The wool buyers arrived here this morning In their special car from Shanlko ami have been spending the day here. Tomorrow they are to be at Elgin fjr the second sale to be held there this season. The recent sale at Shanlko occupied two days and most gf the wool In that section was cleaned up. Practically all the big clips were sold excepting that of the Baldwin Sheep & Land company, one of the largest concerns of eastern Oregon. Prices at the Shanlko sale were much the same as those prevailing earlier in the season excepting that higher prices wefe paid for the bet ter and lighter clips. A Hot Hide. The buyers left Shanlko yesterday afternoon and connected with train No. 6 at Biggs. They reached the lit tle station on the Columbia at 9 o'clock last evening anil they say that the weather there was sweltering. The breeze th;it was blowing at Biggs could not have been warmer, they say, had it come direct from the gates of hades. T H There will be no meeting of the city council tonight and Instead of sweltering uround the long table at the recorder's office tonight the city solons may enjoy the comforts of life at their homes. The announcement that no meeting will be held tonight was made at noon today by Mayor Murphy. He says there Is no pressing business for to night and in view of the warm weath er the regular session will be dispens ed with. Division Causes Worry. But while no council meeting will be held this evening this does not mean the city aldermen have nothing to think about during the hot days. Just at present Mayor Murphy and his councllmen are showing keen Interest In the tax case now pending before the supreme court. If that high tribunal upholds Judge Galloway's decision against the full valuation asessment law the "mischief will be to pay," in this city. It would mean that the county would have to go back to the old one fourth basis of assessment and as the maximum tax levy under the present charter is 11 mills the city would be unable to raise sufficient money for running expenses. Should Judge Galloway's decision he upheld the only alternative for Pendleton, according to the mayor, will be to hold a special election and amend the charter so as to permit of a higher'levy. While this could easily be done, yet a special charter elec tion takes time and Is necessarily fraught with some difficulties. CO. L CHANGES OFFICERS. The Tale of a Shirt.

Oregg ordered Rice off tho train and when he refused to go endeavor ed to put him off. The latter drew a gun and fired three times at the brakeman, wounding htm In the left arm and shoulder.

The official thermometer registered 103 In the shade today. This Is on degree lower than the mercury show ed yesterday. French Inventor Thinks He lias Solv cd Problem of Aeroplane. M. Marcel Deprez, member of the Institute de France, has Invented an aluminum bird which rises against the wind and stays In the air without being sustained by any mechanical device. M. Deprez explains that his experiment was entirely based upon his observation of an eagle rising against the wind and soaring aloft without any motion of Its wings. The solution, he adds, Is very simple. The aluminum bird consists of two planes, one larger and almost hori zontal, ond another smaller and ul most vertical, resembling In shape a visiting cord with one end 'bent back. This aluminum sheet Is Inclined slight ly against Its horizontal, a current of ulr somewhat ascendant In direction Is brought to bear agalnit It and the metal bird rises and remains suspend ed In the air. As soon as It can be practically ap plied M. Duprez thinks this Invention will greatly simplify aeronuutics and will moreover, mean a simplification of construction and a great economy In the force necessary to propel air ships and a considerable Increase of their staying power. records of the superior court In hut favor for 11790, says the Yakima Re public. The suit was commenced In September, 1906, when Ryan waa kicked by a vicious horse In a stall in Tucker's livery stable, receiving se rious Injuries which Incapacitated him for a year and left him with a slight deformity. Walen waa the man in charge of the stables at the time, and the testimony showed that he had negligently put a horse known to be vicious n the stall used by Ryan and knowing that Ryan would go Into the stall, had forgotten to warn him. Wliere Plaintiff Failed. The main point In the' suit, how ever, was to show that Tucker, aa proprietor of the place, was respon sible In law for the negligence of Walen, and Judge Preble held that this had not been proved, giving Jdgment today against Walen only. Walen Is not believed to have any money or property. Judge Preble assessed the damages us follows: For being Incapacitated for one year, $545, partially disabled for six months, $200; further disable ment thereafter, $100; for partial de formity. $400; for pain suffered. $200; surgeon's bill, $350; total, $1790.. AWARDED DAMAGES BUT CANNOT COLLECT Falls to Connect Man Wkh Mean With Contrlbutary Negligence. The outcome of the personal Injury suit of William Ryan, a teamster, against Henry L. Tucker and Peter J. Walen. is not very satisfactory to tho plaintiff, notwithstanding the fact that, a Judgment goes upon the Away to the Mountains. , Rev. W. T. Euster, Jack Huston, Will Euster and Bert Smith, the lat ter of Lewiston, left this morning by team for the high peaks of Wallowa county for a month's outing. They will go by team to Joseph and from there will pack their camping outfit on horseback for 30 miles Into the highest granite mountains between Baker and Wallowa counties. They expect to find excellent fishing and hunting and hope to bring back a number of mountain sheep. Good Trade Is The Best XapifaJ, Why not learn a profitable trade? It's the best capital.
