Al though the Wyoming sheepmen have largely Increased the amount of wool over last year, because of prevailing prices they will receive a million and one-half dollars less for their clips this year than last. The average weight of the fleeces this year was approximately eight pounds. Salem Postofflce Leeds. According to reports received by Postmaster Farrar from the postal department at Washington, D.

Stanley had been giving ex- front of out before he entered the bucking con test, but he gamly hung on and rode "Beaver" to a finish after he had subdued "Old Steamboat." To Stanley belongs the honor of be ing the first man who ever scratched "Old Steamboat" and remained on his back, for the best riders In the coun try have failed to stick and scratch the outlaw. The Portland man weighs less than 120 pounds, and not only rode straight up, bat rode part of the time with his feet out of the stirrups and hli spurs dragging back and forth across "Old Steamboat's" sides.

JACKSON TELLS- OF CRATER LAKE PORTLAND "COWBOY" IS CHAMPION BUSTER The awarding of first place to Dick Stanley of Portland, Ore.', In the world's championship broncho-lbust)-Ing contest here today, and the treat ment of Ikusa POrdy and Archie Kaaua,. the Hawallans, who won first and third place in the steer rosing contests, will carry with them to their Island home the world's champion ship, has done more to overcome the Potato i 'amine in Asotin. There is a potato famine here and the man with the spuds should be happy, says an Asotin item. It Is difficult now to meet the demand, yet the price has moved up from one cent to 2 cents a pound. Ueople are unable to account for the short sup ply on any other theory than that In terest has centered In fruit growing and other lines this year to a greater degree than has been the case In the past, with the result that the potato acreage has been greatly lessened. There is also a scarcity of melons this year. Statement Is made that there Is not one melon this year where a carload was available last year. Gardeners have received a fine price for all classes of garden truck and the year has been a very prosperous one In that line. , Big Wheat Sales in La Grande. Saturday was the biggest day of the season as far as wheat sales are concerned. The total transactions for the day are- placed at 50,000 bushels, says the La Grande Observ er. One deal which helped to make tho day a record breaker was the dis posal of one lot of 35,000 bushels by A. B. Conney, the "wheat king," to the Island City Pioneer Mill com pany. Most of tb buying yesterday was done by the mills, although the warehouses along the Elgin branch took In a fair share of the grain of fered. The prices remain about the same as the last quotations given as the local market figures. This is a vari able proposition, depending on the grade, quantity and other circumstan ces. The present price ranges from 72 to 76 cents per bushel. The statistics of exportatlons from the United States to Germany for the fiscal year ending June 30, 190$, show a value of $276,910,223, against $256,595,663 In 1907.

"Crater lake !s the world's greatest natural wonder, and can be- made Oregon't greatest attraction. Thirty thousand tourists from all parts of the world can be brought to Oregon annually to- view this most pictur esque and beautiful wonder spot," said Colonel C. S. Jackson, publisher of the Portland Journal, who- spent the day In Medford with Mrs. Jack son on returning from a visit to the lake, says the Medford Tribune. "What is needed to attract this travel Is a good auto road, wide enough for teams to pass," continued Colonel Jackson. ' "The state of Or egon should aid in the building. The road will probably cost $159,900 to the forest reserve and the govern ment can be depended upon to do Its share In its reservation and park. "The road should run from Med ford to Klamath, and it should be made possible for tourists to come In one way and go out the other, a five- hour trip from Medford to the lake. "No other way can as desirable a class of people be brought to Ore gon as by making the Crater lake trip worth while. Millions of dollars will be left annually in the state by It, and It Is as much to Portland's Interest as any other section to help the work along. Medford, Jackson county, and Klamath Falls and Klamath county, and the entire state are equatfy In-1 terested In this highway and all to gether should) provide the funds. ' 1 Intend to bring the matter be fore the Good Roads association meeting In Portland next week and will endeavor to have the associa tion concentrate its efforts upon building the first of the proposed state roads to the lake, I am will ing to do all In my power to help advance the proposition, for I think the state has a fortune in this lake." Medford and Jackson county should organize at once to build this road. City, county and state should work together and begin work at once." Colonel and Mrs. Jackson were taken to Jacksonville and given ride through other parts 'of the val ley by Mayor Reddy. Both are en thusiastic over the lake and over the Rogue River valley and its future. Fire Chiefs Meet. Columbus! O., Aug. 24.
