HERE'S A PARTNER FOR "JOE" Best Fed Cog in Wallace Has Been Working a Eold Game- Hoboes and bums are being run out of Wallace at the rate of four and five every day, and in view of the cleanup that is going on iu Spokane at present a particularly close vigil is being kept on the arrivals for any objectionable characters. An amusing side to this campaign is its effect on "Marcus," a dog owned by Tom Maher, of Wallace who used tu be the proprietor of the Combination saloon in that city. Marcus is the test-known dog in Wallace, and is said to be the biggest eater in the United States. Competent authorities state that Marcus has been known to have from 20 to 30 meals a day, but in spite of this he never ap pears to get any fatter. The modus operandi is as follows: The hobo who "is in the know" gets Marcus and adjourns to the nearest restaurant for some scraps "fer Mar cus." ..These are usually wrapped np in a newspaper, aud the man and' dog retire to somo secluded spot where a good, square meal is eaten iu full view of the dog. This worthy end haviug been attained Marcus is passed over to another of the fraternity, who also gets some "soraps fer Marcus" at a different eating house and the little comedy is played over again until "Mafous" has been fed at every house in the city. As a general rnle the waiters in the different houses under stand the game exactly, bnt in one case 'whore a new hasher bad been im ported and who demanded two bits a meal "fer Marcus" the dog had to go hungry as far as that particular house was concerned for several mouths. At present there are only five or six known feeders of Marons iu the city and when these are disposed of the dog is likely to die of starvation. PRICES FOR PALOUSE WHEAT Offers to Contract New Crop Can Not Be Verified. Seventy-three eeuts a bushel for red wheat is the ptice quoted iu the Pa louse district. No wheat is selling be cause there is none to sell, but the price offered shows the strength of the market. Ked wheat is always quoted several cents below oluband bluest em, and the price given above is the lowest offered there. With wheat soaiing about 75 cents a bushel and the prospects for at least an average yield of spring wheat and the biggest yield of winter wheat that section has ever produced, the farmers of the Palouse country have just cause for optimism, which prevails to a large extent among all olassoa in that dis trict. It is rumored that offers to contract the new crop at 65 cents a bushel are being liiade. The Spokesman-Review correspondent tried to trace this rumor to its fonndation, but has failed to find any one there who is offering that, or any prioe, for the new crop, although all express oonfldenoe that the new crop will start off at from 00 to 70 cents a bushel. Dealers say that wheat is being con tracted at Lewiston for 05 emits a bushel, aud that three crops were con tracted at Albion some time ago for 60 cents. These were bluestem aud forty fold wheat, tbe two highest priced va rieties grown iu that section, but it is said that tbe farmers who oontraoted have withdrawn their contract with tbe oon-ieut of tbe managor of tbe farmers' warehouse, which bought the grain. TEST OREGON INSPECTION LAW Washington Sheepmen File Snits in United States Court Washington sheep owners have filed two suits in tbe United States circuit court to test tbe constitutionality of tbe compulsory sheep-inspection law passed at tbe last session of tbe Oregon legislature. An order was issued di recting tbe members of the sheep com mission to appear in court at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon and show cause why an injunction should not be granted, restraining the Oregon sheep commission fiom interfeting with Washington sheepmen in bringing their sheep into this state. Both complaints are identical as to tbo charges. In one tbe plaintiffs are Leon Jaussand, Felix Hollebeke, C. A. Holes, Camilla Meyer and 8. V. Davin. In the other IL C. Adams and II. C. Bryson, together with a dozen other prominent sheepmen in Washington, appear as complainants. Tbe plaintiffs are all members of tbe Wenaba Woolgrowers association. Johnnie Ridenonr stopped over a day in Athena yesterday to visit friends. He is on his way to Mon tana with a crew of sheep sbeutera, and will finish tbe season there. in o Prominent Citizen Makes Some Timely Suggestions. WOULD HOLD PUBLIC MEETING County Superintendent and Patrons Should Be Brought Together In Discussion. Agitation for better sobools in Ath ena has commenoed none too soou. School direotors and a clerk are to bo eleoted at the annual school election, which takes place Monday, June 17. The tax payers of the district and tbe pations of the school are deeply inter ested in this vital matter, and the fol lowing communication from a prom inent citizen, contains good sugges tions : Athena, Oregon, May 31, (To the Editor) "Do not think it presump tuous in me to say a few things in the Press about preparing for a prosperous school at this place, beginning this fall. It is far from my purpose to want to be conspicuous about this or any other matter. I think it timely, however, for everybody in Athena and vicinity to become highly interest ed in the school situation, and to make an honest effort from now on to main tain a school at this place, seoond to none in Umatilla county. In order to do this we must beoome deeply inter ested, work in harmony, put aside our grievances, forget tbe past, oorrect present irregularities, and prepare for the future. "It is one of the imperative '"duties of every citizen to be interested iu publio education. We have some citi zens in this place who are heavy tax payers, and who" have no children of sobool age. We can not expect these to have much more than a passive in terest in the schools, yet they pay their taxes, heavy as they may be, without a murmur. No donbt every one of them would be pleased to see good resnlts from tbe money they pay, as taxes, toward the maintenance of tbe schools; out, on the oontrary, those taxpayers who have children of sobool age are expected to take an active in terest in publio education aud get tbe very best returns from the money puid. "It might be suggestod that some time before tbe eleotion of direotors we have a publio educational rally, and discuss proper subjeots appertain ing to the maintenance of a good sobool, among which might be men tioned tbe salaries that we can afford to pay, tbe kind of teachers suitable, tbe support to be given the teachers and directors, aud many other things. "School directors need the support of the patrons; tbe teaobers need tbo united support of all. The children need encouragement. I would there fore suggest, if not premature aud pre sumptuous, that tlie citizens have it,( understood that a publio meeting bo held within a fow weeks for tbe dis cussion of portiueut subjeots along tbe Hue of publio eduoation, and that we have tbe county superintendent of sobools, some noted or successful teaobers, aud other outside persons present to deliver short addresses. This, in my judgment will workup en thusiasm and start a progressive move ment whioh will eventuate iu very uotioable success for tbe school at this place. "Let us cease our complaints of tbo past, forget them all, and remember that we have duties to perform in tbe proper maintenance of good schools. If we do this, and the proper steps are taken in time, we shall have one of tbe best sobools iu tbe history of Athena one that every citizen will be prond to mention. We are not finding fault whatever with the past, but new life, vigor, aud enthusiasm are greatly needed right now." "Will M. Peterson." Decoration of Graves. Yesterday was National Memorial day. It was appropriately observed iu Athena, though no publio exercises were held. At 10 o'clock, tbe few surviving members of Gettysburg Post G. A. R. assembled at their hall and were driven in carriages to the ceme tery, where the graves of seventeen sol dier dead were decorated with flags and flowers. Many Athena people spent a portion of tbe duy at tbe cem etery aud beautifully decorated tbe graves of departed relatives and friends.
