SEARS ANP ROEIUCK A PART
OF WAU. STREET.
Bi8 Mall Order Hon Has Posed as
the FYlonil of the Farmer ami the
Kneiny of Monopoly Hut it Is Sliown
That it Is Owned by the Octopusf of
Wall Street.
The General Merchants' Review, a
trade publication of Chicago, exposes
the Peart", Roebuck and company In
their duplicity. This big firm which
has enjoyed a large mall order busi
ness, hns claimed all along to be op
posed to the trusts and monopolies,
but It Is shown that It Is a part of the
Wall street gang, which has systemat
ically robbed the people for years. The
Review says:
The philanthropic methods of Pears.
Roebuck & Co., have been exposed by
themselves in their latest move to
convert their mammoth mall order
ref ill business Into a huge J40. 000.000
merchandise trust.
By the action they have taken, is
shown verv plainly that they have de
ceived their customers for years by
their false arguments about the far
mer getting the advantage of their
ability to buy in large quantities and
thus save him money cn their pur
chases. They have given themselves
the lie In plainer terms than any one
else possibly could have done, in their
move to merge the entire business In
to a giant trust.
The profits that were alleged to
have been turned back to the country
customer, have In reality been fed
into Wall streeet and now all In one
lump Wall street is to reecive II.
500.000 of real hard farmer coin while
Wall street gamblers are to get a
hand In this rich pie and hereafter
guide the course and determine the
destinies of the big rural supply
houe.
Sears. Roebuck & Co. have boasted
for vears that thev have sold at less
prices than the the retailer couid buy
for. and all that sort of rot, which
every merchandise man and every
honest retailer knew was the vilest of
falsehoods.
Refute Their Own Argument
They have alleged that their busi
ness was run in the Interests of the
farmers and that they were satisfied
with small profits, and that they
were willing to turn all above a small
margin hack Into the hands of th
farmers.
Now comes this giant merger. They
state themselves that their business
amounts to $5,000,000 a month, and
that one year's profits were $3,000,000.
This leaves out an added investment
In buildings and equipment equal to
nearly twice that sum.
It Is very evident that Wall street
has had an Interest In the business all
along and now the whole affair Is go
ing to pass Into the hands of the worst
set of gamblers the world knows, and
the fr rmer puts up the money.
Not long ago they started a
scheme to gather in the country coin
on which they agreed to pay Interest
at the rate of 7 per cent. At the time
there was much speculation as to
what this move was for.
Now comes the cheering Informa
tion that the new $40,000,000 trust is
to Issue $10,000,000 worth of 7 per
cent preferred stock, and that the firm
members will retain a million of thli
for themselves.
FARMERS WILI, ORGANIZE.
Sherman County Will Imitate VmaUIla
With an Association.
The farmers of Sherman county
will Imitate the Umatilla county
whtsatgrowers. In the formation of
an association for mutual advance
ment. George N. Crossfield, of Wasco,
who attended the meeting In this city
last Saturday, has returned home
highly enthusiastic over the first steps
taken by Umatilla county farmers and
will urge the farmers of Sherman
county to hurry up their organliatlon
While In eastern Oregon Mr: Cross-
field visited Union county and also
went to Walla Walla and Spokane, and
found that a farmers' organization
similar to the Inland Empire Wheat
growers' association is now in exis
tence In Spokane.
The Spokane Grain & Supply com
pany, an association or farmers capt
tallied at $1,000,000 last year saved
sufficient on grain sales by organlz
ing a pool, and also in the matter of
freight rates and the purchase of sacks
to amount to a dividend of 2 cents per
bushel on each bushel of grain mar
keted. This dividend was actually paid
to the members of the organization
last season, as profits from the organization.
Sherman county produces about 2,-
000.000 bushels of wheat annually and
is the second county in the state In
wheat yield. Umatilla leading. The
farmers of that county are anxious to
have a jute plant Installed at the Or
egon penitentiary for the purpose of
manufacturing grain and wool sacks
for Oregon. This matter will be plac
ed before the nxt session of the legis
lature by the representatives of the
farming Interest of the state.
"" A Hamas Ralasaamde.
Some years ago a Spaniard named
Martlnes gave one of the most extraor
dinary exhibitions on record. It was
t the New Tlvoll, In Paris, In the
presence of an audience of scientific
men, who placed Its genuineness be
yond doubt A large oven had been
heated by a furnace for several hours.
This the Spaniard entered, clothed Id
flannel trousers and shirt, a large cloak
of the same material and a felt som
brero. He sang a Bong while a fowl
was roasted by his side and at the end
of fifteen minutes came out again, tho
temperature registered being between
WS degrees and 312 degrees F., ot
about 100 degrees above the tempera
ture of boiling water. lie entered the
oven a second time and ate the fowl
Which bad been roasted beside htm
After a short pause he was shut In,
eying on a board surrounded by can
dles. After awhile the audience raised
a cry of "Enough!" The door wai
opened. The oven was found to be
full of noxious, suffocating odor of boil
ing tallow, the sole survival of the
candles. The Spaniard came out and
after a cold bath was well and strong.
His pulse when the door was first
opened leot 170 to the minute.

St. Peter's Chair.
Rome itself Is spoken of as the chair
or throne of St. I'eter by some enrly
writers, but the actual episcopal chair
which be Is believed to have occupied
may still be seen In St. Peter's, a worm
eaten wooden structure, preserved In a
bronze covering, says the London
Chronicle. It Is from such chnlrs of
enisconal and other authority, of
course, that we got tho phrase "ex ca
thedra" nud the word "cathedral, an
abbreviation of "cathedral church," the
church that contains the bishop's ca
thedra or chair. Some of the uses In
old fashioned English of the adjective
"cathedral" seem quaint now. "Cathe
dral dogmatism" meant not the dog
matlsm of a dean and chapter, but that
of any one who spoke with an assump
tion of authority. A "cathedral beara
was a broad beard of a fashion an
ciently worn by bishops, and In John
son's time "cathedral" seems to have
been slang for "antique."
The American Sunday School union
was established in 1824. since which
time It has sveraged four new schools
organized every day In the year. Last
year 2641 Sunday schools were organ
ized in the United States and 95,000
new workers enrolled.
How Little Ravings Roll I'p.
If a parent deposits ?1 at the birth of
the child and odds at each succeeding
anniversary of the birthday a number
of dollurs equal to the number of years,
the amount by the time the sonordaugh-
ter Is twenty -one years old, computed a
4 per cent Interest, compounded semi
annually, will equal $3()0. This would be
a substantial nest egg to begin life wltn,
The man who deposits only 25 cents
a week, drawing 4 per cent, compound

It at the end of five years $73, at the
end of ten years $1(12, at the end of
twenty years $403 ond at the end of
