PENDLETON BEST ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE BY COMPETENT OBSERVERS, John M. Hill N Confident That the Palouse and Waslitucua Districts Have a Grout Future Ahead of Tliem, and That the Governineut Will Do Its Full Sluire Toward De. veloplng the Latent Water Capa bilities of That Country. John M. Hill, formerly register the Walla Walla land office, who was In Pendleton yesterday on business, declares that there Is no doubt but that in proportion to the population Pendleton does almost twice the busi ness that Is transacted In her larger rival across the Washington line. Mr. Hill Is engaged in general land business, and owing to his service In the government land office, la fa miliar with the large tracts of arid lands In Southeastern Washington. "There Is a great future for the Pa- louse and Washtucna districts," he said. "Almost the entire region em braced in Franklin and Yakima coun ties will one day be an Eden spot. The problem of water Is the only one to be confronted, and the manner In which the government Is taking hold, Indi elites that It Is one that is solvable." WHEAT AltOl'ND THE HORN. Presbyterian Fair.

Rumor has it that the American ship Shenandoah has been chartered to carry a cargo of flour and wheat from Portland to New York. All the shippers have heard the report, but while professing to know nothing of a definite nature, appear to believe that It is true, says the Oregon Daily Journal. The Shenandoah Is lying at San Francisco and could be got here In short order. She Is of more than 3000 tons net register and has an actual carrying capacity of more than 6000 tons. If she has been engaged for the business named It Is for the pur pose of assisting the railroad com panlea In getting the heavy flour and wheat shipments east. There has been talk for several months of dispatching cargoes around the horn, but the difficulty standini in the way of the venture, It was cited, was the lack of American ton nage on the Pacific coast. While suitable American tonnage is said to be scarce In these waters, there are a number of vessels of the description desired at San Francisco, and it Is generally believed that movement is on foot to place them in the flour and grain trade between the Pacific coast ports and the Atlantic cities. It la declared that such a course Is the only solution of the problem to deliver the orders that have aireaoy been placed for Pacific coast wheat and flour. The statement is made that the railroad companies are una ble to handle all the traffic, and being convinced of this fact many of the local flour dealers have not attempt ed to make any further sales to east ern buyers.
