catechism to the children there, and
the children will meet at the home

Corvallis, Ore., April 23. -GRAIN
Soft red winter wheat goes to 2.
Weather unfavorable. Froni the
viewpoint of Oregon wheat growers
the most important development
last week In the grain markets was
the continued strength of soft red
winter wheat which advanced to
well above $2.00 at both Chicago
and St Louis. This has caused a
very firm situation for Pacific Coast
wheats which can be substituted for
soft red winter in making low pro
tein types of flour. Contracting of
new crop wheat has also been stim
ulated by the low condition and
heavy abandonment of winter wheat
in the United States, particularly
in the soft red winter districts, and
continued reports of winter killing
in Europe.
On the whole, wheat markets,
both domestic and foreign, were
stronger last week, although more
unsettled than the week previous.
Weather conditions in the United
States and Canada were unfavor
able for spring planting. Condi
tions in Europe were reported bet
ter. Wheat stocks in Canada are
reported 43,000,000 bushels more
than a year ago and in Argentina
10,000.000 bushels less.
HAY AND FEEDS. Feed mar
kets were quite firm last week in
fluenced by higher grain prices and
weather which further retarded
pastures. Linseed meal, however,
continued weak and prices declined
50c to $1.00 a ton. Alfalfa hay mar
kets showed a weaker tone.
POTATOES. -The carlot move
ment of potatoes was again becom
ing heavy at the close of last week.
The total movement of old potatoes
to date is more than 22,000 cars in
excess of last year, but of new po
tatoes only 786 carloads had been
shipped by the middle of April com
pared to 2586 last year at the same
time. Potato prices advanced sharp
ly last year during late April and
May and some operators think the
same trend will be manifested this
year. The market was in better po
sition last week, except for increas
ing shipments. Some frost damage
to new potatoes is reported from
various sections.
DAIRY. Domestic dairy markets
were firm to higher last week, but
Copenhagen declined from 37.7c to
S6.2c due to increased European
production as southern hemisphere
supplies continue light Cold weath
er assisted in keeping production In
line with consumption and delayed
the seasonal increase.
POULTRY. Case eggs in storage
in the United States on April 1 were
reported as 1,082,000 cases against
1,868,000 cases a year earlier. Can
adian egg holdings on April 1 were
330,608 dozen compared to 585,069
dozen a year earlier. Canadian tur
keys in storage were 1,181,736
pounds against 1,153,398 pounds a
year ago.
LIVESTOCK. Medium weight
hogs passed the $10.00 mark at Chi
cago lsat week for the first time
since November and there was un
usual activity in the hog trade in
Chicago. There was not much net
change in cattle and sheep, although
heavy steers went at the lowest
prices of the season while light
weights were firmer in Chicago. To
tal shipments of cattle in March
were about 15 per cent below last
year and the five-year average; hogs
28.7 more than last year and 15.9
above average, and sheep and
lambs, 1.9 less than last year but
4.1 above average.
WOOL AND MOHAIR.-The wool
and mohair markets were very firm
again last week. There is still a
wide differential between foreign
wool values and domestic prices
which is limiting imports. Consump
tion is above last year and stocks
much lower. Practically all of the
Texas mohair crop is reported out
of growers' hands.
FRUITS.-Frost damage to straw
berries reproted. Some damage to
fruits from frost is reported. Col
orado peaches and pears were dam
aged. Midwestern strawberries
were rather seriously hurt and
some damage was done in Arkan
sas, Missouri and Oklahoma,
VEGETABLES. Four second
early lettuce shipping states will
produce 7,300,000 crates this year as
compared to 4,500,000 crates last
year according to estimates. Most
of this lettuce is in Arizona and
California. Tomato plantings in,
most spring shipping states is in
creased over last year.

TBE PASSING OP AN INTERNA
TIONAL CHARACTER.
By RBV. THOMAS J. BRADY.
The journals of the country announc
ed last Tuesday the death of the Rev
erend Father Joseph Mary Cataldo, S.
J., a priest of phenomenal character
istics and actions. The Scriptuers re
fer to the age of those who have passed
three score and ten years and bids them
return to their fathers in comfort and
blessed hope. But in the career of this
great man. featured herein, we see a
life that stretches out for ninety-two
years and over, and haloed with
achievements that fairly astound in
their brilliancy. It is to be regretted
that his passing did not evoke a deep
er and broader study of this great man,
citizen, edjeaior, missionary and priwt
a more generous comment, all of which
only too well merited. Oregon should
have gladly chronicled to a debtor
world its commensurate tribute of grat
itude. Perhaps, though, the natural
modesty and simplicity of this great
priest and citizen forbade a more glow
ing tribute to his memory enshrined
as it deserves to be among the thous
ands of his beneficiaries in this great
Northwest.
Father Cataldo was born in Italy and
became a Jesuit Driest. After ordina
tion he ieft his native country for the
inaian missions oi worm America, ana
his deeds as a missionary among the
many tribes of the great Northwest
read with all the interest and fervor
of a romance. No doubt as the years
roll along his fame and claim for rec
ognition, will brighter grow. Several
times as a "Black Robe" among the
warlike tribes of the Dakotas and the
Wyoming Indians, he was asked official
ly by the United States Government to
hear the case of the Indians and to re
port thereon. What full military pow
er of the Government could never do,
this simple priest, in the simplicity and
the spirit of the Master effected with
ease and with no other means than the
natural goodness and proven love for
the Red Men of the American forest.
War with the Indians was several times
averted through the presence of this
simple, foreign-born priest, who enter
ed into his missionary activities with a
devotion and a perseverance that stand
unrivalled in the annals of the country.
Father Cataldo recalls De Smet, Mar
quette and Jogues with striking paral
lels. This humble and aonarentlv lowlv
follower and exemplar of the Prince of
feace, aid not content nimsell with ac
cepting life among these roving tribes,
but he became all things unto them that
he might gain all. He entered into
their system and method of living, stud
ied their different languages and dia
lects, and sought at all times to grasp
the Indian's point of view, and through
out the scores of tribes that he met as
a missionary his name was a fireside
word, and never uttered but in bene
diction. Thousands of Indians In the
Northwest are today bowed in grief in
the sad passing of their friend and
iainer: 'atner cataldo always re
ferred to the Indians as his "dear In
dians."
Father Cataldo labored to have his
work among the Indians live, and for
that purpose he translated the New
Testament into Indian, and the last
work by him was a "Life of Christ"
written also in Indian.
Nor was this good Driest's work con
fined to the spiritual and social uplift

with wonderful conviction. The writer
in conversation with a party recently
heard this party make the remark, "Fa
ther Cataldo was long ago ripe for
eternity's shores and sunshine." That
brief expression says a bookful of
truth.
For the last twentv-five vears of Fa
ther Cataldo's life, he never slept in a
bed; his frail physical form seemed a
nest of thorns that pricked and goaded
his flesh unremittingly. Though sulfer

he was never heard to complain. It
could bo said of him what lias been bo
beautifully said of Christ: "He was a
man of sorrow." Some few years prior
to hie death, he broke his legs and was
compelled to use crutches. He passed
away on Easter Monday in the after
noon, after having received the last
rites of the Church that he had served
so faithfully and unselfishly. Like a
candle that burns Itself away, he peace
fully slept in the Lord. What has been
so well said of another national char
acter may with additional truth be ap
plied to this sleeping priest and Knight
errant of the American forest and plain:
"He died in battle, leaving no stain
upon his name,
Proudly raising his head to heaven
from the deathbed of Fame."
