ATHENA, AUGUST 21,. ... . 1908
There are many different ways of look
ing at the matter of farmers holding on
to their wheat for increise in price, thial
being the way the Pendleton Tribune
looks at it: "The bullish tendency of
the wheat market may cause many farm
ers to hold their wheat for unreasonable
prices. . Not a few said they would sell
for 70 cents, but last sales for that price
are hardly to be mentioned. It is only
. good sense for the raiser to get as much
as he can but it is nothing short of gamb
ling in many cases to hold. If the farm
er can afford to pay interest, stand off
his creditors, etc., and speculate on the
market, especially when it goes above 70
cents, that is his own business, but plain
ly speaking, wheat should "commence to
move."
Every indication points to a price bet
ter than 70 cents for wheat, and it's safe
to wager that if the Tribune man had
wheat to sell he ' would be "gambling"
along with the farmer. That wheat is
sure to go up in price, the action of Cal
fornia millers combining to control vir
tually the wheat crop of the state, is to
be considered a flattering indication,
The fleets headed for California ports,
will now be compelled to seek cargos for
foreign shipment either at Portland or
on the Sound. The California exporter
necessarily need not be idle, for the local
markets of Oregon and Washington have
wheat to sell and the highest bidder will
get It. However, with wheat at 70 cents
there remains no excuse for non-payment
of his obligations, and the farmer
should sell enough wheat to satisfy his
bill with the merchant and others, or
borrow the money at the bank for liqui
ilation purposes.
Tell it not to Roosevelt! A woman of
Michigan who is "authority on . child,
study" is oppoBod to large families be
cause of the dangor of degeneracy to
iue children. Commenting on the case
of the 11-year-old child at Los Angeles
who tried to kill her guardians, foster
purents and five guests by putting poi
s n in their food that 'she might enjoy
their agonies she scys; "The fact that
the child was one of a family of fifteen
children may have been the explanation
of her state. The mother's vitality
luust have been so exhausted that the
girl lucked something in body and mind.
When more than seven children are
born in a family, all but the first six are
apt t be stupid or frail." Certain sci
entists support this view, If there is
physical lack in the later births there
A ill, of course, be mental or moral lack.
The moral sense of the family may have
"ruu out." Sometimes, say these sci
entists, the spiritual and mental traits
of a targe family are exhausted, and the
result is a degeneratean idiot or a
criminal. Ingenius theory. Only it
mii 't true. A large percentage of idiots
are first-born. Some of the best and
greatest men of history have been
the youngest sons of large families. If
the breed is bad, the less children the
batter. If the breed is good, there can
not le too many. It all depends on the
t'l''l)i.
A game warden at Walla Walla pro
poses to instigate a crusade against the
practice of those in whom riparian right
is vested, in allowing trout to enter ir
rigating ditches. This method of tlsh
extermination has been ooticable for
years, and that it is far more destructive
than angling, is now a well established
fact. This warden proposes to force
owners of ditches to place screens at the
point where the ditch takes water from
the river. It is poor policy for the gov
ernment to expend vast sums of money
for the increase of fish in depleted rivers
aud streams without first curtailing this
lestructive source of depletion.
:r-irw Carnegie has given $2,500,
J u 5 per cent United States bonds to
his native town in Scotland. "How
much money baa Mr. Caruegie given to
the poor devils from whom he made his
fabulous ' wealth," "asks the Heppner
Gazette. "Has be ever given to people
who are in actual need. Who gave the
money to the Heppner flood sufferers?
It was the common people who divided
with us. Carnegie will need his money
to buy ice with."
The new rate on flour and wheat to
the orient is said to have stimulated the
transpacific trade and it is announced
that another steamship will be needed
to handle the freight offered on the line
that is operated in connection with the
O. K. k N. from Portland. There is
likely to be a similar demand for space
on other northern' lines, which Will mean
a considerable increase in the already
promising oriental business.
Otis Patterson, formerly of the Hepp
ner Gazette, will again launch in the
newspaper business. Associated with
Walter Lyon, former private secretary
of Governor Geer, they have purchased
the Daily Astorian at Astoria. Both
are able and well known newspaper
men and ought to succeed.
The many friends of Alex M cite a in
