am advised that the house leaders
would not appropriate twenty millions
for reclamation work without the re-
peal, though I did not hear of this
until after adjournment. 1t was ex-

call your attention to the fact that
Representative Ellis was mem her of
the, committee on ways and means of
the house, aud the amendment for the
repeal of section 9 of the reclamation
act was reported to the house by his
committee. He ought to know all
about the reasons of the amendment
and would DOUBTLESS have given the
Osegonian the truth. Oregon has not
received its full share of the amour {
of the reclamation fund, but have no
doubt that the state will be fairly
treated. /, for one, will not insist
upon spending any portion Of the fund
except for the completion, in good
faith, of projects under way. No
new projects SO far as l know, have
been contemplated in the state, and 1
have every reason to believe that the
klamath and Hermiston projects will
be completed if the people themselves
do not Interpose obstacles thereto.

Harvesting the barley crop will
begin in this vicinity next week.
Wheat is ripening fast and by the
time the barley fields are cut. will be
ready for harvest. A number of new
machines have been purchased by
wheat raisers in this section this sea-

machinery on hand to make the har-
vest year a short one. No delay is an
ticipated from bad weather, and from
the number of idle men in the city,

The uMA7ILLA COUNTY CROPS
Cohen's Estimate Is Between 1000, 900
and 1000, 600. Bushels.

The following story of the crops of
Umatilla county appeared in the col
umns of the Portland Journal Satur-
day, and was written py Hyman Fl.
Cohen, market editor of that paper,
who is on tour of the grain regions
in Eastern Oregon:
Umstilla county will produce this
season between $780, 900 and4 900, 900
bushels of wheat. Not only will this
be done, but the quality will be the
best ever sent forth. This alone is
a factor of considerable Importance.
Last year the total wheat output of
Umatilla county was about 3,500,00O
bushels. although some interests were
inclined to figure that the production
was considerably above this.
This years greater output will be
caused by the greater yields in the
western portion of the county where a
year ago only nominal crop was
gathered by most growers and some
failed to harvest at all because of the
very poor showing.
It is safe to estimate that these
light land sections of Umatilla will
cause this county to harvest a greater
crop than year ago-reaching total
increase of fractionally more than
million bushels.
Some of the best sections of Una
tilla county-seotions that were al
ways considered the cream of the
wheat belt of the Pacific northwest
will not produce as great an amount
of wheat per acre as year ago, but
this deficiency will be more than made
up by the harvesting of very liberal
crop in the poor sections of former
years.
For instance, there is every likeli-
hood of good crop in the Pilot Rock
country this harvest. while year
ago many of the fields remained un-
cut. Fields of growing grain in the
Pilot Rock country that would not
yield more than few bushels an acre
last season promise an average of
about 8 an acre this season.
While in some quarters there has
been cry for rains, it is not likely to
aid the wheat output in the least.
Fall wheat would be hurt by down
pour. while the spring crop is ad-
vanced far enough so that showers
coming at this late date would do
practically no good, although no harm
is anticipated from that quarter.
In Umatilla county there is a wide
range of views among grain inter eats
as to the extent of the yields of wheat
this season. Some of the best men
in the country figure as high as 5,000.
600 bushels for the crop because of
the improved showing in the light
land sections. but the general estimate
among grain buyers end among the
larger grain buyers fails to run above
1900, 900 bushels. and it this yield is
shown at the end nf the harvest Una
tilla county will be doing wonders in
the shape of wheat production.

there is no country on earth SO good
as old Oregon. He considers himself
fortunate in getting out of Alberta
and is gleeful over the fact that he
disposed of his land there. He says
that crops there are almost a total
failure. The drouth has literally
burned up vegetation, and in the
vicinity of Claresholm there are but
few fields of fall sown grain that will
pay to harvest and spring grain is en-
tirely ruined. Dave Cargill, formerly
of Pendleton is back from Alberta and
reports there will be no grain to har
vest In his section. 1t is reported that
DO rain has fallen since July 5, 1909,
in some parts of that country and but
very little snow fell last winter.

BURGLARS At WORK
Enter Mosgroye Mercantile Co. Store
and Select Clothing and Suit Cas-
es-Attempt at McEwen's.

The yeggman has put in his annual
appearance in Athena. Monday night,
by prying open the iron shutters in
the rear of the Mosgrove Mercantile
Co. IS store and prying off the lock,
entrance was effected into the dry
goods department of the store.
Indications warrant the belief that
two persons broke into the store. At
least two suits of clothing were taken.
and they were packed into two of the
best suit-cases in the stock. The rob-
bers were particular and evidently
took plenty of time in making their
selections, tor couple of 40size coats
were discarded and thrown promisou-
ously about, and in their place size 3S
was taken.
Adjourning to the grocery depart
ment, stock of tobacco was laid in
and bottle of grape juice was dis
posed of, the empty bottle being
found on the desk in the office.
There is no way of telling just what
was taken from the store, save that
enumerated above. The stock was
not disarranged and the entrance was
effected without defacing the doors.
Officers have been notified in adjacent
towns and in all probability the store
treakers will be apprehended.
Friday night an effort was made to
break into the McEwen hardware
store. A portion of the corrugated
iron siding in the workshop at the
rear of the main building was cut
away, and a hole large enough to per-
NIT man to crawl through was made.
The hardware people have missed
nothing from the shop, but in all
probability the parties who broke into
the Mosgrove store were the same who
tried the hardware store.
The robbery at the Mosgrove store
has brought about the realization Of
| the need of night watohman, and
Athena business men will probabl!
unite in seeing that one is added to th,
police force. In addition to "shooing
housebreakers away, night watch

Peach prices, according to an east
ern buyer in Walla Walla, will not be
as high this year as had been hoped
by the orohardists, for the east and

to be excellent and the fruit now on
