In the first grade of which -Miss Maud Kerns is teacher,the num ber of pupils is 63, of whom 46 have never been to school before. The congested condition of the "grade makes it impossible for the teacher to give the individual attention neces sary for beginners and about a dozen of the older students of the grade are to transferred to Miss Fullerton's grade. The school under Principal Holmes, is thoroughly . organized and is working effectively and .harmoniously, At the present they are taking all that is offered at advanced prices. It is this cause that makes the Pa cific Coast markets quote rela tively stiffer fieures Lthan are ob servable in Chicago and elsewhere. Of the extent of the shortage in Australia but little is . known. The crop there is not ready to harvest until late in Tanuaryor early in February. A feature of interest is that buyers from that country have a strong preference fur Ore gon over any other wheat. In this section, the advance comes too late to be of any mater ial benefit to the entire body of wheat growers. Most of them have already sold their wheat. The lack of prospect after harvest of an advance, caused a large number to sell at that time. . From then on until now, sales have continued until not more than one-fifth of the crop remains in the hands of the grower. The estimated wheat last accounts crop of the county is about 400,- 000 bushels this season. The The families of Morelock, Moore amount is somewnat less man last and Dell, who came out several year.

The chapel exercises at the colle ge yesterday morning were conducted with all the students standing.

A local miller - said Thursday that the outlook at' this time is favorable for good prices for wheat for the next two or three years, Several conditions, he said, point to it. There is no large surplus anywhere. With exporting coun tries like Australia in the market for wheat, the situation . is most favorable for the grower. As to the present prices, whether they will go higher, or suffer the usual reactionary decline, that remains he said, to be seen.
