Pendleton, Or., Aug. 7. 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.

Harrlsburg, Or., Aug. 7. Since last
report it Is stated on good authority
that the hop crop will he considerably
less than was first expected, in fact
about one-fourth short, and possibly
even more. I ho acreage in cultivation
this vear Is over one-half less than
that of last year and that which Is
cultivated did not receive the atten
tion that Is usually given this crop.
.some growers nave staled that they
will not pick unless the market shows
a considerable increase over the pres
ent quotations.

tended to prevent the complete flllh

Great Dairy Country.
Brownsville, Or., Aug. 7 Harvesting
has commenced in this section. Nearly
all the spring gram Is bound. Grain
seems to be yielding well, and prospects
were favorable for a bumper crop of
spring oats until the last few days of
hot weather and winds cut the yield
down. There will probably be an aver
age crop.
The acreage In grain In this section
is not nearly so large as In previous
years, ana next year will he still less.
This Is fast becoming a dairy and fruit
rttwlng section, hundreds of acres are
being sown down to clover and thou
sands of fruit trees have heen set out.
Many farmers only raise enough grain
for their own use, and It Is only a mat
ter or time until grain will have to be
shipped Into this section for home con
sumption. Clover and fruits do well
In this section, and the farmer is turn
ing his attention to these products. A
few years will nrobablv see this section

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.

QUEER PATRIOTS
Corean Students Sacrificed Fingers

Over In Korea, where the rebellion of
a few thousand natives against the
harsh rule of the Japanese has brought
upon them at the hands of their mas

recently had Ro.thell up for trial before

Action of the Mackinac convention of

not have any official bearing on the

effective In bringing out a statement
from the I'nlted States department of

In response to telegrams sent by the
Oregon Development league, the Port

Dairymen's association to the depart

the Mackinac convention's changing tho
standard of solids In condensed milk,
the following telegram was today re
