FEATURES OF TIE
T
SURPRISINGLY HEAVY
YIELDS ON LIGHT LAND.
Present Estimates .Indicate That O.
R. & N.'s Wheat Shipments Will Be
Cut In Tw While Northern Paci
fic Will Bare Nearly Norma)
Amount of Grain to Handle.
As harvest progresses In Umatilla
county several extraordinary features
are noticed by close observers. One
of the most surprising features of the
present season Is the heavy yields on
the light land In the north and north,
west portions of the county and the
reduced yield of the heavier land in
the center of the wheat belt
It Is now estimated that the O. R.
& N., which penetrated the heart of
the wheat belt, will have but half of
Its usual tonnage of wheat this sea
son from Athena, Weston, Adams.
Eastland and other shipping points,
while the Northern Pacific, which
penetrates a lighter soil district,
will have fully "5 per cent of Its usu
al tonnage.
As the harvest progresses In the
northwest part of the county the
yield of the light land is surprising
and proves conclusively that the
lighter soil will produce a crop under
gTeat difficulties, as but very little
rain has visited that portion of the
county this season.
Also the weight of the grain Is
surprising. While the yield has been i
i
.cut down somewhat, the wheat tests
all the way from 29 to 82 pounds per
httshel.

Manila Bay Hero Shocked to Death
by Electricity.
New York, Aug. 12. James O'Con
ncll, who Is said to have been chief
gunner on Admiral Dewey's flagship
Assemble Olympla at the battle of Manila, was
killed by electricity yesterday while
he was lying on his back making re.
pairs to the channel wall beneath the
tracks on Sixth and Greenwich ave
nue. He had been at work In the conduit
about fifteen minutes when the fore
man heard a cry, and, peering Into
the manhole, saw that something had
happened to O'Connell. An ambu
lance surgeon said that death had
been instantaneous.
It was half an hour before the body
could be lifted to the street, and
north-bound car traffic was tied up
for that length of time. The back of
O'Connell's neck was badly seared.
and as the bottom of the duct was
covered with water It Is thought that
a short circuit was the cause of his
death.
O'Connell left the navy recently
and had Intended returning to It In
month, it is said. He lived at Na.

Smut Fire Caused Immense Damage
Near WaltAnrg.
Instantaneous combustion caused
the loss of a threshing machine owned
by Frank McGhee and 200 acres ol
standing grain on the Mlnntck broth
ers' farm near Waltsbnrg yesterday,
says the Walla Walla Union.
Before any of the crew were aware
that the separator was on fire the
whole thing was a mass of flames,
which quickly spread to the surround
Ing wheat.
After a few minutes of futile fight
against the spreading disaster mem
bers of the crew gave up attempts
to check the blase. The hot, dry
weather of the past few weeks had
made the grain as dry as tinder and
! It went as If fed by oil.
The grain destroyed was of first
grade quality and was estimated to
yield 30 bushels an acre. Te entire
loss is placed at about $8000, which
Is partially covered by insurance.
APPLE CROP WILL. BE BIG.
Walla Walla Ordianls Expected to
Yield 500,000 Boxes.
Walla Walla, Aug. 12. Aithough In
point of quantity the apple crop of
this valley will not be much greater
this year than that of lust year, the
excellent quality of the 1908 fruit will
have a tendency to boost prices and
cause a demand. Figures of railroad
officials show that last year's pro
duct aggregated 450,000 boxes, about
half that amount having been shipped.
The estimate of this year Is placed
considerably higher, and In the neigh
borhood of 600,000 boxes will be har
vested. Fruit growers have paid spe
cial attention to spraying this sea

crops ever seen in this section will

DINED ON RATTLESNAKE.
Party at Jersey Hotel Found It
Daintier Than Eel.
Eight persons partook of a dinner
of which fried rattlesnake was the
principal dish last night at hotel in
Newhon, N. J., says the New York
World.
Those In the party were Mr. and
Mrs. William Erb, Thomas Erb, Frank
B. Allen of Barnesvllle; Mrs. C. J.
White and the Misses CJiarlotte, Car
ollne and Augusta White of Harri
son. All say the rattlesnake was very
palatable.
The snake was killed early In the
day by Mr. Allen. He hnd eaten rat
tle snake on many occasions In North
Dakota, where the natives call them
prairie eels, but to the others in the
party It was a new dish. Those who
partook said It was sweeter and dain
tier than an eel.
