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

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

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

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

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

Platte under the Interstate and other

being stored In the Pathfinder dam,
