WALLA WALLA FARMER
SATISFIED WITH WHEAT

Walla Walla.-"There has been
much criticism because We do not
give more attention to the products
of the hen, the dairy and the orchard,
but after sailing successfully through
the choppy sea of experience and
rounding into the calm and peaceful
bay of satisfaction, We are content
to let others experiment with the va
rious branches of intensified agricul-
ture."
This statement yesterday by eX-
State Senator John l.. Yeend at the
weekly luncheon of the Commercial
club, fairly describes the attitude of
the wheat farmers of the Walla Wal
la valley towards the campaign for
fruit and dairy ranches. Mr., Yeend
Is one of those who have farmed and
made a fortune, and he, like the 9TH
ers, would rather sit by and take
the certain revenue of his acres than
to experiment with fruit or other
products of which they know less.
Mr.. Yeend has been a farmer in this
valley for 80 years, and his lands have
returned many fold, until now he is
possessed of a handsome and certain
income.
And that is just where the trou-
BILE in the advancement of the Walla
Walla valley is" said a progressive
fruitgrower of the city after the
luncheon. "The Walla Walla valley
is so rich and the producing of grain
so easy that they will not try to
branch out. They are making mon
ey, and they have acquired thousands
OF acres. And as long as these acres
are making them independently rich
they will try nothing else. Our
greatest difficulty will be to pry these
lands loose, cut them up and show
where they can support 10, even 20,
times the population they are now
doing"
All this is in line with a statement
made by Professor Thatcher of the
Washington State college, while in
company with the demonstration train
put out by the o. r. & N.
THE farmers could double their
income. could multiply it even more,
but they will not. Why, Because
they are too lazy Wheat raising is
easy. Fruit farming and dairying is
trouble. There you are. They won't
even plant corn on the summer fall
low, because 1t is more trouble to cui-
tivate between the rows than to simp-
ly drag over the whole ground and
kill all the vegetation. And in so
doing they are hindering the advance
ment of the country and are every
year impoverlshing their lands"

Portland. May 13.-There is prac-
tically no wheat remaining unsold in
the hands Of producers at this time in
any of the Pacific Northwest belts,
according to local wheat buyers.
The market is entirely bare of Of
ferlngs and dealers say that the sea-
son has closed to all intent and pur-
poses. The same condition exists in
oats and barley and offerings are so
small that they can scarcely be con-
sidered.
II will be about three months be-
fore the new crop is ready for the
market and until that time the local
grain market will remain nominal
with all sorts OF values In effect.
Even at the present time there is a
difference of about sc bushel in the
price offered for wheat by various
buyers but most of the offerings find
no response for the reason that there
IL only a nominal supply left and some
of this may possibly be needed for re-
seeding before long because of the
long continued cold weather.
There is no change in sentiment in
the flour market-the big millers re-
fusng to put prices higher.
Serious Potato Shortage.
The shortage Of potato supplies in
the local as well as other Pacific coast
markets Is very serious and the crisis
will be reached within the next IA
days. That there is not sufficient
supply of old potatoes remaining to
fill the wants of the trade until new
crop stock is sufficiently aged to al
low their use for all purposes. is the
general opinion Of the potato trade
here. but there is some slight differ
ence of opinion as to whether the
shortage will be severe enough to
force ny further advance in prices.
Livestock Markets.
Tho livestock market is not show
ing any change in condition from yes
terday. Arrivals of cattle were not
so liberal-In fact they were very
scant-and this stopped to certain
extent the talk of immediate slumps
in values. Today's run of cattle to-
tailed but "a head compared with 536
yesterday 22S Thursday and 60 Nom
day
Much disappointment is expressed
by local receivers and buyers at the
very small showing in sheep supplies
during recent days. Today there was
no run at all, while 6S6 head ap-
peared yesterday and none TUESDAY.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-05-14

on Monday sheep arrivals were 52S
head.
Small runs of sheep Is a great help
toward maintaining values in that line,
and all recent arrivals have been read
lly taken care of at the highest prices
for the various grades.

has been terrorizing this section a
an early hour this morning whel
Kent was killed outright and VII

pitched battle with despcradoe
twenty-five miles south of here.
A posse composed of determine
men from Folsom and Clayton is ou
securing the country for the murder
ers and they are likely to receive bu
little mercy If caught. The killing o
the officers coming on top of the
long series of thefts committed by al
organized gang of rustlers in this par
of the territory has raised popular
feeling to high pitch and it vii
likely be a case of short shrift for tho
men who killed the deputies.
Kent, Williams and Gay Mellon

Kent and Williams had Just returned
from Kansas with seventeen head Of

discharged after serving term n
the penitentiary and suspected of be-
ing the ringleader in the thefts from,

by the rustlers.
At two o'clock this morning Kent.
Williams and Mellon went out from
John Kings ranch, twenty-five miles
south, to arrest the JamisOn brothers

the battle growing hotter as the
thieves fled before the posse turning
to fire as they went. 1t is belovcG
that some of the shots of the posse
took effect and that further reports
will show some of the rustlers killed
