It Is Feared tha Oreat Wheat Crop WfQ

' Information ' has' -reached '' the United
states engineers office that fully 400.'
C00 bushels of .wheat will be ehlpped
from Asotin, Washington: to tidewater.
That town ia situated about Ave miles
above Lewlston, on' the Snake river.
if the river can be kept open to naviga
tion it wiy be ssnt by boat to Lewis
ton and possibly by rail from ithere, and
to do thla the government dredge Wal
lowa haa been placed in service.
' Reports from tha uppea river ssy that
the Snake Is at a lower stage than it
haa been been for years, and la falling
at the rata Or .1 of a foot every two
days, and it la now only one foot above
the low water mark. Before very long
It 4a declared 1t will be below the aero
point - Tf auoh proves to be true it is
feared that the ateamera plying in those
waters will have to be taken out of
commission. In that event It would be
necessary to transport ths araln eroo

almost, impassible roangif growers

falL But it' Is -supposed -that many
would wait until winter, when the river
would again become' navigable, before
undertaking to movs the crops. .
All the snow haa melted from the
mountains,- and there- la na - possible
chance for the river to Increase in depth
unless constant rains should fall. .but
f they never do at thla season In -hat
section, and so "the- probabtlitlea are
very, strong that the upper Snake Vlll

PYTHOMENE IS LOADED.

noon and Will fceeve Sown Monday.
Thla afternoon the British ship Pytho
mene, Captain Splvey, will complete her
lumber cargo for South Africa and will
probably move out into the stream to
morrow. A orew haa been secured and
It la likely aha will leave down the
river .Monday morning. She has ' on
board In the. neighborhood of L700.000
feet of Oregon fir. The cargo will be
delivered at Durban or Port Elisabeth.
The' timbers are unusually heavy and
unwieldy and a longer period was re
quired to put them on .board than had
been anticipated. The ehlpment le be
ing dispatched by , the North Paclfle
Lumber company. , .
With a general cargo the Pythomene
reached Portland from Antwerp on Feb
ruary it. When the freight had been
removed the vessel waa tied up to wait
for a charter. It waa generally sup
posed that ths ownsrs would hold her
hsrs until ths new grain crop made lta
appearance, but : presumably fearing
that ratea would decline they decided
to place her in the lumber trade. '
In the paat day Or two the exporters
have begun ' to arrive, at the opinion
that tha freight ratea are going to In
crease, end very soon at that It la
now generally believed that mora grain
cargoes will be sent foreign this season
than ever before in the history of tha
port If this idea la realised the ton
nage headed in this direction will not
