4 GIFT WORTH WHILE.

The $3.50. 900 which the University OF
Missouri will receive from the estate
of Charles II. Gregory to establish
scholarships for needy students will
DO a great work.
If the money should net only per
cent interest. the income will be suiii-
cient to provide scholarships worth
$3.50 year TO forty persons, should
the money be disposed of after such a
plan.
Mr.. Gregory will always be COM
memorated by the bequeSt, for the
fund will be permanent and those who
are helped will not forget it. This is
giving which will result in real serv-
ice for young Missourians; this is an
admirable way to dispose of money.

4 MILLION ANCESTORS.

twenty generations back. A contrib

retical on account of intermarriage,
which would reduce it. Still the num-
ber in twenty generations would be
tremendous. 1t would no doubt be in
the thousands, and for many Ameri-
cans. who are usually a mixture of
several bloods, it would probably be
in the hundreds of thousands. So the
expression. million ancestors for
each person, is probably near the
truth.

The man with the animal curiosities

west of Main on Alta street yesterday
afternoon and soon his open-air voice
could be heard sending out its invita-

Being a ventriloquist he had held

Small Nations for Alliance.

BERLIN, Germany, June ia
new factor of importance in European
politics consists of the active alliance
their neutrality. The correspondent
of The Daily News learns that nego-
tiations are in progress between Hol-
land. Switzerland, Denmark and Swe-
den and that they will ultimately in'
clude Norway and Belgium. They
contemplate an entente with the pro-
vision that in the event of any small
nations being attacked by a large
nation all other members of the alli-
ance will attack the aggressor.
AS the small nations of Europe have
combined force almost as large as
that of Russia or Germany. such an
entente would result. it Is contended
in the safety of the minor nations
Heretofore these have felt that their
security lay in the jealousy of the
powers, but ever since Japan became
world factor Holland has been in
terror of losing her colonies. Sweden
also has been in fear of Russia.
Holland had about decided to build
five dreadnaughts which would have
become the nucleus of a new small
nations navy when it was decided to
postpone action until England could
determine which was to be the war
ship of the future-the dreadnaught
or the submarine. 1t is not expected
that such an extent as that in view
can be completed or officially an
nounced for some time.

NEWS OF FARM AND RANGE
100000 POUNDS OF
SHAN|K0 WOOL SOLD
PRICES PAID LOWER THAN AT
FIRST SALE; LESS. COM
PETITION SHOWN.

A special report to the East Ore
gonian, through the United Press.
shows the wool sale at Shaniko to-
oay to have netted lower prices to
the grower than were given at the
first sale. The lower prices paid is
attributed to the fact there is now less
competition for wool, some of the |
previous bidders, not being at this |
sale. The Shaniko report says:
About two hundred thousand pounds
of wool was sold here today cleaning
season. The price paid was about two
cents lower than the first sale. The
following clips were purchased:
BY Livingstone; r. Arnwine eigh-
teen thousand pounds at II ga; $. j,
Connolly, seventeen thouand at IS lis;

Much Wheat Contracted-Yester-
days estimate by this paper as to the
amount of unharyested wheat con-
tracted for here did not overstate the
case. 1t is said on thoroughly reli-
able authority that between 250,000
and 800, 900 bushels have been sold
| at 20 cents. The source of the buy
| ing was as stated yesterday though
other houses have also done some con.
| tracing. The market is still open at
10 cents though it is possible delivery
requirements might not be satisfac-
tory to some farmers. Some time ago
it would have been possible for farm
ers to have contracted at prices better
than 20 cents. They would not do so
then but the subsequent reports to
an expected bumper crop has caused
them to relax their hold somewhat.
