WAS REUNION OF oLD.T1MERs

w fAO NGOINxOIN UT OAOs XMEnS
Besides a number of former Big
Benders from distant points, they
came from all along the C. w. rail-
way, as well as from Spokane.
Neither Judge Mount nor E. F.
Benson was permitted to attend,
but their places were ably supplied
by Mr.. Favelle, editor of the West
ern Farmer, and Harry ]. Hibsch-
man. of Spokane, one time a resi-
dent of Wilbur.
The days entertainment began
with music by the band, on the
street. Immediately after that, the
picnickers motored to the old fair
ground, where the mahy spreads
were laid and everybody ate their
fill.
Converting the assembly at the
speakers stand, G. M. Wilson,
president Of the association, made
an appropriate opening address,
introducing Mr.. Flavelle, who made
an exceedingly interesting talk.
Harry j. Hibschman followed in a
patriotic Grafton, viewing the war
and its causes from the standpoint
of both the contending groups, then
outlining the duties OF American til
liens and of all other residents dun
ig the pending crisis. Those situ-
ated to hear distinctly, pronounced
Mr.. Hibschman's remarks q, among
the best they have heard on the
subject. Those who have known
him since he first came to Wilbur
were much surprised by his orato:y
Other features were music by the
Ladies' Quartette, a flute solo by
Prof. Guy of Whitworth college,
Spokane, vocal duet by lady and
gentleman from Spokane, and all
interspersed by music of the Wilbur
orchestra.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dougherty, of Mes
pelem occupied the seat of honor as
the oldest pioneers present. Mr..
Dougherty crossed the Rockies, To-
eating at what is now known as Spo-
kane Bridge in 1869, and has lived
in Eastern Washington ever since.
The final number, which fur
nished much amusement, was the
ball game between old timers of
Wilbur and Almira. The visitors
walked away with the honors in a
score of II to &.
Owing to the hot weather, per-
haps, the attendance was not equal
to that of last year, when the picnic
was held late in June. However,
there was goodly crowd present,
and the majority report genuine
picnic time.

THE PORTLAND STOCK MARKET
JULY 1917


The receipts at the Portland In
ion Stock Yards yesterday we're the
heaviest since December 4th, 1916.
The run Of cattle totaled 1000 in
Guiding car load lots with fewer tail
end steers than usual and Il heavier
per cent of fairly gooI cattle. The
run of stoche,s md feeders was
smaller AMI Of better quality than
the corresponding type of stock last
week. There were list hogs and
only $50 shcap offered.
CATTLE
The conditions at the opening of
the market were generally slow with
an inclination on the part of buyers
to continue the decline which set
in last week.
There was a brisk demand for
really good beef steers, and the best
offered were taken readily at 10 cts.
The highest load sale was $50 or
35cts. lower than the best car sale
of the previous week. The general
indications are for 25ct. cut in
price of good beef steers. Common
to medium steers are in less demand
and are suffering depreciation of
Scots. from last weeks open market.
Cows and heifers are going at 50
cts. lower than the opening of last
week as there is : good supply of
commons with only a few loads of
really good cows.
Bulls continue steady at a decline
of Is to IS cts. and calves continue
steady.~ Quotations for today are as
follows:- Receipts, 1912; tone of
market slow, 25cts. @ so cts. lower;
best beef steers $50 q 1000; good
beef steers $50 a 900; best beef
cows $50 a $50; ordinary to good
cows 500 a 600; best heifer $50

@ $50; stocker and feeder steers
600 q 700; stocker and feeder cows

HOG
The hold-over on hogs got a
shock when the market opened this
week with a heavy supply and a %
ct. to 40 cts. decrease in price offer
ed from the close of last weeks mar
ket. Compared with the opening Of
last week, prices have suffered a
little decline being quoted as fol-
lows for this weeks opening and
topping at $685. Receipts 1922;

and sinking. Her periscOpe shot
through the waves, the only target,
and in the coming tower Donald sat
with his eyes fast on the mirror.
Ten feet below the surface the F55
plunged on toward the monarch of the
sea.
The sound of the guns was vastly
louder under the waves. A single shot,
sent home, would smash through the
thin plates as if they were of paper.
But Donald knew that it was the su-
preme moment when danger must be
ignored. He seemed to sense the ship,
the crew, as q single entity, devoted
to a single purpose. He aimed his
bow directly into his enemy's port
flank. Sc was less than Il mile away.
At that distance it seemed a miracle
that her shells failed to strike home.
Down in the torpedo room three
men bore a torpedo from the rack and
placed it in the sings. They swung
it forward into the breech of the tube.
One man at the pump rapidly filled the
breech chamber with the compressed
air that was to send the missile upon
its course.
Donald, in the coming tower, still
held the cruiser within the mirror. He
saw the smoke coil from her guns, he
heard their dull reverberatiOn, and
knew that at any moment the blinded
Foo might be sent staggering to her
death through the wake of her wash.
But he was animated by the single
minded purpose which inspired all and
made the steel and human mechanism
a bolt forged for death.
Clouts, at the wheel, did not allow
the little craft to deviate Il hairs
breadth from her course.
Stand byT'
The hiss of the oxygen apparatus
dominated all other sounds. At her
45-knot speed the missile left the
launching tube with a heavy thud, and
the ship quivered as she shook herself
free.
And Donald knew that his shot had
gone home.
The whfr grew less, but all listened
until the end Of the mile-long Journey
On board the enemy ship everyone
could see the air bubbles that came up
from the speeding missile and its
white, fOaming wake. There was no
time to maneuver the giant ship. They

BLOW TO KANSAS DRINKERS
Declares the State Bone Dry
law is Valid.

The Kansas. Bone Dry Law with.
stood an attack on its constitutional
ity in the Crawford County District
Court at Girard the other day, Judge
A J. Curran presiding. E. l. Burton
of Parsons, former member Of the
legislature. led the legal assault on
the measure in the case of AdoIph
Kurent Of Breezy Hill, charged with
a violation Of the law. Burton alleged
that the last legislature exceeded its
police power in passing the law Hav-
ing liquor in ones possession does not
affect the morals of the community,
Burton argued. He asserted the state
had no power to go into mans home
in such a manner as the Bone Dry
Law provides.
Judge Curran held that the legisla-
ture, rather than the courts, should
determine the scope OF the exercise
Of the police power. Notice was given
Of an appeal TO the supreme court.
This case is expected to serve as the
test case on the constitutionality Of
the law.

PRISONERS WENT ON STRIKE
Refused to Go Back to Jail Until One
of Their Number Was "Fired" by
Workhouse Superintendent

Perhaps the queerest strike on rec
ord was that of workhouse prisoners
in Delaware county, Indiana, recently,
when they refused to return to jail IN
less one of their number received his
freedom. And it was not that they de-
sired him to be free, either, but be-
cause they wished to be freed of his
presence.
Il had my gang of prisoners way cut
by Yorktown, working on a country
road that needed repairing" said
James Cole, workhouse superintendent,
according to the Indianapolis News,
when / noticed, about time to load
them into the automobile and bring
them back, that the prisoners were
hanging back and talking among them
selves. Finally one of them came to
me with the story and his demands.

ride back in the machine with him be
cause he has vermin in his hair and
on his body. You either let him 90 or
no more jail for US. We've agreed to
make a run for it If you don't, and
you can't catch all Of u.s.
''Of course, had no right to allow
the man his freedom" Cole continued,
but the fellow jumped up and ran
away just then and I'm bound to admit
we didn't try very hard to catch him.

WOMEN SLOWER THAN MEN
Double the Number Required IN New
York Banks, But They Are
More MethodicaI.

There is at present no woman off,
Ger OF a New York city bank. and only
one in New Jersey. but If the war
lasts long enough 1t may well be, as
it is in Canada now, that the banks
will virtually be run by women. Al
ready. 1t is estimated, 10000 women
have been taken on in the Wall street
district since the United States Ell
tered the war last April, says the New
York Evening Post.
Women are slower, but more care
fut, said an official Of the Mechanics
and Metals bank, so, although twice
as many women as men are needed
to do the same amount OF work, the
bank loses no money on extra salaries,
because the women save hundreds OF
dollars which had TO be paid to the
clearing house for the mems mistakes.
Each mistake costs 81 and the records
show that sometimes mems mistakes
cost $50 or $50 a week.
The average downtown bank has
lost 20 per cent Of its men and taken
on 40 per cent women. The Mechan-
les and Metals bank now has 90
women and they are being taken on
by tens or twenties each week. So
far these so women are taking the
places OF only SO men, which shows
the difference in rapidity. but the off,
cial OF the bank pointed out that It
would be a serious problem when the
men came home for their Jobs.

seemed permeated with the contagious
terror caused by that white, ripping
pencil line that was extending toward
their ship.
The missile struck the battle cruiser
amidships, blowing out a section of
her hull. a single water-tight compart-
ment. The cruiser hardly staggered
from the blow.
The torpedo had struck glancing,
and missed the full force of its deliv-
cry. The wound was in itself too
small to sink or even badly cripple the
great ship; triumph OF shipbuilding,
and calculated to withstand just such
an impact.
Unfortunately for her, the maximum
of the shock was received beneath the
powder room, adjacent to the ammu-
milton chamber, whose doors were
! open at that moment for the removal
of the 12-inch shells By the ammuni-
ton hoist.
The shock was followed by an inf
