The wheat king of Cmatllla county thle season Is W. P. Temple who will harvest about 65.000 bushels from 2.J00 acres of land. Mr. Temple's crop Is now half har vested and , his estimates from the amount now threshed l that he will have a total cron amounting to 66.000 bushels of No. 1 wheat, and It will per haps go over that f Inure. On some of his land nine miles north of thl cll the wheat is yielding more than last year, notwithstanding the fact that scarcely a drop of rain has fallen since early last spring. Mr. Temple'a wheat land lies north and northwest of Pen dleton. His will be the largest In dividual crop harvested In the coun try this year. The reduction of tbn holdings to 640 acres for each farmer on tne l matllla reservation has cut down the big farms formerly found on the reservation. Mr. Temple came to I'matilla 25 years ago jb mere boy and has accumulated hla Immense holdings by continued and intelligent farming. IID TREND AGAIN BE6IIIS U. S.

Wastv, An T Clearltiga Pendleton Farmers Got Kid of 50,000 Bushels at High Figure. Pendleton, Aug. 7. That the sharp competition- between the old line and Independent wheat buying companies Is coining money for the farmers these davs Is shown- by the rise in whe.it prices yesterday, says tho Fast Ore gonlan. Tuesday. August 4, 1908, will go down In the history of the wheat market In Pendleton as the day on which the price touched 80 cents for the first time in almost a decade. It Is esti mated by the buyers that about 50,000 ousneis changed hands yesterday a ternoon at that orlce During the afternoon yesterday the grain oirioes were tnronged with anxloua farmers who were closely watching the rising tide of the wheat market, who declared that they would sell at 80 cents If the market showed the least sign of weakening, but as it closed strong few crops were of fered. A rough estimate of the wheat rep resented by the farmers who ware watchers at the various grain buying oinces yesieraay ariernoon is placed at 2,000.000 bushels, and a cent bne way or the other meant a large sum of money for these men. Therefore the pulse of the market was closly watched and had a decline ef half ii cent been experienced toward the rloe of the day It Is thought the sales would have been enormous, but as there I was no sign of weakening, the farm-rs held on. hoping that the market would yet reach 85 cents This morning the price of wheat was reported at So cents, and large num bers of farmers were In the city to ta.ee advantage of anv change In the mar ket, but pratctlca'.ly none was sold dur ing the forenoon.
