The Biz ralou.e Harre.t.

CoLrAx, Sept. i4-lspecial. THE grain
yields OF the Palouse valley seem to be get
ting better as harvest progresses. At.first
the average was abou. thirty bushels per
acre; now il Is pretty close to thirty-tive.
This is owing to the fact that crops ia the
western part Of the valley. whore they ma
ture earliest, are always lighter than
farther east, where late maturity affords o
better chance for full development. Fall
sown wheat around Pullman and on Spring
fat. near Colfax. is making forty bushels
70 the acre very easily. Spring wheat in
the same localities produces thirty bushels.
In the vicinity of Palouse, Garfield,
Oakesdale. Pennington and Tekoa the
averages will probably not exceed thirty
seven bushels fall sown, and twenty-eight
or thirty spring sown. Around Union
town and Cotton, in the southeastern part
OF Whitman county, the highest records
will be made, many fields already having
given seventy bushels per acre. If farm
ers could only receive a good price they
would be swimming in money.

Hop Picker. Making Poor Wages.

Taco MA, Sept. 14--Fspecial. Parties
returnin from the hop fields near Puyal-
Iup report that there are many piekers
idle at present. Most Of the hops are re-
ported by unemployed pickers as small
and light, and so far very few piekers have
averaged $50 per day. and it is said most
OF them have all they can do 10 make 81.
One unemployed picker says large
number OF plckers have gone home In dis
gust. 1t Is understood here that Yakima
is also overcrowded with piekers. and that
the city has established q soup house and
is now working men on the streets in re-
turn for three meal tickets: also that the
pickers have sacked the orchards and
vegetable gardens near Yakima, and that
many of the pickers would be glad TO re-
turn home, but are without the means to
do so. At present IL Is useless for any one
TO SO TO the fields with the expectation of
getting work. unless they have made en-
