ATHENA, NOVEMBER 22, 1895
Very heavy and weak markets
were daily wired from the East
and Europe . throughout the week,
and wheat is how very cheap in
deed. Low, however, as are pre
vailing prices, it must be admitted
that present conditions offer but
little encouragement that values
will improve in the rear future.
About a month ago signs were not
wanting of a revival of interest in
the trade. In England values took
an upward turn, accompanied by
an improved demand. Eastern
and, in fact, all American "markets
were generally of a hardening ten
dency, and appearance at that time
certainly warranted the belief that
the situation had changed for the
better and of a permanent charact
er, Exports of wheat and flour
have been liberal, with every pros
pect of free shipment throughout
the Benson. Receipts at the princi
pal inland ports have been exceed
ing heavy, and it waB thought that
the rush of supplies to market ere
this would fall off, and that no
special difficulty would be found
in taking care of fresh supplies. At
this juncture, contrary to all ex
nnntntinna. the movement of erain
from the West and Northwest, in
stead a showing of decrease, began
to incroase rapidly. These abnor
mally large receipts had a depres
sing effect upon the trade and prices
gave way. Europo followed the
American decline, and the earlier
promised revival in wheat was
checked, temporarily at least.
While in the face of the present
demoralization there seems to be no
reason to doubt that an improve
ment will occur later in the season,
present visible stocks must be di
minished before any materil ad
vance is likely to take place.
The cloud in the far East has
already grown much largor than a
man's hand, and is growing to the
alarm of the European powers.
The Empire to which this hand
belongs is Russia, and it looms up
portentously in the uncertain af
fairs of the East. Whether it
means war or not, is the question
now agitating Great Britain, Ger
many, Turkey and Japan. Russia
wants more room in "which to
breathe, and move her mighty aims
and armies. Russia is ambitious,
and, like Gieat Britian, is aggress
ive and desirous to obtain more of
this earth for her own aggrandize
ment. She does not however, like
Groat Britain, seek to "grab up"
what are left of "the Isles of the
Sea," or to claim the best part of a
littlo South American Republic, or
a big slice of Undo Sam's Alaskan
gold fields; but she works in a po
lite, diplomatic way, and when her
point is gained, as with China, why
there she is with a powerful fleet
of battleships and torpedo crafts
ready to maintain the object won
agains the combined forces of her
rivals. England is intensely jeal
ous of Russia.
Thehk is being enacted in our
sister town of Milton at the present
time, by its own citizens, tlut
which tends always to retard the
progress of a town, no matter in
what form it may appear, namely
a continual pulling and hauling of
citizens. Over there tlie trouble is
that parties want a street laid out.
This street is much needed, but the
very people who would be directly
benefited by the street, cannot
agree as to the location of the street
and even now, it is said, that dam
ages are claimed by thote parties
exceeding a thousand dollars, which
is probably ten times more than all
the land taken up by the street is
worth.
Closely following upon John
Sherman's book and the controv
ersy which it started over Garfield's
nomination, comes Gail Hamil
ton's Life of Blaine, wherein the
gifted author, so it is said, discusses
with the utmost freedom Harris
on's treatment of Blaine while the
latter was secretary of state. It is
safe to predict that such discussion
will stir up, political circles into a
tempest compared with which the
Sherman-Garfield controversy will
prove to have been but the boiling
over of a tea-pot.

There was a time when Europe
was not half as well prepared for
war as it is now, and yet if there
had been then only half a provoca
tion that there is at present a great
struggle would have been precipv
tated. Every nation has a larger
and moreNsompleteVrraament. than
ever, but each one knows that his
neighbor is equally as well prepar
ed and that very knowledge holds
hirnin restraint. Will there be a
gi eat battle of the giants, or will
this vast armament break down
of its own weight?
The coroner's jury at Browns
ville lost no time in placing respon
sibility for the most astrocious mur
der there Tuesday upon the person
to whom public suspicion natural
ly was first to turn. Distressing
as it is to accuse a son of the mur
der of both parents, as well as of
an apparently indifferent visitor,
circumstances seem to put the burd
en of proof that he is not the crim
inal upon the unhappy boy under
arrest. The strongest evidence in
his ftvor is the absence of a motive
conceivably adequate.
The capacity of the present hall
was taxed to its utmost during the
play Saturday night. Athena will
support a commodious opera house,
and to the man or men who will
-if
erect one, there will come in return
good money on the investment.
The Pendleton papers have ceas
ed the "showing up" of the county
printing matterthe mire was too
deep for the parties concerned.
Their editorial space is now filled
with city election, waterworks, pro
positions, etc.
The Marlborough-Vanderbilt
wedding carried joy into the hearts
and ducats into the pockets of num
erous people, not the least deserv
ing of which were the newspaper
space-writers of Gotham.
The best way of judging of the
enterprise of a community is to see
what disposition it will make of a
proposition which will advance its
interests indirectly, but require a
direct outlay.
The Wheat Situation.
The Walla Walla .Union says
there is 90 per cent of the wheat
harvested in the Walla Walla val
ley and tributaries in 1895 stored
in elevators and on the farms,
awaiting the final determination of
the rate casa now before the inter
state commerce commission. This
shows the magnitude of the inter
ests involved in a community that
depends greatly on the movements
of crops to keep business moving
on a solid basis. The announce
ment of a favorable decision would
start many thousands of tons of
grain on its way to markets of the
world, and the producers would be
placed in a condition to pay their
obligations to the extent of such
shipments, and make such purchas
es as they may need and give en
couragement to all kinds of busi
ness. The undersigned having been ap
pointed by the court Receiver for
the C. A. Barrett Co., all parties
owing said firm are requested to
call and settle their accounts.
C, A. Barrett,
Receiver.
Here is good bicycle time. Mr.
Barney Bond, a nephew of Mr.
John J. Becler, of Weston, made a

The Crowds at Lewiston.
Near Lewiston on the different
roads to the reservation, there have
been unbroken trains of travelers
in vehicles and "hoseback " It is
estimated there were 2000 people
on Lapwai creek Monday, moving
or preparing to move to tbe inter
ior. The majority of the boomers
are people of intelligence and
thrift. Their wagons and horses
are of the best, and their supplies
and outfits are complete.
There is great confusion on ac
count of the incompleteness of the
surveys. Many people are as much
confused as if they were at sea
without a compass. Many sharp
ors are making money bj pretend
ing to aid strangers in making se
lections. One plan of insuring lo
cations is the organization of the
homeseekers into companies. Shot
guns and rifles are prominent feat
ures in the equipment. It is fear
ed that force may be used in the
defense of claims. There is every
where apparent a reckless disre
gard for legal methods. A com
pary of miners departed this morn
ing for the mountains. 50 miles
awav, where rich quartz ledges
are believed to exist.
Three Persons Murdered.
John Montgomeroy, his wife and
D. B. McKircher were found murd
ered at i o'clock Wednesday after
noon on the farm of S. 0. Temple
ton, three miles east of Browns
ville. All three of the victims had
been shot with a rifle and the mur
derers made (rood their escape. No
motive is at present known for the
crime,
A later dispatch says: Lloyd
Montgomery, the 18-year-old-son
of John Montgomery, who was
murdered Tuesday last, has been
arrested for the murder. Through
his attorney, B. S. Martin, ha
waived preliminary examination
and was taken to Albany by Dept.
Sheriff Wilson this morning. At
torney Martin states that the grand
jury will convene next Monday to
investigate the -charge against
young Montgomery. The coroner's
jury returned a verdict virtually
charging voting Montgomery' with
the murder of the three persons,
but the evidence is purely circum
stantial. - - .
Peculiar Mental Derangement.
." Salem, eays the Statesman, has
a very peculiar case of mental de
rangement. For about two months
one of its citizens, an old and high
ly re.-pected German, has suffered
from some affection of the brain
which causes him a total loss of
memory in certain respects, while
his faculties in other ways . seem
entirely unimpaired; A curious
feature of the ailment is that he is
fully conscious of it and it worries
him greatly. He was considerable
of a reader, but now he takes up a
book or paper and does not know
one letter from another. If asked
to write his name he will do so but
in two minutes if the signature is
shown him he cannot tell what it
is. He can transact business for a
time being with knowledge and ac
curacy, but in a short time its de
tails are all jumbled up in his
mind. He eats, sleeps and enjoys
his pipe as well as ever and takes
his exercise regularly, and cannot
understand the nature of his afflic
tion. It is an interesting case for
pathologists. Some of Salem phy
sicians and one in Portland have
been studying it, but have come to
no conclusion about it.
About Oregon Stock.
A 1-cent levy is soon to be made
by the Sheepmen's Protective
Union, of Gilliam county, and then
there will be ample money on hand
to pay off all coyote bounty claims.
At present there is shortage, owing
to coyote scalps coming in with tin-
looked for rapidity. The bounty
has been in operation a little over
two months, and sheepmen say
that no sheep to Bpeak of has been
killed in the last month,
H. Y. Blackwell returned to
Lone creek last week, from Pendle
ton, where he delivered a band of
200 head of beef cattle. This, he
Bays, will be his last shipment this
season, as all cattle that are fit for
beef are declining in flesh.
Several thousand head of beef
cattle are being feed in the vicinity
of Gazelle. Harris Bros, will feed a
band of fine beet cattle purchased
from W. T. G rider and other well
known stock raisers.
W. II. Ambrose, of Middle Fork,
started his band of sheep to the
Heppner country last week, where
he will feed them during the win
ter. ,
. An Important Office.
To properly fill its office and func
tions, it is important that the blood
be pure. When it is in Buch a con
dition, the body is almost certain
to be healthy. A complaint at
this time is catarrh in some of its
various forms. A slight cold de'
velopes the disease in the head
Droppings of corruption passing
into the lungs bring on constipa
tion. The only way to cure this
disease is to purify the blood. The
most obstinate cases of catarrh
yield to the medicinal powers of
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
What the Land Does.
The following is a portion of a
speech by the eloquent Omaha
chief, White Cow: ''This land is
our mother. She has cared for us
since we were born. She has fat
tened for our food the deer and the
buffalo on the prairies. This land
has fed us. This land has made
us live, and, dying, this land, like
a mother, takes us into her bosom
again. We cannot have food with
out land. Nothing but land can
give us plenty to eat and strength
and make us happy. We need
land to live."
