CAPITALIZATION OF THE
TRUST IS $10,000,000.
Portland, Puget Sound, Spokane and
California Mills In the Combine;
Theodore W'lct.y, c Portland, the
Prime Mover.
The Pacific Coast Flour Mills mer
ger will mean that the individual
flour produced will be driven from
business, frozen out! and will .'li-ally
be compelled to unite his pigmy in
terests of the great trust. He will be
absorbed. That is the view taken in
Walla Walla, says the Union, uf the
announcement which was made yes
terday morning through the Associat
ed Press telegram in effect that, with
a capitalization of $10,000,000, tin?
following flour producing companies
have banded together to control
northwest trade and oriental sup
plies: Portland Flouring Mills com
pnny, Puget Sound Flouring Mills Co.,
Ccntennila Mills, of Seattle, and
Spokane, and "the Sperry Mills of
California.
For several years Wilcox, with his
lino of mills, throughout the north
west, has virtually controlled the
flour output of the this section. There
is on the Portland Flouring Mills
company's string twelve or four
teen mills along the line of the- Ore
gon Railroad and Navigation com
pany's road, these being in operation
in connection with the Pacific Coast
Elevator company in wheat buying
and shipping. The Puget Sound
Warehouse company is on the same
circuit. For years the Wilcox com
bination .controlled virtually the Chi
nese trade in flour by reason of its
being able to furnish almost exclu
sively the stronger flour which the
Chinamen demanded and which can
not be produced in California.
But There Were Others.
Others saw the possibility of an
active competition and thought there
was life for two companies. In con
sequence the Centennial Milling com
pany came into existence, with head
quarters at, Spokane. Eight mills arc
operated by that firm, and the same
class of flour Is manufactured that
was "being sold by the Wilcox syndi
cate to Chinese consumers.
However, the plan did not work out
as well as was expected, and it soon
became apparent, it is said, that there
was no great amount of money for
either firm in the flour making busi
ness with open competition in the
field. About the same time the Cal
ifornia people awoke to the realiza
tion of the fact that the north Pacific
coast mills were getting an edge on
the oriental trade and that a combi
nation would restore to them some
of the lost prestige while it might
also open eastern markets in the
United States to northwest flour
which would not otherwise find an
outlet.
As a consequence plans for merg
ing the Interests of the three big
firms have been under advisement
for some time. The Sp-irry mills in
California have the same grip on the
flour producing sections of that state
as Wilcox has on the northwest, and
there is little doubt expressed here
that in the event a merger is consum
mated the three firms named will vir
tually control the entire coast trade
It Will Reduce Expenses.
A reduction of the expenses in oM
ce work and a number of clerical
employes in another immense item of
saving which is to be reckoned witli
in connection with a combination. It
is stated here that fully $75,000 a
year could be saved by the "omblm"
interoo. in ll:s manner alon Then
a forcing upward of the mdiket of
only a few cents on a barrel of flour
would r n iiilt ic the end of the year
in a gain of millions.
The Individual mill owners in the
northwest arc stared In the face with
a gradual but certain squeeze which
will ultimately drive them to the wall
or force them into line with the combination.

No Council Meeting.
There was no council meeting last
night. This was the night for the
regular meeting, which is the first
meeting in the month, tho time for
allowing all the regular monthly bills,
but there was no quorum. Those pres
ent wero called to order by Council
man Haftman and the role called with
J. E. Beam acting as recorder. Those
to answer were: Hartman, Switzler,
Frazier and SommerviHe. Absent:
Mayor Hailey, Councilmen Clopton,
Johnson, Dickson and Wells. There
was no reason given for the absence
of the mayor- and the four councilmen
further than the fact that there was
little business to transact and they
stayed away.
Charles W. Zelgler Chosen Coach and
Manager of the Pendletons.
A meeting of the managers of tho
Pendleton Baseball Association was
held at the rooms of tho Commercial
Club Wednesday evening for tho pur
pose of getting acquainted with Chas.

Baseball Notes.
It is announced today that John H.
Bolln, called the "Kansas Cyclone,"
has been engaged to pitch for tho
Spokane baseball team. Ho was with
the Wlnfleld, Kan., team last year.
Mayor Bookwalter, of Indianapolis,
states that he would not allow Sun
day baseball in that city, because it
would bo in violation of tho state law.
This will disarrange tho American As
sociation schedule. Manager WatkhiB
says there will bo Sunday ball or no
ball at all.
EGGS AND CHICKENS.
The Local Market Well Supplied With
bggs at 20 Cents a Dozen.
Eggs are 20 cents per dozen in tho
local market and there are more eggs
than demand. Two weeks ago tho
price wns 35 cents and they wero
scarcer than tho proverbial "lion's
teeth," but, as a local grocoryman
said today, "It never rains but it
pours." The cold snap of January
caused tho henB to refuse to do their
usual amount of labor and almost a
famine was tho result, but a week of
spring weather, such as wo havo had
recently, has moved tho Oregon hens
to again perform the duties of provid
ing tho market with eggs and tho
price has dropped down to 20 cents
retail, with a good prospect of them
being j.u cents In a short time.
Chickens aro still commanding a
high price, they being quoted at" $4
per dozen for almost any kind.
Blow From Unexpected Source.
Senator Gebhardt, democrat, haB in
troduced a bill In the senate of tho
Now Jersey legislature to repeal and
dissolve the charter and corporate ex
istence of tho Northern Securities
Company. Tho bill has a long pream
ble, in which it 1b stated, among other
things, that the company has organ
ized to enable tho Northern Pacific
Railroad Company and tho Great
Northern railway to violate tho laws
of several states and interfere with
their revenues and also to destroy the
competition in passenger and freight
rates that existed between these rail
roads. The preamblo goes on to say
that tho organization has aroused
great public indignation and that the
governor of Minnesota has already In"
stituted suit to prevent tho consum
mation of the illegal and injurious
purpose Bought to be accomplished by
the formation of tho securities com
pany, The bill was referred to tho
committee on corporations.

The pearl hunters of Borneo and tho
adjacent Islands have a peculiar super
stition. When they open shells In
Bearch of pearls, thoy t-iho every ninth
find, whether it be large or small, and
put It into a bottle which is kept cork
ed with a dead man's finger. Tho
pearls in tho vial are known as "seed
pearls" or "breeding pearls," and tho
native Borneose firmly believes that
they will reproduce their kind. For ev
ery pearl put Into the vlnl two gralnn
of rice are thrown In for the pearls to
"feed upon."
Some whites in Borneo lelieve aH
firmly In the superstition nH the na

tho coast has its "dead linger" bottle,
with from nine to fifty Heed pearls and
twice that number of rice grains care
fully and evenly stowed away among
them.
Children's I'lny In Clernmny.
It Is a common belief in south Ger
many that if children play soldlerH
very often In the street there is a war
coming, and if they play "fimerul" an
epidemic will come over the land, and
many deaths will result. The relator
of this tells that, when a boy, hu with
others played "funeral" In front oC
the house of an old miser In his native
town lu Germany. The miser became
much excited and exclaimed, "I will
not die yet!" and made complaint to
the mayor that the boys uhould be ar
rested and punished.
