LOCAL MEN "BUMPED"
WHEN MARKET WAS Low

At least two local farmers were
bumped" by selling wheat at low fig
ures while the bears were in control
recently and they must now sit by and
see the wheat price soar again after
having sold. One man is known to
have sold club at a price of $l.lO
here whereas on the present basis
club is worth something like $3.50 and
the price is rising almost daily. An
other farmer sold bluestem recently
at $l.15 whereas bluestem sold in
Portland yesterday at SLAB which
means price in the neighborhood of
$1SS Pendleton.
A feature of the wheat market is
the fact the price is now going up
under the very identical war conditi-
ons that were supposed to have caus-
ed the decline The blockade is still
on, the Dardanelles are yet unopened
and there is still shortage Of ships.

WASHINGTON. March 11.-Presi-
dent Wilson has ordered that a
searching inquiry be made into all
the facts connected with the sinking
OF the American sailing ship William
p. Frye by the German converted
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich in the
south Atlantic.
THE most exhaustive investigation
will be made" declared the president.
Whatever action will be taken will
be based upon the result Of this in
vestigation."
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan will cooperate in the in
quiry.
Administration officials believe
that eventually Germany will recon-
pense the United States for the loss
of the Frye.
There was no doubt here but that
the United States will voice protest
but what form the protest will take
is as yet uncertain.
The Berlin government is expected
to accept such representations in an
amicable spirit since 1t has expressed
its willingness to conform to the rules
Of international conduct as prescrib-
ed by the declaration of London.
That Captain Thierichens has exceed
ed his authority is generally assert
ed here.
Federal. officials are confident that
the Eitel would intern. The vessel
is in bad shape. Added to this is the
fact that three British cruisers are
waiting off the Virginia coast. The
Britishers are expected to influence
the German admiralty TO issue orders
for the Eitel to remain in port.
The collector of the port at New
port News has informed Captain
of the German cruiser
that the United States will permit
only such repairs being made as will
make the vessel seaworthy.

The bedraggled crowd, which had spent the night in drinking places, sang ribaId songs and from time to time shouted for Deib1er, the execu- tioner, eswho meanwhile was explaining themechanisIn.
 "The basket in which the head was to-dropEwas brought, and while looking at.it Twas mortified to see the lid arise and a human form emerge. Don't worry said Deibler with smile; that is only my wife, who wanted to see the execution, and I chose the simplest way-to secure good place for her."
