THE WOOL MARKCf.
The wool market, while charac
terized by much strength in the
matter of prices, fails to show any
decided increase in activity. Both
the wool merebaBt and the con
t timer are watching the trend of
developments very closely, the two
factors in the situation which are
chiefly engaging their attention
leiog the continued strengthening
tendency and active buying of
wool in foreign markets, and the
developments with reference to
the new clip in the territories.
That there is to be no substantial
increase in the available supplies
to come upon the markets abroad
during the remainder of the season
is now quite generally accepted,
and that relief is to come, there
fore, from that quarter to those
who are hopiDg for lower prices
does not seem probable. At the
next London auctions the avail
able offerings will amount to only
about 140,000 bales, as against
more than 155,000 bales at the
corresponding auctions last year,
much of which bids fair to be
eagerly competed for, nor is there
any reason for believing that at
subsequent sales the offerings will
be proportionately any larger.
Offerings at other centres are like
wise very moderate.
As to the American clip, which
is about to eome upon the market,
indications at piesent are that we
are to have another well-grown,
well-conditioned and light shrink
age clip, whose size will about
equal that of a year ago. It may
slightly exceed it, but not enough
to be noteworthy. That the bulk
of it will be wanted, in view of the
fact that importations are less than
those of a year ago and that sup
plies carried over are very small,
goes wiihout sayiDg, unless manu
facturing conditions are to be de
cidedly worse than they are to
day. It will hardly more than
suffice for manufacturers' needs
unless there is to be a consider
able stoppage of machinery. But
the ability of consumers to pay
more for wool than it is costing
tbem to-day may well be question
ed. And yet this is what they
will be obliged to do, unless there
is a radical change in wool market
conditions, which will lead the
Growers to make concessions from
their present asking prices.
The present inactivity in the
market is due partially, of course,
to th lack of desirable selections
of wools, the be3t territorial clips,
those sui'able for worsted spinn
ing, being cletned out long ago.
Wools of which there are sizable
selections are not slow sellers, as is
evidenc d by the quite free buy
ing of the Australian and Argen
tina wools by consumers during
the past few weeks. One reason,
also, why these wools have been
taken so freely lies in the fact that
they can be obtained at relatively
lower prices than wools can be
landed for from London to day.
With the firm outlook abroad, and
with indications of small selec
tions available throughout the
j ear at the London auctions, there
is increasing evidence as to the
truth of the contention tbat Ameri
can buyers did
ijiic'i wool as was neled. Am er

annum, has heretofore been retained by
the Tre surer.
As Mr, Hoyt is silent on this point
also it (a fair to assume that he intend"
to pocket this interest money as has
bean done in the past. Will you vote
far a Portlaud man and thus continue
this graft? A vote for E. V. Carter is a
vote to stop this graft and reduce taxes
correspondingly.

Secretary Hitchcock has put all home
steaders on the public 1aids on notice
that if they intend to complete theii
entries they shall remain upon the land
continuously during einht months of the
14 months commutation period, is a re
port that comes from Washington.
Three decisions, all along the same
line, have been bauded down by the
secretary ia the past month. One case
came fron South Dakota, another came
from Nebraska, and the third from
Oklahoma. In all three cases the
entrymen had offered proof with tbeir
applications to commute, which was
deemed insufficient as to residence by
the commissioner of the general land
office, whose opinion was sustained by
the secretary.
Under the practice of the interior de
partment homesteader may take six
montns to establish constructive resi
dence on the land covered bv the ap
plication that is he may take that
length of time to go upon the land and
build his noose and 6tart cultivation.
Tbe commutation period is fourteen
months from tbe date of entry when the
entrymen upon paving $1.25 an acre for
his holdings, and submitting satis
factory proof of residence during tbat
period, m .y receive a patent for tbe
land covered by bis entry.
The secretary is very positive in hold
ing that the last eight months of the
commutation period shall be those of
aotual residence. On this point he says
that, "la commutation oases the law
not only requires that it shall cleaily
and satisfactorily appear from the proof
tbat the bona fide residence was estab
lished within eix months from the date
of entry, but ale that the actual resi
dence upon tbe land has been continu
ous from tbe time it was established
nntil the date of the making of final
report "
In the cases recently decided the
proof is rejected without prejudice,
which means tbat the entrymen are
p ivileed to go back UDon the land and
establish residence and otherwise com
ply with the law at any time within the
five-year life of the entry.
It is expected tbat when these de
cisions gain wider circulation in the
pubic land states, there will be a
gereral compliance with the law or else
a lot of homesteads will be relinquished.
Developments along this line are looked
for a'ong the extension of the Mil
waukee railroad fron. Everts, S. D., to
Seattle, Wash , where the local land
officers have been kept busy in recent
months receiving homestead entries.
argned that it would be to their interest
if the independent boat line which is
being established were forced to aban
! the route and the sooner the bettor.
The open river people are determined
to go ahead with their plans at all
hazards. Thev are already negating
for other boats to transport freight from
Portland to the portage road. It is de
clared that there is no danger whatever
in sendirg boats through Three Mile
rapids at any season f the ye if. The
government has recently cleared the
channel of all obstructions. Many of
the river captains who sre acquainted
with the situation say the channel is
nnrfactlv safe. It it is not they are
I -
wondering a' the great expense to
which the 'ederal government is going
to build a canal h round tl e obstructions
at Celilo, for when 'hat great waterway
haa been built, boats will still be
obliged to go tbr rgh Three Mite rapids
Until other arrangements have been
completed the open river people will
place the steamer Mountain Gem in
service carrying freight to the contrac
tors who are building the railroad down
the north bank of the Columbia. The
Regulator interests are wi ling to trans
port the freight for the oi en river men
as far a The Dalles. When this fact
became known, the farmer were think
ing seriously of sending the freight the
rest of t' e distance to tbe portage rood
by means of wagon teams, but late de
cided that the undertaking would be too
expensive.

Weekly Weather Bulletin.
The past week was sunshiny,
dry, and warmer than usual. No
rain fell in the southeastern Dart
of the state and but few showers
occurred elsewhere. Light frosto
were reported generally on Tues
day and Thursday mornings and
in a few places on Wednesday
morning. The afternoons of the
13th and 14 were unusually warm,
but on the 15th it turned cooler
and nearly normal temperatures
prevailed thereafter. The winds,
as a rule, were light and mostly
from the west, except where they
were diyerted from their normal
track by topographical conditions.
Jude H. J. Bean republican
candidate for nomination as ciiiuit
judge of the sixth judicial district,
was in Morrow county last week in
the inrerest of his candidtcy. Mr.
Bean has a large number of old
acquaintances in Morrow county.
He has practiced law in this dis
trict the past twenty-five years,
during which time he has made
many warm friends.
He was admitted to the bar in
the state of Mnine, March 18S1
and the following June he came to
Pendleton, Oregon, where he has
since enjoyed a good and growing
practice. He was elected to the
legislature in 1888. He also
served two terms as district attor.

1896 and re-elected in 1898. : He
was also elected t t'ie orace or

1904.
The judge is a life-long republi
can. nis qualincat'.ons. tor the
office of Circuit Judge are un

people who know him. He will
receive a good substantial support
in both Umatilla and Morrow
counties.
I'OR STATE TREASURER.
Eastern Oregon Candidate for the
State Treasurer the favorite.
Portland, April 17. (Special.) The
Republican press of Western Oregon
are almost unanimous in favor of and
using tbeir efforts to set ure the nomi
nation of Hon. John H. Aitkin of Hunt
ington for State Tieasimr, as the piess
voices the fentiment of the people, the
indications are that he is the favorite in
thatsection. In this c ty he has mai'e a
remarkable campaign, his friends and
admirers are working early and late f r
him, he is sure to receive a big vote
here.
It is natural to suppose that Eastern
Oregon Republicans will give him a
very large majority, thev should rally
to his support, in doing so can secure
for him the nomination.
He has mads the cleanest canvass
among all his competitors, without per
sonalities or mud throwing, has not
combined with politicians or bankers,
but is conducting a clean cut honorable
campaign, one the people should and
will endorse.
furniture Sola on Credit.
A firm in Portland known as the
Gevurtz Furniture Co., beginning in a
small way just thirty years ago, has
built up an immense retail business by
the eaily adoption of a liberal credit
plan. "A Utile down a little at
time" was their slogan. They have
issued a catalogue and are now rearhin
out for interior business anf w i I extend
their credit sys'em to all parts of th
state; and a a further inducement for
business, will prepay all freight charges

by the refusal ol the Regulator line to

Officials of the Open River Transpor

the stand taken by tbe Regulator line is
merely assumed for the purpose of
throwing the traffic to the railroad com
