Greatest Primary Wheat
Shipping Point in U. S.
. North End Does Weil.
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.

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.

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,

TAKE THE CAR TO
Any Rose Gty Park car for that ideal suburb' Just beyond Rose City Park.
Here is a part of Portland that offers a beautiful spot for a home or a won
derful opportunity for an investment.
Parkrose is right in the path of Portland's growth, and yet you can tnry
an acre there for what a good lot costs you in other places. For a home it
means a beautiful country ranch right at the gates of the city, with practi
cally all the conveniences of right in town running water, lights, phone,
deliveries, school, stores, excellent car service, etc
Over 50 families are living at Parkrose now, and it's building up all the
time. This, too, makes it an ideal investment
Very soon these acre tracts should give way to lots, and the man who
buys a Parkrose acre today should reap a wonderful investment in a very
short time by subdividing and selling.
The term tre easy; every man can handle a Parkrose acre. Simply select
an acre, make ytrar small payments from time to time, and before you realirt
it you are in possession of some very profitable lots in this healthful beau
tiful part of Portland.
