Owing to the demoralized con-' dltlons in the east caused by the boycott on meat, growers as far east as Utah have been sending their stock to the coast. The result being that more cattle were received at the nf Union stock yards in Portland day before yesterday than on any day alnce their establishment With the price of hay advancing aud the price of meat declining at this season of the year, Is one of the freaks of the market, : There are reported to be less ap ples on the marrket In the Coast states at the beginning of this year than there were at the same time last year. The figures furnished by the trade are 127,000 boxes for 1910, as .: against 160,000' boxes last year. At . present Oregon has 10,000 boxes, and last year had 24,700. These figures . represent the cold storage stocks. ' 0 , Those who have taken their an. nual inventories will never have any regret in looking over their balances for the year 1909. But better yet the year 1910 starts or with prlmlse of still greater activity. Our banks re full of money, everything that we produce commands fancy 'prices and from a coiuerclal standpoint there are bo clouds on the horizon of 1910. ...

Following a failure of President Taft to Induce the Insurgents to compromise on the house rules aDd a threat by Speaker Cannon that he' would resign the Speakership 'f he was removed from membership .jf the rules committee, war between the insurgents and the regulars Is bitterer than ever. "We will accept no compromise unless it means that the speaker is removed from the rules committee," declared the insurgents to the presi dent "I'll resign the speakership if I am taken out of the rules committee" said Cannon to the president Taft then urged the insurgents to agree to compromise one that would require the removal of Cannon from the committee, but the insurgents re plied. "Cannon must go or we will ab solutely not compromise under any circumstances. We'll support all Taft legislation we consider good, but will not enter caucus," Is the final ultimatum of the insurgents to day. SI RWIlKli VISPIIS 1MTIIETIC SCENE ABOUTCBEB BT JnE3 TODAY.

Tlii-se rt'iiMirks are a preface to the rivlliil of uu attempt to make a fighter out or ii liiusiuiau an army musician. Jacob Gobclcr wus a bugler in one of the regular regiments. When the regt uieut wus preparing to go to Cuba at the time of the Spanish-American war be became ambitious to be a real sol dier Instead of a tooter. Ilia sergeant tId him tliut lie had better stick to bh bugle, but Jncob said that when a bugler was killed in battle there was iiJ glory In bis death. He preferred to iJle with weapous in bis hands instead of a bugle. . So-Jacob became a soldier and was in the first buttle fought after the troops lauded near gautiago. Cnfortu uutely It was his first fight, and he was rattled. Men .were being' shot down beside him by an . enemy . they could uot see. Some of the corps were get ting hnotrr othrq wpro standing J. cob got It Into bis head that he should sound a retreat. Putting bis hand back to grasp his bugle, be fouud a revolver instead. Putting the muzzle Into bis mouth, be tried to blow. In his ex citement he must have pulled the trig ger, for be was brought to his senses by feeling something warm on bis Jaw, and, putting his hand there, be found blood pouring from a hole in his cheek. The wonder was that the bullet bad not gone through the vertebrae at the back of his neck aud killed bim. Be must have blown through a corner of bis mouth, Jacob was In a hospital till prettj near the end of the war. It would have been better for him to return to the duties of a bugler, but the hole In his cheek Oidii't close up, and as attempt to blow a bugle Would send all the wind out at the side of his face instead of through his bugle. When Jacob returned to duty he found It Impossible to explain to-his comrades how bo came by the hole in bis cheek. The story got out, and he was laughed at. This fired him with a desire to redeem himself. lie longed for an opportunity, and the opportunity came. There was no lack of fighting arouud Santiago. True, the Spanish and American forces were standing off from one another, but there were sorties and charges. One day Jacob was in some very thick fighting. The colonel was racing about with bis bugler at his heels blowing his orders when suddenly the bugle dropped from bis band and he fell from bis horse. The colonel, seeing bis bugler knocked out, looked about for another, but there was none at band. The captain of Jacob's company, real izing bis predicament cried out: "We've got a bugler here, colonel. Gobeler, get .up there on that horse!" Gobeler, obedient and forgetting that he hnd been disqualified to blow or ders by his wouud. picked up the bugle, mounted the horse and placed himself dire t'.y In the colonel's rear. The Spaniards were preparing to crush the American troops on that part of the field. The colonel saw a brigade of the euemy swinging round on bis right to get in bis rear and gave Jacob au order to signal a change of front. Jacob put his bugle to bis Hps and blew, but there was uo nouud. All the wind was going out, through the bole In his cheek. . The colonel looked at him in surprise and anger. Jacob clapped bis hand to bis cheek, but did not succeed In forc ing the wind through the bugle. Shut ting his mouth, he put t lie bugle to the bole In his cheek. Since no wind could get out through his mouth it' went through his cheek. At any rate. enough of it got through the bugle to faintly sound the colonel's order. But Jacob's delay gave the enemy an ad vantage that pretty nearly caused the capture of the regiment It was saved only by support coming In the nick of time. When the fighting was over the colonel called out to Jacob's cap tain: "Keep that man in the ranks, cap tain. He's no good for a bugler." "lie was a good bugler, colonel, but be insisted on going into the ranks. The first thing he did was to try to blow a signal ou his pistol and shot a hole lu his cheek. Now he's no good for either a soldier or a bugler." After this episode Jacob was so ridi culed by the men that be tried to get himself killed In order to escape their Jokes. To make matters worse It seem ed that all the buglera In the army were getting shot, and the command ing officers were always sending for men who could sound the calls. It was constantly: "Say, Gobeler, yon can blow a bugle, can't you? Oh, I forgot Idu ruined your wind trying to blow down the muzzle of a pistol." These and other references to his misfortune o worked upon Jacob that he gate tp ttllst LQ bfi A twtP JDdsonci2dedlo Not a Suffrsgift Yet. . j. , During a presidential campaign thi? qiiestlon of woman suffrage was much discussed among women pro and con. and at an afternoon tea the convener tlon turned that way among the wo men guests. "Are you a woman suffragist?" asked the one who was most interested, "Indeed. 1 am not. replied the otbet most emphatically. "Oh. that's too bad! But just sup posing you were, whom would yon sup port In the present campaign?" "The same man I've always support ed, of course." was the apt reply "my hsl)and."-LadieR' Home Journal. His Son Andy.

That be privately rejoiced in his son's prowess the stu dents learned lu this way: Jimmy, as tue president was la mil larly called, though exceedingly cour teous, was glveu to 'fits of abstraction lu which he entirely forgot' his sur ronndlngs. , Once at a reception in his home, op parently forgetful of all the world, he was pacing up and down the room with head bent and hands interlocked behind bis back. Suddenly he walked up before a young lady and asked: "How tall are ye?" In an embarrassed way she replied "Why. doctor, I'm-I'm Ave feet two Inches." "lie Sou Andy couid jump' oVef Jel head," said the doctor and immediate ly resumed his walk. ''An Aid to Digestion. The Blanks had invited a guest t dluner.
