more than 100000 will be hatched

The croppie will come from the gov

to obtain crappie fry. but were un-

day looking over the project in COM
pany with Engineer Newell. one
meeting has been held with the Wa

another one will be held this evening
at which time the object Of his visit
will be fully discussed, so that he
will be able to report fully upon his
return TO Washington. One OF the
matters brought before him at the
meeting last night was a request from
the city council for permission to use
Hermiston Butte for a reservoir site
for a city water supply. He said the
matter would be brought before the
secretary at an early date. The most
important topic to be discussed and
the direct object of his visit is the
matter of the government construct

point of each forty-acre tract.

Of a better class than usual, and seem
willing to work. The I. w. w. troub-
les was Of brief duration, and since
both city officials and the farmers
themselves took prompt measures to
wipe out the dissension. there has
been nothing heard OF the blue rib
boners.
Altogether, wheat growers are we'll
pleased with the outlook for crops this
year. The yield Is averaging in some
places even better. The quality is No.
nearly everywhere. and the price
seems on the up grade. The combi-
nations pleases the farmers and they
are now planning for as big a crop
as usual Pesslmism has given way
to a feeling Of security, now that
harvest results are actually known,
and there are few who Will have q
kick coming this year.
1t is hard to say just what the
average yield will be this year No
crop has yet gone under 80 bushels
in this valley, but only the best OF
the grain has been threshed. that
which was sowed early. When the
late sown grain is heard from the
yield will probably be cut some. But
there are plenty of fields making 40
and 80 bushels this year so far and
more that give promise of being just
as good.
Il am well satisfied" said one far
mer who has just finished his thresh-
ing. "My grain did not make a rec-
ord yield, but 1t went from 30 to 45
bushels an acre, all No. 1, no smut
and little weeds. The price I believe
will go up, and feel confident we
will have no kick along this line"

mostly barley, at prices around the
dollar mark. Farmers declare the
market has not opened so favorably
before in % years and most of them
are refusing to sell at 81 cents fol
wheat and 81 for barley. Harvest is
now in full swing in Columbia county
and three weeks will see the grain
crop garnered. owing TO the large
quantity Of last years grain still or
