Iirlcuka, which local authorities will
not allow to leave until they are given

Itussln Must llne a Fleet.
St. Petersburg, Sept. . 22. Cladet
says the Husslaiis will be, unable to
recapture Port Arthur, in the event
of Its fall, without having the mastery
of the sen, and urges the dispatch of
every available' ship to the Far Fast.
Including the Illnck Sea fleet.
It has been definitely decided and
agreed upon that the O. It. & N. com
pany will accept the offer of the state
portage and open river commissions
and In consideration of $3G,467, the
actual cost of making a new grade
for 21100 feet along the right of way
of the state portage road, will move
Its tracks back from the river and
surrender the right of way for the
portage road.
The stute has reached an agree
ment with the company providing for
the removal of Its tracks for the sum
of $22,'J37, or actual cost of the grade
and later, the open river commission
made a further arrangement with the
company whorohy its tracks would
be moved still further back, giving
the portage a first-class grade, the
open river commission giving $13,C30
for this further concession, this
amount being the estimated cost of
the additional grade.
This now settles the right of way
question for the portuge road, so far
as the O. It. & N. company Is con
cerned. Agreements binding this
arrangement and providing for the
payment of the price, will be signed
soon nhd nothing now seems to stund
in the way of the early construction
of the road, excepting the Taffe and
Seufert Interests, which are opposing
the condemnations proceedings now
In the courts.
Work on ohanglng tlio O, It & N.
grade will probably begin at once. In
moving the tracks back at that point
the O, it. & N, company can do away
with several curves and make oven
a butter roadbed than It now has.

KXPKCTS GOOD PRICKS.
K. W. MeCoinns Says He Fully K-IH-cts
Wheat Prices to Prevail.
"Rain at this time Is a welcome
thing to the average Umatilla county
farmer," said E. W. McComns, a
prominent local wheat buyer. "It
the showers continue, It means plenty
of fall seeding, and history teaches
us that the early sown grain ulways
produces the best crops. With a dry
fall the farmer Is obliged to postpone
his seeding until spring and thus runs
a larger risk of a poor yield.
"Moisture has been needed for the
past 10 days by the mujorlty of tho
farmers hi this section, hut it Is not
too late and I only hope that we get
u good souklng rain."
Discussing the future crop situa
tion, Mr. McComus said; "ImhI year
was a poor season; this summer hus
seen some pheiiomliiul yields, nnd
provided no unforseen conditions
arise, I believe that we should huve
good crops for ut least two seasons
more.
"The demand for wheat Is good nnd
It looks us If present prices would
prevail until the next new crop Is har
vested. Most of the wheat in Umatil
la county that remains unsold is It)
the hunds of persons who can afford
to hold tt."
