HARVEST WILL BE
ABOUT 10 DAYS LATE

Owing TO the late rains and cool
weather. harvest throughout Umatilla
county will be about ten days late, ac-
cording to those best acquainted with
the situation. Although the Fourth of
July is generally followed closely by
the buzz of the combine in the light
er land districts. not machine has
started yet and it is probable that not
one will pull into the grain until the
middle of next week Harvest on
the reservation and in the heavier
land section will probably not COM
mence until the 25th of July and will
not be. fairly under way before the
first of August
Though the past few warm days
have done a great deal toward ripen-
ing the grain, there are still many
green spots in the lower places of the
field. There is a great deal of mois-
ture in the ground and this with the
cool nights prevents the grain from
reaching the harvest stage very ear
ly. To date every indication points to
a bumper crop. One prominent far
mer prophesies that the yield this year
will be the greatest in history, but 9TH
ers. while admitting the prospects are
unusually good. declare much can yet
be done to cause great damage \
few hot winds, they say, would injurt
the crops very materially.
Cutting will commence in the PILOT
Rock section next week. according tc
Z. L. Smith, dealer in combines He
states that he has orders to set ur
and start machines in that section
next week from a number of wheaj
growers. He estimates that there vii
not be many machines running on the
reservation for fifteen days.
AS a usual thing, the harvesting o
the crops on the reservation flats
commences about July 10 and by
the Goth is in full swing.

Otto Houser. well known young man
of this city, and Miss Florence Baker
of Seattle are today lying In the st.
Anthony hospital with serious injur-
les as a result of an automobile ac-
cident which occurred late last even
ing on the Mckay creek grade south
of this city,. That they or other men,
bers of the party were not killed is
a good fortune almost unaccOuntable.
The escape of young Houser was
only by hairs breadth for his Jug
uIar vein was barred by the blow
which laid open the whole left side
of his face and broke his jaw bone.
Had it been severed he would have
bled to death in five minutes, accord
ing to the attending physician.
Miss Baker suffered a fracture of
her left arm between the elbow and
the shoulder and a severe wrench OF
the back. The other members of the
party. Misses Claire Mcdonald and
Vivian Casey. Archie Rugg and John
Hinderman. escaped with only bad
bruises.

catch in the steering gear which made

was climbing the grade beyond the
Alex Hudson ranch on Mckay creek
and when the machine was going at
very moderate rate of speed Sud-
! denly, say members of the party, it
swerved and resisted all of the efforts
/ of the driver to turn it back into the
road Almost before they realized
! their danger it had plunged over the
grade and turned over three times be-
fore it finally came to a stop in the
ditch
Miraculous Escape.
/ Several OF the occupants were
| thrown clear of the car. Some por-
| ton of the machine evidently struck
Houser a raking blow just back of the
jaw. Miss Baker was pinioned by the
! car and when it was lifted from her,
| one arm fell helplessly to her side.
! Miss Casey was saved from injury by
! the fact that young Houser lighted III
such a manner to keep the force of
| the car off her. Rugg fell in such
/ position that had the car struck an
/ inch or two nearer he would have been
/ seriously injured if not killed. The
! escape of Hinderman and Miss Nc
Donald were equally miraculous.
Houser's wound was an ugly one and

of the party, after a hasty examina-

where they were put under anaesthet
les and the injuries attended to.
Injury is Serious.
4 DIR. Parker states that Houser's in
jury is a serious one and difficult to
dress owing to the fact that some OF
the bone was pulveriZed and the It's

was only by the rarest good fortune
that the jugular vein was not severed
The fracture of Miss Bakers arm was

fact that the bones had been mashed.
The injury to her back while not SER

more than $4,000 people have been es-
taDl1shed in homes in the west.
THE mere planning and building of
these structures, however, is but the
beginning of the work. In addition
there are innumerable legal points
and controversies to be settled be-
cause there is not enough water for
every one, and where the water laws
are incomplete, and where each man
is trying to claim and hold all the
water he can, there necessarily arise
lnnumerable claims which must be
settled before the construction can be
success.
The consideration continually in
mind is that of securing to each man
who is actually cultivating the soil a
suitable amount of water at the pro-
per time. The attitude of Secretary
Lane, expressed in many of his public
statements, is that his interest is in
the man who is actually filling the soil
and not in the Spectator, who is try
ing to get the unearned increment of
the value of the land, due to the fact
that the government has made great
investment in irrigation works. This
is not as easy as it seems, as each
man who has obtained piece of land
TO which water has been brought by
ire government is tempted to hold
that land out to use and try to sell it
TO some newcomer, and thus realize
the profit on the land without the la
Dor OF cultivating crops. Thus land
prices become enormously inflated
and one of the problems confronting
the reclamation service. as we'll as
owners OF private systems, IS that Of
getting real farmers to cultivate the
SOIL. To do this these farmers must
be attracted by cheap land and the op-
portunities of making profit them
selves rather than to enrich the ORR

EIGHTY MILLION SPENT
Huge Amount Spent on Reclamation
in West

Washington, Oct. 11.-Through
Frederick H. Newell, chief of the Unit
ed States reclamation service, Uncle
Sam has to date spent more than $780,
100000 in carrying forward reclama-
ton projects in the west This money
has been expended on rs great reser-
vOirs, $3.50 miles Of canals, and other
wise in building up an irrigation sys-
tenn that is the wonder of the world.
''The reclamation SERVICE" said Mr..
Newell, lis the instrument of the fed
eral government in creating homes in
parts of the country that would be
otherwise waste. 1t makes possible
the development of civilization with
in the desert areas where the climate
is favorable for the best development
of plants and animals, but where ma
ture has neglected to supply the one
essential of water The government.
working through the reclamation SER
vice, is supplying this one lack and
thus making available for human use
the wonderful factors of sunlight and
soil which otherwise would go unused
ITO bring about these results it has
already expended upward of $4,000
900 in building large reservoirs in the
mountains to hold the flood waters
and in constructing thousands of
miles of canals to distribute this wa
ter to the dry lands. Some of these
canals must pass through country
where it is necessary to pierce rocky
ridges in order to keep the water on a
gently flowing grade. In some cases
to brings rivers from one valley across
to another tunnels are built under the
mountains. These have thus been
built % miles of tunnels, many of them
large enough to carry whole rivers,
and most of them cement-lined. Some
times the canals must cross depres-
sions, and there great fumes, usually
of iron or concrete, must be construct
ed; or, sometimes, the water is allow
ed to flow down in great pressure
pine under the Intervening valley,
coming up on the other side Bridges
must also be built and almost innum-
cradle other structures to control and
measure the water.
'Thus there have already been built
% reservoirs with an aggregate capa-
city of S.9S3,S10 acre-feet, that is, suf-
ficient water to cover 4,9S3,S10 acres
one foot deep. The service has built
1866 miles of canals, it's excavations
of rock and earth amounting to 95.-
100000 cubic yards; 1t has built 675
miles of road, most of which are in a
country heretofore inaccessible; it has
in operation more than 1900 miles Of
telephone lines: it has also built and
is operating railroads and power
plants. Water is now available

GOODINCS CAMPAIGN STARTED
Charles Elmer Comes to Idaho to Look
After Governors Interests.


Many politicians in Idaho, especial
ly on the Republican side of the house,
will be interested in the following
news item taken from the columns Of
the Herald-Repubican of Salt Lake of
the date of October7:
Charles Elmer, secretary to Frank
r. Gooding when the latter was gov
ernor of Idaho, passed through Salt
Lake last night enroute to Gooding,
Ida, where he is to take up the plan
[ of attack for the former governor
against Senator James H. Brady in the
coming campaign for election to the
United States senate. Former Cover
nor Gooding plans to begin his public
ity campaign about the first of the
coming month and as Elmer has been
his right hand man in the former
fights he has been engaged to lead in
the coming battle
"GOoding was forced out of the SEN
atOrial fight during the meeting of the
1913 session of the Idaho legislature,
when 1t was discovered that he had
not been naturalized citizen of the
United States for the constitutional
period Of nine years. The Idaho sena-
torial fight promises to be the hottest
ever staged In that state. with Good
ing and Brady holding the center of
the STAGE"
Mr.. Elmer has been absent from the
state for some time. but It has been
we'll understood among his friends that
he would return In time to make an
other attempt to pilot former Cover
nor Gooding into the United States
senate.
