Fall wheat averaged from 42 to 02 bushels to tho acre and spring wheat 23 to 30 bushels. If any othor ambitious cor nor of tho world desires to contest honors for supremacy in grain-raising the opportunity is offered. Telephone Kxtennlon. The Rocky Mountain Boll Telephone Company will soon connect Hailey, Idaho, with all prominent places by long distarico telephone. A lino will bo constructed from Boiso to Camas Prairie, thence to Hnlloy by tho Gold Bolt, and then to Blackfoot.

A contraot to sell 12,000 pounds of the 1800 hops at 10 cents per pound has been mado by Daniel Uavanaugli to Faber & Neis, of Albany. Pros pects for fair pricca for this year's crop aro very flattering. Hop men in Ore gon who held their crops and thus ob tained better prices aro now out of debt for the first time in several years. Horst Bros, bought several lots at North Ynklrna within 10 days at 12 and 13 cents. AdTance in Keg. Egga ate worth 00 centa a dozen at Colfax, Whitmnn county. It would seem policy for tho Whitman farmers to raiso a million or two bushels less wheal and put in a few acres of hens. It is much cheaper to raise a dozen eggs than n bushel of wheat, yet Whit man and other Eastern Washington counties, which produced nearly 15, -000,000 bushels of wheat Inst year, import thousands of dollais' worth of daily and hog products and eggs every year.

Tho Taconia & Rocho Harbor 'Lime Company, which is Hie chief lime works in tho Northwest, shipped 100, 000 barrels last year, against 90,000 in 1897. Tho increaso was botli foreign and local, and the presidont, J. S. Mc Millin, says he expects an increuas thia year of at least 50 per cent, baaing hia ostiinatea on trade conditions and or ders now on hand. This business is a fair indicator of tho demand for building material. lllc Curco to the Orient. The N. Y. K. steamship Riojun Maru sailed from Seattle last week for tho Orient, with ono of tho heaviest cargoes over taken from that port. Tho froiuht inoludod 4,000 bales of cotton, 13 carloads of pig lead, 14 cars of wood pulp, bosidea a great quantity of flour and miscellaneous goods.
