Hood Kiver Joseph Steinhardt of tha commission firm of Steinhardt & Kelly, the New York firm that bought tha output of the Hood River Appl growers union last year, haa set the apple buying ball rolling by again pur hcasing the entire crop handled by the union at a gross figure that will total over IIhO.000. According to Mr. Steinhardt and the officers of the union, the announcement of the sile will cause a quick acramble for box fruit in other Northwest sec tion., as they have been waiting for the signal from Huod River in order to get a line on price. The ala include the purchase of 60,000 to 70.000 boxes of fancy fruit or about lib cars, and It la claimed that it will be the biggest deal made this year by one firm. The fruit ia to be especially packed for Steinhardt and Kelly and will be labeled with a new label iu-t adopted by the union and an effort will be made to send one large hipment in a solid train of refrigera tor car to New York. Grand Ronde's Greatest Crop. La Grande Heavy rains throughout Union county have greatly delayed threshine. but it ia estimated that most of the work will be finished with in the next two weeks, although there will be a amatl amount that will not be finished in the next 80 days. The yield in Union county is estimated to run over the l.OuO.000 bushel mark. This will be the largest amount of wheat ever grown in the Grand Konde valley. The farmers aro not so Inclined as they were at first to hold onto their wheat until it reaches the dollar mar and are letting the wheat go in small amounts every day. The price ranges around 80 cents for bluestem, 79 for 40 fold ard 77 for club. Would Hurry Allotments. Klamath Falls Complaint la made of unnecessary delay in allotment of the Klamath Indian reiervation. lhe matter 1 in the hands of Rev. H. F. White, who began the task two years ago. At that lime it was snnounceu that it would require not more than six months to do the work. When the Indians have received their landa there will be left over about 200.000 acres of fertile farming land, stock range and timbered tracts. If these lands are opened for settlement it will mean an enormous Influx of people into the Klamath country and will greatly In crease the resource of this section. Prune Association Formed. RiuuibuM Prune growers of Myrtle Creek have met and formed an associa tion for the sale of their crop. They also elected a committee to receive of fers and do the selling for the pooh They have issued an invitation to all growers to join me pooi. ineiruu will all be sold together, and whoever buys the pool gets all the fruit The growers have agreed to dry the prunes in a good marketable condition and ex pect good prices.

UMATILLA WHEAT CROP. Flood of Qold Follows tha Harvest In Prosperous Grain Center. Pendleton, Tbe lure of $3,000,000 In bright gold pieces, without taint or reserve, sends thrill through tbe peo ple of Umatilla county, at this sesson of the year that cannot be appreciated by any one who as not felt the cbarm of the grain fields when each golden head node to the thrifty farmer its readiness to be converted into gold for his purse as reward for hia efforts dur ing tbe 12 months closing with the gathering in of the abeaves. The call of tbe grain fields has been beard, tbe tremendous task of saving the harvest has been performed, the marketing of the grain is the duty wbicb calls forth the best judgment and tact of the farm er, in this county, where to raise grain successfully rand largely ia the ambi tion of every owner of land. Umatilla county farmers have Just finished barveating a crop of grain that will place fully $3,00u.000 in their purses. The crop will net about as much money as any produced in the county, inasmuch as the price to be re ceived will be much bigher than was taken for the "bumper" crop of 1907, when Umatilla eounty produced more than 1 per cent of all the wheat grown in the United States, Umatilla coun ty ia easily the grain center of Oregon, producing practically one third of all the state. There was a time when Umatilla county "took off its hat" metaphorically speaking, to the Wil lametta valley in the growing of grain, but that day haa long since passed into history. Milton Growers Ship Apples. Milton W. E. Gibson, of the Sibaon Fruit company, of Chicago, is in Mil ton shipping about 100 carload, of prune, bought from the Milton Fruit growers' union. The price being paid ia $32 per ton. Last year tbe crop was sold for $ IS per ton. A large force of packers haa been employed in the sheds for two weeks and a larger force of pickers haa been engaged in gathering the fruit' The orchards owned by C. L. Stewart C. W. Ray and John M. Brown, near Crockett, are good illustrations of tbe prune indus try here. . Rich Strike at Gold Hill. Gold Hill In tha Gray tagle mine development haa opened the mine 70 feet below the first tunnel and struck a body of ore which shows values from $6 to over $300 per ton. A tan stamp mill is now on the way to the property, the mill having been started after the ma n stockholders and diretors had ex amined the ground carefully. In the workinga a 13 foot vein baa been found so far and still tbe foot wall has not been reached. Crop Proapects Good. Klamath Falls Recent rain through out the entire Klamath country have put the fall range in good condition and stock is doing well. The moisture did some damage to the hay crop on the ground, but the loss is slight Grain was not injured, but harvesting will be a few days late on account of the rains. Tbe grain yield will be ex ceptionally good. PORTLAND MARKETS.
