aimed at the stomach. Risley partly
warded il off and, instead of ripping
him, the knife only aut a three-cor-
nered piece out of his etomach The
second blow cut Risley's left arm to

ANOTHER BOUND TODAY
DOLLAR ADCANCE GOES INTO
EFFECT IN PENDLETON-
50 SACK NOW.

Going up. going up" The price
of sugar made another vault of dol
lar and shattered the western record
of decade all to pieces. Sugar now
retails in Pendleton at $500 a sack.
This morning the jobbers, through
Penland Bros, notified the local mer-
chants that another 80 cent advance
had taken place and this afternoon
at 1:30 notification came of another
20 cent raise. The jobbers now quote
$40 as the +. o. b. price to local re-
tailers.
Not only is the price of sugar
eclipsing all records of recent years
but the supply in Pendleton is very
short The jobbers, who generally
keep a big supply in the local ware
houses, have but very little left. Some
of them have not a single sack here.
Merchants are unable To buy from
Portland except in small quantities,
and the jobbers can likewise get only
limited quantities from the refineries.
The money that is bing made by the
big advance is going to the refineries
who are taking advantage of the war
situation to boost their product up
ward.
