THURSDAY Nov. 14, 1907 OUR TEMPORARY MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE According to a Pendleton ex change, warehouse receipts lor wheat are taking the place of actual cash in that city during' ' "the present linancial panic. The paper tells of a farmer who, needing money which he could , not get because the banks were all closed, took $50 in warehouse receipts for wheat to an iniple- meat dealer, who accepted them in payment of his bill. The implement man men turneu uie receipts in to the merchant, who in turn paid the cold storage and commission people with them. And so on, until at the close of the day's business the .warehouse receipts had paid off in debts, and not a cent of actual eash had been used in the transactions. . 1 , 'Clearing house certificates in Portland, . and warehouse re ceipts at Pendleton and other wheat shipping points, empha-. .size the cause of the whole financial trouble in the North west. There is plenty of prop erty representing value, but there is nob enough actual cash, jas a medium of exchange in handling it. The entire JNorth westis enormously prosperous, with its bumper crop of wheat to market at high pi ices, but there is a failure in the supply of currency necessary to handle the immense crops and carry on the ordinary business of the country, and a general tie-up follows. Clearing house certificates and warehouse receipts, secured ,by the actual values which the' represent, whether wheat, lum ber or collateral security, are a temporary expedient for re lieving this shortage, and local ly they are proving a great tfactor in affording relief, but .there will be no feeling of security in the situation until actual cash begins to pour in for handling our crops, and .converting them into the pros perity they represent. WHEAT BUYING IS RESUMED Yesterday's Portland papers bring the news that business has been resumed in the wheat market, which is the most im portant news this section has received since the financial panic began. While buying is not yet extensive, it is reassur inir to know that the immense crop of grain is Again begin ning to move, and it gives the linancial situation a decidedly more hopeful appearance. The resumption ot buying by Portland grain merchants and commission men will start things moving agniu through out the Inland Jimpire. LIKES ALBERTA COUNTRY C. N, Banta Says It Is All Right, Not withstanding the Snowflakob Investigations of coal outcrop in Malheur County, Crook county and at two or three other points in interior Oregon are being made. There is no longer doubt that within tho next few years, if development work proceeds, all sections of this state will have available coal supplj' of a qualitj' equal to the best ligiiite on the Coast and in two or three of the mines the coal will be found equal to the Colorado coal now being sold at high prices in Portland, says the Oregon Journal. No small amount of deliber ate lying has been indulged in, where the truth would have served better, with respect to the failure of the proposed traction train on the Shauiko- Madras line. A California pa per "in the barber-shop" lauds the effort as a grand success. "We've wished it was, and the way to make it such, still, in the face of obstacles, is to tell the truth and advocate better roads in Crook Count'. Moro Ob-' server. 0. N. Hniiln, who moved from tlU section to Ferry Point, In tho Aiuorttt country, several years af,'o, tUeH ex ceptions to recent reports published in this paper, crlttulsliiB that country. From Mr. Unnta caino tho flis't report of (ho dumiiKo whieh resulted to thorn from tho anowttorm which occuried early In this season', and which wo nubllshed In uood faith. In n more recent letter ho Niye that tho damage was not ns severe as was tintiolpulo as tho wheat all lay ono way on the ground, and they wore ablo to harvest It. Oil" of 40 nores he states that ho has 11 stacks, from which ho expects to thresh 00 bushels to tho aoro If his L'l-aln turns out as well as did his neighbors'. Bomo of the farmers In that suction tlueshed 70 and 60 bushels of oats and barley to tho acre. Coi. tinuliiK, "Sir. 13anta says': "Tho weather has been lino over since it snowed, and it Is sunny Alber ta ilow for sure. Wo raised 100 bush els of potatoes on a quarter aoro of ground. Wo can grow anything hero that you can grow in Crook County, and lots more of It. For stock raising Alberta lead? (hem all. There Is plenty of water and grass. Alberta has her good qualities and her bad ones ua'well ns Crook County or any other place. Thuro Is lots of room in Alberta-, but peoplo tlmt are afraid of a snowtluke don't want to come." If money begins to pour into the Northwest to move our im mense crops with, and the prosperity of this section begins to manifest itself again within the. next two weeks, there will be additional cause for a great and general Thanks giving on the fourth Thursday of November. We could even stand to have two days of thanksgiving as in the days ot Pennoyer. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION IS HAHRIMAN OUT? The eastern crisis in the mon ey market has not - affected other railroad "building, beside Haiuiman's. The North Bank line is being rushed to comple tion with all possible haste. The Burlington, the Northwest ern and North Coast, the Great Northern, are all pushing their work ahead with vigor, and the closing down of Ilarriman's .work will only accellerate their speed by furnishing theni fro in " 0000 to 10,000 men which they .can use to advantage, says the East Oregonian. The question naturally arises, with these facts in view, is Har- riman down and out? Has he , lost in the big game? Is his railroad building at an end? Hundreds of other men will step into tho breach and will begin the actual development of Oregon Jwhich Harriinan has only bottled up, if Harriinan is actually down and-out. He is not the only railroad builder. Jim Hill may build less mileage on paper than Harriinan, but he lays more , ties and steel than Harrimau t every mouth in the year and if ; Harrimau is out Hill may turn ,his attention to the develop ment of Oregon. The Madras district held its third semi-annual convention in the Free Methodist church in Madras, November 9; Seven Sunday schools were represented, having a total rep resentation ol iorty-hve. Morning, afternoon and even ing sessions were held and much interest in the work man ifested. Peinianent organization was effected and the iollowing offi cers elected: President, L. A Hunt;' vice-president, Charles Low titer; secretary, Miss Grace Smith; superintendent Horn Department, Miss Elva J. Smith; superintendent Primary Department, Mrs. M. E. Perui val; superintendent Teachers 1 raining Department, John Hoffman, jr. The convention adjourned with the understanding that another meeting would be called some time during the Spring mouths.

In an attempt to loosen the drill the cable was broken and now the drill and a portion of the cable ate down in thn wiA and if they are gotten out a usmng tacKie oi some descrip tion will have to bo rigged up. At the time the accident him- pened they were drilling iiuuuyii ,i huh, louse loriuatiou that caved in frequently and caused much trouble. Just before reaching tnat the dull had penetrated a layer of very hard granite, so hard that only eight inches or a foot could be drilled each day. The well is down about 000 feet. Bend Bulletin. KEY SCHOOL DISTRICT A now school district, No. 67, has been formed In i.hisend of the county, the new district embtuclng the Hound Butte community and a large portion of ihe Little Plains, which has hereto fore been a part of the Madras district. The new school district, by metes and bounds is described as follow : Beginning at the northeust corner of theXWfcf ol Section D, Township 11 South, Range 13 East, theuco south 2 miles, thence west to ihe Des chutes Itiver, theuco down said river to the mouth of Willow Creek, thence up Willow Creek to where said creek crosses a lit.e extending north and south a half mile east of the west boundary of section 33, Tp. 10, It, 13 and Sec. 4, Tp.

The new district was very much needed, as many of the children In that district were unable to attend school owing to the distance to MadruH. Some of those who did attend school here had to travel a distance of six miles each way everyday they attend ed. Preparation is being made to build a new school house at once, so that a school may be had In (he ills trlct without delay.
