What "Press" Correspondent Says
Regarding Them.
Athena, Aug l, to the Editor -
Many Athenians have some very
fine specimens of sunhower grow
ing in their yards. Mr.. Stamper
and Prof. Hawks have fine ones
looking over 10-foot stockade
at each other.
DIR. Dell has very fine variety.
1t is believed by some that he uses
them in the manufacture Of oint-
ments.
DR.. Sharp was interviewed next.
He had not much experience with
sunflowers, and was inclined to
think the leaves absorbed the mois-
ture, and believed them good
thing to have around but thought
sweet elder was the grandest thing
in Materia Medicas He has two
fine specimens in luxuriant growth
near his residence.
Hun San didn't sabe sunf1oWers.
Councilman Spencer has some
grand specimens Of the Texas pie
face variety.
Postmaster Maloney takes vast
amount of pride in his patch" Of
sunhowers. They bear evidence OF
what our city water will do.
w. E. Young don't like old Sops
namesake and wont have them
around. He is gently rearing a
patch Of corn, He has hoed il
four times and "top dressed" it
He thinks there is something work
ing on the roots and he has sent
for Horace Greeley's book, "What
Know About Farming"
The Foss place was next visited
and I found the croquet ground full.
of sunfowers. They were ofthe
"golden curl' variety, and were
my favorites. ALL AROUND Town.

Estimate of the Yield.

Col. J, H. Raley and D. A. Fat
tulo have returned from q tour of
Umatilla county, on which they
give very close attention to the
condition of the crops. They have
carefully estimated the amount Of
grain in the fields, and on the ba-
sis of last years crop, in their
opinion, the yield will be between
one-fourth and one-third. The
spring grain is not going to cut
much figure in the amount to be
be harvested, and to large ex-
tent, is an absolute failure. There
is quite large amount of good
fall sown wheat which will yield
up to the accustomed standard Of
production. There will be con-
siderable shrunken wheat and the
average grade will be low.
The estimate Of these two gentle
man is based on accurate knowl-
edge Of all parts of the county prior
to their visit, and their tour has
given them such further informa-
tion as makes their opinion Of
greatest value.--East Oregonian.

Heading has commenced with
vigor in all the Columbia river
counties. Crops Of fall-sown grain
is turning out better than the ex-
pectations. This condition is es-
pecially evident on low ground.
Barley sown in the fall is a good
crop, though the yield will be below
the average. There is smaller
acreage Of barley. Spring
sown grain crops are still suffering.
Warm, dry weather has made
failure of them as rule. The
crops in Wasco and Sherman are
very good, approaching near to the

THEY WANT HOGS.
Pacific Meat Company Cannot Secure
Enough to Run Them.

Facifc Meat company cannot secure
Enongh to Run Them.
HI. f. Putnam says the e. O.,
buyer for the Pacific Meat Com
pany, alighted from the w, & G..
r. train Monday evening and made
preparations Immediately to go in
to the Wallowa country to inter-
view the stock men. Mr.. Putnam
has just been in Tacoma. He said
to reporter that his packing house
company is now prepared to kill
and handle 500 hogs per day.
Only $50 are actually being killed.
The reason why the amount Of
pork they are putting up is so
small is because hogs cannot be
purchased in sufficient quantities.
The company wants hogs and
wants them badly. They are buy
ing all the good ones which can be
found and searching out new terri
tory from which to ship from Ia
coma. The Pacific company has
been able to supply no more than
current needs. AS fast as the
pork has been put up, it has been
shipped out. In fact, the house
has been pushed up to supply the
demand,
All this should encourage farm
.ers to raise more hogs. In Spo-
kane, Tacoma and Portland are
extensive packing establishments,
and each has increased rather than
diminished the capacity for hand
ling porkers. In several localities
the hog industry has been wonder
fully developed and in year or
two will be double present proper
tions.

A Pendleton Horse

The Oregonian says Of G hehalis;
Frank Frazier's handsome black
stallion Chehalis won fine race
at Sacramento, but this has not
surprised Oregon horsemen. 1t is
generally believed by those who
know horses when they see them
that Chehalis is a wonder. Ger
tain it is that he paced a mile at
Irvington in tryout in the fast
time of 2:11 fiat, and was pulled up
three lengths from the wire. The
track was very heavy, too, the
morning Chehalis was caught MAX
ing such fast time. His course
will be watched with great interest
while on the California circuit.
Frazier has him entered in a lot Of
slow races that he is sure to take
in one-two-three order. They are
snaps. Some horses may make

A Relic of Early Days.

Mr.. Winans. who lives at the
fisheries labove The Dalles, has in
his possession stencil bearing the
name of Captain Meriweather Lewis
who, in company with Clarke, made
the famous Lewis and Clarke ex-
pedition in 1904. The stencil was
used for marking goods belonging
to Captain Lewis, and came into
the possession of the Winans family
long time ago. The relic is in
good condition, and its ancient
appearance tells mute story of an
early day. Mr.. Winans has prom
ised to ship the stencil to relative
Of Captain Lewis in the East, who
wishes to look at it, and promises
faithfully to returnit. The express
company will be given instructions
not to let it go from the office, SO
richly is it treasured by its owner.

him go pretty fast in these slow
classes, however.At Sacramento the
other day he showed along at 2:154
to win one Of the heats. But this
was like play for Chehalis. He
will not find any horses fast enough
to push him hard until he gets in-
to the free-for-all or 2:12 or 2:10
class. Chehalis is another son of
the great Altamont and a full bro
ther of Del Norte and Touchet.
Frazier was offered $4,000 for him
at lrvington three weeks ago by w.
H. Simpson of Los Angeles. He
refused the proffer, and said he
would not sell him for $1,000.
Chehalis is certainly a great horse

To Be q Bride.

A Chinese maiden came in on
the branch last night and went to
Portland to be married. says the
Tribune. She was born in Walla
Walla "a years ago, and her name
is Gee. Another Chinese woman
and her brother. accompanied her.
Her intended husband is a conver-
ted Chinamen, who breaches the
Baptist faith to his countrymen in
Portland. Considerable curiosity
was excited by her strange costume
which was bright red, trimmed
with gold tinsel, and completely
enveloped her so that she could
not see even to walk about, but
was guided by her companions.

average. Recently great numbers
of grasshoppers have come over in
to Wasco and Sherman from the
adjacent counties on the east, and
they have done much damage
to crops in general, though all
crops are advanced. The oat crop
seems to have suffered the most.
On low land, where the oats are
green the grasshoppers have cut off
the stalk as we'll as the blade. The
average yield offall-sown grain will
also be reached in the Walla Walla
valley, but the spring -sown has
suffered in that section. Wasco
and Sherman counties and in
Walla Walla valley will produce
good quality of fall-sown grain.
In the other Columbia valley
counties the berry will be small,
and in some sections the grain will
be shriveled. Only grain on low
ground will produce a. good quality.
/ In sections Of Union and Baker
counties some spring grain had
been cut for hay, since the warm
/ weather dispelled the the hope
that It would still fill and become
a fair crop. A conservative esti-
mate of the grain crop south and
east of the Blue mountains is two
thirds Of an average. A very good
quality will be produced in NAL
heur, Klamath and Harney from
the irrigated lands. Grasshoppers
are still doing destructive work.
Early frosts damaged more grain
| than the drouth in the elevated
sections. There is an abundance
of fruit, and the fruit shipments
are very large. Peaches, plums,
and early apples are Of the finest
quality. Fall apples will be abun-
dant. Potatoes are still green
though if the warm, dry weather
continues the potatoes will be
small and the yield light. Hay
ing continues with generally light
| yields. The spring wheat and oats
which have been cut for hay, to-
gether with the old hay left over
from last season, will improve the
prospects for the winter. There
are some very good fields Of alfalfa,
All ranges are suffering for rain.
There is not grass sufficient on the
range to supply the needs Of the
stock, A rain even at this late
date would benefit many crops
and improve the range grass.

~ and Snide.
EHhere are shows and shows and

show that ever visited Athena
was that which brought out a large
audience last Monday night; name
ly, Loyd's Pavilion Uncle Toms

sively advertised and the only re-
deeming feature--a fairly good
band in the street parade--brought
out many people in the evening to
witness an alleged production Of
Hariett Beecher Stoves fam
GUS story. To say our people
were disappointed, is putting it
mildly, for such conglomorated
mass of attempts at acting was
never before witnessed ir this city.
