By Hrman H. Cohen. - Condon, Or, July 11. OlHlam county , has started 1U record breaking harvest, and there is every Indication that a yield of 4.008,000 bushels win b gath ared. ' This will be 1.000,000 bushels greater than the record of 1907, which. , by the way, Tfrae the talk of tha entire ". wheat country of Oregon. Condon elation promises to regain Its reputation of being the greatest primary ' shipping point of the United Statee. "..This reputation was likewise made In : H07, when 1,280,000 bushels of the cereal was eent from this station alone. u Careful canvassing of- the situation f recently by leading Interests of this 8 city showed a total of more than 80,000 ' sores in wheat tributary to Condon. ' The crop of the. entire district will this season come close to the 15 bushel aver age, therefore It la salts easy to see where this city Is going to excel again . I as a wheat shipping center. . jrottSem fc&ft Does Wen. In the aorth end of Gilliam county, where there has been scarcely enough i wheat harvested during recent years to call It a real harvest, the likelihood is that tha yields will range dose to the - --' tS bushel mart. There will naturally be plioes la that section that will not , ' reach the average, but where there is ,- one of this character there will be a t dosen that will go far enough above It to make the average good and full. ' The northern end of the county has V always been the small producer owing ta the light character of the soil, as well j , as the general deficiency In the rainfall Tf-during normal years. " ' Ail the way up the railroad, theshow - lng ef the wheat this season is by far tfc tut known. -Not only will the aver age be better than ever before, but there has been a like Increase In the eoreag. Oitliam county's acreage-of wheat that . season Is at least a fourth greater than ''- aver before, and this, together with the prospects for the greatest yield per , acre Is sure to make the grand total a ' tew high one for this section. There seems no doubt that If Gilliam eounty - produced 1,000,000 hushels with the smaller acreage and somewhat less fa ",rft6IaproBpecls IrT 1901 this "season ' ehouid without falL-.naa-Ja-bsJiiier . , one ta Oats. South End Always Xas Crop. What IS true or the northern end of .. the county Is proven a like condition In the south end, where fair crops are generally the rule. In fact a crop fall ." ure in the south end of the county has ' sever been heard of since first tilling of - the soil. Tk rma In milium rnuntv r uni formly good, arid so little ground shows poor strength this season mat it can scarcely be considered. c: Tobsy Bret,, on Schemer Flat, Me SS00 acres in wheat this season that will reach the to bushel average quite easily. Klllburn Bros, In the same section, have 1000 acres that will run about the , ' same. Both have well filled grain that - will weigh out heavier than ever before known. W. W. WeatherforJ, In the ,.. same section, has 1000 acres that will go even better. The pospects are esti mated from SO to IS buehels, most In terests figuring upon the latter. Tha arant Wad. estate with 1000 acres of wheat near Clem station has jg bushels without doubt. -...Even yotty Bushels Talk Is Heard. J:-t-Rtchnmdrw1tlr-B0 acres Tn'TfiS cFerry Canyon section, has wheat that . the experts figure will go to the 0 bushel mark. This may be slightly over drawn on their part, but the average Is not ltkely to fall far below this. John u. .Richmond, with 160 acres. Is showing . exactly the same prospects. " Parman Bros., with goo acres, have some more of that 10 miehel wheat which Is expected to make a record for Condon this season. in the Goeseberry country, Albert - lngreen has 600 acres that will m all probability go to 2 5 bushels average. Harvest has started In earnest, and every acre out more than confirms the expectations of growers. Weather con ditions are ideal for the harvest, and If bo further trouble is experienced It will .be hard to get enough cars on the Con-o..-lon branch to take care of shipments.

(Falted Prrm feed WIN.) ... ... Des Moines, Iowa, July 11. -All Iowa today Is talking of the dramatis close Of the Republican stats platform con vention last night, when after nomi nating two Justices cf the supreme court, the convention sat down upon Governor B. F. Carroll, the only Taft man On the resolutions committee of II, and tabled his amendment to the pro gressive resolutions to indorse the Chi cago platform by a vote of 17 S H to S14H. Not discouraged, Carroll tried to have tha platform amended to in dorse "our national leader," but this was hooted down. Inadvertently Carroll. In his speech warning the progressives that they might lose- the . legislature and defeat Senator Kenyon for reelection If r they angered ths Taft men, mentioned the name of Roosevelt and a demonstration followed. Bandanas were swung, "T. R." banners were "unfurled and dele gates cheered a picture of Roosevelt hung from ths gallery for IS minutes. The platform is ultra-progressive, In dorsing presidential primaries, election of United States senators by the people, the initiative and referendum, and even; proposes to submit woman suffrage to a vote of ths people. One' plank attacks the Chicago con vention methods, snd absolves voters who refuse to. vote for President Taft.; Republicans are urged to support ths state, legislative and -- county tickets, but can vots as they please for presi dent with a dear conscience. - Following the convention S00 Roose velt men, nearly all delegates, held a Roosevelt meeting and issued a call for a stated convention to be held here July 14, at which time delegates to the third party convention in Chicago, and presi dential electors will be chosen, " Ths largest and most elaborate fish hatchefy in ths world is being built in Kansas at aa expense to that state of $150,000. : -, '"""' ' . 11 1 ' " ill 11 1 Tn rin r iSnill it ii i m in (k TAKE THE CAR TO Any Rose Gty Park car for that ideal suburb' Just beyond Rose City Park.
