County on the Day of Ileal Harvest
ing Rumors Were Unfounded,
Imbler, July 7. (Special.) Haed
ers are at work harvesting a full crop
of fall wheat and a crop of oats that
Is on the average. - ',
- The Sam Brooks header will start
tomorrow morning, but many are to
ba seen today. The Gaines machinery
Is In full blast today. . Though there
have been many cries of short crops.
It must be admitted now that the
grain has started to fall ' before the
reaper, that the Imbler section of the
valley Is but a trifle behind the rec
ords of other years; It is the general
opinion that the fall wheat will aver
aft a good crop. Oats' Is' a trifle
short, but even that Is on a paying
basis. .
Thus, from all parts of the vulley
come similar reports. Admittedly, It
Is too early to ascertain positively what
the crop result will be, as the men who
really know are those who spent the
day In the field harvesting and they,
of course, could not be communicated
with during the hours of labor, jit Is
no Idle, Jest or assertion to say that
the crops this year In Union county
will be up to the average. In a few
days exact conditions can be ascertained.

Mr. Taft's speech of acceptance will
contain about J500 words, and In It he
will touch upon all the Issues In the
republican platform.
Of all tha planks Irothe platform,
that relating to ln'junc-tlnns will re
ceive greatest attention. In as much
as criticism from demorratlo sources
has been made on his record while on
the bench, and the two parties having
adopted planks on that subject Mr.
Tsft, It Is said, will declare his posi
tion on this Important question In
forceful and unmistakable terms.
Mr. Taft will assert his Independ
ence by Including In his speech of ac
ceptance a personal plank on public
ity of campaign contributions,' ft prop
osition which stumped ft republican
congress and which was Ignored as an
Issua by tha Chicago convention.
In doing this Mr. Tsft will also ac
cept the Bryan challenge to make pub
licity one of tha leading Issues In the
coming fight, and when his speech of
acceptance has been delivered there
will ba no doubt In Mr. Bryan's mind
or In anybody else's how Mr. Taft
stands on this question. .
Mr. Tsft, It Is understood, Is a little
hot over the charge In the democratic
platform that the republicans Intend
to conduct tha present campaign with
"vast sums of money wrested from the
favor-seeking corporations," and he Is makes her trip with Mr. Tailed his
