IihIIumIoiih Point lo SiiiuIK'nI Crop Production In Muny Yomu Grow ers Irfltif by Sharp Competition Anions Buyers lAirgce Acreage Next Year. llyman Cohen, market editor of the Portland Journal, has written the 'fol lowing: Gilliam county's wheat fields will vury more than ever before In size of yield. Some of the fields will range as high as 35 bushels to the acre, but It 1 not likely that any great number of Bueh great yields will be Hhown this season. From harvest returns now being re ceived by buyers and millers, It Is unlikely that Gilliam's fields will av erage over 15 bushels to the acre, and In some places the condition of the crop Is so bad thut the grain will not pay harvesting expenses be cause It will not be cut. Gilliam's Good Wheat. Samples of new wheat secured In tore show how short was the supply of moisture the past season. Gil 11am county Is noted for the good quality and heavy weight of her wheat, which Is usually the heaviest In the state. It has; been no troublo heretofore for Gilliam county wn eat to como up to standard of quality, for In a sense It was this section's grain that has set the standard. Sam ples thus far received from the fields show the grain to weigh much less than usual. Some of It Is run ning down as low as 54 pounds to the bushel, but once In a while an extra fine selection will run as high as 59 pounds. While the crop of wheat will be fully 15 to 30 per cent smaller than usual, owing to the lack of moisture, producers are not worrying" a wee bit, for In the financial part they stand to receive more money than even the bumper crop of a year ago paid them. At this time they are In the most fortunate of positions. Output Eagerly Sought. The exporters are fighting among themselves the coast buyers have It In for the foreign agents, while the large millers sometimes pay a prem ium of 3 cents a bushel In order to get supplies away from outside com petitors. With all It Is now a ques tion of getting the wheat, and not what the grain Is going to cost. The barley yield here will average 25 bushels to the acre, although In a few scattered spots the grain will not be cut at all. a J'rosppcts A roil ihI Condon, While the Condon district will not likely make the record for shipping more wheat than other primary points, as a year ago, the grain trade is not the least bit discouraged, for they say that such a season as the past pne will never occur again, at least for many years so unusual were climatic conditions. I'p to a month ago crop prospects of this district could scarcely be Im proved. Then .however, the rain famln became apparent, and there was not enough moisture to bring the plants to a successful maturity. Considering this lack of regular annual amount of rainfall, the crop of wheat now being hnrvested is wonderful. Ijirgcr Crops to Re Sown, The past season has taught wheat growers that they would be better Off financially were a larger crop of fall wheat sown. For this reason prep arations arc already under way for the sowing this fall of the largest amount of wheat ever put In the ground. It has been successfully shown this year more than In previous years that fall sown wticat does much better in this district than tho spring sown article; and soon the Condon section will be In the fall sown class. Whllo the soil of the light lands here shows moisture retention to a very remarkable degree, grain grow ers have como to the conclusion that It will pay them better financially were they to put all their wheat In the ground during the fall and take no chances whatever with possible rainfall deficiency. . Outlook Around Arlington. Harvesting is In full swing In the ectlon of Gilliam county contiguous to Arlington, and from present Indi cations the crop will not be more than half that of the bumper yield of 1907. Returns received here from the fields tell of yields that range from 25 bushels to the acre down to practically nothing, for some fields are so poor that It will not pay to harvest them. Local people have received ad vices stating that some harvested fields have run as low as two sacks to the aero, this Just paying harvest ing expenses, even at the high prices now being paid by buyers. Thus far tho wheat received from near by spots has weighed from 67 to 68 pounds per bushel, but as only a ngm Imil amount of tho grain has thus far been received at storo hero this esti mate of the weight of the coming crop Is very likely overdrawn to -a considerable extent. Much of the larger per cent of the wheat of this section Is of tlio spring variety, and this accounts in a meas ure for the smnllncHS of the yield compared with last year's record breaking production. To date there has been but a small amount of purchases In Arlington vicinity, for farmers have been too busy to sell, and on a rising market It Is seldom their policy to let go of their growth. The few sales report ed have been ut a range from 75 to 80 cents a bushel, the latter being the extreme top. While the competi tion at Arlington has not been very keen among the warring faction Balfour, Guthrie & Co., Kerr-Glfford & Co., and Campbell-Stanford-Hen ley company the trade expects big things to happen to prices when the crop movement begins In real ear nest NEW PROJECT ADOPTED, WHY SO WEAK?

I ALLISON'S LIFE WAS QUIET, LONELY ONE. Not a Dlood Relative Living Thou sands of FrlcndH Attend Funeral. Dubuque, Iowa, Aug. 7. The ar rangements for the funeral of Sen ator William B. Allison will be com pleted today at a meeting of his friends. There Is not a relative to consult, not a single wish to con sider outside of the desire of the host of friends In Dubuque and Washing ton and throughout Iowa. Alone, not survived by a blood relative and liv ing solely for the public service which he might perform, Senator Allison's last few days were a fitting climax of a lonely man's life. The Allison home today Is In charge of the few Intimate friends of Sen ator Allison. The house, draped In mourning, is fairly filled with flow ers, and the body of the aged sen ator prepared for burial will no doubt be laid In state for several hours later In the week. His funeral arrangements depict the loneliness of his later years. No relatives are present he has none. Friends vre there he has legions and It Is they who are arranging the obsequies over the remains of Iowa's distinguished senator who had pass ed his life so much In the hands of the public. Home life, privacy and quiet were all sacrificed by Senator Allison for the public welfare. !cnaior A;iison was more than ai public man; he was the public's man. He belonged to them. They will bury him as he would be burled, by throngs of his neighbors and friends. Elaborate preparations are being made to handle the enormous crowds of friends, not only from Iowa, but I from all over the United States, who will attend the funeral services of i the great statesman. Many of his col leagues In the senate will be present. Many of the officials from Washing ton are telegraphing to Dubuque! friends that they will be present. No I other man other than a president i will be more Senator Allison. honored deod than NEW RECORD AT PANAMA. Canal Diggers Throw Out 3,1(18.610 Cubic Yards In July. A special from Panama to the United Tress says: I Month by month the total excava tion on the Isthmian conal Is increas ing. A cablegram received yesterday from Colonel Goethals, chief engineer on the Isthmus, shows that the exca vatlon for July was considerably greater than for Juno, although the latter was almost a record In the ca nal work. The total excavation for July was 3,168,640 cubic yards, against 3,056, 976 cubic yards for June, and 1,087, 498 cubic yards for July a year ago. In the corresponding months this shows an Increase of 2,091,32 cublo yards. The average dally output for July, 1908, was 121,494 cubic yards, against 41,442 cubic yards In July, 1907. In July of this year, 1,847,173 cublo yards of material were removed by steam shovels. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Luraa Coun ty, ss. Frank J.

The Goshen Hole canal will be 146 miles In lengthy one of the longest canals In the country, and will water 150,000 acres of land. Including about 10,000 acres In Nebraska. The canal will easily carry water for 10,000 acres additional, which may be economically Irrigated by a pumping system. T!-.' reclamation service has al ways recognized the opportunities for the reclaiming of a large tract In the Goshen Hole, but has always hesl tated to recommend the construction of the Irrigation system on account of the vast outlay necessary before there should be any return, particularly In the early history of the service, when all the money was going out and nothing coming In. The fine character of the Wyoming soil, the large number of farmers al ready occupying lands along the Platte under the Interstate and other canals, and the abundance of water being stored In the Pathfinder dam, were nil presented to the government men with good effect.
