Pendleton—A t prices slightly in ad­ vance o f anything paid in this county before this season, nearly 500,000 pounds o f wool, or everything that was offered, changed hands at Echo. The highest price paid was 17 cents, while the lowest was 13 L,. The fol­ lowing is the list of sellers, with amount sold, price paid, and name of purchaser; Joe Cunha, 75,000 pounds, IT '«c ; William Slusher, 65,000, 1|U; Rider and Dufour toed and clip divided. Antone Vey, 102,000 pounds, 16 l4c, Green. Cunningham Sheep & Land company, 11,000, 145uc, Jonas. John Killkenny, 76,000 pounds, 14c, Dufour. The last two bids have not been ac­ cepted, but it is believed they will be before the sale is over. The Stanfield and Perry clip of 275,- 000 pounds was sold at private sale to Rider for 15 cents. This cleans up the entire 1910 clip of wool in Uma­ tilla county. Bumper Wheat Sample Shown. The Dalles— An evidence of the dur­ ability of the soil of this locality is on exhibition at the rooms of the Business Men’s association in this city. I t is a bunch of wheat from the Rice home­ stead on Ten Mile, taken from a field that has been continuously cropped for 45 years. The stalks are four feet high, the heads plump and well filled. The en­ tire field from which the sample is ta­ ken will yield not less than 40 bushels to the acre. This field w as one of the first “ upland” fields cultivated in Was­ co county, and has raised a crop every year for the past 45 years. Some years the yield from this land has not been very great, but it has nev­ er failed to produce a crop, and the average yield has been about 35 bush­ els to the acre. Coal in Linn County. Stayton— Coal in paying quantities underlies an area of approximately five by eight miles on the Linn county side o f th j Santiam river, and forms an­ other natural resource o f Stayton which may some day be o f inestimable value. The discovery was made this week by Pat Lambert. While 30 feet beneath the surface one mile south of Kiphart’s bluff, Mr. Lambert found a fine quality o f soft coal in a cropping similar to the out­ cropping at Kiphart's bluff and in the cave at Kingston. When the matter was reported here, A. L. Shreve, among others, figured it out that all of these croppings o f bituminous coal form one and the same vein, which covers an estimated area of 40 to 45 square miles. Elgin Gets Brick Plant. Elgin — Representing a company wishing to construct a fire brick plant here, J. W. Robinson appeared before the Commercial club, asking a bonus o f 10 acres of ground for construction of a $100,000 brick plant. Bricks made here have been tested for fire­ proof, and have proved superior to any manufactured in this country. While the brick weighs less that half that of ordinary brick, weighing but two pounds, it withstands a pressure which is required to use in buildings in New York City. Gas Flow Continuous, Marshfield—The flow of natural gas at Harbor, in the Southern end o f Cur­ ry county, continues. It was discover­ ed about two months ago on the coast, and has been found on the table land about half a mile back from where it was first found. No steps to develop the gas have yet been taken, and as to just what kind o f gas it is has not yet been learned. Tt is likely that an expert will be brought in to investi­ gate and see if the find is o f any value. Gets Another Sawmill. Bend—James E. Reed is erecting sawmill on the Laverne Reed claim, some distance to the eastward o f the Silver Lake road and about two miles south o f Bend. The capacity o f the mill will be 15,000 feet per day. A planer and other adjuncts will be ad­ ded. Build Warehouse for Hay. Joseph— F. D. McCully and Ed Rum­ ble are having a 50x100 foot ware­ house huilt near the depot, to be used for their large hay business. Owing to the unusually heavy insurance, it proved very expensive to store hay with wool and grain. Will Drill for Oil. Bandon— The Miocene Oil & } Gas company is preparing to start drilling - ' n *be Bear Creek country. The dril lers come from Pennslyvania and are experienced men in the oil drilling business. Train Reaches Prairie City. Prairie City— The first train into this city reached here last Saturday night, when a construction train on the Sumpter Valley railroad arrived at the depot. Regular train service has now been inaugurated. Another Big Warehouse. Klamath Falls— George T. Baldwin is building a warehouse 48x86 feet on the sidetrack across from the depot. The building will be covered with cor- ruga ted iron. Estimated Number Given in Census Bureau's Report for 1907, Washington, D.

Wise, of Pittsburg, Pa., two oil opera­ tors visited the oil fields this week. They were attracted here by the re­ ports of the Enterprise and were driv­ en to the field by Geo. S. Mills. Over at the Malheur well the gentlemen saw indications and croppings that pleased qs well as surprised them. They went from here to Evanston, Wyoming, another new field. They are now operating wells in Illinois, and so pleased were they with the local field that on boarding the train they stated that they would return soon. ELEVEN BILLION MESSAGES. KILL AND PLUNDER Mexican Robbers Take Advantage oí Political Troubles. National Elections Approaching and Opposition to Diaz Regime Rap­ idly Gains Headway. El Paso, Texas— With the national elections a week off and the muttering against the administration o f Presi­ dent Diaz louder than they have ever been before, and with outlaws terror­ izing the state of Vera Cruz, killing men and women, burning buildings and tearing up railroad tracks, Mexico is in a state of turmoil. Already, one American, Norman Lawler, manager of the Monte Pio plantation has been killed by the bandits, who are contin­ uing their ravages upon the state in open defiance o f the authorities.

Mitchell clip of 30,000 pounds, sold at 17 cents. A bid o f 171» cents was offered for the big clip o f the Malheur Land & Livestock company, but was refused. Other clips sold were the C. H. Ox- man, 25,000 pounds at 16 cents; the Jack McCumsey and L. B. Hayes, at 13 cents. One million and a half pounds of wool were in the warehouses, but only a few clips were placed on the market, on account o f the present low prices. Twenty Eastern wool buyers were present. Another sale day will be held in July. Most of the large wool growers will consign their clips to the Eastern market in a few days. FLOUR B O TT L E BLOWS UP. Chemist Tells o f Injurious Effect o f Doctored Article on Stomach, Kansas City, Mo. — The contents of a bottle, said by attorneys for the government to have contained bleached flour, exploded during the "bleached flour” trial here today. It was while Professor S. F. Acre, o f the chemistry department of Johns Hop­ kins university, was on the stand that the explosion occurred. "W h at caused itT” askel an attor­ ney. “ The formation o f peroxide gas in the flour,” answered the professor, “ Decomposition as well as bleaching would cause gas to form in flour,” he explained. On cross-examination the professor admitted that there were nitrites in air, rainwater and melted snow. Alfred Steigel, professor of clinical medicine in the University o f Pennsyl­ vania, testified that nitrites, when in­ troduced into a human body, lowered the grade o f the blood, depressed the circulation, had an injurious effect on the muscular tissues and excited in­ juries to tho stomach and intestinal tracts by impairing indigestion. He added that in 50 years o f practice he had never seen a case of nitrite poison­ ing. Miss Hanna L. Wesslyng, o f the government food laboratory, Chicago, brought into court biscuits o f her own baking. The biscuits had been made by Miss Wesslyng from some of the flour seized by the government. Those which had been subjected to the Greias re-agent test were pink. Biscuits made from unbleached flour subjected to the same test retained their normal color. Miss Wesslyng said the pink color indicated the presence o f nitrites. OPEN SH O P C O U P IN VIEW. 400,000 Men Will Be Taken to Los Angeles if Unions War.
