To Receive Allowance .Must Lire In tlx Stnte I Ionic Olympla, Wash., July 26. The state board of control has been noti fied by the national board having con trol of soldiers' home funds that sol diers who live with their families outside of the soldiers' home and ro celve aid therefrom must be dropped from the rolls upon which the appor tionment of government funds to the home Is based. The home receives $100 a year for each inmate. The last legislature passed a law permitting old soldiers to reside with their families in Ortlng nnd receive clothing and subsistence from the I home to the amount of $100 per year. The government regulation providing that homes giving nld to soldiers not Inmates of the Institution could not receive aid from the gov ernment aroused a fear that the home in this state would be cut off com pletely fom government aid. which amounts to $25,000 yearly. The new law nnd regulation will cut down the amount to a considerable extent, but will not be fatal to tho successful maintenance of the Institution with funds provided by tho legislature.

FEED CHEAPER HY COMPARISON WITH I Ita ilKS OF YEAR A;0. PENDLETON jvestlgatlon of the affairs of the Equi table Life Assurance society. At the Loose liny Plentiful, Hut Ratal Hay close of the day Mr. Jerome Issued Is Yery Difficult to Secure Heavy; the following statement, on which he Movements Daily In All Kinds of (irnln Feed Owing to the Active IVmunris From the Hnrvesl Holds -Cliopiieri Italicy In the Ascendan cy for Demand, While it Is $2 Per Tn ClienixT Than Ijist Year. All kinds of feed are cheaper in rciiuinun now man ai mis time last year, although hay Is much scarcer and more difficult to secure. Chopped barley Is now selling at $22 per ton. while last year at this time It wns worth $24 per ton. Bran is worth $19 and shorts f'fl. while the former was worth $20 and the latter $22 at this time last year. Baled hay is now worth from $16 to $17 per ton nnd there is very little In stock in local feed stores. Loose hay is plentiful but baled hay Is al most out of the question. The movement In all kinds of grain feed Is very heavy now, as manv of the combined harvesters feed chop ped barley almost exclusively. Four and six horse teams are loaded In the city every day for different parts o. the farming district and shipments from this city to various parts of the county are also made every day. FOR HIGH WHEAT PRICKS. Prosieroiis Year Ahead for North west Formers. Minneapolis. Minn.. July 26. Everything In sight indicates that the wneai iiirniers or tne Northwest ure in for another year of remunerative prices, whether or not a big crop Is raised. It Is doubtful If there ever was a time when Minnesota. North Dakota and South Dakota were so thoroughly denned out of old wheat as at present. The hlglf prices that ruled so long drew the grain Into mnrket, and many a farmer's bin was scraped clean. When the new crop begins to move. there will bo so many holes to fill that conservative grain men do not believe prices can go down very much unless tho farmers are obliged to throw all their early wheat on the market, which seems unlikely In view of the prosperity of the average Northwest wheat raiser.
