Though many of the gruftlng officials are being arreated, the total number caught amounts to but a small propor tion of the known offenders, which In cluded almost everyone from top :o bottom of the official class From those who fall Into the hands of the authorities It will probably be fosslble to force at least partial re urn of the stolen money. However, sufficient warning was given by the country's disordered condition preceding the granting of the constitution to en able most of the thieving officeholders to get their wealth out of Turkey. The auddent shifting of the thieves' wealth out of the country ta evidently embarrassing Turkish finance and a . serious condition of financial string ency is imminent. Of the thieving officials who have fallen Into the hands of the police the richest and, until his arrest, the most powerful, Is former Director-General .

The Young Turk committee, which called upon the sultan today, demanded the punishment of these two men and alao or jNedilb fasha. who was recen lv recommended as Turkish ambassador to London, and of former Minister of War Rlza Pasha, who attempted suicld-s wnen he was ordered to resign and called on for a final accounting. t- TTTT ' '-ifff "aaaa . uu Jiuasw m r n i . iiiisswesjwpyi u u m.

The wheat harvest la now on In east ern Oregon and Washington. The bind ers have cut a wide swath close to th fences, making room for the lordly feet of the king of harvest machines. The big combined harvesters and threshers drawn hy teams of from It) to 2u horses, head, thresh, clean and sack the grain as they move over the field, dropping the filled and securely- tied bags five or six In a pile. The wheat crop In I'matilla eountv, which furnishes 1 per cent of the total output of the world, will not be as heavy this year as last on account of the somewhat unfavorable season for the growing of grain. Last year I'ma tilla county turned out 6. 0 0 0. 0(1 0 bushels of wheat, whereas this year it Is esti mated thnt there wil be an average of about 10 bushels less to the acre, mak ing a total of about 3.75i'.00n buRhds. Last year the prices were lower than they are going this year, fid cents being the highest paid, while this year the growers are already receiving as high as i3 anil ,5 cents, and expect more by holding the wheat a little longer. World's Bread Basket. Wheat is the greatest wealth pro ducer In this section, and farmers in eastern Oregon and Washington who began with nothing are wealthy today Rightly Is the great northwest, win-re the soil is peculiarly adapted to the growing of all small grains, especiall wheat, fast earning the distinction of being the "world's bread basket," At this season of the year large stacks of wheat in sacks are seen at marly every railroad station In the inland em pire, the product going to Intelor points, to eastern markets, to the orient and to Alaska. The first class wheat land in I'ma tilla county comprises about 150,000 acres, produces from 35 to 45 bushels to the acre, and Is worth from Ji'.u to J 1 25 per acre. The second class wheat l.ind comprises about 10(1.000 acres, and pro duces from 20 to 30 bushels per acre, and Is worth from I.15 to $50 per acre The cost of producing wheat In east ern t.iregon and Washington is froni 2; to 32 cents per bushel. The total an- nvial crop is mostly harvested b com- j bines, ready for the wheat hauler nt $2 1 per acre. During the harvest s ason ' 1.000 acres are cut by each harxest'-rj wh-re conditions are favorable From the middle of July until liccem- 1 ber 1 loaded with new wheat f-r the matk-ts mllfs of teams mav ,e sen ' orr.'- g in from the country surr - ir llt.g the t. wrng where wheat is grown Y : g,.n ' IohiIs of grain drawn bv four and :x horse- 'earns sre seen at all raiiwa sta tion", where the grain sti red in t'e warero use and later shipped out Ho Crop Failures.

Spring wheat under favorable conditions yields from 20 to S.-i hnshels to the acre. While this has been an unfavorable season for wheat In this section of the northwest on account of the backward spring and heavy winds, the crop In far better than was at first anticipated and there will be an average of two thirds of a crop. Reports from practically every wheat growing district in the United States Indicate a decided shortage in the grain crops, and this, coupled with a slight de crease In the yield In the west would seem to point to a continued stiff price. Buyers refuse to give any knowledge on the probable change In prices, and say they can not form any accurate opinion at the present time. Growers, however, believe that they will be able to get as high as 90 cents for high graHe wheat a little later In the season. SMAIX PA IjOI'SE CROP. Both Oats and Wheat Are Banning Far Ilelow the Average. (Special Mspatrh to The Journal.) Tekoa. Wash., Aug. 12. Harvesting Is progressing satisfactorily, and thresh ing has been started In a number of places in this vicinity. From reports up to the present time the average yield will he about half of winter wheat and less than half on spring sown wheat. Oats are verv riwr, and a great deal Is being cut for hay. In many Instances growers thought the wheat would produce nearly 6ft bushels per acre, but after threshing v find thev have or.lv about 20.

In one of his sermons he declares: "Without bread and wine the strongest bodies decay . . . bread and wine keep up our natural life"; and again when criti cising a book, published by Dr. Cado gan, he praises the use of fermented liquor as " one of the noblest cordials of nature." In a pamphlet entitled "Primitive Physic" he advises his followers as fol lows: "Drink water only when it agrees with your stomach, if not good small beer." During his lifetime he traveled into every corner of the British Islands, crossed the ocean to America, preached 40,000 sermons and drank good malt beer and wine, from youth to old age, dying at over 80, a marvel of noble fortitude, physical endurance and mental power.

Its cooking, baking and broiling qualities are the very best, and for durability it is superior to every other stove. Lvcry burner on the "New Process" is under separate control, and each is op erated independent of the rest, so that baking, roasting, broiling, stewing, fry ing and boiling can all be done at the same time, if desired. The "New Process" Gas Ranges are most conveniently ar ranged, well propor tioned and built for service.
