Idaho Wheat Crop
" ' -
"Moscow, Idaho, Sept. 18. Threshing
is completed in the district and farm
ers are delivering- wbeato the ware
houses. With two large warehouses
here, much of the grain is handled in
bulk. Scarcity of cars has made it
impossible to move much bulk grain,
and it U being stored.
Sacked grain is being moved on flat
cars. The price has hovered around
90 cents since wheat was put on the
market, and it is estimated that about
50 per cent of the crop has been sold.
The yield was averaging about 18
bushels, about 50 per cent of a normal
crop. Farmers who are through haul
ing wheat are seeding summer fallow
and it is eident that there will be a
large acreage of fall grain.
It is, hoped that rain will fall be
fore ebld weather, that the winter
wheat may get a good stand before
winter. The ground is dry.

this one off."

blinded by the headlights. 1 threw on
the brakes and stopped. The buck
made a frantic dash to cross the road

venison supper flashed through my
mind. Then I remembered I had no
hunting license. So I let Mr. Buck
go."

Journal Special 'I
Is All Ready for
Let 'Er Buck Town
The arrival of The Journal Special,
the introduction of the "Let er Book"
company of writers and the appearance
of Tom Mix at the Pendleton Round
Up this week are three big events to
which folks in the Let 'er Buck city
are looking fdrward with almost as
much- gusto as to the opening of the
show itself, i according to Arthur" S.
Rudd. representative of the civic or
ganisations of Pendleton, who finished
a campaign here Saturday in the in
terests of the 13th annual presentation
of the Umatilla buckeroo classic
While here Rudd appeared before
the Progressive Business Men's club,
the Lyons club, the .Oregon Civic
league, the Credit Men's association
and metj with a number of --smaller
committees of Round-Up boosters. He
reports that he has found unusual, in
terest in the presentation of the fa
mous Western epic. "When the show
opens Thursday there will undoubtedly
be more Portland people present than
in any of the 13 years which the
Round-Up has been " shewn, he de
clared. ,
The Journal Special seems to be the
favorite way to go to the show, he
says. The special rate of $42.50, which
is $5 less than last rear and which
includes everything from the time one
leaves Portland until one returns, ap
peals to a large number of people who
do not-wish to bother with making all
the arrangements themselves. The free
auto camp at Pendleton will also xbe
popular among the Multnomah motor
ists, the Pendleton booster believes.
. 'The show Is ready and rat-in to
go. Portland has Its invitation. Let
'er Buck!" was the final statement of
the sd man before returning to Let
'er Buck town. -
