CANAL WILL MEAN
SAVING TO FARMERS
That the completVon of the Panama
canal will mean thousands of dollars
to the farmers of Umatilla county
through the raise In grain prices was
the statement made yesterday by M
H. Houser, the big Portland exporter
who stopped off in the city for a few
hours. He estimated that the differ
ence in the cost of charters to Liver
pool would mean a difference of at
at least seven cents a bushel to the
grower of the grain and declalred that
other exporters estimated the increase
at about ten cents a bushel.
Mr. Houser was last year by far
the largest exporter of grain on the
coast and is in a position to make a
pretty accurate guess. His rise as a
grain buyer has been phenomenal
for It has only been a few years since
he was handling a small agency In
eastern Washington Refore that he
was employed as a miller in one of
his father's mills.

ESCAPED PATH I I
IS RETURNE 1 I-IE
Mealing Mi nt is His I nd'i;:.'
In Wulla Walla Kscj "
Weeks Ago. J
lit
A strange penchant for stealing
meat has brought about the. arrest
three different times of Charles Peter
son, a patient of the Eastern Oregon
state hospital who escaped from that
institution two weeks ago and was
picked up In Walla Walla early Friday
morning while in the act of making
away with a side of bacon. Accord
ing to the hospital authorities, Peter
son va committed three months ago
from Union county after being arrest
I ed for stealing a ham and his record
I shows that he served at one time IS
months in the California penitentiary
on a similar offense.
Peterson made his escape from the
hospital about two weeks ago when
employed on the dairy force. Yester
day Superintendent McNary was ho-
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
tlfied that he had been arrested in
Walla W,alla on a petit larceny charge
but In court had confessed to escaping
from the Pendleton Institution. He
will be returned here.
He is not violently Insane, accord
ing to the authorities, but rather an
Incompetent. However, he shows un
mlstakeable signs of a mind unbal
anced such as a fear of the federal
officers. He was at one time a postal
clerk in the railway service but was
discharged for incompetency.
Peterson was picked up at 2:30
o'clock Friday morning in Walla Wal
la while wandering about on Bryant
avenue. He had collected from some
unknown place three quart bottles of
beer, two bricks' of cod fish, a large
head of cabbage, a quantity of pepper,
salt, su,jar and coffee, and was in
the act of getting away with a side
of bacon when the owner awoke and
notified the sheriff.
When brought to the county Jail
Peterson's one concern was for the
safety of his beer, and he would not
peaceably enter the cell until the
sheriff and hi: deputies had given him
double assurances that the beverage
would be placed In the safety deposit
vault a"nd conserved until the owner
was released from custody.
