Headers are running in all directions
from snn-up till sun-down. II is the
grandest harvest In the history OF Gil
liam county. Our people surely have
reason to feel proud OF their county, as
we are better off than any county in Or
egon. We have fewer mortgaged homes,
less indebtedness, less need for lawyers.
less taxes, fewer thrifty doctors than
any county in the state.
II our U. s. Senators would only dis
band and go home it would be great
relief TO the country. Wonder if J. n.
Dolph knows that it takes one pound oi
copper to make l40 one-cent pieces
which costs the government 20 cents
also one pound of nickel to make LOG
five-cent pieces, which costs 80 cents

The Dalles Chronicle.

New wheat is said to be worth from
forty TO forty-two cents per bushel in
Portland, but there have not been ship
ments enough to establish price. At
forty cents the price here would be
about thirty-three cents. From the
worlds reported crop, it is more likely
the price will be under that figure than
over it. The outlook for the wheat
grower is indeed gloomy, for at present
prices there is nothing in raising it. Ii
the prevailing low prices, however, will
stimulate the stock business, it will not
be entirely bad.
With wheat at its present rates every
farmer should put it into hogs. There
is q radical difference between thirty
cent wheat and fifteen-cent bacon. Our
farmers spend their money for sacks,
threshing and hauling until the wheat
does not yield them net over fifteen
cents. By feeding the grain the whole
crop can be driven to market without
expense, and besides bringing better re-
turns to the farmer, will give employ
ment to packers in this country, instead
of those in Omaha.
