ENDS CHURCH ROW.
REV. &. ID. Nickelsen Withdrws
From Methodist Ministry.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 3-Rev. G. D..
Nickelsen, deposed pastor OF the Metho-
dist church at Cofax, has Withdrawn
from the ministry and ended by his own
action the brewing scandal which
threatened to disrupt the annual confer
,ence now in session here. Nlckelsen
held a long conference with Bishop
Hamilton last night and as a result his
was read this morning and accepted.
Nickelsen's charges against Presiding
Elder Brown and Rev. Mr.. Hodgson
were also passed this morning and as
Mr.. Nickelsen is no longer minister
the charges will not be read.
Mr.. Nickelsen was tried last Winter
on charge of conduct unbecoming
minister, towit, in asking Mrs. Dunbar,
OF Goldendale, former parishioner, to
come to Spokane and commit suicide
with him. Nickelsen pleaded temporary
insanity, but was duly ousted and his
appeal was to be tried at this conference
Bishop Hamilton says:
Ibis resignation was accepted under
fire. pointed out to him last night
shat this was for the best, that he was a
young man. that by living pure life in
the future nothing was to prevent his
being reinstaed in the membership of
tue church, the task being that he must
begin bis church life all over again.
@'As matters stand. no charges made
10y Mr.. Nickelsen have been filed with
the conference against Presiding Elder
Brown or Rev. Mr.. Hodpson. 1t is true
thatT received copy of the charges.
out l haye merely acted as their
custodian and they have in no wise
come up for consideration by the con.
ference.
"Mr. Nickelsen, himself, has not been
Sried on the charges made against him
last Winter. He merely had prelini-
nary hearing before the local church
body. By his withdrawal nothing more
will be done in investigating the cherges
against Mr.. Eickelsen.

wheat Yield Of 1908 Is go per cent
Short.

The wheat crop of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho for 1903 IS nearly 20 per
cent less than that of last year The
season is two to three weeks later than
usual, and for that reason it s more
difficult to make an accurate forecast of
the final result at his time. Tue above
figures are compiled from the best
Obtainable data and are believed to
indicate fairly the final out turn with a
continuation of existing conditions
There is still a considerable area of
spring wheat that is 80 late that i, is in
danger of frost and fail rains, either of
which might change the result now
predicted. The dimens ons of thu crop
now being harvested are more difficult
to determine than those of any previous
crop since 1896 There is vast amount
of new land in wheat, especially in
Washington, and there is euch wide
variation in the yields on this new land
that perfect accuracy is impossible until
the returns are all in. On the lands
that have been farmed for many years,
good and bad yields are 80 indiscrimi-
nately mixed that trouble is encountered
in sizing them up OF the three states,
Idaho has by far the best crop, fully 5
per cent better than last year. Oregon
comes next with decrease OF little
over 10 per cent, as compared with last
year, while Washington IS about 25 per
cent behind last year's figures. The
'Oregonian's estimate on the Oregon crop
by counties is as follows:
