The Commercial Bulletin will say of the wool market: At last sufficient business has started to establish a market, with a la rue amount of staple Montana and Oregon sold to leading New England mill at 63 te 63 cents scoured basis. Unwashed delaine also moved sub stantially at 27 cents, a figure now being rejected in some quarters. Original bag Arieona sells at 60 to 62 cents clean. The deadlock between buyer and sheenuien in the West continues and many clios aie being consigned to Eastern dealers. Toe shipmsnts of wool from Boston to May 12 inclusive were 73 ,206 ,964 pounds, against 90, 900, 891 . for the same time last year. Th receints to May 12 inclusive we,re)v 8G,9l3,!582 pounds, against 122,82100 for the same period last year, It now seems apparent that the wool buying season will not open until May 24, the first sales day of the Oregon series. This one will be hold in Pendleton and on the follow ing day the buyers will go to Pilot Rock for the second sale. It is ex pected that nearly a million pounds of wool will be offered for sale in Pendleton. The Eastern Oregon clip this year is said to be the best in manv years, being of good staple and free from dirk.

Salem, Or., May 13. An act of congress approved March 15, which amends the Carey act. is regarded by the state engineer's offioe as a great boon in this state to the more rapid reclamation of ita arid lands. The act removes much of the red tape formerly necessary to withdraw acre age under the Cirey act for reclama tion and has made" it possible to withdraw lands now within a few days, temporarily, or on approval for one year, so that the state can go ahead at once and cIohb negotiations with the contractors for its irrigation. Heretofore it has been necessary to wait for all the cumbersome machinery ot the interior department to start moving and waif until surveys and investigations could be made before the state could go ahead with the project. Now the secretary of, the interior may UDon the application of the proper state officer; withdraw acreage temporarily from settlement or entry pending the investigation and the making of maps and surveys. At the end of the year the state must present its maps and plats and' apply to have the segregation per' marjently withdrawn. Under tho act as it formerly existed it was impossible to announce new reclamation projects for fear that settlers would rush in and take the land, so slow did the governmental machinery move. Now tho project will go ahead and the governmental machinrey can move at its leisure. The lands will be restored to entry if all the former requirements before demanded are not complied with with in a year, just as formerly, so .that the interests of the United States are as fully protected as before. A party of thirty Minnesota bankers and a second party of promi nent Wisconsin business men. the latter traveling under the auspices of the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce, will arrive in Portland during the first week in June. They plan to see Oregon thoroughly after partici pating in the Rose Festival.

O Sohubert and , J. S. Polheums, in spected the whole canal line Wednes day and the major approved the Smith & Jones contract, which has been completed for about a week. Although no work is being done on the canal now because of the high water, it is thought that some of it will be resumed on the higher levels sometime next month. The river at the Cascades was at a stage of 16 feet above low water yesterday and while it is almost at a state where it will be impossible to get boats through the looks, it is not thought that they have to close, as the river is falling above there. The new work on the canal for which the contract will probably be let soon will include about a mile and a half of excavation from Big Eddy. Oregon Short on Stock. In this manner the Oregon Journal reproaches the state for not raising more livestock. "Oregon husbandry received anoth-j er black eve yesterday. The day saw ! eight carloads of live hots arrive in Portland from Nebrassa and four cars of beef from California. The beef is destined for Grass Valley, almost the original home of the beef steer in Oregon, and the hogs were for the local packing plants. The hegs were auoted for the dav at 810.60 and beef at $6.50, prices that leave a splendid margin of profits for the producer. ."There is a rail haul of nearly 2000 miles from Nebraska to Oregon , and a similar transportation cost for the more than 500 miles of rail haul from California.

Nebraksa has severer and longer winters and must grow feed on hichcr priced land. The same high prices for feeds that shortened the hog and beef supply in Oregon were prevalent both in Ke- braksa and Califoraia last autumn and winter. The Oreaon farmer had splendid advantages, but failed to supply his own market, while both Nebraksa and California over-supplied theirs, and in spite of handicaps shipped their products over long distances to suoplr Oregon. It roust mean that there is a vast difference in farm methods and farm effective ness in the three states, with Oregon a poor second to both the other states. Up-to-date, Reliable and High Class Merchandise all Departments Trout Starving. Pendleton. Or., May 13. Bepoit comes from Hermiston that the thous ands of beautiful redside treat which inhabit the waters of the' reservoir on the government reclamation project out from that town are dying of starvation. They are being caught there by the score, but the flesh is soft and of a poor flavor. When countless numbers of these trout were found floundering in pools on the project last fall it was thought that - the work; of destruction'by the government engineers had been com plete and that all that had found their way into tha reservoir had died in the irriagtion ditches. However, it seems that a few thousand were left In the articfiial lake, and are now swarming at the outlet ot the feed canal in an effort to get back to the river. As the water in the reservoir is now within a few feet of the top, it will be possible to erect a fish ladder by which means they can escape. President G. I. LaDow of the local anglers' association and Deputy Fish Warden Turner are takine measures to have such a ladder constructed. The cost will be approximately $, 500.000. there will be twenty-nine spans to the structure and it must be completed by January 1, 1912. "Ihe total length is 8960 feet, or more than three-quarters of a mile. The longest span is S50 feet. t Foreign mail of the Oregon De velopment League increases at a rate that can best be described as apoaling for those who must answer the in quiry.
