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

London, June 14. The amount

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.

CHAPTER XVIII.
It Is Monday afternoon. Tbe usual
crowd of refuse humanity clusters round
the door of the great turf exchange. Ex
pugilists, low publicans, noblemen's but

nefses or lust greasy, brass-chained,

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

T a4 Not an Evil.
In the course of an address beta
the Twentieth Century Club upon th
subject of divorce, Lucillius A EmerTi
chief judge of the Maine Supreme Jn
diclal Court, gave utterance to some
views that have created much com

and others, a Banger (Me.) dispatch to
the New Tork Herald says. Judge Em

Now, In my opinion, divorce Is not an
evil, but rather a remedy for evil. Uk
other remedies for evil, It may and

after marriage. I shall not conilde
the moral side of the question. I m

but I say that in choosing divorce so
ciety bas chosen the lesser. I
heard it said that divorce should not

I maintain that it is better for thenr

I say these things in tbe light of hon
