WHEAT MARKET is
; AT A STANDSTILL

The wheat market in Pendleton Is
practically at a standstill Since the
big Saturday sale several weeks ago
when over a million bushels of wheat
passed into the hands OF the dealers
at 20 cents. there have been but few
lots bought and sold. Today the buy
ers are willing to pay 40 cents for Al
club but those growers who still have
Al club in their hands are holding
for higher prices. Those who are
willing TO let go at 20 cents have
wheat that Is little smutty or in
ferior and the buyers will not accept
II without a discount. Thus the sit
uation resolves itself into the farm
ers holding for higher prices than are
now prevailing, whether their grain
is superior or inferior.
There was earlier activity in tho
Umatilla county market than in any
of the inland empire markets and the
big unloading that occurred all MT
once resulted in the falling of prices
down to 6S and So. Now. as the big
companies need grain. they are buy
ing more in walla walla and other To-
calities where there is still AL wheat
to be had for 20 cents However.
there is no great amount being export
ed at this time and the demands from
the mills are not heavy.

mean the electric chair for Rev. Hans
Schmidt who confessed TO killing An
ma Aumuller, the girl whose dismem-

he was an ordinary criminal as well
as an extraordinary one has convert
ed most of the authorities to believe in
his sanity.

understood the dentist admitted that
he and Schmidt planned to manufac-
ture $40 bills but 1t is not definitely
known that any of the counterfeit
bills were actually printed.
The police have not decided as to
whether Mert was in any way con

Ter girl
