(By United Press Leased Wire }
CHICAGO. Aug. 11.-Have the
bears overdone themselves and
pushed the wheat market down
too hurriedly. Action of the local
wheat market looked like the sell
ers have been altogether too over
confident and have let their de-
sire for profits run away with
their better judgment. The mar
ket closed u @ Is a bushel above
the final figures of yesterday.
While it was true that foreign
ers were on fence earlier in the
day, they jumped clear over into
the bull camp before the closing.
Although Liverpool was weak and
depressed with quotations NO
Il d down at the start, the clos
ing was " q 3sd above yester-
day.
Action of the foreigners In rad
ically changing their views re-
garding wheat values, caused an
upheaval of prices here at the
lopening, and almost the full days
gain was made at the start. In
the case of the May, the opening
was firmer and higher by Ao
than the closing.
With the exception of in the
september, the wheat market here
struck lower point than a year
ago this same day. Today's clos
ing of September is 98 nc asked
and compares with 81 sc year
ago. December closed today al

waited Prof. Augustus Frederick

made him neglect his great work
on "Philosophic Tendencies of the

he might be near Miss Desmond.
1t was rather the calmly, reflect

as she sat upon her front porch
viewing the passing stream of life
that held Prof. Conried. He was
sure that the lady dreamed of
schools of ancient philosophy and
of the tendencies of the times.
For the occasion of proposal
Prof. Conried donned the long
tailed coat in which he had lectur-
ed before the Rayol Philosophical
society and took with him copy
of his book on Ancient Greek
Dogma"

restrain himself.

afternoon"
Miss Desmond glanced up, smil-
ing ravishingly, "You are such a
kidder, professor" she protested.

wear purple plumes with the new
fall turbans."
The professor frowned slightly,
then chuckled in his stilted way.
"Ho-ho, ho-ho, merry quip. The
classic Aristophanes was given to
just SUCH"
"Aristo-who?" asked Miss Des-
mond.
The professor frowned again,
then produced the Dogma book
and opened at the first page. "Of
course you are familiar with my
most ambitious work, Ancient
Greek Dogma?"
mo-" she said, "I don't take
any interest in United States dogs,
let alone old Greek ones"
"Tut. tut!" admonished the pro-
fessor, beginning to read.
The lady had her eyes tightly
closed. No doubt she did this to
more thoroughly enjoy the golden
truths of the book. The professor
was moved.
"Estimable, learned lady," he
cried, dropping upon his knees,

Medbury, Idaho, Oct. 30.-At the
time of the opening of the Carey Act
lands under the project of the Kings
Hill Extension Irrigation company.
the townsite of Medbury and the
acreage surrounding it will be sold
under Carey Act rules. The system
devised for offering this land is a
unique one and is arousing much
interest among the local people who
are desirous of securing some of
these acreage tracts.
Instead of rating the land as TO
price the company has made one
price of Sl050, and every tract Of
fered for sale will be on this basis.
The tract is SO divided that very few
of the lots are of the same size. Lots
adjoining the townsite are smaller
and lots removed from the townsite
are larger, some tracts containing
more than 20 acres. Several large
crews have been at work the past
two weeks preparing the townsite
and acreage so that it can be readily
located by those who wish to look
over the tract in advance Medbury
is located on the main line of the
Oregon Short Line and about a mile
from Snake river. The company has
allowed in their plat boulevard
seventy feet wide which will run
from the town to Snake river and for
several miles along the river front.
This drive will be known as River
view Boulevard and is exceptionally
delightful as a scenic drive. The
tracts along this boulevard and along
the river are smaller than the tracts
further back. The company has
made arrangements for the planting
of ornamental trees the entire length
of the boulevard. By the time water
is ready next spring these trees will
be set out and growing.
In plating the acreage tracts the
lots and blocks have been so arrang-
ed that the entire area from the
town to the river will be like a great
city. Each block contains 40 acres
and roads are opened on each 40
acre line. The company plans to
have the streets cleared so that all
OF the lots can be readily located
Locally. the drawing for acreage
tracts and town lots is creating as
much or more enthusiasm as the
drawing for Carey Act lands.
The company is receiving large

thorlty for the seizure of the books,
papers, and other belongings of Editor
Sega of the Higher Wage organ, the
Nippu Jill, viii be decided by the
higher courts of the Territory, not
withstanding the adverse ruling of
Judge Carlos Long in the District Court

handed and without any justification
in law
This was in the matter of the re-
plevin suit brought by Sega, represent
ed by Attorney Lightfoot. to secure the
! return of his goods which were taken
by the High Sheriff.
Editor Sega was put on the stand
and testified as to his side Of the case;
that he was arrested on the afternoon
! of the tenth instant, and that he was
confronted at midnight by W A. Kin
ney and Attorney Prosser from the
Attorney Generals office. He then
stated that he was taken to his Office
and told that unless he opened his safe,
/ the authorities would blow it open. He
/ testified that it was only after repeated
threats that he opened the safe He
said that the High Sheriff and Deputy
! Chester Doyle were also present at the
time.
i In rendering his decision in favor of
Sega, Judge Long ordered that the
/ books and documents taken be returned
