Court and Thompson Streets
E. W. M'COMAS MAKES SOME
TIMELY OBSERVATIONS.
Too Much Rain for Next Year's Crops
Fall Sowing Retarded Crops
Well Shipped Out Pollclts Discuss
ed in a New Light.
In the opinion of E. V. McComas,
one of the most prominent grain buy
ers of Eastern Oregon, and a resident
of Pendleton, the amount of wheat
that rolls Portlandward from the val
ley or the Umatilla, Walla Walla and
Columbia, will be curtailed during .the
coming season, because of the leak
Ago from the Willamette valley that
for onco gavo the first mentioned sec
tions to much rain. Mr. McComas Is
In Portland today on business, and in
speaking of the crop outlook, said
to the Oregon Journal:
Too much rain Is the cry this fall
and winter, where before the prevail
ing Inclination has been toward
drouth If it ever varied from exactly
what It should be. ThlR rain, com
ing at a time when the farmers should
have been engaged In sowing their
fall wheat, prevented this work, and
not more than CO per cent of the acre
age has been covered. Winter wheat
is always the best producing, and for
this reason next year's crop will be
short.
Well Shipped Out.
"The crop of 1902 has been well
cleaned out. Umatilla county produc
ed 3,500,000 bushels of wheat this
year. There is about 10 per cent of
this that has not been Bhlpped out,
and some of that remaining is al
ready sold. This same condition, both
as to shipment and superabundance
of moisture .applies equally to the
Walla Walla valley. Prevailing prices
have been good and the farmers, as
a rule, have done well."
Mr. McComas believes that the re
buke that was administered to East
ern Oregon through turning down by
the people of W. J. Furnish, the Pen
dleton candidate tor governor, is
alone responsible for the failure of
Judge Stephen A. Lowell to appear
as a senatorial candidate.
Viewed From Afar.
"We of the east side are viewing
the political battle from afar," said
Mr, McComas. "Wo had our little
fling and lost. Although we have not
yet sat down, we have gone 'way
bock,' and are Just "standing- Tounu.'
Of course, we take an interest In the
senatorial fight, but that Interest is
not particularly near home. I do not
believe the east side has a candidate.
I have never heard one discussed.
"Wool and wheat is attracting at
tention and energy over our way.
There is something real In that, and
it Is the realities of life. aftAr nil I
that appeal more strongly to the com-J
mon people." 1

Ridge, Ore., Dec. 19. This locality
is undergoing a siege of fog and cold
weather, the thermometer was as low
as 24 degrees above zero, but no wind
to speak of. Everyone is feeding yet,
some complain of no snow.
This locality has two 'phones; one
at Jack Baker's and the other at W.
O. Owlng's, the latter being put in
this week.
William Thornwald had the misfor
tune to have a load of straw upset
with him and sprain his ankle very
badly this week.
James Hall, of Gurdane, and Wil
liam Futter, of Uklah, passed through
here en route for the cattle fields with
their herds last week. They report
snow In both localities.
We feel a pardonable pride in
pointing to Pendleton's popular pur
chasing place, where popular prices
prevail on pretty polished parlor
pieces and a pleasing price proclama
tion puts plenty of these peaches and
plums in reach of poor peoples' pock
ets. Why pay higher prices for
poorer Xmas gifts purchased at other
places? At Rader's, of course.
