FARMERS TO STORE OWN GRAIN Will Erect Own Co-Ope rative Ware houses in Umatilla County. Pendleton Believing they have not always been given a square deat by the grain warehouse companies operating this county, a group of farmers have formed a corporation and will erect ana operate a strine of four warehouses. These will be located at Helix, Vanscycle, Stanton and Ring, all stations on the branch line of the Northern Pacific Toe corporation was formed with a capital stock of $20,000. The ware houses will be co-operative, all the in corporators being members of the Helix branch of the Farmers Educa tional 4 Co-operative Union of Amer ica. According to present plans, the warehouses will be erected in time to handle the present saesor.'g era in ctod. If these prove successful, other co-operative warehouses will be erected in the county. Oregon Will Have Best Crops. Eood River According to G. E. Lanham, purchasing atrent for Wagner & Co., a commission firm of Chicago, Oregon fruit crop prospects are a shade better this year than meet of the other fruitgrowing suites. Mr. T-annrn has been making a tour of the fruitgrowing districts in the North and Middie West and states that the Colorado crop was saved this year by the use of hearing pots kept going there for a week or ten days during the period when the late spring frost came. In Oregon Mr. I.anham looks for an average crop of apples, with peaches and cherries short. He visited the big strawberry growing section in the South and Southwest be fore starting on his Western trip, and says the berries this year hit the high mark for prices and looks for one of the best berry seasons in a number of years. The market for box apples as packed and put up in the Northwest and particularly at Hood River, Mr. Lanham says, is expanding more rap idly than it can be supplied and he looks lor a greater demand for them this year than ever before. Record Price for Wool. Oregon City The Oregon City Man ufacturing company has purchased a pool of wool at Scio, Linn County, pay ing 21.81 cents per pound. This is aid to be the highest price paid for wool m the Willamette valley this year. The company, which operates one of the largest woolen mills in the West, had a representative on the ground and entered into competition with Eastern and local concerns, as the pool was auctioned off at public sale to the highest bidder. About 4,000 fleeces were purchased, amounting to nearly 30,000 pounds. This sale of wool is far out of the ordinary transaction in this valley and establishes the Oreogn City Manufacturing company as one of the leading wool buying factories in the West Contract for Asylum Work. Salem Dalrymple & Anderson, of Salem, were awarded the contract for building a barn, dairy and other out houses at the asylum as authorized by the legislature. The price to be paid by the state is 16,279. Bids were aiao opened for the construction of two cot tages at tbe asylum, one for the super intendent and toe other for the assist ant superintendent. Markwart, Kutz ky k Pakowsky, of SL Johns, Or., was awarded tbe coc tract at S9.143.20. LaGrande Will Advertise. a-u4Bur; VW TJ LlftZLUUVrB DI HIP ( eountry. A. D.

Grants Pass Explains. Grants Pass The Commercial club is in receipt of the first installment of 3d, 000 books exploiting Josephine county. They are printed in magazine form and are generously embellished with well-arranged photos both attract ive and instructive. Typographically the books are things of beauty in plan and structure. Each contains 64 pages with an artistic colored covering. On the front in bold relief three powerful commercial producers are shown, the apple, pear and peach, while the back cover shows the coming industry that bids fair to overshadow all others, the flaming Tokay.

The amount war talk one hears on every side by ofj in London is perfectly amazing. The topic practically monopolizes conversa- tion in political and Bocial circles, and it seems to be penerallv rfmittH a kind of fatalistic romnloen !,.! sooner or later-probably sooner-the ! yoa amOUn? n are "t fan' British and r,erm o. 1 i!''? 1 tolerable charze t fir d i i t ,. People at large are taking note of the growing seriousness of the situa- tion, and many display acute nervous- ness. One hears members of the American colony talk, half humorously, pernaps, ana yet with a certain serious ness, of getting back home before the Germans come. Harry G. Selfridge said that personally be did not like the outlook. "I tried to insure my shop," said the j lormer Lhicagoan, "against bombard ment from the Thames, but the insur ance companies would not accept the risk." Germany, it is said, means to rule the sea, just as it rules the European mainland. Fails to Smuggle Opals. San Francisco, June 14.

Ex pugilists, low publicans, noblemen's but lers that were traders on men's wenk nefses or lust greasy, brass-chained, shovel-hatted, braxen-throated, braxen b rowed whh wolfish greed of gain .tamp ed more or less on their features the hnngry, gold-seeking mob oscillate round that low doorway. Tbe turfite', temple nerer shuts ; the fell war between backers and layers never ceases. Eager murmurs are hetrd midst that vulture-faced crowd. "He went very bad in the market this morning. "Tell me they offered threes, at the clubs." "What", wrong with him?" "What against Tbe Saint?" and similar hurried interrogatories fall on the ear. Now a brougham, now a well-ap-pooited ckb, whose driver throws the reins from his lavender-kidded hands to the next tiger; now the hansoms of ordinary life drop their respective occupants at the small doorway. Tne Subscription Room is full; round the big circular desks much paying and receiving is going on. The sofas round the room are crowded with loungers ; the tessellated pavement is trod by a fluctuat ing mass, who ebb and flow to different points as some one or two large .pecula tors vociferate the odds, or cease to do so. It is the settling day after the broken week at Newmarket, and sinister rumors are rife about the first favorite for tbe Two Thousand. He has stood at five to two for a long while, but report s&ys that three to one bas been laid and of fered, lo any amount of money, at the rac ing clubs tbi. morning. Half-past four fatal hour for many a favorite at T.ttersall's, the adjustment of last week's accounts is over, and the ring has time to turn it. attention to forthcoming events. "Three to one against Coriander for the Guineas," Is vociferated In more than one quarter. Nothing positive seem, known about tbe burse; but a panic ha. set In, and backers stand aloof from a wager that yesterday they would have jumped u Borne few adventurous men take the increased odd. to a little, but speedily repent as they find the disposition to lay that price rapidly increasing. At this juncture Pearman, attired in deep mourning, entered the Subscription Room. It was but a few days since his father', funeral, and, to do him justice, he would not have been there bad not a friend telegraphed to him early in the day tbe onslaught that was beine m.H Coriander. Business must be attended to, be argued, whether racing or otherwise' and knowing his horse to be perfectly well, he ran up at once to town t thl. demonstration against it.
