MOISTURE IS BADLY NEEDED
Streams of WaIIa Walla Valley Lowest
in Many Years.

Unless fall rains visit the irrigated
sections Of Walla Walla Valley, the
surrounding country will suffer ma
teri8l damage from the water shortage
which the dry season has caused. Ac-
cording TO those who have made an
investigation of the present situation
there was never time In the history
of the valley when the water supply
was so depleted as now.
The late fall of last year prevented
any rains that were of sufficient guam
tity to soak the foothills and water
sheds of the streams which flow
through this valley. When fall did
come it came quickly and instead of
rain, snow fell. This lay on until late
spring melting and running off in
streams " hen the sun shone upon it.
If the season had been wet one as
has been experienced here some years,
there would have been no notice taken
of the fact that the watershed was
practically dry. But since the sum
mer has Eeen hot and dry the short
age is being felt at the present time in
a disagIeeable manner.
Fruit growers and gardeners claim
they are suffering losses every day
through the lack of sufficient water
for irrigating purposes, and unless the
situation is frightened by heavy rain
falls soon there will likely be serious
impairment of the late varieties Of
fruits.

who threshed the grain. His memo
randum book gave the amount at 44l
sacks.
A visit was also made to the Touring
mill at Leland where this grain was
cleaned. The books of Vanpelt q
Siegler, the proprietoIs of the mill.
show that they cleaned S73 bushels OF
wheat for Abraham Adams. Both Nh.
Vanpelt and Mr. Siegler say that Mr..
Adams intently watched the operation
of cleaning. After the grain was
cleaned the millmen proposed that a
m illing test be made of few bushels,
which would be done without any ad-
ditional cost to Mr.. Adams. The
millmen claim that MIR. Adams at once
protested against any such test being
made, declaring himself fully satisfied
with chemical analysis of the grain
made at the Idaho experiment station.
Taking the 873 bushels of cleaned
grain and dividing it by 32, the num-
ber of acres upon which 1t was grown,
the result is obtained Of little more
than 26 bushels to the acre. Those
who wish to check up on this amount
have the basis of 441 sacks of threshed
grain to be divided Ey the 80 acres.
It is interesting to- compare these
figures with the estimate of 30 bushels
to the acre for this years crop made
by Professor Elliott.
Experienced wheat growers in tha t
section have been interested in exam
lining this wheat. Some are reported
to have found no "wax" after chew
ing up mouthfuls of it. Another cur
rent report is that this wheat cracks
badly in threshing.
There is not great demand for
ALASKA" wheat among the leading
farmers of Potlatoh ridge. They dc
not wish to be quoted against it, pre-
ferripg. they say, to let the people
find out for themselves.

SENATOR FULToN'S REASONS.

"There are so reasons" Senator
Fulton says, "why members Of the leg
islature do not have to regard that
Statement No. pledge" But the
only one that he mentions is that
"Oregon is Republican state and
Chamberlaic is a Democrat"
Party. party Republican, Democrat.
Can't Republicans vote for Democrat
or Democrats for Republican, if they
want to, and have their votes counted?
Is it party that elects, that chooses
public servants. or the people?
BY what authority or right or on
what principle are few members of
the legislature not only to forswear
themselves but to disfranchise the
10000 Republicans who pulp lposely, in
telligently and conscientiously voted
for Cham berlain?
II do not believe in Statement No.
~ says Senator Fulton. So he said
before the primaries last spring, and
he knows what happened to him in the
primaries. Cake, who announced that
ne did believe in Statement No. /, was
nominated.
Fulton does not believe in Statement
No. 1, but the people do, Republicans
as we'll as Democrats. On that issue
they rejected Fulton. On that issue
they later rejected Cake, who went
back on Statement No. / after his
nomination. On that issue, largely,
Chamberlain was elected. And in
the same election the Statement No l.
law was adopted by an overwhelming
plurality.
Therefore Senator Fulton's state
inent that he does not believe in State
ment No. is tantamount to saying
that he does not believe in the people;
he does not believe that they should
elect their senator's; he does not believe
that their will expressed at the ballot
box should be observed; be does not
believe that they should rule; be be
lieves that party organization or ma
chine, nay, mere factional machine,
should at its pleasure set aside and
hold for naugbt the peoples recorded
will. A party. faction. factional
toss or leader. assumes t. say that the
peoples choice shall Ee null aud void
unloss they choose to suit him.
To this shape and measure dwindle
Senator Fulton's 30 reasons; but il he
really had so reasons, each 80 times
tetter than this one, all combined
would not weigh one fiftieth part the
reason why Statement No. members
should keep their pledge-the simple,
sufficient reason that not to do SO
would be dishonest. dishonoI able, dis
graceful; would be base betrayal OF a
sacred trust; would properly consign
every man who violated his pledge to
lifelong infamy among his fellow men.

ALASKA WHEAT FAD
Reports of Wonderful Yields Proves
to Be vaporings of Booming
Graft Promoters.

ALASKA" wheat yield reports ap-
parently do not bear investigation.
At tho instigation of promoters who
bad hopes of realizing handsome re-
turns from the sale of this wheat for
seed, press notices have greatly inter-
ested wheat raisers of the Pacific slope.
Phenomenal yields of Alaska have
been reported, but simmeIed down TO
cold fact the yield has not been atove
the average of other varieties of grain,
and experts contend that Alaska wheat
is not suitable for milling purposes.
1t is now thought the new wheat
was being exploited simply to gain
fabulous prices for seed, and that the
fad, which is something on the Rus
sion hedge fence order, will die out
before farmers have been bilked.
At the instigation of the depart
ment of agriculture, Prof. Elliott. of
the Washington State Agricultural
College. has Investigated the so-called
ALASKA" wheat, grown by Abraham
Adams at Juliaetta, Idaho, which was
heralded through the press of the en-
ire country as discovery which
would Ievolutionize wheat growing
in the United States.
Condensed. Prof. Elliott's report
says: Fields of "Alaska" wheat ex-
amined will not run more than 35
bushels to the acre. The highest re-
corded worlds yield is 100 bushels
for any wheat. Twenty five FER cent
of that in Adams fields is not ALAS
ka" wheat, it being badly mixed with
other varieties. The head droops
heavily and will lodge badly. Heads
are not of uniform size. Wheat is
never found growing wild, even in re-
tmote Alaska. In three years "Alaska"
wheat will be but memory.
Further evidence that Alaska wheat
is boomerang is found in the Spokes-
man-Review. That paper sent one of
it's men to Potlatoh ridge, above Kend-
rick Idaho, and the Review man found
that last year Abraham Adams of
Juliaetta rented piece of land from
Mr.. Lange, a prominent farmer, whose
home is between Leland and Cameron.
There were about 36 acres in this piece
of land. About four acres were seeded
to barley, leaving about 32 acres for
the Alaska" wheat.
10 ascertain the amount of wheat
raised on these 80 acres successful
search was made for the thresherman

DRYING Milton Cherries.

Drying cherries instead of canning
them is an experiment being made OK.
tensively this season on account of the
dull market and the heavy loss to
growers because nothing could be done
with the fruit in season. On many of
the trees the fruit still Cilngs, while in
some orchards the late varieties are
just at their best. Growers sold all
the cherries they could and then offer
ed the local cannery more than could
be timed during the season. With
cherries still going to waste growers
tried the experiment of drying the
fruit. and 1t was found feasible.
After the cherries are seeded and spread
out in hot sun the process is simple
and quick, and some varieties have a
flavor quite like rasins when the cul-
ing process is complete.

been acting? Could she have been
deceiving US and pretending that
she did not know it was her dagger
in the dead mans breast?"
Cakes shook his head gravely
"No, absolutely no. When she
came here her manner was natural
but more important than that-the
pupils of her eyes were normal
She was hiding nothing, she had nc
dread or fear Of detectiOn-there
was no such emotion back of all

But later her pupils were enor

Exactly" came the answer
"They dilated slowly to their full
est extent as her nervous system
responded to the sudden knowledge
of the dagger impaired to her. The
pupils responded to surprise ant
then to fear. 1t was all news tC
