WHEAT HIGH
IN HEPPNER
Morrow Warehouse Mill
ing Co. Pays $1.10
per Bushel.
Made Good Time.
The present residents aod grain
buyers of Morrow county never
knew of wheat being bought in
the local markets for a price rang
ing any where near that which
wan paid by R. F. Hynd, of the
local mill, to Win. Kumberland, a
farmer living six miles east of
this city, last Saturday.
Mr. Kumberland received $1.10
per bushel for his entire last year's
crop aDd now weais a smile equal
to that of President Taft.
Not only has the price of wheat
gone up. but tho price of flour and
wheat products have correspond
ingly risen to that elevation where
the poor man has to look twice and
dig three times before he has the
nerve or money to invest in the
necessary staff of life to keep his
family going.
White Swan, the fancy grade
turned ont by the local mill is now
being retailed at $6 00 per barrel;
Fairy Queen, second grade at $5 60;
gruham and who e wheat also at
$5.60, and Cream Middlings, in
100 pound bales at $2.75. while
mill feed, bran and shorts are
quoted at $26.50, $25.50 and $27.60
per ton respectively.
The last barley bought by the
mill company, there being no bar
ley for sale in the county, cost
nearly $39 laid down here and the
retail price for rolled barley is $40
per ton.
There is not a person in the
West who does not like to see
wheat sell at a good figure, bat
we wonld all be better pleased if
it attained sucb skyhigh prices in
September and October, instead of
April, when there is but little, if
any wheat left in the hands of the
farmer.
George Perry and W. T. Mat
lock, came in from Sunnyeide,
Wash., Tuesday evening.
Garfield Crawford went over to
Pendleton in an automobile Satur
day evening. Los. Lonndigon,
representing the McCormick auto-
mobile house, of Pendleton.bronght
over a couple of traveling men
earlier in thedav and Garfield ac
companied Mr, Londigan back to
Pendleton. They made the trip in
exactly three hours and a half, go
ing by way of the Franklin grade
and Vinson. This grade is per
haps the steepest wagon road in
this country, but tho car took it
at the rate of ten miles an hour
and held the paca the entire grade.
The car used was a Franklin, '07
model., Mr. Crawford returned
Monday and reports that condi
tions are not the most flattering
for stockmen and farmers in the
Pendloton locality, but if rains
came within the next ten dajs the
farmers will harvest an immense
crop. Grass is short between
Heppner and Pondleton and sheep
men living near Echo are com
plaining of the ecarcity of feed
however a good rain wonld add
materially in the grass localities.

Experimental Farm Will
Probably I be Located
in Morrow Co.
8. E. Notson went to Corvallis
last Saturday to be present at the
meeting of the board of regents of
the Agricultural College, at which
meeting it was expected that the
location of the Eastern Oregon
experimental farm would be de.
termined. He returned yesterday
and reported that tbe matter was
not acted upon as the report of the
experts was not complete, but the
outlook for . tbe location of the
farm in Morrow county is very
tood. Tbe matter depends almost
wholly upon the recommendation
of the experts. The matter will
be settled at the May meeting of
tbe board.
Shearing in Full Blast.
WOOL MOVES
RAPIDLY
One Buyer Picks up Near
ly 550,000 Pounds.
For several weeks past Frank
Lee, the veteran wool buyer has
been buying an occasional clip, but
up until Monday there had been
no particular stir in the local
market, when all of a sudden W.
W. Smead cut loose like wild fire
and by Tuesday noon he had cor
raled 300,000 pounds of the best
wools to be marketed here this
season.
The recent buys have practically
done away with the wool sales in
this locality, bat the growers are
receiving their price and the ad
vance payment on the contracts
give them a little . money to work
on until after shearing.
To get the price paid for these
wools is almost as bard a job as to
find hen teeth in a duck's mouth
I he buyers refuse to state the
price and the grower is almost as
