CANADIAN FARMERS
SURELY PlUCKED
FORMER UMATIILA FARMERS
DENOUNCE WHEAT WEIGH
ING AND GRADING.
Government Agents Dominated by
Buyers Grade Wheat by Guess
Northern Growers Get Much Less
Than Americans for Wheat in Same
Market

Umatilla county farmers who at
times find complaint with the man
ner in which they have to market
Che fact they at least fare better than
DO the Canadian wheatraisers.
Facts about the Canadian system Of
handling the crop, as told by former
Cmatilla county farmers now located
IN Canada show that the northerners
are at the mercy of system that for
straight skullduggery has all Ameri-
car methods badly faded.
In Canada the grading and the
weighing of wheat is done entirely by
the government and while beautiful
in theory the system in actual practice
makes the wheatman easy plucking
for the buying interests. The men
who weigh the wheat and grade it are
appointed by the government and it
IS charged with much show of reason
TGat the grain buying interests are in
&luential in making the appointments
Either that or they are instrumental
in corrupting the appointees after
fhey have been named.
as an instance OF now the Sralt
works one prominent former Umatil
IA county man declares that last
summer he sold car of wheat and
before having it weighed by the Of
sicial weigher took the precaution of
having the car weighed himself He
declares the government man credit
ed him with just so bushels less than
The car actually contained. This was
not a rare occurrence but the usual
ching. Through false weights submit
ted in this manner it is said the far
rnefs are heavily fleeced each year.
In the grading of wheat the plan
ioears down still harder on the far
rner. The Canadian government
grader invariably grades wheat far
fower than do the American buyers
Here is a concrete instance showing
nov the system operates. A former
Dakota farmer is now located near
Calgary and two years ago when he
sold his wheat the government agent

GOVERNOR WEST WILL HELP
OFFICERS CATCH BOOTLEGGERS

SALEM, Ore, Feb. 19.-For the
purpose of giving county officers
every opportunity to catch bootleggers
who might have federal liquor licens-
es. Governor West sent to the district
attorney Of each county a complete
list of all the government liquor IL
censes issued to persons in that
county.
The last legislature enacted a law
which makes the possession Of H.

the selling of liquor. The governor
points out that many bootleggers and
women OF Ill repute who disregard the
state liquor LAWS generally take the
precaution to secure government IL
cense before selling any liquor. BY

IS MADE FOR A
SPECIAL BOND ELECTION

Formal request was made of the
city council last evening by the wa
ter commission to call special cleo
ton for the voting upon a $4,000
bond issue necessary for the COM
pletion of the gravity water system
The request was referred to the fl
nance committee which will probably
take week to consider the matter.
NO discussion over the request was
engaged in by the council
The fire committee last evening
recommended the appointment of Cliff
Bellinger as chief of the new Pendle-
niger and Joseph F. Inman as his two
assistants. This recommendation was
accepted by the council However.
the ordinance formally abolishing the
cid volunteer department and Great
ing the new semi-paid department has
not yet been prepared and, until such
one is passed, no appointments will
be binding. By motion the fire COM
mittee was instructed to purchase
beds and bedding so that the three
paid men and five volunteers can
sleep in the city hall and be ready to
answer all calls.
Application was made by Joseph
Coffman- for one of the paid positions
and it was referred to the fire COM
mittee.
DR.. James A. Best last evening pre-
sented a bill for s112.25 as damages
for injury sustained by his automo-
bile when it was struck recently by
the fire truck while going to a fire.
The bill was referred to the claims
committee and was not reported back
Upon the recommendation of the
light committee, an arc light was or
dered installed at the corner of
Maple and Railroad street and an
other at the intersection of E. Webb
and Union.
DR.. l. L. Temple appeared to enter
a complaint against the proposed
plan of grading Tustin street, declar-
ing that under the plans no benefit
would be secured for the $4,000 costs
and announcing that he and many
others would demonstrate against II.
His objection was that the grade. un-
der the plan, is too wide and too
costly. Councilman Murphy of the
street committee stated that he be.
lieved good sidewalk along the south
side of the street would answer pres
ent purposes while Chairman Cole
held out for grading the street ac-
cording to the plans. The matter is
still in the hands of the street COM
mittee.
Upon the city engineers recommen-
dation. the Portland Bridge Co. wal
paid $3735.10 on its contract for the

SMITH OF BELLEVUE
CHEER MAKER FOR SICK

BELLEVUE, O., Feb. 19.--When
Thomas A, Edison invented the pho
nograph he had no idea what a part
1t would play in cheering up sick
folks in Bellevue. o. II Edison were
to see Frank W. Smith of Bellevue
pushing wheelbarrow containing u
phonograph down the street he'd ask
perhaps what Smith was doing. Here
is the answer:
Smith cheers up sick folks with his
monograph. He has been visiting
sick folks in Bellevue for years and
he always wheels his talking ma
chine. Wherever he hears Of a
"shutin" he starts out. Flowers
aren't just the think for sick folk"
declared Smith "A phonograph rec.
ord does them much more good"
Sickness in any family is a sure sign
that Smith will read it in the paper
and be on his way with his phonoe
graph.
