Since America is the land of the shirt

will not do to neglect them. A national

all winter. He expects to put from six to
eight hundred thousand feet per month
in the swim.
Thos. Larewood's mother and two
sisters arrived in Hood River last Sat

winter. They came from Illinois.
w. II. Edick went out OF the sheep
business with rush last Sunday. Some
dogs got among his sheep and
killed three out OF four. Any one having
such dogs had better take care of them
hereafter.
Most Of the sheep herders have start
ed tor the bunch grass country, the rain
having driven them out. Our neighbors
over on Neal creek had better be on the
look out.
Arthur Disbrow's brother from Iowa
arrived at Mt. Hood, with his wife,
last week. Not having seen his brother
for over l5 years, Arthur was Jump
ing sideways when last seen.
Joseph Dimmick got home from Wal
la Walla last Friday, where he has been
harvesting and threshing. Joe is glad
to get back to old Hood again.
Douglas Riggs went to The Dalles last
Friday to attend the carnival. Nothing
like being on time.

high pressure areas and these disturb
ances are carried eastward by the general
movement of the upper atmosphere.
The general movement OF the upper at
mosphere is controlled by the differences
in the temperature between the poles
and the equator When these differen-
ces, as in the winter time, are great, the
upper currents move rapidly, but when
they are slight, as is the case during the
midsummer season, they move slowly,
sometimes become stagnant. Last July
the upper air currents were sluggish and
the high and low areas drifted very slow
ly, their inaction was not in any way
caused by the moisture element they
contained.
Severe droughts and heat waves have
occurred in the past, long before irriga-
ton was practiced and they may be ex-
pected in the future as longas the diff
ference between the temperatures at the
poles and the equator decreases, in the
summer time, as it now does, and no
efforts ON the part tof man can change this

A Mistaken Theory.

f. B. Dunn, formerly an off Ger
in the U. s. Weather Bureau, in a re-
cent article in the Washington Star, adj
vances the rather startling theory that
the severe hot spell which occurred in
the Middle West last July was due to
the increased area now under irrigation
along the east slope OF the Rocky noun
tains. Mr.. Dunn puts the blame for the
burning up OF the corn crop on the
shoulders of the irrigation COM
panies and the small farmers who are
trying TO make the desert bring forth
sustenance for man and beast, and he
argues that the farmer who raises small
crops by means of irrigation must be
suppressed that the farmer who raises
large crops without irrigation may pros
per,
He says that low pressure, trough
shaped, areas occupy this semi-arid re-
gion and that the moisture evaporated
from the soil is commensurate for their
existence but insufficient to propel them
onward, and warm air is thus drawn
from the South which for days at time
flows over the corn belt and withers the
crops.
This theory is illogical and is con-
demned by theentire scientific staff oft
Weather Bureau. II is, in fact, unwOr-
thy Of serious consideration and its pub
lication is calculated to injure the cause
OF irrigation not only in Eastern Oregon
but in all Of the rapidly growing states in
the sub-arid West.
