PAGE SIX. lilg Sale of Ijcwiston Wheat Yesterday the sale of the largest amount of wheat ever marketed In a single lot In this territory, and com prising the largest sale recorded up to this time In the northwest this eason, occurred yesterday when the Vollmer-Clearwater company pur chased 100,000 bushels of wheat from Daniels & Wallace, of Tammany, who are classed as the wheat kings of Idaho, says the Lewlston Tribune. The definite price received was not made public, but It Is known that It ranged from 75 to SO cents abushel according to variety. The lot com- prised mostly high-grade milling stuff and Is chiefly of the blue stem and Turkey Red varieties. The lot also contained some Salt Lake Club. Dan lels Wallace had 4000 acres In wheat and barley. The barley will not be marketed, but used by the firm for stock feeding purposes. steers and 2 M for cows. This Is equal to the quotation of last year and Is a half cent above the best market of two yeara ago. Estimate of Primary Law. The Yakima Republic sayi of the Washington primary law: The primary election of September 8 Is nothing more or less than two gi gantic conventions, one republican and the other democratic; held for the purpose of nominating congres sional, state and county officers and expressing the choice of the parties for United States senator. In each of these conventions every voter la a delegate. Every vote is cast se cretly. The county provides the bal lots of which there are two. Every republican calls for a ballot contain ing only the names of his own party men who are aspirants for nomina tions, and every democrat Is supposed to call for a ballot containing names of democras only. That Is about all there Is to the new system of nomi nating public oficers, except that where there are four or more candi dates for a state office, every voter must express his second choice as well as his first. Map Peddlers Are Fnkera. Another way of buncoing the peo ple developed last week. Some time ago a man came through Caldwell taking orders for maps of the state of Idaho. Quite a number of people In that city agreed to take a map which was to be delivered later. According to agreement and in a short time a man came around delivering maps and all the people who agreed to buy one took one and paid for it, but in a short time another man came along delivering the same map, claiming that the first man was a usurper and that he was the real man to deliver the map and had the original signa ture of the applicant and Insisted up on the person taking his map, which a large number did, thinking the first man was a swindler, when in fact from all that can be gathered the two men were In together to skin the public. As a consequence a large number of people are well supplied with maps. Caldwell News. Stock Prices Are High. A. V. McCarty, the stock buyer, yesterday shipped from the Lewlston stockyards 200 head of cattle to Car sten Brothers' packing house at Ta coma, says a Lewiston Item. The shipment comprised a train of eight cars. The cattle were In fine condi tion and were purchased In the Wal lowa section of Oregon by J. A. Kra mer. Mr. McCarty states that cattle are now demanding a very satisfac tory price. The quotation Is 34 for First Frost at Boise. The first frost of the fall faintly coated the ground In Boise valley early this morning and ranchers In the city today reported that the frost was evident all through this section, says the Boise Capital News. Fruit buyers who are In the valley now to take care of this year's crop state that they carefully Inspected many of the large orchards this morning and declare that no damage was done to considered a good omen to fruit men who claim that the fruit will now rap Idly ripen and be given color through this medium. District Tald Outlawed Paier. While rumaging among some old papers last week. Miss Anne Lang, of this city, came across an old war rant that was drawn in her favor for $50 by the city school board for serv ices rendered as teacher In the pub lic schools, says The Dalles Optimist.

The party left here In the evening, intending to stop at Hot Lake for supper and to then proceed to Baker City.

ENORMOUS OUTPUT OF YAKIMA FRUI. NEW AUTO RECORD INTO WALLOWA VALLEY A new automobile record was made yesterday afternoon from Joseph to La Grande, says the La Grande Star. A party of three mining men fron. Baker City claim to have made the run in three hours and 36 minutes. ThU Is given as th? actual running time. A brief stop was made at Elgin, but this was not counted In the running time. The distance Is about 75 miles and the road is partly mountainous, and extends through the Wallowa canyon and up the celebrated Wal lowa hill. This trip was made with a four-cylinder, 45-horse power Olds mobile. Five gallons and one rjuart of gas oline was consumed on the run. Thli machine, it Is claimed, is capable of I making a speed of 72 miles an hour. The trip was made without accident up to within a few miles of La Grande when a small rock wa struck causing the springing of one of the axles and Secretary H. P. James of the Com mercial club, takes exception to the statement made by C. H. Hlnman In yesterday's Republic In which that gentleman says Wenatchee shipped two or three hundred more cars of fruit last year than did Yakima, says the Yakima Republic. The statement is preposterous, says Mr. James. Taking State Horticultu ral Commissioner Huntley's figures as a criterion, Yakima county has about three times as many fruit trees In bearing as Wenatchee has. Mr. Huntley's figures show that Chelan county has 1,018,220 trees In bearing. Yakima county, according to Mr. Huntley's figures, has 3,142, 447 trees. Knowing the productivity of Yakima valley fruit trees, Yakima I people or any one else, knows that Chelan county could not by any means whatever, possibly ship more fruit than Yakima does, or as much The statement Is not borne out by the figures. Agent Ryeraon'g Figures. According to the figures of rent John Ryerson, Yakima county ship ped 7453 tons of fruit by freight last year. There is no way of ascertaining Just how many carloads that would make as different amounts are ship ped In cars. Yakima shipped 26 tons of vegetables of the small variety, be sides 6299 tons of potatoes. BETTER RESTAURANT SERVICE. I Under New Management St. George GHU Regains Popularity. Under Its new management the St. George restaurant Is proving a popu lar eating place and It gives every promise of continuing as such. At present the restaurant management Is In the hands of the ladles in the din ing room and the aervlce haa been much Improved. The St. George restaurant, with Its first-class modern kitchen and good dining room equipment, Is well pre pared to handle a splendid business.
