Wheat Yield Exceeds the Bumper
Crop of 1891.
CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The Post today
says: "According to reports received
by railway companies and business
men, the lagest wheat crop in the
history of the United States will be
harvested within a fortnight. The
winter wheat yield, which aggregates
from 375, ZOO, 900 to 40O, 100000 will be
increased to the extent of nearly 800,
100000 from the spring-wheat region.
The bumper crop. of 1891 will be
'eclipsed this year by 100000, 900 BUSH
els, from present indications. Reports
received from members of the Nation
al Association of Merchants &
Travellers, who are assembled here to
attend the fall meeting, afford positive
proof, it is declared, that new era of
prosperity is at hand throughout the
great West. Railroad officials who
have just come in from extended trips
throughout the spring wheat and
corn-growing states, make equally
optimistic reports. State crop reports
received today from Kansas and Mis-
souri, and Michigan say: "A bumper
crop is here. ~

PORTLAND, Aug. 6.-John P. Nc
Entee, who was recently appointed
deouty health officer by the Simon
ring of this city. was before the last
election an uncompromising demo-

quite large number of wolves in

Mr.. Simon for his kindness in bring

For the Place.

For the Place.
PORTLAND, Aug. 9.-The friends of
Binger Hermann are making a des-
perate attempt to create senatorial
boom in the interest of the ex-con-
gresham. 1t has been reported from
good authority that several members
elect of the legislature have already
been interviewed in the interest of
Hermann. The fact that neither
Corbett nor Simon stand a ghost of
show of election, and that the choice
must fall to some dark horse, has
tended to put renewed vigor into the
George and Hermann booms with
honors about evenly divided. But it
is said to Herman's credit that in case
he is able to make anything of a show
ing nj the senatorial race. that he will
also be able to control several pop
ulist-fusion votes from the southern
part of the state, thereby insuring his
election. The willy Binger has not
made Misunderstanding, and Southern
