, 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.

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

Flood ef Gold Follows the Harvest hi'
Prosperous Grain Center.
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.

ployaa of Estate
Arden, N. Y., Sept, 18. Through
the quiet aisles of Ramapo woods, the
body of Edward Henry Hsrriman was
carried yesterday from tbe great bouse
be never lived to tee completed, and
laid in Its last resting piece on tbe
Arden hillside. "."
Tbe rulers of Wall street eame from
New York to pay their last tribute,
opt tbe most prominent part in tbe cer
emony was taken by tbe men who knew
him best as a country squire and mas
ter of tbe great estate, which covers
48,000 acres of hill and valley.
His general superintendent, his mas
ter carpenter, his master mason and
the managers and assistant managers of
his dairies, his farms and bis trotting
stables bore bis coffin. Tbs funeral
was private and only those who were
personal friends of tbe family and bad
received Invitations from Mrsr Hsrri
man were admitted. Tbe out-of-town
party arrived at Arden at 8 :16 p. m.
on a special train.
The first service was holy commu
nion, celebrated at 10 a. m. by the
Rev. J. Holmes McGuineat, at the
Hsrriman home, on Tower Hill. At
11 o'clock there came a public memori
al service at St John's church for the
employes of tbe farm and parishioners,
who, on account of lack of space, were
unable to attend the funeral service
later. Mrs. Charles D. Simons, Hr.
Hsrriman ' sister, her husband, two
daughters and Orlando H. Herri man, a
brother-in-law, were tbe only relatives
present.
Elaborate preeautiona were taken to
preserve the privacy of the afternoon
service. Several score of employes,
aided by a number of policemen, guard
ed all roads over which the fune.-al pro
cession passed and kept watch st inter
vals ef 20 yards around the patch of
woods which includes tbe Hsrriman
burial plot.
The casket one solid mass of lilies
of the valley and green vines with an
immense bunch of crimson noes on top
waa carried to' the altar by eight
bearers in black and wearing black
ekull caps. The regular'funerel service
waa conducted by Dr. MeGuinees, as
sisted by Rev. G. Nelson, archdeacon
of the Cathedral of 8L John tbs Divine
in New York. A male quartet sod the
choir of Grace church, New York, sang
"Abide With Me" and "There Is a
Land of Pure Delight," Mr. Barrl
man's favorite hymns. The service
lasted but 20 minutes. Their tbs bear
ers carried the casket to the burial
plot, 100 yards op the hill. 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"'
