WINTER WHEAT THRrvRs.
The Ground Is Soaked With An
Abundance Of Moisture

Reports from different sections Of the
wheat belt show that conditions gener-
ally are very good at this season, the fall
sown grain having passed through the
winter months excelleDtly. While the
growth has not been stronger than usual,
there has been but little cold weather,
and the ground has been soaked with an
abundance Of moisture since early fall.
1n fact the winter has practically passed
with no zero weather, and the frosty
nights have had no tendency to freeze
out the wheat, even where il was sown
late and secured a poor start in the
fall.
The rainfall has been very good, and
II has been generally distributed over
Tie wheat section. The snowfall has
been lighter than il pest years, but the
winter has been noFa modefute, % that

Been Good Market for Gram
and Horses.
4e people of Umatilla county are up
rms against the proposition Of the
ernment abandoning Fort Walla
lila as military post. They realize
Importance of having garrison Of
BPS near by in case OF emergency.
de from this convenience, the Walla
ALA military post has afforded the
hatilla farmer an excellent market for
Jain, hay and horsedesh in the past.
hich is another reason why they are
fsposed TO seeing the government re-
ain the post.
Recently the commercial club Of
Walla Walla addressed letter to T. s.
lie Grow, cashier Of the First National
Bank Of Athena, interesting him in the
inatterY Mr.. lie Grow at once referred
the matter to Hon. 7. j. Kirk and Hon.
H. 9. Adams, who at once communicated
with Senator Mitchell. Relative to ok
listing circumstances Senator Mitchell
replied as follows:
WASHINGTON, d. O., Jan. 81, 1904.
Honorables H. O. Adams, President Of
First National Bank and Represent
atiye in State Legislature, and 7, j.
Kirk, Vice President Of First Ma
tional Bank, Athena, Oregon.
Gentlemen: beg respectfully to ae-
knowledge receipt Of your Of January
26th, in which you state your people are
much interested in the retention of Fort
Walla Walla, and you ask my best en-
deavors to prevent the abandonment oi
that post.
! have been doing all in my powaz d
conjunction with the senator's and repre-
sentatives from the state Of Washington
to secure the retention Of this post. W.
have been unable, so far, to induce tbs
secretary Of war to conform to oul
wishes. Consequently Senator Foster
Of Washington, has introduced pro
posed amendment to an appropriation
bill in the senate, the object Of which il
to secure by legislation, If possible, th'
retention Of Fort Walla Walla. / vii
do all in my power to have the post re
tanned. The war department, however
seems to be impressed with the belle
that the post ought to be abandoned

ton paper. "At present there is no evi.l
dence Of anything Of the kind. The
price ofwheat remains at 81 cents, and
there is no demand for export trade.
All the wheat that is being sold in the
northwest today is on milling demand
only. Exporters claim they cannot
handle the wheat at the present prices,
and so do not bid for it. or course, if
the export market should grow stronger
with an increased demand, the price
would increase correspondingly, and the
exporters would be able to handle the
grain. But they claim they can not do
SO at present."
Mr.. McComas is an extensive wheat
grower in addition to being a heavy
buyer, and he says that in his opinion
there will be no sudden advance in the
price of wheat. "Of course, = he con-
tinued, sthis war may push the price
up, but not for some time. People who
expected big jump towards the dollar
mark in wheat as soon as war was de-
clared did so without any reason what
ever, for it would be foolishness on the
part OF either nation to go into this war
without making suitable preparations.
And suitable preparations would mean
that they have plenty Of upplies on
hand. That is just what they have
done During the fall and winter there
has been d steady demand from the
Orient for our -four. Plenty Of -four
now on hand as the milling condition
will testify. Now, unless great quaint.
ties OF supplies are destroyed by one
army or the other there will be no sud
den or big demand for our flour. But
il this war should continue for say three
or four months, then we might expect
an increased demand for -four, which OF
course would raise the price Of wheat
and also the price Of -four, which means
the same thing. Our -four goes to the
ORIENT, while our wheat goes to Europe,
principally. But very little wheat from
the northwest goes to either China or
Japan. They want -four only, 50 you
see the price of our wheat is controlled
by the European market. !"

Tax Roll Work.

The Office force of the sheriff's office is
busy with the tax roll, both in taking
in taxes over the counter, and in making
out the statements asked for by those
living out Of the county. In short
time, when the people begin to rush into
the office in order to get their payments
made before the rebate clause in the law
is void, man will be appointed to work
during the night on the statements from
the out-of-the wey districts. This ac-
ton is made necessary from the fact that
during the daytime the men have not
time to use the bontsf for other purposes
than those lined up at the counter.
