money OF his !orsakcn wife he bullded
up new fortune. But fate. like q tiger

lost all again. and the temple OF his

All was frultless. and finally the few

JoIN THE PARADE.-It is expected
that all will assist in making the
Fourth of July celebration a success,
and especially the parade part of it.
If you, or yourself and some friends
can make up something that will add
to the attraction OF that feature of the
days exercises do so, and the commit
tees citizens and visitors will appre-
ciate it. No special invitation from
any committee or person is necessary
to get into the parade, it is free for all.
There will be plenty of room some
where in the line and the officers in
charge will assign you a proper place.
No one will become fatigued marching
to the rapturous music of PENIS mil
itary band. So make yourself up,
represent or advertise something and
join the procession. The place OF
forming has not been selected as yet
and will depend somewhat upon length
OF line but announcements will be
made in next issue.

The Growing Grain.


grain crop comes the last of June and
before July 10. 1.-THE crop passes these
dates without injury from drouth or
hot winds it is believed by grain men
there is a reasonable assurance of
successful crop. There will still be
danger from early fall rains, but as
the spring is late growers and buyers
are hopeful that the fall rains may
not begin early.
The summer will be hottest at the
dreaded period and the grain this year
is not so well able to stand hot wealth
err as it usually is. 1t will be young
and tender and would suffer from a
drouth or hot winds. Two days of hot
wind might ruin grain crop.
There is little indication of serious
damage but growers are apprehensive.
The crop is an average OF month
late in eastern Washington. A year
ago at this time it was knee high
throughout the entire wheat district
while now it is but few inches above
the ground. Reports received last
week from all parts OF the wheat dis
trict indicates that the weather is far
from favorable. p
Grain buyers as we'll as growers are
anxious that nothing should happen
to the crop. There seems to be a
strong feeling that wheat will be
stronger this fall, although not COM
handing the price it did two years
ago. There are several reasons for
this feeling. There is a shortage OF
the crop in this country, estimated by
some grain men to be as great as 80
per cent. The worlds supply promises
to suffer greatly throus h crop Difficult
ties in Europe and other grain grow
ing sections.
The winter wheat crop Of the U. s..
will be harvested in a short time.
Texas has finished harvesting her
winter wheat and the central states
will finish harvesting this month. The
indications point to a shortage, and
and the country will depend upon the
territory between St. Paul and Taco
ma. If anything should happen to
the crop west of the Mississippi it is
expected there will be big shortage
in the worlds supply and an effort
will be made Immediately to secure
all wheat possible.
The Liverpool marked shows signs
of the pressure under which the wheat
buyers are laboring. The upward ten
tendency of the market has been
marked, but quotations have been
held down by the American market.
Frequently of late Liverpool has gone
up several points while the Chicago
closed weaker.
One thing that will assist the east
ern Washington farmers in harvesting
this seasons crop is the reduction
made in the price of penitentiary
grain sacks. They are to be sold at
50 % per 100 and there are orders now
for all the sacks the penitentiary will
be able to turn out before the crop is
harvested. 1t is expected "A million
grain sacks will be manufactured this
year or about one-sixth OF the demand
Grain sacks are selling on the coast
for 1915 and this is probably the price
dealers will have to pay during the
season for their sacks.

Thirty years ago we knew him well
wien boy playing along the banks
of the charming river lie loved so well,
and for which he wrote the popular
poem. We know OF nothing more
beautiful in American song and at re-
quest we publish it in full.
From the Cascades frozen gorges,
Leeping like child at play,
Winding, widening through the valley,
Bright Willamette glides away
Onward ever,
Lovely river,
Softly calling to the sea;
Time that scars us,
Mains and mars us,
Leaves no track or trench on thee.
Springs green witchery Is waving
Braid and border for thy side;
Grace forever haunts thy journey,
Beauty dimples on thy tide.
Through the purple gates of morning
Now thy roseate ripples dance;
Golden, then, when day departing.
On thy waters trails his lance;
Waiting, flashing,
Thinking, plashing,
Limpid volatile and free
Always hurried
To be buried
In the bitter moon-mad sea.
whence and whither2" through thy stream,
In thy crystal deeps inverted.
Swings picture Of the sky,
Like those wavering hopes Of Alden
Dimly in our dreams that lie;
Clouded often, drowned In turmoil,
Faint and lovely, far away
Wreathing sunshine on the morrow,
Breathing fragrance round today.
Love would wander
Here and ponder
Hitler poetry would dream.
Life's old questions,
Sad suggestions,
whence and waither?" through thy stream.
On the roaring wastes of ocean
Soon thy scattered waves shall toss:
Mid the surges' rhythmic thunder
Shall thy silver tongue be lost.
Oh! thy glimmering rush of gladness
Mocks this turbid life of mine.
Racing to the wild Forever,
Down the sloping path OF time!
Onward ever,
Lovely river,
Softly calling to the sea:
Time that scars US,
Mains and mars us,
Leaves no track or trench on thee.
The genesis of the poem was sur
rounded by melancholy. Maddened
by dome site unhappiness and the ef-
fects of strong drink, its writer stood
upon the banks of the beautiful stream
at sunrise, with dark thoughts of sell
destruction flashing through his brain.
But the beauty of the scene spoke to
his better impulses and proved the in
spiration of the song that has delight
ed thousands and must charm mil
lions throughout the future. This
poem was written in the poets youth
and inspired his friends and admirers
with high hopes for his future. 1t is
lamentable that coarse excuses have
come between them and the fulfilment
OF their expectations.
