A Narrow Escape. This morning while X. R. Wood was riding on a track speeder near the steel bridge this side 'of Perry, he was startled to discover that he was about to come In collision with an eastbound freight train, says the La Grande Observer. He saw the train Just In time to Jump from his little car, but not In time to either save the speeder or the load of fresh batter ies. In fact, he only escaped being struck, by a fraction of a second. The car was wrecked and the batteries demolished. The engineer saw that he was about to run down the speeder and attempted to bring his train to a stop, but the distance was too short As it was, t'.e train stopped so sud denly that Conductor W. A. Wade was nearly thrown through the ca boose window and sustained several severe cuts upon the arms and shoul ders. flora T mm SUES FOR TEHS UMATILLA COUNTY PAID MOST LAST YEAR.

Total Yield of Uio United States Tills Year Will Amount to $8,000,000,000 Largest Crop Ever Produced by Any Country in the History of the World Its Effect Has Been to Im prove Fiiinnclul Conditions. The greatest crops ever produced by any one country In the history of the world Is the estimate placed on the crop of 1908 In the United States by Henry Clews, the wizard of Wall street, and to this enormous crop Is due the rapid Improvement in the fi nancial condition of the country. Mr. Clews says: Financial conditions continue to show steady improvement, chiefly ow ing to favorable crop prospects, easy money and a more hopeful feeling In business circles. Our financial lenders and captains of industry are all becoming more and more optimistic In their opinions. De pression Is slowly but gradually dis appearing, and evidence of Improve ment are visible in the diminishing number of idle cars. In the somewhat better orders for steel, in a partial revival of building, and in a steadier demand for merchandise In many ' of the leading markets. Of course business Is still very quiet, and In volume much below that of a year ago. But the fact is true, nevertheless, that depression is wan Ing, and that we are fairly started on the road to recovery, wltfi no prospect of another panic in sight because of the thoroughness of recent llqulda tiona. It mav be some time before the activity of 1907 is regained, but the recovery should be more rapid than usual because the country generally 1 not suffering from over production as during the previous panic, and ere Ion our industries must restart to prevent an actual scarcity of merch andise if present contraction Is per sisted in. The most stimulating element in the situation at present Is the crop outlook. Our weather during the past two weeks continued favorable, and condition of the crops has 'correspon dingly Improved. The corn crop this year, according to present promise will yield 2,700, 000,000 bushels, which at the Septem ber option price of 62 cents would be valued at $1,700,000,000. The wheat crop, with an Indicated yield of 676,- 000,000 bushels at 93 cents per bushel would amount to $627,000,000. The ootton crop, which promises 13,000,000 bales at 9 cents, would yield about $600,000,000. The oat and hay crops now out of danger,, are record-breakers In quantity and qual ity. Last year these two crops were valued at over $1,000,000,000, and this year that sum will be further ex ceeded. All the crops of 1907 were estimated by the department of ag riculture at a valuation -of $7,412, 000,000 on the farm; and In view of the larger yield this year, and the good prices generally obtained, It is quite reasonable to expect that our farmers this year will produce new wealth worth at least $8,000,000,000; the largest sum ever realized In one year by this country or any other from agricultural products.
