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

ESKIMO WILL SEEK POLE.
Boy Brought Here by Peary Will Try
for Arctic Honors.
New York, July 12. Separated
from his native home for 13 years,

to this country with five of his people
by Commander Peary from the Polar
regions, sailed today on the Red Cross
line steamship Rosalind, for St. Johns,
N. 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.

Northwest Wheat Crop Now Placed
65,000,000 Bushels.
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.
