run from 3.2.V,000 bushels to 5,000.000 bush
els. with most of the conservatives flfrur
nK on about 4.000,000 bushels. This figure
Is Rreater than scorned possible a few
weeks ago. but the heads have been fill
In out quite satlFfactorllv as harvest
time approaches, and the total output will
not fall far short of 4.000.000 bushels.
I nlon County has an excellent crop and
40-bushel yields will not be uncommon
around EIkIii and Summnrvllle.
Tho Willamette Valley has ceased to
fUrure. In tho export wheat market, but
the yield Is an Important factor In the
milliner business. rry weather has re
duced the amount per acre, but the hlsh
prices caused a sllKht increase in aereage
and present conditions indicate an out
turn of 2,250.000 bushels. In the remain
der of the state, wheat growing ) almost
exclusively for home consumption, but
will help to swell the total for the state
to approximately 14.000,000 bushels,
a cavalry train.
Washington Rrport9 Good.
Washington reports are uniformly
Rood. Walla Walla, with Its never-failing
foothill land, promises an out-turn
of 4.500,000 bushels. It is an excep
tionally poor year when this famous
what county cannot show some 60
bushel yields, and they are In evidence
this year, although there are also some
poor yields on the light lands. Bar
ley Is also turning off well in this
county, and has mad some Inroads on
the wheat acreage.
Columbia and Garfield Counties are
both expected to turn off record yields
of wheat and barley. This region was
favored with rain at a time when the
river counties in Oregon were missed.
Columbia will turn out about 1,000,000
bushels of wheat, and fully as much
barley, with Garfield not far behind.
Some estimates credit Columbia County
wlth 2.500.000 bushels, but the latter
figure will hardly be reached.
Whitman, the banner wheat county
of all the Northewst, gives excellent
promise of breaking records. The acre
age Is large and the crop conditions
are far above the average. Estimates
run from 9.000,000 to 12.000,000 bush
els, the latter being generaly regarded
as too high, while 9,000.000 bushels is
regarded as conservative. Whitman
County has been steadily drifting away
from wheatgrowlng exclusively, and
this year nearly one-third of the grain
acreage Is in oats and barley, the yield
of these grains being estimated at
nearly 6.000,000 bushels. The Whitman
County crop is nearly ready for har
vest, and binders will begin work next
week, while It Is expected that the com
bines will be In operation ten days
later.
Weather Cuts Down Lincoln.
Lincoln County, which In "light land"
years has come very close to Whit
man's yield, has suffered this year by
dry weather. A few good yields are
reported between Davenport and Ed
wall, but the big wheat acreage in the
vicinity of Wilbur. Almlra and Hartllne
has been seriously affected by the drv
weather. Lincoln County will be doing
extremely well If the final out-turn il
half as large as that of Whitman.
Adams County Is still in the uncertain
class, as the crop Is late in that region
and even the Winter wheat is not out
of the woods. At the best the crop will
be only fair, except down In the south-
part of the oount'- where some
or w hitman County's exceptionally fa
vorable weather prevailed. Douglas
County lost the greater part of its
wheat territory when the new county of
Grant was carved out this year, and
Grant, which has an increased acreage
as well as a fair yield, gives promise
of about 3.000,000 bushels. Some new
wheat land In the northern part of
Douglas County will make the yield for
els county in excess of 500,000 bush-
Spokane County was In the moisture
belt with Whitman, and as a result
has a fine crop in prospect. Not only
la the yield above the average, but the
quality Is excellent. Estimates as to
the probable yield vary between 1 250 -000
bushels and 2,000.000, with l.SOO.OOO
bushels regarded as very conservative.
Franklin Somewhat Behind.
Franklin County Is somewhat behind
its neighbors in yieid. and in the vicin
ity of Connell the crop will be smaller
than that of last year. Farther east
the outlook Is more favorable, and at
Eltopla the prospects are excellent.
The best crops in this county He along
the line of the O. R. & N. Klickitat
county, which has always been in Port
land territory, gives promise of a very
good yield, with some Increase in acre
age Not only will the outturn be
much greater than that of a year ago
but the quality will be far above the
average.
The Horse Heaven country, lying
Just across the Columbia from the river
counties In Oregon, suffered from the
dry weather that cut down the Oregon
yield.. Spring wheat in this district Is
almost a total failure, but some of the
W Inter wheat will make a fair crop
Asotin County was also in the rain
belt and promises to turn off a crop
that may break records. No poor yields
are reported in the county, and on the
upper portion of Asotin flat estimates
of 60 and 60-bushel yields are heard
The crojs for the entire state of
Washington will approximate 36,000,000
bushels.
Idaho td Set Record.
Idaho has the best crop on record.
There Is not very much Increase in
acreage, and there is a big crop of bar
ley and oats, so that the wheat yield
may not quite reach that of 1907
Latah County will probably harvest
nearly 1,000.000 bushels of wheat, and
Nex Perce and Idaho counties will have
from 6.000,000 to 6.000,000 bushels
These estimates are only about one
half as large as some that are In cir
culation, but are the figures generally
given by grain men and railroad men
In closest touch with the situation.
They are believed to be ample for any
urprlses In the way of a greater out
turn. While the crop of the three states
will hardly reach the proportions of
the record crop of 1907. the prices at
which It will be marketed are so much
higher than those which prevailed two
years ago that It will bring into the
country many millions more than were
disbursed for the record crop. Details

CONDITION REPORTED AT 80
Federal Figures Given Out on
Oregon Crops.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 8. Crop report Issued today
by the Department of Agriculture shows
that the condition of Oregon Winter
wheat at harvest time this year was 80,
and on June 1, 1909, was 87. At harvest
time last year condition In Oregon was
86. The 10-year average condition at
harvest was 88.
Washington Winter wheat at harvest
this year was 90. and on June 1 was the
same. At harvest, 1908, the condition
was 79. Ten-year average is given at
91. Of the total Winter wheat acreage
in the United States 1.9 per cent was in
Oregon and 2.4 per cent in Washington.
The condition of Spring wheat In
Washington on July 1 was 90, and June 1
was 93. On July 1, 1908, it was 65. For
10 years the July average was 90. Four
and nine-tenths of the total acreage of
Spring wheat in the United States is re
ported In Washington.
The report does not show any Spring
wheat In Oregon, and. neither "Winter
nor Spring wheat returns are reported
from Idaho.
Y LICENSES ISSUED
PORTLAND HUNTERS AND FISH
ERMEN OBEY LAW.
Receipts of County Clerk's Office
From This Source $3 60O Since
Beginning of Year.
Since the first of the year approxi
mately $3600 has been received in the
office of County Clerk Fields from the
Issuance of fishing and hunting licenses.
To date there have been issued 2320 fish
ing licenses at 11 each; 282 combination
hunlng and fishing licenses at $2 each
and 658 hunting licenses at Jl each. The
receipts from these licenses are trans
mitted to the State Treasurer at Salem
and become a part of the fund estab
lished for the use of the State Game and
Fish Warden for the protection of the fish
and game of me state.
There has been considerable activity
among anglers in securing licenses, par
ticularly since .the trout season opened,
with the result that a good part of the
time of Deputy County Clerk Schneider
is occupied In this work. Fishermen who
are apprehended without possessing an
angler's license are liable to a fine of
from 26 to J150. The fact that a num
ber of arrests have been made and fines
imposed has been followed by a general
application for licenses from those who
engage In this sport. Under the provis
ions of the law. lads 15 years of age and
under are not required to pay the license,'
but may fish to their hearts' content
without fear of molestation from some
Intrusive deputy game warden.
Thus far this year only 658 hunting li
censes have been Issued, as against 6000
last year. This Is due to the fact that
the demand for these licenses does not
begin actively until the hunting season
opens. Beginning next month the de
mand from the hunters will be on. Au
gust 1 the season for buck deer opens
and It will be then that sportsmen wiU
begin securing their credentials. There
will be no hunting for does this year, the
season being entirely closed for their
protection.
SENTENCE WIFE DESERTER
Man Who Long Foils Officers Will
Receive Punishment.
COLFAX. Wash.. July 8. W. H. Mc
Nabb today pleaded guilty to the charge
of wife desertion. Judge Canfleld gave
the indeterminate sentence of three to
six months in the penitentiary at Walla
Walla.
McNabb deserted his wife and twin
boys at Thornton In December. 1907.
He was located in his old home at Knox
vtlle. Tenn. Deputy Sheriff Dalley was
sent after him. McNabb. while under
guard at the 'home of relatives, placed a
dummy In his bed and made his escape
before Dailey arrived. He then wrote the
officers a bold challenge to catch him,
adding! that they were not smart enough
At the expiration of Sheriff Ratcliff s
term Sheriff Carter took up the work
After running down several false "clews
he struck McNabb's trail at Walla Walla'
Wash.. Yakima and Butte, finally arrest
ing him at a sheep camp near Inkham
Idaho, just as he was leaving for other
fields. McNabb stated that he saw
Dally at Walla Walla and Ratliff at Spo
kane, and made his escape, as he knew
they were after him. McNabb's warrant
was the first ever Issued In Whitman
County for wife desertion. The case has
cost the county over (600.

COMING
CROWDS
Tourists From East Are Flock
ing to Portland.
HOTELS FILLED TO DOORS
Estimated That 20,000 Visitors Will
Be Here This Month and Many
of Them Are Looking for
Chance to Invest Money.
More than 1000 tourists, it is estimated,
were in Portland yesterday, en route to
or from the A-Y-P Exposition at Se
attle. Most of the week the leading hotels of
the city have been crowded to capacity,
and most of them have been turning away
intending guests to seek rooms at the
smaller houses.
The great Influx of tourists this week
represents in a measure the ante-Fourth
of July rush to the exposition. With
Independence day over and the Summer
vacation season now on in the East, the
real travel to the West has commenced
and It is estimated that if travel con
tinues In Its present volume Portland will
have been visited during the month of
July by from 16.000 to 20,000 tourists.
Look the City Over.
Most of the exposition tourists remain
in Portland from two days to one week.
These are persons who have no intimate
friends or relatives to visit and who are
bent on seeing the country. Many, say
hotel men, remain not longer than two
days. Most, of those who stay but that
length of time take the trip up the Co
lumbia River to The Dalles one day and
spend the other day in the "rubber neck"
autos, the observation streetcars or in
private automobile parties viewing the
attractions of the city.
The auto rental agencies are doing a
big business with the tourists, as the
rapid transit offered by them enables the
travelers to get at least a passing view
of all the points of Interest In the im
mediate vicinity.
- Come Here to Invest.
That the hotel men and the business
houses which supply their tables are not
the only ones who are profiting by this
travel is Indicated by one or two char
acteristic Incidents of the tourist season
that have occurred within the last few
days. At the Nortonla Hotel are Robert
L. Clinton and J. M. Murphy, wealthy
mining men of Butte, Mont., who are on
their way home from the Seattle expo
sition. During their brief stay In Port
land Mr. Clinton has Invested In 180
acres of land near Cottage Grove, and Mr.
Murphy has made a purchase of 100 acres
on the Oregon City electric line. Hun
dreds of tourists who are coming West
this year are apparently bent also on
seeking profitable Investments In a new
and rapidly-developing country. They
are looking for opportunities to place Idle
capital, as well as searching for amuse
ment, recreation and Instruction.
The list of the after Fourth of July
travel reached Portland In greatest vol
ume Wednesday, continuing practically
unabated yesterday.- Eleven down-town
hotels were reported filled to their capac
ity, harboring approximately 2000 people.
The managers of these hotels say that a
large 'proportion were tourists from other
states.
Many States Represented.
In the hotel arrivals yesterday 30 states
aside from Oregon were represented.
These were North Dakota, Nevaua, Mis
souri. California, New York. West Vir
ginia. Ohio, South Dakota, Illinois, Ne
braska, Idaho, Colorado, Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Arizona,
Indiana, Michigan, Montana, Florida,
Iowa. Texas. Massachusetts. V.tah, New
Jersey. Washington, Minnesota, Louisi
ana and Kansas. In aduitlon there were
travelers here from Ontario, Manitoba,
British Columbia and the Hawallian Is
lands. Indications point rather to an increase
in tourist travel from now until late In
September, rather than a decrease. That
the season Is yet early is shown by the
fact that the parties that have engaged
special cars or trains from Eastern points
to the West are coming later In the year,
and .a guess that Portland will be visited
this Summer by not less than 75.000 peo
ple from states east of Idaho and south
of Oregon's southern line la probably not
far out of the way.
At the present time the four trains each
way daily between Portland and Seattle
are invariably crowded. Hotel men are
taking pains to advise their guests who
are going through to Seattle to engage
berths or parlor car seats a day or two
in advance. Those who wait until their
Intended day of departure to make res
ervations are likely to travel in discom- ,
fort or be compelled to defer that portion
of their Journey another day or two.
MANY SIGHTSEERS ARE HERE
Great Increase Shown In Number of
Tourists Now Visiting Portland.
More than 78 per cent more people are
being carried on the "seeing Portland"
cars than was the case a year ago. This
as much as anything else is a striking
Indication of the number of tourists
spending a few days . In Portland. The
hotels seemed to be just as full a year
ago and Just as enthusiastic reports were
turned out by the railroads, but there
has been no such startling Indication
sues as this of the enormous volume of
traffic of a tourist nature that Is passing
through the city.
Each car Is running double according
to Portland -Railway, Light & Power
Company officials and often there is not
sufficient accommodation. On Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays many people are
left behind.
Estimates place the number of people
coming Into Portland dally from the East
at about 1500. . This la exclusive of the
large number of private parties", given
sometime ago in The Oregonian, that ar
rive in the morning and depart before
night. Were these to be Included the
dally average would be increased 25 per
cent.
Northern Pacific railroad officials say
about 3000 people a day enter over their
lines. W. A. Robblns yesterday said No.
8. on one trip this week carried out 1000
tourists alone destined for Eastern points.
Many of the visitors merely pass through
the city without stopping a night and in
compiling the daily average of 1500 atten
tion was only paid to those who passed
one or more nights In the city.
m?arrlman estlrnate are Just as high.
There appears to be no actual figures of
the traffic kept by any of the roads and
estimates at the best can be obtained.

BERG AND YOUSIFF FINISH
TRAINING FOR MATCH.
Heavy-weight Wrestlers Say They
Are in Fine Fettle for Their Con
test at Exposition Rink Tonight.
John Berg and Big Yousiff. the Turk,
will wrestle at Exposition Rink tonight.
Both men are in the pink of condition.
The preliminary event will be started at
8:30 o'clock, and the main event will
commence immediately after the cur
tain raiser Is over.
Berg and Youslff completed their
training yesterday and announced last
night that they were In fine fettle.
"My ankle that bothered me so much
last Winter and handicapped my work,
is all right now," said Berg. "There

holds up. as though there had never
uccu nujimng me matter with It. I
made a better showing against Roller
than my opponent did, I think, and
that Is one of the reasons why I know
that I can beat him tonight."
Yousiff talks 4n the same vein as Berg.
He is as big as all outdoors with his
native costume on, and has created a lot
of comment stalking about the streets.
He Is a quiet, reserved fellow, who pre
fers to wrestle rather than talk. He said
the following last night: "Over in my
country the wrestlers don't say much
about what they are going to do. Some
times they do not do it, and then they
do not feel Just right. I am always in
very good condition. We wrestle in our
bare feet in oru own country, and I think
that that will be something new here In
Portland. We have always wrestled that
way and I will not make any change now.
I believe I can defeat my opponent, and
that Is enough."
Jack Curley has charge of the match
tonight.
The preliminary event will be between
Walter Arndt and Chick Merrill. Merrill
is said to be a crackerjack for va light
weight, and if he beats Arndt he will
come out with a challenge to meet Buz
ukous. the Greek wrestler, who wrestled
a draw with Roger Cornell, the trainer of
the Portland baseball team last Sunday
night.
Indications are that there will be a
large crowd In the Expo rink tonight to
see the match. .

County Commissioners Have Been
tJrged to Prepare Plans That
"Will Call for as Much Local
Stuff as Possible.
There is a possibility that Multno
mah County's new Courthouse may be
constructed and furnished from base
ment to cupola with Oregon materials
and products. This suggestion has
been made to the members of the Coun
ty Court and Judge Webster Is Inclined
to adopt that policy In providing a new
building for administering the county
government. The idea at any rate will
be considered by the members of the
Court before further proposals are in
vited for any part of the work to be
done.
"It has been suggested to me," said
Judge Webster yesterday, "that the
new Courthouse not only be construct
ed entirely of Oregon materials, but
that Its furnishings also consist exclu
sively of furniture and ther equipment
manufactured in this state. I am in
clined personally to favor the sugges
tion. There is no question but that
there Is to be had right In Oregon all

You never knew such a cigar for a nickel. If five cents is

you've smoked imported cigars, try PUCKS and improve

can make more money out of any other nickel brand,
but he's glad to have you ask for PUCKS because he
can make most customers.

and certainly shall consider it further
with my associates."
. Members of the Court will meet to
day finally to consider the blda nnh.
mltted for furnishing the steel required
for the Fourth-street addition to the
present building'. These proposals were
received about ten days ago and have
since been checked over by Whidden

The successful bidder will not be an
