When the financial panic struck, Harriman was either in the jnidBt of preparations for build ing the long-talked-of road into Pentral Qregon, or else he was jnaking an unusually strong bluff in that direction, tq head off threatening "interlopers" in his territory. Whatever the motive of the activity of the Harriman engineers in this field it came to a standstill at the first tightening of the monej' piarker, and the work in Cen tral Oregon was suspended, alonir with every other Harri-I man project in the state. The press dispatches now announce the resumption of vork on a number of Harriman projects in the Northwest, but so far Central Oregon has Jpoked in vain for her name among the lists of favored dis tricts. With the Mt. Hood road out pf Portland hurrying construc fjqn on its line in this direction, the threatened spell of hard times does not appear to have afforded much protection against invasion of the Harri man preserves in Central Ore gon, however, for which reason jt is easy to read in the cards the early resumption of work in this territory by the Harriman forces. good sign IN resumption of in Central nnd Eastern Qregon, RAlf-ROAD work ' our neighboring town on the Tho resumption of railroad north being one of the latest to construction on n number of screvv uie JKl aow proiects under way in ' the Pen Wbli"g ft,ld tllH srlo.of Nortlnvesr. is one of the best liquor to minors are now under siLMis of the clearing of the the bnn ut l,mt l,,llce' Antelope financial situation throughout ia u progiesslve little town, and t.h countrv.

MANY BUYING DITCH LANDS A number of people have more money in circulation her during the nionej' stnngenoj' as remittances have been made ilmo.it entirely by local checks the actual money bewtir kept yVHEAT'S INHERENT STRENGTH An advance of nearly 3 cents per bushel in the Liverpool wheat market Testerda3r, to gether with a decrease of 1,600, 000 bushels in the American visible supply, met with the cold response of a bare half cent rise in the Chicago market. This peculiar attitude of the markets can hardly be attribu ted to anjr other cause than the present financial trouble. To the same cause also could be traced the deciease in . the American visible supply, for the scarcity of money has nat urally interfered with the move ment of wheat to the elevators, where it takes its place in the visible. Aside from the money trouble there ia very little in the situation that warrants any thing but a bull market. Quan tities on passage for the week ending last Saturday were 1,000,000 bushels less than for the preceding week, and the world's shipments were more thau 500,000 bushel? less than for the preceding week. By far the most significant feature of the world's ship ments was the remarkably heavy exports from the United States and Canada, shipments been passing through Madras during the past week or so, on here their way to Bend, where it is said they go to buy irrigated A sudden change in the tern land.

With a crop more than 100,000,000 bushels less than that of 1000, this country has during the first four months of the current season, beginning July 1, ship ped 12,000,000 bushels moie than for tho corrosponding period last j'ear. Meanwhile there has been a steady de crease in the shipments from other countries. All this has left tho United States and Can ada as the mainstay in provid ing Europe with wheat.

MODERN WOODMEN OF AMERICA A few of the reasons why so many are oining the Modern Woodmen of Ameri ca: Wo have 960,000 members with 30.000 outstanding certificates, which is far more than .the two next laintsst Societies combined. Three assessments missed I ho first ten months of this year; all claims paid and u.uuu.uuu casn on nana. First eight months oT this year wo issued 100,122 new certificates. There are 175 of the leading Fraternal nstirance societies that have six million meinoers at the present tune. The Modern Woodmen have nearly onu-sixth of this entire membership. There are six billion four hundred and fifty million dollars of protection for tho widows and orphans carried by the members of tliuso societies. TiieM. W. A. carries Ono llilllon Three Hundred and Fifty Million of this amount, or a little more than ono-sixth of all the fraternal insurance carried in the United States Tho inanaKomentoxKenso of thisuriiut order has cost eacli member not to exceed tlie prien of one postage stamp I- ,.! .i it.
