Coleman Gray, J. II. MeCormlck.
G. W. Raymond and Haliih Peale, the
four men who made a daring daylight
escape from tho I'matllla county jail
Saturday afternoon, are f till at large
and the officer are having difficulty
lr. striking their trails. Sheriff T. D.
Taylor and his deputies have been
working constantly since the discov
ery. Tho break occurred about 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon, the men escap
ing through a hole which they hud
been digging through the wall for
several days and which they had
cleverly concealed from the officers
Put for the fact that the fourth man
leaving was observed running away
by employes of the Pendleton Holler
Mills, some of tho other six Inmates
might have escaped also. Among
those remaining in the jail was Lee
Jale, who is charged with the mur
der of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ogllvy.
As soon as millhands saw a man
running from the direction of the
Jail, they telephoned Deputy Sheriffs
Blakely and Funk who were the onl5
ones In the office at the time. An
Investigation resulted In tho discov
ery of the hole In the wall, and the
other prisoners were at once locked
In their cells.
Wall 22 I ii -In Thick.
The prisoners had cut a hole ten
Inches by fifteen through the 12 Inch
brick wall at tho southeast end of
the main corridor. They had been
given the liberty of the corridor dur
ing the daytime and had evidently
taken turns at the Job. For instru
ments they used a piece of steel,
which had been set in the wall as a
rest for slenm pipes, and a heavy
piece of wire which had evidently
been the bail of a bucket. The piece
of steel taken from the wall was
sharpened and tied securely to a
chair leg, and made a very practical
rouge. The wire, bent at the end,
had been used In scraping the con
crete from beneath the bricks after
It had been loosened.
Tho concealment of the hole when
tbe officers entered the Jail was a
very Ingenious piece of work. Over
a piece of newspaper had been past
ed Bheets of toilet paper which were
coated over with whitewash made by
mixing the whitewash scraped from
the walla with water. When put In
place over tho hole, there was little
to distinguish It from the surround
ing wall.
It Is believed by the officers that
the work of digging through the
brick wall was Btarted Thursday and
was finished Saturday morning. The
absence of Deputy Sheriff Estes, who
acts as Jailor, probably helped them
In escaping detection.

Peale was the last of the four to
leave the Jail. Just before 3 o'clock
he came out In the sheriff's office to
use the telephone, saying he wished
to find out about securing some mon-

Today's wire reports show a further
drop in the wheat market both in
Chicago and Portland, Indicating the
bearish efforts still continue. The
Liverpool market remains strong,
there being a difference of 86 cents
between the top Liverpool price and
the Portland bid price for club. The
ocean freight, figured at 80 shillings,
means 50 cents a bushel. Hence
there Is a spread of some 36 cents aft
er the high charters have been ac

does not take In Insurance, handling
charges or the exchange cost. An
other feature of the story Is the pos
sibility the Liverpool prices may In

CHICAGO, Aug. 30. "The applica-1 in detail and holds the Los Angeles
tion of physical force will neither es
tablish nor maintain Just and fair
relations between the employers and
the employed." This Is the outstand-
ing conclusion reached by Luke ,
Grant on the controversy between the !
National Krectors association and the
International Association of Hridge
and Structural Ironworkers, in a re
port made public by the Industrial
Relations Commission.
' Many Incidents may be cited in the
Industrial world," the report de
clared, "where the use of physical
force has for a time won an advan
tage for the side that used it. Such
gains, however, are temporary and
do not make for a permanent Indus
trial peace."
Grant held that the abuse of pow-

power to do them."

Discomfort of Residents.
LAST NIGHT WAS T2
Smoke from Forest Fires Descends
Toward Eienlnf? and Makes Atmos
phere More Sultry August Has
Heen Hottest Month for Pendleton
in Many Years.
Last night was the hottest night
Pendleton has experienced so far as
the official records show and thera
are few residents who will gainsay
the statement. After a day In which
the mercury went higher than at any
time this season, local people wers
forced to endure a night so warm
that sleep was almost Impossible.
Minimum temperature last night,
according to the official thermometer
was J2 degrees and during the most
of the night the temperature was
higher than that. The maximum
temperature yesterday afternoon was
106, two degrees higher than high
mark set on July 21 and three de
grees higher than on Saturday. Mak
ing the day much more uncomfortable
were hot breezes, hottest that havs
blown here for many years, accord
ing to old residents.
In the evening the smoke from
stubble or forest fires descended over
the city and the discomfort was In
creased. Many residents did not re
tire, others went to bed only to get
up again and some even took to their
automobiles at 3 o'clock this morn
ing. A perusal of tTie official records
shows no night as warm as last night.
Twice during August In 1914 ths
thermometer did not register lower
than 69. The warm nkht last night
was unexpected Inasmuch as the pre
ceding hot days had been followed
by cool nights. On Saturday night
the mercury ran down as low as 61,
or 20 degrees lower than last night
Hottest Angust Y'et.
The official records also show that
this August has been the hottest In
many years. For eight consecutive
days the thermometer has registered
10 or higher and not during the en
tire month has the maximum been
below (1. On August 4. the tempera
ture was 91 and. before and since It
has been above that mark. August
of last year was a hot one and a dry
one but the hot weather did not hang
on so constantly. Only five days of
the entire month had a temperature
above 100 and these were not all to
gether. On August 1, the maximum
was 102. on the 2nd 105. on the 12th
