PALOESE IS PROSPEROUS.
And Indications Point to n Contlnn
ance of the Good Times.
COLFAX, "Wash., May 12. A copious
rain has fallen throughout the grain-
growing districts of Eastern "Washington.
and the drouth, which had continued for
nearly a month, has been broken. The
ground had become very dry. and, al
though no damage had been done, farm
ers were beginning to grow uneasy, lest
the wheat crop would be injured. Nearly
lw- an inch of railfall has placed the
ground In fine condition for crops, and at
least an average yield of grain is ex
pected.
The acreage of grain In the Palouse
country is about an average. There, is
less Fall and more Spring wheat than
usual, this being due to 'the unfavorable
weather for sowing wheat last Fall. The
acreage of oats and barley Is a little
larger than last year, the higher prices
paid for these grains during the past two
years being an Inducement for farmers to
sow more of them and less of wheat. The
prices of wheat, oats and barley are high
now, and farmers are strongly in hopes
of receiving good prices for the crop next
FalL Should there be an average yield of
gram and the prices remain about as they
are now, this will be one of the most
prosperous years the Palouse country has
experienced, and many farmers predict
that it will be.
This country is in a very prosperous
condition how, everything the farmer pro
duces bringing good prices, and the de
mand for all of his products more than
equaling the supply. Hogs are selling at
from $6.So to $7 per 100 pounds for fat
hogs, and ?S per 100 pounds for stock hogs,
and buyers are scouring the country buy
ing all that are offered. Fat steers bring
$4.50 and fat cows from $3.75 to $1 per 100
pounds, while stock cattle are corre
spondingly high. Heavy draft horses are
In demand at from $100 to $175 per head,
and the demand has been so strong that
many farmers have sold too many and are
handicapped In their farmwork by lack of
horses. As a result, more attention than
for years is being paid to breeding draft
horses for the markets of the Northwest.
The oldest fruit men of the country say
there has never been as bright prospects
for a( big yield of every variety of fruit
grown in this country as at present. Ap
ple, pear, peach, plum, prune, apricot
and nectarine trees and all the smaller
fruit bushes and vines are covered with
buds or with small fruit, and the season
Is .so far advanced thatall danger of dam
age by frosts Is past. More fruit trees
were planted In Whitman County this
year than ever before, and many more
would have been planted could the farm
ers have secured trees from the nurseries,
which were unable to supply the unusual
demand.
AUTOMATIC FISH CLEANER.
Machine That Will Revolutionize the
Canning Industry.
NEW "WESTMINSTER, May 12. (Spe
cial.) A machine to take the place of
hand labor In the cleaning and washing
of salmon in canneries is being manu
factured by the Schaake Machine "Works,
at New "Westminster. The invention
promises to work fully as great a revolu
tion In the canning industry as the can
topping and soldering machines have
done, one machine, with a capacity of
about 35 fish a minute, taking the place
of about 100 hands, doing the work more
thoroughly and cleanly.
The manner of operation is very sim
ple. The fish, as it comes from the water,
is fed tall-first Into the machine by hand.
A toothed grip attached to a running
chain grabs the fish by the tall, drawing
the body through a pair of loosely work
lng Jaws. "When the gills of the fish reach
these jaws, they catch upon them, draw
ing them backwards. This has the ef
fect of freeing a spring, upon which i
knife descends, cutting off the head, which
drops into a waste spout and is carried
away. The rest of the fish is carried
along, paeslng over a rolling disc knife.
which opens the belly and, passing on a
spirally fluted revolving shaft, removes
the entrails, which drop Into the waste
pipe, and are carried away by running
water. The fish is still carried forward
until the grip that holds the tall touches
another spring, when a knife descends
and cuts off the tall, and the body drops
into a spout and is delivered below.
where one man with a knife cuts off the
fins, the only operation left to be per
formed by hand.
Besides saving In the number of hands
required for the running of a cannery,
tne saving in ppace and room is very
great,. the machine needing no more space
than- one of the can-toppers. It has,
therefore, many advantages to recommend
it to the attention of cannerymen.
NATURAL RESERVOIR SITE.
Irrigation Expert Favorably Im
pressed "With Harper Basin.
VAtE. Or.. May 12. (Special.) Arthur
P. Davis, of "Washington, D. C., of the
united states Geological Survey, and
principal engineer of the "Arid Land
Reclamation Service, has visited Vale.
having come in from a tour of inspection
of reservoir sites, which had been favor
ably reported upon by his subordinate
engineer, Mr. "Whistler, who had visited
Malheur County a month previously.
Mr. Davis states that he has never seen
a more favorable site for the establish
ment of a National reservoir than the
Harper Basin, on the Malheur River.
about 25 miles from Vale, and speaks in
terms of great praise of the excellency of
the soil and of the great quantity of land
that might be reclaimed by this proposed
reservoir.
That which militates against the feasl-
billty of this undertaking is the Inferior
nature of ths- dam site. The stone and
earth to be used in the construction of
the dam, he states. Is of a very poor
quality. Mr. Davis Is eo favorably Im
pressed with the location, however, that
he will immediately order a crew of sur
veyors into the Harper Basin, but does
not expect to report to the Department of
State before next Fall.

' MANY "WERE DRUXK.
Peace of Corvnllls Disturbed by This
Contingent of Excursionists.
CORVALL1S, Or., May 12. (Special.)
The correct statement with reference to
the Corvallls row, reported in Tho Ore
gonlan Monday, is that while nearly all of
the 2000 excursionists were fine people,
thero was with them an accompaniment
of 75 to 100 men and boys who were drunk.
They came down on the main street of
the town, some of them to get a meal, but
most of the drunken ones to get more
whisky. It so nappens that the saloons
of Corvallls are closed on Sunday, and this
Infuriated those who wanted bugjulce.
They went to back doors and front doors
of saloons in a fruitless endeavor to get
liquor, and falling In It hunted trouble
and found it. Of excursionists on tho
street when the row occurred, many wero
properly behaved and duly sober. The
man who lost his ear may have been one
of these, but the statement Is freely made
here by those who saw the fracas that It
was not Mr. Porter but a drunken tough
who bit Barrett's ear off.
In the street talk here today there Is
general condemnation of Chief Alexander,
not for his effort to preserve order against
a mob of drunks, but because he did not
provide for a sufficient force of special
officers to preserve the order to which the
town is accustomed.
About 1000 of the excursionists spent the
afternoon looking through the Agricul
tural College grounds. Many others did
not leave the train, and many of those
who ventured down town were highly re
spectable, and their visit heartily appre
ciated. HERMANN AT ALBANY.
