One milling firm of Port land has bought 3,000,000, bush els ot wheat in Urecon ana Washington, and wants to buy more, but Is unable to do so because its funds are tied up owing to the inability to move the grain which they have al ready purchased. In Umatilla county alone it is estimated that 300 cars are lequired to move the wheat now tied up in three warehouses pwned by ex porting companies. Juuyers m the Inland Empire state that the inability to get cars is Having depressing effect upon the price of the v wheat. JRhose farmers who have sold are not suffering from the caishortage, but fhe buyers pannot turn their pur chases into the channelsot trade and for that reason there is lit tle' wheat being bought at this fcinie. WILL GET MAIL VIA HEISLER Madras Mall To Comet In L,ock Sack From Shanlko About Neyv Route. A." Postmaster Davis has been notified by the department that following the discontinuance o the Heisler post office, which occurs today, the mail ior Mad ras and other points for which this office is the distributing office, will come from Shaniko in a lock sack, the Madras mail contractor to take charge of it at Heisler. This will continue the service we have now from the railroad, the only difference in our mail service being a de lay of a day in the mail from Prineville and other points served through that office, as that mail is carried through to Shaniko and returned to this office in the lock sack. The no tice to Postmaster Davis states that the Madras mail will leave Heisler upon the arrival of the stage from Shaniko, but as the mail gets into Heisler at all hours of the night and this would entail considerable unnecessary hardship upon the mail contractor, it is likely that this portion of the order will be modified so that the mail can leave Heisler at regular hours. Meanwhile the effort to get a direot mail service through from Shaniko to Bend continues, and with good prospects of success. The petition which will be for warded to the Postmaster Gen eral on December 1 will have in the neighborhood of a thousand signatures, showing the popular demand for the proposed ohango. Should the direot route asked for be established it is likely that it will be in opera tion by February 15th. RIG STOCK PLANT It was announced several weeks ago that Mr. P. S. Stan ley, of the D. I. & P, Company, had lot a contract for clearing I and plowing a large area of land near Bend and it now developes that the area to be cleared will form the nucleus of a big sheep plant to be established, on the desert, in the heart of the irri gated section. M(r. Stanley owns a lOOp-acre tract, a con siderable portion of whioh is already cleared, and. this tract will be combined, with one of similar size owned by Daven port Brothers of Hood River, and this 2000,-acre ranph will be stocked with sheep, A com pany has been formed with a capital stock of 50,000, known as the Stanley -Davenport Ranch Company, and the property will be operated under this name. It is expected that the company will spend 30,000 this season in clearing, building and stocking the ranch. MAY 8ETTIE DIFFERENCES It will be good news to the settlers on the irrigated.lands in the Bend country, if the at tempt to arrive at an amicable adjustment of the differences that nave existed lor tlie past several years between the own ers of the D. I. & P. Company and the owners of the Pilot Butte Development Company, may ue Buccesslul.- lnis con- trovers y, which has resulted in litigation, expensive to both sides and tending to retard tlu development oi mat ripn coun trj', may be s0ttled by the sale of all the holdings of the P, B, D. Company in the Bend vicin itjvin option having been se cured', it is rumored, for that purpose. Tivc; years ago the D. I. & P. Company moved their headquarters from Bend toanew town on the desert, named Redmond in honor of the iirst purchaser of irrigated land in that "vicinity, and Red mond enjoyed a temporary prosperity as a result of the disbursement of the company's payroll, Bend business interests being injured to that extent. Bend, located as it is on one of Uig prettiest sites along the Deschutes River, and at the gateway to the largest body of virgin timber in the "West, is destined to become one of the best towns in Central Oregon, although it has been suffering a period of business depression since the removal of the com pany's headquarters to Red mond. ASK PARDON FOR DELL And Remonstrance Against Such Ac- tlon Alsd Filed With Governor. A petition has been presented to Governor Chamberlain ask ing for the pardon of John Dell, convicted of manslaughter at the recent term of circuit court at Prmeville. At the Ramn time a remonstrance against ex ecutive clemency in this case ins been filed with the Gover nor, and he now has the matter under consideration. The ne- tition for the pardon lias sixty signers, and the remonstrance againBt the granting of the par- .1 i. : i. uuu hub muoty signers, In summing up the protest against the granting of a par don for Dell, the remonstrance states: "We believe from the ovidence produced at ti trial, aswell as from our 'nm-snnai knowledge of the said John Dell and his actions and nnn. duct sinoe his residence hat such aotion on vonr nart would not be conduoive to the welfare of our e&mraunily," , HITCHCOCK TO RETIRE WILL RESIGN FPIOM CABINET IK MARCH. Mos famous Secretary Yields to Adyarjcln of Interior Age And'. Too Great Pressure of Duties, It is announced that Secre tary E. A. Hftchcock of the In terior Department of the gov ernment will retire from that office next Marph on account of advancing age and inability to, longer bear the pressure of the, duties of that busy department. Mr. Hitchcock was appointed, Secretary of the Interior by President McICinley in 1898 and has served, through both the" McKinley and the Roose velt administrations. Secretary Hitchcock has been the most active and aggressive, man who has held the Interior, portfolio, and it was due to his, activity that the investigations; of lane frauds in this state and other states were instituted and carried to a successful culmina tion in spite of the strong politi cal pressure that was brought to bear by those who were in volved. It is also announced that James R. Garfield, now Secre tary of Corporations in the gov ernment service, will be ap pointed Secretary of the Inter ior to succeed Mr. Hitchcock. LONG AND SHORT JUSTICE "How's The Weather Down There?'! Says Smith to f Iklns. Sheriff Elkins, of Crook coun ty, who passed through The Dalles a few days ago with four prisoners for the state insane asylum, went up to Albany to visit his father, and there, ac cording to Albany papers, when Sheriff D. S. Smitli of Linn county, met the sheriff of Crook, the long and short of it met. Looking down from a height of six feet three inches, Sheriff Smith accosted Sheriff Elkins, who stands only five feet one inch, with uHow's the weather down there?" Though neither men lay claim to the distinction they are the tallest and shortest sheriffs in Oregon. The Dalles Chronicle. Sheriff Elkins's friends at this, his bome town, will be sorry to learn that the strenuous duties of his office have reduced him in stature to a bare "five feet and one inch." The last time he was in evidence here, which was just after his eleotion by a majority of about seven, he looked six feet and a half tall. an illusion evidently due to the elation that follows victory af ter a hard fought battle. And those "four prisoners for the state insane asylum", Prank? Our statutes urovide a different puuishment than that 'or murder in the first degree, manslaughter and horse-stealing. 7 MAKE A NOTE OF IT Twenty homesteaders on the Agency Plains are advertising to prove up.
