Idaho Wheat Crop
Is Not Very Heavy
The officials Of the Oregon Short
Line Are Preparing to Move
the Crop In Quick Time

Reports made to the o. s, V. by
travelling freight and station agents
In Idaho are to the effect that the
wheat crop this year will be much
less than last year, although the acre
age is greater. In number of places
the late frosts are blamed for this
shortage of the crop and in other sec
tions the failure Is attributed to i'm
proper irrigation.
Although the number of bushels
will not be equal to that produced In
1915, the railroad officials contem.
plate a demand for more cars within
short time than was required for
the removal of the crops in 1915. The
Oregon Short Line is bringing all OF
the first class box cars IL can com
mand from the Union Pacific system
and other roads to Idaho and Utah
lines in order that the grain crop
may be moved on schedule.
The prospective shortage OF wheat
has caused prices to advance. Az
ready three quarters of the entire
crop has been sold to elevator com
panies for shipment to Europe. The
bulk OF the crop will go through
Portland and then through the Pana-
ma canal to Europe.

At twenty-five Captain Truefltt had

who had started southwark in wild

Truefitt left Miss Renton aboard and
started out on his twenty-mile tramp
along the coast until he reached the
friendly village OF the Eskimos.
Two women and dog came out to
meet him. Their speech, 30 far as
Truefitt could understand II, told of
horrors such as had never come upon
the village before.
Outside the encampment was--a
