ground, impoperly stacked, which in conse
quence was badly damaged. , The second :
crop of alfalfa is better, as a rule, than !
the first .crop, as it matured under more
favorable conditions. The first crop was
kept back by cool weather, although mois
ture conditions were better than usual.
Fall wheat Is filling nicely, and much
more promising than expected earlier in the
season. . Some- fields are weedy, ' and in a
few localities they will not be harvested
on this account. The barley and rye har
vest has begun, and both crops are yielding
as good or better than expected. The wheat
harvest will not begin until about the first
of next month.
Corn, although still backward, Is doing
much better than it did earlier In the
season. With warm weather from now on it
will make a good crop. Potatoes are doing
splendidly, and no complaints are heard
regarding the condition of thif crop in any
part of the stats. Sugar beets and garden
truck also are making satisfactory progress.
Late cherries were Injured In the west
ern counties by the recent rains, and this
crop, except in a few localities, has not
turned out . as well as usual. Raspberries,
loganberries and blackberries are plentiful
in the markets. Peaches are rather scarce.
Apples are doing well, although Hood River
reports that the weather is favorable for
the development of fungus.

Albert F. Rhodes Says Parents Have
Died While He Has Been Held,
but He Will Ask for Former
Rating In Army Again.
OREGON CITY, Or.. June 19. (Spe
cial.) Albert Field Rhodes, a former
soldier of the regular Army, was in
Oregon City today working his way
to his home. Coyote, Cal., where he
enlisted September 27. 1901. Since then
his mother and father have died, ajtid
Rhodes himself has served 13 years of
a 50-year sentence in a federal prison
on conviction of murder a sentence
most unjust, if his story is true.
According to Rhodes, his career has
been most extraordinary. After enlist
ing he was assigned to duty as a pri
vate in Company C, of the Ninth U. S.
Infantry, and was sent to the Philips
pines. At .the end of three years he
won promotion to the rank of Commis
sary-Sergeant in his company, and as
such was stationed at a camp on the
Bandangus River, island of Samar,
when his troubles began. Seated at
breakfast one morning with his com
pany, several hundred feet from the
stack of rifles, his company was at
tacked by a band of insurrectos under
the leadership of Arondo Sheivio.
All bat One Killed.
Unable to get to their weapons, the
entire company, with the exception of
Rhodes, was killed, and Rhodes him
self was so severely slashed with bolos
that he was ten months in the hospital.
AVhen he recovered he was assigned to
duty with Company F. of the Fifteenth
Infantry. In the meantime Sheivio had
taken the oath of allegiance to the
United States and had been assigned to
dutv with the native constabulary.
One day, Rhodes says, while he was
walking near the hospital he saw two
Filipinos quarreling in the roadway.
While he watched, Sheivio stepped out
and struck one of the natives. Not
knowing of the Filipino's change of
heart and recalling only the massacre
of his former companions. Rhodes
snatched a rifle from a nearby sentry
and beat the Filipino to death. For
this he was arrested, court-martialed.
and sentenced to the 50-year term.
Tklrteentli Letter IVina.
For 12 years, Rhodes declares, he
wrote to the War Department, seeking
a pardon, sending one letter each year;
but not until his 13th letter had been
dispatched did he receive favorable ac
tion. He was at that time incarcerated
on Governor's Island, New Tork, he

We Wish We Could Feel Reasonably Sure That Every Good
Citizen of Portland Would Read This Message of Ours
Rather than display it in spectacular space and glaring type, we shall take the
chance of its being read by the class of people for whom the message is intended
The interstate convention of realty men from Oregon, Washington and Idaho has just come to its close.
It was an excellent meeting of men of the right type men with sincere purpose to serve their respective com
munities honestly and fairly. Had they not been men of that character they never would have been here, for this was
a meeting of members and possible members of the National Association of Realty Exchanges, whose ethics are as strict
as those of any group of bankers or merchants in the country.

The benefits which we personally derived from this con
vention must surely bespeak those which other organiza
tions experienced. But we are so enthusiastic over its re
sults that we desire to carry its message on to the people
of Portland, who are just as much concerned, though they
may not realize it, as any man who attended the conven
tion in person. ' .
First of all, these men who took part in this convention
are responsible, serious-minded, capable men. They have
to be, for they represent the Land that branch of business
which comprises over SO per cent of the wealth of these
Pacific Northwest states.
All the bankers, the manufacturers, the railroad mag
nates, the merchants and the professional men in this same
area represent but the other 20 per cent.
It is because of this responsibility that these men gath
ered together on the eve of what they believe to be a new
era of greater development in this particular section of the
country.
Every fact point to the logic of that prediction.
In the East millionaries have been created by the un
equaled prosperity of the past year or two. The greater
part of this money is a surplus in this country, for much
of it has come from foreign sources.
These men now find themselves with amounts of money
to invest which run into figures still unfamiliar to us.
A survey of the markets of the East reveals that the
same prosperity which has created their new wealth has
correspondingly effected an inflation of values on all
commodities, all stocks and all real property.
Financiers are reluctant to buy on a top market, so
these men began scanning this country to find that section
of the United States which has benefited the least by the
recent prosperity and where, therefore, values would be at,
or below, par.
Here, in the Pacific Northwest, they found it a yet un
developed empire as large as all of the New England
states a land into which Germany or France could easily
be placed, still leaving enough productive area to supply
sufficient food for the needs of any South American re
public. Here they found a country needing and only needing
the very capital which they themselves had to invest, in
order to come into its own and thereby create for them and
its people a still greater and almost inconceivable wealth.
It would be simply a case of supplying a much-needed
demand at the right time the basis of all prosperity.
Here they found a nation within a nation, which up to
the present had been forced to "mark time" in the march
of progress, awaiting only the day when, through adequate
transportation facilities, she could release to the world
the products of her .versatile soil.
These men were forced to realize that if they put their
capital to work in this Pacific Northwest country the
transportation problem could be solved and that, with its
solution, still greater fields would be opened for their in
vestment. They could not deny the fact that when Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho can dispose of all the products they now
produce new agricultural projects, new industries, will be
gin to tap the vast natural resources and up-to-now un
titled regions of this domain.
That these great capitalists of the East are looking
toward this land of" ours as their next step, is the talk in
the financial circles of New York.
How soon this will transpire cannot be foreseen. It may
be three months. It may be six months, but it must come
and it cannot be far distant, for buying just previous to an
advancing market is the handiwork of foresight "that
something" which has placed so many men in the fore
most rank of their chosen field to the wonderment of those
about them.
Have we, of the Pacific Northwest, that foresight?
If we have, it is now our chance to show it.
Our first step is confidence, which under present rapidly
improving conditions, every man should possess.
It is now up to US.
Let us all get in and work work hard then well be
ready when it comes.
