The fines were the limit for each and followed a roasting from the bench. The smaller companies were fined $22r0 and $2500. The judge's denunciation of the metheds of the men Involved was most scathing. The Judge said: "What Is known as the assist bid method Is as old as business and was employed by these men. It makes the victim believe there Is honest competition when there Is but rascally collusion. Churches and schools of this country have been wronged by this contemptible decep tion. Men who look like clean, respec table men resorted to this nasty com mercial trick to cheat the country congregations and school boards. An honorable man would prefer to dig ditches at $1.60 a day. The real of fenders here are the big companies. I sholl fine them heavily and fine the smnll fry less because to fine them what they deserve It would drive them out of business and leave the big fel lows with a complete monopoly. All shall be enjoined from continuing the Illegal practice." SHIP NINE CARLOADS CATTLE. Raines Sends1 Over 4000 Cattle and 80 Carloads Sheep In Two Months.

W. T. Hlslop, the well known com mercial traveler of this city who has just returned from a trip through Sherman county tells an interesting story of the preparations being made there to try a raln-maklng experi ment this summer. Fifteen hundred dollars have been raised In the vicinity of Wasco, the county seat of Sherman county, for the purpose of bringing a Los An geles rain-maker to that place for the experiment. According to the contract entered into between the people and the rain maker, no money Is to be paid over unless the rain-maker causes six inches of rain to fall within a radius of 60 miles of the location of his tower, between May 36 and July 26, 1907. So far the people have not expend ed a cent of money, all the prepara tions having been made at the ex pense of the experimenter and the agreement Is that no money will be paid until after the rain Is delivered. The rainmaker will erect a high tower In the vicinity of Wasco from which explosive chemicals will be sent Into the air on cloud day and nights and exploded at a great ele vation above the earth. The rainmaker has studied weafner statistics of that section and declares that Is a most favorable place for raln-maklng experiments and he is sure of delivering the goods within the time specified. While crops are In very good con dition In Sherman county, yet the rain Is badly needed nnd the people nre willing to risk the amount for the experiment. Mr. Hlslop says that the $1600 for the experiment has been practically all raised in Wasco and In the Immediate vicinity and that little has been raised in the farming sections which will be bene fited most by the experiment. The people have great confidence In the ability of the rain-maker, as ho has borne his own expense so far and it Is said could have had $6000 for six Inches of rain as readily as $1600. Work on the tower will be gin at once nnd the experiment will be started soon after May tS. 1 CARNIVAL WEEK IN PENDLETON our Days' Enjoyment of All the Novelties of the Amuse ment World.
