Crops Damaged By Long Con-
tinued Hot Weather.
100000 FOR THIS COUNTY
Wasoo County Grain Shrivels In Hot
Wave and Spoils Average
Harvest Prospects.

The hot winds of the past few days
have hastened the ripening of wheat
and other cereals in the Inland EN-
pire. In the Palouse the Fall and
Winter grain has come through the
ordeal very we'll, and the harvest will
yield an average of 30 bushels to the
acre. Later sown grain has been
shriveled to some extent by the in
tense heat.
In Sherman and Wasco counties
farmers estimate the loss as high as 80
per cent, though it may be less. Iu
Sherman County some of the wheat is
being cut for hay, but as the price of
hay is good there will not be much
loss.
Wheat harvest in the Eureka Flat
country, Walla Walla County, will
begin next week. Two days Of hot
wind have done great damage TO
wheat in the milk. The loss is esti
mated as high as rs per cent to the
late-sown wheat, In the Washtuona
region harvesting will not begin for
20 days. Hillside Fall and Spring
wheat in Whitman County has felt
the i'll effects of the very warm days.
The hot wave that has prevailed in
the Moro section for the past two
weeks has materially shortened the
very tlatte ring prospect for big
, wheat crop. Reports from farmers
are conflicting, but there can be no
doubt but that all grain is more or
less shriveled and there will not be
over half an average crop. Many are
already cutting their wheat for hay,
but at the present price for hay that
will bring very satisfactory returns.
There has been steady hot wind
for two days in the northern part of
Walla Walla county, and all grain not
| ripened has been damaged from so to
rs per cent. Farmers from Eureka
Flat report that some of the fall wheat
has been damaged in some places
about 20 per cent.
Wheat harvest will begin this week.
Labor is scarce aud it is feared that
some loss may be caused by lack of
sufficient hands to care for the crops
properly.
Washtucna today reports that the
damage to the wheat crop in that
section by the recent hot weather will
average from 15 to 30 per cent. Other
grain has not been damaged quite SO
much, but has suffered from the hot
winds. Very little grain has been
cut and harvesting will not begin
until about the goth.
The Umatilla County crop which
normally amounts to 5000, 900 bush
els has been injured by the hot
weather to the extent that conserva-
tive estimates made by wheat men
place the yield at 1000, 900, bushels,
a shortage of 1000, 600, bushels.
Some sections have been damaged
more than others, the injury done
depending entirely on the stage of
maturity the grain was in at the time
the hot winds struck it. Perhaps tho
best quality of grain this year in the
Inland Empire will be harvested in
the vicinity of Athena and Weston.
although the yield here will be ma
terially cut down, as the result Of the
effects of the usual August wave com
ing during the fore part of July.

one-third fare.
Grand Recorder Newton Clarke
said to an Oregonian reporter:
1T is probable that the session will
be short. The supreme lodge has rec
commended $500 certificate, ard it
is likely that we will adopt be rec
commendation. The election of officers
is about all the business l know of
that will come before the session. Ii
anything else comes up it will be at
the suggestion of delegates whose in-
tentions are unknown to me.
"What about the proposed fiat rate?"
he was asked.
There will be no change in rates,
returned Mr.. Clarke. "Our actuary,
Miles Dawson. of New York, estimates
that we can pay out our present rates.
That is all the order requires. Mr..
Dawson has all the necessary statistics,
and is in position to know. Know
ing that many members of this state
are interested, asked Mr.. Dawson,
When at Montreal, about our situ-
alton in particular, and received that
answer. !"
The Degree of Houor grand lodge
will meet in the Selling Hirsch build
ing on the same day. Several meas
ures recommended by the supreme
lodge at Montreal will come under
consideration. Sarah HI. Fastabend,
the grand chief of honor, recommends
the open-door policy, biennial sessions,
reduction of salaries, and general
policy of economy.

sl0o,0O0,OOO FOR IRRIGATION
Chairman Gwinn Saws Such Sum Will
Be Needed for the West

One hundred million dollars for
irrigation will be the slogan for the
fourteenth annual convention of the
National Irrigation congress, which
meets at Boise, Idaho, from Septem Der
Sd to 8, said Monte B. Gwinn, chair
man of the executive committee of the
congress to the Telegram.
Mr.. Gwinn was most enthusiastic
cn the prospects and benefits of irri-
cation, what it has already done and
what it will do. He discussed the
situation and although he admitted
that the work already done and now
in progress amounts to nearly $40,-
100000. he emphasized the necessity
of spending at least twice or three
times that amount to accomplish the
work in sight.
"Our chief aim at the next con-
gress'' said Mr.. Quinn, "will be to
get the governments support and ap-
preparation of funds to push the work.
1t is strictly business proposition
and it is the opinion of the entire con-
gress that the government should ap,
propriate money for the project, the
same as it does for the Panama canal.
There are millions of acres ont here
in the west, now practically worthless,
which could be made into the best
farming land by reclamation, and
the government ought to aid the con-
gress with the funds to accomplish the
necessary result.
NEARLY all the western senators and
representatives, Continued Mr.. Gwinn,
"have been approached on the subject
and have promised their hearty sup
port. Between 1900 and 1000 dele
gates will attend our coming conven-
tion and we expect to achieve great
deal. A party of congressman and
senators will attend the convention
and both the state of Idaho and the
city of Boise are making elaborate
preparations for the reception of the
delegates and guests. While there,
all the delegates will visit the Mime
doka Falls and see for themselves the
gigantic enterprise which transformed
an immense arid land into a prosper
GUS and rich country.
