WHEAT STILL SOARING HIGH Korthwest Millers Forced to Pay Fancy Irices for Blueotera. " Portland. Or.," April 7. More money has ben paid for wheat sup plies In tha Pacific Northwest during the paat week than ever before In the history of the three states. Blue stem wheat sold In a small way at Eaatern Oregon-Washington polnta tip to $1.80 a buihel bails tidewater delivery or $1.20 a bushel at ship ping points. It Is estimated at this time that not more than a few hun dred thousand bushels all told re main In the hands of the producers of Oregon, Idnho and Washington, while the demand for thlB grade, ven at tha high price now In effect, will be for several times that amount. So great has become the shortage in bluestefa supplies that much though they regret It, some of the mailer millers have been forced to make their patents out of club and other varieties. Fear is expressed In some quar ters that the Pacific Coast may be compelled to reverse the movement which set in a few years ago during which the Pacific states sent millions of bushels of wheat to the East, by bringing In supplies of wheat from east of the Rockiea to evade the shortage in the better grade stuff here. ESTH :R MITCHELL IS FREE Shot Her Brother After Latter Had Slain "Holy Roller" Leader. Seattle, Wash., April 6.

One of the stipulations in the parole is that Miss Mitchell shall be returned to the Stellacoom asylum If Bhe shows any symptoms of a re turn of her malady. Mrs. Creffleld died in prlaon in this city, where it is believed she committed suicide. Prison Meets Cut In Sacks. Walla Walla, Wash., April 6.

Wallace, Idaho, April 5. The first train to pass through St. Paul Pass tunnel at Taft on the line of the Chicago Milwaukee & Puget Sound railroad, made the trip at noon Sunday. Work trains are now running from the coast to a point near Missoula. Here's a Suggestion An enthusiastic Orcgonlau return ing to the past for several months visit, provided himself In advancu with a gunitrou sited uoto book, and k- i a word of all his traveling aiu..int antes aud all bis old friends with whom fan talked In different parts of the country. Thesu people arj hjw getting booklets from every part of Oregon through the Portland Com modal Club. Others ran assist ma terially In this way. , : ; Activity All Along the Lino 1 Meetings under the auspices of the local organisations of the Oregon De velopment League are being hold at Roseburg Monday, April 6th, at Cen tral Point Tuesday, Oakland Wednes day, Cottage Grove Thursday, Etigene Friday, and Oregon City Saturday. The Central Point gathering will have del egations present representing the en tire Rogue Rlvor Valley.; Flurry on Front 8trat A Portlaud commission house, the Southern Oregon Commission Co., of fers to give to any shipper the name of any customer to whom his produce was sold, so the customer . can find out exactly what price was received. Tha company also gives access to Its books so tha shipper can ascertain for hiuiself Just what returns he is entitled to. This is a radical change from tho traditional policy of secrecy heretofore 'followed by the front street commission men and the adver- tlsment of this new offer has created qutto a stir. ALL-OREGON BENEFITTED As a direct result of the advertls lng campaign carried on by the Port land Commercial Club, of which a feature has been the statement that people can buy their tickets to any point in Oregon just as cheaply aa to Portland, and the act that the money la Bpent In telling of the resources of the state rather than the attract ions of the city, very few correspon dents ask about Portland now-adays. In fact over fifty per cent of all th specific inquiries are about fruit lands. This is true because not only are agriculturists and horticulturists Inter ested, but men In the professional walks of life who want to get out in the open air find fruit growing es pecially congenial. Many of this class have been among our most success ful growers In various parts of Ore gon. The inquiries about dairying are not numerous, but they oome from those actually engaged In the work In other states, and undoubtedly a larger percentage of the dairy letters mean settlers than those on other subjects. The magnificent work of the cit izenship of Oregon, the co-operation of the churches and the schools with the commercial bodies, has influenced nine-tenths of the people who are coming to this state on colonist rates so that they go direct to their place of final settlement, and the congest ion felt so keenly at Portland during record-breaking 1907 is almost entirely done away with. As the crowning test of organisation, Portland has had such loyal assistance from her business houses and citizens that 500,000 leaf lets have gone out in their letters In a single month. ) C and fltn its ,loViMa Jo . , A t ' i C ; M FROM THE NATION'S CAPITAL PLAN MAXIMO! TARIFF FOR IIOHTII.K NATIONS. GIVE YEAR TO ADJUST RATES Representative From Missouri Would Make Kuprrras Court Arbiters. WashingtonPresident Taft has been Informed of lbs senate program for the administration of the new tariff bill. It provides that the minimum- tariff shall apply to all coun tries for one year. At the end of that time the maximum rates will go Into ' effect against all countries which, In the opinion of tho Presi dent, are not giving tho . United States their best tariff rates. The President, it Is understood, favors strongly the Idea of applying the maximum and minimum princi ple and It Is believed that It will be agreed upon fully. Reports have been current that the majority sen timent In the senate opposed the minimum and maximum principle a enunciated in the Payne bill. . The difference between the mini mum and maximum rates will be 20 per cent. It Is planned that for nine months or one year the minimum rate shall apply to all countries with out distinction or discrimination. At the end of this period the maximum rates will go Into effect. Spar km an (Fla.)' opened the dls eussion' with an earnest plea for a restoration' of trie Dlngley rate on lumber and the imposition of a duty of five cents a pound on cotton. While declaring he would vote for the bill, Klnkald (Neb.) entered a strenuous objection to the taxing of the accessaries of life which are not produced in this country. The pro posed tax on tea and the counter vailing duty on coffee, he said, were especially obnoxious to him and be urged their removal. Kinkaid also opposed the placing of hides on the free list. Many changes were made in the paragraphs covering linoleums, horsehair goods, wood 'pulp and print paper, cutlery and wire. The duty on charcoal Iron Is reduced to $10 a ton, while all glues are as sessed at 25 per cent ad valorem. Three o'clock p. m., April 9. was set by the house Monday for a vote on the Payne tariff bill. The supreme court of the United States shall alone have the right to determine the validity or constitu tionality of acts of congress, if the bill introduced by Representative De Armond (Mo.) becomes a law.

The contracts may be made for not more than a year at a time, and bond must be given by the insti tution receiving the deposit obligat ing it not to lend any money for use In any. kind of gambling venture.

THE MINSTRELS WERE SPLENDID The minstrel on Monday evening given by local talent under the aus pices of the Presbyterian Aid Society was the event of tho aeson in the line of entertainment There waa not a dull moment from the raise of the curtain until the end of the program, for If It waa not a pretty song render ed in a most pleasing way it was laugh from the sidesplitting jokes of the end men. More than thirty people took nart In the minstrel and, dressed In gorgeous costume, made an imposing sight. "Billy" McAdams, the soloist at the Star, made the hit of the evening both in joke and in song. This is the third "black face" show the Presbyterian ladies have given and has proved the most successful In every way. . - Married at Eugene The marriage of Horace Burnett, formerly of Independence, now resid lng at Eugene, where he Is city editor of the Daily Guard, to Miss Josephine Jensen of that city took place Wednes day evening.

BARNES CASH STORE WE UNDERSELL CREDIT STORES SALEM, $ OREGON MAKE THIS UP AT YOUR HOME Prepare at Home by Shaking Ingredi ents Well in a Bottle What will appear very interesting to many people here Is the article tak en from a New York dally paper, giv ing a simple prescription, which is said to be a positive remedy for back ache or kidney or bladder derange ment, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsasparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well-known druggist here at home, when asked regarding this pre scription', stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost at any good prescrip tion pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He fur ther stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflic tions with splendid results he could see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and uri nary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing the most impor tant organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which causes sickness and suffering. Those of our readers who suffer can make no mis take in giving it a trial.
