One Crop Worth $70,842.70.

What is believed to be the
largest check ever paid to any
one wheat grower in the North
west has just been received by
a Pendleton, Ore, farmer for the
seasons crop raised on about
5000 acres of Umatilla wheat
land. The check was drawn by
the Pacific Elevator Company
for $1O,S42.7O.
All eastern Oregon has had a
banner crop year, producing s.
000,00 bushels, or l per cent of
the total wheat crop of the Unit
ed States. Actual crop failure
was never known in that section,
and many who began work there
few years ago with an OK cart
are now riding in automobiles.
Part of the wheat acreage is leas-
ed from the Indians OF the Una
tilla reservation, who derive an
income of about 100000 a year
from this source.
Along the main line of the Or
egon Railroad and Navigation
Company lies the Government
Umatilla reclamation project,
which within year or two will
add 10000 acres of fertile land to
the productive area of this sec
ton. This project has already
stimulated the territory affected
to such an extent as wholly to
change its character. The prin-
cipal town, Hermiston, has
sprung out of the dry plains and
now. with a population of 500
has several rapidly growing riv-
ais.
Part of the land included in
the Governments reclarr alton
project will come under cultiva-
ton next year, and "a larger part
of 10000 acres will be ready fol
cultivation in 1909. The engi-
neering work necessary to the
transformation of this territory
from sage-brush desert to pro
ductive farming land is simple
consisting of a feed canal from
river to reservoir and a distribut
ling system that can be complet
ed in a short time.

Declares Balloons no Good as
Fighters.

In lecture to the students OF
the engineering department OF
the Drexel Institute, at Philadel-
phia. DR.. T. Chalmers Fulton.
president of the Ben Franklin
Association of America. declared
that balloons can never be util-
lied for practical work as instru-
ments of war.
DR.. Fulton's subject was "Aer-
ial Travel" and he discussed all
known classes of air craft. The
balloon, he said. is about the
same as it was ten years ago, and
is useful only for meteorological
or geographical research, photo
graphic studies or sport. He re-
ferred to the recent trip of the
Pommerin, in which the big bal
loon passed directly over the
forts on Governors island, NJ Y.
saying:
The people in the balloon at
the time could peer down into
the forts and take in every de-
tail of the workings, but they
would have found it harder to
drop a bomb inside the fortifica-
tons.
Anything dropped from a
balloon must have the same We
locity as the balloon itself, and
it might not reach the ground
until a great distance away from
the object at which it was aimed
No matter how fast the bal
loon travels any object thrown
from it reaches the ground in a
plumb line under the basket
This same fact is true of dirigi-
bles. though this style of airshiT
has the additional disadvantage
| of being unable to go high
enough for safety"
After reviewing the work that
has been done toward perfectins
heavier than air flying machines
DR.. Fulton said that no success
full machine can be built unit
man patterns after nature. He
urged the tapping wing style o
machine as having advantages
over the aeroplane. and said tina
when practical flying machine
is perfected it will be capable o
traveling $50 miles an hour.

Shower of Ashes Falls in Alaska

A special cable to Portland,
Oregon from Nome, Alaska.
says: Nome and probably the en-
tire Seward peninsula is shroud-
ed in an ashy haze and the
ground for miles is covered sew
eral inches deep with fine grit-
ty powder which is believed TO
be volcanic ashesI The, storm
began several days ago, the dust
blowing in from the ocean, but at
first little attention was paid to
the freak of nature, as it was ex-
pected that it would soon cease.
Instead. however, the fall con-
tinued, and after day became
so dense as seriously to interfere
with outdoor pursuits.
Miners coming into town re-
ported that for miles the snow
was SO impregnated with the
ashes that shedding was almost
impossible. Further, the air is
so full of ashes that breathing is
difficult. and the fine powder was
sifted into houses and business
places to such an extent that it is
thick on the floors and on every
thing in the way of goods and
household furniture. 1t is be-
lieved that some one of the num-
erous volcanic islands, either be-
tween the Pacific coast and 81
IBERIA, or, more probably, those
islands in the Alaskan peninsula
or the Aleutian islands, are agair
in eruption, and that the ashy
downpour is the result. No ser
ious results are expected, but
much inconvenience is being
caused by the peculiar storm.

Postal D-hcit Decreasing.

If the amount lost by fire. bur-
glary, etc. is added to the or,iin-
airy excess of expenditures dur
ing the year on account of pre-
vious fiscal years, the gross dehc-
it in the postal service during the
year 1907 will aggregate 1862
OBJ. The third assistant post
master general, A. l.. Lawshe in
his annual report gives the above
figures, and with it quotes the
amount of the postal deficit in
1906, which was $10.516,99a
The third assistant postmaster
general goes at length into a dis
cussion of the troubles which vex
publishers and those who have to
do with the second class postage
rates. A ruling has been made
newspapers and periodicals
which will be put in force in a
few days. 1t is in effect that the
publisher shall be allowed to
mail sample copies at the pound
rate to limit of 10 per cent of
his bona fide subscription list.
1t is recommended that the
money order system lie extended
to every postoffice in the United
States. "All postoffices transact
registry business" says Mr..
Lawshe. why moi money or
der business ?" The passage of
bill providing for a form of
postal note whereby sums of
money less than $3.50 may be
sent through the mail cheaply is
recommended.

Seek Hoggatt's lob.

MILFORD B. Hoggatt, Governor
of Alaska, will have to fight foI
his official existence. Powerful
interests in the far-away domain
over which he presides have de-
termined to depose him, if pos
sible. Charges have been pre-
pared and are now on the way
and it is expected that Hoggart
will arrive at Washington soon
TO tell the President his side oil
the story.
Hoggatt is an Indiana man
and was raised at Boonville,
where his relatives reside. After
an honorable career in the navy.
President Roosevelt appointed
him as chief executive of Alaska.
For some time influential cap
italists, for reasons best known
TO themselves, have been trying
to secure the organization of a
territorial form of government in
Alaska as substitute for the
present simple method of gov
erning through the Interior De-
partment. Hoggatt has fought
them at every step, believing
THAT territorial government,
with its extensive machinery of
a Legislature and other depart
ments, would entail a heavier ex-
pense upon the people OF Alaska
than would be justified.
By his aggressive attitude he
has created fierce antagonislns,
and his foes have determined to
60 after his official scalp. The
details of their charges have not
been revealed, but it is under
stood they accuse him of favorit-
ism toward certain trusts and
capitalistic combinations.
1t will take substantial evil
dence to displace Hoggatt, as the
President has observed his ca
reer closely from the time he
joined the navy and has often
spoken highly of him.

American Envoy Recalled.

N1SCOllnt SluZO AOkl, dnlDdS-
sador extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary from Japan to
the United States, has been re-
called. He called at the White
house and state department Mon
day. and notified the president
and Secretary Root of this fact.
Technically he has been sent
for by his government to make
a personal report as to the feel
ing in this country on the eXclu-
sion question. Practically, he
will not return to Washington.
Ambassador Aoki gave notice
of his recall practically at the
same time that word was receiv-
ed at Washington of the sailing
of the torpedo section of the fleet
destined for the Pacific. Many
people may connect the two
things together. Whether or not
Japan connected them remains to
be seen.
This recall of the Japanese
ambassador can hardly fail to
excite interest throughout the
world, because many people will
be sure to interpret it as an act
of hostility on the part OF the
Japanese government, while 9th
ers may be inclined to see it in a
retort by Japan to the action OF
the president IN sending the feet
under Admiral Evans around to
our Pacific coast, which cruise
might possibly be taken as a
threat against Japan.
On the other hand. there will
be those who will justify the
president in his action and who
will insist that the dispatch OF
the fleet by him was a stroke OF
genius which prevented trouble
with Japan, and that the recall
of Aoki has been provoked by
the reactionary party at home be-
cause he failed to buster suffic-
iently to prevent the dispatch OF
the fleet.
The 'one thing which can be
stated positively in this serious
Situation-because the situation
certainly is serious-is that the
United States loses a friend in
the departure of Niscount Aoki
Since he. came here i'll May
1906, his course as a diplomat
has been marked by cxtraordin-
airy tact, wisdom, and friendli-
ness toward the people to whom
he was accredited. He secured
the confidence of the president
and secretary of state almost i'm
mediately after his arrival
Almost ever since he has beer
here there have been the gravesi
kind of questions pending be-
tween the United States and ia
pan. and yet Viscount Aoki has
never at any time displayed the
slightest unfriendliness or hostil-
ity, even when a mob in Sar
Francisco was ruthlessly inflict
ing injuries upon his country
men.
1t was undoubtedly his friend
ship for the United States anc
his appreciation of the fact thai
the people of this country had ne
real hostility toward Japan thai
cost the Japanese ambassador
his place.

eoLDFrEIp's PRODUCTION.
Mines of Nevada Camp Said To Yield

With the mines OF Goldheld district
producing Approximately 100000 worth
of ore a week, says the Goldfleld News,
with an almost certain probability that
the production viii be doubled within a
very short time, II would seem that
The pessimists and the croakerA have
been put out of business. That such a
condition exists is shown by the official
figures OF the Nevada Goldfeld Reduc-
tiion Works and the Tonopah & Gold

gross value was but little short OF half
million dollars. or about s25, 900 900 a
year
The great Importance of these figures
can be better realized. when attention
is called TO the fact that comparatively
little ore Is being shipped from the
great Consolidated mines, owing 70 The
policy OF the management of that cor
poration to await the building of n mill
with sufficient capacity 10 handle The
output, before beginning the extrac-
ton OF ore on an extensive scale. Were
they so disposed. the owners OF the
merger mines could be shipping 500
tons a day within the next few weeks
or more than The entire output OF the
district for the last week. But with
this enormous capacity, IL is not TO be
wondered at that the Cnnsulidated's
management should deem 1t wise poll
cy 10 hold It's ore until the mill Is built
ana thereby save sl7 a ton i'm freight
and reduction charges, $500 day Is
worth saving.
The Florence Goldflold Mining COM
pany win soon have it's own mill and
the Consolidated Is having plans pre-
pared for one of the largest reduction
plants In the state. Other mining COM
panles win build mills sooner or later.
The result VIII be an enormous in
crease in the output of the properties
that are now numbered among the pro-
ducers IN this district,
But the production viii not wait for
the erection Of mills. The mine owners
and operators have expended a great
deal Of money In opening up their prop
critics and not all are able financially to
adopt the economical policy OF the Con-
solidated They want quick returns,o on
their Investments and the stockholders
have an incurable habit OF demanding
dividends as fast as they are earned
This is particularly true of the leasing
companies. New properties are being
opened almost daily and the producing
area Is slowly but surely being EXTEND
ed. The small mines of soday may be
big mines tomorrow and there is no
telling how much ore lies beneath the
ground In the vicinity of Goldfield The
output OF the proven mines Is being in
creased daily and as the work pro-
crosses the proportion OF increase VIII
be greater, as moro men con bc put to
work extracting the gold bearing rock.
The ore is there and in q few weeks
the output will be limited only by the
capacity OF the hoists. BY early fan

the extent and richness OF It's mines, as
shown by their actual output.
