BIG. WHEAT CROP
 AND ITS PRICES


 At the height of the war buying excitement wheat almost touched at S17O: and some folks were confident that s2 a bushel would be attained. Today the price is $1.1O. One reason for the recession is set forth in the June crop report lt is the more im- mediate and determinable cause.-the prospect of a large supply. And at the same time there is working in the same direction the more coniectural and remote influence of probable lat CT demand
 The abundance of the American supply is manifested in present promise of 95O.OOO.OOO bushels sur passing last years phenomenal indi- cation at the same date by a round 5O.O0O.OOO That tales of recent in- rayages were overdrawn in tenor and application-as suggested by less ex- citable railroad crop advices-is de- noted by the fact that winter wheat loss in May is now figured at only 17,OOO.0OO bushels. or 25 per cent. In last year between this date and the harvest the wheat crop (winter) "re- covered" rom 6SS.OOO,OO0 to 6S5.OOO- 900 while spring wheat receded from 262.0OO.OOO to 2O6.OOOOOO. a net deter ioration of 190O0,0OO bushels. This season neither tendecy seems apt to be so eXtreme but even were the net recession to total 2OOO0,000 bushels, there would still be harvested the magnificent yield of 9SO,OOO,OO0 bush els.
 Such following the S91,OOO- OOO.OOO of last year-is seen in it's true proportions only by contrasting 1t with the 675.OOO.OOO annual average in the preceding dozen years. in which period only five years touched or ap- preached the 75O,OOO,OOO mark. AL lowing the liberal figure of 6O0.OOO,OOO bushels for a year'es domestic con- supmtion. here is a potential surplus for sale of a third of billion bush els-meaning perhaps as many dollars
 Natures kindness is only in part responsible; the inevitable effect of war prices as an incentive to Ameri- can cultivation of wheat is the main cause. The present indicated yields per acre on the area harvested two seasons ago would promise only 795.- OOOOOO bshels of wheat, instead of 95OOOO.OOO. This summer there are 59.4l7OOO mcres under wheat, as against a harvest area of 5S,541000 last year. 5o1S4.0OO two years ago, and an average of about 47OOOOOO in the five years further preceding.
 In fact. in that five-year period the proportion Of improved farm land in the country devoted to wheat was only 96 per cent, having steadily re- ceded to that proportion from 11 per- cent. in 1S9O Now the wheat fields count for practically 12 per cent. of the countrys total of cultivated acre age The question. as regards his price expectations solely, will largely be whether the farmer has not some what overdone it.
 Other surplus wheat countries are expected to better this year than last year. Some importing countries, while not resorting to the German ex- pedients of cultivating lawns and the like. will still manage to eke out as regards tillage better than seemed likely before the possibilities of re- serve labor, were fully developed. And then there is the big chance of the opening of the Dardanelles.-( (Boston News Bureau0

Four Masked Men Kill Sheep
On Eastern Oregon Range

Prineville - Appearance of four
masked men on the ranch of Isadore b.
Meyers, of Tost, on Crooked river,
near Pauline Butte, in Crook county,
and an attack by these men on Mr..
Meyers sheep gives rise to belief
that the old range war between sheep
men and cattlemen has famed forth
with its old time vigor. Mr.. Meyers
reported to the sheriff's office that the
men had entered his range, burned his
sheep camp, stolen the guns and am
munition and then shot and killed at
least 80 head of sheep and wounded
many others.
M. Montgomery, a sheepherder fol
Mr.. Meyers, said he was ordered tt
stand aside while the men fired about
100 shots into the flock. Some of thu
bullets passed dangerously close to th'
herder. Wounded sheep were kille'
by the employees Of the sheep camp.

Salem - State Insurance Commits
sioner Wells issued warning to prop
erty holders Of Portland that unless
they co-operated more extensively with
Fire Marshal Stevens they could not
expect reduction of losses from fire.,
Declaring that the insurance COM
panies were operating at big loss in
Oregon, Mr.. Wells said he believed
they soon would ask permission to in
crease their rates.
"The annual statements filed by the
various fire insurance companies show
that the net premium income for 1914
was SO, 1858, 1890, and the losses were
So, $50, $685." continued Mr.. Wells,
s'This leaves a balance to the insur-
ance companies over losses Of $1,267,-
853.25, and it is estimated that the
average expense for companies to
transact business in this state will av-
erage 40 per cent. The expense OF
doing business is made up by agents
commissions, taxes, license fees, sup
plies, advertising, salaries and clerical
hire.
"The already extremely heavy loss
ratio for 1915 has caused the insur.
ance companies to become nervous, ane

AUSTRA-GfRMANS SMASH RUSSIAN
BATTLE LINE THROUGH GAlQA

London--An imposing Austrian vic
tory in West Galicia, in which the
Russian front Of 60 miles has been cut
to pieces, was reported Tuesday from
Berlin and Vienna.
AS though timed to take place stimuli
taneously, a sweeping advance has
been made in the Russian Baltic pro-
Ivinces by the Germans, Berlin and
Petrograd agreeing that the invasion
on 160-mile front is unchecked.
An attack in West Galicia has been
predicted in Petrograd dispatches as
an offset to Russian efforts farther
east on the Carpathian front. The
direction in which this new and sudden
stroke has been made, evidently in
great force, lies to the south of Rus
sian Poland.
The line along which the Austrian
advance was made runs for about. &c
miles north and south through Galicia
something more than SO miles east oi
Cracow.
Vienna also reports great gains ovel
the Russians who had succeeded il
sweeping over the crest Of the Carpa
THAN range.
The reports announcing a great vic
tory in the Carpathians led to the en-
tire city of Berlin decking itself will
flags. The central telephone stations
the newspaper offices and hotels wer'
besieged by crowds seeking details.
The excitement began when tn
German authorities received orders t
| fly the flags ION account of grea
victory in the Carpathians.
| The official German report says:
SIN the presence Of Austrian com
mander in chief, Field Marshal Arch
duke Frederick, and under the leader
ship of General Won Mackensen, tn
allied troops, after bitter fighting
pierced everywhere and crushed tn
entire Russian front in West Galicis
: the Dunajec river. and the Vistula.'

bonds.
"No levy having been made for that,
specific purpose, the county clearly has
no right to withhold money with which
to pay this interest, +" declared Assist
ant State Treasurer Ryan. "This de-
partment cannot be held responsible
for the mistake, for it needs every
cent for specific appropriations.
eff the county insists upon retain
ing the money the only thing l see to
do is for the state treasurer to demand
interest on it. That probably would
result in the filing of a suit to deter
mine whether the state has to pay.
This office will make demand upor
the county treasurer for the money
which he is Withholding"
The law providing for the building
of the bridge empowered Multnomal
county to raise the money for building
it by issuing bonds, the state to pa
the interest on the bonds. After
4 certain period the county is to start
sinking fund to liquidate the indebted
ness.
State Treasurer Kay said that h
would notify the members OF the Ia
Commission of the action of the Null
nomah county treasurer, and it
probable that Attorney General Brow
will be asked to advise the commissio
regarding what steps it should take t
collect the money.
