Wd||a Wa||a County Wheat Is h
The Sack
HARVEST MACHINES HARD TO ENGAGE
LOW PRICE FOR THRESHING AND
INCREASED COST OF LABOR
THE CAUSE.

About so per cent of this years
crop in Walla Walla county has been
harvested and is in the sack accord
ing to L. C. Hall, prominent Eure-
ka flat farmer, who was in Walla
Walla yesterday.
''In the Eureka flat belt proper,
there remains but about 25 per cent
of the crop unharvested. Another 10
days will see the Eureka flat crop
safe" said Mr.. Hail.
Harvest has not progressed as fast
in the Prescott country, where the
farmers are still busy at work and
the same is true in the Dixie and foot
hill districts, where farmers exper-
fenced considerable trouble in getting
machines to work"
Mr.. Hail has just finished thresh-
ing his crop of about 100 acres and
is through for the season. Mr.. Hail
says he was offered nearly a months
work with his machine but could not
see where there is any money in
threshing at cents this year and con-
Guided to lay up his machine for the
balance of the season.
"The cost of boarding the men this
year is from Is to 25 per cent high
er than in former years and coupled
to this, wages have run from Is to
so cents a day higher than last seas
son. With all this extra expense it
is almost impossible to make any
money threshing at cents-at least
couldn't figure where l could make
anything and concluded to close down
for the season.
Many Farmers in Town.
According to local grain buyers there
has been no general selling movement
although it is estimated that close to
$780, 900 bushels of the new crop has
changed hands. Most of the wheat
sold to farmers has been stored along
the w. & c. r. lines on Eureka flat.
Many farmers were in town today in
curing the price of wheat andd doing
their usual Saturday trading but few
lots were offered at the ruling price.
Blue stem was quoted at 62 cents to-
day and club around SO and CO. Com
menting on the wheat situation, the
West Coast Trade says:
Better Shipments.
Growers are still fully employed in
securing their crops and while some
of the earlier districts are commenc-
ing to ship a little the movement has
not assumed representative proportions
1t is expected that by next week the
harvest will have progressed sufficient
ly to warrant a more liberal ship
ment to tidewater, and business will
then get under way. A little selling
is going on all the time, of course, and
the mills are providing for their wants
as usual with the opening of the crop
movement There have likewise been
a few sales of round lots for export,
but there is no demand from abroad
just now, and shippers are proceeding
cautiously, in view of the steady
downward trend of values.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BEBNARDINO. Jan. 6.-NearIy
every orange packing house in the
Highland and Bedlands districts has
been closed down for from two weeks
tC one month.
This unusual proceeding Is the re-
suit Of the recent cold weather that
has prevailed i'm this part of the state
The packers and growers in these two
districts state that their fruit has not
been injured ny the frost They also
say that a vast deal of fruit i'm the
Riverside and other districts has been
frozen by the cold weather which will
result in great quantity of poor fruit
being forwarded to the eastern markets
at once.
They insist that this will surely re-
suit in something of a slump in prices.
and they do not care to send their
fruit into the market when prices are
low from n floor of the damaged fruit
from other districts. BY holding off
from two to four weeks It is believed
the market will have recovered its
natural form and prices will be better
One Highland packer stated that he
should ship no more fruit until COM
PEELED to do so by its ripened con-
dition. This plan is expected to give
a good market when packing and ship
ing Is reduced.

DISCUSS HARBOR QUESTION
San Pedro Citizens Consider Propo-

Opetldl W i lie
SAN PEDRO, Jan. 6.-The PROPOSE
tion of a syndicate of Los Angeles capi-
talists TO gain possession of the outer
harbor frontage by building bulkhead
2400 feet long and allowing the city
the use of 1900 feet of it free, which
was sprung on the town this morning,
is being widely discussed today on the
streets. AS "a rule it is meeting with
favor, but there are some who desire
to have it made more plain before they
express themselves.
The city at present does not have the
giving of all this frontage, because its
incorporation does not extend that far.
However, this will be looked after next
Tuesday. when the election is held to
annex the territory in which this lies
as well as other valuable outside prop
erty. 1t is not thought that the mat
ter will come before the board of
trustees as its next meeting, but will
be talked over by the chamber of COM
merce next Wednesday evening and
then taken up for action al the trustees
meeting in two weeks.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Masonic association held

elected for the ensuing year: President
