WHEAT CROP OF NORTHWEST.
Washington Leads With Over Twenty
Seven Million Bushels.

Portland, Ore, Sept. Sc. w.
Wright, commercial editor of the Ore
gonian, who has just completed trip
of 1000 miles through the wheat dis
tricts of Oregon, Washington and Ida
no, estimates the wheat of the three
states for the cereal year to be AS
100000 bushels.
OF the total crop this year Oregon
is credited with 12,950,000 bushels;
Washington, 27650000O bushels, and
Idaho, 100000 bushels. This COM
pares with crop of 34,7S5, 900 bushels
last year, 41,600,000 bushels in 1902
and 46,600,000 bushels in 1902, the lat
ter being the record crop for the three
states. The outturn as now estimat-
ed by Mr.. Wright, is fully 5000 900
bushels under the yield indicated a
short time before harvest, the decrease
being due to dry weather and frost.
The poorest yields are in the Grande
Ronde and Willamette valleys, in Ore
gon, and the Big Bend in Washing
ton; the best yields in the latter dis
trict being more than 100000 bushels
less than in 1901. The best yields are
in Gillian and Umatilla counties, Ore
gon, and in the western part of Whit
man county, in Washington. The acre
age is larger than ever before, and
with an average yield equal to that OF
1901 would have produced crop Of
100000 bushels. The crop is sell
ing freely at the best prices ever re-
allied when the yield was so large.
In this estimate Whitman leads Wash
ington counties with crop of 9,000.-
600 bushels, and Umatilla the Oregon
counties with 100000 bushels.

SALMON PACK Is LIGHT.
That Of Alaska About rs Per Cent, as
Compared With Last Year

Portland, Ore.-On the arrival OF
the Bark c. F. Sargent September 8
from Bristol Bay, Alaska, the pack
of Alaska salmon destined to the Co
lumbia River, was received.
The pack this year will be ABOUT
rs per cent of the average owing to
the poor run of salmon during the first
part of the season, bad weather and
the trouble between cannery men and
their help. 1t amounts to 104,SOO
cases against about 100000 last year,
and, based on last years prices, should
be worth in the neighborhood OF $780,
900. On the Columbia River the pack
will be about equal to that of 1903 in
quantity, but as the bulk of the catch
was made later in the season, it is
stated that the quality will be slightly
inferior.

STABILITY OF MOUNTAINS.
Scientific Measurements for the Infor-
nation of Generations Yet
Unborn.

At the recent gathering of the Asso-
citation of Academies, Sir A. Geikle
moved a resolution, which was unan1-
mously adopted, says the London Tele-
graph, in favor Of international coop
Grafton in the efforts to obtain Pre-
else determination of levels in noun
tain chains subject to earthquakes,
with the view of ascertaining whether
such chains are stable, or are undergo
ing movements of deviation or depres-
sion" Another proposal aimed TO Sc
cure measurements of the value OF
gravity, with the object, so far as geo.
logical questions are concerned, or
throwing light on the internal distribu-
ton of masses in the earth and on the
rigidity or isostasy of the terrestrial
crust. These problems call for minute
and rigorous observation. In this way
it is believed to have been proved that
the land about the city of New York
has been subsiding since 1875 at the
rate of about Las feet (nearly 171s
inches) per century. Posterity 1000
or 10000 years hence will have right
to know not merely how high Etna or
Vesuvius was in 1904, but what were
the elevation and appearance of Beachy
Head; how much the old rock has lost
by waste of the sea at its foot, or by
denuding rains on its summit and
TANKS; or how much it may have
gained by uplifting forces. They will
know these things in 1904, just as they
will know how the stars and nebulae
are distributed in our skies, and the
knowledge will be very helpful to the
future astronomers and biologists. In
these matters photography, as the
handmade of research, can render east
" and cheaply incompatible services.

Knitting is declared by specialists in

is being prescribed by physicians be-
cause of its efficacy. For persons liable
to cramp, paralysis, or any other affec-

ting is regarded as most beneficial ex-

to be an excellent diversion for the
