CON'DOX,
Or., Feb.
2.
(Special.)
The
latest estimate of the .amount of gram
olready shipped and that remaining to be
shipped from Condon is 1.30U.000 bushels.
According to this showing. Condon Ls the
largest primary grain shipping point in
the United States and, as far as can be
learned. In the entire world. The point
which has heretofore claimed the honor
of being the largest primary grain shipping point in the world is Ritzvllle. Wash.,
its supremacy being claimed oi the basis
of shipping 1.250,0U) bushels.
From iigures obtained from the best
authorities on the subject. l,100.ono bushels
of wheat and barley have already been
received by the warehouses and mill here.
And to this must be added .the large
amount that is yet scattered over the
country waiting to be hauled to town bethere
fore Spring. It is safe to say that 200.000
remains in Condon's territory

grand total of 1.300.000 bushels to be shipped from Condon alone.
No less remarkable is the estimated output of grain In every section of Gilliam
County, the total of the estimates of the
different stations exceeding the amount
to be shipped from Condon. It must also
he taken into consideration that many
thousands of bushels of grain harvested
along the borders of the county are shipped from nearby railroad points in the
adjoining counties. The total of the number of bushels shipped from these points
added to the amounts shipped from different stations in" Gilliam County places the
enormous output of Gilliam County at
2.7.y.000 bushels.
At least fiXU0 bushels of wheat and
barley are kept for feed and seed, thus
bringing the total amount of grain raised

and these placed end to end would
reach a. distance of Ifi.OSS'i miles, or over
three-fifth- s
of the distance around the
earth. These statements are. no doubt,
a great surprise to the majority of the
people of this section as well as other,
sections of the. state, as very- few people
have given this matter a thought, every
ono being well satisfied with the returns
received.
At the average price of 70 cents per
bushel, as was received this year for
wheat, which made up the greatest share
of the crop output, part of the great
wealth of Gilliam County can be easily
computed. It means that about ?1, 750.000
will bo received and divided among the
farmers of Gilliam County for wheat
alone. To this large amount must be
added the proceeds from other vast resources, such as cattle, horses, sheep,
hogs. etc.. which will prove beyond a
doubt Gilliam's untold wealth.
In speaking of the crop of the coming
season, the farmers are all looking forward to a still better year. Many ranchers are going into wheat raising on a
larger scale than ever before.

Wash., Feb. 2.
( Special.) It Is conceded today that 20
per cent of the hop acreage in the
Yakima Valley will be plowed up this
year, many growers declaring that
they have picked their last hop. Sev.
eral among the most prominent growers, including such men as A. B. Weed.
W. P. Sawyer, Zack Hawkins, Bunnell
Brothers and G. A. Allen will displace
their hop acreage with fruits and hay,
potatoes and onions. The school section, near this city, which has been
noted for its fine hop fields for years,
will be deprived of its last vine this
season.
A few growers familiar with hop flg
uros predict that the yield of the Yakima Valley this year, computed on the
basis of an average crop, will not
exceed 10.000 bales The average prod-iof the valley ls about 26,000 bales.
Last year the yield was only 18,000
bales, but there were many fields that
were not picked, perhaps a fourth of
the acreage.
It may truthfully be said that there
is a strong feeling here against fur,
ther speculation in hops. Other crops
in this district pay such greater profit,
many of them are grown with less
risk and command a much better market throughout the season. The tendency to plow up the hop fields and
devote the land to other crops is naturally growing rapidly, purely as a
business proposition.

They announce their intfntion of carryanti-saloo-
ing the war against the saloon into

Ashland's "dry" vote at the recent city
election has unquestionably given an
impetus to the movement to put the
whole county "dry," and many believe,
that the Prohibitionists have a good
chance of carrying the day. Medford,
heretofore a strong saloon and license

change in sentiment, and the vote there
