I Weston, Sept. 21. Very little wheat has been sold from Weston this sea son. The wnrehouzos or tho Kerr- Clifford nnd the Pacific Coast Eleva- or companies ore both full, and some will have to be piled on the outside. t is estimated that there Is about 36.- 000 bushels nf wheat stored In each house. The farmers are all waiting for belter prices. The local price Is 02 cents. . Joe lilnkely, deputy sheriff, was In the city yesterday serving summons nd suhpenns on Jurors for the Octo ber term of district court In Pendleton.

On the plateaus the crop wns almost n total failure, leaving the mountain product to sup ply the local demnnd. In the Helix country the crop Is n total failure. The road down Wild Horse creek from the old Waddlngton place to the King place, which wns rendered Im passable by the flood last spring, has been put In good condition.

A dispatch from Seattle says: The republican slate convention to day renominated for congressmen, W. K. Humphrey of Senttle; Frnncis W. Ciisliman of Taeomn; and Wesley L. Jones of North Ynklmn. For su premc Judges, Herman D. Crow and Wallace Mount, of Spokane; Mllo A Root of Seattle, nnd Ralph O. Dun bar of Goldendale wore named. The feature of the convention was the adoption of a rising voto on I resolution "demanding" the rcnomln nllon of Prezldent Roosevelt In 1908 on the ground thnt It Is necessary to tho good of tho people, and thnt his retirement will Bcrlously lntorfere with the consummation of the great econnmlc IdeaR" Inaugurated by him during his prezent tenure of office. It Is Improbable that another stato convention will bo held in Washing ton for the renzon thnt the platform of every repuhllcnn and democratic. county convention as well as the re' publican stnto convention has declared In favor of the direct primary. 8ena' tor riloa was temporary chairman OAD WRECKS f BE PREVENTED 1 ONLY ft MATTER OF TIE UNTIL THE RAILROADS WILE DISCARD THEIR DANGERDUR DEVICES, Now thnt all eyes arc turned toward that disas trous wreck on the O. It. & N., between Durkee and Unity, In which a runaway freight train enme tear ing down the mountain and crashed Into a passenger train, endangering many lives and the ioss of prop erty, the attention of the traveling public as well as that of the officials concerned In this terrible catasirophc Is Invo'unlarlly turned toward that new patented device, tho Hurst Automatic Switch, by means of which Just such disasters ns these can easily bo averted. It will only be a matter of time until this device will be found In operation on all the principal rail road systems of the country. Take for Instance, in the above mentioned wreck. See what could have been averted If this system of switches were In use; the engineer finding that the train Was beyond his control, could have arranged the mechanism In the tnglne so that the engine Itself would have thrown the switch and look the siding or If It was going too fast to head In on the siding, It would have left the rails and prevented n collision In this manner. It is to be hoped that the Interstate commerce com mission will soon recommend nnd" Insist on its adop tion by the different transportation companies, thus decreasing tho cons'nnt risk of lives and property by these accidents. This device Is ot such a simple character that when It Is used In combination with any other switch or signai, It Is practically impossible for an accident to occur from trains running Into an open switch In either direction. Th- Switch MechnniRm can be operated from the engine while running at full speed. .This point was fully demonstrated at the recent tent lven It in Sa't Lake. City. Utah, when at the companies' Invitation, prominent railroad officials from all over the country gathered to witness tho public demonstration of Its working qualities. The O. S. I., has Installed one of the Hurst switches at this point and at this demonstration passed trains over and worked the switch while running over 40 miles an hour. It a switch be left open through negligence, or the lig'.its should fall, the train will automatically oper ate the switch nnd remain on tho main track. If an engineer has orders to take-a siding to let another train pass, he can operate tho switch from his cab and will not run by the switch. The device Is composed of but few Interchangeable parts of the tension or pull type, Is not likely to get out of order, und lc adapted for all steam and elec tric over and underground systems. As this device Is a simple addition to what Is now In use on many railroads, we are of the opinion that the practicability of this device will cause It to fill the requirements and meet with success. It will prbve a great labor and time saver, ns no stops need be made to operate same. VALUE OF HURST PATENTS. n a pa i a i t, ia a 4 a 2 i a 4 a a a a a a It :; a a a a a a a a ae a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a ae aa aa ae tt tt aa aa a tt tt aa v a aa. To best Illustrate the Immense value of the Hurst Automatic Switch & Signal Compnny'e patents, com pailson should be made with that of other notable invent Inrs of recent date, for Instance, the Dunlap Pneumatic Tire Cojnpany had been In operation when It was sold for tin.OOO.OOO.OO. The sharehold ers had then recilved dividends and premiums In the sum of J3, 290, 575. 00, and by the terms of the sale received $11,437,500.00, giving a total result of $17,638,075.00. The purchasers, afterwards resold to another company for the sum of $25,000,000.00. The Westlnghouse Air Drake made $30,000,000.00 profits and the Bell lelephons hag paid the sum of $66,000,000.00 In dividends. It Is claimed that there are In the United States over 150 patents paying, each, more than $1,000, 000.00 annually. According to an estimate by the commissioner of patents, three-fourths of the entire manufaeturfng wealth of the country of upwards of $6,000,000,000.00 is based on patents. The products of nil the gold and silver and diamond mines in the world would not equal the aggregate annual incomes of American patents'. Judging from the above facts and figures, It is not out of the way to estimate the value of the Hurst patent at $25,000,000. Many famous Inventions like the Electric Light. Hell Telephone, Westlnghouse Air Brake and other Important inventions went begging in the beginning of the company for the lack or public confidence, not one person In a hundred, who had a chance to purchase stock of these companies took advantage of the opportunity, and now all these enterprises are paving handsome dividends. All that the Hurst Invention requires Is an Intel ligent consideration. Give the following points a few minutes thought and you will see why we so heartily recommend the Hurst securities to our clients. It Is a life saver, It saves the destruction of valuable freight, rolling stock, road beds and govern ment mails which affects the public, railroad com panies and the government directly. There are four reasons why the railroad compa nies want and must have the Hurst System. 1st, the Hurst System Is a necessity. Why? For public safety. '2nd. it Is mouey saver. 3rd. a money saver Is a money mnker. 4th, a money maker Is a divi dend payer md the result Is self evident, that the Hurst patent has a Vide scope nnd the day Is near when every railroad will be equipped with the Hurst System. The Hurst Automatic Switch and Signal company Is Incorporated. Its shares are full paid and non assessable. We leave It io you to conjecture what the shares will be worth when the factory is started and the company Is on a producing and dividend paying basis.
