Farmers Are PnHlly Threshing Once More,
and Crowding the Work.
East Oregouian
"How many bushels of wheat were
threshed yesterday in this county?"
This question was. asked o( a well
known grain man today. Be studied
over tbe problem for . a moment, and
then replied :
"O, i:'s purely a guess. No one can
tell anything about it, with any degree
of accuracy. But, probably there was
not less than two hundred thousand
bushels. UDdtr average conditions, tbe
crop of this country would be threshed
out in no less than one month's run for
all the. machines wbicb are used here in
Umatilla oounty. And, figuring on
total crops this would require no less
than one hundred and thirty thousand
bushels a day. Probably, on acoouut of
the bad weather v.hioh -has prevailed,
tbe farmers are now 'putting in extra
time, aud running several hours longer
tnan oommonly is tbe custom And,
therefore, each good day tbe amount
threshed is considerably larger than
common. -'
"Now that tbe weather has oleared up,
no time is being lost, bat everyone is
rushing his work to tbe utmost."
Tbe Koodeiful cbareoter of this ooun
ty as a wheat raising section is being
proven. Almost everything has been
against the farmer. First, the winter
wheat was frr.zeo out. Then, tbe period
of drouth came on. Next, oame tbe bot
winds, whioh were supposed to have
wrought great damage to tbe growing
grain. And to cap tbe olimax, tbe rainy
weather set in long before tbe tim for
rain in other seasons, iaud cootiuued
until people feared that balf tbe orop of
tbe oounty would be ruined.
And, yet, the farmers are bringing
plenty of samples of icood grain to town,
and there wilt be marketed an immense
quantity of wheat, as much as would
constitute a proud record for any other
two oounties in tbe state of Oregon.
It was commonly said on tbe streets
here some weeks ao that, it the rates
continued for any length of time, there
would be lots of mortgages to be placed
on record. This has not been done. Ex
amination of tbe records at tbe offioe of
tbe county reoorder of conveyances, J.
W. Maloney, shows that this fall there
have been filed an unusually small num
ber of instruments evidencing indebted
ness on tbe part of tbe farmers of this
oounty. In fact, only a few mortgages
are being filed, and these, in tbe major
ity of instanced, are brought about by
the buying of additional lands, or in tbe
adjustment of old aooonnts that remain
from former deals.
Tbe position of tbe Nrmers of Uma
tilla oounty appears to be just as strong
as it ever wan, and there is a remarkably
small amount of complaining beard from
those who aie engaged in raising wheat
hereabouts.
The same is true at Milton. Tbere,
tbe fruit crop was damaged to a very
large degree. The freezing weather of
tbe early part of tbe year killed tbe crop
very generally. Taking apples as an in
stance, the orop is a practical failure.
Tbere were some summer apples, but
tbe crop of winter apples is almost noth
ing. lb is was staled to tbe Last Ore
gonian by a reliable citizen of Milton.
And this statement was supported by
numbers of others.
Other varieties of fruit were badly
injured. Yet, people up there appear to
be gettiug along in good shape, and a
visitor to that town would not suspect.
unless told, that there bad been any un
due damage done tbe fruit oropt.
In tbe Milton coootry, however, tbe
small fruits turned out quite well, and
the orohardists will realize enough,
probnbly, to keep them even on the
year's operating expenses. Some will
not, but tbe majority will be in Ibis posi
tion, and there will come few mortgages
from that part of tbe oounty.
In tbe southern part of the oouoty,
where livestock interests predominate,
tbere is heard almost no oomplaint.
Grass will be tbe best for many years
this fall, and everyone will be quite
propperona.
Ail in ail, Umatilla county this season
demonbtrates Its ' independence of tbe
outside world in a remarkable manner.
PAID B1U J'BICK KOH WOOL.
K. II. Clarke Take the Campbell Lot at 13
3-4 Cent a round.
E. II. Clarke, bayer for Silbermao
Brothers, of Chicago, last week bought
the last wool which remained unsold in
Pendleton from tbe lH'.M and 1899 dips,
It consisted of 65,000 pounds belonging
to Ed Campbell, and was in the ware
house of W. J. Furnish making tbe sale
for Mr. Campbell. The price paid, 13
cents a pouu'i, is u to be as e-ood
price as has bean paid here this year
Tbe wool was a very light lot, and at
that figure brought tbe handsome sum
of $10,312.50 Mr Clarke Las also just
been iu Elgin, and tbere purchaaed all
tbe wtinl remaining in the bouses, about
3o,OTi0 pnnndi In all. Tba price paid
whs li! cnt. Mr Clarke teted today
o tbe Eaxt Orpgontno that this cleans

A Wyoming; Stockman la Quest of 25,000
Head.
Morning Oregonian.
J. I. Carson, manager of tbe Pardee
Livestook Association, of Rawlins, Wyo ,
is in Portland, with a view to tbe pur
chase of 25,000 head of sheep from Ore
gon stookmen. He drove 15,000 bead of
wethers "over tbe trail" last spring, and
successfully delivered them on the
ranges of Wyoming. Two trainloads oi
sheep were taken at one time from
Heppner, and these were debarked at
Huntington, tbe terminus of tbe O. R. &
N., and from tbere tbe stook was driven
across tbe Snake river valley, subsisting
on the grasses found along tbe trail as
tbey went eastward. Should be euoceed
in purchasing all he desires this (all, he
will ship clear through by rail, as the
grass has been pretty well cleaned out
along tbe trails, and snow storms would
be likely to impede tbe progress of tbe
stock ss winter approaches.
Mr. Carson says, however, that be will
not purobase this fall unless tbe prioes
suit him. He finds that the Oregon sheep
ranges are now pretty well supplied
wiih fresh, green grass, as a result of the
August rains, and sbeepraisers may feel
like wintering tbe stook themselves. In
th it oase be will defer bis purchases
until spring.
BIG 8HEKP SALE.
Jonas Bros., of Deer Creek, Retire From tbe
. Sberp itnnlneita.
Long Creek Eagle
Ooe of the largest deals in sheep ever
made in this oounty was consummated
iu Loug Creek last Monday, Niok and
John Jonas selling to Geo. Qray, who is
bayiug for O. E. Farnswortb, of Hepp
ner, 5,000 bead of ewes and lambs. The
price obtained was S3 for ewes and $2
for lambs, making a total of 813,000
realized from the sale. Tbey are one of
tbe best bands of sheep in tbe county,
and even at tbe prioe paid tbe buyer got
a bargain. Jonas Bros, are to be con
gratulated on their suooeBa in tbe sheep
busiuess, as Jess than four years ago
tbey were flat broke, oaused by tbe bard
times and heavy losses of sheep during a
severe winter, but tbey were determined
to euoceed, and bow well they have done
so is shown by the sale just made, wbiob
is dear profit in tbe business, tbey hav
ing sold to Frank Lacy some two months
ago 1,200 bead of wethers at $2 50 per
head, tbe $3,000 realized from Ibis sale
representing more than their indebted
ness. Jonas Bros, are also owners of 1000
sores of fine grazing land in tbe Deer
creek country, and they remarked to an
Eagle reporter that tbey would now rest
long enough to fenoe it aod then would
likely take a trip to Alsaoe Lorraine,
their mother oounlry.
A Patriotic rather.
An attorney's son of Hood River
asked his father's ooBsent to enlist io
tbe 35th and tbe following is tbe father's
reply:
"Dear Son: Your letter, asking my
consent to your enlistment, just reoeived
and I am proud of you. Yes, I give my
consent for you to enlist in the army of
tbe United Htates. I would give my
oonseot to every son, if I bad a hundred.
Go, be a soldier, without fear and with
out reproach, and may God bless you.
Come baok if you live, with offloers
stripes, earned by distinguished bravery
on tbe field of battle, aod I shall be
prouder of you than I can express.
Tell me when yon have mastered tbe
maouel and general drill.
"Now, my boy, remember thai a sol
dier's first duty is explioit obedienoe.
Obey every order given you without a
murmnr. You may tbiok what yon
please, but say nothing. Remember
that it is tbe provmoe of a soldier to sot,
oot to talk. Be respectful to your
officers and gentlemanly to yoor broth
er soldiers, aod never flinob from duty,
however arduous. If you are wounded
or killed, let it be by tbe enemy, doing
your doty. Then yon suffer or die as a
soldier aod a man. You are young, but
tbe young men make the best soldiers.
'Stick to tbe army, and when your
term is out, if your country needs you
more, enlist in tbe regulars. Be sober,
booesl, oourteous, kind and gentlemanly
and you will rise from the ranks. Let
nothing hinder you your achievement.
Place yoor ideal high and strive for
mastery. Keep your own oounoil and
keep yourself morally clean aod tbere is
no reason wby in time you should not
wear a general' stripes. Aim high and
you will bavs a noble ideal t strive tor;
aim low and you will never be anything
more tbao a private. Keep your temper
under control, aod bite yoor tongue off
ratber tbao speak disrespectfully to, or
even of your uflloers. Bs obeerful aud

Gates Water And Electric Plant
established at Elgin.
Hon. H. V. Gates returned home laet
Thursday somewhat tbe worst for wear,
says tbe Hillsboro Independent of tbe
1st. He is not siok enough to be con
fined to bis room, but be might feel bet
ter and be more comfortable.
His work at Elgin is so far along that
bs has water in tbe pipes and is serving
the oity. He has some work yet on tbe
eleotrio ltgbt plant but that is so far
along that his foreman oan oomplete it,
final inspection being alone neoessary
for Mr. Gates.
His next work is the 1'rineville propo
sition. A big item 'there is tbe trans
portation of tbe heavy machinery from
Moro to Prineville, 100 miles. Wagons
drawn by horses or mules are tbe freight
cars. It costs one oent per pound for
tbe haul. One team of eight horses will
take 6 ton to the load, it being on three
wagons. Two of these are trails. The
largest pieoe wbiob Mr. Gates sends is
tbe boiler wbiob, after all attachments
are removed that can be weighs i tons
or 9000 pounds. Tbere is but ooe
wagon on tbe road that is strong enough
for this load. There are two pumps
that weigh 8000 pounds each, and tbe
engine, tbe next heaviest pieoe weighs
when stripped , 6000 pounds. Tbe ater
pipe is heavy but being in pieces oan be
divided This machinery has been
assembled from Bbops far apart.
Tbe boiler and eogioe go from Portland,
tbe pipes oomes from Pittsburg and tbe
pump from Massaohosettes. The engine
is a high speed rnaobine and it is found
that tLc Portland shops oan more than
compete with tbe east for that class of
maobinery. Tbe big Corliss engines are
not made bere yet, but in praotice, it is
found that those slow acting engines are
oot as good for driving dynamos as the
high speeds.
At first glance it might seem that $20
per ton is a profitable freight rate, but
when analyzed there is no great profit.
One man with three wagons and eight
horses will make a trip io 15 days, trans
porting 6 tons at a oost of $120 to tbe
shipper or $8 per day for the team
which oannot be said to be rapidly en
riching. Comparing it with railroad
tariffs it is seen how transportation of
freight is obeapened by tbe railroads.
WEATHER AND CROP BULLETIN.
Tbe following olimate and orop bul
letin was reoeived from B. S. Pagne
under date of September 11 th:
Rain fell on Monday and Tuesday, in
amounts from a trace over southeastern
Oregon to about one-bait and iuoh in
Umatilla oouoty. binoe Tuesday fair
and warmer weather bes prevailed.
Temperatures during tbe beat of day of
from 80 to 90 degrees bave oocured since
Friday. Sunday and to day were tbe
warmest days sinoe tbe latter part of
July.
Rhe rains of Monday and Tuesday
delayed farm work, but otherwise tbey
were not really injurious. Tbe grain
was thoroughly wet, but sinoe Hnnday
tbe dry warm weather has dried out the
grain. Oats are more iojured than
wheat, barley or rye; in individual oases
tbe loss caused by tbe rains may amount
to 10 per oent., but token as a whole the
loss is praotically nothing.
Fall-sown grain is praotiualy all out
and threshing now prooeeds under tbe
most favorable oircumslaooes. Cutting
of spring grain has oommeooed. With
our weather for two weeks more, tbe
grain crop will be entirely seoured. Re
ports Indicate tbat some of the wheat
has bleaobed, others that oats are die
ooloreu. and others tbal the berry is
soft. As a rule, this is oonfiued to lim
ited localities. The fall sowo grain has
turned out fully as well as in former
years. Spring grain is much snrperior
to the usual crop, both as regard qoan
tity sod quality.
Tbe first olover orop was out in July,
and tbe seoond is now ready to oot aod
it is as good as tbs first. Io a few local
ities tbe first orop was out io June, a
second was out in August and a third
win do cut in uoiouor. rue nay orop
is muob larger than usual.
Bangs food and pasturage for stock
srs very good. Seldom is stook in butter
condition then at present.
Hop piokiog is aotive in all yards.
Mold appeared in tbe yards about the
lat and great damage was feared during
lbs last rains; tbe clear, warm, dry
wsatber checked ths mold. The burrs
are much Isige thuu usual, aod the
largest bop orop io tbe history of tbe
stats is now beiog picked. Tbs weather
is ideal tor bop picking aud tbe quality
of the bops Is praotioally first olass.
Prune drying will begin within ten
day. Prunes are ripening. The crop,
as heretofore noted , is small, but it i
good in quality. Greater care will be
sxeroised this year in drying and pack
ing. Prune dryers are now beiog put in
condition for tbe season's run.
Tbe potato orop was greatly benefitted
by tba rains, snd an immense orop is
promised. Corn is making good growth
aod it, ton, will be a good orop. Garden
produce of all kinds was never belter.
jjale peaones are now coming iuto
market. Watermelons and oantaloupes
are very plentiful. Tbe Bartlett pear
orop bus been gathered. Late pears

Device Well Tested on the Colorado Flyer
and Results Pleasing.
The Rock Island Railroad bas estab
lished a preoedent in the West by equip
ing their engines with smoke consumers,
which entirely do away with the heavy
volume of blaok smoke wbiob is so dis
agreeable to passengers. This experi
ment baa been thoroughly tested during
tbe past few months, on their Colorado
Flyer, and has proved to oe euoh a suc
cess that the Rook Islaod has adopted it
over its entire system, and as soon as
possible, all of their engines will be
equipped with this new device.
i'his smokeless firing, as it is properly
called, will be valuable to both the
patron and tbe road. To the patron it
does away with the blaok, sooty smoke
and sinders, thus adding much to the
pleasure of traveling ; and, to tbe road,
it Is a saving in fuel as well as making
tbe appearance and equipment of tbe
train up to date. The good results from
this new equipment are unlimited aod
everything is favorable and for tbe best
interests of all. To make this smokeless
firing a success, two things are neoes
sary; the equipping of the eDgine with
the proper apparatus neoessary to con
sume the' bydrooarbona thrown off from
theooal,and tbe thorough training of
engineer and fireman in tbe manner of
firing and the best methods of proceed
ing at all times in order to obtain the de
sired results.
She manner of equipment is briefly as
follows: la the firebox of tbe engine is
built a hollow brick arch. Below this
aud about a foot above the grates ars ,
bored tour holes iu the sides ot tbe fire
box. In euch of these holes is inserted
a Sharp's patent dtlleotiog air tube,
connecting with the hollow arob.
Through these tubes the outside air is
drBwn io and, after being heated, is al- "
lowed to mix with tbe unoonsumed
gasses or bydrooarbons. By this mixing
the gasses are transferred into a perfeot
state ot oombustion, 'and in this state
tbey are oonsumed aud thoroughly dis
posed of, thus preventing them from
being forced out iuto the air, bs is tbe
case today on nearly every railroad in
tbe United States.
Assistant General Manager W. I. Allen
and Superintendent of Motive Power G.
T. Wilson of the Rock Island, express
themselves as mors tbao pleased with
the results of this new move on the part
of the road.
HE HAU ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Hut This Holiest Tramp Couldn't Uxe Ills
Surplus Money.
"I've slept under a shed with the ther
mometer 'way below zero," said tbe
tramp, "aod I've gone two long days
with nothiog to eat, but I'm tolling you
straight that when I onoe had $1000 in
my pooket I was worse off thuu at any
other time I can remember. I bad just
beeu let out of the Bridwell io Ohioago
and was begging on the streets and be
ing turned down on every hand, when I
picked up a $1000 bill on tbe sidewalk.
I thought it was a dollar, and you bet I
made a hustle to get down a side street.
Wben I dodged iuto a doorway and
made out that I was $1000 ahead of tbe
game tbe sweat started from eycry pour
aud my knees knooked together. I was
regularly seasick for 10 minutes, and my
heart thumped away until I thought it
would break out.
"Tbat $1000 meant a heap to me, you
understand, but I was so excited that it
was two hours before I oould do say
planning. The first thing was to buy a
new suit of olothes, aud I entered a store
and picked them out. Wbeu I exhibited
tbat $1000 bill tbe clothier ran to the
door to call a policeman. I got away by
a done squeeze, and then I realized tbe
situation. Tramp that I was, I oouldn't
get it obanged at a bank nor use it to
make me more comfortable. If it had
been a ten I oould bave bad lodgings
and a bed, but I'm telliog you that I
walked tbe streets as hungry as a shark,
aud slept at polioe stations aud in lum
ber yards.
"Under the oirciimutances the bill
might as well have been a niece of
brown paper. I tried all sorts of dodges
to get it busted, but it was no go. Every
time I showed it I ran the risk of arrest.
1 offered a butcher$l()0toget it changed,
but he refused to have anything to do
with it. I'd bave sold it for half price
aud been glud to, hut there was no such
thing as making a deal. Finally I went
to one of tbe newspaper oflioos and
looked up the advertisements for a week
past. The loser bad advertised, aod I
went to hi ofllce in a big building and
gave op the bill. Tbe reward was $50,
but he counted out $10 on top of that
and said: 'I wouldn't have believeu
there was suuli honesty in the world.
You could bave kept the hill us well as
uot.'
"lie took down my name und all that
aud gave the atr.iir away to the reporters.
They wrote me up as the'flouesl Tramp'
and bad my picture iu the papers, but
you may guess I didn't enjoy it over
much. I had $(!0 in place of $1000, and
as for in v honesty, it wus all bosh. I
returned tba bill because- I had to, aud
though I'm hungry nud dead broke and
don't know where to turn iu for tbe
night, I'm not looking for any more big
finds. Hoinethiog with a llgure 'T on
