ROOKING FOR HARRIMAN AGAIN
With the brightening up of
tho financial situation some
announcement of the .resump
tion of activities by the Harri-
niau interests will be expected.
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

this territory by the Harriman
forces.

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

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
