Seventeen depots have now been erected along the Portland and Seattle Railway, or north bank line, and are ready for ose. Already the tracklaying on the new line into Portland has been completed as far down as oppoite Tbe Dalles, and in addition depots have been erected at all the stop ping points between rasco and The Dalles. The buildings have all been painted and will be ready or occupancy as soon as the line is openeil. The following ia the list of sta tions on the new line between Pas co and the present end of the line: Finlay, Hover, Yellepit, Tomar, Pottinger, Colbia, Plymouth, Gravel, Coolide, Patterson, Page, Luzonm,Carley, McCredie, Moonax and Roosevelt. It has already been announced by tbe Northern Pacific officials that grain hauling will commence on the north bank line some time in November. With the road now completed to The Dalles the wheat of the inland empire mav be taken down to the open river and there transferred to steamers for Port land. No passenger service will be established on the new line, it is said, until the roadway has been completed into Portland. Tha annual report of the North ern Pacific which has just been issued states that tracklaying will finished to Vancouver by the first of the year. The big bridges across the Columbia and Willamette rivers will bo finished by June of next year. Dallas Itemizer: The vicinity of Dallas is rapidly becoming the fruit center of the Willamette val ley. New orchards of every kind and vareity of fruit are constantly being set oat by persons who see the profitableness oLsuch a venture. It is a fact well known to all that we haveihe best orchard land in tbe state, and nearly all oar farm ers are beginning to see tbe ad vantages to accrue to them by the cutting up of their large farms in to smaller tracts.

Did the farmers grow too much wheat ia Morrow county this season? November is almost here and many farmers have not been able to thresh their crops. A few have not even headed their grain yet mi- l j . i. . j.ne Harvest is tne latest ever known it this county. The im- nense yields have brought unusual conditions. Labor has been un usually Bcarce Bnd with double tbe usual amount of harvest work and lack of machinery, the life of the farmer is strenuous. The Baving of the entire crop all remains witn the weather con ditions. A large amount of wheat is be ing hauled to market. Ihe unusual amount of harvest work is greatly retarding fall seeding. METSCHAIN-.TIATLOCK. Otto W. Metschan, son of ex State Treasurer Phil Metschan, and clerk at the Imepnal hotel, and Miss Norah E. Matlock, of Heppner, were married at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Trinity chapel. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. A. Mor rison, D. D., of Tiinity Episcopal church, in the presence of a small party of intimate friends of the contracting parties. Mr. snd Mrs. Metscnan left last night for a short visit to the Sound cities and on their return will make their home temporarily with the groom's broth er, Dr. R L. Metschan, on the East Side. Oregonian, October 17. Miss Matlock is the daughtei of T. J. Matlock, of Heppner and is a handsome and charming young lady with many friends. Mr. Metschan is also well known in this city. He was formerly! associated with his brother, Phil Metschan, Jr., in the Palace hotel. Plans are being perfected where by a practical effort will be made within a short time to bore for oil and gas where indications point for such an attempt about Astoria and on the west side, says the Budget. SHOWERS WILL HELP RANGES lmmago to turmerw and Welcomed by Stockmen. The rain storm of Tuesday was a good one and the ground was well saturated with much needed moisture. A pleasing feature is the fact that when it got through it quit, and yesterday morning dawned bright and fair. Taking it all around the weather clerk has been partial to the farmers this fall to allow them a long and dry season to harvest their crops. This is the first rain this fall since the latter part of August and the formers haye been making good use of the favorable harvest weather. The rain only lasted one day and the wheat crop not yet harvested has not been damaged. With the stockmen, it is just what they wanted. RaDges were very dry aud grass was getting short owing to the long dry spell. The moisture will start the grass and will be of great benefit to the stock industry. OPEMISG IXL.AMD E.HP1RI. O. R. IM. to Complete Linee January 1. Constantly extending its lines into new and rich sections of the great Inland Empire, the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company will add a large mileage to its system by the first of the year. Three separate extensions, the longest of which is 71, miles, will be practically completed within the next two months. Erickson & Petterson, contractors who are building the Riparia-Lewis-ton line for the O. R. & N., have almost completed it. Only a little work on the Lewiston end of tbe road remains to be done, and Gen eral Manager O'Brien says trains will be running into Lewiston by December. This extension has been over a year in building. When completed it will bring a large and rich grain territory into direct communication with Port land. The Wallowa extension of the 0. R. & N. from Elgin northeast up the Grand Ronde River to the month of the Wallowa River, and thence southeast to Joseph, a total distance of 61 miles, is well along. Track has been laid to tbe mouth of the Wallowa and about 90 per cent of the balance of the grading has been completed. Tbe re mainder of the work depends large ly upon the weather during the next few months. As the road now under construction is well up in the mountains, snow and rain will delay the work great y. It may be that during the winter months construction crews will be laid off for a time. At any rate, if this ex tension is not completed by January 1, it should be in operation early next year. The Umatilla Central, an O. R. tfc N. feeder from Pendleton to Pilot Rook, a distance of 14.5 miles, which is being built by the Pacific Coast Construction Company, is well along and is two-thirds com pleted. It will be in operation within a month. E. M. Shutt has for rent 400 acres of wheat stubble pasture on his ranch bordering on Rhea creek, sis miles west of Lexington. Cut by combine harvester. Lots of water. 2t NO. llfH BUSINESS HOUSES CHANGE HANDS ew llrim in Several Ol Time piacee Business changes have been active in Heppner of late.

Chicago, Oct. 28. A dispatch to the Tribune from tVashington says: Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said last night that the farmers will get more money for their crops this year than they got for those of last year. The total value of all farm products in 1906 was $6,794, 000,000. This enormous sum not only will mean that there will be no hard times for the country, bat that the prosperity which bos blessed it for a dozen years will continue. Secretary Wilson is unable to see any danger in the financial eitna tion, believing it is entirely con fined to the speculative element ia New York, and heisconSdent that the next few weeks will show that the farm and not Wall street ia the real barometer of our financial welfare. Secretary Wilson's confidence that the total wealth produced this year from farm products will bo greater than that of last year i based partly upon the fact that there is a scarcity of wheat and other crops abroad and this boa contributed to the increase of prices. Crops at home will not be as large probably as those of 1906, except cotton. A9 Secretary Wil son said, everybody knows tha price of meat has gone up, white the output of the packinghouse products has increased. Beaverton Correspondence ol Hillsboro Independent: A1Z wien er raised some corn this year as good as any grown ia Illinois. Large corn, deep kernels, well ripened and firm.
