REPORTS FROM GRAIN BELTS.
Outlook for Big Yields in Inland En-
pire Farms.

Reports from the grain belts in ease
ern Washington and Oregon, northern
and central Idaho and western Montana,
compiled by August Wolf of the Sps-
kae chamber of commerce, show that the
wheat yield in the Inland Empire will
be near the 100000 900 bushel mark this
season, as against 65,000,000 bushels in
1907, the banner year in the history of
the district. Conditions are also favor
able for bumper crops of oats and ether
cereals.
The acreage of winter wheat is as
large as it has ever been, while there
will be an increase of from IL to IS per
cent in spring-sown grain. What this
means to the farmers of this part of the
northwest will be better understood
when it is known that 50-cent wheat is
profitable, 65-cent grain yields big re-
turns, while from 75-cent to 81 wheat
becomes the basis of fortunes.
More than 100000 acres of land in
ID counties in eastern Washington
yielded 40,675,0O0 bushels of wheat in
1907.
Farmers throughout the country be-
lieve that prices this year will be
higher than have yet prevailed at the
beginning of the shipping season, as
there is little wheat on hand.

GERS in the Columbia river valley, died

THOUSANDS KILLED
HORRIBLE MASSACRE In The
ASIATIC TURKEY.
Situation Is Extremely Serious-More
Than $4,000 Killed at Adana and
Thousands in Other Districts-Efforts
of the Powers to Restore Order With
Warships Is Barely Felt.

Beirut, Syria, April 26.-The situation
in Asiatic Turkey is extremely serious.
How many thousands have been massa-
cred can not be estimated, because the
disturbances have been so widespread
that it is impossible to obtain details
of the happenings.
The latest estimates of the number
killed in the vilayet of Adana reaches
approximately $4,000, and thousands
have been killed in the towns of other
districts. The state of siege at sew
eral places has brought the inhabitants
near starvation and each day brings
its tale of further atrocities and the
depths of misery and despair to which
the savagery of the fanatics has
brought the people can not be esti-
mated.
Several warships are now in these
waters, but the disorders are so far
reaching that the efforts of the powers
to restore normal conditions have as
yet barely been felt.
The French cruiser Jules Ferry is at
Latakia, where swarms of refugees are
pouring in. British, French and German
warships are at other points and ma
rines have been landed to quell the dis
orders at the more important points.
Ten Thousand Are Besieged.

Czarina VIII Cruise.

Broken in health and on the verge of
a mental collapse, the czarina is making
preparation for a cruise in the Mediter-
ranean, with her children, during most
of the summer. Her majesty's physi-
clans are known to have warned the
czar recently that nothing but long
absence from Russia will save her life,
There is no question that her majesty Is
collapse is due to continual worry for
the safety of herself, her husband and
their children.

OIL COMPANY PAYS FINE.
Nearly Two Millions Paid to State

rency was opened in the Office of the

bundle of 81 900 bills made up the bulk
of the remainder of the sum.

STEEL. STOCK
IS IN DEMAND

NEW YORK, June l4.-There was fur
Their shrinkage in the volume of the stock
market today, following the tendency of
last week. Efforts of the organized spec
ulstive. element TO effect profit taking sales
to take advantage of any outside demand
attracted by the weekend influences forced
decline after the opening, in consequence
of the meager proportions of the outside
demand. The entire unresponsiveness of
the general market to the impressive ad-
vance in United States steel proved
striking feature of the days transactions.
The accumulation of United States steel
was most persistent and aggressive, both
for home and London account. Buying
from both sources was considered impOr
tant and as due &c influential financial in
terests. The highest price touched before
today was 693s on June 8. As the
half per cent quarterly dividend came off
the stock last week today's price of 6s7s
exceeds the previous record by that much
additional.
Aside from the impression made by the
buying itself and the differences drawn
from it. there was no development
concerning the property to account for the
strength of United States steel. The in
Production of it to the Paris market came
into renewed discussion. and it was urged
that the beginning of active trading in the
stock in Paris might be made the occasion
for stock market demonstration. Anal
gamated Copper passed from under the
depression which has held it for several
days and moved upward, in spite of another
] decline in London and unfavorable opinions
on the trade position reported from Paris.
Paris gave over the active selling Of
coppers which it had been following in
connection with the speculation in South
African gold mines, which has engaged the
attention of Paris operators.
Union Pacific made some show of
strength, but Southern Pacific was heavy,
helping to the confusion of speculative SEN
timent. Much Of the gratuitous informa-
tion in the shape of tips distributed before
trading began went wrong today, and this
was another factor in keeping sentiment
unsettled. The Hill stocks were persist
emily heavy. The new impetus to the
United States steel movement also was
contrary to the heralded promise, Outside
of United States steel the most conspicu-

ash preferred. The rise in that stock to
6lA was accompanied by circumstantial
reports of q coming absorption by the
Lackawanna, with a guarantee Of a divi-
dend on Wabash preferred as a compensa-
tion. While oircumstantial and persist
ent. this report was without any oonhrma-
ton. The sudden movement in various
dormant securities popularity of the
market, as il was last week The great
expansion which the loan item of the
banks is showing was much discussed, but
interior demand for credit remained so
quiet that opinion on the money situation
was treasured. There was a softening of
rates for time loans.
Bonds were Irregular Total sales (par
vslue), $4,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on
