Everything is most encouraging to
the wheat grower. The crop is large

obtainable.
No new wheat has yet been received
at The Dalles warehouses, threshing
being hardly under way, hence there
may be said to be no market at present.

wheat will begin coming in from all
and it is expected the mar
ket will open at 6S to II cents.

While many Oregonians are rum
