CHICAGO, III., Jan. 31. (Special )
J. Ogden Armour today saw the veri
fication of his statement a week ago
that the world's wheat markets had
been tiulled to death and that lower
prices were Inevitable. The wealthiest
and most powerful coterie of wheat
hulls to bo found in the world was
forced to retreat In a way that could
by no stretch, of the imagination be
called masterful.
The coterie surrendered piecemeal.
Its recent head, J. A. ratten, seeinff
the inevitable over a fortnight since,
threw over his bin holdings and left
his brother, George W. Patten, and
his partner, "V. H. Bartlett, to con.
tlnne the fifrht alone. They stood by
their guns and refused to see the situ
ation as It had dawned upon their fellow-campaigner
until today. when
holdings estimated at about 10,000,000
bushels of wheat were unloaded. These
sales and the consequent decline In
prices forced the unloadlnK of prob
ably twice as much more long wheat
held by commission houses.
Loss May Reach $1,200,000.
In the nature of things no official
nr even accurate approximation of the
losses entailed by the big bulls is
available. The traders who have noted
the transactions from day to day in
the pit, however, believe that they
pre to be found somewhere between
JjSOO.OOO and $1,200,000. Karly last
month J. A. Patten unloaded 5,000.000
bushels of wheat In a single day, sell
ing it all from $1.07 down to $1.05.
Additional sales of 2,000,000 bushels
were made for him here two weeks
ago, while he was In New York. These
sales are believed to have been about
one-third of the holding of thethree
principal local members of the firm.
In addition to this Immense holding,
the firm was believed to be carrying
almost as much more for wealthy cus.
tomors who ordinarily follow its lead
ership. Armour Wins $1,000,000.
It is a high compliment to the scope
and breadth of the Chicago wiieat
market that It was able today to ab
sorb about 80,000,000 bushels of long
wheat within a range of 3Vi cents in
the price.
J. Ogden Armour also is believed to
have won a million dollars, because in
the decline in prices he has been a
comparatively recent convert to the
bear side. Next to him In the extent
of his winnings Is believed to be A. J.
l.lchstern The "Wall street contingent
trading through Logan & Bryan is be
lieved to have cleaned up very large
profits and Ike Schoen of St. Louis
scored handsome winnings.
Corn Also Is Unloaded.
In addition to the wheat sold out
by the bulls today, there were sales
of about 8,000,000 bushels of corn from
the same source. An attempt was
made to unload oats, but the market
was too narrow.
Wheat sold today at 9S4 cents.
which was only above the low point!
scored on August la, last. une nign

It sold at $1.12.
SCORES THE WRONGDOERS
(Continued From Page 41
only real satisfactory results must be ob
tained by the .representatives of the Na
tional and state' governments working heart
ily together within their respective spheres.
National Power Alone Effective.
Rut In my Judgment thoroughgoing and
satisfactory control can in the end only be
obtained by the action of the National
Government, for almost all the corporations
of enormous wealth that Is, the corpora
tions which it Is especially desirable to
control are engaged in Interstate commerce
and derive their power and their Importance
not from that portion of the business which
is Intrastate, but from the Interstate busi
ness. It is not easy always to decide Just
where the line of demarcation between the
two kinds of business falls. This line must
ultimately be drawn by the Federal courts.
Much of the effort to secure adequate con
trol of the great corporations by estate ac
tion has been wise and effective, but much
of it has been neither; for when the effort
Is made to accomplish by. the action of the
state what can only be accomplished by
the action of the Nation, tbe result can
only be disappointing and in the end the I
law WlH Oe piULmui.Y uruioiru uihujiiuu-
tional. So likewise in the National arena,
we believe the measures herein advocated
are hampered and not aided by the ex
tremists who advocate action bo violent
that It would either be useless or else
would cause more mischief than it would
remedy.
In a recent letter from a learned Judge
of the Supreme Court of one of the Gulf
States, the writer speaks as follows:
Opinion of Texas Judge.
"In all matters pertaining to Interstate
commerce the authority of the Nallonal
Government already exists and does not
have to be acquired, and the exercise of this
existing authority can be in no sense a
usurpation of or Infringement UDon the
rights of the states. On the contrary, had
the Federal Government given this ques
tion more attention In the past and applied
a vigorous check to corporate abuses, con
ditions would now be better, because tho
states would have had fewer real or Imag
inary grievances and have had less cause
not only to attempt the exercise of the au
thority reserved to the National Govern
ment btit to act without proper moderation
in matters peculiarly within their own
provinces. The National Government has
been remiss In the past, but even at this
late day it can solve tills problem, and the
sooner the National authority Is exercised,
the less ant aro the states to take action
which will represent encroachment upon
the National domain. There Is a field of
operations for both powers, and plenty alike
for National and State governments to do
In order to protect both the people and the
public utilities.
"The lino of demarcation between Federal
and State authority can and should be
speedily settled by the Federal courts. The
fact that the National Government hit
omitted to exercise the authority conferred
upon It by the interstate commerce' clause
of tho Constitution has made the states res
tive under what they deem corporate
abuses, and In some cases has probably
stimulated them to go too far In the attempt
to correct these abuses, with the vesult that
all measures which they passed, sood or
bad. have been held us by the Federal
Courts. The equitable , and uniform regu
lation cannot be obtained by the separate
action or the states, but only by the af
firmative action of the National Govern
ment." .
lAj-lns; t'p Day of Wntb.
This Is an appeal by a high state Judge,
alarmed, as a rood citizen should be
alarmed, by confllrt jover the matter of
Jurisdiction and by the radical action advo
cated by honest people, pmartlnK from A
sense of Injury received from corporations,
which injury the Federal Courts forbid the
slates to try to remedy, while the Federal
Government. nevertheless. refrains from
Itself taking adequate measures to provide
a remedy. It cannot too stronsly be in
sisted that trie defenders and apologists of
the great corporations, who have sought in
the past and sUll seek to prevent adequate
action by the Federal Government to con
trol these great corporations, are not only
proving false to the people, but are laying
up the day of wrath for the great corpora
tions. At such a time there is a natural ten
dency on the part of many men to feel
gloomy and frightened at the outlook, but
there Is no Justlncatlon for this feeling.
There Is no nation so absolutely sure of ulti
mate success as ours. Of course we shall
succeed. Ours Is a Nation of masterful
energy, with a continent for .its domain,
and it feeis within Its veins the tnrill which
comes o those who know that they pos
sess the future. We are not cast down by
the fear of failure; we are upheld by the
confident hope of ultimate triumph. The
wrongs that existed are to be corrected, but
they In no way Justify doubt as to the final
outcome, doubt as to the great material
prosperity of the future, or of the lofty
spiritual life which Is to be built upon that
prosperity as a foundation. No misdeeds
done in the present must be permitted to
shroud from our eyes the glorious fortune
of the Nation, but because of tills very fact
It behooves us never to swerve from ' our
resoluto purpose to cut out wrongdoing aud
uphold what Is right.
l-unlc Due to Criminal Rich.
I do not for a moment believe , that the
actions of this administration have brought
on business distress. Bo far as this Is due
to local and not to world-wide causes, and
to the actions of any particular Individuals.
It is due to the speculative folly and fla
grant dishqnesty of a few men of great
wealth, who eeek to shield themselves from
the effects of their own wrong-doing by
ascribing Its results to the actions of those
who have sought to put a stop to the wrong
doing. But if it wire true that to cut out
rottenness from the' body politic meant a,
momentary check to an unhealthy seeming
prosperity, I could not for one moment
hesitate to put the knife to corruption.
On behalf ot all our people, on behalf no
less of the honest man of means than the
honest man who earns each day's livelihood
by that day's sweat of his brow. It Is nec
essary to Insist upon honesty in business
and politics alike, in ail walks of life, in
big tilings add iittle things; upon Just and
fair deaiiug as between man and" man.
Those who demand this are striving for the
right in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln,
when he said:
.Lincoln's Words Quoted.
"Fondly do we hope, fervently do we
pray, that this mighty acourgo may speedily
pass away, yet if tjod wills that it con
tinue until ail the wealth piled by the
bondsmen or two hundred and fifty years of
unrequited toll shall be- sunk, and until
every drop of blood drawn with tbe lash
shall be paid by another drop drawn with
the Bword, as was said three thousand
vears aeo. so still It must be said, 'the
judgments of the Lord are true and righ
teous altogether. ,
"With malice toward none; with charity
for all; with firmness in the right, as
God gives us to see the right, let us strive
on to finish the work we are in."
In the work we of this generation are In,
there is, thanks to the Almighty, no dan
ger of bloodshed and no use for the sword;
but there is grave need of those stern
qualities shown alike by the men of the
North and the men of the South in the dark
days when each valiantly battled for the
right as It was given each to see the right.
Their spirit should be our spirit as we
strive to bring nearer the day when greed
and trickery and cunning shall be trampled
under foot by those who fight for the righ
teousness that exalteth the Nation.

The most interesting address of the day
was delivered by J. L. Dumass, of Waits
burg, a" member of the State- Board of
Education under the Rogers administra
tion and a former teacher in this state
and the Hawaiian Islands. Professor
Dumass' subject was "Fruitgrowing in
Touchet Valley." He told how eight
years ago, on his return from Honolulu,
he bought 50 acres of land near Dayton,
on Touchet River, and set It out In Win
ter apple trees, Roman Beauties, Jona
thans and Yellow Newtons being the
chief varieties.
Just before apple picking time last
Fall Dumass bought the adjoining Offner
orchard of 50 acres. The yield from the
Offner ranch alone, which cost $18,000.
brought in $16,000, and the total crop of
84.000 boxes on 100 acres brought over
$52,000. The net profit was $40,000. Du
mass exhibited a contract wUh White &
Co., commission merchants, of New
York, for 28,000 boxes of apples at an
average price of $1.48. After 18.000
boxes had been delivered, no more cars
were available, and Dumass later found
a market in Chicago, New York and
London for 16,000 boxes. The average re
turn was $520 an acre.
A comparison with wheat ranches of !
z.ouo acres In Walla Walla and Columbia
Counties show that the 100-acre orchard
beat them all.

Issue Statement Declaring That
While Sales May Be Light tor
a Time, Prospects Are
Most Encouraging.
NEW TORK, Jan. 81. That no ne
cessity exists for a reduction in fhe
prices of iron and steel and that none
will be made was the general under
standing arrived at by the representa
tive members of the iron combination
at a meeting held in this city yester
day No agreement for maintenance
of prices was made or suggested, but
the belief was expressed by all those
present that maintenance of prices
"would result In benefit to the manu
facturers, to their customers and to
the employes and to-lnterests gen
erally." Statement Is Given Out.
This understanding is the substance
of what took place at the conference
of 75 manufacturers end purchasers of
steel, as given out tonight by Judge
K. H. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation. The state,
ment said in concluding:
It wai remarked that the oresent dispo
sition to assist one another by the frlendlj
Interchange of vifwt rather than a resort
to unreasonable and destructive competition,
which would ultimately result In the appli
cation of the law of the survival of the
fittest. Is in accordance with the present
stats of public sentiment. The meeting af
forded a striking; Illustration of the fact that
there can be active, sharp competition In,
business without necessitating an unfriendly
and bitter warfare that In the end must be
most iniurlous to the manufacturers, the
purchasing: public and to the hundreds of
thousands of employes who are dependent
upon the success of thel employers for work
at fair watts.
Already Slight Improvement.
As to the future, opinions were, without
exception, conservatively optimistic. Al
ready there Is a marked, though slight, im
provement. It Is not expected that the
volume of business will be large In the im
mediate future and the manufacturers are
prepared to meet the circumstances.
That the wealth and wonderful resources
and recuperative powers of the country will
before long brln.a restoration of business
that will employ all the furnaces and mills
to their .full capacity Is the expectation In
the iron and steel Industry.

building is all concrete and is absolutely fireproof, and contains 80
light and commodious rooms, 33 of which have bathrooms. There
are long distance telephones in ea;h room, as well as steam heat, gas
and electricity. The Heyser is tbe most recently completed hotel,
and so it is the most modern in every respect.
The location is an admirable one, being located at the east end
of the Burnside bridge, away from the noises of the busy city.
C. H. Edmunds, the proprietor, isan experienced hotel man, and
it will be his aim to see that all the comforts possible will be avail
