Walla Walla In Harvesting fe'0ver
Cent of Normal Cr 3k . "'
Walla Walla, Aug. I. Ha O ,.)f)-
erations throughout the Inlam empire
are well under way, but as yet no new
grain has made. Its appearance upon
the local market, and grain dealers
express the opinion that hauling will
not commence much before the mid
dle of next month, although some
small consignments are expected al
most any day.
The grain which has been brought
In to be tested has shown that there
are two distinctive grade In this
year's product. Fall sown grain on
the heavier land lnva.iably grades No.
1, while the spring sown grain on the
flat and In other light-land localities
falls below this and In gome cases be
low the No. 2 standard.
The yield for the most part will be
better than farmers have been ex
pecting, and between 18 and 25 bush
els will be the average yield. Of
course there will be many fields where
the yield will be considerably less
than this figure, but these will be the
exception and not the rule.
Walla Walla county, according to
estimates furnished by grain men,
will show up thlB year with a 60 per
cent crop, and they say we will be for
tunate If -the percentage does not fall
below this figure.
Farmers generally are quite op
timistic over conditions as they now
appear, and there will be many who
will meet with happy disappointments
In harvesting a larger crop than they
dared hope for.

REWARD FOR CECIL I1RITTAIN.
Father of Lost Child Will Offer One
Thousand Dollars.
Walla Walla, Aug. 1. More than
two weeks have passed since Cecil
Brlttaln disappeared from the tollgate
and nothing has been heard of him
since he wandered away and no new
light has been thrown upon the sub
ject for several days.
It Is possible that had Milan Laflin
not been accidentally shot while In
the search for the lost child, the boy
would now be safe with his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Brlttaln.
When Laflin was shot he was on what
he supposed to be a hot trail, and one
that would lead to the recovery of
the child. He stated that he could
have overtaken the guilty party by the
next day at noon. Undoubtedly Mr.
Laflin has good grounds for his suspi
cions, as he stated that if he were for
tunate enough to get well he would
find the child.
Mr. Brlttaln stated this afternoon
that he had heard nothing from the
Portland officers In regard to the re
port that the boy was seen In a gypsy
camp In that city. He is confident
that ihe boy was not lost, but thinks
he Is still in the mountnins some
where near the tollgate.
Cecil's father is arranging to offer
a reward of SI 000 for the recovery of
his child, and Is having a cut made
from a late picture, and as soon as
this arrives, cards containing a min
ute description of the boy, together
with his photograph, will be sent
broadcast throughout the country.
A telephone message received today
from Dr. Robinson, who Is with Milan
Laflin at the tollgate, states that Laf
lin is getting along nicely.

sold with less expense.

mill, Is now In Montana, which state
has always been a good market for
the Pendleton mill products.

weavers being In the number, have
