OREcoS's WnKAr CRor. or.-Accofdlng
to reports made to the Oregon weather
bureau. Is.ooe, 900 bushels oi wheat were
raised In Oregon this ,an, year. Cla,aon
county claims an average oil 90 bushels
to the acre, Waseo only III Lian'a
average 10 given "a ss4 and the total
acreage a 9i2, making the total Yield
about 100000 bushciG Tillamook
county only has ~ acres Ia cultivation.
Ciatsop county only Iso. UmalIlla takes
the lead with s7.aI6. The showing Il
good one. As thr reports made arc only
estimates in most cases. compiled, though
ffom abou. 5000 sources. IL is difficult TO
tell how reliable they arc, but probably IA
rrtPonsible As those Of any state.
CoSsoLESo. There Is grea, deal Of
corSola,lou In the following for the news
paper man: "Chaunccy 81 Depew aays
that rich men keep neither their money
nor securities In their Offices. Mr. ciews
says that rich men conduct their business
down TO s, Transaction by checks. SID
ney Dilloa says that he never carries
more than 50 cents In his pocket. Men
who carry all the money they possess n
their pockets usually have very little. The
practice of carrying sums of money up
wards OF five dollars In the pockets Is fast
going out of date. II every man had
twenty-five dollars In his pockets there
would be no money anywhere elAe.''
y PoRrLAsp FAKE.-.The Portland
Dispatch exposes fake in real estate. II
appears that certain persons purchase n
lot Of waste land at about sf2s per acre,
miles and miles away from Portland, lay /
il out as additions 30 the city and either
sell the lots on the installmcnt plan or
give them away as an inducemeu; to some
other swlnd!e. In any case the party
getting lot has to pay S3.so for the deed
10 his "lot" which Ia all profit. Al ten |
lots TO the acre this brings IN Gas and there
are so many fools that the promoters are
colnlng money Mt 1t. People ought 10 be
very careful In buying Portland "real |
estate" for It Is likely 10 be on Mount
Hood a. any where.
A PECULIAR AcciDEsT.-Peter Nc !
Auley started for his boai ding house, near
the round-house, last night, carrying two |
bottles Of beer wrapped in a newspaper.
Near the corner OF Lane street and the |
railroad track lac stumbled and fell against |
n telegraph poll cracking one OF the bot
Ties and causing the other TO explode with |
loud report. The Ennd In which McAu-
ley held the package was pretty severely |
cut by the fyitg glass and his overcoat |
above the elbow torn. II proved good |
tk!ng for him that the bottles were thlckly |
wrapped In paper. er.-Roseburg Plaindealer. |
