That the wheat crop of Umatilla
county will aggregate close to 6,000,-
900 bushels is now declared by the
men who are familiar with the grain
business. 1t has long been known
that the crop now being harvested is
bumper one and 1t is generally de-
clared to be the largest on record in
the county.
"The total yield of the county this
year will be between 100000 and
100000 bushels and it may run up
very close to the 100000" stated
Will Moore this morning in speaking
of the situation. THE yields have
been good in every section of the
county and the acreage is greater
than ever before. So it is certain
heavy"
Means Local Prosperity.
In addition to the enormous crop.
the price of wheat this year is espec-
tally favorable. Since Saturday the
local market has been quieter than,
on that day when all records for
selling were broken. However, the
| price is still 20 cents for club and
wheat is being sold steadily. Appar-
emily many are ready to accept 10
cents for their wheat and selling
would not be much heavier than 1t is
If threshing were over.
The sale of the wheat crop this
year will bring nearly s4,0O0,000 in
| the county and the most favorable
| thing about the situation, according
to the local bankers, is that the in
debtedness of the farmers is so light
that but a small part of the money
received will be needed for the pay
ment of notes and mortgages. In
general the farmers of the county are
| in good circumstances already and
where notes or mortgages are out
standing they will mostly be taken up
after harvest.
Fair Weather Wanted.
Among the wheatmen the prayer is
now for fair weather until after the
harvesting is over. The reports from
the storm Saturday show that but
slight loss resulted and it was con-
fined mainly to the little strip where
the hail fell. That the rain caused
some damage is also probable though
it is said the loss will be insignifi-
| cant if the weather is fair from this
time on,

The following synopsis of the silt
uation as regards the recent Portland
bank failure ts taken from the Tele-
gram:
W. Cooper Norris, the cashier, has
not arrived
Securities amounting to SS7l 200
taken east by NORRIS, have not been
received by Receiver Z. C. Devlin.
Officers OF the hank have mot given
their private fortune to assist the
banks depositors, hut may have to.
All depositors not yet members OF
the association should sign at Metz
ger & company, S42 Washington
street.
Value of the assets of the Oregon
Trust & Savings bank not yet known.
District Attorney Manning says
there is no question that the officials
received deposits when they knew wtthe
bank was insolpent.
Before any rapid progress can be
made in winding mp the affairs of ths
Oregon Trust & Savings hank several
things must occur. These are:
First-The receipt of the securities
taken east for hypothecation by w
Cooper Morris.
Second-The arrival of Mr. Morris,
himself.
Third-Contributio to the assets OF
the bank from the private funds by
the president and directors.
In the meantime, District Attor-
mel John Manning Is pursuing his in
vestigation, and he has discovered
that:
There is no question that the Of
ficers of the Oregon Trust & Savings
bank accepted deposits when they
knew that the bank was insolvent,"
according to the state prosecutors
. own statement.
Today the one question is. Where
is w. Cooper Morris and when will
he return, or will he?N
Thus far there has been no answer
from the absent cashier. Mr.. Morris
was expected home today at the lat
est. He was looked for yesterday, but
did not arrive. No one knows where
he is at present, but II is hoped he is
on his way home. The only definite
information concerning the move
ments of Morris is a telegram which
Mrs. Morris says she received from
him last Friday, dated Chicago, in
which he stated he was headed for
Portland. Not even a dispatch has
been received at the bank, so far as
known at least Receiver T. C. Dew
lin says he has heard nothing of Nor
ris.
Securities Still Absent
What concerns Mr.. Devlin more
than the whereabouts of the cashier.
however, is the securities which Nor
rie removed from the bank and took
east to have converted into cash.
These have not arrived. A banking
concern In New York telegraphed last
week that the securities had been
placed in the hands of an express
company. and were on their way to
Portland. They should have arrived
yesterday, but up to noon Mr.. Devlin
has not seen or heard from them.
The delay of Morris is causing con-
siderable comment. There are de-
positors Of the defunct bank who de-
clare they do not expect him to re-
turn.
Coercion Possible.
From what can be gathered from
various sources, 1t is apparent that
President Walter H. Moore may be
called on to contribute from his pri-
vate funds to assist the bank in paay-
ing depositors dollar for dollar. AS
sistance will also be necessary from
the other officers Directors Lytle and
Friede, who are each rated as veal
thy men. The directors, however,
have not said they would help, al
though Friede says he wishes to see
