WHEAT YIELD TO
BE NEAR RECORD

14,000,000 Bushels.

BT E. TV. WRIGHT.
Estimates compiled from data received
from more than SSO of the principal
wheat stations of Oregon. Washington
and Idaho, Indicate the 1909 wheat yield
for the three states to be approximately
65.000,0(10 bushels, compared with 40.000,000
bushels last year. 60.000,000 bushels In 1907,
and a five-year average of 48,600,000.
These figures are, of course, suscep
tible to some change In case of wet
weather damage at harvest, but with
cutting already bp (run south of Snake
River, and plenty of moisture to carry
the Spring wheat along to maturity,
there Is only a slight chance for much
deterioration. Practically all of these
reports, which were gathered by special
correspondents of The Oregonlan, by rail
road agents and by representatives of
the warehouse and milling interests cover
the situation to July 8.
Rain Worth, Millions.
The reports are all enthusiastic regard
ing the great benefits from the- recent
rains, gome of the railroad men estimat
ing the increase in yield directly trace
able to the rains, as high as 3,000,000
bushels, while the most conservative
credit the last rain with adding more
than 1.000.000 bushels to the crop.
Of the three states. Idaho has the best
crop, with Washington showing up ex-
ceedlngly well, while Oregon, especially
in the river counties, suffered from dry
weather to such an extent that the dam
age could not all be repaired by the late
rains.
Some of the poor yields in Oregon have
been offset in the totals by an Increased
acreage in new territory. The most
noticeable increase of this nature Is
along the Wallowa extension of the O.
R. A N. The building of the railroad to
Joseph resulted in a liberal increase in
the acreage, and the yield in that sec
tion has been very satisfactory. Kali
wheat running 30 to 35 bushels an ' acre
while Spring wheat promises SO bushels
an acre. There is a large acreage in
oats and barley In this new territory.
The former will run 50 to 0 bushels an
acre while barley will average 40 to 60
bushels an acre.
New Acreage Swells Total.
Another locality in which new acreage
will aid In swelling the totals is the
Haystack and Bake Oven country where
there is an increase of about 30 per cent
in the acreage with the yield about 10
per cent better than last year. Agency
Plains has a large crop, but in the
absence of railroad facilities nearer than
Shaniko, very little of it will be hauled
out. unless the price holds at good figures.
Sherman County Is somewhat spotted,
and early in the season the outlook was
poor. Rains in the latter part of June
helped, however, and there will be a
material Increase over last year's output.
The increase in acreage Is slight. The
barley crop will be larger than that of
last year. Conditions in Wasco are simi
lar to those in Sherman County, the im
provement since the rains being quite
pronounced. The growth of the stalk
has been stunted, but the heads are large
and the berries plump.
Heavy Crop Near Condon.
Along the Arlington branch of the O.
R. & N. the crop Is light until Condon is
reached. Exclusive of the latter point it
is believed that 300,000 bushels will cover
the yield from Arlington to Condon.
Around Condon, however, the outlook is
far from gloomy. With the exception of
about 20,000 acres, which have been taken
by weeds, there will be a pretty fair yield
and Condon will maintain its prestige by
handling upwards of 1,000,000 bushels,
some of which will come from Wheeler
County.
Morrow County is not quite so good as
Gilliam, but there, as elsewhere in the
river counties, some very short stalks of
wheat are turning out well filled heads
since the showers in the latter part of
June. Heppner. Lexington, lone and
Cecil, the principal stations in Morrow
County, will probably handle about 500.000
bushels.
Umatilla Below Average.
Umatilla, the banner wheat county of
the state, is not coming up to its usual
standard. The light lands suffered by
the dry weather early in the season, and
the showers that came later were not
general throughout the county. In the
old, reliable country around Weston,
Athena and Adams some very heavy
yields are reported, but in the vicinity of
Echo and Pilot Rock the output will be
below the average. The crop is so uneven
that there la a wide difference of opinion
even among men who are in a good posi
tion to Judge of Its siie. The estimates

BOAT SPEEDS OVER I
DRY LAND AND SEA
DANISH INVENTOR HAS CRAFT
THAT FLIES AT TIMES.
Vessel, When Going at Full Tilt,
Rises From Keel and Shoots
Through Air Like Bird.
COPENHAGEN. Denmark, July 8.
(Special.) Herr Elenhammer, Inventor
of a flying machine, made a demonstra
tion today before the naval authorities
of his new "air-pressure boat." It is
propelled by compressed air, and when
the craft is running at full speed it
rises from the water until it Just clears
the surface with its keel.
In the experiment today the pro
pelling apparatus was used on a motor
boat of several tons burden. The trial
was successful and caused a sensation
among the observers. The boat passed
over all kinds of surface obstacles, in
cluding a narrow strip of land.
It is believed that the invention will
be highly useful for war purposes.
Elenhammer was assisted in perfecting
the Invention by Count Frederick
Moltke, a relative of Count Carl Moltke,
the Danish Minister at Washington.
PASSENGERS GIVEN SCARE
Steamer Iroquois Has Thrilling Ex
perience From Sidney.
VICTORIA. B. C, July 8. (Special.)
The 45 passengers for Victoria from
the Islands of the Georgian Gulf, by
the steamer Iroquois, yesterday had a
thrilling tale of shipwreck or almost
to relate to anxious families and
friends when they ultimately ' reached
here by train from Eidney before mid
night. They were still a pallid company,
for seasickness and fright made a bad
combination. The Iroquois' rudder was
carried away off South Pender Island.
The weather was clear and sea calm
at the time, and realizing- the futility
of other action than the prompt deliv
ery of passengers, the services of a
large passing launch were secured and
the passengers transferred to her.
A mile or so out the overladen craft
encountered a heavy and choppy sea.
and for an hour or more terror ruled
the company. A safe landing was even
tually made at Sidney, and a special
train brought all ' to the city. A tow
boat was at once dispatched for the
disabled Iroquois, which is today ship
ping another rudder.
FRENCH S0L0NS TO FIGHT
Deputy and Minister, Exchange
Cards; Duel to Follow.
PARIS, July 8. As be was leaving the
Senate this afternoon, M. Caillaux, the
Minister of Finance, was struck in the
face by Charles Bos, an ex-Deputy,
who claimed that the Finance Minister
slandered him in the Chamber of Depu
ties by charging him with lobbying
against the bill to renew the subsidy
agreement with the Messageriee Maritime
Company.
According to the ex-Deputy, M. Caillaux
raised his cane, but he did not Btrlke
back, saying as he drove oft, "A blow by
you doesn't count."
M. Caillaux later sent his seconds to
Bos. It is understood that the clerk of
the Senate will begin proceedings against
Bos in the Correctional Court for insult
ing a magistrate in the exercise of his
duty in the precincts of official premises.
BUTTON CLOGS WINDPIPE
Fit or Coughing Relieves Spokane
Man of Throat Trouble.
SPOKANE, Wash., July 8. (Special.)
Martin Smith, a Spokane householder, for
two months had been losing flesh and
sleep because he thought he had some
thing like a lid on his windpipe. It
would shut off his breath at intervals
and threatened to kill him. Physicians
treated him for throat trouble and tested
him for heart trouble, but could not
diagnose the ailment or give him relief.
Wednesday Smith had a paroxysm of
coughing and after a violent heave, cast
forth a white vest button he had for
gotten he swallowed. He is now re

Italians Now Believe Petroslno
Killed by American Associate.
ROME, July 8. (Special.) The Italian
police are at their wits end to identify
the murderer of Detective Petroslno, of
New York. Of the dozens of men ar
rested, all have ' been released except
those wanted for other crimes.
It is believed that the murderer Is still
in Palermo, though the opinion Is gaining
ground that the officer was killed by an
American associate, who committed the
murder In Italy In order to lead Ameri
can and Italian police to limit their In
quiry to Italy and Italian emigrants to
the United States.

MID-COLUMBIA.
Launch Breaks Down and Man Is
Forced to Swim to Shore to
Obtain Assistance.
PASCO. Wash.. July 8. (Special.)
Stranded for 48 hours on a small island
in the 9nake River, near the mouth of
the Columbia,' with their little launch
Waluke lying helpless in the sand, Mrs.
H. Langdon and Engineer Howe, in
charge of the boat, were rescued late yes
terday afternoon after a thrilling ex
perience. Early Monday morning a party of four,
consisting of G. W. Van Dyke, of the
Columbia River Orchards Company;
Henry Langdon, builder of the boat; his
mother, Mrs. Langdon, of Spokane, and
Engineer Howe, determined to give the
little boat a final test by running up the
river as far as Pasco.
When fairly under way the engine gave
out. and they were forced to return to
shore. A second trial was made, with the
result that the signal boards were lost
and In their efforts to regain them the
boat swept Into the main current and was
forced down stream. It was finally
stranded high and dry on the small
island. Mr. Langdon, immediately
realizing the seriousness of the
situation, volunteered to swim across
the river in search of aid. After brav
ing the swift current and crossing the
Snake River bridge, he returned with a
small ferry-boat containing provisions.
The ferry returned with Messrs. Van
Dyke and Langdon. Yesterday afternoon
a large boat rescued the others of the
party and the boat was brought up as
far as Ainsworth.

stitutionality would not prevent the Sec

Deliberately Packed.
LEGISLATURE IS AT FAULT
Witness Before Probe Committee
Has Respect for Jurists, but Sup
ports Charges by Action of
Court on Rehearing.
OLTMPIA, Wash.. July 8 (Special.)
Before the legislative committee investi
gating the State Supreme Court, Attor
ney Govnor Teats of Tam, 1.14 1
detaU of the report that the purpose of (
me oti law was to pack the Supreme
Court in favor of corporations. Before
that time the court of five had ruled, in
the Green case, that under the factory
inspection law, failure of a mill or fac
tory to provide safeguards required by
law would be presumption of negligence
in cases brought for damages by em
ployes for personal injuries.
Decision Stirs Corporations.
While the Legislature was in session
in the case of Hall against the West &
Slade Mill Company, of Aberdeen, the
court had reaffirmed that rule. This had
stirred up the corporations and the in
demnity insurance companies, which in
sured mills against damage suit losses.
A rehearing had been granted in the
Hall case and rumor Had it, according
to Teats, the law was passed increasing
the court two members, and Governor
Mead was induced to appoint H. D. Crow,
of Spokane, and Milo A. Root, . of Seat
tle, on the bench, to overrule this former
rule.
Teats Blames Legislature.
Teats said he had the highest respect
for the court and for the members, and
expressed the belief that the blame
rested upon the Legislature and the Gov
ernor for the appointments. He ex
plained that the ostensible reason for the
increase urged before the Legislature
was that the enormous Increase in busi
ness of the court demanded more Judges.
Teats did not charge that either Root or
Crow were corrupt, but said they had
been selected by the corporate influences
because from their experience and prac
tice they were believed to favor that side
of litigation.
In support of the rumor. It was
pointed out that on the rehearing Root
and Crow signed a lengthy opinion in
favor of the mill company, but it was
a minority opinion, for the original
four members stood pat on their for
mer holding.

nearly all of it Indian money," he said.
"We are erecting a bank building that
will cost about $4000. There are about
1500 members of our tribe living, and
nearly all of them are doing well. Some
are ranching and some are in," business,

LONDON, July 8.-What they could not

King Brought Pressure.
In the face of Mr. Asqulth's persistent
refusal to meet the deputation of suf

his lieutenant would consent to this
course, as he did. without strong pres

grounds. There was none of the violence
which attended the women's last raid on

Gladstone Promises Settlement.
The Home Secretary, Hon. H. J. Glad
