I ''WHssMsTT-
The past two days of the Chautauqua
have made many believe that there can
be' too much of a good thing, for the at
tendance has not come up to the expec
tation of the Badlers engagement; but
this. It Is pointed out. Is by no means a
reflection on these entertaining people,
but Just a case of where the public
needs a rest, and when It gets It it will
renew its Interest and patronage.
This morning's classes were well at
tended, everybody on the ground being
engaged in study at one or the other
divisions.
Hew Classes Spring up.
Several classes not scheduled have
sprung up, sdu ere very popular, me
most so perhaps being the lectures on
psychology by Mrs. Alice Weister at
Science hall, which are attracting
marked attention. The hall la crowded
to the door every day. Several experi
ments were tried with success today,
The subject of the next lecture will be
Man Limitless," which means how to
have a strong body and powerful men
tality.

and Is now pastor of the First Congre
gational church In that city. His lec
ture tomorrow: "The Strongest Man on
Earth" Is based on Ibsen's drama "An

SERVICE TO BE ENLARGED

the Portland field, the steamers from
tho orient will first come to Pua-et
sound to discharge inward cargo. Thence
they will go to Portland to discharge
freight for that port. 9
At Portland and elsewhere on the
river as occasion demands, the liners
will take on their first consignment of
outward freight, completing outward at
Puggt sound ports. Each vessel will
hav" about 26 days In which to dis
charge and load outward again. Asked
as to the disposition of the Portland
Asiatic's chartered steamers, Mr. Water
house said:
'We Intend to use the steamers of
the Portland-Aslatio fleet. We plan to
transfer two of them, probably the
Ilenrlk Ibsen and Strathlyon, to the
Australian Mall line Immediately. It
Is not yet decided what will be done
with the Hercules and Rygja, as their
places will be taken by larger and better
vessels In the oriental trade. ' However.
it Is likely that they will each make
another round trip to the orient until
other tonnage is available."
Asked why the Portland-Aslatio sold
out Mr. Waterhouse said:
A Merger for Economy.
"The reasons for this change are
entirely In the Interests of economy and
better service. In the past the two
rival companies have Interfered with
on another, not only as to sailing
dates, but In other ways. Consequently
It was ' determined ' that the two lines
oould be better managed by either one
or the other. ' As we were considered
the better fitted to taks over our rivals,
such an agreement was made, and we
purohased the Portland-Asiatic."
The steamers of the Portland-Aslatio
were chartered for uiree years, and
these charters have about a year yet to
run. Mr. Waterhouse . will keep these
vessels- until their charters sxpire, us
ing them to his best advantage In what
ever trade he requires ' them. As the
necessity arises he will secure what
ever additional tonnage Is desired, ft
Is understood that tho Waterhouse line
is under no obligations to the Pacific
Mall and Harrlman Interests by reason
of this deal, and the merger will not
affect relations at present existing be
tween the Waterhouse company and the
Harrlman lines here.
Australia Mall Use Grows.
Mr. Waterhouse, who established the
Australia Mall line several years ago.
reports that this business Is growing
so rapidly that an additional steamer
will be dlspatohed In August, October
and December each, and It is expected
to send 18 steamers during the next 12
months Instead of one vessel a month
as In the past While Mr. Waterhouse
did not state that this line would call
at Portland,- It - is known that he has
secured large contracts for freighting
lumber from the Columbia river to
Australia, and for this reason It will
be necessary for the Australian liners
to go to Portland.

Arrangements for the big parade and

evening there will be a general as

will be held In the Elks' lodge room, at
which several members will make brief
remarks, and instructions will be given

lodge No. 142, and visiting Elks, then
members of other fraternal orders, who
will : form on Seventh street, lmmedl-
cated by the government report, this
year's harvest In this section will In
all probability get closer to 126 per
cent That's a showing that any sec
tion oould be proud of even In a year
when every portion of the Pacific
northwest Is giving forth a crop better
than normal.
Harvesting Under Way.1
Harvesting has been started In most
section In a limited way, although op
erations .will not become general In
the flat section for at least another
week. In the foothill country the fall
sowing is quite green, although a few
fields are almost ready for the annual
visit of the combine. There are many
more combines In the county than ever
before. Quite a number of machines
will go into the fields for tho first
time this season. The number would
undoubtedly be greater were the har
vesting machinery plants In a position
to Insure .early delivery.
Like the wheat crop, the showing of
barley Is most excellent in the Walla
Walla section. The average showing
Indicates a harvest of 40 bushels, al
though the barley crop is much later
than usual. The quality of barley Is
unusually good and for that reason the
crop Is considered the best that the
county has ever presented.
Oats Wot Important Crop.
The showing of oats Is smaller than
usual. This Is due entirely to the de
creased acreage because the crop per
acre Is a record breaker. In the foot
hill section the production of oats has
almost been brought to a standstill
within recent years owing to the tend
ency of the grain to "foul" the soil with
wild oats, and therefore make It ex
ceedingly difficult to clear the ground
for wheat
Alfalfa is making the same heavy
showing in this section as has been
noted in all portions of Oregon.
Some fears are being expressed by
producers owlgte to the shortage of
grain sacks. On account of the de
pleted offerings, the price has steadily
advanced recently.
There Is a surplus of harvest hands
all through the Walla Walla valley, but
grain growers are showing no inclina
tion te depress wages on this account.
y;. Sir Problem Zs Ptios, : t; .
' There remains a wide difference of
opinion regarding the probable price
on the opening wheat market Many
are inclined to believe that the opening
figure will b from TO to t5o ; per
bushel, hut this is merely a guess.
Hill mustard, the weed that threat
ened for a time to ruin tho wheat crop '
of this section, will be no 'mare If the
present tactics of Walla Walla growers
and officials ars continued for a whlln.
There are very few fields where ther
Is even a showing of the dreaded plant v
and so far as can be ascertained not a
single field -has been abandoned owing
to tho ravages of the weed, while
there were Immense fields of mustard
all through the Walla Walla section
last season and large acreas were so
thickly covered with the Hill variety,
that the' combines were not set to work
at all. . i
