Pending Panama Canal legislation was the subject of general discussion in financial circles today and was regarded as primarily responsible for the heavy tone of the stock market. Pacific and other railroads whose destinies are more or ess Involved In the outcome of this measuie were under steady pressure, which at times suggested liquidation. There were persistent rumor aiso, in fecting the anthracite coal shares and tne likelihood of some decision adverse to those properties by the Interstate Commerce Com mission. Reading and Lehigh Valley were Increasingly weak, and gossip attributed much of the selling to some prominent uui- of-town Interests. The rest of the marKei seemed to have gone stale, with a "partial flattening out of the recent copper ooum. Amalramateri Conner and allied shares were strong at the outset, but fell back easily In the afternoon under a selling movement mm embraced all Issues of speculative importance. Specialties were less prominent, the oniy feature of Interest being American Tobacco, which suffered another material loaa. deal ings were much the largest of any session of the week. The bond market -was weaK. some usura falling a full point. Total sales, par value, aggregated SI. 610.000. United States Gov ernment bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

Thousrli Creditable Showing Ytas Made Last Year It Is Expected 1912 Will Surpass. DALLAS. Or Aug. 22. (Special.) A determined effort is being made by the various commercial clubs of the county to assemble a creditable exhibit from Polk to send to the state fair. The Dallas Commercial Club la also trying to get an exhibit together to put with the other exhibits from other Darts of the Willamette valley to senu to Eastern land shows. Owing to the fact that the County Court in making ts appropriation for fair purposes lim ited the expenditure ofthe money ap propriated to matters connected with the county fair or harvest festival, to be held in this city on October 3, 4 and there is no money available witn wnlrh to make a state lair exhibit, ex cept such as may be put up by the commercial clubs. It IS reported neie, however, that the Independence Com mercial Club has raised over $1000 for the purpose of getting together a creo it hie oxhiblt for the state fair. Thoujrh the county had a creuitaDie exhibit last year, still it was not as rrood ' as desired or as could oe se cured; but last year tne time wa. short. In order that an exnioit 01 which each citizen may feel proud can be annually installed at the state lair, a movement is now on foot to arrange for making a levy each year, ior una particular purpose. It is believed that legislative action will be necessary and a committee of the Dallas Com mercial Club is looking into mis mavi.' tr Tvith full nower to act.

INDIAN SKELETONS FOUND Child at Play Finds Burial Place at Florence. FLORENCE, Or.. Aug. 22. (Spetial.) -While 9-year-old flattie Patterson was playing at sand pies, but a few feet from the door of her home near the jetty here Saturday, she unearthed a skeleton, presumably of an Indian. It had been buried probably for many years, and had gradually become un covered In the shifting sand. The skull was whole and the little girl carried it about, playing with it, not realizing What she had found. The body had evidently been wrapped In a fur robe before burial, as hair evidently of some wild animal was found, and outside was a wrapping of bark. Two pieces of abalone shell, evidently lucky pieces, were also found, and Sunday a second body was un earthed near the same place WOODBURN IS IN TANGLE $15,000 OX 1IAXD FOR CITY HALL.

WOODBURN, Or., Aug:. 22. (Special). With J15.000 on hand to build a City Hall there seems little probability of this city havine an official residence for many months, owing: to the ina bility of the City Council to agree on a site. At- the last election, held In .Novem ber. 1911. the Council was authorized to issue bonds to the amount of 115,000 for the erection of a City Hall, with the understanding that the hall was to. be built on a lot which the city already owns, but after the bonds were issued and sold, the Mayor and part of the Council conceived a plan to purchase another location, which they maintain is better adapted for public service, and they proceeded to arrange for Its pur chase. After the funds had been received from the sale of the bonds they pre sented an ordinance to the Council authorizing- the purchase of the lot, but up to this time it has not been passed, although a vote for final passage was taken last evening. This resulted in two for and one against, one Council man being absent. As it takes three af firmative votes to pass an ordinance, the bill was lost, however. It is thought the bill will be reconsidered at some future meeting when all members are present. The change of location has caused considerable agitation, and a movement is on to invoke the referendum on the ordinance, should it pass the Council. Considering the fact that no plans or specifications have been adopted Dy the Council, and in view of the exist ing differences of opinion as to the proper location, it is expected that no buildine operations can oe commenueu ar l or than next SDrins. In the mean time the local banks nave tne use ui the proceeds of the bonds and the city is navine 5 per cent interest on The lot which is proposed as a new location is 50x100 feet and adjoins a new business block which will be oc cupied in part by the postoffice. Many claim that it will nH be satisfactory for City Hall purposes owing to na size, and are now agitating the pur--iinso of an entire block. An attempt is being made to secure options on a block that is centrally located and it is expected that the proposition win be submitted to the voters at the No vember election. HUNTERS ARE LOST IN FOG Sportsmen Trail Bear Two Miles Then Wander for 36 Hours. HUSU1L W'astu, Aug-. 22. (Spe Cial.) out of five bear hunters who returned recently from near Deadhorse Station, ten miles northwest of Trout Lake, three experienced a strenuous time by losing their bearings and wandering about in a fog for 36 hours. Arthur Ward, one of the lost hunters, is a mountain guide, but declares that he is no wiser than a tenderfoot when it comes to leading a hunting party in This hunters comprised William And erson, Arthur Wrard, Robert Overbauch, Male Hendryx and Charles Bowen. The entire party left camp in a dense fog after a heavy rain. Ward, Overbauch and Bowen, after trailing a Dear iui two miles, killed him, but discovered that they were lost. The following day they met a forest ranger, who put them on the right trail for Trout Lake. In the meantime And erson and Hendryx were blowing horns and firing- guns to attract the attention of their comrades. HOOD R1VERITES CAMPING Horticultural Chautauqua Being Held at Wood worth Park.
