Walla Walla, July is! With ' fair kles. a rising barometer, and every in dication ' of fair weather, harvest waa begun ' in the Walla Walla valley in real earnest yesterday morning. From one end of the valley to the other the hum of threshers was heard, and while not all the farmers were in the field, the grain waa - ready and - operations were not confined to any one locality. Never has the opening of harvest been - more ..auspicious. Rains' falling last Saturday night had put the ground In fine shape, and the wind of yester day had dried th grain in good shape. The weather ha, from the time of sow ing last fall, until th present opening of harvest been ideal for grain growing. , Returns- from the fields where har vesting was , being done yesterday, indi cate that the yield, which is - about average, , Judging - from - the f ieldr will be about 80 to 40 bushels to the acre. Foothill grain will return a heavier' crop. ' Condon, Or., July II. During the week several much needed showers fell in th southern and eastern parts of Gilliam county, but th northern end was favored ' 'With but on . small sprinkle. While these showers dam aged' hay which a few farmera had ly ing? on the ground along the creek bot toms, th damage was very slight, and on the whole the rain benefited GUI lam county aeveral thousand dollar. .' The rain in connection with the cool weather which w have been having is helping the grain to fill wonderfully and prac tically assures all wheat throughout the county of being No. 1. ' Harvest will he In full blast here about July1 15, when combined harvest ers and headers will be cutting some of the finest wheat ever grown in east ern Oregon. :' In the Immediate v'c'n'ty of Condon and Mayville the average yield I estimated at about 80 bushel to the acre, while aroilnd Mlkkalo, where the yield la short but the quality th best, it is. estimated at from eight to 18 bushels, in fact throughout the county wheat is a much better crop than was expected a, mqyth ago.

Oood stuff was never better thought of in the Portland livestock market than today, but for off quality tha demand ia not so brisk and In. instance prices re cently received were unsatisfactory to shippers, although they were -Hoed con sidering "quality ; and : th condition of the market '.

Just now the total run of cattle in the yard la hot at all liberal and if the quality waa there th trade would not experience the slightest difficulty In ' making both ends meet. No real top steers have been brought forward recently and killers say , they hav more thairplenty Of poor quality. These latter are generally unfit- for immedi ate slaughter and-' therefore are not eagerly sought. , , "s,'C-? - ' Stock Steer 8U Bathar High. ( ; ;-' " While stockmen generally are com plaining about the price obtainable for stock steers, still the value lately re ceived in the Portland yard have been rather high. . A Btill higher price would bo In effect were It hot for the. poor prospects for feeding the coming sea son. With grass scarce, bay scarce and high and ranges bard to obtain, atock men are not taking on any more feed stuff than necessary. Most of them are in faet getting rid of everything they can at satisfactory prices. This dumping hurts the demand for atocker to a considerable extent. -All HogV Tinding Bnyr. All the hog that can be poured into the Portland market in the near fu ture will find buyer at good prices. Folldwlng the absence of a run from Saturday to Monday, a total of but ,119 head of hogs arrived In the Portland yards todav, but none of the receipts were of top quality. ' Ordinarily good hogs are worth from 88 to $8.16 at this time, . while real good quality would bring, from 8.35 to 18.60 even better if the quality waa there-. V .
