are reasons why Cole
should be selected. He is splen-
did foot ball coach as well as a
business man, and in addition to
looking after the financial end of
university athletics he can coach
the eleven when Hurry Up" Yost
retires, as he is expected to do
when his present contract expires.
