Slorrow County Will Prbdnce 1,000,- OOO-Bushels Scarcity of Labor Moore Bros. Latest Trans portation Scheme. Harvesting Is now at full awing In the Columbia River counties of this state, and from this district alone, which Is exclusively Portland territory, approximately 25 per cent more wheat will be available than was handled last year. There was some damage by Spring frosts and tome loss by shatter ing at harvest, but the crop as a whole Is very satisfactory -In its dimensions, . with the quality unusually good. IONE, Aug. H. (Staff correspondence.) With th6 passing of the Willamette Valley as a factor in the wheat trade of Port land and Oregon, the prestige of the me tropolis has suffered slightly in the past two years. This shrinkage, or rather lack of growth In the Industry, has been made unduly prominent on account of the marked Increase in wheat production In Washington. . With diversified farming cutting down the yield of the Willamette vauey from 5.000.000 and 6,000.000 bushels to a scant 2,500,000 bushels, and oracticallv all of this ground Into flour or fed to tho hogs, the Increased yield In Oregon east or the Cascade Mountains has been Insuf ficient to offset the lora. With the Wil lamette Valley eliminated from the situ aUon, Portland's exclusive territory now lies In the Oregon counties lying along tne Columbia River In the Grand Ronde alley and along the Snake River below Lewiston. Not for a moment should It bo Inferred that Portland's wheat trade is limited to these districts, for, as is well known, Portland draws more wheat out of the rich Palouse than is taken out bv the Puget Sound cities. It Is on these river counties, however, that Portland can figure to a certainty on securing all the wheat that is shipped, and this year the outlook is much more promising than It was a -year ago. - Wasco Good Yield. Wasco County, which Is first on tho iit is now threshing out a crop . which will average up about 25 per. cent greater than mat or isoi. Dame Nature played some queer pranks with the wheat fields of the river countlea and with hr t--,,. last Spring left numerous "streaked" patches where heads show only half the oemes that should be there, ami flpldn which a month earlier nromlsrrl vfMc nt 40 bushels to the acre are doing well to ram off 25 and 30 bushelE. although I hnv heard of a few fields which ran S3 bushil?i and 40 bushels to the acre. While Wasco County will have about 23 per cent more wneat than she had last year.-her deal will not handle a proportionate increase over last year's business. This Is due to the fact tint Klickitat County, Washing ton. Just across the river, has n cmn nn. proximately 25 per cent smaller than that or last year. The Sorlnrr frosts, whlrh cut down the yield on the south sHi of the Columbia River, played irreater havno In Klickitat County, and there was no increase In acreage to make a Ktand.nfr for this decrease, as was the case on the urecon side. The Dalles Milling Interests. In actual wheat,' The Dalles will nroh- ably have smaller shipments this year than sne has had for many years, but the de crease will be greatly to her advantage, as sne is now equipped with a flour ml! of sufficient capacity to handle over two thirds of the wheat crop of the countv The Wasco Warehouse & Mllllnc Comnanv has Just completed a 600-barrel mill, and Is already grinding for the export and local trade It has one of the finest power plants In the West, and has built Its mill bo that Its capacity can easily be double Another new mill Is ncarlng completion at asco. on the Columbia Southern while a small custom mill is under pen. strucUon at Moro, Sherman County. evr Acrcncre in Sherman County. Umatilla has long enjoyed the distinction of being the banner wheat county of the state, but Sherman has aspirations, and in a fair way to contest the title of the reservation county before many seasons roll by. There was quite a material In crease in the acreage In Sherman this year, the territory south of Grass Valley showing an exceptionally large amount new land now producing Its first crop As was the case In Wasco, the frcst leff occasional trails of pinched heads through the fields o this county. There are also numerous complaints of loss through "shattering," some farmers claiming as high os eight bushels per acre lost in this way, although others assert that two bushels per acre would be nearer correct on most of the fields where the trouble is reported. The cause of this unusual shattering Is explained in many ways, all of which are plausible, and all probably ccntributary to a condition which has left Sherman County's fields well seeded for a volunteer crop. Why Wheat "Shattered." One theory Is that the belated Spring, with attendant cold weather, affected the growth of the mesh or husk of the berry, so that It is abnormally weak, and unable to support the plump berries, which filled out remarkably well, and are loose and Teady to roll out as soon -as the stalk Is touched. Others claim that the most of the daiJage has been do'ne to bearded wheat with a good stand on the ground. Thero was more wh:d than usual while the wheat ripened, and as the beards rubbed against each other the wheat rattled out. Whatever the cause, the fact remains that , there has beeii moro wheat lost through shattering than ever before, and farmers have plugged up the cracks In their header wagon boxes, and drive very gingerly in order to make the loss as small as possible. Many Combines Running.. It is with a crop like this that the com bined harvester proves its superiority over other methods of saving the wheat, for no matter how badly the wheat shatters, it all. finds its way into the sack on the combine. There are about a dozen of these machines in Sherman County, and some of them have records of 60 acres in a f Ingle day's run, although the average run o a good machine Is between 30 and 40 acres a day. These machines arc operated with four and five men, and tha saving over the old method of harvesting Is very great. About the only complaint heard is where a man attempts to do too much with the ma chines. Thousand-acre wheat fields are not uncommon in Sherman' County, and accordingly a combine Is kept busy for at lea3t 25 days, taklrig caro of the crop. Twenty-five days of burning sunshine hustles a crop along toward the ripening stage at a lively rate, hence it Is obvious that, to get the most work out of the com bine, the first wheat must be cut a trifle green, while he last of the run is liable to be over-ripc. Some farmers do not at tempt to get too much work out of the machine, but as they arc expensive affairs, there Is always a tendency to work them to the limit. Harvest Hands Scarce. The periodical scarcity of harvest hands is again noticeable, and is causing much anxiety for the farmers who have grain ripening so rapidly that it is very Import ant that It should be cut at once. At every station along the Columbia South ern numerous farmers line up at the car steps and eagerly .accost every man who has the appearance of being In search of work. The wages are good, and the help Is so scarce that they are governed largely by the needs of the farmer. For driving header wagon from ?2 to $2 50 per day and board is paid, while for threshing ma chine hands the wages run up as high, as ?3 at 53 50 per day. The harvest hands are in perfect touch with the situation, and some of them exact the last pcrslble farthing from the farmers. I listened to a long argument at Wasco a few days ago between a far mer and a new arrival, and It was not until the sUpulated ,J2 50 per day had been supplemented by a meal, bottle of whisky and the promise to drive five miles out of the way, so that the new hired man could call on a friend, that the son of toll consented to accompany the far mer. The situation Is easing a little for the thresherman, as the headers are com pleting their work, but there will be a brisk demand for all kinds of labor for several weeks. . - Banner Yield In Morrovr. - The H'jppntr- brafecb' of tho O. R. & -2?H Co. will this, year liandle more wheat than ever before, and, from tho returns now coming to hand, the crop of Morrow Coun ty will approximate 1,000,000 bushels, and may exceed that amount. At lone, which is the principal wheat-shipping point on the Heppner branch, between 400.000 and 500,000 bushels of wheat will bo handled, and. the quality will average higher than ever before, much of It weighing from CO to G2 pounds to the bushel. Last year the entire crop on the Heppner branch was only about C00.C00 bushels, and the quality was about the poorest that ever came out of Morrow County. Very little barley and only a few patches of oats are to be found in Morrow County, but in Sherman and Wasco it is estimated that the output or barley will be about 2SO.CO0 bushels, with probably half that quantity of oats. The greater part of the buying already reported In the river counties has been on milling account. On the new lands very strong whcatls grown, which is ad mirably adapted for the manufacture of macaroni and breakfast foods. For these grades of wheat a slight premium Is paid over export values. No matter what the export price of wheat may be, any premium over that price Is almost certain to loosen up some of the cereal at any and all staKes ot the season. For that reason there has been a fair selling movement alreai'- with some Indications that the crop will move fairly free, even should there be no Improvement over present prices, which today arc about 50 cents at most points cn the Heppner branch and Columbia Southern. Latest" Transportation Project. Sherman County farmers are much inter ested In the proposed railroad from Eiggs to The Dalles. Agents of the company are circulating contracts among the farmers and , warehousemen, asking them to agree to ship nil of their freight over the new line for a period of five years. The lead ing promoters of the new scheme are Moore Bros., the Moro bankers, who are also large stockholders in the Columbia Southern, and own wheat lands by the township, not only In Sherman County but In the Horse Heaven country In Washington. The Moores are quite con fident of the success of tholr enterprise. Their plans Include In addition to the rail road from Biggs to The Dalles, a line of boats from Biggs to the present head of navigation on this portlcn of the Colum bia River. Plans for two of these boats, one for tho passenger and freight traffic and one for freight, have already been submitted to bidders. Tho larger of these boats is to cost about ?CO,000. and the ether about 510.000. The promoters of the latest project for getting past the obstructions above The Dalles do not see anything In the failure of the Paul Mohr scheme to -cause them uneasiness over the success of their plan. The principal point of advantage over the Taul Mohr road lies In the fact that, had Mohr hauled his freight over the portage road, he would still be without a railroad connection, while the new road, if it goes through, can deliver the wheat at The Dalles, to either or both rail and steam boat. It Is npt clear yet what -kind of an agree ment can be made with the Columbia Southern, but the promoters are figuring on handling a large share of the business which Is now turned over to tho O. R. & N. at Biggs. The contracts now in clrcu laUon among the farmers do not promise an immediate reduction In rates, but as they Imply as much, and promise an ad ditional outlet for. one of the greatest wheat districts of the state, they are being signed quite readily.

An anom alous situation obtains In the Island of Guam In reference to tho administration of justice, and Commander Schroeder. the Governor of the island, has been driven ta appeal to the Navy Department hero for Instructions as to the -limit of his powers. Congress has not legislated for the Island, and the will of the Naval Gov ernment has been practically supreme. When Ihe island was turned over to the Navy Department, and Captain Leary was appointed Governor, he decided to continue In operation tho old Spanish laws, except such a3 should be monlfied by his directions or that of the Navy De partment. Under the old system of laws thus put In force there existed practical ly but a single court on the island, the court " of first Instance, which corre sponds to the lowest Judicial tribunal In this country, under the Spanish law. an appeal was allowed from the decisions of this court to the Court of Cessation In the Philippines, with provision for a final appeal, in certain class of cases, to the Government at Madrid. But with the advent of American control In the Philippines, this power of appeal was cut off. and the decision of the Court of First Instance practically stands as the de cision of the Court of Last Resort. Some time ago a native was convicted In thl3 court of murder and was sentenced- to be executed. Tho evidence seemed to leave some question of his-guilt. and tho Governor was appealed to. Being at a loss as to what action he could take, he advised the Secretary of the Navy of the situation, and asked for instructions There are said to be other cases which Involve the rights of American citizens who have been tried in Guam under tho Spanish law, which, among other things, does not prQVidc for trial by jury, to which Americans are entitled under the Constitution. The whole subject is being carefully considered by the Navy Depart ment. The Judge Advocate, it Is under stood, will shortly render an opinion, upon which Acting Secretary Darling will act.

TO CULTIVATE FRIENDLY SPIRIT Monument Will Be Erected in City Park uy 1005 Fair Management io Commemorate Deeds of Lewis and Clark. The Lewis and Clark Fair manage ment has appointed Colonel Henry E. Dossil to go to Japan at the earliest practicable time, for the purpose of ar ranging for an Oregon exhibit at the Osaka exhibition. In 1003. The purpose Is to cultivate, amicable relations with the Japanese. In the expectation that they will be moved to secure large rep resentation at the 10-35 fair. The -fair management has also de cided to erect a Lewis and Clark monu ment in Portland City Park. The Board of Directors of the Lewis and Clark Fair held a meeting yesterday in the office of the secretary on Washing ton street and, discussed several Important matters that have Intimate connection with the enterprise. Colonel H. E. Dosch was directed to make a trip to Japan with all passible haste for the purpose of ascer taining what sort of a state exhibition should be sent to the Osaka Industrial Ex hibition cext Spring. It was also resolved to erect a statue In the City Park to commemorate the trip of Lewis and Clark and the Fair to be held In their honor. After several other matters had been care fully considered the meeting was ad journed. Before the meeting was called to order there was some little discussion regarding the merits of the City. Park as a Fair site. The members of the board had several different views on the matter, acd all had their say, but no definite conclu sion was drawn. It seemed to be the con sensus of opinion that a railroad, either electric or cable, could be constructed into tho park If necessary. President Corbett called the meeting to order at 3:40 P. M. He made a brief ex position of the business before the board, namely, of the advisability of sending an exhibit to the Osaka Exhibition. The members present seemed to be of the opin ion that the exhibit should be sent by all means, for If a good display were to be rnade, Japan might In turn send something to the iSCa Fair to be held In this city. The question was brought up as to wheth er the board had any right to act In the matter, ano If It would not be better to call on the Board of Trade and the Cham ber of Commerce for funds to defray tho expenses. The State Legislature could ap propriate the funds at the next session and repay the money thus expended. Mr. Mills suggested that It the National Gov ernment were to make a display the state could send what It wanted along with It. for there was no use of spending $5000 If the same results could be obtained for nothing, i Colonel Dosch. as director of the local enterprise, was called Into the meeting and asked to make a statement on the subject. He said that there was no money left from the Charleston and the Buffalo fair funds, and, even If there was. It would not be available for this purpose without a special act of the Legislature. By the time the lawmaking body couM convene It would be too late to act. and the only remaining thing was to settle the matter now, if any results were expected. "I think that S3C00 would be plenty." continued Mr. Dosch. "I understand that tho O. R. & N. Co. will transport at: the material over free of charge on their steamers, attd that will save a lot of ex pense. I have several carloads of grains and other things suitable for a dteplay which are my own personal property, and I will send them along with the rest, so that we can save something In that line also. We ought to send some one over there now to see what sort of a display to send, for there Is no use sending some thing that will not Interest them." Mr. MI5I3 thought the Consular reports should show what was needed to make the display successful, but Mr. Scott sa'd a man better be sent right away, for there was not a great deal of time left. Mr. Corbett said send the man, and tho Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade and the Manufacturers Association could arrange to make the display ac cording to his report. Mr. Ladd also spoke In favor of send ing some one to see what should be dis played, and Mr. Wheelwright moved that Mr. Dosch be sent as soon as possible, and that the expenses be paid from the gen eral fund on hand. Mr. Mills seconded tho motion, and It was unanimously carried. Mr. Ladd then moved that the Governor be respectfully requested to appoint Mr. Dosch representative of the state at the Osaka Exposition. This was also unani mously passed. It was decided that a committee be appointed to ascertain what could be done regarding the funds neces sary for the display. Mr. Ladd moved that the Governor be respectfully requested to appoint Mr. Dosch In charge of the ex hibit to be made by this state at the Japanese fair. Passed unanimously. Monument for Lewis and Clark. Mr. Corbett then offered the following resolutions: Resolved. That we erect a monument In the City Park to the memory of Lewis and Clark, the early explorers of the Oregon Coun try, on which shall be four tablets, represent ing Oregon. Washington. Idaho and Montana, by their respective eoats of arms and symbolic Inscriptions. The granite from which it Is to e erected to be taken from near tho route traversed by the exploring party to Ore gon, the monument to be unveiled In the centennial year 1005. And be It further Resolved. That the cornerstone be prepared and laid as early as possible, and the Presi dent of the United States be invited to be present and participate. And be It further Resolved. That the Governors of Oregon. Washington. Idaho and Montana be invited to be present and participate. Mr. Scott moved that the resolutions be adopted, and they were unanimously. The president appointed Messrs. Wes singer, Devers and Frlede a committee to confer with the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade to make 'preparations for the exhibition that should be selected by Mr. Dosch after his return from Japan. Messrs. Flelschner, Frlrde and Wcssinger were named as a committee on press and publicity, whose endeavor It should be to advertise the 1S05 Fair as widely as possible.. Mr. Dosch said that he would start on the first s,teamer for the Orient, as no time could be' lost In starting the exhibit , on its way.
