Cohen Pendleton, Or., July 8. Golden grain, blazing in the all-day sun, means to Umatilla county this sea son the greatest crop that this most noted of wheat producing sections of the country has ever produced. Uma tilla county has the biggest wheat crop in its history now ready for the reaper, the binder, the stationary or the huge combine. Waving In the sunlight today in all portions or this county there is not only a bulky wheat crop that will be the talk of the state for many years to come, but there is quality . that is called by one word supreme. MKANS MICH MOSEY There Is less wheat to bring the price discount In Umatilla county this season than for many years past and even though the price now available, or likely to be. Is much less than a year or so ago, still the wealth of this year's wheat production will be the greatest in the aggregate that old Umatilla has known, with the exception of the few brief sea sons during the war period. This season's price will be more satis factory to the grain grower than he has . been led to believe it would be, but there should be no disposition to hold for ex treme values, because they are not likely to be available.

Henry Albers, principal in the federal espionage case which has been fought through various courts up to the supreme bench during the last three years, was stricken with paralysis at his home in Milwaukie, Wednesday evening at 10 o'clock and is totally blind. Report of Albers' affliction was ob tained from the nurse who has been in charge of the millionaire miller since the stroke. Dr. E. A. Sommer, attend ing physician, had no report to make to day, although the nurse said that the condition of Albers was not improved. The paralytic stroke followed advice that Albers had been relieved of a three years' penitentiary sentence and the pay ment of a J10.000 fine through reversal of the supreme court's decision. Since then it has been announced, however. that Albers will again have to stand trial, the order for a new trial being ex pected momentarily. It is an open ques tion just how Albers' sickness will af feet future prosecution.

King George appears to suddenly have as sumed the role of principal mediator in the present Irish negotiations. The king received Sir James Craig, premier of the Ulster cabinet, at the Buckingham palace today. Following by only a day his confer ence with Jan Smuts, premier of South Africa and Intermediary in the nego tiations. King George's action, was re garded as deeply significant. Unconfirmed reports were immedi ately circulated that De Valera, presi dent of the "Irish republic," would be the next important figure to be invited to Buckingham palace. The king. It was pointed out. really took the first step toward bringing about the present negotiations, when, in opening the Ulster parliament re oently, he 'pleaded for puace -in Ire. and, urging the people of the island to "for give and forget." It Is known that George has been constantly informed of the progress of the negotiations, and following yester day's conference with Smuts It was an nounced that the proposed London con ference In which De Valera and Union ist representatives will meet Premier Lloyd George would be held at Buck Ingham palace. By David Lawrence (Copyritht, 1021 . by The Journal) Washington. July 8. Soldier bo nus legislation Is dead, at least so far as this session of congress is concerned. The executive branch of the government has warned congress that such a measure at this time would strain the nation's finances and add to the difficulties of the coun try's business institutions. President Harding Is more or leas committed to a soldier bonus. He Is on record to leaders of the American Legion advising them "not to worry about bonus." But he could not give it his approval at this time. HARDINt; FOLLOWED ADVICE Secretary Mellon of the treasury de partment, who has just written the sen ate a letter arguing against the passage of a bonus bill, had the full support of Mr. Harding before he communicated with congress. Mr. Harding was uitable to run coun ter to the advice given him by the treasury department and for the present at least the legislation will be deferred. Even without Secretary Melton's letter there was no assurance that the soldier bonus bill would pass both houses. The plan was to rush it through the senate, of course, and It may yet go through that body for moral effect, but it is doubtful whether house leaders would have let It through at this time. Mr. Melton's letter makes It easier, however, for congressmen to answer the demands of constituents for action on the bonus.
