LOOKING tuB OOOU PRICES Wheat Condition Looked on a Fromialng; Liberal Returns to tho Growers, The West Coast Trade, published at Tacoma, says of the wheat outlook 'The trend in wheat continues not at all s ulsf tct jry to those who baye an 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 bushels, as against six times that amount tne corresponding week of last year, while Russia continues a heavy Bbipper, and there was an in crease oi loOjOiK) quarters on ocean passage for tho week. However, 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 wnich is now practically accomplished 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 tho week. PCBLIO SCHOOL EXERCISES. - Following; are the Programmes Rendered Friday Afternoon at S P. M. EAST HILL PRIMARY.

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powdei Awarded Cold Madd MJdwintar ?!.-. Stn FraDdscs, 1 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 ganized. - . 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 caping the newspaper notoriety he re 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 money. Yestercay morning he was announced as "the heavy charger," and as sheriff of Grant county who "had gained some notority last winter by collecting $1445 for conveying nine prisoners to Salem." ' It was the Grant-county sheriff who made the haul out of the state treasury; but, whenever his Crook county brother puts in an appearance, John is sure to get all the blame for it, and now he is getting tired.TOregonian. Bow to Vote. The last legislature simplified the method of designating the candidates the elector wishes to vote for under the Australian ballot law. Instead of erasing all tho names except the one he votes for, the elector simply places an X in the space between the number ber and the name of the candidate voted for. All other names are left blank. For convenience we will giye an illustration; 1 2 3 X H.Woodcock "T.jrpnver3 "W. H. Taylor Dem. "Rep." I T Peo.
