Arerage Yield Will Run - Close to 25 Bushels to the Acre Lack of Moisture Responsible for Decrease Under Last Year. Because of th general feeling of un rest regarding Oregon's wheat crop this year, The Journal has detailed Hyman H. Cohen to make an exhaustive Invest! gatlon Into crop conditions. His articles will deal with probable wheat yields In the different section of the state, and the causes which have combined to ef foot Increases or decreases in production. By Hyman H. Cohen. Athena, Or.. Aug. 6. With fall sown wheat on the reservation going as high as 85 bushels to the acre and an average yield somewhere around 26 bushels, there is no cause to complain of this year's wheat crop In this part or Uma tilla county. While the crop will not reach the pro ductlon of a year ago, the yield Is so much better than expected a few weeks ago that there Is general rejoicing among the producers as well as the merchants. Money for Growers. With wheat going on an average of 25 bushels to the acre and the price going as fast toward the dollar mark a competition can put it, there will be more money in wheat-growing here than ever. A feature of speclil interest to grow ers this season Is the small height which the wheat attained. This is due entirely to the lack of sufficient mols ' ture and not to any deficiency In soli nualltv. The wheat throughout this portion of eastern Oregon Is not mora than two thirds the height of last sea ' son. Umatilla's No. 1 Wieat. This condition does not affect the quality of the grain, for lately received samples at warehouses show the wheat in ranirn hfltwppn 67 and 60 pounds to the bushel not a few topping the scales at the latter figure. This will put most of Umatilla's wheat In the No. 1 grade, nnd this section will be one of the few In the state to produce this quality of Harvest is now on in full swing and as the cut progresses the returns grow better. FIGHT TALK STIRS CAMP1). S. STANLEY (Continued from Page One.) passtnr through a hostile country. A practice march of some seven or eight miles was made bv each regiment. In the Third Oreeron the vanKiiard and sklrmldhlnir parties were under the i 'i m m a ri of Mninr Mav. A larKer force under Major Baker constituted the sup port or the vanguard, ana me rearguard was under the direction of Major Dun bar. Major Hammond of the Fourth commanded one hrlgade, and the other was lead by Captain Thornton. Just before the .departure for this maneuver the officers or the Third ustnea to a lecture on the subject by Captain Frank lin Gain of the Third lnfUntry, United States armv. His instruction was very peclfic. and his suggestions were car ried out to the letter on. the field. ' Several other lectures were delivered durln the day by various officers, prominent among which was the address bv Colonel Pavls of the subsistence de- Sartment. Colonel Davis is responsi le for the high efficiency of the camp bakerv. and the subject of his talk was Subsistence for Men in Camp and Bar Late in the afternoon the officers of the Third Oregon made a formal call upon General Brush at brigade head quarters. Wftlr the exception of the two officers engaged In guard mount ing, every officer of the Third was pres ent. XJentenant's Closs Call. One of the manv humorous Incidents of camp life occurred yesterday morn ing when Lieutenant White, battalion adjutant of the First battalion. Fourth regiment, received for the first ttme his mount. It appears that the horse was secured from a Portland Riding academy, where he had been used as a hurdle horse, and his education had been given with the vise of a bugle. When the lieutenant first mounted the horse appeared as docile as a truck horse, but a moment later , a bugle sounded, and taking that for a signal he attempted to hurdle the first ob stacle in slKht. It chanced to be one of the headquarters tents, and in u moment the animal as well as his rider was sadly entangled in the tent ropes. From this he went to another, and fin ally bolted down the company street and across toward the parade ground. Here the battle was fought out between horse and rider, and a few minutes later they returned for duty with the rider In command. ths tho The ward) for marked gallantry on field, .
