Constantine comes to the throne Of
Greece at the very height of his pop
ularity. which he has won on the
field of battle in Macedonia and which
the capture of Janina raised to the

HURTS
SHEEP men

Spring is not yet. To the contrary
winter seems to be strong on the
come back" stunt and today sent a
sieet and snow storm which has held
the county in its grasp all day. While
no great damage is anticipated in the
farming sections from the storm, the
sheepmen will doubtless suffer a great
deal inasmuch as they are all in the
midst of lambing.
The snow began falling here in PEN
dleton early this morning and has
continued throughout the day. 1t has
been very wet and not a great deal
has remained on the ground. How
ever, the fall has been much greater
in outlying communities. According
to Will Wyrick, Cayuse farmer, there
was six inches of snow on the ground
there at noon and it was still coming
down hard. A heavy fall is reported
in the mountains At Helix, Athena
and Adams the storm has been more
severe than at Pendelton, according
to reports.
More unfavorable weather for the
sheepmen could not have arrived at
this time for the lambing season is at
its height. The snow and chilling
winds will undoubtedly cause a great
mortality among the newborn lambs
unless adequate shelter has been pro-
vided.
Local farmers are not at all happy
over the change in the weather. de-
spite the fact that there is little dan
ger to their crops already in. The
snow while 1t is on the ground. will
delay work and, as 1t is thoroughly
soaking the ground, 1t will be some
time before seeding can be continued.
The weather has not been a sur
prise to many, they having expected
a change owing to the nearness of
the equinox.
