' SPOKANE, Wash., June 5. (Special.) Eastern Washington, if present conditions continue, will raise nearly 40,000,000 bush els of wheat this year. Keports from the grain-growing sections of Eastern "Wash ington show a flattering: outlook for a record-breaking crop in all lines. From the British Columbia lino to Asotin County and from the Cascades to the Idaho line Increased acreage and healthy growth of grain are reported. Fall-sown wheat Is making an excellent showing. Spring-sown wheat was delayed considerably In sprouting by a late season and a dry spell a little longer than Is usually experienced at this time of the year. The recent rains, however, have Been of material benefit to Fall-sown grain and. have also provided moisture for the Spring wheat at the time It was most needed. Increase In Central Washington. Tho increased acreage Is more notice able In Central 'Washington. Tho average increase In acreage is fully 20 per cent in that section, while throughout the eastern part of the state a conservative estimate is 10 por cent of increased acreage. It Is bolieved the record-breaking crop of 1897 will bo surpassed. The grain crop of Whitman County promises to be the greatest ever harvested. Tho acreage is the largest In its history. The condition of Fall-sown wheat Is splen did, and unless something unforeseen oc curs a record-breaking yiold will be har vested from all Wlnfer-wheat fields. Spring wheat is late but of healthy color, stands well on the ground and promises a flno yield. , Estimated at 25 Per Cent. A conservative estimate places the acre age at 23 per cent over last year, and the yield per acre at 25 pfer cent greater than in 1503. Tho total yield of Whitman Coun ty is estimated at from 12,000,000 to 14,000, 000 bushels' this season. - Flattering conditions prevail In the Horse Heaven country, tributary to Ken newlck. Eighteen thousand acres of wheat, an increase of 60 per cent over last year, will yield an averago of 20 bushels to the acre. Harvesting will begin early next month. Doubled in Asotin. In Asotin County the acreage Is EO per cent larger than last year. Fall-sown grain never looked better. Spring-sown grain is freshened by copious rains and prospects nro bright. In the Columbia County barley district there are about 3S.000 acres under cultiva tion for barley and 7000 acres In grain. Fall-sown wheat is in excellent condition. Walla Walla County has 150.000 acres under wheat, and the total yield will bo 8,500.000 bushels, 1,000.000 more than last year. In the foothills the yield will run between 40 and E0 bushels to the acre. Re cent rains make bumper crops almost a certainty. More by Two, Million. Tho Lincoln County crop this year should total 12,000.000 bushels, 2,000,000 bushels more than last year. Every condition of ground and plant is favorable to a great harvest Adams County has 250,000 acres sown, to wheat. 20 per cent more than last year. Bains and Ideal growing weather will anako the yield per acre larger than last year, and 7.000,000 bushels will not bo far from tho total yield.

Gallic Investors Absorb Credit Notes, Running Up the Price. LONDON, June 6. The whole of the $160,000,000 Russian credit notes are said to have been absorbed by French investors and the price has now reached a small premium.

In speaking further on the marriage re lation President Smith defended his own course in living in polygamy, saying: "I dare not and will not cast aside those whom God in his Infinite wisdom has Joined to mo for time and eternity. I dare not and will not cast aside the mothers of my children. If I did I would forfeit all the blessings that God will be stow upon those who are faithful to their trust.
