COLLINS HAS BOUGHT
700,000 BUSHELS FOR
JULY-AUGUST DELIVERY
A million bushels of new crop wheat has been contracted
for at $1 per bushel or prices ranging in r.iat vicinity, says H. W.
Collins, prominent local grainman. Mr. Collins himself has
contracted for 700,000 bushels and believes the amount of con
tracting done by other houses will bring the total amount sold
already to the million mark or above it.
The wheat purchased by the Collins organization has all
been for export and will be handled through the company's ex
port connections. There is said to have been no buying for
northwest mills as there is no milling business at present. Aside
from the wheat purchased in this county, Mr. Collins has bought
considerable wheat in counties west of Umatilla but the bulk of
the grain secured will be from the Umatilla county harvest.
Wheat contrasted for Is confined to
grain that can be delivered during
July and August. In muny canes fann
ers have sold thot portion of their crop
they are sure of having ready for de
livery during the months mentioned,
The sale of so much wheat In ad-
ance of the harvest Is almost unpre-1
oedented but Is greated with Joy hy J
farmers who have contracted and by'
businessmen. Many farmers have con
tracted some or all of their wheat fear.
Ing thf market will he depressed afler
hr.rvest. Businessmen are glad of the
contracting because of money thnt
will he made available through the
celling.
It Is the view of Henry Collins that
the condition of the crop at present
JiiMttles belief the yield will he the
Ki'fttest ever known hre. There is
Mill some danger of damage but In
conquerable part of Ihe county the
i crop Is nearly made. The Collins Mill
ing Co. has renewed Its lease on the
Fanners l:lon elevstor and plans are
being made hy Mr. Collins to erect a
wheat warehouse at Kieth provided
rifht of way can he secured. The
warehouse will he designed to care
for grain tributary to Rieth and the
project calls for a new road connect
ing Rleth with the old hill road to
Fcho.

One man, who with his wife has
been here for several weeks and ex
pects to work during harvest, gave
vole? to the severest condemnation
rnd the warmest praise of any of the
tourists who were seen by the young
men.
"This is the Rnnnd-Pp town, you
know," he said. "Thev have roping,

Ihe Round-l'p is the best thing of its
kind iit the whole West. All the cham

He declared also that there has been
no stealing of any kind since he has

"Not much of a camp ground," he
rcplh..i to a question as to how the
Pendleton tourist park compared with

Happy Canyon Is now directly on

cial Association. Every member of the
association automatically becomes a

poration, the Commercial Association
officers and hoard of managers const!,
tt'te. the managing board for the show
Mid are responsible for its direction.
One of their first acts will be to draft
J. R. Raley for a continuation of his
work in connection with the show, Mr.
Haley having tendered h's resignation
to the old organization.
The above gives a brief summary of
steps taken last evening at a formal
meeting of Happy CaWon etockhold
rs. which developed Into a reorganiza
tion meeting. At the outset of the
meeting J. . Tallman, who presided
as "mayor of Happy Canyon." told o.
difficulties that had been encountered
and which required that a revival of
reorganization be staged. Most of the
former directors of the show have left
town and one has died. An effort at
a stockholders meeting had been madr
hut it was impossible to secure a quor
um nnd some active men connected
with the show were striving to quit
Mr. Tallman suggested that the show
be returned to the original basis ot
control by the Commercial Association
board of managers and that a share
of stock bo issued to each member of
the Commercial Association.
The suggestions made by the chair
man were all adopted by the meeting
which was well attended. A series ol
motions authorizing changes in the b
laws and Incorporation papers was
edopted without opposition. On tlK
leeal points involved Judge G-. W.
Phelps and' Fred 8!eiwer gave sugges
tions which were incorporated into ac
lion. Hy motion It was agreed tha'
hereafter 20 shall constitute a quorum
''or business.
There was discussion as to whethet
th Happy Canyon corporation would
be commvted or merged entirely int'
the Commercial Association. How
ever action on that point was deferrei'
itut sentiment expressed was for .keep
ing the separate corporation cxistant
because of more safely against possiltlt
damage suits should such arise. FOi
practical purposes however the tv
organizations will be one and the sum
as the new by laws will provide that
whoever serve as officers and board
members in the Commercial Associa
tion shall dutomatically be the man
ngers of Happy Canyon. Through th!
arrangement it is hoped to alway
keep Happy Canyon affairs on a work
able, businesslike bus's.
