NO SHEEP BUYERS in LOCAL FIELD SHIPPING SEASON AT HAND BT7T NO SIGN OF ACTIVITY Wool Producer of County Wonder ing What to Do With Surplus Stock raasaal State of Affairs Exists. Though the month for sheep ship ping has arrived, not an eastern or middle western buyer has yet appear ed in the local field. Umatilla coun ty producers of wool and mutton are therefore wondering what they are to do with their surplus stock. It has always been customary for local sheepmen to thin out their flocks for winter, during the month of September. They are always able to hold more sheep during the sum mer than they wish to carry through the winter and for that reason they ell off all their surplus lambs and old sheep during this month. In past seasons, hardly without ex eption. there have been plenty of buyers in the field who were anxious to pick up this surplus stock, ship it to the Mississippi valley states, feed a few weeks or months, as the case might be, and then dispose of their purchases in Chicago, Kansas City and the other beef and mutton cen ters. This year, the drouth which has predominated in most of the middle western states has apparently elimi nated the prospects of early feeding grounds and has caused the shippers to change their usual plans. Fortunately for the local growers, last fall's prices, especially for lambs, were especially good and they sold off everything they though they could spare. They were therefore not hit as hard by the severe winter as they otherwise would have been. This year there is an abundance of hay and the growers will be in a position to carry over a larger number of sheep if it should become necessary. Though the buyers may appear later it is hardly probable that prices will be as good this fall as they were last. Lambs which brought IS. 60 per head last September are now said to be worth - not more than 12.50. It is possible though that the arrival of the eastern buyers will be the sig nal for an increase in prices. B. R. Lewis of Hermiston, who spent Sunday in this city, went to Echo this morning, expecting to re turn this afternoon.

LOWELL FIGHTS THE ASSEMBLY (Continued from page 1.) only way to administer such rebuke is to defeat at the primaries on Sep tember 24 the men who countenanced its purposes by seeking its endorse ment It is not a question of men, but of principle. Let me express the hope, therefore, that the republican voters who stand with Roosevelt, and believe in a direct primary free and untrammeled, will defeat at the pri maries the political assembly ticket, which is Jay Bowerman for governor, Ralph Hoyt for state treasurer, Frank W. Benson for secretary of state, J. N. Hart for attorney general, W. J. Clark for state printer, and W. R. Ellis for congress. Let us stand to gether for government by all the peo ple, not by the few, and nominate Grant B. Dimlck for governor, Thom as B. Kay for state treasurer, G. Win gate for secretary of state, A. M. Crawford for attorney general, W. S. Duniway for state printer, and either Lafferty or Reed for congress, as the developments in the next ten days demonstrate which of the two may be the stronger. The hope of the assembly people is in a divided opposition in the con test for governor and congressman. We ought to have common sense enough to dissipate that hope by vot ing together. Respectfully, STEPHEN A. LOWELL. AGED WOMAN BEGGAR HAS FORTUNE HIDDEN Paris. An old beggar named Des camps died a few days ago of star vation. She was buried by the as sistance publique, and her neighbors subscribed to buy a wreath. After the funeral the miserable room occu pied by the old woman in the Ruej Vlllin was entered and when the bed was moved preparatory to disinfec tion for the room was in a disgust ing state a number of gold coins rolled to the floor. Then it was found that the old woman, who for years had scraped out a miserable existence by begging and a small allowance from the public assistance, had a little fortune of about $2800. Such cases are strikingly frequent In France. "I once knew a man who got rich picking huckleberries." How unfor tunate that he wasted his time." "Wasted his time? I said he got rich."

Two new "1911" model Franklin automobile cars which arrived in Pendleton yesterday are attracting an unusual amount of attention. One of them is owned by Sturgis brothers, who traded in their old car, while the other is owned by Walter McCorm mach, president of the Pendleton Au to company, which has a branch house in Walla Walla. The cars are gray In color and have the "torpedo" body. Teachers Will Meet in La Grande.

Cook of the Northern Illinois state normal school, is to be the principal speaker at the meeting. ABDCL ILMTD WANTED TO SEE FOR HIMSELF Constantinople. A remarkable law case Is just now arousing a great deal of ' public interest, the facts which have given rise to the action dating back to the palmy days of Sultan Ab dul Hamld. According to the statements now made, while the ex-sultan was still in power one of his favorite daughters was found to be suffering from ap pendicitis and an operation was de clared to be Imperative. The sultan, however, was unwilling to entrust his daughter to the mercy of his physi cians and surgeons in such an extrem ity without first assuring himself of their ability to perform the operation successfully, and he accordingly de manded that they should operate first in his presence, on someone else. Seeing that his majesty was obdur ate, the doctors promptly went In search of a victim, and finding at the Italian hospital a young girl, Josefa Schmolder, who had Just been dis charged after an Illness, they drove her off to the Imperial palace despite her objections, and carried her Into a room specially prepared for the op eration and removed her appendix, the sultan calmly watching the proceed ings. The operation proved quite suc cessful and the patient recovered and was sent home. Satisfied that the doctors knew their business, the sultan then per mitted them to operate on his dau ghter, who also recovered and was completely cured. Josefa Schmoliler Is now suing the doctors concerned for damages. ERROR IN MULTIPLICATION MEANS MONEY TO OFFICER Washington. An Ineffectual effort by a commissary officer In the army to multipl420 by 15 has caused some extra work for officials of the war and treasury departments. The com missary officer, who has charge of food supplies, sold 420 bottles of to mato casup at 1.5 cents a bottle and entered the amount In his accounts as $8.30. When his reports reached the auditor of the war department the keen eye of an alert clerk hit on the catsup item. He reached for pen cil and paper wrote 16 under 620 and by a careful mathematical operation proved that the receipts of the gov ernment for the catsup were, In fact, $83. The error was referred to the comptroller of the treasury whe ruled that the difference of $66.70 should be charged against the officer.

Ralph Edmunds, represent ing the Llcbler company of New Tork left today for Italy, where he is to complete arrangements for the trans port of the Italian Opera company which will produce Mascagnl's new opera "Isobel' at the New Theatre In New Tork some time in October. Mascagni is now at Piacenza with Illlca, the author of his dramatic ver. slon of Lady Godlva. Bessie Abbott, the prima donna who will create the role, Is with them working up her part under Mascagnl's direction. The famous composer is going to New Tork and will conduct the first per formance. Meanwhile the Italian press and the Italian musicians are Our New FALL CLOTHES Are Now on Display Ready for Your Inspection Men's Suits Made to Your Measure If you are hard to fit in a ready-made suit we will fit you correctly by making a suit to your exact measure.

They are very Indignant that Mascagni should allow the first performance of his opera to be given in New York. Heretofore all of his operas have been brought out in Rome. What adds to the bitterness of the quarrel Is that it is understood Mascagni had promised this new opera for the ex hibition which celebrates the anni versary of Italian Independence to be held In Rome In the spring of 1911. Immense influence has been brought to bear on Mascagni to have him break his American contract. Madame Mascagni, who has no pleasant mem orles of her last trip to America, is reluctant to have him go. The Italian press accuses the composer of lack of patriotism in selling his opera to American money mongers Instead of reserving It to add to the triumph ot the Italian celebration next spring. The king has been appealed to, it Is said, and the Italian court is using all Its Influence to keep Mascagni from giving his opera to New York. As Mascagni holds the official positi on of court musician the king has a right to his services. One of the almost certain results of the New Tork production of "isobel" will be that Mascagni will have to give up this position. Meanwhile the company is practic ally complete. With the exception of Bessie Abbott it is to be entirely Ital ian. Edmunds has also arranged with Puccini for a new opera based on an American story. The heroine will be a young Indian girl and the scenes will be laid In old California in the Mission days. FOR 1911. JULY TO BE STORMY, AUGUST COLD London. Grumblers at the stormy summer will receive little comfort from Old Moore, whose predictions for 1911 have just been published. AH hope of wearing up this summer's unwanted finery may, according to the old-established prophet, be aban doned until 1912 comes around. For, while he declares unenthusiastically that next June will be "fine," he goes on to say that July will be "unusu ally stormy," and August "cold and disappointing." The almanac appears in the old fa miliar style with the mysterious little drawings at the head of each month's page. They are as usual, weird and restless. That for September shows death In a German uniform, turning bluejackets out of something very like a sausage machine, while a dis consolate five-headed eagle looks on. This is not the only hint of war. In the July pictures two kings (fea tures indefinite) are playing at "Beggar-My-Nelghbor," with war ships for cards, and on November's page a king talks excitedly through a telephone, while an assassin creeps behind his chair. Old Moore draws attention (somewrat needlessly) to the "couple of torn cats that are carry ing on a heated discussion much to the detriment of the window panes" in this picture, but gives no hint as to their significance. A row of coronets and tall hats on a clothes line make a puzzle which is not made much easier by the Infor mation that the attacks on the house o. lords are to be continued, for who can say whether the coronets have been discarded or are merely out to air. It must be admitted that the seer preaches almost as much as he pro phesies. He has strong condemna tion for the disinclination to marry, the growth of socialism and the In crease of luxury, but in . the final hieroglyphic for 1911 he Is "proud to predict that the young men of the rto- Phone Main 45.

Say Gorman Regulations Will Block The Art. Berlin. Strong Indignation is ex pressed by German flying men at the police regulations for aeroplanlsts Is sued in a special edition of the Ber lin Gazeteer by the Oberpdalsdent of the mark of Bradenburg. Herr Wlenczler, who made a stri king flight says: "These regulations are absurd. The police of Germany seem to be trying to do all then can to hinder the progress of airmanship. We intend to send a protest to tho Oberprasldent, and if that falls the world may see the first strike of air men. "Take the regulations In turn. If we are to be fined three pounds every time the wind blows us across the limits of an aerdrome we might aa well give up 'flying. With regard to the rare flights made over towns no one would dream of making them un less he was an expert airman, tho weather conditions perfect, and tho engine working faultlessly. Besides, how can the police catch us when we are sailing over a vlllago at the height of 2000 feet? It would test even the conscience of a motor-trap policemen to Identify us. I approve of the requirement for a pilot cer tificate for . every one giving exhi bition flights, but aviation Is not yet advanced enough for a code of rules to be shaped for It.
