RESUME WORK
Carpenters Will Ask for Employ.
ment Unless Strike is Settled
SPLIT IN THE UNION
is LOOKED FOR UNLESS AGREE
MENT WITH CONTRACTORS
is REACHED AT EARLY
DATE.

From present indications 1t seems
likely that within a few days, if some
sort of an agreement can not be reach
ed between the carpenters and con
tractors, that some, if NOT large part
of the striking union men will leave
the organization and apply to the con-
tractors for work.
The situation is becoming desperate
for many of the men who have famil-
les TO support and they say that unless
settlement of the trouble is made
shortly they will go back to work re-
garless of the orders of the head of
their organization.
A proposition has been submitted to
the strikers which contains several
CLAUSES, among which is one to the ef-
feet That the men will be given their
GA employment providing the contrac-
or has the right to grade his men;
IL ( is to pay them 25, 80 or 35 cents
1er hour as he values their services.
Another is that they may work
eight hours per day il they desire but
that at the end of the week they will
receive pay for just what time they
have put in and not for an entire day
as is the case under the present sys-
tenn
The men must come to work at the
regular time in the morning and In
case they are late they must wait UNI
til the arrival of the next hour be
fore picking up their tools.
Also the contractors reserve the
right 10 hire non-union men in case
they are caught up with work and
have more contracted for than they
| can complete with the available sup
| ply of union men.
| This proposition has been fatty re
/ fused by the heads of the union here
and they declare that the strike will
| be carried out to the end.
In response to the carpenters re
fusal the contractors have written out
of the city for number Of non-unior
men and it is expected that within
| few days there will be large number
4 Of them here to complete the worl
on the buildings as they were left b!
the strikers.
/ It is said that there are severa
union men already at work in tn
upper part of the city on buildings, Of
which they were employed befor
the strike was called, but whether 0
not this is true could not be learned
At any rate it seems probable that
split will occur in the union within
short while the same as that whic
took place among the painters som
time ago.

that he was carrying a quantity OF

when in some manner the powder oil
caps were set off and the entire
quantity was exploded. The body wa!
hurled a considerable distance ant

Tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. the
Pendleton ball team will try conclu-
sions with the "Beetraisers" of La
Grande, unless through the interven-
tion of Mr.. Jupiter Pluvius it should
be necessary to abandon the game.
1t is said that should j. P. have out
the rain flag in the morning the La
Grande boys will remain at home and
attend Sunday school. However, it
is thought that the weather will not
be unfavorable, and that the game
will be pulled off in due form.
A good, hard, interesting game is
looked for with the La Grande nine,
and the local boys are preparing for
such. They are not expecting such
walk-over as they had with the
Weston team in the first game play
ed here, and Manager Cooley and
Captain Strand are both silent as to
the final score: However every ef-
fort will be made to have it satisfac-
tory to Pendleton.
The following will be the lineup of
the local nine tomorrow Knapp. C;

will play third base for La Grande.
George Hartman. Jr., will act as
umpire.
The game with Salt Lake on Tues
day is dependent upon the weather
today and tomorrow at Spokane.
Should it be fair, so that games may
be played both days, the Salt Lake
team will finish their schedule there
tomorrow and will come here Mon
day evening for game with the local
team Tuesday afternoon.

MORROW COUNTY WOOL SALES
Many Growers Are Selling Before
SaleSlays.

This season has shown the most ac-
tive wool market for a number of
years. A prominent woolbuyer stated
to the Gazette this week that prices
generally are higher than they have
been for 25 years.
The activity among the buyers and
the high prices that are being offered
is the cause for the many sales that
have been reported. Many growers
have departed from the usual custom
of waiting for the sales days
About all of the woods between
Lexington and Echo have been sold.

the following lots: Frank Elder. 35,-

MOISTURE STATISTICS.
Different Crops Require Various
Amounts of Rainfall.

Speaking of the amount of moisture
required to produce certain crops the
Inland Farmer of Spokane, says:
The amount of water demanded by
crops under our system of cultivation
is amazingly large. Dent corn used
309.S tons of water (equal to 2.64
inches of rainfalD to produce one
ton of dry matter. Potatoes used
422.7 tons of water (3.73 inches) 4;
oats used 474.4 tons (4.21 inches)
and wheat used 453 tons of water a
matter.
The Importance of utilizing to the
greatest possible extent all the rain
fall is shown by the crop of wheat
which could be produced if all the
moisture were used instead of being
allowed to evaporate from the ground
or drain away, either by surface or
under drainage. We shall use the ra-
ito of inches of rainfall to every ton
of dry matter produced and the ratio
of one ton of grain to 1.5 tons of
straw. Forty bushels of wheat per
acre would mean 1.2 tons of grain and
is tons of straw, or a total of tons
of dry matter. Since one ton requires
inches of precipitation, three tons
would require but (4X3) IL inches OF
rainfall. Nearly every part of the
United States has a greater rainfall
than IL inches. What then, is the
reason we do not get larger crops ?
Simply because the water is allowed
to evaporate or drain off There are
very few localities where the dis
tribution of rainfall in time and
amount is such as to permit fertile
soils to produce the largest crops they
are capable of bearing, and this be-
ing true, those soils which are able to
store the largest quantities of rain in
an available condition are likely to
be the most productive and most
profitable. So we see that the water
holding capacity of a soil is an i'm
portant factor in determining Its
value.

Wheat comes next in line of impor-

and we'll formed, commanding the ligh-
est market price In previous years
the demand has been greater than the
supply. To prevent a repetition of this
state of affairs, great deal of new
land has been put under cultivation
this spring and planted to wheat. More
wheat will be grown this year than
ever in the history of the valley. The
Douglas County Roller Mills, operated
near Gardnerville, consume most OF
the wheat grown, paying the prevailing
prices. The best of -four and other mill
products is made here, supplying the
demand of Douglas County, Ormsby
County, A1rora, Bodie and other mining
districts in the vicinity. Nearly enough
wheat and corn is grown by the neigh
boring farmers to furnish the amount
required for use in the mill. Oats, bar
ley, rye, corn, potatoes, onions. beets
apples pears, plums, peaches and small
fruits and vegetables are raised most
successfully. Potatoes and aples from
this valley are particularly sought after
in Eastern markets. When. shipped be-
yond the Pacific Coast they bring a
higher price, after deducting all trans
portation charges, than is ever paid at

dealers buy Douglas County potatoes

double the rate charged for the
choicest California fruits, which proves
the superiority of fruits grown in Ne
