FARMERS TO HAUL
To COLUMBIA
MUCH WHEAT WILL BE
TAKEN TO COLD SPRINGS
Open River Company Makes Arrange
ments With Farmers Whereby Lat
ter Can Save Three Cents Per
Bushci-rrobably 10000 Bushels
Will Be Thus Affected.

Thousands of bushels of Umatilla
county wheat will be hauled to the
Cold Springs landing on the Colum-
bia river, this season. This is the
direct result of the visit to this city
Saturday OF Rodney B. Smith, the
representative of the Open River
Transportation company.
Much wheat Immediately tributary
10 Cold Springs has been hauled to
that point in the past. This has
been due to the fact that owing to wa
ter competition the railroad company
has been forced to make rate to
Portland a cent and half lower
than from any other point in the
county that does not have water COM
petition. Now, however, Mr.. Smith
announces that the Open River COM
pany is in a position to transport the
wheat to Portland for cent and q
half per bushel less than the rail-
road, making a total difference in ia
vor Of the Cold Springs shipper of
three cents per bushel or nearly seven
cents per sack.
As the farmers haul so sacks of
wheat at one load with a six-horse
team, it Is figured that any farmer
who Is close enough to the landing to
be able to haul one load day can
make good money by hauling it to
that point. According to w. r.
Campbell, a farmer living within Is
miles OF the landing can haul one
load day and he says that the
amount of grain to be delivered there
this season will be more than 10000
sacks. Had 1t not been for the, one
fourth shortage in the crop the
amount would have been much great
er.

Camp Perry, o., Aug. 21.-The
greatest sensation ever developed in

young man under 81, was bulletined
as winner in the governors match.
He beat the world-famous marksmen

with the $500 trophy cup offered. IL
addition he will receive a gold medal
and $50 in cash, as we'll as jumping
into prominence throughout the serv-
ice.
Phenomenal scores were made By
the oregon youth in the match. AT
500 yards he made perfect score,
SO out of so. At 1000 yards he lost
but one point in so. In the skirmish
run his total was 9S out Of 100, and
at 200 yards rapid fire he made the
most unusual total of 45, firing 10

Expert Is Defeated.

The second man in the contest,
Major Winder, was beaten by half a
dozen points, and Winder is one Of
the foremost military shots in the
world, having represented the United
States in all the big tournaments
abroad.
Young Roesch is new man at the
game. He Is at Camp Perry with the
United States naval academy team,
and his home is at Pendleton, Ore.
There were 500 riflemen who enter
ed the match, members of the infan-
try, cavalry, navy and national guards
taking part in the event. Entering
the match as a competitor, young
Roesch at first attracted no attention.
No one believed he would be able to
survive the elimination that followed
among those who start off with low
scores. A mere boy from western
town could not be expected to win
anything when pitted against the
crack sharpshooters of the United
States.
