Condon. Or.. Ag (1 OlUlam county"" wheat field will vary mure than ever before In sta of yield. Borne fields HI range an high as S6 bushels to th acre, but It Is not likely that any great num- ' h.r ,.t .nrh hl vlolds will be shown this season. Fryn harvest returns now bring re ' celvea br buyers and millers It la un likely that Otlllam'a fields will avernge over IB bushels to the, acre., the small at average In years. Some of the fields already cut ara not going over six bushels to the ax:re. and In some places the condition of the crop la so bad that the grain will not pay Har vesting expense because It will not be cut. OUllavm's oood Wheat. Bmn1ea nf new wheat secured In tore show how short was the sunply of moisture the past season. Gilliam . county la noted for the Rood quality and heavy weight of her wheat, which Is usually the heaviest In the state. It has been no trouble heretofore for C.ll 11am county wheat to come up to stand ard of quality, for In a sense It was this section's grain that has set the stand ard. Samples thus far received from the fields show the grain to weigh much less than usual. Some of It Is running down as low aa 64 pounds to the bushel, but once In a while an extra ?Ine selection will run as high as 69 pounds. While the crop of wheat will be fully IS to 30 per cent smaller than usual, owing to the lack of moisture produc ers are not worrying a wee bit, for in the financial part they stand to receive more money than even the bumper crop of a year ago paid them. At this time they are In the most fortunate of posi tions. Output Eagerly Sought. The exporters are fighting among themselves -the coast buyers have It In for the foreign agents, while the large millers sometimes pay a prmf1im of 3c a bushel In order to get wppllea away from outside competitors, with all It Is now a question of irettlng the wheat, and not what tho grain Is going to cost. The barley yield hero will average 15 bushels to the acre, although in a few scattered spots the grain will not be cut at all. Prospects Around Condon.

Harvesting Is In full swing In the section of Gilliam county contiguous to Arlington, ami from present Indications the crop will not he more than half that of the humncr vl.dd of 11107. He turns received here from the fields tell of yields thnt range from Ifi bushels to the sere riiwn to practically nothing for some fields are so poor that It will not pay to harvest them. TOrnl people llHe received nd vices stating that some harvested fields have run as low as two sacks to the acre, this lust paving harvesting expenses. even at the high prices now being paid riv buvers. Thus far the wheat re celved from near by spots has weighed rrom 5i to OS pounds per nusnei. nut as only a nominal amount of the grain has thus far been received at store here this estimate of the weight of the coming i ron is very likely overdrawn to a considerable, extent. Keen Competition Expected. Much the larger per cent of the wheat of this section is of Hie spring variety, and this accounts In ft measure for the smallness of the yield compared with last year's record breaking production. To date there has been hut a small amount of purchases In Arlington vl clnlty for farmers have been too busy to sell, and on a rising rnnrket It Is seldom their policy to let -go of their growth. The few sales reported have been at a range from 7' to 80c a bushel, the latter being the extreme top. While the competition at Arlington has not been very keen among the warring fac tions Balfour, Guthrie & Co. Kerr Gtfford Co, and Campbell-Sanford-Henlev company the trade expects btg things to happen to prices when trie crop movement begins In real earnest. ill ASK REASON WHY llarriman on Trip West Will Meet Question Kc- ranliiiir Completion of Xcw Linos in Oregon Started Last Yoar.

Harrlmin will again be brought face to face with the partly constructed railroad lines that weie begun and ahundoned In re gon li.st year. I.ocul men In charge of these enterprise) have been dally expecting, for weeks, to receive orders to proceed with construction. Euch week the expression Is heard' "Well, next Wednesday, or possibly by Saturday, we will get orders to re sumo work." But time posses and there's nothing doing. The Pacific. Hallway ft Navigation company's line to Tillamook Is In such condition that the contractors mupt either pull out their equipment very soon or make prepira t Ions to leave It In the woods ull winter. Nothing can bo done to dispose of the construction outfits after the winter rains Bet In. The Hcaverton-Willsburg lino Is In Its Initial stage of construction. Con tractors had begun construction work at the Willamette river bridge for tho Beavorton cut-off south of Portland. when the orier to shut down came lust year. Ever since that time they have kept watchmen on the grbund, looking after the plant. The same con dition exists over the Tillamook lines, and the line from Drain to Coos bay. It Is said the llarriman management has been notified by all contractors that If orders are not forthcoming within the next few days to resume work or cancel the contracts the con tractors must leave their equipment and camps In place on the ground the entire winter at the expense of the railroad companies. This summer a number of contractors are practically Idle as a result of waiting from week to week for resumption of construction work nt full blast on the llarriman railroad projects. On his wav west Mr, Mammon is credited with having said that he is waiting for business to pick up be fore resuming construction worn on projected lines in the west. While busi ness Is good with the railroads, it Is not yet as heavy sn 19U6. and that year is credited by all railroad traf flo men with having been an abnor mally big year for tonnage.

The sessions of the convention will begin tomorrow and probably will last a week or longer, as much Important business la to be transacted. The affairs of the brotherhood, es pecially as regards the membership, are not In as satisfactory condition as the officers and leaders of the organ ization could wish. Steps will be taken at the present convention to bring about more satisfactory conditions. It Is hoped that an agreement will he reached with the Cnited Teamsters of America. The latter organization was formed aa a result of dissatisfaction with tho management of the teamsters' strike In Chicago several years ago.

The conservative element Is now at work on plans to bring about a per manent truce between the two bodies and hope is entertained that ultimately an-.unalKinnallon of the two mas' he accomplished.
