ing in the forks of the Santiam
the spirit of Elijah , Grosser was
called for. He had . died there
many years before, but was re
membeied for his immense stature,
six feet five inches. A voice in
the darkness said he was Elijah.
"Are you in heaven?'' asked an
old-timer. "Yes," came the an
swer. 'Are you an angel, Lige?''
"Yes.'' The questioner paused,
evidently having exhausted his
fund of questions, and then sud

Chas. Johnson, the well-known wheat-
buyer, was in Heppner this week, and
is well posted on conditions in the
grain-growing belt of Mbrrow county.
Mr. Johnson says that during the last
ten days 50,000 bushels of wheat have
been sold in Morrow ' county at 41 to 44
Cents.'- ':
The largest deal was at Douglas,
where' Ken-, Gilford & Co.' and a few
others boiieht 14,000 busbels, OMhe
balance, Mr. Johnson bought all be
wanted, and says thee are now 100,000
sacks of wheat unsold in Morrow county
warehouses, and that farmers will be
kept busy l auiing wheat all winter.
Some of the 'largest farmers in Mor
row county say that they wid hold Uom
1000 to 5000 sacks of wheat until spring.
There are Bti 1 about 6000 sacks on
the ground at lone, but it is being re
duced by shipment.
The Oreonian's report says:
Tbe market has been in bad shape for
past week, and the local market has re
flected the weakness in other quarters
although an easier feeling in freights
bas prevented the dec'ine extending to
imits reached in other markets. Pre
vailing weakness is because there is
apparent' v much more , wheat
in sight than Is needed for immediate
requirements, and for anything beyond
that there is a lack of .speculative senti
ment, which in the past has been such
a potent factor in advancing prices.
Shipments for the current month will
be lighter than usual for November,

BIG 1NGIN,
Columbia Joe, who is a Kood deal of a
giant, camped near Tom Morgan's for
a few days this week while bis little
bunch of Indians were doing some
shopping in Heppner,
They were on their way from tbe fall
hunt In the Blue mountains to their
fishing fields on the Columbia, a id said
that they had not bad much luck at
capturing deer or elk, but got one bear
who was too ;oung to vote.
Coluuib'a Joe has a fine farm on tbe
Umatilla reservation, but prefers to
rent it to a white man and roam over
his old range in the Heppner Hills and
adjacent mburtain
Blind Jim shakes his fat sides with
laughter when be tells about what a
joke Joe played on the Indian agent LnJ a8 m ghip8 were delayed In ar
riving, port stocks are getting close to
when he told him he had only one wife
It was real funny.
In '78 all Indians were warned to
keep out of tbe Heppner Hills, and they
kept out for 4 years.
Then Columbia Joe came back to
Heppner with an escort of 4 IndianH,
well mounted, but without guns
They each carried upright a ten-foot
fish pole from which fluttered a flag of
truce made from a strip of dirty white
shirt. . '.
Joe said that for 4 years bis conscience
had been bother;ng him about $0 he
owed at Dave Herren's store for flour.
It was taunting him and giving him a
tired tum-tum, so he came back to pay
tbe debt, end did so.
After that, as there were no more In
dian wars or raids, the Indians were
again allowed to t-avel through the
Heppner Hills as they had done for
10,000 years, which is as far back as
any of the present ones can remember.
The tracks rrade by their ancestors
before that have been trodden out by
white men's stock.
the largest on record. There is quite a
fleet of ships due, and nearly all of
them will arriye so as to load early in
December. . , , ... ,
The fre'ght nsuket is stationary. One
ship was takeu afr42s Od, but this rate
docs not fit well with the foreign market
in present conditions, and farmers'
ideas somewhat inflated again. Little
wheat can be bought for less than 54
cents for Walla Walla, and this figure
is not sulficieiitly attractive to loosen
up anything lil.e : round lots, Bluestem
is nominal at about 50 cents. Valley is
not selling in this market, tbe interior
mills taking up all that is offering at
much belter prices than exporters can
pay. ,
