The Rus sian expedition from Baku which land ed at Enzell, a Persiaa seaport on the Caspian yesterday, is made up of 1,000 Russian and 800 Cossack cavalry, with eight field guns and eight machine guns. Despite the correct attitude maintained by the Russians, the natives are demonstrating their unfriendliness. The unopposed advance of Siphidar, the leader of the revolutionists, and Sardarasad, the chief of the Bakhtiari tribesmen, towards Teheran, is taken here to mean that General Liakhoff, the governor of Teheran, considers bis force inadequate to engage in a general battle, and that he has decided to em ploy his Cossack brigade merely as a guard over the life of the shah. Persons well informed here regard the entrance of the revolutionists into Teheran as a foregone conclusion, while the deposition of the shah, which sev eral times has been mooted, will now arouse no surprise. ESKIMO WILL SEEK POLE. Boy Brought Here by Peary Will Try for Arctic Honors. New York, July 12.

F., whence he will be conveyed to bis home in Greenland. Before Mene sailed, the Arctic club extracted from him a written agree ment that he would not again return to this country and that while in Green land he would not bears arms against the Feary expedition. This was due, it is believed, to the fact that Mene, angered at the attitude of Peary and the Arctic club in refusing to take him back to Greenland, once safe in his native home, might seek revenge for the treatment he received while in this country. Mene said he would organize an ex pedition of tskimos to find the North pole. PRESENT WRITING TABOOED. Uniform Method to Ba Used in Phila delphia Schools. Philadelphia, July 12.

Portland, July 9. Estimates com piled from daw receivea irora rau than 350 of the principal wheat sta tions of Oregon, Washington and Ida- bo, indicate ino uua wumi jiu the three states to be approximately 55,000,000 bushels, compared with 4U,- 000,000 bushels last year, 60,000,000 hnahela in 1907. and a five-year aver age of 48,500,000. Ui tne uiree states, iubuu una u best crop, with Washington showing up exceedingly well, while uregon, es pecially in the river counties, suuerea from dry weather to such an extent that the damage could not all be re paired by the late rains. Some of the poor yields in Oregon have been offset in tne toiaiB oy an increased acreage in new territory. The most noticeable Increase of this nature is aloncr the Wallowa extension of the 0. R. & N. Another locality in which new acre age will aid in swelling tne totals is the Haystack and Bakeoven country, .i i m i . nn where mere is an increase oi huuul u vn ..nt in the Dpreaere with the vield VCil ... - P-, about 10 per cent better than last year. Sherman county is somewnai put ted, and early in the season the outlook was poor. Rams in the latter part oi June helped, however, and there will be a material increase over last year's output Conditions in Wasco are sim ilar to those in Sherman county. Umatilla, the banner wheat county of the state, is not coming up to its usual standard. The light lands suf fered by the dry weather early in-the J .1 1 .u . nnma Beaaun, wiu iue niiuwero iuui. tonic later were not general throughout the county. Along the Arlington branch of the O. R. & N. the crop is light until Con don is reached. Around Condon, bow ever, the outlook is far from gloomy. With the exception of about 20,000 acres, which have been taken by weeds, there will be a pretty fair yield. Morrow county is not quite so good as Gilliam, but there, as elsewhere in the river counties, some very short stalks of wheat are turning out well filled heads. Union county has an excellent crop ana 4U-bushei yields will not be uncom mon around Elgin and Summerville. The Willamette valley has ceased to be a hgure in the export wheat mar ket, but the yield is an important fac- tnr in the milliner himinena ... n . Washington reports are uniformly gooa. wana walla, with its never- failing foothill land, promises an out put of 4,500,000 bushels. Barley is also turning out well in this county, and has made some inroads on the wheat acreage. Columbia and Garfield counties are both expected to turn off record yields of wheat and barley. This region was iavorea with rain at a time when the river counties in Oreeon were missed. Whitman, the banner wheat county of all the Northwest gives excellent promise of breaking recordB. The acre age is large and the crop conditions are iar a Dove tne average. Estimates run from 9.000.000 to 12.000.000 hnnheln the latter being generally regarded as too nign, wniie u,uuu,000 bushels is re garded as conservative. Lincoln county, which in "light iana years has come very close to Whitman's yield, has suffered this year by dry weather. Adams county is still in the uncer tain class, as the crop is late in that region and even the winter wheat is not out of the woods. At the best the crop will be only fair, except down in the southeastern nart nf the Douglas county lost the greater part ui its wneat territory when the new county of Grant was carved out this year, and urant, which has an in creased acreage as well as a fair yield gives promise of about 3,000,000 bush els. borne new wheat Und in the nortnern part of Douglas county will make the yield for the old county in excess of 500,000 bushels. Spokane county was in the moisture belt with Whitman, and as a result has a fine crop in prospect' Franklin county is somewhat behind its neighbors in yield, and in the vicin ity of Connell the crop will be smaller than that of last year. Farther east the OUtlook is more fimnnhU Klickitat county, which has always iu i uruanu territory, gives prom ise of a very good yield, with some in. crease in acreage.
