A correspondent from Bend, Crook county, says: Every Indication points to a bump er wheat crop throughout this section of the state during the coming sea son. The heavy snow and rainfall have put the "desert" In such condi tion that a good crop Is assured with out irrigation.

Electric Line Commenced. Word was received In this city to day that construction has been com menced on the electric railroad back ed by the Hanford ditch Interests to run from Priest rapids, on the Co lumbia to Prosser. This It rather likely to start up a lively scrap in the lower part of the county. The elec tric road will have to come through Rattlesnake gap, and It Is understood that the Columbia River, Outlook & Northeastern railway Is desirous of covering the same route. Just how important a concern this latter la It is hard to decide. W. McK. Stewart, who Is supposed to be most of Outlook, is back of It as president and general manager. It Is capitalized at three millions, and Is some day going to run to Spokane, If It Is lucky. It was said today that both roada would make a strenuous fight for Rattlesnake gap, and there would be considerable excitement In the lower valley before long. Yaki ma Republic.
