Over 1,000,000 Bushels Of Wheat Change Hands More than a million bushels of wheat changed hands in Pendle ton last Saturday, according to the estimates of the buyers. The jumping of the price from G8 to 70 cents brought many farmers to the city, all eager to close at the price for which they have been holding. All of the buyers got all they could handle at one time and as a result, the market is quiet today. Most of the local agents have not received quota tions today though they estimate that the price is still the same. East Oregonian. Thaw To Be Deported Sherbrooke, Aug. 25.

We do not (latter ourselves that the intellect of our time, judged by the power of individuals, is excep tionally great. No doubt men of commanding genius are still with us, but thev are not more numerous or more original than in former times. What then is the peculiar ity that liai produced such great re sults? In my opinion what has been accomplished is due in great part to the spread of higher education, which has evolved an army of com petent investigators possessing en thusiasm for research which now, for the first time, is led into useful paths by the few great minds, whose powers thus receive a wider range and become more productive. It is in this that our great strength lies. Professor Arthur Schuster in Science. MEXICANS ATTACKGORDER CITY Wilson Says Huertn Must Change His Attitude Or Message Will Be Read El.
