northwestern portion of Owyhee, CIV

handsomest folders 1t has been our
privilege to see. 1t Is most superb
ly printed, containing a map of the
road between Caldwell and Winnie
mucca and showing the mines and
business points 1t will benefit, as well
as depicting Caldwell much to its
advantage. But to us the most sat
isfactory point is the evidence that
work is now actively going on on the
portion of the proposed railway near
est the mining camps of DeLamar,
Silver City, Flint and South Noun

to Sheaville, our nearest receiving
and shipping point, within one year.
This will place DeLamar within ~

A GREAT BOOK.
The College of Idaho has at Last
It's Historical Book ON the
Markets.

A copy of the much talked about
publication issued by the Associated
Body of the College of Idaho is now
before US.
1t is a fascinating book of some
one hundred and eighty-five pages
and is beautifully bound and gotten
up. 1t is really matter of genuine
surprise that any work of such i'm
portance has been published by the
College. The book is largely his
toric in nature and deals with the
history of this section in q series of
articles remarkable for the light
they throw upon interesting facts not
generally known even to the people
who have lived In Southern Idaho
for many years.
One feature which makes the
Renaissance" a gem Is its series
of beautiful half-tones, which go
along with the reading matter. It
is an art book in every sense of the
word and has all the marks of a
work Of quality. In fact the only
thing to be regretted is that the Col
lege in getting out this book did
not plan for larger edition than
simply the five hundred which are
now ready for the market. Every
old timer will want a book to re-
fresh his memory by means of the
descriptions and the photographs of
the Caldwell Of twenty years ago.
Every new conner will want one in
order to get posted about the facts
of the past. In fact the "Renais-
sance" is the finest souvenir of Cald-
well by far that has ever been got
ten out and what is the best thing
about it is its permanent value. 1t
represents in its entirety the ability
of this section. The principal con-
tributors to the same are Ex-gov-
ernor Morrison, President w. J.
Boone, w. R. Cupp, United States
Land Commissioner, and Lawrence H.
GIBSON, Professor Of History at the
College of Idaho.
The people OF this section are GER
tainly indebted to the College of
Idaho for fulfilling long felt need
by issuing such book.

Out It Out.

Gee! I'm tired of al this talkin'
Bout the "money stringency;"
An just how they'll keep it goin'
Is too hard one for me.
Mighty hard to run a panic
With New York Wall street BLUM
While the tables groan with eatin's
An the cellars full o. stuff.
They may lay 1t onto Teddy,
Or on any other man;
An may brighten all the people
Nigh to dyin'-if they can;
But they'll keep on pickin' nubbins
An laughin' them to scorn-
While their pits are full o. taters
An their cribs are full o. corn.
They may tighten up the money
Tight as beeswax for a while,
An may puggle stocks" and "blue
SKYE
In most any kind o. style;
But they can't stampede the public
When there's lots O. grub to eat,
With their grain bins all a-bustin'
An their pork bar'ls full o. meat.
It's a long ways of to starvin',
With the country far an wide
Groanin' with its load o. plenty,
An the good Lord on our side.
Better stop this panic howlin'
Till you know what you're about;
Can't get red blood from turnip,
No use tryin'-cut It out.

The Farm Train.

The University of Idaho has or
ganized a Farm Train. for the pur-
pose of imparting needed informa-
ton to the farmers of the State.
While the train, so far as this State
is concerned, is as yet an experiment,
as far as 1t has been tested, It is
q big success. One Of the Moscow
papers has the following to say
about the farm train:
"That the farm train is a success
is shown by the eagerness with which
towns are applying for institute
dates. Several two-day institutes
will be held next winter, when more
time can be given to topics Of inter-
est. It is succeeding In another way,
too, for 1t shows farmers that the
transportation companies are deeply
interested in the future Of production
of their territory. II In fact cements

OREGON WHEAT CROP GONE.
Scarcely any Hope In Eastern Part
Of State.


Of State.
Pendleton Tribune:-Five days of
warm bright sunshine, only five days,
but these days have melted thous-
ands Of dollars into thin nothingness,
mortgages and deficits in Umatilli
County. Already q part of the wheat
crop is beyond hope and few more
days of this continuous heat beating
upon a dry and mostureless sold will
encompass the destruction of more
wealth than the county ever lost be-
fore in as short time.
Purl Bowman, In from his ranch
only a couple of miles from town on
the reservation line, yesterday said:
"The wheat all thru the southwest
section Of the belt is Just about gone.
The spring has been exceedingly dry,
but SO long as the weather remained
cool the wheat stood up well and
gave indications of maturing. But
the sudden change to the extreme
heat of the past Ave days has simply
burnt 1t up. The ground was dry,
no moisture In It, and the heat has
worked terrific destruction. Tall,
nice wheat, standing as high as a
mans hips, is now withered and rap
idly falling.
Rain? Yes, rain to-day or to-
morrow or the day after nigh help
the upper section, but I am afraid
the wheat crop of Umtilla County is
gone. Anyhow. Of any is to be saved
there must be rain and that at once"
Mr.. Bowman is one of the biggest
wheat ranchers in the County and
has made a fortune in the business
and Is a man who knows the condi-
lions.
Frank Frazer, also a we'll known
rancher, said yesterday:
Wheat crops? There will be no
wheat crop to the south and west and
I am afraid there will be none in the
upper district, not unless there Is a
big rain within the next day of two"
The seriousness of the situation
can hardly be comprehended. 1t has
ben known for some time that there
would be no wheat crop in the lower
end Of the County. along the edge
Of the belt. but then a failure In that
section every year or two has always
been taken for granted as matter
of course.
On the other hand the GOODNESS Of
the weather, giving great assistance
to the growing wheat, has deceived
many. he wheat stood high and
green, looking fine, but down in the
ground there was no moisture. Con-
sequently when the cool weather end
ed suddenly and the usual heat came
on the wheat simply could not stand
It and went down under the thermal
onslaught.
Purl Bowman says that field after
field of wheat out In his section is
already turning brown, drying up,
burned up. For such as this there is
no hope. Other fields are rapidly
turning. Small hope for them.
Some fields are still standing the dry
heat but they will not hold out for
many days without a rain. The rain
must come and come at once.

Wool Market.

The news from all the Eastern WOO
markets is that prices are Arm with
slight advances. The manufacturers
have been buying conservatively and
as a consequence prices are some
what firmer. The following is the
condition of the Boston market as
published by the American Stock
man:
"The market is quiet. but a. little
bit firmer, with a slight advance OBJ
tanned on one-quarter blood fleece.
The latter is one of the strongest
features Of the market, and the sup
ply is being rapidly cleaned up.
Prominent buyers have bid 30 cents
for choice this week, and found hold
ers unwilling to sell in some cases.
Sales have been made at ASH cents
and "a cents.
"For other grades the market is
firm. but there is no change In pri-
ces. Staple woods suitable for the
worsted mills are in strong position.
All imported stock is firmer In SYM
pathy with the foreign rise. But as
in all these cases SUPPLIES on hand
are comparatively small, there is
reason in holders expressing more
confidence Gin the opinion that the
decline has been checked.
But supplies, of which there Is
the largest stock on hand, namely
clothing territory and other short
woods, are almost as hard to sell as
formerly. and certainly will not bring
any better prices. Dealers who are
loaded with these almost unstable
woods are not feeling much brighter
over the prospects than they were.
The best that can be said for them
is that they have struck bottom. No
further material decline is expected,
Tor prices are low, and 1t is believed
that manufacturers will be able to
make q fabric out of these cheap
woods that win prove salable."
