There Is less wheat to bring the price

production will be the greatest in the
aggregate that old Umatilla has known,
with the exception of the few brief sea
sons during the war period.
This season's price will be more satis

Albers Is
Blind From
Paralysis
J. Henry Albers, principal in the
federal espionage case which has
been fought through various courts
up to the supreme bench during the
last three years, was stricken with
paralysis at his home in Milwaukie,
Wednesday evening at 10 o'clock and
is totally blind.
Report of Albers' affliction was ob
tained from the nurse who has been in
charge of the millionaire miller since
the stroke. Dr. E. A. Sommer, attend
ing physician, had no report to make to
day, although the nurse said that the
condition of Albers was not improved.
The paralytic stroke followed advice
that Albers had been relieved of a three
years' penitentiary sentence and the pay
ment of a J10.000 fine through reversal
of the supreme court's decision. Since
then it has been announced, however.
that Albers will again have to stand
trial, the order for a new trial being ex

London, July 8. (U. P.) King
George appears to suddenly have as
sumed the role of principal mediator
in the present Irish negotiations.
The king received Sir James Craig,
premier of the Ulster cabinet, at the
Buckingham palace today.
Following by only a day his confer
ence with Jan Smuts, premier of South
Africa and Intermediary in the nego
tiations. King George's action, was re
garded as deeply significant.
Unconfirmed reports were immedi
ately circulated that De Valera, presi
dent of the "Irish republic," would be
the next important figure to be invited
to Buckingham palace.
The king. It was pointed out. really
took the first step toward bringing
about the present negotiations, when,
in opening the Ulster parliament re
oently, he 'pleaded for puace -in Ire. and,
urging the people of the island to "for
give and forget."
It Is known that George has been
constantly informed of the progress of
the negotiations, and following yester
day's conference with Smuts It was an
nounced that the proposed London con
ference In which De Valera and Union
ist representatives will meet Premier
Lloyd George would be held at Buck

Washington. July 8. Soldier bo
nus legislation Is dead, at least so
far as this session of congress is
concerned. The executive branch of
the government has warned congress
that such a measure at this time
would strain the nation's finances and
add to the difficulties of the coun
try's business institutions.
President Harding Is more or leas
committed to a soldier bonus. He Is on
record to leaders of the American
Legion advising them "not to worry
about bonus." But he could not give
it his approval at this time.
HARDINt; FOLLOWED ADVICE
Secretary Mellon of the treasury de
partment, who has just written the sen
ate a letter arguing against the passage
of a bonus bill, had the full support
of Mr. Harding before he communicated
with congress.
Mr. Harding was uitable to run coun
ter to the advice given him by the
treasury department and for the present
at least the legislation will be deferred.
Even without Secretary Melton's letter
there was no assurance that the soldier
bonus bill would pass both houses. The
plan was to rush it through the senate,
of course, and It may yet go through
that body for moral effect, but it is
doubtful whether house leaders would
have let It through at this time.
Mr. Melton's letter makes It easier,
however, for congressmen to answer the
demands of constituents for action on
the bonus. They can make Mr. Mellon

Washington, July 8. F o r m e r
President Woodrow Wilson is doing
some writing and legal stud;.
Mrs. Wilson Is devoting almost her
entire time and attention to helping her
husband in reference work and In
battling the depressing influences of
Washington's torrid weather.
Former Secretary Joseph P. Tumulty
has completed 'some 40.000 words of his
memolres portraying dramatic incidents
In Wilson's eight years at the White
Bouse and is practicing law. -'
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, private phy
iclan to the former president, is prac
ticing his profession and preparing some
papers on the road to health and hap
piness. WILSON'S HEALTH MENDS
Thus the first summer out of the White
House for fhe former "executive fam
ily' has brought its changes.
Wilson is now in the best health he
has been in some months. He is occu
pied with his writings and with consid
eration of several international law
f ,n fin which have been laid before the
firm of Wilson Colby.
The firm Is In conference frequently
at the Wilson home. No office has been
set up in Washington, although Wilson
recently took his oath before the courts.
As for the political situation, it might
be stated that the former president has
decided tpon silence for some time as
his course. He is an interested observer
but intends to keep out of the melee.
Mrs. Wilson in private life has found
her duties much the same as her last
year In the White House, when the pres
ident was ill. She tends personally to
the ordering of all his meals.
WIFE ASSORTS MAIL
She assorts his mall for him In the
morning and takes care of the replies to
some of it, while her brother, John Ran
dolph Boiling, handles much of the rou
tine secretarial work. Both in the for
mer president's own huge library and
occasionally in the congressional library
here, Mrs. Wilson does much reference
work for her husband which he utilises
in his writing.
When rest times comes, Mrs. Wilson
reads to him from his favorite books
poetry and. detective stories as she did
through his long White House illness, or
drives with him about the country in
their automobile. Neither the former
president nor Mrs. Wilson plan to get
away from Washington this summer.
TUMULTY BUST WHITING
Former Secretary Tumulty baa de
cided to remain here to devote all his
spare time to his forthcoming book. He
expects to have it out within two or
three months. Contrary to pre? lofts re
ports. Admiral Grayson is not collabor
ating with Tumulty en the volume.
Grayson, for the moment, tm primarily
interested in the new boy arrival at his
home the third son and attempting to
settle the problem of whether be will
prepare his boys for the farm, the navy
or the medical profession. His duties
at the naval dispensary occupy the bal
ance of his time.

for six or eight hours, a victim of
poison. Mulder was 60 years old
and was "last employed by the Mult

ency on account of lack of employ

his suicide.
Fire started at 11 :20 p. m. from the
fourth story of the building at ISC
Sherman street. Fire Marshal Grenfell
and Captain Day spent half the night in
trying to find out the cause, snd have
partly come to the conclusion that it
was "smoker's carelessness" In one of
the rooms.
Because of the efficiency of the fire
alarm In the building all the occupants
escaped, with sufficient notice. The loss
to the building Is estimated to be $4000
and to the contents about $1800. The
fire started on the top floor, which was
considerably damaged by flames. The
floors beneath are damaged by water.
The apartment building Is the prop
erty of J. R. Hale. (16 Front street, and
