The condition of the apple crop In
the east end is 110 per cent, says the
report. There will be no peaches be
cause of the cold weather of last
winter, but the pear crop Is 80 per
coat of normal. Tha acreage of to
matoes Is 116 per cent, with 110 per
cent condition.
The failure of the fruit crop In the
west end of the county Is entirely due
to last winter's severe weather, Mr.
Bennlon states.
: On the other hand a number of peo
ple appear convinced that Williams
was foully dealt with and his body
burned in a brush fire. Coronor
Brown who has heard several reports
Is Inclined to believe the murder story.
He will leave tomorrow morning lt not
sooner for the south end to make an
Investigation. He says he Is not sure
who has possession of the bones re
ported as found but thinks he csn as
certain where they re.
District Attorney Keator and Deputy

The murder story as given Involves
the wife of Williams and also another

CHICAOO. July 28. Wheat ad
vanced early on elmrt covering stim
ulated by reports of liberal export
sales over night but a weak under
tone quickly developed and the mar
ket dragged for the remainder of the
day. One estimate placed the re-
of prices, as the country continued to
offer freely and a great deal of the
selling In the pit was thought to be In
tliti nature of hedging. Cash prices
from 5c to 14 cents lower In all mar
kets. A neWfe bureau dispatch from
Washington said - the department of
agriculture estimated the 1920 wheat
carry over at 109,000.000 bushels.
which compares with private predic
tions of 150 to 200.000 000.
Corn The action of the market to
day demonstrated its susceptibility to
constructive developments, even
thnufrh outweighed by bearish funda
mental conditions. Hints of possible
damage In sections of Indiana, Ohio.
Illinois and Missouri, due to dry
weather, proved the 'main source of
uneasiness in shorts. Cash prices
here were 1 cent to 2 cents higher at
tha start but the demand was Insuf
ficient and the grain entirely lost
itler in the day.
Advices from the east Intimated
that the Argentine corn was becoming
a drug on the market there and Is still
bring offered freely at 35 cents under
the domestic grade. The liquidation
condition of the market should make
it responsive to the crop scares that
must be expected at this season.
Oats Had a firmer tone In sym
pathy with corn and helped by an Im
provement In the cash market. Spot
premiums were firmer at 1 1-4 to 1 1-2
cents over July for No. 2 white. A
I.ivui pool cable reporting merchants
sl'.otvlng more willingness to buy Am
erican clipped oats revived hopes of
un export demand to partially offset
the effvet of new crop offerings.
Airplane service from Portland.
The Dalles and I-a Grande to .Pen
dleton during the Hound-l'p was as
sured last night by Pilots Christie and
Newell, if a landing field is estab
lished here.
Mr. Christie and Mr. Newell, who
arrived by air route here yesterday
tip. m. from Portland on their way
to La Grande, are pilots for . a La
Grande corporation which will put
five planes into commercial service.
The plane was a Lincoln-Standard,
with a Hispano Sulse motor.
The pilots, forced to land . because
of running short of gas, expressed sur
prise that Pendleton has no landing
field. The machine, thought by many
to have been sent here to assist In
the man hunt, .circled over the town I
for several minutes before descent
was made near the state hospital. The

that has developed. A. series of
ferences behind closed doors in the
sheriff's private office and in the

this morning, the investigation of a
man alleged to know something of

oners en route to Monroe reformatory
in Washington and were left in the
jail over the noon hour by their guard.

Inexperienced possemen, who, it Is
feared, he said, would be shot by oth

is taken to portend developments. '

printed today by City Engineer Hayes
to be distributed to possemen not al

which the search Is In progress. They
will be taken out by reliefs tonight.
