Other fatalities are freported from

The lake region is also feeling Jthe
cold. Michigan is in the grasp of a se

combined with a blinding Btorm.
Railway traffic is completely paralyzed
in many parts of Michigan and the
storm shows no sign of abatement.
Chicago last night experiened one of

Washington, Fob. 7. Tho Seattle
exposition bill wont through tho Bonn to

vote. Burkott, who threatened to do
all manner of tilings to defeat it, tnado
a vloious attack and thundered loudly
lor bait an hour, when ho concluded,
several eenators spoke in behalf of tho
bill, and, when Files moved its pas
sage, barely a voice save that of Bur
kott was heard in opposition.
Burkett's antagonism really strength
ened the bill, for ho is generally dis
liked in tho (onate, and his onslaught
created sympathy for Files, .who was
pressing tne bill.
Tho house committoo will now lake
up and report the senate bill, inptead
of that introduced by Congressman

Condon Is Largest Primary Distribut
ing Point in Country.
Condon Tho latest estimate .of tho
amount of grain already shipped and
that remaining to bo shipped from Con
don ia 1,300,000 bushols. According
to this Bhowlng, Condon is tho largest
primary grain shipping point in -tho
United States and, as for na can bo
learned, in tho entiro world. Tho
point which haa herotofore claimed tho
honor of being tho largest primary
grain shipping point in tho world
Ritzville, Wash., its supremacy being
claimd on the basis of shipping 1,250,
000 bushols.
From figures obtained from tho best
authorities on the subject 1,100,000
bushels of wheat and barley have al
ready been recoived by tho warehouses
and mill bore. And to this must be
addod tho largo amount that is yet scat
tered over the country waiting to be
haulod to town before spring. It
safe to say that thero remains in Con
don's territory 200,000 bushels yet to
bo brought in, making a grand total of
1,300,000 bushels to bo shipped from
Condon alone.
No less remarkable is tho estimated
output of grain in every section of Gil
liam county, the total of tho estimates
of the different stations exceeding tiio
mount to be shipped from Condon. It
must also bo taken into consideration
that many thousands of bushels of grain
harvested along the borders of tho coun
ty are shipped from nearby railroad
points in the adjoining counties. Tho
total of the number of bushels shipped
from these points added to the amounts
shipped from different stations in Gil
liam ccunty places the enormous out
put of Gilliam county at 2,750,000.

WANT CHEAPER GRAIN SACKS
URGES HALL'S ACQUITTAL.
Webster Makes Earnest Argument for
His Client.
Portland, Feb. 7. Ably and with in
tense earnestness Judge Lionel R. Web
ster yesterday advocated the cause of
John R. Hall, ex-United StateB attor
ney, before a jury in the United States
court. Counsel was unable to con
clude before eourt adjourned at 5
o'clock and will resume this morning
at 10 o'clock. Although his argument
was confined to a review of the testi
mony almost exclusively, Judge Web
ster pleaded loyally and eloquently in
behalf of the man who for years had
been his faithful and intimate personal
and political friend.
Judge Webster prefaced his addresB
with a brief discussion of the responsi
ble duty of a juror together with a defi
nition of the charge of conspiracy on
which Hall is being tried. At the out
set of his remarks, counsel for the de
fendant took issue with Mr. Heney,
who, in his opening argument Wednes-
1 . 1 J I 1 1 - m
uay, asserted mac tne laiiure ;oi proee
cuting officials to discharge their duty
and to enforce the Jaws was rotting and
decaying the very foundations of a re

Grain Sacks at Reduced Figures
Pendleton Umatilla county farmers
will share in the purchase of 1,000,000
wheat sacks made by the Farmers' Co
operative union at Walla Walla. Over
200 farmers were present at a mass
meeting at which contracts for the pur
chase of 1,000,000 sacks from the J. Z.
Smith company and the Kerr-Gifford
company of Portland at a uniform
price of 7?bO, was made. Ah the same
quality of sacks sold last year at from
10 to 11c each, the farmers have made
a great saving in purchases for this
j ear by asking for bids.
State Wants Sidetrack.
Salem The state board has asked
the Railroad commission to investigate
the question of the need of a sidetrack
on the Southern Pacific at the Bite of
the proposed home for the feeble mind
ed, just south of this city. Tiie rail
road company refused tho state's re
quest for a sidetrack. The state board
wants the sidetrack established as an
aid Irr transporting material for the
new building, which will be started
soon.
Growers at Athena Working Through
Association.
Athena C. A. Barrett, presidont of
the Inland Graingrowers' association,
says that the principal object of the or
ganizatlon at present is to reduce the
price of sacks. Tho association declares
that tho prices the dealers ask for sncks
are unreasonable. Thoy say that they
made a good, substantial saving last
year Dy means oi tho association, ami
that they will bo able to inako a fur
greater saving this year. Mr. Barrett
estimates that the farmers of this
county will be ablo this year to savo
$40,000. The Inland Gruingrnwers'
association is a corporation and buys
ltB own sacks direct thus making a
great deal better bargain than tho
dealer can make.
Another purpose of the association is
to force the O. R. & N. and Northern
Pacific railway companies to arrange to
shift cars from one lino to tho other
without removing tho goods from ono
car to another. Another objoct tho
association has in view is to reduco
freight rates on largo grain shipments
