Aug. 4. The sensational rise In wheat continues to be the feature of the market. With a 5-cent rise since Frldiiv and one of 10 cents over the market a little while ago, the bulls are rampant and acting on advices received from every grain belt In the wheat rais ing countries of the globe that the crop will present a material decrease after the harvest is all In. are buying like w d f re. And all slsrns at this time point to another period of Btreas and change like that during the famous Letter corner which ended so disastrously for Mr. I,e! ter. but contributed to the pockets of ignore than , 000,000 farmers, unis time. however, the market is bewig dominated by natural causes. Crop shortages due to various causes are boosting the little yellow and red grains toward the highest pinnacle that nas oeen witnin near view for a decade. Dollar wheat Is the cry and dollar wheat may not be without the bounds of possibility. The foreign markets have all respond ed to the can or tne i,ntcago pit ana appreciable advances are noted at all grain centers. Bradstreet's Visible Supply. New York, Aug. 4.

RAN A Bie BLUFF FOR TWO YEARS 11. A. Wade, Disbarred Chi cago Attorney, Is Now in the County Jail. Before the district attorney's office Is through with R. A. Wade, there will be unfolded a remarkable story of a clever man who came to Portland and ran a Flra hydrants and firs protection formed the subject of an lnterestln discussion for a committee of five from the North Alblna Push club with Mayor Lana and Chief Campbell this morning, Th commute cam with blood In It eye and wanted to know why the tax payer occupying four square miles of territory could not have one little hy drant In their district without digging down Into their personal funds to pay for t. They further wanted to know why there is no flro hydrant In front of or near the Ocklev ureen sciiool wnic houses more than 400 school children and which la Included within the fou square miles mentioned. Further, why the city has never tapped the 14-Inch main that runs In front of the school and ennnocteri It with a fire hVdrailt. That was not all the members of th committee wanted to know. They wanted to know whr they were forced from pillar to post to secure knowledge In regard to their rights. "We ask one official whv we do not have hydrants they said, "and he tells us that another official Is responsible. W go to that official and he says go to another. Wa go to the other and In turn are rererreu to a board. Thus we go irom one oi-rii-Ul in hoard and from board to of ficlal until we havs taken up more time and money than 100 hydrant require for their Installation. Tired of Delay "We are tired of It. Mark that. Tired of it. We have been after hydrants for two years and we want them, we are navlnr our money as taxpayers and have nothing to show for It. "Whnn committee srets through run nlntr around to everv board, committee and official In the city of Portland and can then show the club it represents nothing more than a lot of evasions. It is hiah time that a radical change of om kind la made In the government. Anyway, we think there are altogether too many boards, committees, ucpnii ments and officials for a business like ,lrr(nlarnlori of the cltv'8 affairs. What we need are more results and less officials. The more of the latter we have the more politics we have and tne more politics we have the longer it takes to get a two-Inch main estab lished In a district that haa been filled with law-abiding taxpayers before some of these officials came to Portland. "We came after water mains and what did we get? Nothing. We were told that there were no hydrants and then we were told that there were. We finally found out that the city has 86 hlch have been lying on the street but have never been accepted. Why doesn't the chief engineer of the fire department see that the contract ors put these hydrants In such shape that they will be fit for use. "Or If the engineer doesn't take ac tion why doean't the water board re scind the contract and order new hy- , drants? Heed Leal Bed Tape. "What are 80 hydrants, anyway, when the city needs several thousand? They told us today that 500 new hy drants had been advertised for. What If they haver 1 ne city onumis noun 1 is without a single firs hydrant savo one which wa purchased by W. H. Foster, who wanted It In front of hi store In rase of fir. We are mighty ftlad w have paid our taxes, but we tave notified tne councllmen that we will hold them criminally responsible In case our school building burn and any of the children lose tholr lives. W mav go further than that, but we are nqt here to make threat. Think of a city government which Is so loosely put together that a district four miles square with thousands of pcoplo residing within Its confines, with out n fire hydrant, although those resi dents have been petitioning and praying for hydrants for more than two years. Think of It. Two year of time and money wasted trying to get something from representatives who haVs treated' other, districts as shamefully a our own. But It 1 not wholly th fault of the representatives. The form of sov- ernment is the chief factor and you may be sure that we people of North Alblna know how we are aolna to vnta on amendments this coming November lec tion.

With the mercury registering 90 degrees and an alarming humidity before 12 o'clock today and steadily rising. Chicago Is in the throes of another period of terrific heat Over a score of prostrations had been reported by 10 o'clock and unless there is an unexpected abatement in the temperature many deaths are regarded as inevitable. The sun's rays grew so hot before noon that the mechanism of an auto matic fire alarm was released by the melting of wax valves In a building on Wabasn avenue and a doxen fire en gines weru brought to the scene. A panic was narrowly averted In the building The heat wave Is fatal to Infants. Eighty babies have died within 14 hours as a result of the extreme temperature. .No relief from the terrible heat Is promised by the weather bureau for 24 hours This afternoon It was reported that the total number of prostrations has reached 75. and three deaths have been added to the list of adults who suc cumbed to the heat, making a total for the iat 24 hours of eight adult deaths CHINK SLEUTH MARKED TO DIE Mo.y Kee Aids in Anti-Smuggling: Campaign and a Tong Gets Next.

San Francisco Aua i a k v,it. binder war Is threatened In San Fran cisco Chinatown as a result of the re cent investigations of the immigration service made bv tfim&a mn rcrnajiuu oanrora, under spe cial commission from President Roose velt. In bis work of ferreting out the unuergrouna system Dy which are stnuttKled into thin rilllntt employed a Chinese sleuth named Moy Ke. Following the disclosure of the commission's investigation Kee sudden ly disappeared from his familiar haunts declaring that a bounty of S2.600 had been placed on his head by the Chin family. Members of the Chin family todav at.. on to the two warrants held by the sheriff, the police had two pa pers for his arrest, ajid the constable's office had another. Wade has been keeping out of sight since Friday aft ernoon; but, evidently believing It use less to hide any- longer, went to the sheriff's office In company with Alex Sweek yesterday and asked that he be locked up on a oharge for which Robert Andrews had already furnished ball to secure Wade's release. Wade did this to escape the police detectives and the unpleasantness of the city Jail. Thla is but a sample of the cleverness of the man with whom the authorities now have to deal. Bumped for Thousand. J. D. McGuire, superintendent of the Astoria & Columbia River railway, is said to be one of the heaviest losers by Wade's manipulations, though Mr. Mc Guire has not yet sworn out a warrant Wade obtained SI. 000 on a tricky busi ness deal, it is alleged. A woman who has not yet appeared in the caBa will alpo probably be another comnlainant. Wade has been in Portland, over two years. In Chicago he was known as an expert criminal lawyer. He defended during the first trial Prendergast, the man afterward donvlcted of shooting Mayor Carter Harrison. Wade secured a hung Jury. He was afterward dis barred from the Illinois bar and came i to Portland. Apparently he has lived protection. But such a condition does not worry the city officials. They would rather take up time in throwing the responsibility upon somenouy eise. It la tlma that we did awav with about four fifths of these committees, boards and officials, and start a business form of government in Portland. "North Alblna has been In the city longer than Sellwood, yet Sellwood has flro hydrants, flro protection and an engine company. We have a larger ter ritory and a larger population than Sell wood, but we have no fire protection of any kind. We have put In hard surface pavements and are putting in more, and we started this work because wo thought we would have fire hydrants in long before the pavements could be laid. We have the pavements, but no fire hy drants, and when we do get them, if such a thing Is possible, we will have to tear up the pavement and Install them to the detriment of the pavement. Promise, but Nothing Else. "Oh, we "have lots of cause for re joicing, because we have paid our taxes for these many years. We are more than happy, because we have seated our selves In the byways and the highways and listened to the promises of these politicians, who do nothing. We are tickled to death. But somebody else will be tickled before we get through with this matter, and if there is a slaughter in the number of city officials to be elected at the next city election It will be because we have come to our senses and depleted the city payroll of a large list of wise-acre obstructors who have never done anything or ever will do anything. The money we are paying these officials for obstructing our busl ness would Install enough fire hydrants to protect tne city in every aistrict. We would be much better off without them. "But do not think that we have any tning against these (Special Dispatch to The Journal. k Pendleton, Or., Aug. 4. An amended complaint has been filed In the superior court by the Peacock Mill company of this place against officers of Walla Walla county and city, In which the plaintiff seeks to enjoin the city and county from collecting taxes on 13,000 sacks of wheat purchased from W. P. Reser. The ground for the action is that th plaintiff did not own the grain in March when the taxes for 1907 were levied against W. P. Reser. The complaint alleged that W. W. Raymond, aa agent for the Peacock" company of Milton and Freewater, made a proposition to W. P. Reser to purchase the grain on March 2. and on March 7 the delivery of the grain commenced. The taxes are state and countv, SI 13.76; school, $91 ; city, $136.50. Soldier Is Bound Over. Harry RIcgs the soldier who before ho left Portland to enlist at Monterey, Cal., helped himself to a watch belong ing to Mrs. Mary Barton, so she al leges, waived examination in the mu nicipal court today and was bound over to the grand Jury under S 1,000 bonds.
