A Portland man, who la a gentleman of
great penetration and who is given to
studying economical questions, made use
of soma stringent remark the other day
to The Journal, which are exceedingly
apropos to the present time. , He said,
among other things:
"When a town or an Individual Is 'left
out' of anything. It is because either the
town or the individual is
TOO SLOW AND PHLEGMATIC
to keep In, or so insignificant that either
can be Ignored with impunity.

Pendleton looking into matters pertain
ing to the wheat conditions. Mr. ; Mc
Comas Is regarded as a wheat expert for
the Inland empire, and accorded The
Journal a brief Interview, In which he
aald:
"In Umatilla, County, which, supplies
between one-fourth and one-fifth of the
wheat raised In Oregon, the present con.
dltone are encouraging. During the early .
weeks of the growing season there "was,
a Jack of-moisture, and we feared the
results upon the output of wheat. Later
rams f hvaeome, 7 and i they' ' "hav ; so !
brightei.ed the prospects that there Is ex
pectation of a good crop.
"In - UmatUla County, whers approxi
mately B,000,00tf bushels are raised, only
about 75,000 bushels remain unsold. Hence,
there Is no activity in the local markets
fct Pendleton. There will be none until
the new crop haa been harvested, nl is
ready for. selling. .
"As to -general conditions in out part
of ths state, evory town Is growing:
building proceeds up to the Unfit of the
ibtlity of the dealers to supply materials
and ithe -contraotora, to secure, workmen.
The inland empire is on ths upgrade,
with latent resources being developed
rabidly. ' There Is a great future for that
region, - and' that future is Jest how 1n :
sight, with Its fine growth and steady
evolution, of more desirable conditions."

INCIDENT
Charles Galloway's SpeecU -at
McAUonvUle Made a Hit.
(Journal Special Service.)
McMINNVILLE. Or., May 8.-Charles
V, Galloway, Democratic nominee for the
Legislature., from Yamhill county; mads
a hit here the other day when he was
nominated In the county convention. - In
askriowtedglng the honor, Mr.' Galloway
spoke briefly, paying especial attention
to. ths .Intimations frequently made by
the, opposition that Democrats are less
fervant lovers of the old flag than are
Republicans. He cited the fact that Dem
ocratic . boys fought under Dewey ' and
Schley and Miles, all of whom, are Dem
ocrats, and honored by Democrats. Those
yoUfig Democrats have never' been
thought less loyal or brave, and. In
deed, Baye' borne their full share in the
fighting of battles tn which the . honor
of the flag was Involved.
The speech . took the , convention by
storm, and. the applause was deafening.
To add to the significance of ths inci
dent, an old Soldier arose and said to the.
delegates that he was a member of a
Union regiment In the Civil War, and
that he was now Supporting the Demo
cratic ticket. He said that there were
plenty of old soldiers who are doing Ue
same,' and that their votes would be
counted , right on election day. ',
It served to enliven the convention, and
Mr. Galloway was congratulated r upon
the excellent prospects that were before
him as a candidate for Representative.
