A gentleman who has just returned
from an eastern trip said yesterday
that he was highly pleased to note the
big wheat yield In the northwest. Com
ing out he met several men who are In
terested in wheat and all of them as
0url htm that rust had seriously dam
aged Ihe crop In some of the middle
states. Because of this damage to
wheat those men looked to see the
pi'e go as high as $1.50. In many sec
tions the yield will not be more than
one-third of normal. The shortage
there will have the effect of sending up
the price, und Oregon farmers will
benefit accordingly.

At the meeting of the council last

tion to the fact that extra work was
charged for on nearly every street lm-.
provement put through. He wanted
to know whether or not tha property
owners could be made to pay this ex
tra charge. City Attorney Smith stat
ed that It wus Impossible to foresee
everything that would have to be met
In undertaking street ' Improvements,
and that, as only what was specified In
ordinances, resolutions and contracts
could be assessed to the proierty un
der the charter, the city would have to
bear the cost of extra work.

Judge Anderson yesterday afternoon
on a charge of drunkenness and dls

asked that leniency be shown him. It
appears the man was creating a dls
turbance and the arresting officer says
James Insulted him when he was cau
tloned to behave himself. Judge An
derson expressed admiration for any
young man who was trying to acquire
an. education, but seriously doubted the
expediency of such conduct as that
of which James was guilty. He fined
