The Pacific northwest will this sea
son harvest 75,500,000 bushels of wheat.
This is the second largest crop ever
produced in the states of Oregon, Idaho
and Washington. So far as the latter
two states are concerned, the 1913 pro
duction of grain is the greatest ever
ready for gathering.
Record yields of wheat are shown in
the light land sections of the inland
empire thla season. Only unfortunate
weather at the start of the season kept
the three states from breaking every
previous record in wheat production. As
matters stsnd, the crop Is most satis
factory when the output of the three
northwest states Is merged.
There never was a season such as th
one now closing. There was little evl
dence at the start of the year that such
an enormous production of wheat would
be shown. In fact the indications at
the start .were generally of poor char
acter. '"' i ''-. '' .
One remarkable feature of the pres
ent grain crop season is that the llgiit
lands .will, as a rule, produce even big
ger crops than the so-called "better
sections." This Is due to the, fact that
during the spring months a very un
usual amount of moisture was received

Washington, July 22. Lord Cowdray
of England and Jose limantour of Paris
and Mexico, aided by a syndicate of
European and American bankers, it is
just learned here, were behind the de
mands of Great Britain, Germany and
Japan which have startled President

Wilson from Mexico.
Diplomatists here and bankers of
Now York now recognize Cowdray-Ll-mantour
domination in Mexico and un
derstand clearly that Europe's demand
to know the Intent of the United States
toward its southern neighbor is an open
challenge dimmed up In diplomatic
circles by the terse inquiry: Has
Uncle Sam resigned?
Overflow of European disgust at the
inactivity of this government In the
face cf Incessant call for action, turns
out to be, in reality, a preordained step,
decided by ' the big financial clique
which recently undertook to finance
Mexico In defiance of Washington's re

owy government. The syndicate was
organized by Lord Cowdray and Senor

government are the first sharp turn of

Court Has No Concern With'

(SaUm Boreas ef Toe JoorniLl .
Salem. Or., July 12.--.The ' supreme .".
coutt today held that the Day bill. '
calling a -special referendum election .
for next November, is constitutional.1
The bill does not diminish or pervert,"
the referendum power . of the people. '
The legislature' had a right to antlci-
pate the possible invoking of the ref
erendum on measures it had enacted by -calling
a special eleotion to allow their
early submission to the people.
The opinion, which was written by
Justice Burnett, was handed down in
the Injunction suit brought by C
Llbbey against Ben W. Oloott, as sec- :V
retary of state. The Marion county cir
cuit court held that the bill was un- "
constitutional, and this decision is re

In the first place the court points out '
that if It should follow the doctrine
laid down in the Friendly vs. Olcott
case, known as the University referen- -dum
case, the "suit of the 'plaintiff .
might well be dismissed without further
consideration, on the ground that the
courts will not Interfere with the' po

But this Is passed over by the court,
which, goes into the merit of the ease.
The plaintiffs first reason for his n-
position is that the election is .ordered
