The completion of the Cascade locks
leads the Goldendale Agriculturist to
do a little figuring, as follows:
'sWasco and Klickitat counties ship
yearly 1,50O.00O OF wheat, and for
.very bushel the farmer will now re-
ceive from 5 to s cents more than he
otherwise would. That is what the com.
pletion of the locks mean. Sherman
county ships from 100000 to 1,5OO.-
600 of wheat, and on this vast amount
from 3 to cents a bushel will be added
to what would otherwise be the'price.
This means that Sl5O,OO0 to 100000
will be left yearly with the farmers
that otherwise they would not have re-
ceived.
