in stimulating interest. reminding in,

A carload of Wenatchee valley ap.

year. These cots are being stored
at the Wenatchee Canning Company s

The cause for these high prices as
has been stated beforein these col

The Wenatchee Canning Company

WHEAT CROP IS
AN IMMENSE ONE
Capt. Fred McDermott Complies Esti-
mate of 3500OOO Bushels From
Columbia River Points

And there is no doubt that railroad
would be a paying proposition.
Upon receiving the report of Capt.
McDermott and talking the matter
over with him, Bruce Griggs, mana
ger of the c. &. o. Co. came to Wa
terville Tuesday to look over the sit
uation himself and he assures us
that his company will do everything
in their power to meet the demands
this fall.
A new boat has just been built
by this company and another will be
built before the crops are ready to
move. Thus, the company will be in
a position to move the wheat to We
natchee much faster than the rail-
road will be able to take it away.
While the boat company will do
all she can to take care of the ship
pers this fall it is hoped that by the
time the next crop is harvested we
will have rail transportation.
100000 Bushels at Krupp.
The Wilson Creek World gives the
following in regard to the amount
of wheat that will probably be har-
vested at Krupp this season:
The warehousemen at Krupp, in
line with grain buyers all along the
line of the Great Northern railway
in the Big Bend country, expect this
to be the banner year so far as ship
ments of grain is concerned. Ar
rangements are made to handle a
million bushels from that point.
Krupp already holds third position
as a primary grain market, Ritz
vile. and Harrington being ahead of
her last year. This year, however,
considering 20 per cent increase in
acreage and 40 per cent increase In
yield, which is believed to be greater
than the sections contiguous to the
other towns named can show, the
lively little Douglas county town has
strong hopes of passing both her riv-
ais and obtaining the coveted posi-
tion of being the greatest primary
grain market in the worlu.
Both the Bank of Krupp and the
Hansen & Wiley bank are making
arrangements to transact much
heavier business than ever before
and are adding to their facilities in
every way possible. The former has
just installed a new Victor screw
door managnes safe and the latter

100000 Bushels at Quincy.
The Quincy Quill states that in the
Quincy country there will be about
100000 bushels harvested.
