nothing to do with the question of rail

Mexico City. Oct, 25. The shortness
of the wheat crop Is greater than was
estimated a fe wweeks ago. and mill
men are looking for the entire removal
of the duty on American and Canadian
wheat by the first of the year. The
city bakers have reduced the shoe of
their loaves, asserting that U Is impos
sible to give the same, weight as for
merly. There nre some stocks of
wheat in the hands of large farmers
here, but not sufficient to bring down
the price, which is steadily climbing.
The price of corn is also rising, the
advance lielng over 50 per cent, as
compared with the prices In August
This causes hardship among the poor.
There Is a possibility of the duty on
corn being abated.

h Itox-vHl's First Visit to the Stale
of Arkansas.
Little Rock. Ark.. Oct. 25. The
president made his first public ap
pearance in Arkansas clad mainly in
a vain coat. Secretary Loeb received
a request that the president speak late
last night, but did not feel Justified In
waking his chief. Early this morning,
with whistles and shouts, a crowd as
sembled to hear Roosevelt and awoke
the president, who called for an ex
planation. He donned a raincoat over
his pajamas and stood in the drench
ing rain, the first encountered on this
trip, and spoke.
Hefore reaching Fort Logan H.
Root the president was photographed
with the members of the party.
Last night at Hlrmlngham a local
detective approached the president's
carriage. Loeb ordered him back. The
detective indignantly replied. "I'm a
secret Service man." "Don't care."
said Loeb. "Don't get too dose." The
man pressed forward. Loeb hit him
on the Jaw with his fist nnd sent him
staggering back Into the crowd. The
train reached Fort Hoot at 9:15.
i Remarkable Siwcch of Governor Davis
The president was met at Fort Root
by Governor Davis, Senator Clark and
a guard of 13 Confederate and 13
Union soldiers. General Dan Jones
commanding the Confederates and
Colonel A. S. Fowler the Union sol-
i dlers. Colonel Fowler rode forward to
the president and said, "The Blue and
Gray salute you." The president shook
hands with each member of the guard,
reviewed the troops and proceeded to
the city.
Governor Davis, in his address of
welcome, praised the state, Roosevelt
and the nation and then launched Into
a fierce defense of lynch law. His
remarks were received unfavorably.
One gentleman on the stand said, "We
don't stand for him here."
RiHMTvett Denounces Lynch Law.
The president answered Davis: "You
spoke of tho hideous crime committed
by members of the colored race. No
one abhors that more than I do. and
any such creature should be ruthless
ly hunted nnd punished to the extent
of the law." A burst of cheering In
terrupted the president. He held up
his clenched fist for silence and as the
noise subsided he said:
"Now as for the side of the white
man. The man who punishes an ab
horrent crime bj the commission of
another crime JOst as abhorrent, de
bases himself to the level of the brute
who committed the crime first. We
owe It. governor,, to ourselves, to the
community In which we live, to the
nation, that lynch law be put down."
The crowd seemed to agree with
the president and a great wave of ap
plause broke forth and swept over the
field.
The grandstand fell Just as the
president finished. No one wns hurt.
The drop to the ground was only
about three feet. There was some ex
citement. The president leaves for Memphis
and New Orleans. '
Roosevelt Spoke at Little Rock.
Little Rock, Oct. 26. The president,
headed by an escort and accompanied
by the reception committee, reached
the city Just before noon. The streets
were packed with people and every
housetop wns covered by the curious.
The president was loudly cheered as
he rode along, constantly rising and
bowing his thanks to the people. He
drove to the city park, where an Im
mense throng gathered about the
speakers' stand. Governor Davis wel
comed the president In behalf of the
state, and other welcoming addresses
preceded his own address.

Method of Holding ami Increasing
Interior Trade Is Needed.
The following from the Raker City
Democrat Is worthy of the most seri
ous consideration of Pendleton Com
mercial association. While the con
dition is exaggerated by the Baker
City paper, yet It Is largely true, and
Is a matter which vitally affects Pen
dleton. Some method of competing for the
trade of the district which is being
tapped by the Sumpter Valley rail
road has been under discussion among
Pendleton merchants for a number of
years, but as yet nothing definitely
has been done.
That some of the trade which for
merly came to Pendleton from the
Grant county district Is now going to
Baker over the Sumpter Valley Is true,
but not In any large degree.
The Democrat says:
in every hand is beard the unqual-i

It gives those communities not only
transcontinental rail connection, but
direct rail line with Haker City instead
of heavy freighting some 200 miles by

Here the benefit arises In tlie con
