Twenty per cent of the entire
wheat crop of 100000 bushels
credited to Walla Walla county this
year b. conservative estimators, will
be harvested and marketed by Is far
mers, giving some idea of the way i'm
mense fortunes have been built up
within very few years by farmers
Of the Inland Empire. These Is farm
ers will garner nearly 100000 bushels
Of grain this year which at the pres
ent market value is worth over a half
million dollars.
Heading the list is George Drum
heller, whose wheat acreage this year
amounts to nearly 5000 acres, the
yield from which will total we'll to-
ward 100000 bushels. Mr.. Drumheller,
while yet a young man and mis- opera
lions have not extended over ten years,
is easily the biggest farmer in Walla
Walla county and possibly the largest
individual farmer in Eastern Washing
ton. Mr.. Drumheller is farming 1900
acres on Dry creek, 1000 acres in the
Touchet country, 2200 acres near
Pleasant View and other tracts of
land in the county and across Snake
river that brings his total acreage up
to almost 5000 acres.
Second on the list of big farmers of
the county are Grote Brothers, who
will harvest over 100000 bushels of
wheat from 1000 acres of land on Eu-
reka fiat. Grote Brothers are farming
the Charles Pickard lands, although
they own a considerable body of land
On the fiat themselves. Their holdings
went something over 25 bushels to the
acre.

KIDNAPPED BY FRIENDS,
Des Moines Doctor and His Bride, Nee
Conger, Held Prisoner.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 15.-Dr
William A. Sharp and mis- bride, Miss
Emma Conger, niece of Amba ssador
Edwin H. Conger, were kidnapped
wedding and held prisoners in a
strange fiat for thirty hours.
This was the sequel of joke played
by DR.. Sharp, Miss Conger and others
on friends who were married several
months ago. 1t was decided that when
Dr. Sharp and Miss Conger were wed
the score would be evened up.
After the wedding the couple were
driven to their handsome new home
They had been in the house but few
minutes when a rollicking crowd en-
tered, blew out the lights and forced
bride and groom into a closed carriage.
The carriage was driven about the
city for an hour and finally stopped
in front of an old style fiat four miles
away from East Des Moines. Into this
unpretentious building the couple were
ushered in the darkness and told to
prepare to remain for the night.
Pickets were established outside ana
the couple were held prisoners.
Dr. Sharp and his bride were very
angry at first. When they learned
that it was their best friends who
membered the VOW to even up an old
score they took the Kidnapping good
naturally and when released went to
plants.

MANY ENTRIES RECEIVED
HORSES FROM ALL OVER NORTH
WEST WILL BE HERE FOR
FALL RACE MEET.
Entries in Harness Events and Stake
Running Races Closed Today
Best Prospects Ever.

1.-The indications are that the fall
race meet here will attract the great
est array of horses from all parts of
the northwest ever seen in Walla
Walla or the Inland Empire for that
matter" said Secretary Caswell this
morning. The prediction was made
after Secretary Caswell has finished
tabulating the entries for the har-
ness events and running stake races,
which closed today with entries from
Portland, Everett, Seattle, Bozeman,
Helena and points in the Inland En-
pire. The secretary has assurance
that number of California horses will
be here to participate in these events,
the fine purses offered by the associa-
ton being regarded as attractive when
compared with those hung by other as
sociations on the northwest circuit.
"A big percentage of the horses en-
tered will begin to arrive within the
next week or two,' said Secretary Cas-
well this morning. The track is in
such condition and the climatic condi-
lions so perfect that horsemen are
anxious to bring their strings on
early in order to get them in fine
shape for the circuit races. We are
receiving applications for stable room
in every mail and over 100 horses will
be at the track in another week."

Many polo players are impressed with

This sentiment is not universal by any
means. England as the records fur

THE KNIGHTLY
GAME OF POLO

Whence came the knightly and chiv-
alric game of polo? Statements have
been made that the invigorating and
courtly equestrian sport was merely
an outcome of the hOmely and time
honored game of handy ball. played
on horseback. The reverse of this is
more probable. Researchers into the
playing of polo have found that the
diversion is a pastime that antedates
the Christian era and is of oriental
origin, and that it was originally a
sport for warriors The horsemen of
antiquity, the cavalry force Of India
and Persia and ancient Syria played
polo.
one Capt Miller. who was an officer
of the 18th English Lancers, has given
a large share of attention to polo and
kindred amusements in a volume pub
Iished some thirty years ago, entitled
Modern Polo" He asserts that the
game, when it was first introduced into
England. which was in 1871, was called
hockey on horseback and the first
tilt of the mounted players occurred
on HoundsloW heath. The original
PLAYERS were officers of the eth Ian
GERS and the 10th Hussars. 1t was i'm
.ported into England from India and all
Fashionable England went to Hounds
low to witness the match. The play
ers. of course were all cavalrymen.
Later on however. though the rides
