pounds OF fine gold worth 500 an ounce
without leaving trace Of their identity.
The robbery is the most successful
and remarkable ever accomplished on
the Pacific coast, and was evidently the
work OF skilled mechanics. The whole
affair was most skillfully planned and
as skilIfully executed 1t is supposed

come over San Francisco bay.
In their haste to get away thev left
two gold bars, worth nearly $4,000,
lying on the bank at the waters edge.
Inside the vault were several sacks con-
tanning $4,000, but these were not
touched. The police at all the bay
cities were notified of the crime, but all
they could discover we're a few OF the
tools that the robbers had used.
The Selby Smelling & Lead Company
is the largest of it's kind on the Pacific
coast. Ores are sent from all over the
Western country to be smelted and
refined, and the gold is then turned
over to the mint A steamer makes
special trips between San Franci'co and
the works, carrying the ores one way
and bringing back the refined gold.

ExhaustIess Soil.

One remarkable quality about the
wheat belt of Eastern Oregon and East
ern Washington is that the longer it is
cultivated the better crops it produces.
a Pendleton paper, among many crop
items, most OF which show that the
wheat crop is turning out far better than
was expected a few weeks ago, in tact
ls about an average crop, saws that the
farms in the Helix and Vansycle dis
tricts are yielding on an average about
35 bushels to the acre. These localities
especially that known as the Vansycle
district, are not near the mountains,
where the soil is deep and rich, but lie
toward the northern edge of the wheat
belt, where it merges into the arid strip
adjacent to the Columbia river. Twenty
five years ago this region was devoted
TO sheep grazing, and when the bunch
grass was eaten off and out, scrawny
sage brush sprang up. The soil was a
fine, sandy dust, tinctured in spots with
alkali, and men began raising wheat
there with no great amount OF conf
dence, and because better lands were
occupied. At first, for some seasons,
the crops were generally light; some
seasons they were almost a failure, but
on the whole they kept improving. The
longer the soil was cultivated the more
fertile it became, until now it seems
that it yields So bushels OF wheat an
acre, which is NEARLY an average crop"

Sheepmen Warned to Keep Away

CKIAH, Aug 6.-There are 1000 cattle
IN the Camas Creek Valley, besides a
number of horses. In former wears the
sheep on the ranges have been allowed
to come down into the valley, much TO
the disgust Of the citizens who were at

ranges had become parched and dry,
the green OF the valley was great
temptation to the sheep. As q natural
result the grass was torn up until the
rich valley became a desert. As the
number Of sheep in Umatilla County
has increased from 10000 TO 25O.O 600.

PLANS FOR MANOA
ROAD RESORT
Efforts Being Made to Secure a
Building for Use as a
Restaurant.

Strenuous efforts are being made TO
secure site for saloon in Aanoa Val
ley near the Rapid Transit line of road.
Proposals have been made to owners of
property in the district about the top of
the hill on the main road for the lease
of suitable rooms. the rentals offered
being out of proportion TO what has
heretofore been the supposed value Of
Valley homes.
One enterprising caterer made a. pro-
posal TO the Island Realty Company to
take long lease upon the Cooper man
sion, with the idea of runni. q a road
house upon the most approved plans. He
could not get the property. as it Is under
long lease TO Mr.. E Tenney Peck. so he
turned his attention to other residences
in The valley, and may even yet find
something which will do for his purpose.
The plan is said to be TO secure a build
ing which would serve for a series Of
supper rooms as we'll as a general din
ing room, where there could be given
evening dances. Should this be done,
application will be made for a license
for a saloon, and the house will be run
