Though they were In the valley, as announced In last evening's Observer, R. E. Hay and William Jackson, the Seattle athletes who are tramping over a good portion or tne continent for a wager of $2500, did not arrive In he city last evening. They spent the night In Union and promptly at 7 o'clock headed toward La Grande, by the tie-counting method. A' large dog belonging to the boys had been sent on ahead by exr 'ss. and reached the express office this morning, where It was accepted persomiily by the boys this afternoon, who :":-! ved at 1:30. They enjoyed the hospitality of the management of the Hot. Luke sanato rium. After resting for a few hours here this afternoon they tn"t for Pendle ton again. The young men are carrying but lit tle luggage. In fact, almost nothing. When they approached the city this afternoon they were going at a lively gait, though their, regular pace Is four miles an hour. So long have they been "hoofing it" that they never vary from that pace when on the -road. They are not to beg for food, as ex plained In The Observer last evening, but this Is their least trouble. They must return to Seattle by September 4 with $50 each, and at present they have but $40. The last named provis ion Is the only thing that will stand between them and their wager money If health continues to remain with them. Browned to the color of an Indian, small of stature and wiry of sinew, the boys make a characteristic appear ance on the street, and to, those who knew not their Identity, . there was considerable wonderment over their business. They have experienced many hu morous Incidents In their travels on foot from Seattle to Chicago, through Kansas City and back over the Bad Lands to La Grande. The recent days have been marked by a peculiar fact. They carry a letter of Introduc tion to Japanese,. aid wherever they present their letter to the leader of the Japanese colonies, they are Immedi ately presented With money. The na- tur of the letter Is unknown to them and no Jap has yet been found who will Interpret the meaning of the epis tle. Their dog Is a faithful companion though he sometimes gives out, and they are forced to express him on ahead of them. - - The young men will be at the Pas time tonight and at each performance will give a vivid description of the In teresting part of their Journey.

Woolgrowers' asH-lutlon to consider plans for a national wool storage movement. If the scheme Is put Into effect, sheepmen say, It will put an nd to the bear movement In the wool market which takes place at shearing time every spring and usually results In heavy losses by the woolgrowers of tha west. Wood warehouses will be established at central points through out the country, where the wool will be stored until such time as the grow ers are offered what they consider a fair price. Cotton growers of the outh. by means of their union, hav for year used the same plan, and the sheepmen believe that It will be fully as effective when applied to the wool growing Industry, Secretary C B. Stewart, of the Utah Woolgrowers' association, leader II the 'woolgrowers' trust" movement, declare that tha aheepmea In thai Ut war offered eight cents a pound tor their clip Just after bearrnf time, have netter 1V cents a pound through the storage movement, sav ing V, cents a pound above the price first offered, which would otherwise have been pocketed by the buyers.
