The average estimate by persons
touch with the Turkish governmer
affairs la that the country has been
robbed of $200,000,000 through official
corruption during the past 20 years
Thin estimate does not Include the caih
squeezed from the people by terrorism
and blackmail, but merely the amount
of public money stolen bv officials ns It
passed through their hands.
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

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 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

a yield of 40 bushels to the acre is an
ordinary thing, while 60 and 60 bushels
are often grown. 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. The

HE famous founder of Methodism
was preeminently a man of heroic
and humanitarian ideals, whose
personal piety, beneficence and
high moral teachings deserve the
approbation of all good men.
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.

SAVE GAS by the "NEW PROCESS"
For economy of fuel and case and safety
of operation the "New Process" is in a
class by itself. 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

tioned and built for
service. Two popu
