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.

Outlook Around Arlington.
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.

On his trip west B. II. 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. Fr some
months railroad tranic men nave neen

and passengers la ud to the average

Is waiting for another high water mark
in general business the country over
before he again orders railroad con
struction work resumed In the Pacific
Northwest. Meantime he Is credited
with having made a bargain with
Oeorge Gould for completion of the
Western Pacific, another transconti

TEAMSTERS TRYING
TO GET TOGETHER
(Srerlnl rlsptfta to The JouranM
Detroit, Mich., Aug. S. -Delegates
from many cities throughout the I'nl
ted States and Canada arrived todav for
the annual convention nf the Interna
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters. 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. Ttie organ
ization then split Into two factions
which have been at loggerhenda ever
i-lnoe. 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.
England owns 00 per cent of tha
mileage of submarine cables, the United
States coming next with IS per cent,
