s MILLION BUSHELS ESTIMATE
WarehOuseman Predicts the Usual
Large Crop of Grain,

The usual acreage of wheat. barley
and grain hay in Umatilla county is
in crop this year, according to E. W.
McComas. representative of the North
western Warehouse company. and
according to the same authority the
usual average yield of 25 bushels of
wheat to the acre or total of 5,O00-
900 will be harvested, says the East
Oregonian. Mr.. McOomas also looks
for an early harvest, saying that un-
less there should Ee much cloudy or
rainy weather within the next 10 days
harvest will be two weeks ahead Of
time.
MoComas says that of the 100000
acres in wheat this year, a somewhat
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 seed
ing. He says the barley prospects arr
also good and expects to see an aver
age yield Of 40 bushels per acre oil
400. 900 bushels from the eight to ter
thousand acres in ciop.

southern Inland Empire towns will be
adjusted by the railroads voluntarily.
according to statements made by Ben
O. Hold chairman of the Walla Walla

caused by the rates being lowered In

MORE THAN HALF A MILLION
Estimates Made on Returns From Diff
ferent Counties.

The census enumeration of the state
of Oregon, SO far as can be confirmed
I by officers of the census bureau, will
show a population of 675,879. The
net gain to the state will be 262, 433.
While official figures are not obtain
able, comparison of the totals for
! each county. as gathered during the
progress of the work, with the total
school population, the votes cast for
judges of the supreme court since 9he
census of 1900 and the vote on con-
gressmen, warrants the belief that the
Oregonian's figure are approximately
correct.
An interesting feature of the result
pertains to the total number of con-
gressmen which will Ee awarded to
the state and the possibility that Null
tnomah county will be declared sep
arate congressional district.
Representation In the present con
gress is on basis of one member for
each 1914, 900. Congress is likely to be
increased by the addition of 20 men,
bers on total population of 90,OO0,-
900 in the United States. On that
ratio representatives would be on a
basis of one for 215,000 people. Ore
gon would then gain at least one mem
Der.
In both congressional districts the
work of the field enumerator is still in
progress and will probably not be con-
cluded prior to July 1. At that time
all of the remaining records will be
boxed and shipped to Washington for
tabulation. Estimates furnished from
Director Durand, OF the census hu-
reau, indicate that official figures al
to the result of the count will not be
| available before October.
