The Chicago wheat market yester day got well over the dollar line for the cash article as well as the Decem ber and May options. This brings prices up several cents higher tluyn at a corresponding period Inst year, with an excellent propped for continuation of the same figures or po.isltyy higher oiipj foe th " u. ttiv mrunoii As the government figures places the total 190S wheat crop at 6C7. 000.000 bushels, or 32,000,000 buahels larger than that of Inst yenr, the effect of the present prices on the general trade Situation will prove highly beneficial Corn is sharing in the" strensth of wheat, and sold yesterday in the Chi cago market at 10 cents per bushel auove inKr soeson a figures at a cor responding date. As a wealth pro ducer..the coarser grain Is oven more important twin wheat, for the crop is estimated at 2,595,000,000 bushel and the price yesterday was 67 cents per bushel. While neither of these cr6ps Is U record breaker for size, both are so far fltinv'A fhd ta - twin avi-ititr, unJ the price is so much higher than the average for the past 20 years, that returns for the two crops will. break all records. As the high prices which are now quoted in Chicago are but a reflection of the Kuronean strength, dependence of the foreigners on this country for bread supplies will Insure ti agnlimt any decline of consequence before another crop Is available next year. Our shipments to other coun tries are now averaging about 5.000 000 bushels per week. Including flour and, as the average at tidewater will be smothlng more than U per bushel. It Is clear that wheat alone Is bullillnij tip a trade balance abroad which may later prove a very comforting as-t. With the marketing abroad of the surplus of this enormous grain crop and a bis' cotton crop, this balance may assume proportions that will have an Important bearing on money r.tef abroad. So long as the American money market l as well supplied with cheap money as It Is at this time,' there will be no great Incentive to brlns home tho pay for this big surplus of farm products which we are selling to the foreigner, and It Is nut at all lm probable that many millions will be' IxTir.ltted to ntaml to our credit nbroiitl until there Is greater need of U nt home than there Is at the present time. The pr:ili crop of the Parllfc north West, while ruhklng well up with the average for th past 10 yens, much snmlW than th.H of hint yenr, but growers havu been favored wt;h abnormally. cheap ocean freights. This pleslnr feature, with a strong market abroad, will result In nu re turn to the 'farmer not very much beMw thn.-e of lust year's r-eonl. breaking crop. Ald from tliee heap freights and. high prlc. the Oregon nml Wnshlncton furm-r are better off propjtrllonutrly than tho. east of the Rot ky mountain, for the present fiilrly K"od erop I fo!lciing a rerord-hreaker wlileh left the grow. r In bad snap financially, while the rntlre country t aut of the r.orky moun tains lat year had a Very poor wheat crop.

While looking over the file of the la Orande tlusette, published lit till city for ninny yenr, we happened to open on Ropteiuhrr 17. lRt, nnd hlle glaiulng fiver Its columns we could not help but pnuse and note the change that time makes in evry community. In looking over the d- t real estate business, as was also J.' K. Romig. - Alonzo Cleaver was reglaterj of the land office. G. Pennel was cashier of the La Grande National bank. J. W. Scriber waa then, as now, cashier of the Farmers & Trad ers National bank. A. C. Huntine- ton was selling pianos and organs. Mitchell & Lewis had a branch im plement house here. James Argyle was proprietor of the Portland Tres taurant. William Gaunt wag In the nursery business. Porepaugb's circus was Dined lor the next day. Scott & Fisher were dealing In cigars. The water commission had Just1 been ap pointed, consisting of Senator J. H Slater, J. E.- Foley and Frank Gra ham. La Grande in those days played some ball, standing at the head of the list with a percentage of 687, Pendle ton and Walla Walla a tie with 562, and Baker City with only 187. Stew ard's opera house was Just completed. and was going to open during the coming fair week. McCuIly & Gilbert were in the grocery business, and the advertisement of HcKennon Bros., also appears. Henry W'lldy carried a general. line of groceries, boots and shoes. The contract" for the building of the Foley house, to John Dally, had Just been consummated '- '- ' - ,' TOO NKAR REER. Action of the city council at Monda; night's meeting In passing an ordi nance prohibiting the a!e of near beer In the. city, came as a surprise to the half dozen cigar stores which have ueuii oiHijensing , tne peverago to a thirsty puWIe. Following the action of the council and publication of the ordinance in Tuesday's issue of the Register, all plucos from which the beverage was sold, stopped the scliln- and everybody was on the water wag on during the day. Roseburg brewery, which has been supplying the near product, was noti fied of the council's action and a rep resentative of the firm will come her to test the. validity of the ordinance It would seem, however, that the cltv has absolute Jurisdiction In the matter of permitting the sale of malt liquors.. In which case the council's action I very likely to be sustained, unless th city charter can be successfully at tacked on that point. The presumption Is that the pro duct Is too nonr beer In fact, some claim It Is a distinction In name with out a difference In hrw Wn .-. Register. Every new dry territory has to go through the bootlegging period. It requires several Jail sentences to make a certain lot of people have any re spect for the law. Union county seems to be no exception, but public sentiment Is pronounced In this city and county in favor of putting a stop to the violations of the local option law and It will be stopped, not, how ever, until possibly several serve time In Jail.
