Gibson, of San Francisco, brought th«- power yacht Fremont, which was supposed to have foundered, into port here Wednesday. The story of hardship and privation recounted by Captain Reynolds ami Dr. Gibson is almost incredible. The Fremont was piled high and dry on the beach at Annette island and it took Captain Reynolds and Dr. Gib­ son three months to dig a canal with makeshift spades that the Fremont could be floated. During the time the Fremont was on the beach ami for the remainder of th«- trip, the two men had as food only the game which they were abb- to kill. They were forced to live on the beach beneath a piece of sail cloth, while the yacht was on her beam ends, and each took turns at night fighting off the wolves while his companion slum­ bered. A. G.

FRUII MLN INDUSTRIOUS. UMATILLA CROPS ROSEATE. Farmer* Believe fl.OOO.OOO-Bushel Record Will Be Surpassed. Pendleton With th«- wheat in thousands of fields just beginning to head and with th«- promise of addition­ al showers, Umatilla county farmers ar«- freely pnxiicting the greatest har­ vest th«- rounty ever had. From all sections of th«- county ami regarding all kinds of grain th«- same r«-(x«rts en­ ticing receiveti. AU say they never saw th«- prospects brighter. It is said that th«- normal crop of 5,- 000,000 bushels of wheat will be har- vest«*! even though then- should b«- no more rain between now and har­ vest, while many say that 1007 s rec­ on! yield of 6,000,000 bushvia will easily be surpass«-«! if the normal amount of rainfall comes during J un«-. Prettier stands of fall wheat wer«-1 never seen than ar«- now to be fou n«l in any direction from Pendleton, whil«* I th«- May rains have brought th«- spring grain out until a goo«i crop is assured. A [H-culiar feature of this year's fall­ sown grain is that it is heading out as early as the barley, which usually pre­ cludes it by a week or two. The har­ vesting of th«- two crops will there­ fore probably start simultaneously. BUYS GYPSUM LAND St. Loui» Company Said to Contem­ plate Plant in Eastern Baker, Baker The Acuma Cement com­ pany of St. Louis, M o ., has purchas«*! 3,000 acres of gypsum deposit land near Huntington and will erect h plant of 200 ton daily capacity on th«- Bu­ chanan spur of the Northwestern rail­ road. Th«- plant will cost upwards of $100,000 ami w ill employ several hundred men. Th«- land was pur­ chasm! from Major John H. Aitkin of Portland. J. P. Hannon and H. C. Northey of Huntington ami John L. Rand of this city. The St. laiuis (am­ ple were interested in the proposition by Frank Nelson of Boise. Idaho, who negotiat«>d th«- sale of th«- property and brought about the closing of the deal. The gypsum industry is fast becom­ ing important in Baker county, along with others being develop«*!. The big lime am! cement plant, on th«- main line of the O.-W. R. & N. east of this city, is being increased in capacity- all the time. The gypsum de[»>sits seem practically inexhaustible and of high quailty. UMATILLA ALFALFA SHORT. Mowing to Begin This Week—Later Crops to Be Heavy. Pendleton Growers of alfalfa in Umatilla county are preparing to har­ vest the first crop of the season. The song of the mower will be heard in several fields this week but it will be about ten days yet before the harvest is in full blast. According to most of th«- growers in the vicinity of Pendleton, the first crop will be alsiut 25 per cent short this year. This is due to the excep­ tionally chilly spring which retarded the growth in most sections. The shortage will be more than made up by the increas«.-d acreage and by the second and third crops which promise to go above normal. State School Receives Presents. Salem From the result of efforts made by Multmonah Gamp, No. 77, Woodmen of the World, and the Arti­ sans of Polk county, a new piano and moving picture machine will be in­ stalled at the Oregon state training school. When Governor West was at the Woodmen reunion in Portland and at the Artisan picnic at Rickreall, he call«?«! it to the attention of the lodges. The Woodmen immediately rain«*! $50 toward a piano and prom­ ise«! that the balance would be forth­ coming. Th«; governor received a telegram from II. S. Hudson, of Port­ land, supreme master of the Artisans informing him that the picture ma­ chine had been purchased ami awaits the order of the governor. Farmers Want Own Project.

Astoria According to the records in Weather Observer Gilmore’s office the past month has been an exception­ ally wet one in Astoria. The total rainfall during May was 6.88 inches, an excess of 3.08 inches over the aver age for the corresponding month of previous years, which was 3.8 inches. Since 1854, when the first weather re­ cords were kept here, there were four months of May in which the rainfall exceeded that of the present month. Randy for Irrigation. Lakeview Fifty men are employed on the Davis Creek orchards darn, which is nearly completed. The com­ pany has 60 acres planted to trees and about 200 acres in grain, with an ad­ ditional 300 acres in alfalfa and tim­ othy. There will be plenty of water for irrigation purposes this year, the reservoir having already been filled to the 12-foot level and then released several times. $300,000 Issue is Legal. Marshfield Judge John S. Coke has given a decision in the Port commis­ sion case which is of great importance to Coos Bay. The case was a friendly suit started to test the validity of a port bond issue of $300,000. This case has been decided in favor of the Port commission, and means that the proposed bond issue is legal. Salmon Catch Improved. Astoria Since the warmer weather began there has been quite an improve­ ment in the runs of salmon anil the gillnetters during the past two or three days have been making fairly good catches. While the season thus far, is regarded generally as a poor one, one of the canners says that the pack to date is fully equal to the amount put up at the corres|»nding time a year ago.
