THE WHEAT YIELD.
Reports Frem the Threshers. rs.-The
Average SO far is From Nine to
s. yenteen Bushels

| Reports Ertm the IhresherS.-Ihe
Average so far is From Nine to
s. yenteen Bushels,
The uppermost question in Bent
on comfy minds now is "What is
the wheat yield to be?" Much de-
pend on how the waving wheat fields
and the threshiug machines an
swer the question. When farmers
do not prosper. merchants, black
smiths and professional men do not
prosper. In this agricultural COM
munity every line is dependent up
on the husbandman, and the veal
or the woe of one is locked up in
the success or failure of the other.
Next week threshing of the fall
sown grain begins. The Smith
Whiteaker machine opens up at L
w Smiths place Wednesday. The
Davis-McGee- Whiteside-Hunt-
er machine starts at the W H Nc
Bee place Tuesday. The Taylor
and Trace machine starts next
week, but the day has not yet been
fixed. The same is true of the
Gellatly machine, Ahead of all
others is the Linderman-Lock-
Knot machine Its fall run began
last Tuesday. There was day
and half of threshing on the E W
Fisher farm. From there the
machine went to Sol Kings and
threshed until yesterday morning.
In the forenoon there was remov.
al from Kings to Locke's, where
threshing is now in progress.
Across the Willamette in Linn
several threshers are said to be at
work. Among others is the Hof1ake
outfit, which has already threshed
several fall crops.
The yields where threshing has
been done are not so discouraging
as might have been expected. The
crop, though much shortened, is in
no sense a failure. On the Fisher
farm wheat made an aver.
age of II bushels. Those who saw
the field, however, say that in an
ordinary year the average would
not have been less than 35 bushels.
On the Hofake farm across the
Willamette from a large field of
summer fallow was only nine bush
els per acre. In the vicinity of
Oakville a similar field went ten
bushels. On the same field last
year the average was 25 bushels.
On the Casper Zierolf farm four
acres of wheat threshed as an ex-
pertinent Monday, made an aver
age of Is bushels. Oats on the
same place averaged % bushels.

CHEAP TLUBBLE -
A Chinaman's Distress A letter From
His Wife -Hog-meat High.

"In China, muchee tlubble.
Cinnamon no likee. Too muchee
fight, all sem Mclean man." That
is what Cinnamon ri said yester-
day. He had just received a letter
from his wife in China. The mis-
sive is supposed to have breathed
much love and affe ction, as we'll as
distress, for ii was visibly affected.
The letter said that the prices of
everything in China had advanced
since the war began. Thus, rice
before the war was dollar per 100
pounds; now it was five dollars per
100. To get small trunk through
the Chinese custom house before
the war cost 81; now it costs $40.
But here is where the shoe pinches.
Even as lady loves a new spring
bonnet, the chinese love pigs.
"Heap likee pig all time eatee,
heap good" was tbs description of
the chinamens love of hog meat.
Before the war. to get pig through
the custom house cost one cent per
pound; now it costs five cents per
pound. The consequent laceration
of the average Chinese bosom is
easily understood.
tbs letter was on tissue paper in
Chinese characters and was about
yard long. 1t read up and down
the page instead of across it, Tt
said the Chinese troubles were
caused by missionaries. "Chlist-
ian makee heap Hubble. Ketchum

East-That IS the Charge against
Edwards.

East-Tfat IS the Char ge against
Edwards.
A warrant is out for the arrest OF
r. E. Edwards. Itcharges him with
biga my aud adultry, The offensel
charged is that Edwards. while still,
lawfully married to one woman
entered into the marriage relation
with another.
Edwards lives in the Alsea
country, near the foot of Digger
mountain. The records in the
clerks office show that Edwards
was married to Miss E. S. Strake in
Corvallis or the first of last Feb
ruary. The marriage was solem--
nized in the law office of E Holgate,
Mr. Holgate as justice of the peace
officiating. The witnesses to the
ceremony were John Burnett and
Mrs A Strake. The latter is the
mother of the young lady whom
Edwards took as his bride. Miss
Strake was only seventeen years Of
age at the time of the wedding, and
along with the application for the
license was filed the mothers writ
ten consent to the marriage.
At the time Of the marriage,
Edwards was the husband of an
other woman, whose residence is
now in the East. and from whom
he has never been divorced. The
case is brought in the court of John
Edwards, justice of peace for Alsea
precinct. The warrant was sworn
out by District Attorney E R Bry-
son, who went to Alsea to look up
evidence in the case Wednesday.
The proceeding is brought in the
Alsea court to save milage and
costs. The justice in the case is
not related to the defendant. The
defendant is to be arrested in Alsea
this morning, and his preliminary
examination will follow as soon as
arrangements are made. The case
is said to be very plain one, with
abundant evidence on the side of
the state. Prior to Edwards latest
marriage, the Strakes, mother and
daughter were, as they still are,
residents of AIsea.

DENNIS STOVALL'S LETTER.
Facts About Baker City and Sumpter
Where the Money Genes From.

Editor TINES I hear and read
great deal of late regarding the
mines and mineral resources of
Oregon, more especially the district
surrounding Baker City and Sump-
ter.
For the ediic6tion of the interest
ed readers of the TINES, and as there
are several Benton county people
who have set their stakes here with
the many others, [ as one who has
become quite we'll acquainted with
this country would beg leave to say
few words.
There is no doubt whatever but
that the Baker and Sumpter min
ing district is booming; as Sumpter
has grown during the past three
yearfrom a village of 800 to city of
nearly 5000 people. Baker City
now contains 10000 people where
only short time ago there were but
half that number. People are
focking in here by the scores and
hundreds
But here comes the all important
question Do the resources of the
country justify this rapid growth?
If should be asked the question
1 would say, I believe not.
In the first place there is no agri-
culture here; that is none to amount
to anything as the great host of
people require. The country SUR
rounding Baker City is naught bu:
barren hills, where there is naught
to be seen but tufts Of sage brush and
clouds of rolling sand. How it
makes the heart of the Webfooter
long for home, for the green mead
ows, the ripping streams and the
cool shades to look across these
miles and miles of mountains with
out a single tree in sight,-naught
but age.brush and sand, and sand
and sage-brusb, With an occasional
jack rabbit that perhaps came in
here during the crusades.
But is there gold here? Yes there
is, just lots of it. But haven't got
it, neither has my neighbor or the
the people living across the street.
There is money here too, just lots
of it, but it is that which l and my
'neighbor and the people across the
street, together with others brought
here when we came. There are mines
here too, just lots of them, and
thousands and thousands of dollars
are spent in working them. But
how many paying mines are there?
Very few. But what makes Baker
boom? Well we have just lots of
mines and ittakes money to run
them. So if you will be kind
enough to take up another it will
mean that much more money for
the ''grafters."

1t Averaged Fifteen Bushels

The first grain threshed in Ben
ton this season was at the Casper
Zierolf farm Monday. Four acres
of wheat averaged fifteen bushels
per acre, and a small acreage of
oats made an average Of % bushels.
A farmer who saw it said that the
straw in the wheat was good enough
for yield of thirty bushels. The
yield however, was not below what
Mr. Zierolf expected.
The grain was threshed by the
new Taylor-Tracer outfit. The
threshing, in fact was only done
for trial of the machine. The out
tit was purchased of J r Smith &

REVENUE OFFICERS CLASH
OVER FREDERICK DHU

San Francisco, June 16.-The ship
Roderick Dhu. which left this port on
Thursday bound for Honolulu, will he
received by revenue officers upon ar
rival at her port of destination. The
Roderick Dhu carried a cargo largely
made up of beer, tobacco and spirits.
Under the Hawaiian act all such mer-
chandise became subject to Internal
revenue tax at noon Thursday. The
goods on the Roderick Dhu were not
stamped. The vessel left after the
noon hour, clearance having been Sc
cured before the local revenue officials
had chance to interfere. Letters were
sent yesterday to Honolulu, instructing
the revenue officers at that port to re-
ceive the Roderick Dhu and prevent

goods after the Hawaiian law should
go into effect. Appeal was made yes
.terday to the department for a modi-
fication of the order as to several YES
sells which are partially loaded with

This privilege, II allowed, however,
will apply only to the vessels which
had taxable goods on board at the time
the law went into effect.
