PBNDIETON. Or.. June 23. One hun
dred and fifty thousand bushels of wheat
were sold here today on the basis of 50
cents for No. 1 Club. In the county no
less than 200.000. perhaps 250,000, bushels
trere sold, the basis price being the same
In all towns. A few of the sales were
really on a 53-cent basis, some lots going
at 50 cents net, with 2 cents warehouse
and insurance charges against it paid by
the buyer. The great bulk of the wheat
sold will be shipped to Portland, though
some will go to Tacoma.
Rain fell In torrents this evening, the
storm lasting for two hours. It is re
garded as inevitable that considerable
wheat has been knocked down in the
fields and is so heavy and mature It can
not rise again.
NOT GREATLY INJURED.
Crop Situation In Clackamas County
Rnin. a Benefit.
OREGON CITY, June 23. P. M. Graves,
a Molalla farmer, says that Fall wheat
is not Injured so much as many growers
report; that in many instances the dam
age is vastly overestimated. He says
that the yellow or reddish color of the
stalks is due to the climatic conditions,
and that in many fields the wheat is re
cuperating from these effects. Of course,
there are exceptional fields of grain that
are, no doubt, seriously injured, and the
crop will be short. All the farmers agree
that the late rains have benefited Spring
grain, hay, vegetables, etc, and the in
dications are that the potato yield will
be immense. Farmers who pastured
sheep on the grain fields In the early
Spring months say that It kept down
the growth of weeds, and has benefited
the growing wheat.
Benton County Grain.
CORVAL.L.IS. June 23. There Is much
complaint among farmers about -the con
dition of growing grain. Fall grain Is
said to be more spotted than In many
years. Jn some cases where. In the early
Spring, the prospect was promising, It Is
now said that the yield is not likely to
touch 15 bushels, and may drop to 10. The
cause assigned by some is rust, by oth
ers a worm that works at root and stalk,
while still others aver that the trouble
Is due to the grain aphis. The preva
lence of the Injury Is quite general In
this locality.
Rain and the Silo.
SALEM, June 23. George W. "Weeks,
the Howell Prairie dairyman, says that
the recent rain did not hurt his hay crop
In the least. Instead of curing bis hay
crop in the usual way, he puts It In a
silo, and it does not make any difference
whether the rain wets it or not. In fact,
he began mowing his vetches while the
rain was falling. He has 0 tons of
vetches, and wi!l save it all. rain or ghine.
He says that he has filled his sllas while
the grass was dripping wet. and can do so
any time, if necessary.
DamaRe in Wautufrton. County.
HIDLSBORO, Or., June 23. The farm
ers are taking advantage of the fine
weather that prevails, and are endeavor
ing to save their hay that has been so
thoroughly drenched by the rains for the
past week. Hay that was cut before the
rains lias been badly blackened, and will
only be fit for cattle, while the hay that
was standing was beaten down by the
heavy showers, and in many instances
has commenced to spoil.
Sherman County Crops.
T(here will be an extra heavy yield of
grain in Sherman County this year, and
fanmers are beginning -to wonder where
their help Is coming from. Laborers can
gat all the work they want from, now on,
in Sherman County harvest fields, says
the Grass "Valley Journal.
The rain last Thursday and Friday all
over Sherman County enriched every in
habitant ?5 to $500 each, says the Moro
Observer.

SAVE BULL RUN RESERVE

A GENEROUS OFFER.
He "WH1 Personally Pay 130 for Ar

First Incendiary.
DUFUR, Wasco County, Or., June 22.
(To the Editor.) Public forest reservatlonr
are established to protect and improve tho
forests for the purpose of securing a per
manent supply of timber for the people
and insuring conditions favorable to con
tinuous water flow. The act of Congress
of February 24, 137, entitled "an act to
prevent Jorest fires en the public domain
provides,
"Section 1. That any person who shall
willfully or maliciously set on fire, or cause
to be set on fire, any timber, underbrush, i
or grass, upon the pubb domain, or shall
carelessly or negligently leave or suffer
firo to burn unattended mar any timber
or other inflammable material, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and,
upon conviction thereof In any District
Court of the United States, having Juris
diction of the same, shall be fined in
sum not more than $5000. or be Impris
oned for a term of not moro than two
years, or both.
"Sec 2. That any person who shall
build a campfire. or other fire. In or near
any forest, timber, or other Inflammable
material upon ihe public domain, shall,
before breaking camp or leaving said fire,
totally extinguish the same. Any person
falling to do so .shall oe deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction
thereof In any District Court of the United
States having Jurisdiction of the same,
shall be fined in a sum not more than
$1000, or be Imprisoned for a term of not
more than one year, or bcth.
"Sec. 3. That In all cases arising
under this act the fines collected shall be
paid into the public school fund of the
county In which the lands where the of
fense was committed are situate."
I am, and during the last two years have
been, tho Forest Supervisor In charge of
the Bull Run reserve, and the northern dis
trict of the Cascade reserve, and havo
learned from experience that much moro
Information concerning persons guilty oi
starting or causing the spread of forest
fires In the reserves can be obtained if
rewards are paid to the informers. There
fore, concerning " fires which may occur
in the territory under my supervision dur
ing the Summer of 1SO0, I hereby agree
to pay for information sufficient for the
arrest and conviction of the person or
persons violating the first section of the
above law one reward of $103; and concern
ing the violation of the second section one
reward of $30. Each reward to be paid
as on as the first conviction under each
section has been secured, and then this
offer ceases.
Tho rewards will not be paid from Gov
ernment funds, but from my own personal
means, and I will gladly make the pay
ments, because It Is my firm belief that
the destruction of the forests will stop
as soon as there are 013 or two convic
tions for willfully or carelessly causing
fires. T
BesWes the foregoing FedtToi law to pre
vent forest flres on the public domain,
there Is a state law for preventing forest
flres on Goernment stale or private
lands, and fines and penalties are pro
vided for tuny peram who wlHfully or care
lessly sets fire to any forest not his own
without thef consent of the owner. One
half the fine to bo paid to the Informer
and the other to the school fund. The
state wardens may arrest without wax
rant any person violating any of the pro
visions of the state fire law: The Federal
forest rangers are also appointed state
wardens by permission of tle Secretary of
the Interior.
Many persons camp in the mountains
and forests of Oregon during the Summer,
and It Is very Important that tlrey should
bo Informed of these laws In order that
they may know the necessity of being very
careful with their fires.
Believing that the preservation of th
forests Is a matter in which even- one
should be detply Interested, I tako the
noerty of asking 50U to publish this com
munication. W. H. IL DUFUR.
