BUMPER CROP.
Wheat Harvest Will Exceed All
Before.

Unless there should be some unex
pected light returns from the late
sown grain not yet harvested, it nov
seems quite probable that the three
states, Oregon, Washington and Idaho
will for the first time on record harves
crop Of approximately $4,000, ,O0(
bushels of wheat.
The figures now submitted by The
Oregonian do not, of course, possess
the same degree of accuracy that would
be possible a month later. However
| they have been compiled from informa
ton secured by large number of men
in very close touch with the situation
and The Oregonian has no hesitancy
in submitting them as indicating the
probable out-turn for three states with
reasonable accuracy.
The increasing number of receiving
stations near county lines makes it
much more difficult than formerly to
satisfy local pride by segregating the
crop by ounties. Washtucna, in
Adams county, Washington. for in-
stance will this year handle consider
ably more than 100000 bushels, and
less then half of it viii come out of the
county in which the town is located
Hartline, in Douglas county, will also
make some liberal drafts on Lincoln
county, and alorg the Columbia river
there will be the usual Morrow county
wheat mixed with that of Gillian, and
vice versa.
The prestige Of Klckitat and Yakima
has been marred slightly by the carving
of the new county of Benton out of a
portion of the other counties. The crop
is so good, however, that even after
|osing portion of it's territory the yield |
will total much gaeater than that of last
year. As outlined by information re-
,eived to September l, and verified by |
IN examination of the principal wheat
districts of the three states, the crop by |

PUT OUT 20 POOLROOMS.
So EgEers Says After Raid on Alleged
Telephone Exchange Downtown.

So EgEers Says After Raid on Alleged
Telephone Exchange Downtown.
Acting Captain Eggers made an ak raid
yesterday afternoon on an alleged pool
room and poohoom telephone exchange
at 2eo West Broadway, the Wool E1chan ge
Building. Eggers and his men smashed in
the door and found ten men huddled to-
gether. One OF the men attempted to
CON ceal some racing sheets inside his
trousers and objected to being searched.
He resisted stoutly until Eggers landed
a short hook on the end Of his nose, when
he gave up both the papers and some blood.
The raiders secured ten prisoners. twenty
five telephones and switchboard. Eggers
believes that the ripping out Of the switch
board has put at least twenty other pool
rooms out OF business. The prisoners
were all taken to Headquarters. Their
names were taken and they were then
locked UP, charged with aiding and abetting
In the running of a poolroom.
The alleged proprietor, Gus Lind, was
not found on the premises. The raid was
made over the head Of Capt. McNally.
The rooms were on the third floor OF the
building and on the glass of the door was
the legend, -Wintersmith. Broker"
No Wintersmith was found among the
prisoners, all of whom, 1t is suspected, gave
a titious names.
