EASTERN OREGON WHEAT.
The Yield Placed at $4,000, 900 Bushels
This Season.

The wheat yield of Eastern Oregon is
given as 18 100000 bushels by A. NJ.
Jennings, editor of the Pendleton Trib-
6ne. He said:
SIT is conservatively estimated that
the twelve counties of Oregon east of the
Cascades, commonly known as Eastern
Oregon, will this year raise 18,000,000
bushels of wheat, or within 1000, 900
bushels OF the yield of the entire state in
1897. This is 5,150, 900 bushels more
than last years output in Eastern Ore
gon, but reports from threshing already
done justify the assertion. Imagine
outputs of fifty to sixty and even sixty
two bushels to the acre of wheat, and
yields of forty to forty-fve SO common
as to be considered only fair.
1.-The fret report of the season, which
came in about month ago, was an av-
erage, if remember correctly, of forty
two bushels to the acre. This was con-
sidered an exaggeration, as in past sea-
sons the average of the best grain has
been from thirty to thirty-five bushels,
but succeeding announcements that
even forty-two was far under the best
brought the conclusion that 1898 was
going to lead all history of that remark
able district.
"The best yield threshed thus far be-
longs, believe, to man named Nelson
near Weston, who is credited with get
ting sixty-two and half bushels to the
acre from a quarter section. Other
yields of from forty-f1ve to fifty-five
bushels to the acre in fields of from one
hundred and sixty to one thousand acres
are common.
"There has not been much wheat sold
in our district, but what has been dis
posed of has been sold has brought from
fifty to fifty-three cents. This is about
ten cents below the qotations of last
| year.
"The acreage of Eastern Oregon wheat
this year exceeds by probably a tenth
that of 1897, in Umatilla county there
being 100000 acres, against 100000 last
year.
''The actual output in dollars of the
grain fields and stock and sheep ranges
IN 1897 amounted to 1892 for every man
woman and child.

gave it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for physician and it was
under his care for week. At this time
the child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty-five
operations of the bowels every twelve
hours, and we were convinced that un-
less it soon obtained relief it would not
live. Chamherlain's Collie, Cholera and

CAvITE, July 81, 1898
The third EXPEDITION came in Monday,
July 25th, but everything is quiet. The
California boys moved across the bay a
a few days ago and they felt quite
elated to think that they should precede
the Oregonians, but if they knew that
we were going to be landed from the
war ships and that we are reserved with
the regulars, they would not feel so good.
Five of US nom commissioned officers
crossed the bay last Sunday to see the
the native soldiers, and we prowled
around until our curiosity was aroused
to see a battle between the SpanIards
and insurgents. There was a little fir
ing going on when we got started, and
when we got within few hundred yards
of the intrenchments they commenced
firing and the bullets flew all around US.
We stood a few minutes and reconnoi-
tered, but having come so far we con-
cluded we would see it through, so we
ran ahead and got behind the insur-
gents intrenchments for about twenty
minutes, during which time the fire was
so heavy that the twigs of the trees were
falling all around us.
After the fire had subsided little, we
moved around to the flank, where the
natives were with a cannon. After
helping them fire the cannon few
times we concluded we would. go back,
but retreat was not as easy as advance,
for we were exposed to the fire of the
enemy for at least mile, and as there
was no telling when they would stop and
as we had to he back for retreat roll, we
broke out into a brisk trot. 1t was
amusing to see the boys dodge when a
bullet came near them, and as was in
the rear, 1 commenced making fun of
them and they kept denying that they
lodged, so they said that they would
prove it by taking turns in the rear.
running and we walked the rest of the
way.
! 1t does not look as if we will have
much trouble with the Spaniards. Up
on the arrival of the Monterey they will
probably surrender.
When we get into Manila we are GO
| ing to have swell uniforms-white shoes,
white suits and white helmets.
All the Dalles boys are well. except
Walter Dickey, who has been sick ever
| since we came on shore. He now looks
quite badly, but 1 hope he will pull
| through.
