OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
WHEAT LAND RENT HIGH.
10 an Acre for Summer Fallow Crop
Oblainsd at Athena, Oregon.
Pendleton - Word has been received
that Mr. iHibella Taylor ha rented
her wheat farm near the town of Athe
na in the northeastern part of the coun
ty fur a cash rental of f 10 per acre per
summer fallow crop. The lease on
then term I to cover a term of six
year. Thi Is one of the best wheat
reining section of the county and even
of the Northwest, and while thi price
seems to presume a great deal in favor
of the continued productivity of the
land, the record of the past years
prove that it ia a good investment even
at thi seemingly over boosted price.
The investors of thi section aeem to
have faith in the recent prediction of
James J. Hill that we are not increaa
ing our production of wheat aa fast aa
the population is growl rg and that
price must continue to advance. It i
from near this section that there was a
reported advance sale of wheat at a
dollar a bushel, which is a record price
for tha Northwest
BENSON APPROVES BILLS.
Signi All Except the Duck Measure,
Which He Files.
Salem -Governor Kenson haa ap
proved and signed all the bill pasiod
at the ipecial session of the legisla
ture.except the duck bill, which he baa
filed in the office of the aecretary of
state without aignature.
The reason for hia failure to ign
thi bill I not given by the governor,
but it i thought possible the measure
came too near the taboo line of new
legiilalion and the executive did not
care to give the measure hia specific
approval.
Speaker McArthur state that he haa
carefully gone over every bill, and
President Uowerman did the same, and
that there is no possibility of mistake
thi tune.

8trik Tie Up French Capital and
Food Becoming Scarce.
Pari. March 19. Mi-Careme, the
middle of Lent, usually celebrated with
grotesque procession throughout
France, and with particular gayety in
Pari, found the capital today in a
state of virtual siege.
Because of the postal strike no mail
deliveries were made, banks held up
payments on checks because of their
inability to receive advice from their
correspondents, stamps were- not on
sale, telegrams were refused accept
ance, and the pricea of provisions were
soaring, while eggs, milk, butter and
other country produce were painfully
scarce. .
Over a million letter are stacked in
tha Dostoflice awaitinir sortine and dis
patch, as the postal employes in the
other branchea besides the telegraph
service have gone on sympathetic
atrike. The laat American mans nave
not yet been removed from their sacks,
and practically no letters have left the
country.
Three thousand telegram are piled
on the dispatching hooks, awaiting
transmission, aa the military telegraph
era pressed into service, are unfamiali
ar with tbe postal instruments, and
cannot use them. Tbe government haa
threatened to cail upon the army to
furnish men to deliver the mail, but as
yet haa not taken this step. Business
a at a standstill, and conditions are
grave in all lines that depend upon the
postal activity for weir aauy continu
ance.

American Mining congress, today issu
ed a call for a meeting of operators to
be held in Salt Lake City next Monday.
