WAGGoNER FARM SOLD
Nebraska Man Bought it-Place is Near
Monroe and is Large.

There has been a sale of the Tom

cess Of administration.

sale had been consummated. No
papers in the transaction have been
placed on the records, and the price
at which the property changed
hands is not known. It is suppos-

the probate court will be neces-
sary to finally consummate the
deal.

IT BooMs NOW
Wheat Adyancing-Australian Buyers
on the Coast, Purchasing it.

"Wheat is booming" is what a
local miller said Thursday. The
price in Corvallis has risen to 81
cents. In Portland, the price
jumped up three cents in one day
and is now 60. In San Francisco
where a few months ago it was
81 90 and thereabouts, it is now
quoted at $1.35 per Genital. In
Chicago, the figure is "a cents.
firm, per bushel'
The cause of the advance is said
in the main to be a shortage in
Australia. For years that country
has been an exporter. AS all
know, it has been one of the chief
rivals of the United States in the
expectation of cereals. Today
Australian buyers are on the Paci-
ic Coast, as purchasers of wheat,
How much they want and how
long they will buy, nobody knows.
At the present they are taking all
that is offered at advanced prices.
It is this cause that makes the Pa
cifc Coast markets quote rela-
lively sitter figures than are OBJ
servab1e in Chicago and elsewhere.
Of the extent of the shortage in
Australia but little is known. The
crop there is not ready to harvest
until late in January or early in
February. A feature of interest
is that buyers from that country
have strong preference for Ore
gon over any other wheat.
In this section, the advance
comes too late to be of any mater
ia1 benefit to the entire body of
wheat growers. Most of them
have already sold their wheat. The
lack of prospect after harvest of an
advance, caused large number to
sell at that time. From then on
until now, sales have continued
until not more than one-ffth of
the crop remains in the hands of
the grower. The estimated wheat
crop of the county is about 4oo,-
900 bushels this season. The
amount is somewhat less than last
year. It is more than the year
preceding Of this 100000 bushels
about $40, 900 has been bought by
the mills, warehousemen and other
dealers
A local miller said Thursday
that the outlook at this time is
favorable for good prices for wheat
for the next two or three years.
Several conditions, he said, point
to it. There is no large surplus
With exporting coun-
:ries like Australia in the market
for wheat, the situation is most
favorable for the grower. AS to
he present prices, whether they
will go higher, or suffer the usual
'eactionary decline, that remains,
1e said, to be seen.

BLUE AND WHITE CHINA
The Quaint Legend OF the Familiar and

= China.

The old-fasllioned blue and white china
is very much in vogue just at present, and
probably thousands Of persons use the
familiar old willow pattern dishes without
knowing the romance Of the design. 1t
is the old, old story. In the mansion on
the right dwelt wealthy mandarin with
his only daughter, Li-chi. This young
lady was in love with her fathers secre-
tary, Chang, whose modest residence was
on the island seemingly at no great dis
lance from the mainland, on the upper
left side of the platter. One day, so the
story goes, the mandarin heard the lovers
plighting their vows under the orange tree
by his house, and, bouncing down upon
them. he then and there forbade their
future meetings., whereupon they eloped
and for time hid in the gardeners cot
tage beyond the bridge and the willow
tree. The three figures on the bridge rep
resent the mandarin and. two of his
servants on their way to their hiding
place; but when they arrived there. the
lovers had already escaped in a: boat to
Changs island home, whittier the &man-
DARN also followed, and would have slain
them in his wrath had not the gods kindly
changed them In the nick Of time into
a pair of turtle doves, shown at the top Of
the picture. It is called the willow pat
tern because the fight Of the lovers took
place in the season when the willow sheds
it's blossoms. 3. r.:
