Crops in the Chehalis valley.

ARExpEEx, Aug. Is. Especial. Your
correspondent has recently made trip
through the Chehalis valley and Western
Washington, and found farmers doing
well. The hay crop is fair. but the price
is low, and no sales except in small guam
titles. Grain looks well. Fruit trees are
loaded down. Hops are in fine condition,
and the lice pest is not half so bad as has
been reported. In some hop yards there
are scarcely any lice. and in Others they
have done but little damage, though every
where they are quite plentiful. Several
Chehalis valley yards have not been in
iured at all. Potatoes and vegetables are
as good as ever seen, but only near the
towns is there any market. Here we are
eating fruit and vegetables from Portland
and San Francisco at prices that are al
most prohibitory. Fifteen miles up the
Chehalis valley are plenty of these prod
ucts that cannot be sold at any price.

NORTH YAKIMA, Aug. 15.-TSpecial +
The people of North Yakima and the sur
rounding country are jubilant TODAY. The
problem OF irrigating the lands above the
ditch lines has been solved, and the stim-
ulus of this has been felt Immediately in
the real estate business and it is thought
it will permeate every line of trade. Three
months ago number of gentlemen of this
and Sound cities entered upon the project
OF endeavoring to irrigate the lands of the
upper Mckee by means of artesIan water.
They purchased an expensive boring plant,
and, after securing thousands of acres
through desert filings and an extensive
tract OF land from the Northern Pacific,
work was commenced. Flowing water
was struck yesterday morning at depth
of little over 400 feet, the flow being
estimated at the rate of s0,-
600 gallons per diem. The
work of boring was continued throughout
the day, and by night the flow had in
creased to 250,000 gallons Nothing was
known of this in the city until today,
when M. S. Scudder, who has been super
intending the work, came in and reported
that they had water enough to supply the
entire city of North Yakima, and that
created.
The water was sent through an eight
inch pipe thirty-three feet above the
ground. and the engineer claims that if
the pressure and flow keeps increasing at
the present rate at the close of work to-
night the water will be forced sixty feet
into the air.
This means more to Yakima than any,
thing that has ever happened or been done
for her, for it means the opening of hun
dreds of thousands of acres of land which
have heretofore been considered worthless,
except for grazing purposes, but which,
when once under water, will make the
choicest hop and orchard land in Eastern
Washington. The county assessor esti-
mates that the assessment roll will be
doubled in Yakima through these irriga-
ton schemes.

wALLA wALLA WHEAT AT Is.
The High Prices Cause the Farmers ts
Seek the Market.

WALLA WALLA, Aug. 15.-[Special.l i
The local wheat market today is in
booming condition. The city is full of
farmers who reported the grain yields as
greatly exceeding their expectations. The
wheat market, which during the past
week had stood at 67 cents for club and 50
for bluestem on the cars, late Friday after
noon took a sudden rise. Offers were
made of 74@75c. William Jones, grain
merchant, bonght 115,000 bushels of
wheat from Babcock, the wheat
king, of Eureka Flat, paying
IS cents. Other sales in large quantities
were also made by Jones and other buyers.
Saturday morning the market opened
briskly, all the dealers offering "a cents for
club and IS for bluestem, while an occa-
sional higher offer for finest grades was
made. The market had a firm tone all
day. The aggregate of sales exceeded
10000 bushels for today. Farmers In gen.
eral are willing to accept the offers, and it
is expected that if the market holds at the
present figures the sales on Monday will
he immense.

BERtls, Aug. 15--TAssociated Press,
Copyrighted, 1891. despite positive assur-
ances TO the contrary, it was generally
hoped that the cabinet meeting this after
noon would resolve on some reduction in
the corn duties. 1t was learned this even
ing that although the governments de-
cisions are modified they are determined
not to reduce the corn duties until abso-
lutely compelled to do 50.
The Reichsanzeigr says: In view of the
unfavorable prospects, owing to wet
weather and prohibition Of the exporta-
ton of rye from Russia, the government
has decided as an experiment to reduce
freight rates on corn and mill cereals over
state railways. Although tins will in
crease facilities Of transport to the dis
tressed provinces their want is an in
creased stock of grain. The government
evidently relies on America to supply the
deficiency, but the public, and especially
the workingmen, are not SO easily satisfied
as that.

push the figures down, but failed. Euro
pean buyers at New York began coming in
strongly. The bulls rallied with whoop,
and then came the widest market scene in
years. Wheat went up and down in big
leaps, going TO $103Iz, then to $l.05 al
most IN one bound. At $1.03h Ed
partridge came into the pit as a big
ouyer, but could find no sellers. The
price went up to sl.04, then bounded back
and forth between that and $l05 for ten
minutes. The bears made another desper-
ate effort to send prices down. Momen-
tariiy the price retreated, but then leaped
to $1.05K, Sl06, Sl06<, $l07. $l07H,
finally reaching sl.0S within half an hour
When the market again advanced the men
who had sold were c!amering to buy back.
being willing TO pay from l to 8 cents
more than they sold for.
From the visitors gallery the wheat-pit
looked like an assemblage of dangerous
lunaties. Men crowded together in a
mass, discarded coats and hats and clawed
each other like wild animals, while the
constant roar. out of which no in
teiligent sound could be picked,
rose TO the ceiling. After the
market closed there were many traders
who were frightened at the idea of holding
wheat over Sunday at Sl.06k. The timid
ones do not, however, seem to have scared
the other traders, for, as noted above, De-
cember wheat went at ST. 10 on the curb be-
fore O'Clock and adventurous brokers
were singing calls at from SILL to $1.lS.
What Monday will bring forth is
matter of grave concern to many, but
there is talk of still higher wheat. The
bears are not saying much. One remark
able thing is that there have been no
failures. Everybody got through the
clearing house all right on Fridays busi-
ness, but it is not unlikely that as result
OF today's wildness some unlucky dealers
may ''go broke" Still, there was no
rumor on the board at the close of trading
OF any prospective failure of any individual
or firm.
In corn there was also much excitement
today, largely in sympathy with wheat.
September corn was offered at 6lc, and
after drop went up as high as 6l11c, clos
ing fraction over &c.
Rye shot up from 96c yesterday morning
to $1.04 at the close today. This was
largely due to the recent prohibition of ex-
ports and Germany's recent discovery that
a shortage exists there in the crop.
