Hay and Jn. kson, and Tliolr Dog, Who Are Walking 0000 Miles for a Wager,
ker's mother and
sister.
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. It
would require a long story to picture
all their journey, but the men will lec
ture of the letter Is unknown to them
features of It.

Wnolgrowers from all over the west
are meeting here today with the exe-

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.
The meeting here todsy Is a recogni
tion of whst has already been accom
plished by the Utah sheepmen, and
marks the beginning of the movement
for making the storage movement of
national extent.
