About s150 feet of humo ON q hill

big irrigatinq ditch il shut off. As a
result, the crop of two-thlrds Of the
valley, about 400 acres, is without wa

be repaired, which will take at the
least estimate three or four days.
The growers stand 10 lose at least
10000 crates Of berries, worth $4,000,
and Ii the hume cannot be repaired
before Wednesday, the Ioms will be far
greater. The damage 10 the ditch will
not amount to more than $500

BIG WHEAT CROP.
Rain Fell at Right Time for Farmers
of Northwest.

Portland, June 12.-It is estimated
by the traffic department of the o. r.
y N. Co, from reports received
throughout the inland empire. that
the condition of the wheat crop at
tins time is even better than il was
last year at the same period. and that
there is every indication of a hummer
crop of wheat in the grain areas Of
Oregon Washington and Idaho.
In nearly every section of the in
terror country there have been rains
at times when they would do the most
good to the wheat crop. Sherman
county prospects are excellent and
LILLIAN county is in good condition
ne Morrow county crop is generally
favorable, but rain is needed in the
northern portion A late cool sprinp
IS said to have had unfayorable re-.
suits in the valley of the Powder
river, but there will be some grain
and hay In the Grand Ronde valley
the Palouse country and around
Walla Walla conditions are excellent
80 far as heard Central Oregon will
come to the front this year with good
gram crops. The Crook county re-
gion gives favorable indications. and
in higher attitudes where the late
spring has held back crops the hot
summer days are expected to bring
everything forward rapidly from This
date. 1t is believed Oregon will this
year produce one of if not the great
est wheat crop in the history If tae

Americans can go to sleep every

But we must have more ships 1t we

Asked his opinion as to the most
formidable battleship, the admiral
said:
",rhe ship that is to carry the bat
terry that will win a fight must not be
less than $4,000 tons. The 20,000-ton
battleship is not big enough"
Are you still in favor of greater
fleet?" he was asked.

he can he trusted to stand ~;outlv
against the two real enemies nf

who To please one class would un-
dermlne the whole foundation Of
orderly liberty, and against the
man who in the interest of another
class would secure business pros
perity by sacrificing every right of
the working people--Theodore
Roosevelt.
1t is because of his loyalty to
high ideals, because of his broad
sympathies and his rare equipment
in character, ability and expert
ence, because in the difficult fields
OF judicial and administrative
work he has proved his quality by
eminent service, because of his
varied learning, his acquaintance
with affairs. his respect for consti-

pacity intelligently and Justly to

To the Republicans who sup

To the successful candidate offer
my congratulations. Mr.. Johnson

In the national campaign the
tide is surely setting in for Taft.
President Roosevelt's statement
that MIR. Taft can always be
trusted to do little better than
his word" is the aptest statement
of the campaign, and is a verdict
that is being generally accepted.
1t is doubtless true that no man
has ever gone before the people,
aspiring to the high Office of presi-
dent of the United States, who is
so we'll equipped for the office as is
Mr.. Taft. His experience in the
judiciary, in all walks Of life, and
his connection with the war de-
partment, and the conduct of for
eign affairs have eminently fitted
him for the task of occupying the
executive position of this nation,
which be will assume next March
