HARRIMAN IN TOMB. OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST FARM SELLS FOR 1 08. BOO. , Ashland Tract, Cultivated Sine 1869, Brings Fancy Price. . Ashland One of tba biggest Ntl es tate deals la the history of this section was tbe sale of the E. K. Anderson farm, five miles northeast ef Ashland, on of tbe oldest and choicest farms In the Rogue river Taller to O. A. Moras for 1106,500. Mr. Horse is re cently from Louisiana, and be has ex tensive investments in this section. The farm disposed of consists of 308 acres, the sal price being I860 an acre. Of the tract sold 48 acres are inapple and peach trees from two to -even years1 old. Fifty acres are in alfalfa, the remainder being devoted to fruit land favorably located, and the entire tract will eventually be turned into fruib acreage. Mr. Anderson has fanned this par ticular tract, of land since 1868, and upon it grew the first wheat ever milled in this part of the stats. Some jeers ago he purchased home property in. Ashland and has only lived on the farm a portion of the time, a eon, Q. N. Anderson,, having charge of the iilaee. . Heed River Union Closes SI6O.O0O Deal With Eastern Buyers. Hood River Joseph Stelnhardt of the commission firm of Stainhardt ft Kelly, the New York firm that bought the output of the Hood River Apple growers' onion last year, lias set the apple buying ball rolling by again pur bcasing the entire crop handled by the anion at a gross figure that will total over 1150,000. According t Mr. Stelnhardt and the officers of the onion, the announcement of the sals will cause a quick scramble for box fro it (n other Northwest sec tions, as they have been waiting for the signal from Hood River in order to get a Tine on prices. The sale includes the purchase of 0,&00 to 70,000 boxes of fancy fruit, or about 126 ears, and it is claimed that it will be the biggest deal made this year by one firm. The fruit Is to tut Mnwlillt necked for Stainhardt and Kelly and will be labeled with a new label jut adopted by the union and an -effort will be made to send one large shipment in a solid train of refrigera tor ears to New York. 'Would Hurry Allotments. Klamath Palls Complaint is made of unnecessary delay in allotments of the Klamath Indian reservation. The matter is in the hands of Rev. H. F. White, who began the task two years ago. At that time It was announced that It would require not more than six months to do the work. When the Indiana have received their lands there will be left over about 200.000 acres of fertile farming land, stock range and timbered tracts. If tbeee land are opened for settlement It will mean an enormous influx of people into tbe Klamath country and will greatly in crease the resources of this section. Milton Growers Ship Apples. Milton-W. E. Gibson, of the Slbeon Fruit company, of Chicago, Is In Hil ton shipping about 100 carloads of pranes bought from the Milton Fruit growers' onion. The pries being paid Is 182 per ton. Last year the crop was sold for $15 per ton. A large feres of packers has been employed in tbe sheds for two weeks and a larger force of pickers has been engaged In gathering tbe fruit The orchards owned by C. L. Stewart, C W. Ray and John If. Brown, new Crockett, are good illustrations of tbe prone indue try here. Orffl Tor iw near rteeeowrg.

Pendleton, The lore of 12.000,000 la bright gold pieces, without taint or reserve, sends a thrill through the peo ple ef Umatilla county, atthis season of the year that cannot be appreciated by any one who as not fslt the charm of the grain fields when each golden head nods to the thrifty farmer its readiness to be converted into gold for bis pores as reward for his efforts dar ing tbe 12 months closing with the gathering In of tbe sheaves. Tbe call of the grain fields has been beard, tbe tremendous task of saving tbe harvest has been performed, the marketing of too grain is the doty which calls forth the best judgment and tsot of tbe farm er, in this county, where to raise grain successfully rand largely is the ambi tion of every owner of land. - Umatilla county farmers have just finished harvesting a crop of grain that will place folly $8,00u,000 in their purses. The crop will net about as much money as any produced In the county, inasmuch as the price to be re ceived will be much higher than was taken for the "bumper'erop of 1007, when Umatilla county produced more than 1 per cent of all the wheat grown In the United States. Umatilla coun ty is easily the grain center of Oregon, producing practically one third of all the itate. There was a time when ! Umatilla county "took off it bat," metaphorically speaking, te the Wil lamette valley :'o the growing of grain, but that day has long since passed into history. Hay Prices High. Klamath Falls Despite tbe fact that the hay crop is fully op to the average and the acreage is larger than hereto fore, stockmen com plain about excer sive prices. Alfalfa is held at 8 and 910 in the stack. Last year the crop was not quite op to tbe average and tbe price ranged from $7 to $8.60. It Is contended by stockmen that unless the producers sell for lees money there will be a shortage in tbe regular num ber of cattle to be wintered in tbs KU math basin. Hop Crop 60,000 Bales. Salem -Hoppicktng in the Krebs yards is finished. Mr. Krebs estimates the yield of the Krebs garde at 1,800 Lbales, aboot 1,200 less than the output of a normal season. Krebs declares that, while tbe bops are lighter, they are of an unusually fine quality, with a very-slight amount of mold, consider ing the unfavorable conditions. Hs estimates tbe Ore goo crop at not to ex ceed 60,000 balsa.

Torre was no room inside the burial grotnd - for more than 16 or 20 beside the nourners and the two. officiating' clergymen. Others stood on the -road outside and looked over tbe stone wall. Several hundred Harriman employes and their families stood with bared beads outside the church during the service. - J"' CHILDREN GREET TAFT.
