PROVIDE CARS FOR WHEAT Ilarriman officials have taken steps towards providing cars for moving the immense grain crop of the Inland Em pire, au( they have given assurances "that commencing with Monday of this, week their lines would be delivering wheat In "Portland at tho rate of 100 cars daily. Last Saturday night 125 cars left Portland for the Inland Em pire, this being the beginning of the prompt movement of wheat promised. This action by the Harriman offl .cials is the result of vigorous protests 'filed by sbfppers and exporters of grain' from Portland, who have been loud in ftheir complaints regarding the Jack of' facilities forgettiug the grain which has, been bought hauled to Portland and loaded for shipment. In order to realize the effect that was having upon the grain situation in the Northwest it must be understood that only after .the ship is loaded can 'the exporter begin the transaction of converting the bill of lading into gold, to be used again in helping market the enormous grain crop of the Northwest, when his Loudon exchange shall have been turned Into gold.

Kelley and Lakin are telling a laugh able story on Cliut. When running lines the other duy in the timber about eight miles east of the stage station ho noticed two cub bears scoot up a tree and stopped to watch them As he stood in absorbed contemplation of the two cubs, what was IiIh surprise to see the old bear appear around a nearby ledge of rock and. charge full tilt in Clint's direction. There was no time for parley. Clint had no sgun or weapon of any description. So he immediately Challenged the angry old bear to a foot race and held the lead. for about 60 yards with angry old Mother Bruin a close second. She finilly got tired of the unequal contest, saw that there was no chance for her to eaten up wiui tnu iieeing Ullnt, so. returned to her cubs. Bend Bulletin MODERN WOODMEN OF AMERICA A few of the reasons why so many nro joining the Modovu Woodmen of Ameri ca: Wohavo OCO.000 members witlt 20,000 outstanding certificates, which Is far moro than the two next lamest Societies combined. Three assessments missed tho first ten months of this year; all clalnfs paid and $3,000,000 cash on hand. First eight months of this year we issued 100,122 new certificates. There aro 175 of tho leading Fraternal insurance societies Unit liavo six million members at tho presenl time. Tho Modern Woodmen have nearly one-sixth of this entire membership. There are six billion four hundred and fifty million dollars of projection for the widows and orphans carried by the members of these societies. Th'oM. W. A. carries One Billion Three Hundred and Fifty Million of this amount, or a littlo more tlian one-sixth of all tho fraternal insuranco carried in tho United States- The management expense of this great order has cost each member not to exceed the price of. One postage stamp per week since starting in business. Wo are funnelling GOOD RELIABLE INSURANCE to our members for about one-half What other societies charge.

This action was believed to be necessary in oider to clear the financial atmos nh ere of all menacing clouds and the extension of the holiday period was only consented to after a conference with leading bankers and businessmen of the state. The holidays have been extended now by the Governor through a period of four weeks, and as a consequence, during that period much inconvenience has resulted through the embargo thereby placed upon the courts, and through the stagnation of business generally. The financial situation throughout the state which called for these protective measures, however, has cleared up within the past two weeks, and It is not believed that there will be any extension of the holiday period after Saturday. UP AGAINST IT Judging by reports which come from Portland, the serious question which confronts the man of means in the Oregon metropolis is whether to leave his money in the bank, or take it out and risk being "held up" for it before he can get it to a hiding place. If half the htories of hold-ups iu tho heart of that city are true, the part of pru . donee would certainly appear to dictate leaviug it in the banks. Thursday, November 23, is appoint ed u.epecial holiday by the Governor, in order thut the bankers of tho state , may have an opportunity of returning thanks for the numerous other similar t occasions they have enjoyed during the present month. Dedication exercises were held in the" Free Methodist Church at this place last Sundav, Rev. D. D. Dodge of Hood Iiiver and Rev. Coffee of Portland con ducting the dedicatory service. A large congregation attended tho exercises. The new church building of the Free Methodists was completed during the past Summer and it is a comfortable place of worship for them. At present the M. E. Church of this place is also using the building for their regular ser vices, as that denomination lias 110 building in Madras, although they are now arranging to build a place of wor ship for themselves in the near future. llev.
