OFT of twpnty-one varieties of Oregon
wheat exhibited at the worlds fair, Super
intendent W. 81. Savage of the agricultural t
department, says the Judges found that c
one weighed 631 pou ids and another (spring
wheat) went 5S pounds. The judges said
that not half the wheat exhibited by the
other states was holding up to the standard 7
weIght-60 pounds. One sample of Oregon +
oats went 80 pounds and another 5l3. This :
is certainly grand showing when it is |
remembered that the standard weight for +
oats is SO pounds. Oregon barley went 81 f
pounds on the scales, being three pounds 9
above the standard weight.

The Salem Independent publishes the fol- fl
lowing in reference to Wallowa county: ''B. d
F. Ownby, one of the deputy sheriffs OF 7
Wallowa county. who brought cattle thief
to the penitentlary day hefore yesterday, o
says that times are terribly hard in his part b
OF the country. He lives in Enterprise, the d
county seat, ferty miles from Elgin, the
nearest railroad point. Wheat growers are =
to either haul their wheat forty q
miles and sell 1t for 33 cents or trade it for 81
high priced produce at home. The. indus I
tries of the county are wool, cattle .and
horses. Millions of pounds of wool are
stored there, and there Is absolutely no II
market at all for it. Beet cattle and horses f,
are away down in price and stores are re- a
fnsing credit. He says he has no idea what
the people will do this winter unless there
is a change for the better" b

doubtless very excellent quality, but the 0
pulpit is hardly an appropriate place from C

adopts this course whenever he learns OF o
misdeeds committed by erring members OF
