Prlees 8oar Swiftly.. : ;
From the coast comes the newi
that on account of the shortage of
wheat In the orient the price of
wheat In the United 8tates has goiys
up. It seems to have affected all of
Ithe markets alike . and blue stem
went up a whole cent in ! one '1 day.
This la taken as an Indication that
from now on the orient will look to
the United States for Its wheat,; un
til the market In South America be
gin unloading. It might be safely
rodlcted that before spring the price
of wheat will be In the .neighborhood
ef the dollar mark and perhaps high
er. For the man who has held on
to his rop this Is going to mean a
good many dollars over the fall
prices. .'';'""' i
Cattle and Bogs Higher. '
Cattle have brought eight cents for
eome of the, poorer grades and hogs
went up ten cents on account of the
ehortage. The receipts were not up
to the standard and bidding, was
lively. Unless the market Is flooded
with hogs before Saturday the price
will not vary greatly between now
and then.' ,
Celery Coming from California.
A carload, of celery Is on the way
to Portland from Jersey Inland, Cali
fornia, the first to be shipped since
the frost. Jersoy Island Is off thn
southern coast of California and the
frost 1b said not to have done as
Bush damage there as on the main
land. . " I "' ' '"
. Suspicions of Orange.
Four cars of good oranges are
aid to be on the track In the metro
polis, but the 'suspicion that' they
might be frozen has caused buyers
to let them severely alone. There Is
a goodly supply on the La Grande
market but It la only a question of
time when oranges will not be ob
tainable. Lemons will be so expen
sive that the refreshing drink at five
cents will not be dished out this
summer at that price unless some
other country comes to the rescue.

. Baker County Snow Bidden. !
Baker, Jan. 23. The Democrat
ays of the snow conditions here:''
According to the reports reaching
the local efflces of many of the lum
ber companies operating alonig the
line of the Sumpter valley, the snow
In the woods may necessitate a tem
porary suspension of operations. ' It
was stated that there Is five feet of
snow on the level at 'Whitney and
that It Is very difficult to handle logs,
and also that It Is becoming harder
every day to handle teams In ' the
woods. One report was to the effect
that Mien the trees are felled, they
throw the snow up waist high around,
the laborers, and that a continuance
of tile downfall, which has been
steady the past few days, will soon
make it Impossible to continue work
At Austin, where three large mills
are located, there is also consider
able difficulty but there Is not quite
so much Bnow there to hamper oper
ations. However, much more of
"the beautiful" will certaln'y cause
trouble and the lumbermen are hop
ing for a cessation of the downfall,
which is as long continued as' any nf
recent years.
WEI&HTS AND MEASURES.
Car With Whloh England's Standards
Are Preserved. ..
Bvery- twenty years government offl
rials compare the current weights and
measure with the standards, which
re sealed up In tbe staircase of the
bouse of commons. .. There are only
two standards, the pound weight and
the yard measure. Tbe standard pound
Is of platinum, which despite Its weight
Is no larger than a cubic Inch. and.
small as it Is, the metal of which it la
composed Is worth MO. Tbe standurd
yard Is a bur of bronze thirty-eight
luetic long, oir which a yard bas been
marked off In thirty-nix divisions of an
lucb. The greuteitt iMmslble care Is
taken of thane two Important articles.
Wlu-u ii coinpnrlHon Is being mude
they are handled with tongs. ' The.
pouud weight Is weighed In the most j
delicate of chemical balances, uud the
yard Is tneaxured with a micrometer.
When they are dime with the pound It
Is wrapped In a special soft paper and
laid In a silver gilt Case, which Is plac
ed In a bronze cane, this being put In a
wooden box. afterward screwed down
and sealed. The ynrd measure Is plac
ed on eight rollers In a mubognny case,
which Is carefully Mealed. Botb cases
are then put Into a leaden casket which
Is sealed by ttolileiiug. Tbe packing Is
not yet finished, however, for the lead
case Is placed In a strong oak box.
When this in screwed down It Is placed
in the bole In the wall., Tbe wall. to.
built up by a mason, and tbe standards
can only be obtained by demolishing It
once more. London Globe

A HANDICAP IN GOLF.-
It Was a Rather Mean Advantage, but
It Won the Game, ;
An unusual coif handicap was played
on one of the local links receutly. tbe
proponent of the same winning bands
down. One of the rules of golf Is that
one must not tnlk to a player wben be
Is about to make a drive, nor must oth
ers discuss uuy subject In bis bearing.
It might, take tils uiliid off tbe game for
Just an Instant, aud that might prove
fatal. '
In Kansas City lives a crack but ex
tremely ' nervous go J enthusiast. He
bad been in the bablt of beating a fat
and phlegmatic friend until tbe latter
tired of It , ' ' -
"I'll tell you what I'll do," tbe friend
said net long ago, "I will play you
eighteen holes if you will give me a
handicap." ., , . . .. -
'"Done.", 'said tbe nervous player
"Name the handicap.".. ' 't .
"Three times during the garnet and
not more than three, I am to be per
mitted to stand behind yon and say
"BooT ' while " you are : preparing to
drlvo."' " ' . ;,' , . , -
Every' time It was the nervous man's
play bis fnt friend walked up and Just
stood behind him. Never once during
tbe game did tbe fat man say "Boo!"
or anything else. But the anticipation
at the expected "Cttol"; was fairly
nerve shattering, and the fat man won
hands' down. Kansas City Journal.
