Headed by B. F. Wlnchell, director
of traffic, a party of distinguished
Harrlman line officials were here last
evlnlng for a short time. While here

Can Handle Wlicat.
Mr. Wlnchell Is the man who di
rects traffic for the entire Harrlman
system, and he says that though wheat
shipments, are held In obeyance until
prices attract the farmers better and
though the big Oregon apple crop la
soon to be moved, there Is no likeli
hood of serious congestion should
wheat be unladed on the market
The traffic, department was ready to
move wheat several weeks ago but
little has been unloaded. This Is
bound to Inconvenience the traffic
should he crop be catapulted on the
market at once, but the company has
done all It can to handle the crop
once It gets under way he pointed out.
"Oregon Is a fine country and her
development surprises mo more every
trip," said Mr. Wlnchell.
"The Union Pacific Is anxious to do
all It can to further the development
of the northwest. This year we In
tend to do everything to facilitate the
quickest possible movement of the
crops."
McMurray Enthusiastic
As general passenger agent Mr.
"McMurray la chiefly Interested Just
now In arranging to handle the crowd
that will be here soon. He Is en
thused over the nound-up and looks
for a great attendance crowd again
this year.
"Each year the Round-up Increases
in attractiveness and Impelling inter

ural setting In, a vast amphitheatre,
men and women to the manner born,
wild horses and wilder cattle furnish
an entertainment so unique and so
fascinating that It attracts multitudes.

It was said that the allies losses

DANGER IS OVER.
(By William Phillip-Sims.)
PARIS, Sept 12. I have Just seen
General GalllenI, the military gover
nor of Paris. He predicted that the
battle of the Marne would prove to
have been the high tide of the Ger
man offensive movement In France.
He said he didn't think the kaisers
forces would recover the ground they
lost and expressed the opinion that
all danger to Paris la over.
It was his belief that by sending the
city's defensive army Into the field
to help the allies on the left wing, he
had changed the entire situation. By
this move the allies have been given
a force which outnumbered the army
of General Von Kluck and threaten
ed Its destruction. Its retreat was so
precipitated that It was compelled to
abandon quantities of supplies.
EUROPE WILL DEMAND MUCH
WHEAT FROM NORTHWEST
PORTLAND, Ore.. Sept, 12. Rec
ord breaking sales of wheat to Eu
rope are reported by local exporting
interests. Numbers of ships and
steamers were recently chartered to
load In Portland ostensibly for Eng
lish accounts. The business Is said
to be the heaviest ever known.
The outlook In Europe will demand
every bushel of wheat and barley
the Pacific northwest has to offer
this year.
While there was a loss of one to
two cents a bushel In the bid prices
for wheat on the merchants' ex
change, exporting Interests agree
higher prices are being offered In the
country. The demand from Europe
la now reported the greatest In his
tory. CHICAGO, Sept. II. Wheat op
tion prices showed a loss of two to
two and a quarter cents a bushel aft
er a slight advance at the opening.
The loss Is due to the alleged fact a
record amount of spring wheat Is be
ing offered for sale. The foreign
markets are generally firmer and
higher.

LONDON. Sept. 12. The occupa
tion by an Australian naval squad
ron under Admiral Patey, of Islands
In the Bismarck archipelago, a Ger
man possession In the Pacific, was
announced by the official war In
formation bureau. A landing party,
It was stated, took possession of the
town of Herbertshohe, on Herbert
ahohe Island. A vigorous resistance
was encountered, the Australians be
ing forced to fight their way for four
miles through bush along mined
roads. In the fight Commander
Charles Ellwell and two bluejackets
were killed and a number wounded.

This. It was added, accounted for

Last year he won second at Che

gives the real thing and this year It
will almost have reached perfection.
The spirit of contest and of conquest,
of glory and fame which has always
been the predominating tone of the
Round-up and which has given it that
wonderful Hit and aroma, of the dying

CHANGE IN TEXTBOOKS
ORDERED BY THE STATE
Responsibility for the change in
text-books for the public schools,
which open Monday inthis city, does
not rest with the county, superintend
ent, city superintendent or school
board. This statement is made In re
sponse to criticisms which have al
ready started among patrons of the
FChools against the change In text
books and the course of study.
As explained by County Superin
tendent Young and City Superintend
ent Landers, the state text-book com
mission, consisting of five men, meets
every six years, according to law, and
prescribes the course of study for all
of the schools of the state except
those In the city of Portland. The
commission met last year and adopt
ed a course which made a number of
changes In text books, thus giving
the local school authorities no option
In the matter.
The Pendleton schools will open
Monday morning and today final pre
parations are being made. The teach
ers of the grade schools met for or
ganization this morning in the city
hall and the high school teachers met
In the high school building for the
same purpose.

tered. That northwest farmers can make
money by holding thep- wheat Is the
view of men very well informed on
the situation and In position to judge
the market both from the standpoint
of the buyer and seller. It Is assert
ed the present lull in the market is
due almost if not entirely to artifi
cial causes. When the market
slumped two days ago it was an
nounced the change was due to ru
mors of a peace movement In Europe.
It is evident, however, that peace la
far away.
Other elements In the situation
that indicate high prices are the fact
of a short world yield in wheat, and
the fact it is" generally regarded that
war will make it Impossible for Eu
rope to raise a crop next year.
From confidential sources It is re
ported that the heads of big buying
concerns expect wheat prices to soar
higher but would like If possible to
cause uneasiness among farmers so
as to get them in a mood to sell. That
their move has in part been success
ful is shown by the fact farmers to
day have been inquiring In vain for
prices and showing some anxiety.
Of much significance in connection
with the present status of the mar
ket Is the East Oregonian's special re
port from Portland today telling ot
record breaking contracts having been
made for the exporting of wheat to
England. The story recites lhat many
ships have been chartered and that
the business promises to be the heav
iest eve rknown here. The report al
so declares that Europe will need all
