GREAT CROP YEAR
IN NORTHWEST
Many Wheat Men Think They Should
Have Sold When at Dollar
Marx.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 4 r sixty
aye million bushels OF wheat, $4,000
coo bushels Of oats and 100000
bushels Of barley IS the extent Of the
grain crop predicted for Washington,
Idaho and Oregon this season by mil
lers and bankers who have made a
close study Of the situation in the
three states. The hay crop, including
alfalfa. viii be the largest IN the his.
tory of the northwest, and In addition
the growers in the Yakima valley IN
Washington viii make $4,000 bales OF
hops. The crop is high grade and
free from defects.
The wheat acreage in Washington
lis 2122,OoO acres this year. as against
1.72s,7s4 in 1908, when 25,5o0,o0O
bushels we're harvested. The yield
this year is estimated at from $1,000
GOO to 100000 bushels. as against
SS,O0OOOO bushels in 1907. oregon
has $1,000 acres in wheat this year,
as against s1S,5S5 in 1908, and it Is
expected the crop will be not less than
16,5OO,00O bushels. If conditions had
been favorable throughout the state
the yield would be 2i,OOO,OOO bushels.
idaho win cut between 9.5OO.OO0 and
10, 100000 bushels this year, as com.
pared with less than 100000 bushels
in 1908. It's acreage is 474,000 as
against 414,412 year ago.
Farmers are holding their oats for
S25 ton. which means from S29 10
s29.5O at tidewater The barley crop
is large, with plenty of coarse grain
for feeding later in the season. Many
OF the wheat ranchers believe they
made mistake in holding their grain
when 1t was al the dollar mark. as
prices have tumbled to from SO 10 S.
cents. Millers in the Inland Empire
do not expect raise until spring, the
basis for this being that the farmers in
the Canadian northwest are cutting
a bumper crop and the fact that Rus
sian and Danubian countries are
ready to ship to Europe

Why the Marquis Paid.

The famous surgeon, Velpeau, was
visited one day at his house during the
consultation hour by a marquis re-
nowned for his closeness. Velpeau in
formed the marquis that an operation
was urgent. and that the fee would
amount to 1000 francs. At this the mar
quis made a face and left. A fortnight
later Dr. Velpeau, while making his
rounds in the Hospital de Ia Charlie,
had his attention attracted by face
that seemed familiar to him. In answer
to his inquiry. it was stated that the
patient was footman of a nObleman Ill

geon found that his case resembled in
every particular the somewhat unusual

HE'LL GATE OF THE LAKES.
Greatest Golfer Dam in the World Now
Building There.

For more than a third of a century
the United States government has been
striving to provide a channel in the
lower Detroit river that would prove
equal to the constantly increasing de-
mands of marine interests on the Great
Lakes.
The conquest of the Lime Kiln cross
ing some fourteen miles below Detroit,
and the most troublesome spot on the
inland seas, has kept government engi-
neers busy for years, made contractors
wealthy and furnished employment for
hundreds of skilled drill and dredge
men.
Were all the collisions, groundings and
other accidents that have taken place in
the vicinity of the Lime Kiln crossing
to be enumerated, says The Technical
World, the showing would be impressive.
Now this most perpleXing problem of re-
moving this hindrance to further marine
development is well along toward a So
luton that will, it is confidently predict
ed. eliminate trouble for all time.
The change is being brought about
through one of the most remarkable en-
gineering feats on record, which involves
nothing less than the construction OF the
greatest Golfer dam the world has ever
known, the pumping out of an area
more than mile in length and approx
mately one-third of a mile in width. and
cutting in the dry from the limestone
rock forming the river bottom course
300 feet in width and a mile in length
that will when completed accommodate
the largest vessels on the Great Lakes.

The WAY in Temperance Towns.

This is one of the pet stories of w. r.
Smith, general attorney for the Santa
Fe. One must almost be a Kansan to
get the real chuckle out Of it. A man
dropped into a Kansas drug store and
asked for a bottle of beer.
"All right" said the druggist, reaching
for the ''sign-up" book. What reason
shall l give?"
I'm not SICK" said the purchaser.
"Well, if you don't want it for medic
inal purposes, do you want it for me-
chanical uses?'' asked the druggist.
"Sure, sure-for mechanical" was the
reply.
"Well, specify" went on the druggist.
