The West Coast Trade, published at

'The trend in wheat continues not at

ticipated immediate and permanent
advances of a decisive character, crop
news for the week has been all on the
side of more favorable condition, the
visbile has decreased -only 433,500

there is an abiding faith in reasonably
good prices for tne coming crop,
with the ' prospective . shortage of
the United States, Indian and Argen
tine crops,, and possible continuance
of the South African demands for
Pacific coast wheat, at least until the
new crop from Australia commences
to move, while the development shown
in demands for flour exports from the
Aorth Pacific will probably still fur
ther increase the miling requirements.
There has been a very small move
ment tq this port for the past month,
but then the completion of seeding

should bring out the small surplus In
farmers' hands and create a small in
crease during May, while a fewcom
praratively large blocks of wheat are
held in strong hands and may be
brought out by developments of the
market or changing opinions on the
part of holders. Beyond the arrival of
the last wheat carrier of the season,
there is no change in the Puget Sound
situation, prices being malntarlned at
former figures, with a 'practically
nominal business. The crop situation
has shown manifest improvement for

To Supply Investors With Accurate and
Reliable Information,
Col. R. W. Mitchell, who arrived in
town seyeral days since from Portland,
has been so busily engaged with the
land office that he did not have time
to be interviewed on a very import
ant matter largely affecting .-th in
terests of the people of Eastern Oregon,
and especially those connected with a
mining enterprise, says the La Grande
Chronicle. v '
Before leaving Portland, Col.
Mitchell, together with several very
well known gentlemen, organized an
incorporated .bureau of mines. This
bureau starts out upon a solid basis
clear of all obstacles, and will in a few
days' be ready for business. The in
corporators are John P. Marshall
cashier of the Ainsworth . National
bank, pf Pprtland, Chas. W. Knowles,
formerly proprietor of the St. Charles
hotel, and largely Interested in mining
operations, and Col. R. W. Mitchell.
The bureau will in no sense' be an "ex
change." The main business of the
bureau will be to collect information
of an accurate and trustworthy char
acter of the different mines in Oregon
and throughout Washington and
Idaho, and to dispense such in
formation to parties desiring to
become interested or to invest
in mining properties! Reliable
experts have been engaged, and they
will be put under bonds and all reports
will be under oath. The manager of
the bureau will be F. H. Brigham,
well known throughout Eastern Ore
gon as an engineer of repute and
ability,
The first step of the bureau is to ob
tain the locality and a full description
of every piece of mining property
worthy of a name or entitled to con
It is not intended to exclude pros?
pects from consideration, but, -on the
contrary, all species of mining enter
prise will be investigated for the pur
pose of getting at its probable value,
and to decide whether or not the bu
reau shall give it any attention. . The
great trouble with bureaus heretofore
has been that they were not based or
had in their management persons who
did not command -the respect of the
communities in which they were or

Mixed np With His Brother.
John Combs, sheriff of Crook county,
and Joseph Combs, sheriff of Grant
county, are brothers, but the former
has serious intentions of making some
change in his name in the hope of es

ceives whenever he goes to Salem.
On Monday he took two prisoners to
the penitentiary', from Prineville, and
was also accompanied by two guards.
After delivering his prisoners to
Superintendent Gilbert, be presented
bis bUl of expense $223, to the
secretary of state, and received the

get all the blame for it, and now he is
