Kunkel, who has conducted one of the largeet farming implement es tablishments in this city for the past five years, will dispose of his business and go to Spokane, where he has al ready leased a residence property and where his family will go for the opon Ing of school about September 10. Mr. Kunkel will probably remain In the city until January 1, making the transfer of his property and closing up his business here. While Mr. Kunkel has been highly successful In his line and has built up an Immense trade In the Implement huslness, he has decided to deote his time to one specialty of goods, the Gelser manufactures, Including thresh ing outfits, engines, sawmills and oth er large machinery, and he believes there Is a wide field In the district adjacent to Spokane for a diversified line and this Is his only reason for disposing of his growing business here. For the past three years Mr. Kun kel has occupied two floors in the Ferguson-Maloney building on Main street, next to the East Oregonlan building, and has enjoyed a phenome nal trade In Implements and buggies. Before coming to Pendleton Mr. Kunkel was In business In Spokane for a year and a half and prior to that tlm was in business fot 11 years In Lewlston and Moscow.

Several large concerns hnve been looking over the field here and Mr. Kunkel anticipates no difficulty in disposing of his business. HEAVY TRAVEL IS WESTBOUND INCREASING VOLVME IMMIGRANT BVSINESS, Workinginen and Otlicrs of IJmlted .Means Comprise the Larger Part of the Influx Attracted by High Waste and General Superior Pros poets In the Northwest Seventy Laborers Arrived on No. 1 Thl Morning. At last after several weeks of care ful consideration the county commis sioners have decided upon what to do in the way of repairs to the bridge across the Umatilla at Echo, which) was partly washed out by the flood. To make a 75-foot fill at the west end of the bridge and connect the same with the trestle work by a 60 foot steel span is now the plan of the court. This work, together with some changes In the channel which will be necessary will cost the county about 12000. Within a day or two County Judge Gilllland and Commissioner Walker will go to Echo for the pur pose of viewing the bridge and mak ing arrangements for the Immediate commencement of work. It is not yet decided whether to let the work by contract, or have it done under the di rection of the road "supervisor. Was Hard Problem. The proposition of repairing the Echo bridge was the hardest of those placed up to the county court as a re sult of the floods. At the west ap- proach to the bridge there Is several hundred feet of trestle, and during the flood the water washed away part of this and cut into the west bank, . thereby endangering some valuable land. Recently the citizens of Echo peti tioned to have a 400-foot fill made to replace all the trestle work. However, Judge Gilllland says the court waa afraid such a fill would not withstand the current in high water, and so It was decided to make the 75-foot fill at present, leaving the trestle for the remainder of the distance. The fill will be rip-rapped and at the outer end will connect with a steel span. The steel pier for the span will be set against the end of the fill, thus form ing a bulkhead which should be suf ficient to stand any possible current. By the plan adopted Judge Gilllland says the current will be stopped from further damage to the west bank, and: later the fill may be continued out to the bridge proper. If found desirable. It Is said the people of Echo ace agreeable to the repairs as now planned. JAPAN BUYS SIX ROADS'. After a lull of a month or so in the passenger traffic from the east, it has again tnken on the proportions of a rush, and every west bound train is crowded to the limit. No. 6, the O. R. & N. westbound train, has been loaded to the very limit of its seating capacity for the past week, and the rush is swelling eaCh day. The larger part of the present rush Is made up of worklngmen from the middle states bound for Portland and Spokane. They are attracted 'to the Pacific coast by the demand for labor here, and the promise of high wages. Many of them are tradesmen and many are common laborers, and most of thein reem determined to remain In the country If it Is possible to find work. Large numbers of them have passed through the state of Kansas, where harvesters are in sharp demand, but refused to stop, although they were beoieged at every stop of the train by pleading employment agents who offer fabulous prices ror a lew weeks' work in caring for the bump er crop of Kansas. About 35 men transferred from the main line of the O. R. & N. to the Spokane brnnch this morning, and fully as many more laborers went through to Portland. One peculiar phase of the situation Is that scarcely any of them will stop short of Portland, although assured that Portland Is now sending hundreds of Idlo men every day to the railroad camps ind harvest fields of the Inland empire. They seem determined to ride out their ticket if they have to walk back to eastern Oregon to find a Job. Democrats Plnn Campaign. Washington, July 31.
