Portland baa t her Buyers' Week
for August t to 14, according to an
official notice sent us, but the moat we
could do if we went down would be to
stimulate the dairy trade a trifle by the

Althnue-h a sTave issue has devel
oped between the United States and
Germany, there-' seems to be no way to
bury it.
Curious, isn't it, that our republican
friends should be easting about for the
"rieht man for president" when he is
president already?
About all we are able to learn from
the United States Cashier company
trial at Portland is that somebody took
the cash out of cashier.
Carranza is "restoring normal eondi

means that it will continue to be an
elegant place to stay away from.
Harry K. Thaw has been declared

the rooted conviction of the rest of us
that sanity is a desirable condition.
We 'Will try not to be so unkind as to

William Mattery, upon Mexican soil.
A Pendleton mob compelled a dirty

s-oina- to be hypercritical enough to
say that the county seat may have to

Warned by German bankers that his

COBOt MEDICTS tUUPCt CROP.
"The greatest cereal crop In ths his
tory of Oregon, Washington and Idaho
I now being gathered in," says Hy
man H. Coheu in the Oregon Journal
"The crop of the three leading grains
will reach a grand total of 113,300.000
boahels compared With 109.100.000
bushel for the same crop in the north'
weal in 1914.
"Both the wheat and out crop are
greater than a year ago. but the out
nut of barley ia smaller. Decreaae in
production of the latter ia not due to
any diminished yield per acre, but to a
heavy loss in the acreage. The acre
age of both wheat and oat is greater
than a year ago and the average yield
per acre is also better.
"While all crops suffered somewhat
from the reactionary weather just pre
vious to the opening of harvest, wheat
was the greatest aufferer and the Ore
gon fields stood the brunt of the losa.
Early promise for wheat In the three
state wa close to 63.000.000 bushels,
while the actual crop is close to 66.000,
000 bushels. "
"Washington and Idaho produced
their greatest crop of wheat this sea
son, while Oregon fell somewhat m
the rear because of unfavorable weath
er appearing just as the wheat was In
critical stage.
The Oregon crop was damaged
fully 20 percent, while the total dam
age in Washington was scarcely more
than aeven percent and in Idaho lee
than five percent." ...
Mr. Cohen put Oregon' wheat crop
at 18.900,000 bushels, Washington's at
36,020,000 bushels and Idaho's at II,
380,000 bushel. He predicts that
Umatilla county will harvest 3.900,000
bushels of. wheat, and Walla Walla
county 4,750,000 bushels. Whitman
the banner wheat county of the north'
west-will have 11,000.000 bushels.

fighting trout are seen. I know a
gentle and mossy nook, where one can
settle and cast his hook, and dream
and read from the rippled book of
the wlmpllng water's sheen.
"I know a place where the akles are
so blue that it chokes up your throat
to see, and you almost feel that you're
looking through the depths of eterni

flings its spears up, up. where the
white cloud swings and you follow
Its rush with a. soul on wlnga burst
forth from your body free.
"I know a place. His a place that
rails on the voloe of the winds tuned
low. on the distant drone of the water
falls' and the cries that the bloe'ays
throw. Mother, mother, my mother

love and I know your worth. Call,
