FINED FOR CONTEMPT.
Rumors of the establishment of a
wool scouring mill at Elgin, accord
lng to F. E. 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."
The Pendleton scouring mill has a
wool press nt Elgin and ship the pro
duct In the grease to this city.
Mr. Judd said that the Pendleton
Woolen Mills would resume opera-

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.

The completed schedule for the

there are two or three uncertnlntleV
about nlace and Individuals not yet
determined. It Is not known when
Rev. Brooks, of the Christian church,
will arrive, nnd tho time of his arriv
al will influence the time and plnco
of his preaching for a union meotlng,
and also the use of the Christian
church, will arrive, and the time of
his arrival will Influence the time and
place of his preaching for a union
meeting, and also the use of the

The llttlo building which has for

first on one side of Main street and
then on the other, has been torn down
nnd removed from tno corner of Main

never been either "n thing of beauty
or a Joy forever." It had more angles
tnan a work on geometry, and less
architectural symmetry than n spav
ined dry goods box. It had been the
tomb of many financial hopes and had
been "in more hands" than a silver
quarter of the first vintage coined.
