HUGE FARM PROFIT.
Gain Is Ten Times Annusl Rental for
Wlllametto Valley Ranch,
Albany A. C. Armstrong, n farmer
residing four miles northwest of Plain
vlow and 10 miles southeast of Albany
will realize n profit of $4,800 on 120
acres of votch ho threshed last week.
Incidentally ho will clear tip about $0,
000 this year on a farm of 400 acres,
for which ho pays an nnnunl rental of
$000. Some othor Linn county fann
ers aro doing almost' as well, and farm
ing In tho Willamette valley Is paying
better this year than for many years.
Armstrong had 140 acres In vetch
this year. Ha mowed 20 acres ot It,
and after storing his barns full of loose
hay for his winter's supply had enough
left over from tho 20 acres to balo 20
tons, which Is worth $13 a ton, Tho
vetch on tho remaining 120 acres was
threshed for seed by tho threslior and
cleaner of Parker llros., nnd Armstrong
had 70 tons of threshed and cleaned
vetch seed from his 120 ncrrs. This Is
worth four cents a pound In the present
market and after Armstrong pays all
expenses of threshing, cleaning, etc.,
ho will realize a net profit of $4,800 on
the vetch seed alone, to say nothing of
the vetch hay he baled.
In addition to his 140 acres in vetch,
Armstrong has 200 acres In spring oats,
which Is In splendid condition and will
doubtless return a big yield nnd givo
him an additional profit of sovoral hun
dred dollars for tho past year's work.

Vapor May Uo Seen Rising From the
Mountain at Times,
llolllngliam, Wash., Aug. 18. Stor
ies of smoke seen arising from Mount
linker's snow-crowned ilomo following
the earthquake In this territory last
winter do not appear so far-fetched,
following the Investigations mada by
tho Mnzamas ot vents In tho crater of
tho huge extinct, volcano. Secretary
John A. Leo, who returned to this city
today, declares that, at a favorable

with a good pair of field glasses.
The "vents" In the crater npwarcd

ever, who ascended tho mountain In

on tin holo there Is not any Increase
In the activity of sulphurous gases
blowing out of tho so-called "vents'."
"The actual crater ot the mountain,"
said Mr. Leo, "Is that portion lying
between the icemidary peak and the
main eak.
It Is easy to sea that the

broken and crumbled away by tho ac
tion of weather, thus leaving the val

between.
"Ono of tho active vents Is situated
at the easterly end of this depression,
and tho other at (ho westerly end. The
east vent Is apparently by far tho most

this time merely of cracks and fissures

Wizard of Wall Street Hss Option on
Control of 8yatm.
New York, Aug. 18. The ellrnlns
lion of the Vanderbllts from New York
Central lines and the complete ascend
ency of Edward II. Hsrrlmsn In tho
control of more than 12,000 miles of
railroad comprised In that system Is
declared to bo tho noxtlmiwrlant move
In the railway world.
It Is reported on what seems to be
good authority that the Harrlman back-
era havo secured an option on the great
er portion, If not all, of the Vanderbllt
holdings and will soon close a deal In
tho Interest of the "Napoleon" of the
railway world. Tho option which has
been obtained, It is stated, Is on $60,
000,000 worth of Now York Central,
which Is to be purchased for Mr. Har
rlman at $160 a share.
The last report of the Union Pacific
road shows that It has In its treasury
$14,000,000 worth of Nw York Cen
tral securities and It Is generally bo
lloved that Mr. Harrlman and a few of
his friends have largo (Kireonal holdings
of New York Central securities.
The total capitalization of tho Now
York Central Is $178,032,000 and it Is
understood that the option, If oxper
clsod, will give Mr. Hsrrlmsn and his
friends absolute control of tho com
pany. This carries with It the control
of the West Shore and practical con
trol, though not by stock ownership, of
all roads in the New York Central lines
system.
