Oregon UlrttrJiiJ Hory VOL. 24. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY. AUG. 19, 1900 NO. 1172 WHEAT NOT WELL FILLED A Monster City Building. Threshing Operations Show Light Yield.' Reports from the wheat districts as threshing progresses show that tbe wheat yield in most cases is turning out ihort of expectations and estimates made earlier in the season. The heads are not well tilled owing to the continued dry weather. B, W. Ilickob, the well known grain broker, has just completed another tour of th county through the different wheat growing Bections. "Crops4lrefl(ly threshed are tailing off from 2." to 40 per cent below previous estimates of the yield," said Mr. llickok to the Gazette. Mr. Hickok is of the opinion that nesily all of the wheat in the county will pass No. I, notwitheta diDg the light yield. Bert Ward, of Hardman. is threshing ans his "heat is turning out -0 bushels to the acre. V. V. Bechdolt, another farmer of the Hardmao district has threshed 1,000 bushels from 50 acres. Out on the L. P. Davidson place where 10 bushels to the acre was expected, the yield is only from six to seven bushels, Theo. Anderson, of Eight Mile, reports that his wheat is making 10 bushels to tbe acre. Taking it all around the yield will ! far below the average this season. Active at 87.

After more than ten years of prelimi nary planning, work has just been be' gun at New York, which, when it is completed in 1912, will provide that city with the greatest municipal building in the world, coveriniJ two city blocks, affording office room to more than 1200 persons and costing $15,000,000. It will be the largest and most complete build ing ever erected or likely to be orected for tbe accommodation of administrative and departmental officers of a City. In many respects it will also establish new construction records. The contract for the foundation is the large&t ever award ed in this country, not onlv as regards the estimated cost of 81,500,000 but also iu the amount of earth to be excavated and of concrete to be utsed. Not less than 140,000 cnbio yards of dirt and rock will have to be removed, 50,000 cubia yards of which will be under water, while the concrete to be used for the mammoth pieis on which the building will rest will amount to at least 50,000 cubic yards, necessita'ing 70,000 barre of cement. The foundations will extend 130 feet below the street level and feet below the water level, while th height of tbe build. ng from basement to the top of its tower will be (80 feet There will be twenty-five stories in the mam building each with an area of more than an acre wbile the total area of office space, including the tawer will exceed thirty acres. Thirty-two elevatoie, th greatest n timber ever installed in one building, will take the passengers up and down, and a subway station in th basement will give direct accets to the city's various underground lines. The lighting of the building will require more than 200 miles of wiring and about 200,000 electric light bulbs.

At. PHELPS. Proprietor As a result of the examination held last week, Prof. L. 13. Kicker, Mrs. Ina M. Hale, aud Mrs. Carrie W. Bdrnham received first grade certificates; Mrs. Jessie M. Phelps and Misses Maude Cutsfortb, Win. nifred Osten, and Edna Phillips received second grade certificates; and Misses Josie Eskelson, Mary M. Gray, and Margaret Osten re ceived third grade certificates. Fonr sets of papers have been 6ent in from other counties, bat as these have not been graded by the examiners, tbe results can not be given at this time. A number of those who took the eighth grade examination iu June are conditioned upon only two branches. To accommodate these pupils, an examination will be held Sept.' 2 3, at Heppner.

Inquiries continue to come in in regard to the law requiring doors of school houses and other public buildings to open outward. I can only say that the law makes no ex. ception of country scboolbouses. The six months allowed for making the necessary changes has expired, and tbe matter should be attended o at once if it has not already been done. RlIEYSKlBNEYCUEE FOLEYSHOIJErTAR Malta Kidney and Bladder Right f eufr af, r. jr Miss Lillian Cochran, who has been teaching at Hamilton, wrote upon the examination last week for a state certificate. She has been elected to a position in tha Hepp ner school. She accepts the posi tion made vacant by the resigna tion of Miss Gwynne. Miss Anne Troedson, of Ella, also wrote upon the state examination. She ex pects to attend school at Belling ham, Wash., the ensuing year. Miss Mabel Helzer, of Valentine, Nebr., has been elected as high school teacher of the Heppner school for the ensuing year. It would be a matter of conven ience to the superintendent if teach ers who have secured schools but hie not filed their contracts would notify the superintendent. School boards are making inquiry almost daily in regard to teachers. It the buperintendent knew where tbe va cancies exist and knew the teachers who have not secured position?, he could beof assistance to both teach ers and boards. It may not seem important to those who have se cured schools to inform the super iutendent, but the superintendent will greatly appreciate the infor mation. School boards and patrons should ee that the schoolhouse and prem ises are in good condition before school opens. A little paint, white wash, water, and chloride of lime judiciously used will improve con- ltions in many districts. The ut-buildings should be thoroughly 'eaned aud disinfected. The vaults hould be fixed so as to admit no ght from outside. A few pails of ust from the road would help, if hrown into the vault. A little whitewash would also help both in the sanitary conditions and the Rp pearaucpe. Another matter which hould be carefully looked after is the water supply. A little care in this particular may prevent eick- pss. The window shades should e inspected. Thev should be in good working order. Many a pupil has had his eyes permanently in jured by sitting w here the sunlight could fall upon his book. It is false economy to neglect these things. Let us put everything in the best possible condition under the cir cumstances, and then let us insist that pupils and teachers make good use of the equipment. Respectfully, S. E, NOTSON, Co. Supt.

Soon after leaving town, the tortures of a very dusty road are greatly relieved by the sight of the rich preen a'talfa field along Willow creek which till the atmosphere with a rich fragrance tbht is pleasant in the extreme, for a distance of 10 mi'es.

Crook, Sheridan, Johnson and Big Horn, in the state of Wyoming. Sheep that are affected with this disease will under no conditions be allowed to be moved interstate from the quarantined area.

Wool importations into thu United Sfatps in the last -fiscal year amounted to 266,500,000 pounds, the largest record daring any year except 1898, according to statistics of the department of commerce and labor. The valua of Ihe wool imported was 845,000, 000, while that of the decade end ing with tbe last fiscal year was $213,000,000. About one-third of the wool con sumed in the United States is im ported. The total consumption of wool in the United States in the decade just ended was 4 3 4 billion pounds, of which 38 per cent was imported. Over 29,000,000 worth of clothing wool was imported dur ing the last year, Great Britain leading other countiies in this re spect.
