SHIP BARLEY TO PORTLAND.
viii Reduce Price of That Grain I'm
Sherman County.

The local barley market will this
year present a phase not hitherto
reckoned with by Sherman county
growers of that grain, says the Wasco
News. In the past the amount of bar
ley grown in this county has been very
small-barely enough to supply the
local demand for feed. This condi-
tion has caused prices to be good.
Farmers have received as much for
their barley in wasco as they could
delivered in Portland.
This year owing to the probable
abundant yield and the much greater
acreage of that grain, 1t will be neces-
sary to ship 1t to Portland, thus
throwing it into competition with the
general market. This will be n dis
appointment, as 1t will make several
dollars difference in the income OF
the farmer whose principal crop is
barley. The barley section is chiefly
along the John Day to the south and
east of wasco, where the best quality
of that grain is grown.

the armory bill.
During the encampment the "war
news" was eagerly read and discuss
ed by the officers and men and had
much to do with keeping up interest
in the work. Throughout the entire
regiment there is an eagerness to go
into actual service should troops be
needed. and the regiment, when re-
cruited to its war footing, wauld be
splendid organization Col. Nc,
Donell is strong and experienced
officer, having been a captain IN the
Second Oregon, and a majority of the
line and staff officers also saw ser

should it be called out, would go into
the field under well tried leaders.
