A IS1U WHEAT CROP.
Morrow County Fur Ahead of Pre
vious Kecords.
The wheat crop of Morrow cor.nty is
now a 1 threshed and the bulk cf the
grain has been hau'ed to maiket.
While this yeai'd crop cannot go on
record aa showing the largest yie'd,
still in the aggregate the crop h much
irger than ever before. This is owing
to largdy increased acreage in all of the
whea growing districts.
Fiom the btst information obtainable
from warehousemen and farmers, Mor
row county's wheat crop this year will
reach a total of 1,400,0(0 bushels. The
yield being estimated at 15 bushels to
the acre, would indicate that there were
93,333 acres in wheat this year.
It is estimated that 1,300,000 bushels
will bo exported, 100,000 bushels being
required for home consumption. The
bulk of the amount kept at home being
used for seed.
Such a wheat crop represents a vast
amount of wealth to be distributed
among a small uumbar of people. The
population of this county is little lees
than 5,000, and aa the popu'alion ot the
towrs will easily reach 2000. and quite a
number outside of the towns are not
farmers, being engaged in the stock
business, it would Feem that somebody
H making money.
M- st of the crop has already been
6o'd at prices rarjging in the neighbor
hood of 70 cents per bushel. It would
be safe to fay that the wheat exported
will bring Morrow county farmers over
$300,000.
While the stock indust y is still a
prominent factor and represents a large
amouut of wealth, it Is now in the back
ground when compared with wheat
which beada the list in the production
of wealth.
For the nine months of this year end
ing November 1, railroad figures 6how
that there have been shipped from
Morrow coonty 2,500 head of cattle,
1.SO0 head of hoga, 100,000 bead of
sheep, and 3,000,000 pounds of wool.
Shef,p and wool have brought a good
price, but with all this the wheat stands
out with a good third more value than
all tbe wealth produced by stock.
At the principal warehouses along
the Heppner branch of the O.J R. & N.,
all of the warehouses have been crowd
ed and it has been necessary to pile a
large amount of wheat on the ground
ontside of the buildings.
Farmers are now seeding and another
large crop will be put in this fall.
CLOSE TO 43,000.
Republicans won in Oregon by 42,
896 Votss.
Official returns from every county ex
cept Curry show the Republican plu
rality in the last ejection to be 42,890,
and the total vote in the state 90,268
This is tbe largest plurality the Repub
lican ticket ever received and the heav
iest vote ever cast in a Presidential elec
tion in Oregon except 1896. when the
money question brought out a total vote
95,441. That the vote of 1904 was so
large is due chiefly to the prohibition
issue, which threw into the campaign a
locwl interest that could not be aroused
by discussion of National snbj-cts.
One of the noteworthy features of the
returns is the evidence ot the rapid
growth of socialism, the vo'e of the
Socialist party having grown from 1494
in 1901, to 57G3 in 1902, and 7615 in
1914.
Compa-ed with the vote of four terns
ago, the returns show a Republican
gain of 14,000 votes, and a Democratic
loss of 16,000. Comparisons can sca-ce-ly
be made with the vote of 1S96, for in
that year the opposition to the Repub
lican party was represented by a fusion
organization in which the strength of
the Democratic party could not be very
aconrafely estimated.
The influer.ee of the prohibition ques
tion in bringing out the voters in this
election is shown by a comparison of
votes in connties where the prohibition
question was submitted, with the vote
in counties where no prohibition fight
had been raised. Thus, Folk County,
which had no vote on prohibition this
year, fell off 110 in its total vote, while
Marion, an adjoining county, in which
the prohibition question was presented,
experienced a gain of 180 votes in the
total.
Josephine County, whose vo'ers were
not asked to pass upon the merits of
the prohibition question, fell off 260 in
its total vote, while Jacknon, adjoining,
male a slight ga'n in the number of
votes cast, the prohibition issue serving j
to overcome the apathy which other
wise characterize.? the campaign.
Even the warm fight under the provi
sions of the local option law did not
