WALLA WALLA WHEAT CROP YIELD OF THAT -COUNTY WILL FALL VERY SHORT of Instead of the Average Yield 3,7000,000 to 4,000,000 Bushels, th Farmers Will be Lucky If They Get 3,500,000. Walla Walla, Aug. 22. The wheat yield cf Walla Walla county, not long since the banner wheat county of the entire state of Washington, will-this season fall materially below the nor mal yield, owing to the damage done bj hot winds, and the "winter-kill ing" of much of the crop seeded last iall. The average yield of this county Is from 3,7000,0u0 to 4,000.000 bush els, but dealers who are in close touch with the crop conditions say they will be more than satisfied this year if the yield is even as good as 3,500,000 bushels. Crop Will be Short. The crop this year would havq been very badly cut short but for the fact that this has been an exception nl year for spring wheat and some of the farmers even go so far as to Bay that they would have been bet ter off financially today had the en tire wheat seeding frozen. The spring wheat which was sown to re place the "winter-killed" grain is do ing splendidly and Ib turning off as high as 30 and 33 bushels per acre of first-class clean wheat, the average over the entire country being better .than that of winter wheat Eureka Flat Goes Short. Eureka Flat, nearly always the best iection of t,he country is falling badly short this season and much Of the cut down in the grain yield is account for on the flat The aver age on the fiat is not much increased this season but other parts of the country report largely increased acre ages. At Bome stations In the country more wheat will be received this year than last, owing to considerable areas of land which was in summer fallow last season being in crop this year. The gain in acreage, however was not sufficient to overcome the shortage of the crop. Bluestem Going Out Much less bluestem is being grown in this country than formerly as it is found that bluestem docs not turn off as large yields as the Walla Walla wheat, which is coming into general favor. There has, until recently been a difference of three cents in price in favor of the bluestem which evened up the difference of four or five bushels per acre in the yield In which Walla Walla had the best of It; but recently the price difference has been cut down to one cent and as a consequence the bluestem is go ing out of favor. WILL TRY BURNS. Prominent Pendletonian Has Moved to the Harney County Capital. Elmore E. Purlngton, who has been engaged In the newspaper mer cantile and commission business In Pendleton for the past eight years, left today for Burns, where ho will engage In the lumber business. Mr. rurington thus returns to the scenes of his early life in Oregon, he, with the eccentric Abner Itobbins, who re cently died at Union, as partner. having established the town of Drew- sey, in Harney county, when that county was a part of Grant, soon after the Malheur Indian reservation was thrown open to settlement After the dissolution of the partner ship, Mr. Purington was connected for several years with the Lux & Mil ler cattle interests, as cashier, with headquarters at Harney City. The enterprise and Integrity of Ir. Purington, coupled with his thorough knowledge of that section, ought to bring success in his new lino of effort. He still retains resi dence property in Pendleton, and may after a few years return here to reside, at least in winter.

James Marston was quite badly blistered on the left side of the face during the fire in Hotel Eastern Wednesday. Mr. Marston was trying to save the horses standing in the barn and succeeded In getting out all except one. This was tied very secure and with difficulty the rope was released and the horse turned around and started out of the barn. He turned and ran back, stood up to the manger and perished when he was loose and could have walked out, even refusing to be driven ftay, . . The Officers, However, Are Not Idle Nor Discouraged, But Are Diligent ly at Work A Great Many The ories. No further trace of the whore' abouts of Al Coffer and his pal, the Freowator holdup men, has been found and the sheriff's office Is still as thoroughly at sea concerning their whereabouts as at any time since they so sudenly dropped out of sight after the holdup. The Last Trace. The last trace of tho holdup men was lost In tho Hudsons Bay couu try and all that can bo done now is for tho authorities to wait for them to bob up again before any organized effort can bo made toward their cap ture. Sheriff Taylor has been on the alert since first having gone after tho desperadoes to catch them, but his efforts have proven futile. Speculations. While thero is not any definite news of the whereabouts of the rob bers, and thoy may be many miles from here at this time, it is the sup position of the officers that they are still in the Hudsons Bay country Many rumors are afloat as to their whereabouts as was in the case of the noted Tracy, but when a rumor is run down it invariably proves to be a canard. It Is likely, however, that thoy are still in the neighborhood of where Deputy Itltchie s horse was found, as vigilant officers have been scouting the whole country where the robbers are likely to attempt to make their escape, and nothing has been seen of them. This being the case, it is possible that they are still lying in hiding in the Hudsons Bay country awaiting an opportunity to make their 'escape. This could be done with compara tive ease. Fruit and vegetables are plentiful in this country and the men could live there for weeks without ttracting, any more attention thai; an ordinary hobo. If this is their idea they will remain in the brush in the daytime and venture forth at night for forage until such a time they think the way clear for escape, Another Theory. Another theory is that thoy are be ing kept by friends. Coffer is famil iar with every inch of the east end of the county and it is likely he and his pal have friends who are keeping them hid and furnishing them with the necessaries of life. If this is be ing done it will be a hard matter to locate them. However, every effort Is being made by Sheriff Taylor and if the men do not make themselves scarce he is likely to swoop upon them when least expected. whero Bho attended tho grand lodgo of the Women of Woodcraft un her way homo Bho Btopped off at Spo kane to visit Mrs. Dial.
