THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1 907. ILIi ILLS Grain Heaviest In 14 Years 150,000 Acres To Be Harvested. ' HANDS ARE BADLY WEEDED Preswit Crop Will Require Hundreds of Laborers Good Weight Averaged. A special to tho Portland Tele gram says: Harvest in Walla Walla county commenced to day, tho sec tion ready for harvest being In the vicinity of Prescott. By July 20 It Is claimed that all wheat will be out of danger ol damage of any kind. At present everything Is favorable for tho harvesting of tho largest crop of wheat in tho history of the Walla Walla valley. From every section of tho county comes tho re port that grain was never bettor. Although estimates of tho total output this season differ greatly, there Is every reason to bolievo that It will amount to 5,000,000 bushels. There arc 1G0.000 acre3 of wheat land In Walla Walla county, and if tho average an acre equals 35 bushels, tho total output will bo 5, 250,000 bushels. In many instances wheat men claim that tho average output will bo 40, 45 and 50 bushels to tho acre and others claim that It will be only 25, 30 or 35 bushels, but most of these estimates are based upon varying conditions in different parts of tho county. Tho largest wheat harvest this county has ever known was 4,500,000 bush els in 1902. One feature of the crop this year is that on the light land tho output will bo about as good as on the heavy land. Everybody concedes that all tho wheat will bo of good weight. Last year the average weight a bushel was from 50 to CO pounds, but this year it will not fail below 60 pounds. Walla Walla's main difficulty will be In tho harvesting. Laborers were nover so scarce and never before were wages so high. Roports from Eureka Flats are that tho crop there this year will bo as large, if not greater, than In 1802, the year of tho panic, when the crop was ruined by excessive rains after It had been cut and stacked in tho field. Of tho prospect for a crop this year, S. B. Calderhbad, general agent of tho Northern Paciilc at Walla Walla, said: "Never as far back as I remember was tho prospect for a record-breaking crop so good as It Is at tho pres ent time. I have just returned from a trip through Umatilla county, and from tho reports of tho .agents in tho northern part of the county and from Eureka Flats, there seems to be no time In the history of the country when such n. crop was predicted." M. S. Jones, local representative of tho Pugot Sound Warehouse Co., makes tho assertion that tho crop this year will not bo over 5,000,000 bushels, but It will bo of a better grade than was ever known, and consequently the most valuaMo in the history of tho country. "But," ho added, "unless there Is some moans devised within the next few days to find men to harvest this crop, tho farmers will faco a labor short age that will be serious." J. C. Scott, of tho Jones-Scott Com pany, of this city, claims that the crop on the light land will bo better than over boforo. Frank Dement, of Dement Bros., says that never before was tho country so prosperous as it will bo after tho present wheat crop has been harvested. BOATS WILL RACE FOR $100 A SIDE Launches ilunitn and Kpiess Will Itun To Lower Hay and Bnck. Tho sporting fraternity of Coos Bay will havo opportunity next Sun day to witness a boat raco which has boon on tapis for somo time, that is, between two now boats recently launched from local yards, and both of which are speedy craft. The Ex press, owned by Stephen Rogers, of Coos Bay, and tho Bonita, property of J. A. O'Kolly, will try conclusions that day, leaving Marshfiold as a starting point and going to Charles ton Bay, whero they will round the buoy. Tho distance is something like 28 miles, and should give both boats a flno chanco of showing their speed and satisfying a curiosity as to which is tho better boat. The raco is for $100 a Bido, and it is said tho stakes arc likely to bo Increased several fold before tho contest comes off. Anson Rogers', Jr., is backing the Express and Mr. CKelly pins his faith and coin on tho Bonita. DELAY OPENING OF VAUDEVILLE HOUSE Messrs. Hagar and Avery nrc busy arranging their vaudeville theatre on Front street for its formal opening. They wore disappointed In receiving films which had been ordered to come on tho Breakwater.
