The wheat crop of the North west for the year is estimated at 4.",O00,OO0 to 50,000,000 busbels. Where harvest has commenced, theyiekl is much better than was anticipated and while acre ape is greater than a year ago, the increase in production is more largely due to increased yield." According to the best statistical knowledge obtain able, the crop last year was 35, 000,000 bushels; hence at a low estimate the crop this 3'ear i9 one third greater.

Geo Sullivan is working with Riddell Bros, thresher. Mr. Kay affects surprise that Graham should at this time have the temerity to oppose him. He expected the support of the entire Marion delegation. The fact is everybody but Tom knew all along that he would not get ' the undivided support of the Marion delegation. The Marion delegation never did stand to gether. It perhaps never will. According to some of the sen timents expressed by some of the leaders of the Prohibition people, there will be an effort made to have all the counties in Oregon vote on the local-option plan in November. I. H. Amos chairman f6r the State Prohi bition Committee says that it is not the sentiment of the Prohi bitionists of the state to consent to omit any precinct from vote by agreement with the opposing parties, and that it would be likely to be a vote of all sections at the same time. Tom Kay should try a dose of whale oil soap and quassia chips on J. G Graham. That might bring him into line. Ira Sullivan and Wilbur Rhoades are hauling bay to Dallas.
