WHEAT.

On the basis Gf a newspaper state
ment that Mr.. Willard would make a
wheat tariff of 40 cents per bushel
from Portland and Walla Walla to
Minneapolis, and that the millers of
the latter city had leased the privi-
lege of erecting elevators on the whole
line of the Northern Pacific railroad,
the Statesman quotes Portland pa
per to the effect that this project, if
carried out, means the shipment of
wheat to Minneapolis, instead of to
Portland and the Sound. The rate
per ton from Walla Walla to Portland
has lately been reduced to 81, or 2l
cents per bushel, on the average; and
at the present rate Of quotations for
wheat charters-nominally from 40 to
to50 shillings--it has freight cost
of about 30 to 40 cents per bnshel in
addition to inland port charges, with
insurance added, the aggregate reach
ing about sixty cents per bushel or
more, the whole of which is collected
from the producer virtually at the

charges, the producer is also dis
counted for four or five months ad
vances on the cargo till it arrives at
port of destination. Per contra, Wal
la Walla Wheat exported by railroad
through medium Of elevators, saves
to the grangers from five to six cents
per bushel for grain sacks required
for all grain shipped westward; next,
he will save on the discount for in
surance and advances charged him for
marketing his crop via Cape Horn.
The rate S13.335 per to Minneapo-
lis (40 cents per busheD is only the

Crop Prospect.

Ifthis warm weather holds another
week, prices of farm produce will be
high another season. Late advices
from Southern California indicate
the ruin of crops by drought in that
section already. Unless rain comes
very soon crops will be failure over
the greater portion of the state,
On Puget Sound there is but a
small proportion of the land atall af
fected by the dry weather. For the
most part it is a help by warming the
soil for early planting. From pres
ent indications there will be the
usual crops in this country, with pric-
es that will make ranchers feel like
bonanza kings.
