Judd, goneral manager of the Pendleton Scouring Mill, Is peh haps without foundation. "I believe the erection of a scouring plant nt Elgin to be Impracticable," he said this morning. "There is but one road into Elgin and to succeed a scouring mill needs railroad competition. "Here In Pendleton we have the Northern Pacific and the Harrlman line and w.e get a rate. The same is true at The Dalles, where we have both water and rail transportation. "Our company endeavored to start a plant nt Boise, but the Union Paci fic refused to make us a rate. It had our trade anyhow, but here It is dif ferent." iJh Judd says the talk of a scouring mill at Elgin may have been started by the fanners, who discussed a co operative proposition. "Scouring plants," he continued, "cost money, and I nm Inclined to the belief that the Elgin story is merely a rumor."

FOUR PER CENT INTERE8T ALLOWED. nvented and Patented by a Former Pendleton Man. Alfred Holdaway. of Salt Lake City, has invented and patented a machine for treating wheat and other grain with vitriol, or any other preparation for making it immune against smut and "rust. Hlthorto the e6'mmonest pro cess lius been simple shoveling ov.er of the grain in a bin or vat, a method that Is superficial and unsatisfactory. This is not the only mechanical de vice that has been contrived to do this work, by any means; nevertheless, it Is believed to be the first that is successful. In effect, it is an agita tor, anil in an astonishingly short time vrill treat a large amount of grain and do It with absolute thoroughness and uniformity. The contrivance will be introduced into the wheat growing regions of the Northwest the coming fall, probably by .Mr. Holdaway In person. Alfred Holdaway Is a brother of Charles Holdaway of Pendleton, and Is quite well known to many people here, having spent several months here last year. E.'-W; McComas Believes 1904 Crop Will Be Poorer Milling Than That of Last Year. ".More wheat has been shipped to points In tho eastern part of tho United State. lroni Oregon during the season of 1303 and 1904, than ever be tore," said n. W. McComas, local agent for tho Nortnwestern Wnre lio'"e Company. "The sending of Or- egua whent to .Minnesota may sound like itliipiilug coal to Newcastle, but It Is nevertheless true." Just how much whent has left tho Inland Empire for the East, Mr. Mc Cnmns says It Is Impossible to state. He Bays that while the yield this summer will bo very large the qua! lty for milling purposes will not be as good as last year. "This Is due," ho explained, "because of the wet weath er. It takes a dry year to make firm hard grain for milling uses. "The new crop Is fast seasoning and it will soon bo classed with the old. Prices today are about 56 cents for club and t0 cents for blueutem, with the old crop a cent or two nbove that figure." UNION SERVICES. Appointment for Next Sunday Schedule Not Completed.
