lWashington's Wheat Crop.

Wheat crop of Washington this
year, 27,650,000 bushels.
Carefully compiled estimates
made from data secured by large
number of experienced correspond
ents in the field, announces the
Oregonian, show the wheat crop of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho to
be approximately 100000 bush
els, an increase of more than
! 100000 bushels over last year
and but 1 100000 bushels less than
the record year of 1901. The acre
age sown to wheat was much great
er than in 1901, but poor crop in
the Willamette valley, the Grand
Ronde and the Big Bend materially
reduced the average.
In the Big Bend alone, the crop
was 100000 bushels less than in
1901 and the Grande Ronde is
about 100000 bushels less than
in the big year. Had these two
districts alone shown the same
yield per acre that was reached in
1901, the crop would have been far
in excess of 50,O0O,000 bushels. As
a matter Of fact early indications
pointed to 5O,00O,000 bushel crop,
but frost and dry weather combined
to cut it down in many localities
which heretofore have been reason
ably immune from serious damage.
There is still considerable spring
wheat to be cut, and it will be a
month yet before accurate figures
can be secured, but from the best
data obtainable at this time, it is
believed that the final returns will
show but little change.
BY a curious whim of nature the
high priced lands in the eastern
part Of the Palouse, where the big
yields were turned off last year. are
this year running down as low as
II and Is bushels per acre. The
Potlatch country running down in
to Idaho is also showing a much
poorer yield than last year. In
the Nez Perez country in Idaho, last
year the best district in the Pacific
northwest, dry weather has made
inroads on the amount expected
and the crop as a whole will fall
slightly below that Of last year.
There is some new acreage in the
Nez Perces, but some Of that which
was in wheat heretofore is this year
in barley. This grain, as we'll as
the wheat, got slightly pinched by
the hot weather, and while the
yield is fairly heavy, it is a little
short on weight compared with last
year.
The new lands in the Horse
Heaven country. while not yielding
as heavy as some of the light lands
In the Washtucna country or the
lower end of the Palouse, are turn
ing out an amount sufficient to
swell materially the totals for Yak
ina and Klickitat counties. Fur
ther details of the crops of the va
rlous localities have been given in
a number of letters from cores
pondents who have personally Wis
tied all of the principal wheat dis
tricts of the three states. The
probable output of the three states,
as indicated by returns received up
to September 1, is,as follows:

AWAITS NEW TRIAL.
Nan Patterson Goes Back to Tombs
for Another Week.
(By the Associated Press. }

New York, Nov 2S.-The jury in
the Patterson murder trial was dis
charged to-day and at the same time
District Attorney Jerome served notice
on Miss PattersOn's s counsel that new
jury would be selected and a re-triaf
begun at the term of court which
opens one week from to-day.
The illness of Edward Dressler, ct
juror who was stricken with apoplexy
last week, was the cause of to-day s
action. When the jurors illness was
reported at the opening of court last
Saturday Justice Davis ordered an al
journment until to-day. hoping that
Dressler would recover sufficiently to
allow a continuance of the trial. The
report of his physicians which was
made at the opening of court to-day
that he was in no condition to return
to his duties. left justice Davis no
alternative but to discharge the jury.
Durin gthe forenoon when it became
almost certain that this action would
be taken, a report went around the
court building that Miss Patterson s
counsel probably would make a stronS
effort to have the defendant released
on bail. Their acceptance of the no
tice served by the prosecution. how
ever seemed to dispose of that story.
Miss Patterson appeared very much
detected as she was led back to the
Tombs to await the beginning of the
new trial.

About these old preachers there is

men who fought their way and were
not afraid to speak They followed
the straightest line. They did not hes

OF the people. They knew their con-
gregations and they won them as best
they could In communities away from
the centres where all were plain, it
is not remarkable that they should
have exaggerated simplicity till it be-

Tho conference of today arrives on
