DAVE LoONEY, WELL KNOWN
BREEDER, HAS ExPLANA-
TIONS TO MAKE.
ALLEGED That He Entered Bull at Walla
WalIa Stock Show That Was
Unregistered.

Because he entered an unregistered
bull in the livestock shows at Salem,
Walla Walla and North Yakima last
fall and afterward sold the bull as one
bred and registered by himself, Dave
Looney, of Jefferson, one of the best
known Jersey breeders in the North
west, is in serious trouble. The ami
NAL won prizes at each Of the fairs
mentioned, although disqualified on
account of non-registration and also
because entered in the wrong class,
says the Salem Statesman.
Looney has been charged with inten-
tional deception and a trial has been
had before the American Jersey Cattle
club. Looney admits all the facts, ex-
cept that the substitution was inten-
tional, and says it was a mistake.
Golden ]. Exile was the name of
the animal that won second prize at
the Oregon state fair last fall in the
yearling bull Jersey class. The same
animal took the sweepstakes at Walla
Walla and North Yakima. The bull
was entered as bred by D. H. Looney.
but was in fact bred by Uncle" Char
ley Miller, of Jefferson, sold by him to
George Terhune and bought by Looney
from Terhune.
Mr.. Looney sold the animal to j. 7.
OFT, of Ashland, under a registration
showing it to be of the Golden Lad
strain and bred by himself, whereas
the animal was not entitled to any
such registration. The animal was
four months too old for the class in
which it was entered at the fairs.
What the real facts are is a matter
the controversy that has arisen has
created a great sensation, not only
among stockmen, but among farmers
and business men who have known
Looney for years. When complaint
was made to the American Jersey Cat
tie club, several months ago, the mat
ter was referred to w. M. Ladd, of
Portland, for investigation, and testiv
mony was very quietly taken at JEFF
ferson two weeks ago. This testi-
mony has been forwarded to the exc
cutive committee, and a decision will
be rendered either generating Looney
or fining him or barring his cattle
from further registration.

Great Organ Concert at Whitman
College.

OF Mr.. Eddy and Mrs. Dickman who
are to appear at Whitman college on
August 4, the Los Angeles Express of
June 80, says as follows:
Clarence Eddy, the eminent Ameri-
can organist, assisted by Mrs. Grace
Morei Dickman, contralto of the Rut-
gers Presbyterian church, New York,
gave a recital at the First Christian
church last evening before a thor
oughly appreciative audience.
Mr.. Eddy, while not having an or
gan of adequate size and tonal solidity
to permit the presentation of the
heavier numbers with the greatest eff
feet, yet mad an instrument of suffi-
cient capacity and mechanical eff
iency to give a recital which proved
he most satisfying affair of the kind
heard here since his last appearance"
Such an unusually good voice was
heard at Clarence Eddys recital last
hight that it is worthy Of separate
mention. This was the voice of Mrs.
Grace Morei Dickman, contralto of the
Rutgers Presbyterian church, New
York, whose singing is favorably no
ticed in the report of that concert.
It is not too much to say that no such
contralto has been heard here since
Schumann- Heinks recital save in the
Metropolitan opera company. Her
voice seems almost f1awless from one
extreme to the other and of unusual
power; but this power carries nothing
of roughness, for the polish of the
tones is without blemish.

REPORTS FROM THE STATE HAVE
HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY
INSPECTOR ARRAsMITH.
Indications Point to the Best Quality
Of Wheat in Many Years-Yield
Is Good.

Reports received by State Grain In
spector Arrasmit1l from nearly every
grain growing section of the state has
resulted in the grain inspector pre-
,licting that Washington this year will
harvest the biggest wheat crop in her
history. Inspector Arrasmitn several
weeks ago sent out circular letters to
many large growers and mill men
throughout the state and answers to
these is what the inspector bases his
prediction of a bumper crop on. The
letters sent to the inspector not only
predict a large crop but also shows
that the acreage is larger than for
many years. Some of the reports
given are as follows:
F. S. Dement,, of the Dement, Milling
company, says: THE acreage of
wheat in Walla Walla county is about
100000 acres, and the yield will aver
age from % to Is bushels an acre.
Barley, about 1000 acres, and would
guess the yield to be between IS and
40 bushels to tine acre. Oats, about
1000 acres, and yield 35 to 40 bushels
Quality of wheat generally promises
to be very good, so far as we have
heard. There will be some pinched
wheat, but the bulk will be plump and
of good quality. Have not seen any
samples yet that tested under So
pounds, and some have tested 81
pounds. No indications as yet with us
for any Eastern demand. Harvest will
be general next week"
ty, says that the acreage Of wheat will
be Is per cent greater than last year
and barley Is per cent less. The pro-
portion of late-grown grain is small,
and the yields of all crops will be above
the average. He places the average
yield at 80 bushels per acre for wheat
and 40 bushels for barley.
Corbett Bros, Huntsville, writes
that the acreage in Columbia county
will be third greater than last
year, with a corresponding decrease in
barley They also state that the yield
of wheat and barley will be better than
last year, although the hot winds of
the last few
M. M. Taylor, Connell, Franklin
county, writes that the yield will be
40 per cent greater and the quality
fully as good as last year. He places
the average yield at 20 bushels per
acre.
M. H. Houser, POmerOy, Garfield
county, writes that there is the usual
amount of wheat and barley, but no
oats.

The Greatest Physical Aggrandize-

The whims and vagaries of nature

times, who claims to hail from that
portion of the British Kingdom facing

feet tall, weighs 800 pounds and is only
"A years of age. Upon his fingers are
rings that can easily serve for brace

while his enormous nat is often used
as hiding place for one of the troupe
of midgets. When his enormous arms

over eight feet and beneath them Or

SHORTAGE IN HAY
Price Per Ton Amounts to Dne Dollar
More Than Last Year.

Some CONSERVATION arises over the
fact that Umatilla county will be very
snort of hay this year and that from
the present prospects, prices will soar
SKY high on this essential product
is the report that comes from Pendle-
ton.
The rains encountered a few weeks
ago ruined a great deal of this coun-
tvs hay crop, which even before any
was lost was exceedingly short. The
principal reason for the shortage is the
fact that so much crop was spring
seeded that it did not grow tall, al
though it headed we'll, and it was con-
sequently saved for grain instead of
being cut for hay.
Prices are higher this year already
than they were at any time during
last season, at that time the top notch
being IS and 50, while this year hay is
selling at 50 and $40.
1t is stated from good authority that
there were fully three tons of hay cut
last year to one ton this year.

Donnelly said this afternoon. Queen

Perhaps the greatest fight he ever had
was with Denver Kid Parker at
Denver in 1900 when the Kid was at
the Kid were matched up for 20
every fight ne had engaged in and was
touted the coming champion. Queenan
regarded as a good man and he and
the kid" were matched up for a 20
round fight. The high altitude was
new to Queenan and he had difficulty
with his bellows but despite this
Parker could not put MIN away, al
though the Denver lad was given the
fight. 1t was the hardest fight 1 ever
witnessed. Queenan beat Parker at

feated him in q rounds here in Walla
Walla last winter although the bout
was declared a draw"

The citizens of Cooperstown
had the very great pleasure last
Friday night of listening to a
lecture on the American Navy by
Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson,
hero of the Merrimac. The hall
was filled by our people who
wanted to hear this gentleman,
whose name is familiar with
everybody for the good deeds he
accomplished during the Spanish
war. At the outset we want to
say that we were agreeably dis
appointed in Capt. Hobson. We
did not expect to hear such a
good speaker or such a good lee
ture. He is a pleasing speaker,
very earnest and loaded to the
muzzle with patriotism and love
of country. His address was
alonglthe lines of good citizen
ship generally IN politics, religion
and morals and of course gave
his views on the need of a great.
er navy for this country which
he said was destined to be the
peace maker of the world. His
illusions to this great country
of ours and of it's magnificent
history, especially it's just and
merciful attitude to our fallen
enemies were beautiful word pic
lures. Mr.. Hobson's address
was punctured by applause
many times and his lecture at
Cooperstown was greatly en-
joyed. He is a man of fine sensi-
bilities and a type of manhood it
is a pleasure to meet and hear.
At the conclusion of his lecture
a unanimous vote was taken ask
ing congress for a larger navy
so that we could enforce peace
where justice demanded it. Sat-
urday morning Mr.. Hobson ad-
dressed the children at the high
school. This was his first lee
ture in this state and his first
visit to the state and he greatly
enjoys this climate although he
