A big dust storm visited this
section last Saturday evening and
covered everything with a coating
Of dirt. The wind must have
swept up the dust from the Walla
Walla or Umatilla country and
carried it in clouds toward the east.
The dust was so thick here that a.
person could not see over half
mile distant and the air did not
become clear for about day.
Quite number of farmers on
the west side of the prairie COM
nenced heading this week and in
a few days more headers will be
running all over the prairie. The
grain this year is very heavy and
much work will be necessary toI
take care of it. Harvest hands 50
FAR are pretty scarce and il is feared
many headers will have 10 run
short handed unless men come
n from the lower country.
