Bio PROFITS IN PARTING.
willamette Valley Ranchers WIN Do
Wen This Year.

Willamette valley farmers are re-
joicing over the prospect for good
profits In almost every thing they
have TO sell this year. Not only are
prices good, but yields are large and
as consequence there will be more
money In the valley this year than
there has been for more than a de-
cade before.
Wheat at Salem Is quoted at 10
cents, with the mills paying q z-cent
premium. In ordinary years all above
so cents would be clear profit, but be-
cause Of the high wages paid to farm
help this season 1t will take from So
to SIS cents to pay the cost of produc-
tion. The average yield, SO far as
can be learned, will be about 20 bush
els to the acre or more. This means
a clear profit Of from SO to $3.50 an
acre on wheat, after allowing for all
labor and expenses. Oats have turn
ed out better In proportion than
wheat, and the large yield. with q
price Of about 25 cents per bushel,
will leave good profit on that crop
The season has been very favorable
for hay. and yields have been good
The prices quoted at present are from
81 to So a ton in the local market for
loose hay. Farmers say that about
half Of this price is profit. Yields run
from two to three tons per acre. max
ing this crop better paying one than
wheat.
Hops promise a price ranging from
Is cents upward, and 1t Is generally
figured that all above s cents is profit.
though growers who hire all their
work done and give their yards a good
spraying say that the cost of produc-
ton is 10 cents pound. At any
rate. there seems to be an excellent
profit this year.
The prune crop is large, and though
the domestic market has not opened
has been making sales at its own
price, 2% cent basis. which price
leaves the grower a better than fair"
margin.
All through the year dairy products
have brought an extraordinary price,
and even country butter has found
ready market at paying figures.
Woolgrowers sold their fieeces this
year at high price, and sheep have
been in demand all through the year.

Not Pnmnered.

The professor who was the chief in
structor of the present King of Italy
during his boyhood has lately made
some interesting statements as to the
method pursued In the education of the
prince.
The first day went to instruct the
prince" says the author, 81 was in
formed by those in authority that was
to treat him as would any other pupil,
neither showing him any undue respect
nor any indulgence even in trifing
matters. For example, If anything was
needed during the lesson 1t was the
prince who should get 1t, and not /; and
II book or anything like 1t were to
fall from the table 1t was the prince
who should pick 1t up"
The tutor was sharp In his ,reprl-
mands II the prince slighted his les.
soEs.
"Your royal highness should remem-
ber," he said, on one occasion, that a
kings son, II he is a blockhead. will
remain a blockhead, for in this respect
there is no difference between.him and
the son of shoemaker"
At another time the prince asked to
be relieved from exercise on horseback
on the plea that he had headache.
"If a battle were to be fought to, day,
do you think a pain In the head ought
to prevent your royal highness from
appearing at the head Of his troopsy''
asked the tutor. s
The prince rode that day, as usual.

DESPERATE BREAKS JAIL.
Throws Bolt of Cell Door, and Digs
Through Wall With Poker.

Butte, Mont, Aug. ia Miner
special from Sheridan, Wyo., says
Boone Potter, the notorious despera-
do, wanted in North Carolina for the
murder of two deputy sheriffs, who was
captured ten days ago by Marshall
Crinnell, made sensational escape
from the Sheridan county Jail last
night. The combination of the Jail
door had not been turned, and Potter,
securing broom handle and a chair
rung. tied them together with a hand
kerchief, so that they formed right
angle. With this instrument he sue.
ceeded in throwing back the bolt to
the door.
Once outside the csge, he securrd a
poker and made an. opening through
the brick wall. Another prisoner soon
after followed him out, went to the po-
lice station and gave the alarm. Sher-
iff Nelson and Marshal Crinnell have
offered reward of $3.50 for his recap
ture. Potter was being held for requi-
sition from North Carolina.

DAILY ATrENpANcE sMALLEp.
Though Orsgon's School Population HAS
Greatly Increased.

Superintendent Of Public Tnstruc.
ton J. H. Ackerman has just finished
compiling the annual school statis-
tics as gathered from the reports re-
Gently nled in his Office by the sever.
al county superintendents. AS the re-
ports for last year covered a period
OF 10 months, there is no basis for
comparisons except in a few partic.
ulars.
The school census for the year end
ing In June, 1903, shows that there
are in the state 14S,757 persons be.
tween the ages of 4 and 20 years. AZ
the same time last year the school
population was 13s.466, so that an in
crease Of 5291 is shown.
The average daily attendance in All
the public schools of the state during
the preceding year has been 64.2f9.
while for the preceding year It was
66,779, or decrease Of 1850. A de-
crease in the average daily attend.

cATTLEMEN REFUSE TO SELL.
Despite Scarcity of Feed They Hold for
Better Figures.


Never in the history OF the country
around Dale has the cattle market
been as unsettled as it is at the pres
ent time. Prices offered by export
buyers are extremely low, and the
cattle raisers are refusing to sell.
Crowding on top Of this, there is
scarcity of hay as compared with last
year, and prices are running noun
tain high. Hay Is selling in the field
at $40 per ton, which Is 81 higher
than 1t was last fall. Cattle-raisers
who have not a sufficient supply are
trying to contract for all they can Sc
cure, but the farmer will not SELL
Again there are more cattle on the
range this year than last. without suf
ficient feed for them. .Notwithstand-
ing the discouraging state of affairs
which confront the cattleman, he is
willing to wait for further develop
ments.
The export cattle-buyers who have
been in the country have had to go to
other parts because they could not Sc
cure the cattle here. The buyers
give Portland quotations here at $2.70
per hundred for cows and 1885 for
steers. The average is $3.75, and
even better prices than that were re-
ceived last year. If both the buyer
and the seller continue to hold out, 1t
is believed that there will be num-
Der of forced sales on the part OF the
stockmen. and that they will sell at
loss to themselves.

To Avoid Heavy Grade.

The work of the Southern Pacific

and an idea can be formed of the pur-
poses of the railroad people. It has
been known for several months that
the company contemplated the run
ming of it's West side trains into
Portland by the East side, in order to
avoid the heavy grade on Fourth
street out of Portland. This purpose
is not only now in evidence, but fur

No Grass to Fight Over.

There is no range war in the Upper
Deschutes valley. On the contrary,
there is the peace Of desolation. The
range was overstocked and eaten out
and no grass worth making war over
remains. Where neat cattle and
horses once throve by the thousands
there is now none too much feed for
a few hundreds. Twenty years ago
there was no finer grazing region In
the United States. Men who now ride
all day in cloud of dust tell of the
time when the grass was up to their
knees as they bestrode their horses,
and cattle fairly wallowed in the feed
that covered the so miles of present
desert between Bend and Prineville.

WASTE OF POTOMAC WATER

Corporation Counsel Asked to Give
Opinion as to Housekeepers' Rights.

The Commissioners have asked the
Corporation Counsel for opinion as to
the rights of the Commissioners to en-
fierce regulations preventing the waste
of Potomac water outside the limits of
Washington and Georgetown. The ques-
tion arose through report made re-
Gently by Lieutenant Kenney. of tie
Tenth precinct.

Schneider noticed Mrs. A. Rosa Hans
mann, Of 1927 Brighton Avenue. using

quested Mrs. Hansmann to stop, where
upon she became indignant and declared
her intention TO have him removed from
the force. The matter reached Major syI
vester finally. and he in turn referred it
10 Commissioner Biddle.
The Engineer Commissioner holds that
the regulations do not provide against
the use OF Potomac water in quantities
by the county residents. but he believes
such residents who waste water should
be penalized by having their supply cut
