PROMISE OF A BIG CROP.
Umatina Wheat Fields are In a Flourish
Ing Condition.

PENDLETON.-Base on reports
try, the wheat crop, conservatively es-
timated, will amount to more than
s,000,000 bushels. The condition Of
growing grain at the present time Is
considered most satisfactory and un-
less the weather within the next three
weeks proves unfavorable, farmers
say this years crop will reach 1,5OO,-
900 bushels in excess of last year.
The wheat il the vicinity of Pen
dleton is quite far advanced, having
headed out several days ago. The Sec
|tion Of the county between Pendleton
and Athena, which is owned by the
Umatilla Indians, is an immense ex-
panse Of waving grain. Thousands of
acres in this locality are rented by the
Indians to the large farmers at a
nominal figure, and comprise the rich
est farming land in the country. The
average annual yield is from 80 to 35
bushels an acre, and accordingly the
profit to the farmer is very largo. In
reality, the profits realized by the
farmers by renting these lands are
greater than they would be If owned
by the farmers themselves, since q
comparatively small working capital
is required. The reservation wheat
land will, this year, produce the larg-
est portion of the crop of the county,
provided the grain escapes injury
from any tricks of the weather during
the critical period.
Grain in that part OF the county
northwest Of the city is also reported
to be in a very healthy condition. 1t
has headed and reached the stage for
haying. The land in that locality is
lighter and of course the yield is
never as large as that of the reserva-
tion lands, yet anything approaching
a partial failure has never been known
there.
In the Helix country wheat is look
ing good and an average crop is in
prospect. The early frosts did some
damage to grain in that locality, but
by the recent heavy rains the affected
grain will make a satisfactory yield.
Out of 1000 acres owned by Christian
Breeding less than 40 acres were dam
aged. Other stands suffered in a less
degree.
Farmers living south and south
east of the city also give most favor
able reports of growing grain and feel
assured that they will harvest an un-
usually large crop this year.

large number Of those who drew prizes

DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF
RESULTS in VERMONT

New York, Sept. 8-The following
statement concerning the result in Ver-
mont was issued by Chairman Thomas
Taggart, Of the democratic national conn
inittec, and was copcurred In by William
f. Sheehan, chairman of the executive
committee, and Delaney Nicoll, vice
chairman:
The result in Vermont is not srr~
prising in view Of the unparalleled eff
forts made by the republicans and the
quiet campaign conducted by the dem
socrats. The administration concentrat-
ed all its forces and resources upon
that state, holding in the last week 200
meetings. The candidate for vice pres
ident, the secretary of war, the speaker
of the house of representatives, senator's
of the United States and representatives
in congress, assisted BY host of lesser
lights, made urgent appeals to the re-
publican farmers to 60 To the polls.
Moreover, it was proclaimed through
out the state that the president had
promised the candidate for governor to
attend his inauguration ID case he OBJ
tanned majority Of 40,ooo.
4 In view Of these efforts, never made
before by any party ia September cleo
tion, il is remarkable that the admins
tration did not succeed in increasing the
republican majority Indeed, ii did not
even increase the republican vote. That
does not exceed 48,oso, while III s8o6 III
was 552s6, and n 1000 was 48s64r.
