Terrorize Their Countrymen In New York City. The editor of Tho Capital Journal has just returned from a fow days spent In tho great wheat belt of East ern Oregon. That part of tho stato lying about Pendleton and towards Walla Walla Is blessed with bumper grain and hay crops and has an abundance of fruit and vegetables. The talk Is about wheat nil tho way from 30 to 70 biiBhols to tho acre, and the tellers of these tales ex pect you to bollovo them, and what Is more the grain fields bear Investi gation. In some fields where tho club nnd bluestem wheat Is mixed, tho stalks stand four feet high, and ns ono kind hns a shorter head than another, there is n solid crop of hoods about a foot deep. The combined header nnd thresher cuts off this floor of solid grain bonds, and threshes them out nnd sacks them. Thirty mules or horses and three mon do tho business for 25 to 30' acres per day. If Ilnrrlmnn had two systems of railroads, and If thoro wero two Co lumbia rivers running full of boatB, they could not mnrkot that crop as faBt as tho producers will want to rush It off nt prosont prices. Besides wheat thoro aro Immense crops of oats, barley, hay of various kinds and alfalfa enough to feed tho coming gonerntion of Btock. Tho worst thing about tho bjg crops In Eastern Oregon Is tho result of Inordinately onrichlng tho bonanza farmer, driving up tho prico of land and swelling their bnnk accounts so thoy go to buying out their smaller neighbor, nnd it means less popula tion and greater land monopoly. Lands that wero bought for $25 ti" $35 an acre a fow years ago have gono up to $50 and $75. Pendleton Is n city of rich wheat farmors and cattlo mon. Tho banks hnvo monoy to ercmato.
