A II communication! should be addressed to I n PRESS Athena, Oregon ATHENA, AUGUST 21,. ... . 1908 There are many different ways of look ing at the matter of farmers holding on to their wheat for increise in price, thial being the way the Pendleton Tribune looks at it: "The bullish tendency of the wheat market may cause many farm ers to hold their wheat for unreasonable prices. . Not a few said they would sell for 70 cents, but last sales for that price are hardly to be mentioned. It is only . good sense for the raiser to get as much as he can but it is nothing short of gamb ling in many cases to hold. If the farm er can afford to pay interest, stand off his creditors, etc., and speculate on the market, especially when it goes above 70 cents, that is his own business, but plain ly speaking, wheat should "commence to move." Every indication points to a price bet ter than 70 cents for wheat, and it's safe to wager that if the Tribune man had wheat to sell he ' would be "gambling" along with the farmer. That wheat is sure to go up in price, the action of Cal fornia millers combining to control vir tually the wheat crop of the state, is to be considered a flattering indication, The fleets headed for California ports, will now be compelled to seek cargos for foreign shipment either at Portland or on the Sound. The California exporter necessarily need not be idle, for the local markets of Oregon and Washington have wheat to sell and the highest bidder will get It. However, with wheat at 70 cents there remains no excuse for non-payment of his obligations, and the farmer should sell enough wheat to satisfy his bill with the merchant and others, or borrow the money at the bank for liqui ilation purposes. Tell it not to Roosevelt! A woman of Michigan who is "authority on . child, study" is oppoBod to large families be cause of the dangor of degeneracy to iue children. Commenting on the case of the 11-year-old child at Los Angeles who tried to kill her guardians, foster purents and five guests by putting poi s n in their food that 'she might enjoy their agonies she scys; "The fact that the child was one of a family of fifteen children may have been the explanation of her state. The mother's vitality luust have been so exhausted that the girl lucked something in body and mind. When more than seven children are born in a family, all but the first six are apt t be stupid or frail." Certain sci entists support this view, If there is physical lack in the later births there A ill, of course, be mental or moral lack. The moral sense of the family may have "ruu out." Sometimes, say these sci entists, the spiritual and mental traits of a targe family are exhausted, and the result is a degeneratean idiot or a criminal. Ingenius theory. Only it mii 't true. A large percentage of idiots are first-born. Some of the best and greatest men of history have been the youngest sons of large families. If the breed is bad, the less children the batter. If the breed is good, there can not le too many. It all depends on the t'l''l)i. A game warden at Walla Walla pro poses to instigate a crusade against the practice of those in whom riparian right is vested, in allowing trout to enter ir rigating ditches. This method of tlsh extermination has been ooticable for years, and that it is far more destructive than angling, is now a well established fact. This warden proposes to force owners of ditches to place screens at the point where the ditch takes water from the river. It is poor policy for the gov ernment to expend vast sums of money for the increase of fish in depleted rivers aud streams without first curtailing this lestructive source of depletion. :r-irw Carnegie has given $2,500, J u 5 per cent United States bonds to his native town in Scotland. "How much money baa Mr. Caruegie given to the poor devils from whom he made his fabulous ' wealth," "asks the Heppner Gazette. "Has be ever given to people who are in actual need. Who gave the money to the Heppner flood sufferers? It was the common people who divided with us. Carnegie will need his money to buy ice with." The new rate on flour and wheat to the orient is said to have stimulated the transpacific trade and it is announced that another steamship will be needed to handle the freight offered on the line that is operated in connection with the O. K. k N. from Portland. There is likely to be a similar demand for space on other northern' lines, which Will mean a considerable increase in the already promising oriental business. Otis Patterson, formerly of the Hepp ner Gazette, will again launch in the newspaper business. Associated with Walter Lyon, former private secretary of Governor Geer, they have purchased the Daily Astorian at Astoria. Both are able and well known newspaper men and ought to succeed. The many friends of Alex M cite a in this county, will be pleased to learn that his inventive genius is to be rewarded with success and fortune. His combi ned harvester has with the exception of a few minor alterations, operated suc cessfully every day since the opening of harvest. Moonlight rides in an airship will never become popular with the Ameri can girl unless the machine can be man aged with one hand.
