STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

M. ]. Costello, of the Great North
ern, estimates his company will han
die 5000 cars of fruit in Washington
this season, mainly apples and pears.
Frank Hoisington, who farms ex-
tensively on lower Big Potlatch
ridge, south of Juliaetta, Idaho, had
20 acres of Red Russian wheat that
yielded this season an average of
&c 13 bushels the acre. Mr.. Holsing-
ton has 10 acres of wheat which he
thinks will average 60 bushels the
acre.
Harry Ochs, big wheat grower in
the Harrington district and president
of the First National bank Of Har-
rington, reports that wheat in that
section is running from 40 to 60
bushels to the acre. H. o. Jones,
cashier of the Harrington State bank,
set the average at 35 or 40 bushels.
He says there is very little smut.

Corn Show at Interstate Fair.

The enormity of the corn crop Of
the United States is no more sur
prising than the supported statement
of corn growers that the Inland EN-
pire is coming into prominence as a
corn section. There is a much larger
acreage in corn this year in this Sec
ton than ever before, and the grow
ers are reporting excellent condi-
tions and promise of a fine crop.
While corn has been successfully
raised for several years in the North
west, it has only recently been given
the prominence it deserves, and this
year it is to be featured in the grain
department of the Spokane Interstate
Fair and Live Stock show during the
week of September 10, and the win
ming exhibits will be taken free to
the First National Corn show at St.
Paul, December l to 81.
The fair management has provided
large number of prizes for corn,
including two for the best general
displays of SIS and $40, respectively,
and also for the best bushel, the
best 10 ears of several varieties, the
best single ear and a sweepstake for
the best 10 ears shown, the sweep
stake carrying medal. Prizes are
also offered for the stalks Of corn
with roots and ears attached, and
also for sweet corn and pop corn.

Rumania Expected to Join QuadrupIs
Entente In a Short Time.

London, Aug. 23.-Italy's declaration
Of war against Turkey is expected to
have an almost immediate effect on
the Balkan states, which still are de.
batting which side they will take in
the conflict.
The relations between Italy and Ru.
mania for years have been very init
mate, and the opinion is expressed
here that it is probable, especially in
view of the threatening attitude OF
the Germanic powers toward Rumania
because of her refusal to allow am
munition to pass through her terri
tory, that now Italy has broken rela
tions with Turkey Rumania will join
the quadruple entente
Bulgaria is still waiting for the re-
ply of Serbia to the suggestions OF
the entente ministers that Serbia cede
Macedonia to Bulgaria, while Greece
Is likely to declare her future policy
when the chamber meets this week
The opinion is expressed in diplomatic
circles here that it is significant that
M. Venizelos, who always has been
friendly to the entente, has decided tc
take charge, in addition to the Gre
clan premiership, of the office of min
lister of foreign affairs.
With the inclusion of Italy among
Turkeys opponents in the war, and
the formers well-known desire fol
expansion in the near east, the Balkan
states may consider that the time is
ripe for them to enter the field and
secure for themselves share of what
falls to the victorious group. 1t is fol
them to decide which side is likely tc
win

JAPAN TO HELP THE RUSSIANS.
War Munitions to Be Sent to Former
Enemy, Now Her Ally.

Tokio.-"Premier Okuma states that
Japan has decided to give greater as
sistance to Russia to prosecute the
war. He could not discuss details,
but allowed it to be understood that
this assistance would take the form Of
the forwarding of greater supplies Of
munitions.
Count Okuma emphasizes the i'm
practicability and impossibility Of dis
patching troops to Europe.
Japan wants Europe to recognize
Japans supremacy in the orient" he
said.
japan has decided to employ all
available governmental and private re.
sources for increasing the output of
munitions for the allies, particularly
Russia.
The Japanese government believes
the time has arrived for more con-
certed action against the enemies of
Japan and her allies.

BRYAN BLAMEs THE TRAVELLERS
Questions Whether Few Should Drag
Country Into War.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-William ]. Bryan,
former secretary of state, tonight
gave out signed statement in part
as follows:
Il have read the editorial opinions
concerning the sinking of the Arabic,
as those opinions were reproduced in
Saturday mornings papers, but they
seem to me to avoid the most impor-
tant question. The real question is
not whether American citizens have,
under international law, a right to
travel through the danger zone on the
ships of belligerent nations. That is
admitted.
"The question jus, now is whether
an American citizen should put his
convenience, or even his rights, above
his nations welfare. If American cit
liens refuse to consider their own
safety or the safety of the nation,
then second question arises, namely,
whether the government should per-
NIT few persons to drag the country
into this unparalleled war"

INDUSTRY AND IMPROVEMENT

1t is stated that parties interested
in the Grand hotel at Walla Walla
are back of movement to erect a
new hotel there, to be six stories and
cost $150,000. The name of the COM
pany is to be the New Grand Hotel
company.
The new drainage ditch which
drains over 450 acres of land north
of Richland, Wash, was completed
this week by the Wright Construction
company. The cost Of construction
was close to $34 900 and the time taken
for the work was about four months.
This ditch will make possible the
cultivation Of valuable land.
The Potlatch Telephone company
has bought the phones and equipment
of the Independent Utilities Tele-
phone company at Kendrick, Idaho,
and the phones on the latter line
will be connected with the Potlatch
company's line and the exchange of
the Independent company will be dis
continued. The Moscow Telephone
company has also purchased the
equipment of the Independent COM
pany at Moscow, Troy and Deary.
Thus the companies connected with
the Bell system have taken over all
the holdings Of the Independents in
that territory.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

There is little or no change in bust
ness conditions, although the element
of midsummer dullness continues to
prevail in the various avenues of
production and distribution. There is
lack of snap to demands in the
general branches of trade, which,
while seasonable in itself, is aggra-
waited to some extent by special con-
ditions. Agricultural products are not
moving satisfactorily. Prices for eggs
and butter are lower than the nor
NAL, due partly to increased produc-
ton, and partly to the decline in
consumption. There is practically
nothing doing as yet in the movement
of the big crop Of wheat, now being
secured in the Inland Empire. While
the export season has not yet fairly
opened, and farmers are giving the
largest measure of their attention to
securing the grain, there is also a
pronounced inclination to hold for
higher prices than the prevailing
level.
Provisions.
Butter The butter situation is
holding without any pronounced
change. The supply is still we'll main
tanned, while the general average of
quality Is lower than could be de-
sired. Prices range as heretofore at
26@30c.
Cheese-There is steady move
ment In cheese, with no special fea-
lures, prices holding as for some
time, at 19c for triplets and zoe for
brick.
Eggs-The slump in the egg mar
ket continues, and is partly account
ed for by disappointing demands,
and partly by the fact that the farm
ers held back stock for the recent
advance. deteriorating the quality Of
offerings. The general run of prices
hold at $3.50, but with the cleaning
up of stocks, 1t is probable that
there will be recovery.
Fresh Meats-Trade continues to
hold rather limited. while prices are
as heretofore.
Poultry-The market is without any
special feature except that there has
been q decline of &c on ROSTERS due
to heavy receipts. Trade is still
rather of color.
Lard and Cured Meats-Another
slight reduction is noted on hams
and bacon this week, due to a gen.
eral weakness Of the market. Lard
is still easy, but without further
changed.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-Market IL unchanged for

TAFT'S ADDRESSTO
BAR ASSOCIATION
MEMBERS OF oREGoN.WAsHING.
TON LEGAL FRATERNITY HEAR
PEACE TALK.
BIG MEETING AT PORTLAND
Hears Outline Of Peace Propaganda
Board Of ConciIiation-Suprem
Justice m. r. Gose Chosen Head
of State Organization.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 23.A plan for
promoting permanent peace among ma
tons, outlined by ex-President w. H.
Taft, was the feature today of the
opening session of the Oregon-Wash
ington Bar association.
The cardinal points in the plan as
Mr. Taft outlined it were:
Establishment of league of peace,
consisting Of the principal nations of
four continents.
Establishment of an arbitral court
to decide all questions of judicial
nature arising between nations.
Formation of a commission of con-
Citation to mediate between parties to
controversy and recommend plan of
settlement.
Periodical conferences to agree on
international law principles.
An agreement among all the mem.
bers Of the league that in case any
member should go to war with another
without first appealing to the arbitral
court, all the other members should
unite to defend by force of arms the
member attacked.
Following Mr.. Taft's speech, the an
nual addresses of Frank Reeves, pres
ident of the Washington association,
and A. S. Bennett, president of the
Oregon association, were delivered,
while Mr.. Taft hurried away to catch
train for San Francisco.
Their Election.
At the annual election of the Wash
ington Bar association, held separate
ly today, officers were elected for the
ensuing year. The Oregon Bar asso-
citation was invited to meet in joint
convention with the Washington asso-
citation during the summer of 1917.
Officers elected were: Judge M. f.
Gose, Pomeroy, president; G. Will
Shaffer, Olympia, secretary; Arthur
Remington, Olympia, treasurer.
In inviting the Oregon association to
meet with them in 1917, it was ex-
planned that next year the two bodies
would meet separately in order to
clean off their respective business
states.

MINING NEWS

The power and compressor plants,
timber framing s h eds and boiler
house at the Rex mine, better known
as the Sixteen-to-One, were COM
pletely destroyed by fire last week.
The loss is about $4,000, with no
insurance.
All previous earning records Of
mining companies operating in the
Occur d'Alenes have been eclipsed by
the Interstate Callahan C m p y +,
which owns and operates the Con-
solidated Interstate Callahan mines,
in the Nine Mile district. The net
profit for the quarter ended June 80,
1915, was $1,126,114, according to the
report of John A. Percival, secretary
treasurer.
The feature of the last week in the
mining world was the unexpected
break in metal prices. Copper fell
from 1Sc to 16% cents pound, lead
from to 4.45 cents a pound, silver
from 47ss to 47% cents an ounce and
spelter from IA to 10 cents a pound.
That there really is no cause for a
serious decline in mining issues be-
cause of the metal situation is con-
coded by men closely in touch with
conditions.
Eugene r. Day, managing owner of
the Hercules mine, and James Muir
ply, superintendent of the property,
who have been in New York for
some time comforting with officials
of the American Smelling & Refining
company relative to a renewal of the
Hercules ore smelling contract, it is
said, returned to Wallace, Idaho, last
week, but so far as can be learned
there is no change in the situation.
Recent reports that compromise
had been effected, and that a new
contract, based on a freight and
treatment rate Of SIC the ton and a
settlement of 90 per cent of the New
York price for 90 per cent of the
lead of the Hercules ore, had been
agreed upon, generally are discred-
tied, and the belief still prevails that
the Hercules and allied interests will
convert the Northport smelter into a
lead treating plant. Reports received
from Wallace state that men had
been sent to Northport to begin pre-
liminary work at the smelter, and
that a ctual reconstruction of the
plant would begin soon.

that the price situation is firming up
for eastern delivery. Cooking apples
hold around 81 in a jobbing way,
while other grades sell up to $l.50.
Movement in apples at Chicago was
heavier and the market showed a
liberal increase and prices went low
er. General receipts consisted main
ly of ordinary stock, lacking in color,
some understood and not ripe. No.
l barrel brought from $3.50 to $3.25.
Other Fruits-Apricots are closing
out at 90c per box. Peaches are a
little easier at 40@50c and pears are
plentiful and jobbing at 75c@$1.25.
In grapes, Concords are easier at
zoe, while Sweetwater still hold at
75c@$1. Huckleberries have eased
off to &c. Lemons are little easier,
fancy offering at s5@5.25 and choice
$4.50@4.75, while oranges are firmer
at $5@$5.25. Cantaloupes are in
abundant supply and quoted at $3.50
Oils per crate, and watermelons are
also easier at INC.
Potatoes The market is over
stocked and unsatisfactory, from the
standpoint of shippers and handlers,
ruling at $1@1.10 per cwt. Sweets
are a little easier and jobbing at 81
per cwt. The potato market was in
fairly good shape at Chicago this
week, with prices ruling somewhat
lower than before. Receipts were
moderate and were taken care of
reasonably active. Bulk stocks were
quotable at 4s@62c, while barrels
brought about $1.6O.
Other Vegetables = The market
holds at about the same level on all
other commodities except tomatoes,
which are little firmer at soc, and
corn, which is down to 71ac per
dozen.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-There has not been much
doing in the wheat trade during the
week, and the market is inclined to
weakness, caused to some extent, no
doubt, to the reported cancellation of
foreign orders and the inclination on
the part Of growers to hold their
stocks, as they seem to be of the
opinion that the price level is not
what it should be. To date there
has been only enough marketed to
meet expenses and current demands.
At the moment reported buying on
the Atlantic seaboard indicates a
slight recovery. Harvesting opera
tions are progressing in satisfac-
tory manner, and reports continue to
be that yields are excellent. AS to
quotations, bluestem is quoted at 92c,
club SOC and red Russian SAC.
Flour The situation still holds
comparatively quiet, but the effort of
outside mills to put their products
on this market at figures slightly I'M
der prevailing price for local f1ours,
has apparently had some effect, as
the quotations on all local fiours was
reduced csc per barrel Thursday
morning, making the figure for pat
ents Sc and seconds $5.75.
Feed-Quotations are at the same
level as last week, with the excep-
ton of feed wheat, which is off so
at $32. The undertone is easy and
spot stock are difficult to secure.
Mill feed and hay are unchanged.

FLOOD MARooNs 5000
Citizens Of Newport Cling to Housetop
After White River levee Breaks.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 23.-Five
thousand people in the town of New
port. Ark, tonight are marooned by
the flood waters of White river. Ac-
cording to telephone message re-
ceived here the populace is in desper-
ate straits. Eight persons are report
ed to have lost their lives. The town
is inundated to depth ranging from
five to IL feet and most Of the popu-
lation has sought refuge in the upper
floors of houses and the court house.
Because of recent heavy rains the riv-
er rose so that all the levees protect
ing the town gave way, letting loose
one of the most disastrous floods in
the history of the community.
