GILLIAN WHEAT
YIELD IS SHORT
LACK OF MOISTURE
CAUSE OF SHORTAGE
Indications Point to Smallest Crop
Production in Mapy Ycars-Grow-
ers PrOfltlng by Sharp Competition
Among Buycrs-Largcr Acreage
Next Year.

Hyman Cohen, market editor Of the
Portland Journal, has written the fol-
lowing:
Gillian county's wheat fields will
vary more than ever before in size
of yield. Some of the fields will
range as high as 35 bushels to the
acre, but it is not likely that any
great number Of such great yields will
be shown this season.
From harvest returns now being re-
ceived by buyers and millers, It is
unlikely that Gilliam's fields will av-
erage over 10 bushels to the acre, and
In some places the condition Of the
crop is so bad that the grain will
not pay harvesting expenses-be-

NEW PROJECT ADOPTED.
Goshen Hole Irrigation Scheme In
Wyoming 10 BE Completed.

The long looked for Goshen Hole
canal, which, according to the pre-
liminary plans Of the reclamation SER
vice, will water a greater acreage than
any other canal of the great Path
finder project, but which was held in
allegiance for pearly four years on
account Of the expense of construc-
ton, is soon to become an accom-.
pished fact, and will transform the
beautiful Goshen Hole, long known
to cattlemen as one of the best stock
ranges in the state, into a country Of
prosperous irrigated farms, says the
Cheyenne Tribune.
The Goshen Hole canal will be 146
miles IN length, one of the longest
canals in the country, and will water
10000 acres Of land, including about
10000 acres in Nebraska.
The canal will easily carry water
for 10000 acres additional, which
may be economically irrigated by a.
pumping system.
Tic reclamation service has all
ways recognized the opportunities for
the reclaiming of a large tract in the
Goshen Hole, but has always hesi-
tated to recommend the construction
of the irrigation system on account of
the vast outlay necessary before there
should be any return, particularly in
the early history of the service, when
all the money was going out and
nothing coming in.
The fine character of the Wyoming
soil, the large number Of farmers al
ready occupying lands along the
Platte under the interstate and other
canals, and the abundance of water
being stored in the Pathfinder dam,
were all presented to the government
men with good effect.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-08-07

to the acre, this just paying harvest
ing expenses, even at the high prices
now being paid by buyers. Thus far
the wheat received from near by
spots has weighed from 81 to So
pounds per bushel, but as only a nom
inal amount of the grain has thus far
been received at store here this esti-
mate Of the weight Of the coming
crop is very likely overdrawn to a
considerable extent.
Much of the larger per cent Of the
wheat Of this section Is Of the spring
variety, and this accounts in meas
ure for the smallness of the yield
compared with last years record
breaking production.
To date there has been but a small
amount of purchases in Arlington
vicinity, for farmers have been too
busy to sell, and on rising market
it is seldom their policy to let go of
their growth. The few sales report
ed have been at a range from IS to
so cents bushel, the latter being
the extreme top. While the competl-
tion at Arlington has not been veryl
keen among the warning factions
Balfour, Guthrie & Co. Kerr-Gifford
& Co. and bell-Stanford-Hen
ley company-the trade expects big
things to happen to prices when the
crop movement begins in real ear
nest.

ALLISON'S LIFE WAS
QUIET, LONELY ONE
Not a Blood Relative Living-Thou-
sands of Friends Attend Funeral.

Not Blood Relative Llving-Thou-
sands of Friends Attend Funeral.
Dubuque, Iowa, Aug THE ar
rangements for the funeral of SEN
ator William B. Allison will be COM
pleted today at a meeting OF his
friends. There is not a relative to
consult, not a single wish to con-
slider outside Of the desire of the host
Of friends In Dubuque and Washing
ton and throughout Iowa. Alone, not
survived by a blood relative and liv-
ing solely for the public service which
he might perform, Senator Allisons
last few days were a fitting climax of
lonely mans life.
The Allison home today is in charge
OF the few intimate friends Of Sem
ator Allison. The house, draped in
mourning, is fairly filled with flow
ers. and the body OF the aged sem
ator prepared for burial will no doubt
be laid in state for several hours later
in the week.
His funeral arrangements depict
the loneliness of his later years. No
relatives are present-he has none.
Friends are there-he has legions-
and 1t is they who are arranging the
obsequles over the remains of Iowa's
distinguished senator who had pass
ed his life so much in the hands of
the public. Home life, privacy and
quiet were all sacrificed by Senator
Allison for the public welfare.
Senator Allison was more than a
public man; he was the public's man.
He belonged to them. They will bury |
him as he would be buried, by /
throngs of his neighbors and friends.
Elaborate preparations are being
made to handle the enormous crowds
of friends not only from Iowa, but
from all over the United States, who
will attend the funeral services of
the great statesman. Many of his COL
leagues in the senate will be present.
Many of the officials from Washing
ton are telegraphing to Dubuque
friends that they will be present. No
other man other than a president
will be more honored dead than
Senator Allison.

Canal Dlggers Throw Out 3,16S,6i0
Cubic Yards In July,

Canal Diggers Throw Out 3,16S,640
Cubic Yards in July.
A special from Panama to the
United Press says:
Month by month the total excava-
ton on the Isthmian canal is increas-
ing. cablegram received yesterday
from Colonel Goethals, chief engineer
on the Isthmus, shows that the exca.
walton for July was considerably
greater than for June, although the
latter was almost a record in the ca
nal work.
The total excavation for July was
S,16S,640 cubic yards, against $685.
976 cubic yards for June, and 1887,
49S cubic yards for July year ago.
In the corresponding months this
shows an increase of 2,O91,32 cubic
yards.
The average daily output for July.
1908, was 1919 cubic yards, against
41,442 cubic yards in July, 1907. In
July OF this year, 1,S47,173 cubic
yards of material were removed by

COCAINE MEASURE ADOPTED.

Richmond. Va, March 6.-The
Dill establishing teachers retire
ment fund. which was adopted I'm
the senate on Wednesday. passed
the house yesterday. The house
adopted the amendment proposed by
the finance committee decreasing
the appropriation for the fund from
ten thousand to five thousand dol
lars.
The bill making the uElawful
selling or handling OF cocaine a
felony, which had long einee passed
the senate, was adopted by the
house. The central feature OF the
new law Is that It makes possession
OF the drug prima facie evidence of
the guilt of the accused. The peni-
Tertiary sentence I'm case OF convic-
ton Is not less than one year nor
moro than five. An emergency
clause is attached TO the bill, which
Will become a law with the sigma
ture OF the governor.
There are to be no more hangings
In the state OF Virginia. All erin
mails hereafter are TO be executed by
electricity in the state penitentlary
in this city. This action was reach
ed when the senate concurred In
the house bill providing for electro
cution. The bill provides for an ap-
preparation OF one thousand dollars
for the installation OF an electric
chair and the building OF a death
chamber.
