THIU'IY-TWO HOUSES RUNAWAY
Mrclilno and Several Animals Were
Duir.ngctf.
J. I. Joy of the threshing firm of
Joy Si Stanton, was In town today
and while here told of an exciting
combine runaway which they had near
Helix several days ago.
Thee were 32 horses hitched to the
machine, and at the time of the run
away the machine was at work and
the horses became frightened at the
noise made by '.he patent hitches that
were In use. The entire 32 head got
beyond control of the driver and ran
for 200 yards before they finally
"piled" In a small canyon.
At the outcome of the runaway the
machine was found to have been bad
ly damaged, while several of the best
horses were considerably Injured.
Herbert Ruppe the high school
student, was tending separator on the
machine.
During the runaway the driver held
to his high seat, and though he was
In grove danger came out with no In
jury. Had be been Jolted from his
seat it wculd have meant death, as tho
would doubtless have been crushed
by the machine.
PERSONAL
MENTION
NO PAVING INJUNCTION.
Dan .1. Malarky Hero for Ploiwiire,
Noi for Warfare.
The presence In the city today of
Pan J. Malarky, who Is an attorney
for the Barber Asphalt company,
caused n suspicion for a time that he
was here to secure an Injunction to
prevent the Warren company from
carrying out Its paving contract.
However, the rumor was found to
be unfounded as the Multnomah sen
ator's mission in Pendleton proved to
be one of pleasure Instead of warfare.
To City Attorney John McCourt he
stated that he was not here to secure
an injunction and thnt no efforts In
thnt direction were to be taken by
the Barber people.
Mr. Malarky Is here for the purpose
of visiting the Cunningham ranch,
where his boy Is now staying.
Cuiuula Will IYcl England.
Senator Perley, a pioneer farmer
of the Canadian northwest, who last
year said that within n decade the Do
minion would produce sufficient
wheat annually to feed all the people
of the British isles, now declares at
Ottawa that this will be accomplished
within the next five years. The size
of this task Is evident by the state
ment that the United Kingdom buys
yearly about 60,000,000 hundredweight
of wheat and 20,000.000 hundred
weight of wheat flour. The Canadian
statistics show exports of $21,759,823
home-grown wheat nnd $2,744,153
wheat flour to Great Britain for the
nine months ending March 31. The
British statistics show much less
wheat received from Canadu.

He was well pleased with what he

districts In that section.
Although his plans have not been
fully decided upon It Is very probable
that he will pick out some desirable

In this state. Wyoming has hundreds
of thousands i f acres, which can ba

PRINK PRICES DROP.
Price Is Now Hut 1 ', Cents Again
2', Last Year.
A special to the Oregonlan from
Salem, Ore., says: Step by step, the
prune market in Oregon has dropped
down from a 2 'A -cent basis early In
the scuson to a 114 -cent hnsls now.
Whether the bottom price has been
reached Is a question upon which
opinions differ and which will prob
ably be determined chiefly by the
course growers pursue In selling. East
em Jobbers are confident that the
price will be no higher, and some of
them assert that it will i-n .
fore the crop is marketed. The prices
quoted are those paid to growers.
Packers get one-half cent more.
Early sales of the AVillamette Valley
Prune association were made at as
high as 2 cents, or 214 cents for the
grower and at this price and a quar
ter of a cent less, about 4 0 cars were
disposed of by the association for Oc
tober nnd November shipment. Be
tween this figure and the presnt price
about half the Oregon crop has been
sold nnd the market seems now to be
ramer inactive. Home sales are being
mane, uut growers who did not sell at
the higher prices seem disposed to
wait now for further developments.

Over 40 Bodies Dug Up by Itellc
Haulers and Ghouls.
Word has been received at Chema
wa that more than 40 Indian graves
have been desecrated in South Salem,
Oregon, In the vicinity of Harbor, In
Curry county, by parties searching for
Indian money and relics. Sonie of
the bodies dug up had not been burled
more than a year ami a half. The re
mains were scattered over the ground
and left for the dogs and coyotes to
devour.
The Indians are very indignant ovei
the matter and have appealed to Su
perlntendent Frank Kgsclkn, the
agent of the Hoopa reservation, who
has general supervision over the 111
dlans of that neighborhood.
If the federal authorities will take
a hand In this It may go hard with
the ghouls. Four persons have been
urrested by the local authorities on
Information made, but the officials
are very Indifferent concerning the
matter and not much is expected to
come of the arrests.

It would be possible, then, for the
state to have the certificates of pur
chase surendered to the state. By
refunding the payments made thereon
which would leave the state the orig
inal owner of the lands and entitled
to use them as base.
The state land department, however,
has no power under the law to take
such step, so the only way to do It
will be for the legislature to pass an
act authorizing It and the matter will
be brought to the attention of the next
assembly with that end In view.
The state of Oregon Is the loser to
the extent of over a million dollars
by the advance knowledge obtained
by speculators in school lands, of the
Intention of the government to estab
lish the Blue mountain forest reserve.
The reserve embraces altogether
about 175 townships nnd In each of
those townships nre two school sec
tion1; 16 and 38 which means 224,-
000 acres.
Tending the final decision of the
government to create the reserve, the
speculators who possessed Inside
knowledge had filed applications with
the siate land department for the pur
chase of perhaps 10 per cent of the
school lands at $1.25 an acre, the ex
pectation being that as soon as tho
.reserve should be proclaimed they
would have the option of holding the
lands or losing them ns a base for se
lection somewhere else.
In this calculation hey were mis
taken. The rlsht to use such lands
as base was taken Away from private
owners and Is now enjoyed by the
state only, so that the scheming avar
ice of the fellow with the "tip" is that
far circumvented.
Previous to the regulations sur
rounding this reserve the Individual
had the same right as the state to use
reserve school sections ns base for se
lections elsewhere, with the additional
privilege In favor of the Individual
that he could select lieu lands In any
state in which he could find public
lands, while the state was confined to
its own terltory.
In this instance the state would have
the best of It were It still the owner
of any large propoitlon of Its 350 sec
tions of land, but unfortunately there
Is only about 10 per cent of it left.
The state could dispose of practically
every acre of It at $7 an acre as base,
whuh would make a net gain to the
school fund of over $1,000,000.
There Is n way In which It Is pos
sible to make the greater portion of
this good to the state. The speculators
did net want the school sections In
that reserve for the lands they con
tained, nine-tenths of them being
worthless for practical purposes, hence
