1t will be interesting TO note the
sort Of a harvest Umatilla county will
get as a result Of the unusual con-
ditions with reference to rainfall this
season. 50 far this season there has
been 10 inches Of rainfall in Pendle-
ton and this is more moisture than
We received during other years Of the
past
However three-fourths Of the rain
fall this season came prior to the
first Of January and the precipitation
since the first Of the year has been
considerably below the normal. What
effect will this have upon the har-
vest? It would appear that such con-
ditlons should assure an abundant
yield for the fall seeded wheat though
the spring sown wheat may be light.
Yet the results may prove that the
moisture which fell last November
remained in the ground and was BEN
eficial 20 the spring seeded grain also.
Then again It is not too late for
heavy rains this spring. At times In
the past we have had the heaviest
rains Of the season in May. The big
flood OF 1906 followed three days of
incessant rain which fell during the
last three days Of May.
Taking his work year after year the
rainman treats Umatilla county very
well although at times his ways are

Who said it would not rain?
WATER RIGHTS ARE SAFE.
Editor East Oregonian,
Penlletnn. Oragnn..

May 2, 1911.
Editor East Oregonian,
Pendleton, Oregon,
Dear Sir. I notice in the Oregon
Journal Of Saturday, April 29th. on
the front page, the following: state
Buys suit With Water Title. Has to
Spend Money Now to Defend Site
Bowerman Arranged For"
The article is dated salem, April
2gth, and the party who wrote that
had other reasons for writing it be-
sides reporting the news. Had this
been their object, they would have
told the truth which is that all the
water rights on the Umatilla river
and its tributaries, have been con-
tested by the government. The state
Of Oregon is no worse off than about
goo individual water users. We all
have 10 appear before the State Board
of Water Commissioners and show
what our rights are, and have them
properly adjusted to the end that we
may all know what our rights are,
and the government will also have
their rights established. It appears to
me Jhat the party who wrote that
article, either did not know what he
was writing about or wanted to hand
The ex-governor left handed compli-
ment. I do not think that the fact
that the government wanted its wa
ter rights fully adjusted, should be
charged against Jay Bowerman. The
state nor any other water users are
IN any danger Of losing their water
rights.
I might say in conclusion. that 1
did not vote for Mr.. Bowerman as I
differed with him politically, but I
believe in q square deal.
Yours truly,

Just now much they would have to
depend upon, were an enemy actual

England, Germany and France
have made a number of experiments
regarding the efficacy Of the smaller
guns in repelling attacks on an air
enemy, but this will be the first time
in the worlds history hal the three

unique feature of the tests will be
the fact that each vessel taking part
in the experiments will be allowed to

A Famous English Clock.

Wells cathedral contains one Of the
most interesting clocks in the whole
world. 1t was constructed by Peter
Lightfoot, a monk, in 1920 and en-
braces many devices which testify to
the ancient horologists ingenuity.
Several celestial and terrestrial bodies
are incorporated in the interesting
movement and relationship. They in
dicate the hours of the day, the age
Of the moon and the position Of the
planets and the tides. When the clock
strikes the hour two companies Of
horsemen fully armed dash out Of
gateways in opposite directions and
charge vigorously. They strike with
their lances as they pass as many
times as correspond with the number
Of the hour. 4 little distance away,
seated on n high perch, is a quaint

MISS TAFT SETS A FASHION.
"Hslsn Pink" Now Rage For Gowns
and Decorations.

Pink Is once more the rage for even
ing gowns and ballroom decorations in
Washington, and it is all because of
Miss Helen Taft's preference for that
color. "Alice blue" used to be the
popular shade in other days, but now
it is "Helen pink" and at the three
largest cotillions Of the year pink was
used in the decorations of the ball.
rooms, the table decorations and the
favors.
Miss Taft ever since she entered So
ciety has shown marked favor for
pink in its various shades, and nearly
all her gowns are in that color. Many
other society buds have taken the cue
from the presidents daughter, and the
modistes are deluged with orders for
gowns in pink.
The craze has even spread to sta
tionery, while the very latest handker-
chiefs are made Of the palest, softest
pink linen, with a tiny edging of real
lace and the owners initial in one cor
ner.

LONDON AGAIN SEEKS TO
Be WORLDS BIGGEST PORT.
viii Spend $7o,ooo,ooo to Improve the
Thames Channel.

Efforts to restore London to 6rst
place among the ports Of the world
promise to result in wonderful Inn
provements. The London docks long
have been one Of the romantic II SOM
! Der glories of the metropolis. For
merly they were unequaled for size
and tonnage. and the greatest ships
afoat entered them comfortably. Dur
ing the last twenty-five years, how
ever, they have fallen behind in the
march of progress. They have be-
come too small for the largest vessels,
and trade has gone elsewhere. Ham
burg in 1908 passed London with a.
100000 tons to London's 20O00,0O0
tons.
For several years the question has
been seriously considered by leading
British business men. and nine years
ago a royal commission recommended
an outlay of $35,O00.0O0 for improve
ments. Now the London port authorf-
ty, of which Lord Davenport is chair
man. proposes to spend more than
$4,000, -$2OOOO,OOO in the immedi-
ate future and the remainder later.
The port authority is self supporting.
and the changes will involve no in
crease in taxes or cost to the ship
owners. The docks will be vastly en-
larged. and the river will be dredged
to give depth Of thirty feet at low
tide. Thus facilities will be provided
not only-for the biggest ships of today,
but for the largest likely to be built in
thirty years.
Both freight and passenger business
will be developed, and Lord Devon
port expects five years hence to see a
flourishing service of express steamers
between Tilbury and America and
many other parts of the world.
1--WE do not hope to compete with
Liverpool for fast travel" says Lord
Davenport. "but we expect to have
ships Of the Mauretania type carrying
passengers between London and New
York in six days. Then thousands will
decide to take this route rather than
travel by rail to Liverpool to accom-
plish the voyage in four and half
days."
