WoRLD's WHEAT CROP.
Europe Harvesting an Average Crop
India Has Great Yield.

The London Economist, I'm long
review Of the wheat harvest this year,
asserts that "the worlds cereal har-
Of the greatest ever produced" 1t re-
marks that "oats alone. among the
cereals IN England, seem likely to turn
out below the average in productive
ness.
In most of the countries of conti-
mental Europe the harvest Is a good
one. The wheat crop Is above the
average ia the great producing prov
inces in the north of France, but 1t
has suffered from drought in the south
and west.
1t is thot that France will need to
import very little If any wheat.
Spain has reaped a good harvest
generally, while Germany has good
crops of barley and oats as well as of
wheat and rye. According to the latest
official estimate Austria Hungary will
produce much larger wheat crop
this year than last. From Russia re-
ports vary greatly.
The winter wheat crop has been
officially reported to be good one,
while the more important spring
wheat crop is a poor one in all but
few provinces. owing to the wet
weather and other causes, one Of the
smallest crops of recent years was
generally expected. Roumania Is now
expected to produce a record crop,
and Servia and Bulgaria have good
| crops of wheat. The Canadian wheat
| harvest on the whole will not prove
| very abundant one.
Even allowing for increase of area
in the comparatively new Canadian
provinces, it is doubtful whether the
production will make up for Ontario's
deficiency as compared with last
years good crop. and possibly the to-
tai will be less than that of 1905. In
Australia the crops, sown under ia.
vorahle conditions generally, have yet
to undergo the hazards of the spring
and summer seazons. Indias wheat
crop harvested last spring was the
greatest but one ever known.

The East Oregonian has just receiv-
ed complete rules for the simplified
form of spelling from the secretary of
the simplified spelling board, Charles
p. G. Scott, | Madison avenue, New
York, and for the benefit of those who
are interested In the subject the rules
are publisht today. 1t will be seen
that the rules do not authorize nor
encourage any revolutionary changes
in the language, but simply stand for
brevity and common sense In spelling.
The circular and rules are as follows:
1t has been thought wise to print
partial list OF the words now spelled
i'm two or more ways, with a view of
informing the public of the facts, and
of ascertaining how far intelligent
readers will concur in the effort to es-
tablish the simpler forms.
A full list would contain many hun
dred words, many of them bookish
or technical or semi-foreign. Such
lists are to be found In the current die
tionaries (Webster, Worcester, STAN
dard), but they were compiled for a
different purpose, and not only in
clude spellings long obsolete, but omit
many spellings (ike dropt, prest, tho,
etc.) always in extensive use.
There are In this list about 40 dis
tingulshabe classes of words. We
mention 20. The other classes include
each only a few words. Some words
are quite Isolated.
H., nln % 40 n
ed in two or more ways are for the
sake OF brevity omitted from the pres.
ent list Such are the chemical words
in ide or i'd, and line or lin, and forms
involving Ill or IL. or 1T or t., be-
fore suffxes, as travelled or Travelled,
traveller or traveller, travelling or
travelling, etc, rivetted or riveted,
rivetter or rlveter, rivetting or rivet-
ing, etc. OF course the simpler form
is to be preferred.
The classes included, arranged in
the alphabetic order OF the letters oil
affixes affected are as follows:
/. Words spelled with ae, or e.
Rule: Choose g. FIX: Anesthetic, es-
thetic, medieval, etc.
2. Words spelled with -dge-men'
or -dg-ment. Rule: omit g. Ex.
Abridgment, acknowledgment, judg-
ment, lodgment.
3. Words spelled with ed or t
the preceding single consonant being
doubled before led (-pped. -ssed) anG
left single before t opt, -sD. Rule
Choose t in all cdses. Ex.: Dipt

DELINQUENT LIST
 VERY SHORT ONE
The h st Abbreviated in This Coan-
 ty in Late Years

It is stated that largely on account of the publicity given by the Republi- can to the rigOrs of the new back tax law the delinquent list is shorter than it ever was before. By the delinquent list is meant the list Of last years taxes unpaid. In the beginning the de- linQuencies amounted To only about $25, 900, which was a very low figure compared with the lists of other years It was announced at the office of the county treasurer yesterday that the list had been reduced to $5.00O IL is now made up of so-caIled ''chroniCs." those who never pay their taxes
 There will now be very few more suits under the back-tax law. Most of those who might be subject to action belong to the list of ."chrOnics" and are already defendants in suits for the col lection of earlier taxes. In some cases the property has been sold and the purchaser will have to pay up the taxes which have accured since the begin ming of the suit: otherwise he will find himself in the position of the original owner.
 It is probable that becore any mere suits, or at least before many more of them have been brought in this county, the law will be changed. so as to make it a little less rigorous without detracting from it's efficiency

MADE TWO FORTUNES
 HE DESERVED BOTH
The Final Departure of E. F. Vantil.
 burg From the City.

After a residence of nearly a score of years in which he built up a most successful business and a reputation for integrity such as comparatively few men ever gain, H F. Vantilburg has gone to San Diego where he will reside. He had lately disposed of extensive in terests here.
 Before coming to Phoenix MT. Van tilburg resided in San Diego, where he acquired property valued at not less than S100,0O0. That was shortly before the premature boom which swept over southern California, and when it was over it left MT. Vantilburg, as it did many others, in an embarrassed condi- tion.
 He did not do, though, as most peo- pie did-sacrifice their holdings. He re- tained all that he had bought, believing that the time would come when his hopes would be realized. San Diego was thenceforth for a number of years dead town. MT. Vantilburg then en- igrated to live one, and by the closest attention to business he made another fortune in Phoenix
 In the meantime his San Diego for tune revived. Within the last eighteen months his San Diego property has more than doubled in value, and it now gives certain promise of being worth more thon he had hoped it would be in the palmiest days of that early boom.
 His jewelry business he has sold to the Crescent Jewelry company, which is being managed by Henry Moeller. who has been with him for several ears.

THE WILLY CHINESE.

It is reported from San Francisco that a well drilled army of 10000 young Chinamcn win soon leave the Pacific coast for China, going in small attachments so cs to attract as little attention as possible. No one seems to know the reason of this sudden he gira, for among the things John China man has learned in his long experience IS how to keep q secret. It is q fair presumption that these returning ori- entals at least know Americans better than Americans know them. Perhaps We may yet honor the Chinaman by studying him as carefully as he studies us.-New York Tribune
