iO WATER BIG AREA,
Pendleton Comnany Will Also
People 27,000 Acres.
NONE'OF THE TRACT FOR SALE
It Is Proponed to Enprnpe in the
KnialxiK of FrnitM nnd Vege
table and Livestock: on a
Large Scale. '
PENDLETON. Or., Jan. 24. The Oregon
!Land & "Water Company, of -which F. B.
Holcomb is manager, has bought 27,000
acres of arid land from C. B. Wade,
cashier of the First National Bank of
Pendleton, which it proposes to xlace
under water, and people with colonists
from. Fresno, Cal., as well as from other
localities, where men can be found who
are experts in the raising of fruits and
vegetables. The company already owns
a large area of land, together. with a ditch
Just below Umatilla, lying partly in this
county, and partly in Morrow. The ditch
and contiguous lands were bought last
year from the company formed by D. W.
Bailey, and represented the outlay of
much money. At this time the ditch is
being repaired and placed in condition
to put a large area of the land, under
water. Under the former management
the ditch was operated sufficiently to
demonstrate that the land will raise al
most anything produced in this zone.
The company offers no land for sale, in
tending to carry on a business of its own,
and to engage in the breeding of livestock,
as well as the raising of garden and or
chard products. A large portion of the
27,000-aere tract will be fit for pasturage
when it has been somewhat restored to
the condition in which it was before the
bunchgrass was eaten off by stock. The
experiments of the company will be of
value in another manner, by proving
whether the thousands of acres of land
once rich in bunchgrass, but now almost
barren of vegetation, may be restored.
Quality of "Wool Sare to Be Good.
Umatilla County had on January 1, 1502,
according: to the report of Stock Inspector
J. E. Bean, 241,700 sheep. One year pre
viously there were 219,700. The gain for
the year is 22,000. Mr. Bean reports that
he found only about 2000 sheep being fed
for the Spring mutton market. The sheep
of the county he found to be owned by
150 men or concerns, of which the heaviest
are: Charles Cunningham, 19,000; J. E.
Smith, 14,000; Hugg Bros., 12,000; William
Slusher, 10,000; E. Boettcher, 14,000, these
beinjr all who own 10,000 or more.
Inspector Bean and all who have ob
served the conditions in this region assert
that the quality of the wool Is sure to be
good next Spring. The weather during
the Winter has been favorable, uld the
growth of the wool fiber has, therefore,
been even. This also conduces to heavy
fleeces so that, when all the conditions
are taken into account, the woofcnen are
Well satisfied with their situation.
Farmer to IluIId Telephone Line.
Dr. C. J. Smith, Adam Ruppe, William
McCormmach, E. L. Smlth and others
owning farming lands in Umatilla County
north of Pendleton will build a telephone
line to Juniper, a distance of 20 miles. It
will be owned and controlled by the ranch
ers. The line is to be built, so the pro
jectors say. because .the farmers desire
that they may get the daily market quo
tations from Pendleton.
Flue Church for Indian.'
Indians belonging to the Presbyterian
Mission Church, on the Umatilla reserva
tion here, have contributed $200 towards
the construction of an edifice, to be built
during the coming Summer. It is to cost
$15,000. The Rev. J. C. Cornelison is pas
tor. He has served only two years, but
has completely mastered the language.
Action for a Receiver.
Sam P. Purday, of Athena, today filed
an application for a receiver for the
Athena Flouring Mill Company, a con
cern operating a mill there. It Is under
stood that this action was precipitated
by a suit begun yesterday by J. M.
Walker, of Athena, who seeks to recover
$3500 worth of wheat or its value. He al
leges that he has received only about $500
worth back from his crops of three years
past, which were stored with the mill.
The company has been presumed to be sol
vent, and the action today caused much
surprise here. The complaint accompany
ing the application for a receiver alleges
fraud on the part of the mill company in
unlawfully converting C000 sacks of wheat
belonging to J. M. Walker and 440 sacks
of barley belonging to Charles Brown.
Numerous other lots owned by various
farmers are also said to be missing.
Chargre 3Iny Be Dropped.
It is stated that the charge of criminal
Intimacy preferred against the Rev. Mr.
Harris, of Cove, will not come to trial.
Rev. Mr. Harris is the principal of the
academy, at Cove, .and the preferring of
the charge against him created quite a
sensation. It Is now said that it was
trumped up by his enemies.

No-iv Tr? Ins: Cases in 10 to 11 Months
After They Are Ready.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 24.-n yesterday's
correspondence from Salem it was stated
Incidentally that the Supreme Court Is IS
months behind in its work. This state
ment was made upon the latest informa
tion, but it is learned that the court is
now trying cases in 10 to 11 months after
they are ready for trial. Three years ago
the Supreme Court was about two years
behind. It should be explained also that
the time a case is pending in. the Supreme
Court depends to a1 great extent upon the
attorneys. For example, one of the cases
that are to be tried February 3 to G was
appealed to the Supreme Court as long
ago as July 1900, but owing to delay on
the part of the attorneys in filing their
briefs, the ca&e was not ready for trial
until March, 1901. Another case to be
tried early in February was appealed to
the Supreme Court March S. 1901, and was
ready for trial April 29. The latter case
will be decided about a year after It was
appealed, and about 10 months after it was
ready for trial.
The Supreme Court is, therefore, rapidly
catching up with Its work, and will soon
be trying cases as soon as they are.ready
for trial. The court has been enabled
to gain on the work before It in two ways
Increased clerical assistance has enabled
the court to do more work, and fewer ap
peals have left less for the court to do.
EXAMINATION QUESTIONS CUT.

WILL BUILD BIG BARGES
,PLANS FOR REVOLUTIONIZING PA
CIFIC COAST LUMBER TRADE.
Company Will Also Build Logr Rafts
and a Monster Tbk for Towing
Them Marine Notes.
Details are being perfected in this city
for one of the largest marine enterprises
on the Pacific Coast. If the plans are car
ried through as now outlined, the lumber
carrying trade of the Pacific will be revo
lutionized. A. B. Hammond is said to
be at the head of the enterprise, and the
company over which he will preside is
making preliminary arrangements for the
construction of five mammoth barges and
a steamer to be used In towing them back
and forth between the Columbia River and
San Francisco. These barges will have a
house at the headwaters of the Mollala.
Then the shlpbroHers fends these figures
back to Europe and the shipowners mark
rates up to 40 shlllln's and better, and
ships begin blowin' this way, in squads.
. .

Blmeby the season works round to where
the botoms of the wheat bins show, and
the railroad companies, havin pretty
close tabs on wheat, can't And that 53.2S1,
965& bushels. Then a feller what was
buyln' wheat when the editor of the
dodger was suckin' the nipple of a milk
bottle, writes him a letter and asks him if
he couldn't knock oft a few bushels from
the big figures, and tells him if he can't
that we will need about a hundred more
shins and rates will go up a jumiiln,'. The
editor was a good deal of an Indian, and
his motto was that when you're playing a
string game, keep on stringln' 'em as
long as they'll stand it, so he called the
bluff like this: 'By wireless telegraphy wo
have received advlcelc&s advices from
steety steen of our correspondents and
find that there is no reason for changing
the figures.' Then the old-timer in the
biz cables to Europe in cypher something
which means: 'Leo the Lyin is lyin', and
10,000,000 of his wheat crop can be shipped
as compressed air, for which we don't
need ships, and the next day shipown
ers were burnln' the wires with cables of
ferln ships at 30 shlllln's and under."
AMERICAN SHIP'S WANDERINGS.
Benjamin Sewnll Finds Profitable
Business Beyond Protected Zone.
There Is at, least one American ship
owner who does not believe in the theory
that an American ship must stay In the
protected coasting "zone" In order to
make money. The fallacy of this theory
was never more thoroughly exposed than
in the case of the American, ship Benjamin
Sewall, now In distress at Honolulu. Ex
cept for reporting, but not entering at
Port Townsend, this vessel has not
carrying capacity of from 1,500.000 to 2,500.
000 feet of lumber, and the steamer which
will be used in towing them will also have
a carrying capacity of about 1.000.000 feet
of lumber. The latter will also be used
In towing log rafts between the Colum
bia River and the California points, and
plans hnve already been completed for
the construction of a cradle to be used In.
the construction of mammoth log rafts.
The rafts 'will be 750 feet long, 52 feet
beam and 21 feet depth, and will contain
over 000,000 lineal feet of logs or piling.
The steamer which will be built will be
specially adapted for the work of towing
big rafts and barges, and will have a
bunker capacity of about 2000 tons of coal.
This will enable her if necessary to tow
a barge of lumber or a raft to Honolulu.
The business of towing lumber to San
Francisco on barges has been tried and
found to be entirely practical, the tug
Samson towing quite a number of them to
San Francisco about two years ago. As
the lumber was moved at a very small
cost with only 1,000,000 feet on a barge. It is
thought that the profits on a 2,500,000-foot
cargo will" be much greater. Mr. Ham
mond is said to have larger timber hold
ings than any other man In the State of
Oregon, and when he gets thoroughly at
work In turning the timber Into lumber
will undoubtedly keep all of his equipment
busy carrying it to market. If this new
method of ocean carrying should prove as
profitable as It promises to be It will cause
the retirement from the business of a large
fleet of schooners, barkentines and steam
coasters.
RELIC 0"F THE ALABAMA.
Old Clipper Dashing1 "Wave Carried a
Cannon Ball From the Privateer.
The workmen who are fitting up the
ship Dashing Wave, at an Oakland ship
yard, had a surprise the other day, says
the San Francisco Bulletin. While tear
ing out some of the old lumber they dis
covered a cannon ball Imbedded In the
wood, high In the stern.
Captain Lancaster was very much In
terested, and looked up the history of the
vessel. He found that during the Civil
War the Dashing Wave had been almost
destroyed by the Alabama. Undoubtedly
the-cannon ball found -was shot into the
Dashing Wave during the battle with that
ship.
In the attempt to destroy the merchant
vessels of the North, the Alabama chased
nearly every vessel In the merchant ma
rine of the Union The Dashing Wave
outsailed the Confederate vessel, and
thereby escaped destruction. For that
reason the Dashing Wave 'was considered
an unusually fine vessel. After her en
counter with the Alabama the holes In
her bull were repaired, .and new iron
plates were fastened on the outside. The
workmen evidently did not hunt for the
cannon ball that had made the hole In
the ship. As it was high up, and not in
the way of freight. It was not discovered
until the other day.
The Dashing Wave was built at Ports
mouth In 1S53. She was one of. the old
clipper ships, of which class there are but
few left. At the time of the Civil War
she was in the Atlantic Coast trade.
Some years after her encounter with
the Alabama the Dashing Wave was used
as a general merchandise vessel between
New York and Ban Francisco. 6
After the Dashing Wave had been in
th!a trade about 25 years she was put Into
the lumber trade. After being repaired at
the Oakland yard she will go to Tacoma,
whence she will carry lumber to the
Southern cities.
It Is the intention of the owners of the
Dashing Wave to present the cannon'ball
to the museum at Golden Gate Park.
"WHY FREIGHTS DECLINED.
William Barnacle, Able Seaman, Of
fers Some Light on the Subject.
The paralyzing drop In ocean freights
from 35. shillings to 23s 9d In less -than a
week Is still a theme for discussion in
shipping circles, and many theories arc
advanced for what sporting men would
term the sudden "reversal of form." As
the brakemen and engine-wipers generally
know more about the policy and move
ments of the railroad company than can
be gleaned from the president's office, so
it frequently happens that the men be
fore the mast are In. closer touch with the
shipping business than the masters or
agents. Mr. William Barnacle. A. B., on
ono of the disengaged ships In port, on
being asked regarding this strange sit
uation responded as follows:
"You see there's a fellow what publishes
a corn dodger, I mean a wheat dodger,
and last Fall he takes a trip up the coun
try as far as Grcsham and comes back
and says in the dodger that the wheat
crop of 1S01 In Oregon, Washington- and
Idaho was 52,2S1,S6S& bushels, this not In

tho shelf in old man Smlthers' chicken
touched at an American port for nearly
four years, although she has been con
stantly moving in various parts of the
world. The vessel was formerly a well
known wheat trader out of this port, and
both ship and owner, Captain Arthur Se
wall, are well known here. She sailed
from Baltimore in February. IBS. for Aus
tralia, and from there proceeded to Ro
sario, leaving the latter port September
1 for Mauritius, where she arrived Oc
tober 29. She sailed from Mauritius De
cember 27 for Maulman, going from tho
latter port to Singapore. From Singa
pore she proceeded in June, 1S9, to Mau
ritius, thence to Bunbury, sailing from
the latter port in October for Algoa Bay,
South Africa. In May, 1900, she sailed
from Algoa Bay for Newcastle, N. S. W..
where she loaded for Hong Kong. On ar
rival at the latter port she was sent to
Singapore, and loaded again for Hong
Kong, thence coming across the Pacific
In ballast to "Vancouver, B. C. At Port
Townsend she called for orders, and while
there Captain Sewall came aboard and
took the papers ashore, he having re
signed command of the vessel in Hong
Kong. On account of the absence of the
papers showing the crew list from the
last American port, the vessel was fined
when she p"ut Into Honolulu a few weeks
ago. In a letter to the Collector of Cus
toms at Honolulu Federal Attorney Dunne
says that In his opinion no penalty should
be imposed, as it was no fault of Captain
Halsted that he -was unable to produce
tho original crew list, and as the master
of the Benjamin Sewall had done all in
his power to comply with his legal ob
ligations. STEAMSHIP MAGNATES ARRIVE.
Deny the Humors in Clrcnlatloa Re
garding a Combine.
NEW YORK. Jan. 24. The White Star
steamer Celtic arrived today from Liv
erpool and Queenstown. Among her pas
sengers were a number of English ship
ping men, whose mission, It was ru
mored, was to form a. combine of trans
Atlantic passenger and freight lines. The
parly Included the Right Hon. W. J.
Plrrle, chairman of the Harlan & Wolff
Shipbuilding Company, and director of
the Leyland and White Star lines; Henry
Wilding, of Richardson, Spencc & CO.,
English agents of the International Navi
gation Company, and who succeeded J.
R. Ellerman as chairman of the Leyland
line; and J. Bruce Ismay and W. S.
Graves, directors of the White Star line.
They are accompanied by Ralph Neville
and John Dickinson, maritime lawyers.
Mr. Ismay, when seen at Quarantine,
said:
"These same rumors were current one
year ago. but there is nothing In the re
ports. My visit here Is to study the
Celtic and fit her for a trip to the Medi
terranean. I can give no other state
ments at this time."
Grain Fleet Movements.
The British ships Glenlul and Scottish
Minstrel left down the river yesterday
morning, and the British ship Galgorm
Castle arrived up at noon. There was
no movement in the fleet at Astoria, but
a couple of vessels came up off the mouth
of the river, but did not enter. The new
comers were the Sierra Ventana and the
Lord Shaftesbury. Both have made very
good passages, the Sierra being out but
60 days from Adelaide, while the Lord
Shaftesbury is 18 days from Honolulu.
The latter has a portion of her Hamburg
cargo still on board, having discharged
some of it at the island port.
Astoria Marine Notes.
ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 24. The two-masted
schooner Wing and Wing, which has been
anchored in Young's Bay in charge of a
United States Marshal, on a libel filed
against her by the Foard & Stokes Com

DR. JOHN W. BULL
The Discoverer of the Famous
Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.
Dr. John W. Bull, who discovered DR.
BULL'S COUGH SYRUP, 50 years ago,
was the most successful doctor of throat
and lung diseases the world has ever
known. He had a National reputation
on account of the wonderful cures he made
in cases of chronic throat trouble and so
called Incurable consumption. Dr. Bull
Discovered the formula which he used so
successfully for many years, after long
practice and untiring scientific study. It
has ever since been known as DR. BUL" d
COUGH SYRUP. No other doctor or
chemist has ever been able to compound
any preparation containing the curative
qualities of DR. BULL'S COUGH SYRUP.
No other formula has ever been discovered
that so effectually cures all diseases of the
throat and luntrs as DR. BULL'S'COUGH
SYRUP. There Is no case of hoarseness,
cough, catarrh, asthma, bronchitis, quinsy,
whooping cough, croup, measles' cough,
grip or consumption that cannot be cured
speedily by the proper use of DR. BULL'S
COUGH SYRUP. Thousands of letters
have been received from grateful people
who were cured by it. It has been a
household remedy for the past 50 years,
and there is scarcely a home or a cabin
in the United States or Canada that has
not a bottle of this wonderful cure in the
medicine closet. It contains no Injurious
drugs. It heals the throat and lungs, and
'renders them perfectly healthy. It leaves
no bad after-effects.

that I am never at home without a bottle

Is as essential to my success as are my
songs, stories or violin. Very truly yours,

PRICES STILL GO DOWN
REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK IN
THE FINANCIAL WORLD.
Factories Become Still More Bnay
, Western Cities Send the
Beat Returns.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Little of a novel nature has developed In tho
business or financial situation during the past
week. Conditions of the preceding week were
accentuated as a rule, active manufacturing
plants becoming still more busily engaged,
while tho downward tendency of prices was
not checked. Retail trade is of Immense vol
ume, and Jobbers have Immense Spring orders
to fill. Western cities send the most satisfac
tory returns, but nearly all sections are en
Joying wholesome activity, even the South
showing evidence of Improvement. Wages
were voluntarily advanced at a number of
manufacturing plants and hours .reduced at
others. There was few labor controversies,
while skilled workmen are In great demand
than the supply.
Hesitation is general in the markets for bta
ple products. There Is no longer the reckless
buoyancy so conspicuous a short time ago.
Disaster to cne prominent operator had a.
calming influence, and In the case of corn the
inMgnlflcant exports cannot well be entirely
Ignored. Foreign buying of wheat, flour In
cluded. Is much more liberal, all ports of the
United States sending 4.320,005 bushels during
the past week, compared with 4.03S.481 bushels
a year ago. Meats have weakened, and dairy
products arc also less Inflated. Raw sugar
stiffened owing to restricted arrivals, which are
j natural, since Cuban holders await favorable
tariff arrangements, and bounty decisions affect
conditions In Europe.
Failures for the week number 301 In the
United States, against 300 last year, and 23 In
1 Canada, against 40 last year.
SOME FAVORABLE INFLUENCES.
j Irregrnlnrity In Prices Still Discour
ages ijcavy lrnuing.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2i.-'Bradst3et's to
morrow will say:
Events this week have been largely favor
able, notably among theso being the steadiness
of general prices, though cereals have- weak
ened slightly as the reflection of continued
liquidation, accelerated this week by the ar
rival of much-needed snow In the eastern part
of the Winter-wheat belt, a further expansion
In the Spring trade at leading Jobbing centers.

Baking Powder
The difference of cost between a good
and, a poor baking powder would not
amount for a family's supply to one dolw
lar a year. The poor powder would
cause doctors' bills many times this.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is
the most economical in, the end, because
it goes further in leavening and insures
perfect, wholesome food.
Used always in making the biscuif
andtcake it saves both health and money.
Made from pure, grape cream of tartar,

THE GENUINE PACKAGE.
1
renewed interest by exporters In wheat, though
Irregularity In prices still tend3 to discourage
heavy trading, while the slight strengthening
In cotton prices Is based largely on continued
confidence In future values and the very heavy
export movement now going on, shipments for
the season being nearly C00.0OO bales larger
than a year ago. .
Railway earnings still fall to confirm bear
ish predictions, and tho improvement in tho
car situation in January does not seom to
have been at the expense of receipts. Clear
ings -are smaller than a year ago. because)
speculation !s it a very low ebb, but distrib
utive trade l probably larger even than that
of a year ago. The strength of the Iron and
steel markets remain unchanged, though on
the surface demand Is culeter, and the Im
provement In tho car shortage situation makes
for larger production. In other motal.-?. Irreg
ularity Is still a feature, weakness being man
ifested in copper, which falls to develop con
sumptive demand, though quotations for It
havo again declined, and sheet copper ha3 llke
wiso been reduced.
Complaints of a small margin of profit In
print cloths and similar goods continue to
come from New England. Raw wool Is falrly
actlve. and the tone Is firm. Territory wools
are scarce In supply at the Kast. while a fair
business has been done In Australian grade
and London wools, and pries are higher.
Eastern shipments of boots and shoes on
orders continue in excess of a year ago, tho
gain so far in January being 11 per cent. As
Intimated a week ago. the decline In sugar
appears to have been overdone. A severe
break In coffee prices occurred this week, aa
a result, primarily, of continued heavy movo
ment. Heavy snows in the lumber regions havo
aided logging operations, but In the great con
sumptive markets the Winter has been an
open one. and building operations have gona
on with less than the usual interruption, with
tho result that stocks are reported small and
prices firm.
Wheat, including flour, exports for the week
aggregate 3.C30.CT0 bushels, as against 4.690.
202 bushels last week, and 4.83S.G7S bushels
In this week last year. Wheat exports, July
1. 1001. to date. 30 weeks, aggregate 101.044.
Iu2 bushels, as against 111,002.372 bushels last
season.
Corn exDorta acrKregate 179.520 bushels, aa
I against 208,003 bushels last week, and 3.072.152

exports are 21.435.237 bushels, against 111,702,
012 bushels last season.
