WHEAT FREIoArs.
NO Reduction Probable for the Crop
of 1895.

NO Reduction Probable for the Crop
of 1895.
1t is not probable that there will
this season be reduction offreight
rates for wheat over the 0. R. &N.
road from Umatilla county to Port
land, though from points between
Heppner and the Dalles to Portland
reduction of from 10 to II per
cent has been made. The railroad
commissioners have for several
months been trying to effect a re.
duction in rates from points east.
Umatilla county is the district in
which the largest quantity ofgrain
is grown says the Tribune. Their
efforts sofar have been unsuccessful,
the company being reluctant to re-
duce their receipts by the amount
which would thus be cut off. Last
year the company's revenues were
diminished by $4,000 on account
of the reduction in rates from
points east of Umatilla, and the
present reduction in rate from
points west of Umatilla will cause
decrease of $4,000 in receipts,
The principal reason given by the
company against the reduction ask
ed for Umatilla county is the effect
it would have upon adjacent points
in Washington. If the lower rates
were made for this county the
people in Walla Walla and Column
bia counties would at once demand
reductions. AS these points are
about the same distance from Port
land as Umatilla county it would
be difficult to refuse lower rates for
them also. Thatis the way the
matter rests at the present, though
it is not possible to asy what will
happen before time to move the
wheat.

The McFerran Case.

The case of Lauran McFerran VS..
Umatilla County has not been end
ed yet, though the plaintiff won the
case appealed to the supreme court
from the circuit court on the con-
struction of statues. The point re-
viewed by the supreme court was as
to the amount of damages obtaina-
BILE from a acounty under the statute
governing such actions, and the up
per court decided that justice
court has jurisdiction up to $1,000,
the circuit court has jurisdiction in
case for any amount of damages
asked. Mrs. McFerran asks $40,
600 and value Of the vehicle, on ac-
count of being thrown from de-
fective bridge near Helix.

A Pretty Tough Fate.

Persons returning from the
Okanogan country confirm the re-
port that an Indian child had been
eaten by hogs few days ago, says
the WILDER Register. It seems that
a squaw residing just below the
Indian school, on the Okanogan
river, had left her papoose, tied to
a board in the customary manner,
leaning against a tree while she
went to the river to do some wash
ing, when she returned she found
several head of hogs fighting over
the remains of her child. The hogs
had devoured the child, all except
its head, and it only resembled q
ball of dirt. A more horrible scene
could scarcely be imagined.

Delivering Horses.

Judge Switzler commenced last

horses he has sold to the Portland
horse meat canning company. He
has sold his entire band, and the
number will run from 5000 to 5000.
Mr.. Switzler, says the E. 0.

horses he has lost. There may
be 5000 and there may
be 1000, but he thinks there are be-

provement.
Reports from Wasco and Sher-
man counties continue favorable
regarding all crops; wheat, oats,
barley and potatoes are doing es-
pecially well. Owing to the low
prices for last years crop, the acre
age Of the present grain crop was
materially reduced. The quality
Of grain in Wasco and Sherman
counties will be A 1; and the yield
per acre will approach near to the
average.
Harvest has commenced in earn
est throughout the Columbia val
ley. South and east of the Blue
mountains and including the
counties of Umatilla and Morrow,
the yields of all kinds Of grain will
fall short of the average, and the
quality will be inferior. This sec
tion has suffered greatly from the
drouth. In some sections Of the
above-described territory the spring
sown grain will scarcely pay the
cost Of harvesting it, and a field ol
grain which promises anything
near an average yield is rare. There
are some good fields of barely in

DISPUTE of Ownership.

others claim ownership to an ex-

will admit that he has done so or

Union county. There is a good
prospect for fruit in all sections,
and the potato crop has withstood
the dry weather surprisingly well.
Fruit is making a rapid growth.
and the early varieties of apples
are ripe. Blackberries are ripe and
plentiful ia the market. Hood
river peaches are also ripe. In
Klamath and Harney counties the
fruit will be ofgood quality, though
not plentiful, owing to the work of
the early frosts. Haying continues,
and alfalfa is still being cut. The
drouth has materially lessened the
yield Of hay, and but for the fact
that the season of 1894 produced
more than was required for con-
sumption, consequently leaving
much of last years crop on hand,
farmers would be at loss for feed
for their stock, which, unfortunate
ly, is the case in many sections.
