the northwest generally.
Reports from .the wheat crop show
that It will be the largest In the history
of this part of the country. This means
that the railroads will be taxed to their
capacity to carry the wheat to tidewater
and the flouring mills. The pries of
wheat lp now .excellent, with every In
dication that It will remain high enough
to net the farmers a good profit. This
will not only bring money into the
banks but will have a marked effect. It
is believed. In reviving the lumber la

Reports received by lumbermen In
Portland Indicate' that the stocks of
lumber toerng carried toy retail yards all
over th ' country are unusually , low.
As soon as the .farmers "reectv their
crop money there will be a great in

indications pointed to a "dry" major

pendulum of results, which early in
the evening pointed to a "wet" victory,
later changing to an ntl-saloon tri

the "wets" early today, but It is not
believed the change will be sufficient

It Is estimated that about 480,000
