Ixty-iwo" cents' ai" against 53 cents,
which was the openibg bid last season,
was paid for tba first wheat of this sea
son" which was -delivered, at ?6l. Byera'
roller mills at Pendleton. This is the
first wheat of the season to reach that
city. It came from the farm of Fred
Taute, two and a half miles of Pendle
ton., The wheat ia blue stem and is as
jrood if not better than the quality pro.
duced lastyear
'Sixty-two cents is a little better f tha'n
the j tegular market 'price.- The ''I mill
there raises the prices slightly in order
to have a prompt delivery and get a
good supply, as the wheat of last season
is nearly all gone. This mill is paying
69 for club'." ' Last year's price for clubfl
was 52 cents. : : . i . .;v j
It will be some little time before any
great quantity of the wheat reaches the
local market.7A a" general rule a num!
ber of the farmers assist in cutting each
others crops and the grain is not deliv
ered until after the threshing, is com
pleted.., .., , , . ., , ' .,' '" .
4 The farm from which the first wheat
came is located at the edge of the res
ervation,' which is considered to be
among the best wheat producing sec
turns of that district. The crop, which!
went 20 bushels per acre, is 75 per cent
of an average yield
Wheat is ripening in good shape in
this section and a fair crop with good
prices will be realized by Athena farm
ers. . The grain is plump, the heads well
filled and the straw in most instances is
found to be short. Harvesters' are be

" The prospect for a goodyielcj of wheat
with -Ihe present favorable' weather is
improving.- While- the yield-will fall
considerably short of last' year J indica-.
tions are now that the farmers ,of that
section of the Palouse will market, prac

bring to, the county, if prices reach the
point now indicated,' as much if not
more mohejf than last season's crop. '
. The oat cr'op; of which there is a larg

splendidly aod promises a big yield. As
a matter of fact crop indications gener

prosperous fall seems a certainty.' '

The demands on the city water system
for water hive become so excessive : that
the present supply affbrned by the' well
is inadequate. 5 'The pressing need :fbr
more water has been felt with each suc
cessive dry season, when water'is greatly
needed for sprinkling and irrigating pur
poses,,. To supply a sufficient amqunt
of water for. consumers and at the same
titxie have enough for fire protection,
has long beep a problem hard to solve
by., the water superintendent and the
city authorities ;s - , . , , ;
, Wednesday the water committee of, the
council took action' in the matter with
the result that Water Superiptendent
Cholson now has a force of nien' en
gaged in extending the wing to the city
well a distance of 100 feet. When this
is completed the wing or feeder to! the
well will be 150 feet in length, tiere
now being a 50 foot wing. It will be
cased up with timbers and made sub
stantial in every way.', With this addi
tional capacity, it is thought the well
wilt afford an ample supply of water' for
all purposes. "t ' ',' n j

steam condenser, where all of the 'steam
not as yet converted is distilled in a coil
of pipes over ; which' stifeatn '(rf cold
water is continually passing.. , From the

Bkimming tank, where sAl of the oil and
ether floating impurities which have, es
caped tbe cleansing process so, far are
taken off, and from there it is let into
the reboiler, where tbe water is agaio
heated above the boiling point by a

i There was great excitement, at Rear
danf Wash., Friday afternoon over a
practical joke played by three members
of the famous Swingsiftero ball team,
i A party of young ladies were leaving
on the afternoon freight for a vacation
at Medical Lake. Chapler,, tbe Swing
sifter manager, and Cox and Chester,
two players, took a box which containod
a chicken from in front of the butcher
shop and put it on a flat car, remarking
that tbe girls could have it for supper.
Tbe .butcher appeared at the. depot and
demanded that the chicken be returned.
' The irate butcher stood 1 guard over
the hen While he dispatched a bystander
after the marshal. The bystander proved
to be a German cook who couldn't speak
the English language.ia the latest ap
proved fashion. Here is where the ex
citement commenced. The German
started up the street on the dead run,
shouting for the marshal. When be be
came exhausted he shouted td E. Sprin
kle, the liveryman, to send the marshal
to the train immediately. Sprinkle
thought something serious was wrong
and he gave the cue to Marshal Dale,
who started bn a sprint for the depot,
followed by a large crowd , of excited
citizens, . .
Upon arriving at the station the mar
shal took in' the situittion and returned
borne. ' Meanwhile a Justice of the peace
was summoned and the men were ar
rested,, The chicken was .taken from
the car, and . just as the train Btartfd
Chapler shoved the hen, box and all,'
through the coach window. s v
The ball players, having had their fun
offered-. to pay the bill. The butcher
wanted 75 cents for the egg producer
A board, ,pt,. arbitration consistine
of
three citizens was appointed, and they
appraiaea the hen at 95 cents, which was
