10 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, JTXLY 1909. 9, i ' WHEAT YIELD TO BE EAR RECORD Reports From 350 Points Put Yield for Northwest at 55,000,000 Bushels. RECENT RAINS BIG FACTOR Prosgwots Much BrlRhter Than Few Weeks Ago and Though Bumper Year Will Not Be Kqualcd, Prices Are Much Higher. (Continue! Prnm First Ftace.) 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.

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. A cut-price shoe sale for people that are used to good shoes at the Goodyear Shoe Company. It U stated that there are 1T.000.000 chil dren In Russia who are unable to ret any education. r 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. WnlTINiSWlVORO 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 lSn't a bit Of nfLin anv' rrm-a , n .4 . 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. . TO SELL' $60,000 BONDS Will Raise More Funds for Towage and Pilotage.

A FINE ADVERTISEMENT 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.
