WASHINGTON WHEAT CROP 29,200,000 BC
Whitman County Maintains Its Lead as
Banner Cereal Section.
The Washington grain crops of 191T are
estimated by Erwin T. Marchetti, field agent
of the United States Department of Agri
culture, as follows:
Bushels.
Wheat 29,200.000
Oats 11,200,000
Barley 4,930,000
In wheat production Whitman County
leads with 5.747,000 bushels, Lincoln is sec
ond with 5.110,000 bushels. Walla Walla has
4.130.O00 bushels and Adams 3,775,000 bush
els. Whitman la also the heaviest oats pro
ducer with 2,933.000 bushels and Skagit is
second with 2,130,000 bushels. Columbia
maintains Its lead in barley production with
1.340,000 bushels and Garfield follows with
1,100.000 bushels.
Reviewing the crop situation the field
agent says:
"Winter wheat Due to drouth unfavor
able Fall for seeding, and rotting out and
Winter killing in Douglas, Grant, Lincoln,
Adams. Franklin. Spokane, Whitman, Walla
Walla, Asotin, Garfield, Columbia, Benton
and Klickitat counties, the Fall wheat acre

years. The crop was affected by hot winds i
and drouth, reducing yields materially. 1
However, yields generally, although below
an average of ten years, were somewhat
above July expectations. .
"Spring wheat Excepting Franklin County
and small local areas within Douglas, Grant,
Adams and Lincoln counties (the large
Spring wheat district), the crop yielded ma
terially below a ten-year average due to
hot winds and a drouth season, although
the crop is better in these counties than an
ticipated during the damaging weather In
July, when absolute failure looked probable.
Many yields, however, are falling below later
expectations In this large Interior district."
CIBE BUTTER SELLS IN SMALL WAY
Extras Are Taken at 4SVz and -46 Cents.
E ggs V e ry Fi rm.
Local demand for cube butter developed
In a small way yesterday after a lull of
about two weeks. The announcement in The
Oregonlan that the city is preparing to open
a municipal butter market evidently caused
buyers to figure it was an opportune time
to pick up some of the surplus before It
was too late. Sales of extras were made at
45 H and 46 cents.
There was another advance in the egg
market with sales on the street at 4S49
cents case count. Some handlers have put
the jobbing price of selects up to 55 cents.
The local demand for poultry was quiet,
but prices were steady. An easier dressed
pork market is looked for.
CLARKE COUNTY PRUNE CROP CUT
Present Estimate Is Outpnt of Not to Ex
ceed 35 Carloads.
A survey of the dried prune situation In
Clarke County, Washington, made by the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway Com
pany, indicates that this year's crop will
not exceed 35 carloads, or about 1150 tons,
as compared with 109 carloads, or 3597 tons
in 1916, and 71 carloads, or 2350 tons tn
1915.
The long continued dry spell caused many
of the prunes to wither, which makes them
unsalable. These figures are a large de
crease over the expectations of a month ago.
Tokays From Rogne River.
The first Rogue River Tokay grapes were
In market yesterday, shipments arriving
from Merlin and Grants Pass. Lug boxes
sold at $1.25 and crates at $1.35. The
grapes from both points were of fine quality.

TRADE VOLUME CONTINUES LARGE
Hiph Costs Lead to Conservatism In Oper-
ations for future.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Bradstreet's Sat
urday will say:
Trade continues of large volume, but con
servatism as regards future buying seems
to be more marked and high latitudes to
which prices for materiuls as well as labor
have soared are causing .enough concern to
restrict widespread trading. There is a dis
position to wait and see how far Govern
mental price regulation will go.
Government orders, which flow to a vari
ety of lines, are more than sufficient to off
Bet recessions in what might be termed
normal operations. Allowing for the reser
vations noted, house trade is active, sales
by jobbers are good and distribution by re
tail dealers has been Improved by colder
weather.
The situation In the large cities close to
cantonments could hardly be better, this
statement being principally true of the
South, where operations are also animated
by the highest prices paid for cotton since
I860.
Stocks of general merchandise everywhere
are light, and this fact, together with the
high price of raw cotton. explains the
strong undertone witnessed in the general
textile situation.
Failures on Pacific Coast.
Reviewing the failure situation for the
first nine months of this year R. G. Dun A
Co. say:
On the Pacific Slope 1223 defaults for
$15,714,808 compared with 1378 last year
for $12,213,917 and 1719 In the nine months'
period of 1915. when the aggregate debts
were $16,890,981. In both Washington and
California fewer failures occurred than In
1918, the decrease In the latter being 83
and In Washington 72: hut In Oregon there
was no change. A sharp expression was re
ported In the Washington liabilities from
$2,949,535 to $5,384,823 and in Oregon the
amount rose from $3,459,792 to' $5,222,998,
these .changes far more than offsetting the
moderate contraction in California. Both in
number and Indebtedness, Improvement was
reported In manufacturing and trading, and
while there was but one more failure in
other commercial occupations, the amount
Increased sharply.-

Rumor at Courthouse Says State Engi
neer Will Decide Controversy In
Favor of Hoad master.
Pursuant to the agreement between
Roadmaster Yeon and County Commis
sioner Holman, reached at Wednesdays
stormy session, Herbert Nunn, State
Highway Engineer, yesterday inspected
the improvements that are being made
under Mr. Yeon's direction in the Co
lumbia River Highway near Shepperd's
Dell. Upon returning to this city, Mr.
Nunn declined to make any statement
as to the result of his investigations,
explaining that he would make and
submit a report to the Commissioners
in a few days. He returned to his of
fice at Salem during the day.
It was agreed by Mr. Holman at
Wednesday's conference that he would
abide by the decision- of Mr. Nunn as
to the feasibility of the work under
taken by Mr. Yeon, to which objections
had been filed by SSamuel C. Lancaster,
the engineer who originally laid out
the highway.
Rumors were current about the
Courthouse yesterday that the report of
Mr. Nunn when made would support
the contentions of Mr. Yeon, who main-
tains tbat the Improvement Involved f
in his controversy with Mr. Holman j
s both practical and necessary for
the safety and accommodation of the
traffic The same rumors were to the
effect that Mr. Nnnn had found that
he improvement not only would not
be detrimental to the highway, but a
real benefit, without impairing either
its usefulness or the safety of the
public.

FACTS
Waste
of Power
It is estimated that it re-,
quires from two to four
times the power to carFy
a ton over a bad road than
it does over a pood road.
"When the people of this
state fully realize what an
expenditure of power and a
waste of time and money
this means, there will be a
demand for good roads all
over Oregon that will be
hard-surfaced with
