Chicago. Feb. 1~1.-Leading bears who
covered wheat at the close yesterday
said they did not propose to stand any
loss. Most of traders and commission
houses were bu1lish last night. This
induced the remark by a trader that
the i~ndisposition to sell short is really
a weak feature. as it leaves the market
without good support, unless there is
an increase in the buying by the bull
interests. Corn-Traders said it was
easier to trace the buying in corn than
the selling. The corn disappears on
the breaks. IT was noticeable that Joe
Patten and other shorts who sold early
were covering at the close and tina
because they were unusually close to
the market. Some of the largest pro-
fessionals came In their corn through
commission houses. Inter-Ocean.

CONTRACTS
ARMSBY COMPANY CONTRACTS
FOR PRUNES.
Buying Commences Fully a Month
Earlier Than One Year Ago, the
Crop Being Much Lighter.

Mr.. A. Peterson, local manager for
the j. X. Armsby company, has al
ready purchased the crops of four
teen Polk county prune growers, ag-
gregating approximately 200 tons.
Last year at this time not a single
contract had been made, the buying
commencing early in June. The
price paid for futures ranges from IA
to S12 cents for thirty to thirty-fves,
while last year. the best figure was
IA cents. From personal observa-
ton, and authentic reports received
by his company, Mr.. Peterson esti-
mates that the crop in Polk county
this year will not exceed one half,
while from the state not more than
a one-third crop will be harvested
The Petites will be full crop, but
there are comparatively few through
out this valley, the Italians being the
staple crop.
Last season the Armsby company
handled at this place eighty-fve car
loads of prunes, or about 100000
pounds, all grown by orchardists in
Polk county. According to Mr.. Pet
erson's prediction not more than
100000 pounds will pass through
the A1msby packing house this fall.

SYSTEM HAS BEEN BETTERED.
Taxpayers Getting Their Money S
Worth in Road Building.

"There is road work under way in
nearly every part of the county" "
said Judge Teal when questioned on
the subject by a representative of
The Observer on Wednesday. "The
county will this year get double the
amount of work for the same money,
too; due to having a competent
road-master to plan and supervise the
work." added the judge.
Polk county expends something
over $4,000 annually for road pur-
poses, which is small compared to
amounts raised by other counties of
the state, and economy is the watch
word Of the commissioners. Three
rock crushers will be at work turning
out road material within few days.
One is now crushing 300 yards at
the Thorpe quarry, and will finish
this week, when it will be moved
to a point near Buffers store. Here
it will crush a considerable amount
of rock. Sam McVey has drillers at
work opening a quarry near Falls
City. and the erusher will be started
within a few days. At Salt Creek
rock is being turned out.

STATE GRANGE SESSION
MANY IMPORTANT MATTERS
ARE CONSIDERED.
Tax Question Discussed at Length
Officers Are Elected for
Coming Year.

One hundred and sixteen delegates,
representing So Oregon communities,
and many members Of local and ycoun-
ty oranges were assembled at Mon
mouth on Tuesday to participate in
the forty-frst session of the State
Grange. Incoming trains Monday
and Tuesday brought the grange
members to Monmouth. At the sta
tion they were met by automobiles
and leading citizens and students of
Monmouth High and Oregon Normal
Schools, who aided in locating the
visitors in private homes. Available
places outnumbered the grange mem
bers.
At 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon a
banquet was given the visiting grang-
ers by the local citizens and schools
in the large fir grove on the Nor
NAL School campus. Addresses of
welcome were made by P. HI. johnson,
mayor of Monmouth; j. HI. Acker-
man, president of the Oregon Normal
School, and P. o. Powell, master of
the local grange, followed by other
speeches and numerous responses.
Farmers, business men, teachers and
students took part in the feast, the
welcome proving one of the most sue
cessful ever given in that city.
To complete the days entertain
ment the Monmouth Training School
orchestra, a company of amateurs,
under the direction of Miss Mary Ho-
ham, instructor of music in the Ore
gon Normal School, gave a concert
for the visiting delegation in the nor
NAL auditorium. "Trial by jury"
presented by Normal School students,
also was staged for the grange mem
bers, following the concert.
AT Wednesdays session a resolu-
ton was adopted asking for an amend
ment Of all patent and copyright laws,
so as to make it possible for any one
to manufacture any commodity COW
cred by such laws by paying the in
ventor 5 per cent royalty or gradu
ated royalty, in order to extend COM
petition. The present laws were con-
demned as monopoly.
