GRAIN TIED IIP IN THE INLAND EMPIR
Car Shortage Has Depressing Effect
on Wheat Business as Buyers arc
Unable to Reach Markets,
Millions of bushels of wheat
throughout the Inland Empire
are tied up in the warehouses
owing to the inability of the
railroad, companies to furnish
cars fcr loading and shipping
it. 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

time a remonstrance against ex
ecutive clemency in this case

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.

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.
