(lily Hall HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY. fl'JLY, 22 1909 no. nr5 VOL. 24. Bluestem at Dollar. The first of a dozen new combined harvesters purchased this season in the Lewieton country drove into a 200 acre fluid of barley Booth of Lewiaton, Idaho, Thursday and be. gan the season's run of harvesting. The grain on the lowlands is now fully matured and the harvest will be under full headway by the mid die of the coming week. A week's rain has delayed the jWork, but it did no harm to the ripened grain, while it made the crop on the up lands, insuring more than the aver age yield on the largest acreage ever grown iu the county. The bluestem wheat now being cut has been largely contracted to the milling companies for $1 a bushel and the farmers are expect ing that the main crop of spring sown wheat will bring 85 cents or better. The total of the crop that will be routed through the Lewis ton gateway this year is estimated at 10,000,000 bushels. Nez Perce and Camas prairies will have the largest crops ever harvested in that section, owiDg to the good yield and the increased acreage, and as this is the firet year that the railroads have operated on the prairies they will market at least expense and get the highest returns. Huntington is going to fire some of its undesirables. La Grande will have a $10,000 cold storage plant. More Minnesota people have pur chased orchard lands in Rogue River valley.

Portland will have an improved mar ket for the livestock of the Northwest e trly in the coming montu when the big stockyards on the Peninsula will be opened.

At the start the ya ds will have a capac ity of 75 cars, or neatly 2000 head of cattle; 10,000 head of sheep, or about 75 cars ; and 4000 head, or 50 cars, of hogs. This capacity can easily be doubled as occasion requires. The yards will be run in connection with the new packine plants now being built on the Peninsula That the climate of the Pacific North west is most favorable to long life is the belief of Dr. Rudolph J. Hoague, expo nent of the simple life and author ot the book, "How to Live One Hundred Years." He is going to establish a c j1 ony of his followers near Vancouver. Wash., where life will be along simple lines and next to nature. Simplicity of diet and clothing will prevail. Dr. Hoague's followers will be tucked into bed at sundown and will rise with the lark. Worry and dull care will be tab ooed and members of the colony will be told to be always cheetful am happy. Dr. Hoague promises all who will live after his rules a hundred years of life. The finding of a coin of the early Christian Era in a field near Forest GroV9 has caused no little speculation as to how it came there. Antiqnarfan finds in Oregon are not common. The coin has been identified as of the period of Emperor Severus, who ruled Rome from 146 to 211 A. D. The coin is a very rare one, but a few being known to be in existence.

The steamer Inland Empire will be put on the run from Celilo to Lewiston on the 21th of July. Owing to the heavy increase in the freight traffic on the upper river it has been considered Decee sary for Bome time past to place this Bteamer on the run opposite the steamer Twin Cities, but the difficulty of obtaining a suitable crew has held them back for the last week or two, but that dilliculty has been overcome and she will be in readiness to leave Celilo 5n the 21th. This addition to the run will give a three-day service out of both Celilo and Lewiston aud will un doubtedly be greatly appreciated by the people iu those places. The company expects to handle an exceptionally large amount of freight from now on and they are doing everything possible to handle it in the most expeditions manner possible, and it is thought that a steamer leaving the two ends every three days will accomplish all that thev expect of it. Large shipments of wheat are expected to be brought down at frequent intervals, as well as the regular freight which the company's boats are called upon to handle. A chair in Prineville was made by some soldiers at Camp Polk, on squaw creek, in 1866. Team hitched to hay rake near Halsey ran away ; boy caught under tines, th it perforated his body in over 100 places ; was carried about 40 yards when team jumped a fence, which caused rake to drop boy; tie will recover. The pillars of the foundation of the new Crook county courthouse were found to be bowing outward, and alto gether loosened from their back walls. so that prying away the latter could be easily done with a small bar, says the Review. It is thought the architect's mistake in putting in too light pillars can be remedied at no great expense. It i9 the purpose of the Booth-Kelly company to run no more logs on the Willamette river, says the Eugene Reg ister. It is a treaoherous logging stream and they have lost many logs during their many drives, and now that they have railroad connections, they will be able to supply the Wendling and the Spiingfield mills by rail.
