PILOT ROCK'S LEAH
. YEARS SUCCEEDED
BY OHE OF PLENTY
Freak Season of Rainfall,
; Which . Has Totaled 13.87
Inches Since Jan. 1, Has
Given Splendid Yield.
By Hyman H. Cohen.
Pilot R)ck, Or.. July IS. The won
derful showing of the grain crops In the
Pilot Rock section deserves, much pub
licity this season and more money will
be brought into the community than
ever before known.
An example of the wonderful" surprise
th present crop Is to. the public general
ly is the ranch recently bought by S. R.
Randall., just southeast of Pilot Rock.
The land was purchased for abdnit $17
per acre an.d this year's crop of wheat
and barley will about pay the full pur
chase price. Mr. Randall Jias 800 acres
In all, and 250 acres was sown in wheat
and in barley. The latter will in
some instances range -as high as 60
bushels per acre, but the ' average will
be full around the 50 bushel mark.
Seal Bain and Lots of It.
There are several conditions respon
sible for the 25 to 35 bushel yields of
wheat r.nd 40 to 60 bushels of barley,
but chief among them naturally Is the
excessive rainfall that the entire Pilot
Rock section has been treated to
during the rji.sent crop growing year.
During the past. few years the averago
precipitation in the Pilot Rock section
has been about 10 Inches, but this sea
son a total of nearly 18 inches was
received.
peculiarity, is that ihe. rainfall dur
ing the fall and early spring months
was below the average, while since then
a heavy increase has been shown month
ly. Since January 1, ami including July
11, the precipitation has totaled 13.87
Inches. The Kreatest volume of water
fell in May, when the total was 3.86,
and the Etmrllest since September 1 was
in Dc-cmbe.r. when only .88 Inch of rain
.fell.
All through the Tilot Rock country
the yields of whent and barley this sea
son are treat. While the acreage this
season Is lallier light owing to the ad
verse conditions of recent years, the
greater averages per acre will, much
more than muke up for It.
What Some Farmers Are Getting.
Frank Michaels, with 800 acres, four
miles east of Pilot Rock, will have an
average of about 30 bushels.
J. W. Etter has what is considered
the best growing grain in the entire sec
tion. He has a half section In barley
that will easily go 32 sacks to the acre.
In fact, some of the grain that has
been cut shows this average. The
weight is 105 pounds to the sack. His
land is adjoining fllot Rock on the
east.
"'"Douglas-Belts, president of the First
Bank of TUot Rock, has 1500 acres in
growing wheat adjoining the. town on
the west that will make the full aver
age. Carl Hemphill, four mils northwest
ofs-Pilot Rock, with a half section of
wneat, is showing one of the big crops.
His neighbors talk of fully 40 bushel
averages for him this season.
"M. O. T,ahue, five miles northwest of
Pilot Rock, has 400 acres in wheat that
indicates frm-80 to 85 bushel average.
Thomas Jaques, with about 160 acres
of wheat north of town, has another of
those crops that will go well to the 30
bushel average.
30,000 Bushels In Prospect.
A. C. Henderson & Son, who, by the
way, sb:d the land on which 8. R. Ran
dall is securing such a" phenomenal
yield, have 1000 acres of their own In
wheat, two miles southeast of Pilot
Rot k. that at present indicates 30
bushels.
Walter Wagner, with 600 acres of
wheat and barley, one mile southeast of
Pilot Rock, ,has bnrley that indicates
around to bushels. His wheat prospects
are similar to most others In the neigh
borhood. In the Nya section, where the German
farmers have been getting quite fair
v.elds during the dry years when the
Tllot Hoik sciion In general was In
straits, the indications are for a full
ZD bushel average. The Nye country Is
ptwnii seven juices southwest of Pilot
Rock. The soil is of volcanic formation.
The averags good yields there during
recent jeais were entirely due to the
excellent farming mthods.
Harvest has been well Ktarted here
and the initial returns are well up to
expectations.

SNOT PROBLEMS
Wire Tappers Punish Chief Ac
: ,cused of Holding Out on
- Fake Race Bet. '
New York, July, 15.As a (sequel to the
recent swindling of William J. Mason, a
real estate operator of Norfolk, Va who
lost more than 20,000 to fake wire tap
pers, the band of confidence men fell
out and-dne- 6" the mewha had tried
to cheat his confederates met with
dramatic punishment.
Believing he had held out $12,000 on
them, the swlrfUler's coworkers tied him
to a chair in a room, where he re
mained without food or water for three
days, until his wife was able to effect
his release after payment of 2700 to
his one-time associates.
"Dutch" is the name by which the
victim of fellow swindlers is known.
Until recently he was leader of a set
of wire tappers whose rendezvous Is a
cafe In Broadway. There the plotters
foregather to await reports. of scouts
who canvass the hotels in search of trav
elers who have much money and a. de
sire to obtain more.
Held Out $ia,ooo.
Mr. Mason plunged on a mythical
race and lost J8000". "Dutch," so a mem
ber of the band told a reporter, spilt up
the $8000 equitably enough and that was
all his associates knew of the trans
action until they read in the papers
that Mr. Mason had complained to the
police that he lost $20,000 inr all on the
'frame up;" $8000 in one lot and $12,-
000 in another.
None of the $12,000 had been seen by
'Dutch's" 'confederates, but they decid
ed to get some of it. They met him at
the rendezvous and told him they had
been "tipped" that the police would make
an arrest unless they returned some of
the money to Mason. They had arranged
to meet Mr. Mason, they said, In a fake
poolroom, the walls of whiclv were pad
ded lest a victim expostulate too loud
ly, where they would give Mason money
enough to pacify him. "Dutch," agreed
to go.
Nearly Beaten to Death, .
Arrivfng at the "poolroom," "Dutch"
Was met by a blow on the head which
knocked him unconscious. Whenhe re
vived he found himself tied to a chair,
stripped of his clothes, his body black
and blue from head to foot, and alone.
After three days an emissary of the
wire tappers known as "Irish Pat" vis
ited "Dutch's" wife, In her -flat in Har
lem. She was alarmed by her husband's
unexplained absence. The emissary told
her that if she wanted to see her hus
band alive gain she nYust give up a lot
of money. She realized on everything
she could lay her hands on and gave
$2700 to the band.
The swindlers then went to the Sixty
fifth street apartment and released
their One-time leader. They found
"Dutch"" nearly dead. His face was pur
ple and his tongue swollen The phy
sician who revived the man said he
could not have lived another day.
