Oats, exclusive of the crop grown in the La Conner dis trict on Puget Sound, Is credited with a yield of 12,000,000 bushels In the three states. These figures which show a grand total of 80,000,000 bushel, of the three leading cereals, are compiled from accurate statistics, kindly sup plied by the railroad companies, which moved the big crop and by prominent grain exporters in various part, of the three states.

That he president will Indulge in hi. fondness for hunting big game is be- eved by those to whom he has con flded his Intentions. It was at the recent dinner of the rtoone and Crocket Club in this city that the president Inst told of his In tention, for next year. He wns told of the opportunities for hunting in Alaska, and urged to arrange for trip there. This, he said, would In terfere with his plan for foreign travel and would hnve to be consid ered, if at all, at some future time. Mr. Roosevelt Is quoted a. adding at this time: "If William H.
