3f HAIR
rl O VIGOR
"Nearly forty years ago, ''".after
some weeks of sickness, my hair
turned gray and began falling out
so rapidly that I was threatened
with immediate baldness. Hearing
Ayer's Hair Vigor highly spoken of,
I commenced using - this prepara-
tion, and was so well satisfied with
the result that I have never tried
any other kind of dressing. It stop
ped the hair from falling out, stimu
lated a new growth of hair, and kept
the scalp free from dandruff. Only
an occasional application is now
needed to keep my Jiai.r.' of good,
natural color. I never hesitate to
recommend anv of Ayer's medicines
to my friends." Mrs. II. M. Haight,

A BIG WHEAT COMBINATION.
Agreement Entered Into by the Buyers
to Depress the Market.
The East Oregonian springs a sensfc
tion in the Pendleton community by
charging that the North Pacific coast
anarket is. in the hands of a combination
which has for its object the still further
depression of a market which now bare
ly affords the producer the expenses of
raising wheat. ' -'
For several weeks the East Oregonian
has been making a quiet canvass and
has found evidence that the various
grain buyers whose business center in
Portland have combined to depress the
price of wheat and rob the producer. It
will be observed that in Pendleton the
buying is almost entirely confined to
the two mills. Of course, some wheat
goes to other buyers, bat almost none
excepting that which has been delivered
subject to chattel mortgage. The free
baying is confined'to the mills. In form
er seasons the elevator companies and
the mills have all been in the , market
. and the consequence was that Pendleton
was a good market for the cereal.
.These are facts an -agreement has
been entered into whereby-the two mills
are given undisputed possession of the
Pendleton wheat market. -'"-
They buy now as much wheat as they
have capital to purchase. By reason of
lack of competition, the mills . are en-
abled to bay at lower prices than would
prevail were the .other . bnyenr.- in the
market.' When the mills- have bought
all they can take with the capital they
have, the other buyers will -come in and
take the balance.
Later in the milling season, the mills
will, have ground all .the wheat they pur
chased under the arrangement now in
force, and thev will Twant some more
wheat. - Then the "elevator companies
will come forward with their wheat, eell
it to the mills and make the , profit on
the sale as compensation forjkeeping out
of the Pendleton market now.
Here is the way it balances, and each
party is benefited. The mills can bay
now with no competition from the eleva
tor companies. The mills purchase on
ly enough for a limited period of flour
grinding. So after a while the elevator
companies can buy with no competition
from the mills and bring it here and eell
it to them. It is a mutual exchange of
courtesies and 'profits. - Regarding the
existence of this agreement, the East
Oregon ian is in possession of informa
tion 'which permits it to make the asser
tion as a positive fact, and with the
knowledge that no one can successfully
contradict it. "
So far, then, as the Pendleton end ' of
the arrangement is concerned, it is a
settled fact that' the combination has
been made and the market pat in -condition
so the wheat offered can be bought
advantageously by the local mills.' So
far as concerns the outside featuies and
the effect of the combination on other
market points, the evidence, in the
opinion of several gentlemen of high
standing who were consulted by the
East Oregonian on the subject, is that
the most of the buying companies are in
the agreement and will attempt to de
press the saeson's -market prices by
avoiding competition.
The Pleasures of Youth.
esterday' afternoon between 2 and 4
o'clock was a memorable one for some
two pcore of little folks who were enter
tained at Mrs. J. T. Peters' residence by
little Helen and Grace Peters. After an
hour's play they were ranged up on the
south side of the lawn and given plates
of lemon ice and cake, which disap
peared in quite a matter of fact way,
considering the fairy-like appearance
the little ones presented, with -their
dainty costumes of spotless white or
glimmering . pink. Their bright eyes,
which accented their beautiful baby-like
faces, betokened the pleasure they were
enjoying, and later their, fluffy" hair,
vieing in attractiveness with fluttering
and gaily-colored bits of ribbon, was
confined with unique paper caps which
were found in some candy of wonderful
architecture, which they investigated
with delight. The following were the
little folks who participated in an event
that marks a milestone in their lives:
Katherine and .Wallace Taylor, Nita
and Crystal Bennett, Guy and Winni

Tbe Dalles a Business Town.
A Dalles correspondent of the Oregon
ian speaks at length in today's issue of
our mammoth business interests. He
tells of 750,000 pounds of wool, which
will be shipped this week on consign
ment by Mr. Pease. , This will be the
largest shipment so far this season, and
will bring the total amount thus far
shipped np to about 2,000,000 pounds.
There is also a strong ' movement
of salmon,' wheat and : fruit from
The . Dalles ', now. Seufert - Bros,
and Herrick's canneries have shipped
a total of 10,000 caseB of Salmon this
season. The Dalles Commission Com
pany has a number of carloads of prunes
and sugar plums, on - which very fair
prices have been ' realized. The report
concludes with a complimentary, refer
ence to the fine new business blocks of
Max Vogt and A. M. Williams & Co.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MEXICO.
The Miserable Condition of the Labor
ing Classes.
. Oregonian.
Mr. T. Viggere, of Fulton, near this
city, has just received a letter from his
nephew, William Viggars, who lives in
Durango, Mexico. He expresses aston
ishment that any portion of the people
of the United States should for a moment
regard free silver with favor, and says,
among other things : '
"Labor in this town is paid from stars
to stars, as they call it, 30 to 35 cents a
day, and those that are working on the
ranches or farms get less, and this in
corn and provisions. At our works we
never paid for common labor more -than
45 cents a day, and provisions are much
higher-than ' with - yon. ; For instance,
corn is worth $1.60 a bushel,' and -beans
$3; lard; 30c. ' Flour,4 the poor people
never use. Ihis is worth about 6 'to '7
cents a pound, and meat IS to 25 cents
per pound. Th poor people wear noth
ing but white calico of a coarse kind ; and
it costs about 12 to 15 cents a yard.
Now, take China, India, or any of the
Southern republics, and the same "thing
exists. Do the- masses of the great
United States of America want to ex
change places with these ' people? If
they adopt the - free coinage of silver
hey surely will. ' '
"Your whole country will be depre
ciated one-half, if such a thing does
come to pass. Uncle, get out of it. Go
