Barley.
The main buyers. masters, have not
expressed any anxiety for Barley the
past week. Receipts have continued
very good A considerable portion Of
what came in-the greater per cent, it
may be said-was delivered on to-
arrive sales. This. with what has been
picked in the way of car-lot purchases,
for this month and for several months
in advance. 1t was apparently because
barley looked reasonable in price, more
than from urgent need, that the demand
held to what it was. Since so much
was taken from the receipts to deliver
on sales, the quantity left to offer was
only moderate. That created another
condition-no pressure to SELL Between
the two the market ruled nuiet, inclined
to dullness, also heavy, not much
changed, but finally easier The mar
ket was on pivot and sensitive. It
would not have required much pressure
to have inclined it either way, up or

Bell system More Widely Distributed
Than POstOfiiccs. Says Report.
The report just issued by the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany for the year ending December 81,
1912, shows that the telephone has
become in the United States, to a
greater extent than anywhere alse in
the world, household necessity.
There are now 10000 towns, cities
and hamlets from which telephone
messages may be sent. This is 5000
more than the number Of postoffices in
the United States; 10000 more than
the number OF railway stations and
nearly three times the number of reg
ular telegraph Offices. There are alto
gether 7,456,074 telephone stations in
the Bell system, which is an increase
over last year of 1894 stations. This
compares with an increase during the
previous year of 749,9O6 stations.
The report tells of the new plan an
nounced January list, last for en-
ployes' pensions, disability benefits
and insurance adopted by the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegrap h COM
pany, by it's associated companies, by
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany and by the Western Electric
company. For the purpose of inaugu-
rating these benefits the American
Telephone and Telegraph company
made an initial appropriation of 3d.
100000.
There are about 100000 employees
men and women-in the service of the
companies concerned who will be di-
rectly or indirectly affected by this
provision. The plan has been elab-
orately worked out and will, it is be-
lieved, result in the increased happi-
ness and betterment of employees.

THREAT OF JAIL
CUBA GIVES
New Secretary Of State
Encounters W0ighty
Problems.

ALMOST at the actual moment that
IA William Jennings Bryan step
"A ped into his new office as Sec
Rotary Of state he was plunged
into problems Of the weightiest possi-
BILE nature. He was not given a
chance to feel his way around care
fully and become adjusted to the new
functions. 1t was up to him to act
quickly toward shutting Off great act
Of probable lawlessness in Cuba and
to smooth out diplomatic entangle-
ments between this country and Mex
leo.
In the first place. the threatened re-
lease Of all political and other prison
ers from the jails throughout Cuba
was a matter Of the gravest moment.
1t had deep significance for the United
States.
This liberation Of countless mnlefac-
tors, including even murderers Of the
worst type, would have prevented the
Menocal administration. which sup
plants that Of President Jose Gomez
on May 20. from prosecuting the graft
ers who are charged with having loot
ed the official treasury Of Cuba. This
would entirely destroy the credit Of
the Cuban republic. since means Of
guaranteeing Cuban loans have been
largely impaired by the wanton ex-
cesses Of political grafters. In turn
the United States would be held d.
rectly responsible for the credit of the
island republic through having de-
gree Of supervisory power over its
finances.
Secretary Bryan won his first tilt
with Cuba over this matter. On the

In reference to Mexico. The secre-
tary of state was called upon to in
vestigate serious charges of improprie-
ty on the part Of American officials In
Mexico and the charges of conspiracy
on the part Of American capital to-
ward bringing about the recent revo-
luton In that country.
AS a result Of the charges against
the American diplomatic staff in Mex
leo. Secretary Bryan undertook. with
President Wilson. complete investi-
cation OF Mexican affairs. signifying
that he intended to probe to the very
bottom all the causes OF the revolt,
all the actions Of American officials
and all the reports relating to Ameri-
can capitalists In Mexico.
Principal among the early charges
against Ambassador Wilson were the
assertions that he had openly louted
the MaderO government. fOstered the
Diaz uprising and finally had approx
ed the act Of Huerta in removing Ma
dero from Office and had asked that
recognition be given the provisional
president with undue and positively
indecent haste.
Ambassador Wilson denies the charge
and asserts ne could not avoid recOg-
niZing Huerta. as the latter was tile
only constituted authority.

The Oregon-W Washington Railroad &
Navigation company is to receive addi-

nouncement was made of large order
for locomotives-oneo of the largest sim
gle orders ever made. Immediately
following comes a correspondingly
large order for freight equipment. This
order calls for $500 box cars 100000
pound capacity and 1850 single deck,
10000 pounds capacity stock cars. The
cost of this equipment, which will be
divided with the Union Pacific and Chi
cago & Alton system, is $8,619,150.
While the proportion which will
come to the O.-W. R. & N. is not def
nitely stated in the announcement, the
distribution will be in accordance with
demand The territory along the line
of the O.-W. r. & N. is increasing it's
shipments, and the management is
making every endeavor to be able to
meet all requirements. To do this dur
ing the harvest seasons necessitates an
amount of equipment out of the ordi-
nary, and it is proposed to meet this
