OrcgOD.s Grain CrOp.


SAN Francisco, May IA Portland
dispatch says the reports of the crops,
ba5Gd on tng Dest fnf0rnation;- are an
encouraging character. In Willamette
Valley the wheat looks as well as at any
previous time for years. In the west side
counties the prospect is even better. The
light rains have somewhat retarded the
seeding, but with favorable weather from
the present time the crop will be fully
equal to that of last season. In the re-
gion lying east Of the Cascade Mountains
the increased acreage over last year is
from 40 to As per cent. A failure in the
wheat crops in eastern Oregon and Wash
ington Territory was never known, and in
one year only was there a light yield. The
surplus valley wheat estimate this year is
800, 900 tons. Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington Territory surplus this year is 49,
900 tons. The estimate of the total sur
plus for export is 375,0 900 tons.
