Those who predicted that thore would be a mark ed decrease In the ocean travel to Europe this summer and a large In crease In tho arrivals from Europe on nccount of tho St. Louis exposition, have evidently made a serious mis take In their calculations. The fact Is that the number of American tourists going to Europe this year is exceptionally largo, whllo the steamers from Europe by no means carry as many visitors bound for St. Louis as was expected. Con sidering tho fact that the St. Louis exposition is very little tallied of In tho East and not much more In other parts of the country makes It appear loss surprising that tho European countries show so little enthusiasm over the St. Louis fair. Many reasons have been given for this lack or Interest and the princi pal one seems to be that the manage ment of tho exposition made the great mistako of not advertising the fair In the proper way. The manngemeut seemed to bo un der tho impression that an undertak ing like a world's fair did not require advertising, but could depend upon Its merits. That was a serious mis take and It Is quite probable that somebody will havo to pay for that mistake of Judgm.ent. POSTMASTER FOR PILOT ROCK W. L. MATHEWS MAY LAND THE PLUM.

A heavy grain raiser of Helix says: "Tho early reports of tho amount of acreage of wheat damaged by tho late freezes were exaggerated; the Inter reports to the effect that but llttlo If any, dnmngo had been dono by tho frosts were not true, and between them you have the facts ln tho case." As a matter of fnct, tho largo In crease in the acreago of wheat cut foi hay ls wholly duo to the freezes, and the amount being cut for buy will averago 20 acres at loast, out of every quarter section. Tho farmers are cut ting from 10 to 40 acrja to the quar ter for hay and the average cannot bo disputed. The grain hay does not havo u ves tige of grain In It this year, tho frosts coming Just before tho grain began to form, and stopping development nt thut stage. This gruln hay Is yield lng about two Ions to tho acre. Chns. McAlavy is cutting quite a largo acre age. L. E. Ponland cut 25 acres of grain hay which yielded 65 tuns, with out a traco of grain In it. The harvest around Helix will bo fairly under way by the end of this week and the first of noxt, Undoubt edly the yield will averago 30 bushola to the acre, and the berry Is plump and tho quullty simply the best that over grew. The Banio grain raiser quoted above says: "Don't you luko any stock lu storie3 of wheat going -lo bushels to tho ntro. Individual acres undoubted ly havo ln the pnst yielded that much, and doubtless Individual ncres will yiold 45 bushels to tho aero this year, but there will always bo some portion of the same Held which will drop to jo nu- in'3 i ;r aero, and the average musi ue struck by nddlni; both flu- ures Into the total. There was never a tlmo. at least during the past 25 years, when anv large field, or any several fields In tho ueiix country or elsewhere In the wheat bolt of Umatilla county aver- uged 45 bushels to the acre, In my hum bio opinion, basing my Judgment or tho next 25 years upon tho record of tho past 25 years, there will nover be a field that will yield 45 bushels to tho aero."
