The past week hag been a quiet one in the local wheat market. The sensational charges of O. II. Whiteman against the buyers of the Northwest was the only item of more than ordinary interest, and it served only to arouse passing notice. Whiteman alleged that grain buyeis of the Northwest deliberately bear the wheat market with stories of bis crops, when as a matter of fact, ha says, crops this year in the North west are far below the average. He demands punishment for those dealers who are deliberately forcing the market below its real level. Little attention was paid to White- man's charges for two reasons. Fitst, it cannot beD rcved that the dealers are deliberately iorcing down tbe market. And second, there are few who think this year's crop will be below normal, Prices are better than usual at this time of year, and it is generally considered that the crop is a shade above the averaee. Wheat trading has been dull all week. Few sales of any size are recorded ard there is little grain offored at current prices, based on 80 cents net for club. The main reason for this inactivity is tbe reaction from the big buying of last week, i when nearly a million Dusnels were gobbled up by buyers unknown to the farmers, and without bulilng the market a fraction of a cent. After seeing the great amount bought tip in this manner, the farmers have become extremely cautious, and are holding their grain for higher bids. Threshing in this valley Is practi cally completed, or will be by the end of the month. Another week will see almost all the grain in this part of the country well under shelter, nd a great share of it in the ware houses. Machines are daily coming in, having completed their run. and tbe end of harvest is well within sight. Should the coming week pass with out any change in atmosnherie con ditions an unique record of a barvest without a drop of rain, will have been established. The last rain fell June lb. Since that time there has been nothing more than a few clouds As a result, harvest has been shorter than usual, and the farmers say grain is in better condition now than at a corresponding period in any year they can remember. . The many machines and the short straw have also con tributed towards shortening the har vest. Yields still hold CP well, and i record of 65 bushels to the acre, the grain testing 61 pounds to the bushel. was established this week. Alto getber, yiell and prices considered, this has been a most satisfactory year to the majority of the farmers. Increased Rates. Chicago. Increased railroad rates west of Ohicaeo that will add manv millions to the revenues of the rail roads at the expense of the consum ing public in western states but with favors to Chicago, this is the program said to be accented bv the controll ing factors of the shippers' committee which is ostensibly fighting the rate increase. By agreement which will benefit rates to Chicago but add to the cost of goods distributed from Chicago the great demonstration against the railroad rate advance has been quietly hushed up, this is accepted now as the situation. West ern jobbing and shipping interests seem likely to find their guns spiked when they are lead for battle. When the Chicago Association of Commerce took over the traffic club it was agreed that the control of railroad traffic affairs of the association should be retained by certain large importing and merchandising: interests which had maintained the Traffic club before. Therefore when the shippers declared war on the rate advance and joined forces with the Chicago forces the control of the whole situation by railroad influences became possible. Presently the loud enterics against trade advances were huBhed and now the outcome is thought to be so well arranged that railroad securities have risen in New York and Chicago markets and cheerful optimism pre vails in the councils of railway presi dents. President E. P. Ripley was written letters urging that the name of John v. Farwell. jr. , chairman of the traffic committee of the Associa tion of Commerce be recommended to President Taft as a proper representa tive of shipping interests on the court of commeroe. Pictures Talk Now. Orange. N. I., Aug. With his kinetopnone. Thomas A. Edison de monstrated tonight that he has ac hieved success in making a moving Picture talk. A limited number of scientific men and newspaper reporters were at the initial exhibition and while only a very short film with voice reproduc tion attachment was shown, all present realized that Ediscn has ac complished another great achieve ment. After a realistic demonstration Edison announced that it wouli not be long before Teddy wai over here making his great speeches into the new machine. Another advantage will be to have great operas repro duced by kinetoDhone. Edison planned the most aDproDriate fiim for the exhibition. The scene on the screen was a re production of a stage in a theater. On this appeared a tyoical lecturer who explained that the kinetcphone had I been perfected only after it was fonnd possible to operate a phono- graohand klnetogcooe simultaneously. To illustrate the possibilities of the new invention the eloquent lecturer the canvas dropped a wooden ball on the hard floor of the stage ard this produced a loud noise. From the canvas there also came a sound of an auto horn in the hands of the lecturer and tbere was also a loud crash when he dropped a dish. I saved from Awful Peril.

Milton, Or. , Ang. 27. The greatest fire ever known in this section broke out tonight at 7 o'clock burning to the ground the Peacock mill, two adjoining dwelling houses occupied by Alex Manela and E. Troyer, two warehouses filled with wheat, belong ing to the Farmers' Warehouse Com pany, containing nearly 100,000 bush els of wheat. The loss will be in the neighborhood of $150,000. The fire is still burning, but all danger of it spreading is over. The mill is valued at $75,000 and the in surance, though net positively known, is probably $80 ,000. The wheat in the warehouses is largely .owned by farmers who had stored it for lusher prices, and the amount of the insurance carried is unknown. Fortunately there was no wind, or the entire town of Free water, which is but a short distance away, would have burned to the ground. The Walla Walla fire department was telegraphed for, but failed to arrive in time to assist. An exDlosion, thonght to have occurred on the top floor of the mill, as the result of a hot box in the machinery, caused the fire. For a time the entire city was threatened, as no rain has fallen for more than two months anl tbe volun teer department was utterly unable to cope with the blaze. The Peacock mill was the largest in Northeastern Oregon and South eastern Washington. Albany. Or.. Aug. 27. Within sis months Linn County will have the largest commercial apple orchard in the world The Linnhaven Orchard Company of Albany has began active work preparing the ground for the planting of its immense orchard near Laoorob, and has comDleted definite plans to have 1000 acres planted before tbe end of next Marob. This will be the largest contiguous tract devoted to orchard purposes in the United States. Ultimately, it is planned, th Linnhaven orchard will include 2500 acres. The tract will not be operated as one orohard after the first five years, as the com pany expects to sell it in small parcels. Wilbur K. Newell, of Gaston. Or.. president of the State Board of Horti culture, will supervise, tbe planting and developing. Be has already gone over the entire tract, and has made preliminary plans for the preparation of the ground. A small crew has gone to work, and a large crew will be put to work. within a few days. The survey and platting are nearing completion. Practically all of the 3500 acres of this tract will be planted to aPDles. About 15 per cent will be utilized for pears. This immense tract lies in the north central part of Linn Couaty. Its southern part is three miles from the new station of Griggs on the recently-constructed Lebanon-Crabtree cutoff on the Woodburn-Natron branch of the Southern Pacific, and it extends northward to the town of Lacomb.
