SURVEY PUSHED NORTH.
Alaskan i Boundary Line May Be
Marked This Year.


Marked This Year.
Washington, D. C.-Since the sum-
mer of 1909 the joint commission ap-
pointed by the United States and Ca
madam governments to locate and
mark the boundary line separating
British territory from Alaska has
been actively engaged in this work,
pushing the line northward from the
Yukon to Porcupine river by the end
of the 1910 season. Last summer the
field operations were advanced farther
along that part Of the 141st meridian
which extends from Porcupine river to
the Arctic Ocean, and it is believed
that the present year will witness the
completion Of this part of the survey.
Realizing that its well-equipped
field organization afforded unusual IA
cilities in this remote and rather in
accessible region for gathering much
information not directly connected
with the particular work of locating
and marking the boundary line, the
Joint commission extended an invita-
ton, which was readily accepted, to
the Geological survey Of Canada and
the United States Geological survey to
send biologists to accompany the field
parties during 1911 and 1912 and to
examine the geology along the bound
airy from the Yukon to the Arctic.

Walla Walla Cutting two crops of
wheat hay from the same tract WITHIN
seven or eight weeks ii the expert
eDce Of w. A. Ritz, wealthy farmer
of this city, on nine acre tract that
he has been preparing to put into
garden. Mr.. Ritz said that yielding
wheat at such q rate was about as VAL
liable occupation for the land as Weld
ing garden. and he ascribed the enor-
nous product to the Walla Walla soil.
The first cutting Of wheat was taken
off the land about six weeks ago.
yielding at that time somewhat more
than 90 tons for the nine acres.
The other day upon returning from
the Baltimore convention, where he
was a delegate, Mr.. Ritz was sur
prised when his foreman hold him an,
other cutting of the wheat would be
necessary, and examination showed
the second crop to be two feet tall,
with prospects of yielding another tor
and half to the acre. Cutting will
be commenced in few days. s
The soil was formerly in alfalfa,
and last year was plowed up anc
planted to potatoes, a heavy yielc
being produced, and in the fall agar
sown to red chaff wheat, afte,

MEAT SCARS IN CHICAGO.
Packers Hold Out Little Hope Of
Decrease to Housewives.

Decrease to Housewives.
Chicago - Meat prices, already a
serious problem for Chicago house
wives, have climbed a notch in the
last few days and, according to those
acquainted with the situation, show
no signs of decreasing. In Chicago
prices are:
Porterhouse steak, 20 to IS cents.
Sirloin steak, (best cut). % cents.
Round steak, 20 to % cents.
Lamb chops (best), Is to 80 cents.
Pot roast, Is cents.
Veal outlets, 80 to 35 cents.
Pork chops, 10 to 81 cents.
These figures, according to local
dealers, are a big advance over figures
for last year at this season. F. S.
Hayward, secretary for Swift & Co.,
said:
"The scarcity of cattle and the in
crease Of population are responsible
for the advanced price of meats.
"Prices are not going to lower read
ily', declared James Irwin, control
ling several markets.. Among the
reasons for the advance of meat
prices is the high price of corn"

American sentiment, will Be the sub
ject Of consideration by the foreign
committee of the senate.
Within day or two, it is believed,
the senate will be called upon to adopt
. resolution stating in unequivocal
terms that the Monroe doctrine or the
settled policy Of the United States
requires that no foreign power be thus
permitted to secure military or ma
val foothold in the Western hemi-
sphere.
Senator Lodge, as chairman Of the
subcommittee that Investigated the
rumor of q japanese purchase Of A.
600, 900 acres Of land on Magdalena
Bay, will make formal report to the
foreign affairs committee, recommend
| ing that the United States reaffirm
the policy known as the Monroe doc
trine in terms that cannot be misun-
derstood by any foreign power.
The senate investigation began as
the result Of reports that a private
Japanese syndicate was attempting to
control vast tract about the Lower
California bay, long regarded as the
best naval base on the Pacific Coast.
The correspondence submitted to the
senate in April and May by President
Taft and Secretary Of State Knox in
dictated that the United States had nc
intimation that Japan, az governs
ment, was behind the attempted pur-
chase or that it intended to make use
Of the land as military or naval base.
1t is understood that the subcommit-
tee headed by Senator Lodge has
found no evidence Of the connection Of
the Japanese government with the at
tempted purchase of the big tract OF
land in Mexico.
To make the position Of the United
States clear, however, the majority Of
the committee will propose that con-
gress declare that this nation will not
permit, without protest, the estab-
lishment of any foreign power at q
point where it could threaten or en-
danger the safety of the United
States.
| The subcommittee consists Of Sena-
tors Lodge, Root. Sutherland, Rayner
and Hitchcock.

Emergency Appropriation Temporar-

Emergency Appropriation Temporar-
lily Provided in Resolution.
u Washington, D. C.-Temporary re-
lief for the bankruptcy ia which the
government found itself recently was
granted ~ congress through the pas
sage Of an emergency appropriation
resolution which was sent at once to
the president. It carries forward the
appropriations as they existed in June
and July for another "half month. "
By August Is it is expected the an
nual appropriation bills will have been
passed.
An attack was made on the emer-
pency measure in the senate on the
ground that it provided no funds to
meet the increase in pensions recently
authorized. The emergency appropri-
alton is for necessary expenses OF
government" and for "the payment Of
pensions. J"
In neither instance, however, does
it provide for anything further than
the estimates as the they existed in
June. a
Senator William Alden Smith, of
Michigan, charged that congress was
excepting the old soldiers out of their
pay" by this means of supplying
money for the government.
Mr.. McCumber presented resolu-
ton to meet the pensions emergency.
This resolution will be called up fol
action Immediately. It authorizes
the appropriation Of 10000, 900, OF
as much of that amount as is Ineces-
sary to meet pension claims that may
"be due and payable on or before Au-
gust 4"
Charges were made by members Of
each party that the other was respon-
sible for delaying the appropriation
bills. *

Prune Prospects Poor.

Vancouver The prune trees Of
Clark county are shedding heavily, &C.
cording to A. A.. Gutenberg, horticul-
tural inspector, who is judging by the
outlook in and around Vancouver.
Mr.. Gutenberg, who is inspector fol
the counties of Clark, Klickitat and
Skamania, believes, however, that the
same condition exists to great ex-
tent in all three.
That the crop this year will be light
all over this SEXTON is estimated by
the packing companies, who expect
not more than 200 cars, or one-fourth
of the normal output from the entire
Northwest. Mr.. Gutenberg will leave
soon for Klickitat county, where he
will inspect fruit conditions there.

Grain Bags Take Sharp Advanced and

Colfax Colfax implement dealers
say that business is much better this
year than last, and the demand for
harvest machinery and supplies shows
marked increase over 1911.
Combined machines are popular
here. There have been nine combined
machines sold in the immediate vicin-
ity Of Colfax, the greatest number in
the history Of the town. One local
company has sold five combines, while
two manufacturing companies have
each sold two machines here.
Binders lead other kinds Of cutting
machinery sold here, the sales by the
three firms here being Is binders and
10 headers. A great many mowers
and much hay machinery has beer
sold by the dealers this season.
/. J. Davis, Of the Farmers Imple
ment company. said: "Our business
has been larger and better since Apri
1, than during 1911. Our sales since
April are more than our total sales fol
last year. = A
All dealers agree that business il
better than last year in every line o.
machinery and implements.
Much uneasiness is felt over th,
Irvine situation. The Internationa
Harvester company, which largely
controls the trade Of the West, has can
celed orders for 20 cars Of binding
Irvine because the Irvine can not be Sc
cured to fill the orders. Almost every
town in the Palouse country has hat
its orders cut down from q carload t.
half car. The Harvester trust ha
bought the entire output of the Port
land Cordage company's plant at Port
land, but is still unable to supply th,
demand. Many dealers in the Palous,
country are entirely out Of Irvine ant
farmers face q serious proposition
An advance of two cents pound il
Irvine prices is predicted by loca
dealers.
Grain bags have taken another
sharp advance and are now quoted a
IL cents, the highest price ever pait
in the Palouse country. Some farm
ers' union members contracted in Feb
ruary and got their grain bags for
cents.

100 CARS or FRUIT.

Bring Good Prices.

Bring Good Prices.
Wenatchee - Fruit shipments are
continuing heavy and ten carloads
were shipped out of this city Friday,
making q total for the season SO far of
100 carloads. These shipments have
been the early fruits. apricots and
peaches, with few carloads Of early
apples.
The apricot crop was excellent this
season and the price remained at a
profitable figure for the growers all
during the season. The early peaches
thus far have not Jared so we'll, as all
markets have been loaded and the
price has been low.
It is expected that with the later
peaches the price will advance consid-
erably but the heavy crop all over the
country will be an important factor in
keeping the price down.
The outlook for the apple crop is
fine and the crop will be one of the
best turned out in this valley for sew
eral years, both in quality and guam
tity.

BUMPER CROP CERTAIN.
Yield Of Oregon to Exceed All Form.

Portland Crop prospects in every
section of Oregon and in every line Of
agriculture were never better than
they are this year. It has been .
bumper season all around, and it
means prosperity for the farmer and
everyone directly concerned with the
farmers welfare; and that includes
almost everybody in the state.
If there is any adverse factor in the
situation, it is the chance that some
of the crops may be so large they will
have to sell for less money than in
other years.
The surplus to be marketed, how
ever, is so great that the total income
will be enormous.
The wheat crop this year will net
the farmers of Oregon about $l2,bOo,.
900. The oats crop will bring in halt
as much money as the wheat crop, and
the barley crop will produce million
The other grains and hay will also 400
