Bogus friend of the farmer and Wall Street fraud exposed
The General Merchants' Review accuses Sears Roebuck and Co. of duplicity in a bid to form a massive trust. It claims the retailer pretends to aid farmers while funneling profits to Wall Street, detailing a $46,000,000 merger plan and a $40,000,000 trust issue with 7 percent preferred stock, benefiting insiders.

Sherman County Farmers Forming Mutual Advance Group
Sherman county farmers plan to imitate Umatilla growers by forming a mutual advancement association. George N. Crosafield of Wasco, returning from eastern Oregon, urges swift organization. He visited Union county and Spokane where a similar Inland Empire Wheat Growers Association operates, with a $1,000,000 annual pool and a 2 cent per bushel dividend. Sherman county yields about 2 million bushels annually, second in the state to Umatilla. The piece notes a proposed jute plant at the Oregon penitentiary to manufacture grain and wool sacks and mentions Kennedy’s Laxative Honey and Tar. It concludes with a note on the American Sunday School Union, established in 1824, organizing thousands of new schools and workers yearly.
