Condon Is Largest Primary
Wheat Distributing Point
in the Country.
SHIPS BIG ANNUAL CROP
One Oregon City Sends Away 1,
300,000 Bushels of Wheat,
Thus Taking First Place
In United States.
CON'DOX, Or., Feb. 2. (Special.) The
latest estimate of the .amount of gram
olready shipped and that remaining to be
shipped from Condon is 1.30U.000 bushels.
According to this showing. Condon Ls the
largest primary grain shipping point in
the United States and, as far as can be
learned. In the entire -world. The point
which has heretofore claimed the honor
of being the largest primary grain ship
ping point in the world is Ritzvllle. Wash.,
its supremacy being claimed oi the basis
of shipping 1.250,0U) bushels.
From iigures obtained from the best
authorities on the subject. l,100.ono bushels
of wheat and barley have already been
received by the -warehouses and mill here.
And to this must be added .the large
amount that is yet scattered over the
country waiting to be hauled to town be
fore Spring. It is safe to say that there
remains in Condon's territory 200.000
bushels yet to bo brought in, making a
grand total of 1.300.000 bushels to be ship
ped from Condon alone.
No less remarkable is the estimated out
put of grain In every section of Gilliam
County, the total of the estimates of the
different stations exceeding the amount
to be shipped from Condon. It must also
he taken into consideration that many
thousands of bushels of grain harvested
along the borders of the county are ship
ped from nearby railroad points in the
adjoining counties. The total of the num
ber of bushels shipped from these points
added to the amounts shipped from differ
ent stations in" Gilliam County places the
enormous output of Gilliam County at
2.7.y.000 bushels.
At least fiXU0 , bushels of wheat and
barley are kept for feed and seed, thus
bringing the total amount of grain raised
In the county to 3.350.O00 bushels. The
amount of wheat shipped from Gilliam
County, if made into flour and then into
broad would make 120.000,000 loaves
and these placed end to end would
reach a. distance of Ifi.OSS'i miles, or over
three-fifths of the distance around the
earth. These statements are. no doubt,
a great surprise to the majority of the
people of this section as -well as other,
sections of the. state, as very- few people
have given this matter a thought, every
ono being well satisfied with the returns
received.
At the average price of 70 cents per
bushel, as was received this year for
wheat, which made up the greatest share
of the crop output, part of the great
wealth of Gilliam County can be easily
- computed. It means that about ?1, 750.000
will bo received and divided among the
farmers of Gilliam County for wheat
alone. To this large amount must be
added the proceeds from other vast re
sources, such as cattle, horses, sheep,
hogs. etc.. which will prove beyond a
doubt Gilliam's untold wealth.
In speaking of the crop of the coming
season, the farmers are all looking for
ward to a still better year. Many ranch
ers are going into wheat raising on a
larger scale than ever before.
FIEIj DOWN AT PEXDLETOS
Mild Winter Causes Small Demand
and Prices Fall.
i PENDLETON, Or., Feb. 2. (Special.)
An exceptionally mild Winter has
combined with the recent financial
panic to create havoc with the fuel
situation in this city, as viewed from
the standpoint of the fuel dealer. Coal
has dropped from $11 to $7 per ton, and
though th&. wood price is being kept
up temporarily by the sheer force of
the local combine, the bottom is sure
to drop out of it shortly.
All Summer and up to .three months
ago wood was selling at Kamela and
Meacham at $5.50 per cord on the dump
at the mountain stations. It Is now a
drug on the market at $4, with every-

thing pointing to a still greater reduc
tion. Wood-choppers can now be had
by the score for $1 per cord, while
three months ago it was next to lra
poesible to get a man to go Into the
timber with an ax for $2 and $2.25 per
cord.
Though the snow in the mountains
makes wood-sledding good, no fuel is
being moved, for the reason that the
dumps are all full and there are no
buyera. No wood is being shipped out.
Umatilla and Walla Walla Counties
furnish the market for the Kamela and
Meacham product, and since both these
counties have enjoyed extremely mild
Winters, the demand has been little
more than half what it has been in
former Winters. ' The financial flurry
has also had something to do with the
situation.
W1U PLOW rP HOP ACREAGE
Yakima Valley Growers Turn to
Other Crops.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Feb. 2.
( Special.) It Is conceded today that 20
per cent of the hop acreage in the
Yakima Valley will be plowed up this
year, many growers declaring that
they have picked -their last hop. Sev.
eral among the most prominent grow
ers, including such men as A. B. Weed.
W. P. Sawyer, Zack Hawkins, Bunnell
Brothers and G. A. Allen will displace
their hop acreage with fruits and hay,
potatoes and onions. The school sec
tion, near this city, which has been
noted for its fine hop fields for years,
will be deprived of its last vine this
season.
A few growers familiar with hop flg
uros predict that the yield of the Yaki
ma Valley this year, computed on the
basis of an average crop, will not
exceed 10.000 bales The average prod
iet of the valley ls about 26,000 bales.
Last year the yield was only 18,000
bales, but there were many fields that
were not picked, perhaps a fourth of
the acreage.
It may truthfully be said that there
is a strong feeling here against fur,
ther speculation in hops. Other crops
in this district pay such greater profit,
many of them are grown with less
risk and command a much better mar
ket throughout the season. The tend
ency to plow up the hop fields and
devote the land to other crops is nat
urally growing rapidly, purely as a
business proposition.

KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Feb. 2.
(Special.) The Klamath Oil Company
has been incorporated and Is about to
complete arrangements for the installa

first well at a point near Bonanza. Oil
indications have Induced the sinking of a

ASHLAND. Or., Feb. 2. (Special.)'
One of the most potent political or
ganizations in the forthcoming cam
paign , in Jackson County promises to
be the anti-saloon movement, the lead
ers of which are girding on their armor.
They announce their intfntion of carry
ing the war against the saloon into
every precinct of Jackson County.
Ashland's "dry" vote at the recent city
election has unquestionably given an
impetus to the movement to put the
whole county "dry," and many believe,
that the Prohibitionists have a good
chance of carrying the day. Medford,
heretofore a strong saloon and license
town, it Js said, has -seen a great
change in sentiment, and the vote there
under the local option law in June
promises to be pretty evenly divided.
To Irrigate Pleasant Valley.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., Feb. 2.
(Special.) An immense dam across Se
lah Canyon, forming a reservoir to
hold water enough to irrigate 5000
acres of rich fruit land In Pleasant
Valley, is being constructed by local
and outside capitalists who own the
entire valley. The dam will be 800
feet long and 60 feet high, with a
concrete core from the base to the
summit and a concrete spillway.' Sev.
enty-five square miles of watershed
will supply the water, it is estimated,
during the Spring snow thaw. The
largest dry-land wheat ranch In the
county will be turned into orchard
tracts. A townsite has been reserved.

ASHLAND. Or., Feb. 2. (Special.)
Present prospects are that the year 100S
will see more building improvements In
Ashland than for several years past.
The year ISO" witnessed some splendid
improvements In the way of new mod
ern brick business blocks in the central
business section.
Now it is understood that the few re
maining shacks are to give way to new
structures In keeping with adjacent
property. No less than half a dozen
brick business buildings are contemplat
ed for the present year already. One of
the most Important of those will be a
temple which Ashland Lodge No. 944 of
Klks has in contemplation.
There has been more, or less building
In the residence line going on steadily
during the Winter months, but there
prosiises to be something of a boom in
this line when the Spring and Summer
seasons open. The supply of dwellings
to rent has been totally inadequate to
the demand for months past.
, The- macadam street improvement
work undertaken as an experiment by
the city during the Winter has demon
strated what a great boon this class of
Improvement is and will doubtless re
sult in extensive undertakings in this
line when the favorable season is at
hand.

among these Improvements Is a new
electric motor. supplanting the old
horse-power arrangement, which will
furnish power for the various machin

the department. An entirely new plant
has been put in for the use of students
desiring to learn how to make ice
cream. The studies In ice.cream mak

Thirty-five students are at present
enrolled in this department, this being
the largest number of students the de.

Twenty of the students are in the four
year course, which leads, to the bach

Been Sent to Washington.
ROSEBURG, Or., Feb. 2. (Special.)
That the loug-talked-of Federal building
for Roscburg Is t-ow a certainty is the
opinion of those most interested here.
Late Thursday evening. M. McCoy, of
this city, received a communication from
Congressman W. C. Hawley asking as
to the total floor space needed for the
Government Institutions here, the salaries
of the clerks now employed, the cewt of
rents, etc., and all data required before
the bill is presented for action through
the regular official channels. This re
quest has been complied with, full In
formation concerning the situation here
bring forwarded immediately to Wash
ington. There, are four departments here,
the Weather "Bureau, the Postoffice. the
Land Office, and the largest Forestry
Department In the West. The data sent
by Mr. McCoy fe the last thread to weave
before the bill becomes an Issue in the
House, the measure for the $125,000 build
ing now being in the hands of the com
mittee on public buildings and grounds.
It is said the Oregon leaders have agreed
to abandon all other Oregon Federal
structures, under the agreement that the
Roseburg structure will be allowed.
NEW SCHOOL FOR HOOD RIVER
Structure to Be Erected at Cost of
$43,000 Soon as Possible.
HOOD RIVER. Or.; Feb. 2 (Special.)
In order to provide for Hood River's
rapidly-growing population of school age
a new $43,000 brick schoolhouse was voted
for by the taxpayers Saturday. The
money to erect the schoolhouse will be
secured by bonding, and the bonds wHl
be Issued as soon as the necessary for
malities can bo consummated.
The new structure will contain 12 rooms
each of which will be equipped with all
that Is latest in a modern educational
Institution and will replace the present
high school. The latter will be used for
the Intermediate grades.
The number of children attending school
at -Hood River fs said to be the greatest
of any town In the state in proportion
to Its population. An effort was made
last year to secure a union high school
which would provide for the advanced
pupils of both town and valley but was
voted down. Failing in this proposition
the citizens of Hood River took up a
local high school and were successful in
carrying it through.
