BIG YIELD FOR
GILLIAN COUNTY

According to several of the
warehouse managers of the
county and many other reliable
authorities on the subject, the
usual acreage Of wheat and bar
ley in Gillian County is in crop
this year. The same authorities
predict that an average yield of
20 bushels Of wheat and barley
to the acre will be harvested.
Placing an average conservative
ly at Is bushels per acre, it
means that Gillian County will
produce this year 4, $50, 900
bushels of grain. They also
predict an early harvest saying
that unless there should be much
cloudy or rainy weather within
the next ten days, harvest will
be at least a week ahead of the
usual time. Of the 225, 900 acres
in grain this year, a much larger
percentage than usual is spring
sown. This is accounted for by
the fact that the early winter
put an end to fall sowing before
it was completed and for the
further reason that the early
spring with occasional showers
made conditions ideal for spring
seeding. According to tn e
ranches in the irrigated districts
tae alfalfa and fruit crops will
be far above the average. In
addition to the fact that there
will be three cuttings of alfalfa
in all sections, there is much
new acreage under irrigation.
In many places the second cut
ting is now being stacked.
Conditions throughout the
country in general were never
better.

Several Committees
Appointed.
SELECT JUDGES FOR STOCK
Are making great Preparations
for a Successful Fair next
October.

The Board of Directors of the
Seventh Eastern Oregon Dis
trict Agricultural Society are al
ready making extensive prepar-
ations for the Mayville Fair next
October IL 1874, which prom
ises to be the best fair. of the
kind ever seen in this sections of
the state. The poultry sheds
which have been erected contain
72 coops and more can easilysbe
arranged if necessary. Water
has been piped in front of the
horse barns with faucets at suit
able places andwatering troughs
have been placed in all of the
cattle, sheep and hog pens.
There will be no trouble in wa
tering the stock this year. The
Directors have secured the SER
vices of MIR. Yancey for judg-
ing the horses and cattle. Mr..
Yancey has served as Judge at
the Portland Horse Show. Salem,
and several other big shows on
the Pacific Coast. He is con-
sidered to be one of the best
judges of horses and cattle west
of t he Rockies. Competent
judges of poultry and fruit will
be present from Corvallis. In
tending exhibitors may feel as
sured of experienced judges in
all lines. The services of some
of the best speakers in the
state have been secured. The
horses and cattle which win be
shown at this fair are second to
none. The specimens of fruit
can be beaten by none and
equaled by few. If the efforts
of the Directors account for any
thing, October will bring the
finest exhibition of Agricultural
products ever seen in Eastern
Oregon.

OF
MARK PORTWOOD

Seldom has it been the duty of
this paper to record so sad an
occurrence as the death of Mark
Portwood which happened on
Thursday of last week in a hos
pital in Chehalis, Wn.
Marcus Henry Portwood was
born in this county on Noyem-
ber 16, 1888 and passed away ON
June 16, 1910 at the age of s21
years and 8 months. He lived
in this vicinity all his life until
March 30 when he went to Port
land and took position with
the railroad company as a time
keeper on a construction
train and it was while in the
performance of his duties that
death came to him. He was the
oldest of a family of three, leav-
ing a father. mother, sister and
brother to mourn his loss beside
other relatives and a host of
sorrowing friends. 1t was the
writer's good fortune to have
known him well and only, to es-
TEEN him more highly as the
years passed by. His was a
heart of gold. He was one of
natures noblemen in its truest
sense brave, generous, manly
and his friends and friendship
were sacred to him.
Much has been taken from his
parents, sister, brother and
large circle of friends and al
though it is sad to give up one
whose influence among men
would have been for good, yet
He who doeth all things well,
makes no mistakes.
The funeral was in charge Of
the l. o. 0. F. Lodge Of which
he was a member, and was one
of the largest ever seen in this
city. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful The acci-
dent which caused hks death was
taken cheerfully ahd with the
philosophy of his favorite poet,
Omar Kayyam, whb. wrote:
''The Ball no question makes of
Ayes and Noes,
But Here or There as strikes the
Player goes;
And He who tossId you down in
to the Field,
He knows about it all-He knows
He knows.

WANTS OUT
TOO
Convicted Mans Attorney Maintains
That, If Art Johnson's Sentence
is Set Aside, Fellow Prisoner
Should Likewise Go Free.
ARGUE BEFORE JUDGE SULLIVAN

A great deal of time was occupied
this morning in the county court by
the argument of motion made by
Attorney Joe w. Rozzelle, defending
w. b. Gould, convicted on a bootleg
ging charge in the city court and
sentenced to serve ninety days but
who is now in the county Jail serving
similar sentence for running dis
orderly house, disorderly because
Gould had been selling booze in his
house.
The case of Gould is similar in
practically every way to that of Art
Johnson, who Is also serving ninety
day county sentence but whose city
sentence of ninety days was set aside
yesterday. by Mayor Told after I1hpr
Son had voluntarily pol ed into the
cutters the large amount Of liquors
found In his house when the house
was raided.
An appeal had been taken from
the city court to the county court in
both of the city convictions. How
ever, Johnson's case was brought to
an end yesterday by the action of
Mayor Todd.
Now comes Gould. through his at
torney, and asks that the city SEN
tence against him be set aside, main
tanning that justice demands that If
the city case against Art Johnson is
dismissed then the city case against
Gould should be dismissed.
The case was vigorously argued
by Attorney Rozzelle and by the city
attorney and deputy city attorney.
Judge Sullivan took the motion
under advisement and will render a
decision in few days.
A greater amount of liquors was
found in Gould's place when the raid
was made than was found in John
sons place and these goods are in the
custody of the sheriff. However,
Gould is not willing to destroy these
goods.

AN INSTITUTE FOR THE LADIES

That the stock men of Colorado
propose to have one OF the greatest
sessions here of their association ever
held in this state is evidenced every
day by the work that is being out
lined and done by the officers and
members of the association.
Today Fred P. johnson, known
throughout the state by the cattle
men and men in the public eye and
secretary of the Colorado Stock
Growers Association, is present in
the city, making preliminary ar
rangements for their coming meet
ing. He has been about today, with
Secretary Mahony OF the Chamber OF
Commerce, looking into matters most
thoroughly.
A new departure is to take place
this year. The ladies', who have not
heretofore attended the annual meet
grace the convention and it's attend
ant festivities.
Mr.. johnson told a Sentinel man
that there were allied with this as
sociation 1000 members. and that
we may easily expect 1900 visitors
during the occasion and time of the
cOHNeHtiOn.
AS the ladies are to be here, some
thing had to be done to excite their
interest, and it has been proposed
and will be carried into execution an
institute for work by them.
And what sort of an institute do
you think it will be? 1t will be a
study on two great questions Meat
and Milk" A fine steer will be fed
and killed, the carcass taken into the
institute and from the work of ex-
pert cutters it will be explained to
the ladies the best and most econom-
ical manner of carving his steership.
Then the ladies will have a number
of lessons in the manner in which
the undesirable and cheaper parts of
the steer can be cooked to be made
more palatable than they ever knew
before.
This part of the institute work Is
going to be made most attractive ani
instructive and will attract the at
tention of many people other than
the ladies of the stock men.
This great convention will take
place in this city on July IS and 49,,
and will be among the greatest of
the conventions held here this year.

RAILROADS WANT MORE MONEY
Especial to The Sentinel. I

Chicago, Apr. 12.-"Railroads will
be compelled to get more money;
and. If there is no Other way in which
to get 1t, they will be forced to in
crease freight rates." declared James
j. Hill in an interview here.
'In order to take care of the busi-
ness which will be offered during the
next few years." continued Mr.. Hill.
''the railroads will have to spend
vast sums of money. They cannot
get this money out of earnings and
they cannot borrow 1t. How can
they borrow money to invest in n
venture, the financial returns of
which are constantly presenting less
favorable comparison with the re-
turns in other commercial lines?
THE railroads seem to have about
reached the limit in the way of eco
nomics of operation and other eco
nomics, and. II they cannot borrow,
what else can they do but increase
the freight rates?"
Mr.. Hill stated that the total value
of all farm products this year ought,
by the present outlook, to exceed the
value of such products last year by
at least $600,000,000, and the de-
mand for railway service is constant
ly increasing. The crops In the north
west, he said, are three weeks ahead
of last year at this time and every
thing points to record business this
year.
After stating that the railroad con-
gestion last winter would not have
occurred had the railroads been sup
piled with necessary money, Mr.. Hill
predicted serious conditions this fall.
UNLESS the crops are failure" he
concluded. this country is likely to
see the worst traffic congestion next
fall and winter that has ever been
experienced"
