They ara traveling on tickets sold in the Ftast under the colonial rates, which expired October 31, and the army Is mads up of those who waited until the last day of gtacs to be­ gin their journey. Train No. 3 on the Northern Pacific' consisted of 25 coaches filled to the steps. It traveled in two sections. Twelve hundred sou Is, railroad officials estimate»!, were inside the coaches. When the colonial» alighted at 8p»>- kans to stretch their weary llmba, the big depot was unable ^to bold the swarm. Traveling men fiom St. Paul, who witnessed the embarking from‘that point on October 31, say several hun- died were left behind.

A portion of it was given the highewt scientific cultivation, and the remaind­ er allowed to go in much the same faxb­ ion that is usual on Willamette valley farms. Ths difference in ths appear­ ance of the two portions is so marked aa to leave no doubt of the etficroy of care.

Whereas, It haa been and is impos­ sible for the banks of Oregon to secure shipments of coin or currency from Eastern financial centers, although large lalanceaarr due to the tanks of this state from Eastern banka; and Whereas, Req nests have come to me from the leading banks of the whole stale, as well aa from different commer­ cial bodies and depro- clamation of a legal holiday from day to day until money can l>e »btalned to handle the largely Increased industrial and commercial interests; and Wheteaa, I am firmly convinced from information I have received that our tanks were never in better condition than at this lime, and are only in need of moneys which are actually due them from cor re» poodent banka to tide ovrr the present crisis. Now, therefore, I, George E.

If Mr Dawson ahouM need more money lie- fore the flurry in the market is a thing of history, the men on the other side of his desk will bring more. laist week Mr Dawsen made several deposits which would have carried him through if he liad kept them in his own safe. Graft Prosecution Is Issue. Han Francisco, Nov. 4.—Issues of far more importance than are commonly involved in a municipal election will come up before the voters of Kan Fran­ cisco for decision tomorrow. Behind the leading names on the several party ticket« are the survival of the so-called bribery graft prosecution as conducted against indicted corporation officials by Francis J. Henry, and the confirmation or rejection by the voting majority of the new order of things which followed the overthrow of the Ruef-Hchmltx re­ gime and the bribed supervisors. Farmers Hold Crops. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4.—The finan­ cial troubles in New York, with their later echo in the West, have not alarm­ ed the farmers of Nebraska. For the past decade farmers of this state have disposed of their crop« by contract be­ fore they were harvested, but condi­ tions have changed. Farmers are build­ ing barns to store away the corn they have harvested. They say they will hold their grain for higher prices, al­ though aa high aa 48 cents is offered. Chinese Stone Missionaries. Hongkong, Nov. 4.—The Hcandinavi- an mission in the district of Namho has been attacked by the anti-foreign ele­ ment of the population. The mission­ aries, Misses Wendell aneing provided in moat eases where the demand lor II ia considered legitimate. lurthei engagements of gold by Hus­ ton and other points have brought up the total engagements abroad under the recent movement !<• ♦20.550,(XX). The t.usitana, ah eh sailed from Liverpool yesterday, haa on board about ♦10,000,- 000 in gold, one of the largest single shipments ever made. Prices of ex- change were firm during the early part of yesterday and did not yield seriously at any time. The fact that the stuck exchanges of Ixuidon and l’aris were closet) on aevount of All Saints day pre- vented any comparison of quotations on arbitrage operations. Balances with the clearing house hsve settled down to a normal condi­ tion, but there is still something of s bluckade in domestic exchange through the unwillingness of New York tanks to ;ay currency on drafts from other cities and the unwillingness of other cities to pay out tlislr currency upon drafts from New York. The condition of affairs indicates a continued pressure lor currency rather than a breakdown of credi'a. but reasonable demands ate l>elng met for regular customers of the tanka. The possibility of hastening the ex­ port movement of wheat and cotton still engages the attention of foreign exchange dealers and also of those who endeavor to keep in touch with the gen­ eral situation DELIVERY AT JOLIET.
