TBS WHEAT YIELD.
State report and other credible
aulho'ities chow that the winter wbea
real, m whole, are not likely to
give mora than an average yield; and
the spring wheat region will produce
below the average. The indications
are for an aggregate out-turn of about
480,000,000 bushel, being some 132,-
000.000 leat than tbe reported product
of 1891, and abowing likewise that the
exportable surplus from the crop of
1892, will be about 140,000,000 leas
than the crop of 1891, a domeatio re
quirement have increased fully 8,-
000,000 since last year.
Abroad, the situation present as
great a change from that of 1891 as
is shown in America, India ha
crop about 60,000,000 below that of
last year; South America and Aus
tralia together, crops that do not differ
.. materially but are rather below than
above those of laMl, while the crops
of Asia Minor, Northern Africa, Greece
and Bulgaria are decidedly inferior to
those of last year. The harvests also
of Italy, Hungary, Spain and Portu
gal are from 10 to 15 per cent, below
the product gathered in 189L -
The wheat area in Great Britain is
o much less than last year that the
product will be from 8,000,000 to 10,
000,000 bushels less. In Scandiuavia
tbe temperature has been so very low
and rains so excessive as to cause grave
fears as to the ripening of all the cer
eals ; while, on the other hand, drought
, and unequal distribution of the rain
fall have brought crop failure over
wide Russian areas, tbe indication be
ing that wheat and rye will both be
below the average, although from 5 to
10 per cent, better than last year.
There is still great uncertainty about
the Bussian crops, the utterances of
various officials not being in accord ;
not yet do they agree with those from
commercial sources. Yet all admit
: that although the harvest may be
somewhat better than last year, it can
not be an average one, and such seems
to be the case also as regards the crop
of Boumania.
While America has the promise of
about an average wheat harvest, all
European crop indicate yields below
the average. It is true that there are
areas where tbe product will exceed
that of last year; notably in France
and Belgium, where the increase is
likely to exceed tbe diminution of 60,-
000,000 bushel in the crop of India ;
while the increase in the product of
Bussian wheat fields may equal in the
decrease in the product of Great Brit
ain and Italy. But where can be
found an increase that will equal the
difference in the yield of the Ameri
can fields? ;
this county aooum, by all means,
make an exhibit of its fruits, timber
and grasses at the comiog Portland
Exposition ; and also endeavor to have
it transferred from Portland to the
world's fair at Chicago with the other
Oregon product that will be aent
there. Daring the coming exposition
Portland will be visited by thousands
of Eastern people, both North and
South, who do not come for the sole
purpose of seeing the large cities of
the state but they want to aee the
product of the soil as well; that they
may be able to judge the state's future
thereby. While the exposition is in
progress tbe Sovereign Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellow meets in Portland and
a special day baa been set aside by
Superintendent Mitchell a Odd Fel
lows day, when all the delegate will
be present in a body. These delegates
come from all part of tbe United
States and Canada, and are here for
tbe purpose of seeing the country as
well as doing lodge duty, and number
several thousand strong. . For this
reason a display would be far more
reaching this year than any previous
one, and that the result would be sat
isfactory do one will dispute.
"Talk about foreign markets!" ex
claimed the president of one of tbe
largest manufacturers of ailverplated
ware in the country. "I would rather
have the state of New York for a
market for our goods than the whole
continent of Europe. We are protec
tionists, not so much on account of
benefits derived by our business di
rectly from the tariff, but because we
appreciate the -superior purchasing
power of the American people over
that of Europeans, and we know that
that superiority is due primarily
to protection. We want American
workers to receive high wages so that
they can afford to buy our goods."
SonoftheClatakanie people have
set on foot a very commendable work
in organizing a World's Fair Club, the
object being to place before the world,
at Chicago, the products of Columbia
county. This, indeed, is a step in the
right direction, and should receive the
encouragement and assistence of every
good citizen in the county. ' -
Th managers of the world's fair
have done a timely act by having the
Chicago hotel men sign a contract to
not raise their rates during the fair.
W. H. Powell was in town early Sat
urday morning on his way up the
Clatrkani. He was in town again
Inter in tbe day, and there seemed to
be a lady in the buggy with him
headed for tbe Mitt alliance meeting
On Monday morning Mr. V. bad an
other errand up the Clatskauie, and io
returning to town (alone, fortunately,)
his horse got to kicking, demoralising
the driver and couveyauce pretty
badly. The cart showed the most in
jury, but Powell thought he felt the
worst after being tossed overboard. A
buggy ride in good company has many
attraction, but some drawbacks at
will.
Misses Gilbert and Wheeler return
ed from Portland last Friday on their
way to Mist, They bad considerable
trouble in getting Means of convey'
ance that evening, but secured horses
and went to "take iu" the camp meet
ing.
Bev. F. J. Brown preached his clos
ing sermou last Sabbath evening be
fore leaving thia circuit to renew his
college course at the Portland Uni
versity. His labors here as pastor
huve made him many friends who
would be glad to have him remain. It
is expected that the M. E. conference,
in session in East Portland this week,
will select a successor for the coming
conference year.
Another raft of piling timber went
out the first of the week. Mr. Bortli
wick has had an energetic crew at
work during the summer and got out
a large number of these timbers tor use
tlong the Columbia river.
Mr. and Mrs. D. D. McClnre, Mr. B.
B. Beidford, Misses A. L. and Millie
Niedt, of Portland, were visitors last
week, spending a few days with their
friend, McPhail, who was showing
them some of the charms of this rain
iatu re metropolis.
Some much needed work has been
done on the town end of the couutj
bridge crossing the ClaUkanie, the
worn plank having been replaced by
new ones.
Another valuable improvement is
going on near the China house in con
structing a bridge to cross tbe ditch
that empties into the river there. It
is being done by subscription at the
expense of a comparatively few people
who prefer the convenience of crossing
there to the inconvenience and addi
tional distance required to follow the
county survey. The road from Marsh
land ought to enter town by this route.
The cornet band looked quite at
tractive in their uniforms, carrying
their polished horns, as they started
out for Mist ou Friday morning. The
band wagon was not heavily gilded,
but answered the purpose,
A child about 5 months old of Mr.
and Mrs. Morris Franklin, living out
near the site of the old Hirupel mill,
died last Thursday of congestion of the
lungs, and was buried on Friday after
noon in the village cemetery.
Tbe alliance campmeeting at Mipt
drew together a considerable number
of families who spent two or three days
in tents or such accommodations as
they could secure for themselves. Our
4own contributed quite a number,
whose absence made it seem quiet
here. The alliance is generally said
to be non-partisan, but the number of
"Weaver and Field" badges worn,
made tbe camping place look like a
third party rally. Third partly cam
paigners, Waldrop and Mrs. Hobart
were tbe principal speakers, with lesser
lights to declare, "them's my senti
ments, tool" Between speaking, sing
ing, dancing and promenading, all
seemed to find something suited to
their taste, nnless it was accommoda
tions, which were crowded and a little
close for some of the visitors. Good
nature generally prevailed, and those
who endorsed the sentiments of tbe
speakers declare they had a good time,
while others tried to make the best of it.
The Waldrop family of four children
constituting part ot the attraction at
Mist, gave an elocutionary and music
al entertainment on their return on
Monday evening; at Conyers' hall.
Quite a large audience greeted the
children and were very pleasantly en
tertained, as they possess marked elo
cutionary and musical ability.
Mr. and Mrs. Z. Bryant left this
week for a visit to the valley, and the
young ladies, Misses Fannie, Abbie
and Maud return to- Centralis, Wash!,
to resume their school duties in tbe
near future at that place.
On Tuesday evening another enter
tainment for school benefit took place
at Conyers' hall. After some music
by the orchestra, four little ladies gave
a dialogue, short but spicy. A cornet
solo, by Mr. Shourds, was very well
rendered, and the feature of the even
ing, tbe broom drill by twelve young
ladies, followed. The ladies were
dressed In uniform with their brooms
decorated for th occasion, and their
movements iu marching and counter
marching were brilliantly executed.
Their soldierly appearance and skill
ful handling of their (broom) guns
called out quite merited and sponta
sous applause. To say tbey did well
would be putting it quite mildly, i
deed. E. U. Blackford acted a cap-
taiu and did the drilling, while the
following ladies formed the marching
column: Nora Conyers, Multie Blood
flallitt Conyers, Fannie Bryant, Mattie
Dixon, Abbie Bryant, Jennie Myers
Axulie Conyers, Laura Nichols, Cora
Bryant, Cora Blackford, Louise Dop
After the drill of half an hour Mr. Mo-
Pbail sang a solo with splendid effect,
when the soldiers were recalled and
requested to repeat some of their move
menu, which was done. Alter more
musio the entertainment was changed
to preparations for the more general ex
ercises of a quadrille, whereupon some
of the audience retired to make room
for others, and dancing was indulged
in for a few hours. Tbe financial re
sults were not announced at the time
of this writing.
GILL.TOM.
The reaidence and barn belonging
to Mr. O. Bowman, situated about two
miles south of this place, was destroyed
by fire on Saturday night latt, sup
posed to be the work of an incendiary
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Duncan, of
Newberg, Yamhill county, were visit
ins their son and daughter, Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Duncan last week. M
Dundan's family were residents of this
place several years ago and their old
neighbors were glad to have them
back for a visit.
Our very accom modating postmaster
and store-keeper, Mr. J. S. Bacon
seems to be doing a rushiug business
these days.
Mr. Downing, our worthy black
smith, is kept busy shoeing horses and
repairing wagons for the wood haulers-
Mr. Thomas Holce, of this place, has
sold his farm and is preparing to move
to Lane county. We are sorry to lose
Mr. and Mrs. Holce, as neighbors and
friends they canuot well be replaced
But our loss will be Lane county'i
gain.
Miss Zoe Semple, Mr. Frank Hoyt
aud family, Mr. Harth and wife, Mr.
H. Larsen and family, Mr. T. Gruell
and family, Mrs. M. F. Hazen and Mr.
Scott Nann.left this place last Friday
to attend the alliance campmeeting at
Mist, and as they are rather slow in
(renin r borne we imagine they must
be having a good time.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brown, of Mil
ton, visited Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Beegle
this week.
Mrs. Henry Lamberson and daugh
ter, Addie, visited friends in this neigh
borhood last week.
Mr. Lafe Cooper and wife have be
gun housekeeping in Mr. J. A. Beetle's
house at this place.
Miss Maud Flagg returned from
Portland on Tuesday, where she bad
been visiting her aunt, Mrs. D. W
Richardson.
Tbe many friends of Dr. Blanchard
will be pleased to learn that be is rap
idly recovering from his recent illness,
Mr. B. Cox had tbe misfortune to
lose quite a lot of fence and some fruit
trees last week by fire. It seems that
some stumps were set on fire and it
spread getting into tbe stubble and
fence and caused considerable damage
before being gotten under way.
The literary society at this place is
becoming very interesting. The sub
ject for next Friday night, "Resolved
that tobacco is more expensive than
fashion ;" to be argued by four ot the
young ladies, promises to be a very in
teresting affair.
OorvallU Gets It All.
The state treasurer last week re
ceived from the United States govern
ment the sum of $18,000, which is ap
propriated under an act of congress
August 30, 1890, tor tbe benefit of col
leges of agriculture and mechanics,
The law provides that either the legis
lature or tbe governor shall designate
tbe college to receive the benefit, and
as tbe Oregon legislature was not in
session, Governor Fennoyer has given
it to the State Agricultural College at
Corvallis. Under the conditions Stats
Treasurer Melscban did not feel auth
onzed to place the draft in the state
treasury and receipt for it as there is
no way provided to take it out again
so be decided to pay it direct to the
college. A draft ot Sia.uuu was re
ceived by this state about two years
ago and a short time since the Wash
ington treasurer received $18,000 to be
used in the same manner.
