Chicago. 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.

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

Chicago, Aug. 4. 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

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.

(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

$136.50.
