I3-YEAR-OLD BOY SENT
TO THE REFORM SCHOOL
Paul SIocum Sentenced to Chehalis.
Would not Attend School and Spent
His Time in Railroad Yards

Last Saturday Paul Slocum. 49,
year old boy of tlis city, was SEN
tenoed to the state reform school at
Chehalis and today he was taken there
by a guard of the school.
According to superintendent of
Schools Riste who appeared as tue
complaining witness against the boy,
he has refused to go 60 school but In
stead has spent his time stealing rides
on the switch engine and playing about
the railroad yards. His mother, Mrs.
ID. AZ. Slocum resides in this city but
has been unable to do anything with
Paul. 40 she states. "He is not verv
bad boy-not yet," said Deputy Sner-
if Evans today. 1.-The principal
trouble seems to be that the boy has a
mania for engines. He wants to be an
engineer and has been riding on the
switch engine every opportunity ne
has had. 1t is not altogether bis fault
either. for have been told that he
has been encouraged in this by the rail
roadnen. 1t seems tor bad that he
must go TO the reform school, but

the best thing that could be done for

inent ranchers of Orondo, who rogeuh.
er with several of his neighbors has
installed private irrigation system

calling on friends and attending to
business matters. Mr.. Swartwood
stutes that at an expense not to ex-
ceed $50 per acre, he and his neigh
bors have secured a water supply that
will enable them to place water upon
over 800 acres of land.
For several years there has been
system of irrigation near Orondo
which obtained its water supply from
Corbalay canyon, but as the water was
carried in a"V" flume there was
constant and unavoidable leakage
which rendered the supply inadequate
land prevented the ranchers from in
creasing their orchards Of which there
are now about 55 acres in bearing.
This winter Mr.. Swaftwood interested
his neighbors in plan of installing in
the place of the "V" flume, a conduit
of woodpipe such as used in Wenat-
chee for watermains. rhe result was
that company was formed. and the
money raised to secure the necessary
material. An order has been placed
for about three miles OF pipe varying
ia size from 10 inches down to inch
es' for the main conduit. and several
thousand feet for branch lines, to be
used on the different ranches The
water supply will be obtained from
CORDIALLY y cauy on as before aud it is es-
timated that the system will be in
working order by June /.
The members of the company and

ohard are as follows:
Edwin and Tidmarsh, 25 acres r.
| g. Pitcher, 10 acres, II. II. Swat
wood, 90 acres, E. J. Hamis,l 10 acres.
This year it is planned to inrease the
orchard f,ou So acres to over 200

grown in this part of the state and Mr..
Swartwood states that crops Ilpen

WHEAT CROP SHORT
IN THE BIG BEND

Waterville, Aug, S.-That the
wheat crop in the Big Bend country
this season will not Average more than
half as much as the bumper crop of
last year is the opinion expressed by
10. J Johpsrud, a harvesting mach
inc representative sof Spokane, who is
noR travelling through this section.
MIR. Johnsrud says that in the vicinity
of Wilson Creek, Adrian and Epnrata
there are many fields that will not
make more than ten bushels to the
acre. Of course there are some rauch-
es that will yield very much better
than that some even going as high as
thirty-five.
His observations have led him to
believe that the good crops are due
in q large measure to fall seeding in
that part of Douglas county. Between
Ephrata and Warerville the condi-
tions are considerably better and the
difference in the ciops where fall and
spring seeding frequently occurred
side by side was scarcely noticeable.
though most farmers had seeded last
fall.
Many farmers who mad bought ex-
pensive outfits for gathering this sea-
sons crop will have to ask an exten-
sion of their contracts by the implem-
ent houses. Most of che machinery was
purchased about two months ago on
thirty days time. Al that time the
crops seemed 20 be in fine condition and
the loss has been occasioned siace
then ty the extremely hot weather
which hss prevailed uninterruptedly
for the past four weeks.
