GROWING WHEAT IS
UNIFORMLY THRIVING
CROP OUTLOOK FOR WHOLE
COUNTY EXCEPTIONALLY
GOOD.
No Losses Whatever from Freezing
Moisture and Warm Weather Cause
Heavy Growth-Grain of Good
Color,

II is doubtful If ever in the history
OF eastern Oregon has Umatilla coun-
TVS wheat crop shown up to better
advantage at this time of the year.
The large amount of moisture togeth-
er with the fine mild growing wealth
er has had the effect of advancing the
wheat far more than usual for this
period of the year.
A feature of the reports as to the
crop conditions is that the grain
seems to be uniformly good. Accord
ing to men who have been from one
end of the county to the other there
are no bad looking patches. On the
contrary, the grain is of beautiful
color and every field is thriving. In
instances there are volunteer fields
where the wheat is also as flourish
ing as seeded wheat.
During the exceedingly mild wealth
er early in the month there was
some pessimism over the possibility
freeze might follow the mild spell.
Thus far the county has been entire
ly free from such trouble. There has
been no excessive cold to damage the
wheat and with the large amount OF
moisture there seems little danger,
Not a single report has yet reach
ed town showing any frozen grain
One man from the Vansycle country
reported some time ago that he would
have to do some reseeding. Howeve,
his grain had rotted.
What the future will bring Is en-.
tirely matter of speculation for the
condition of wheat in January fur
nishes no sure criterion as to what tn,
harvest will be. Yet 1t is certain tina
at this time the outlook for bum
per crop could not well be surpassed

WHATcHAMEAN BY POSTER?

VITA CF1RWEHN BY FO0 En
The gay colored poster that hangs
in the college girls den or in her
brothers bedroom wasn't always the
gaudy thing it is today.
The poster is something of an up
start. Originally it was very plain,
but very useful, and when tackled to
posts in the streets of London many
years ago it was not considered oTna-

by a young California dramatist,
Lawrence Rising, and it was being
hurried for production ahead of
Twin Beds because of some alleged
similarity in plot and action.
VIM. Harris, Jr., producer OF "Twin
Beds" threatened to sue everybody
connected with Apartment 12-K'' in
case the latter bore evidence of be-
ing plagiarism of Twin Beds"
VIM. A. Brady, who had been inter
ested with the Shuberts in the former
farce, withdrew by cable because he
is a friend and business associate of
Miss Mayo and didn't want to get into
any mess. And Apartment 12-K"
was produced.
No announcement of any suit by
Harris or Miss Mayo because of any
alleged similarity between the two
plays has followed. The last thing
the Twin Beds people would want
anybody to think is that they see
any resemblance between the farces.
For, in all kindness to Mr.. Rising,
who made a great hit here with a
bright little one-act play at the Prin-
cess last winter, it must be said that
he has failed sadly to ring the belI'''
again with Apartment l2-K."
The play has to do with the misad-
ventures of a burglar and a drunken
man in the bedroom of a doctors
wife. May Allison looks pretty as the
wife, and Helen Lowell, as her suS-
picious mother-in-law, is the only real
hit of the piece.

He was tied to an iron post bon

As the mob tied the negro to the

SCOUTS GAIN WIDE REPUTATION
Washington Newspaper Describes Ac-
tivltles of Moscow Boy Scouts.

In the Washington Star there an.
peared last week very interesting
article on the Boy Scout movement
entitled Service for Others Works
Wonders for Boy Scouts" After de-
scribing the origin and purpose of
the movement. the article gives de-
scriptions of a few representative
scouting activities in different places.
The most prominent of these accounts
is that of the activities of the Boy
Scouts of Moscow. The account reads
as follows:
THE Moscow Boy Scouts camp last
season was located at the forks of the
Potlatch river, Idaho. The scouts spent
two weeks in camp, dividing the time
between fishing, swimming, hiking to
the neighboring lumber camps, study
ing the logging operations and learn
ing something about nature study,
forestry and engineering. Raising a
giant flag-pole was the first task that
tested their resourcefulness, but after
one unsuccessful attempt the feat was
accomplished.
"A signal tower of fir poles, lashed
together with wire to a height of 80
feet, was built by the smaller boys,
while the stronger lads worked on the
erection of bridge over the Potlatch
river. The bride was of a unique
cantilever type, with span of 40
feet, and was built after sketch made
by the scoutmaster who is a civil en-
gineer These scouts also hiked to the
top of Moscow mountain, an altitude
of 5000 feet, with blankets, canvas and
provisions. They spent two nights on
the summit in spite of Thunderstorm
ers and duststorms.
1.-TWO of them with the scoutmaster
took horseback trip through the in
terror of Idaho, carrying their supplies
ON pack horse. They visited the In
dian reservation, the cowboy country,
the placer mines, forest reserves,
on mountains, river, prairies
and in forests and had glorious time
exploring the country, fishing and
lunting with a camera. They covered
$50 miles,
Moscow Boy Scouts and their
rlends will be gratified to know that
heir reputation has travelled as far
IS the nations capital.

Named His Farm Home.

F. NJ. Gustafson, one of the most
intelligent and prosperous farmers
in this vicinity has just christened
his farm the Sunnyside farm. He got
the name from the fact that on the
slope on which his acres lie, he has
more sunshine than any one else in
the neighborhood, and he wanted to
celebrate the superior cheerfulress of
his location. Mr.. Gustafson says
that having name for his farm is
useful to him in number of ways
He intends to paint it ON large sign
to hang over the gate so that passers-
by will be able to identify it. When
the mail-carrier has substitute there
will be no difficulty for the new man
in finding the Gustafson place. Mr..
butter-wrappers are print
ed with the name of this farm, and
he means to make Sunnyside a prom
inent and valuable trademark for all
that he produces.

CAREER CUT SHORT
EDDIE NORTH
RUP OF PULLMAN STARTS TRAY
ELS IN COAL CAR.
Bound for Kooskia, Youth Checked at
Moscow by the Vigil Eye OF the
Probation OFFICER.

Any wild hopes that eight-year-old
Eddie Northrop may have entertained
of a life of exciting travels were cruel
ly dashed to pieces this morning when
the relentless arm of the law dragged
his grimy and reluctant little self
from the coal car in which he was
speeding away in quest of adventure.
Railroad employees informed the
probation officer of the presence IN
one of their coal cars of something
that looked like q fair-sized lump Of
coal but that was in reality very
human little runaway boy. Mr.. john
son took the dirty and hungry little
chap to the barber shop for genuine
cleaning-up festival, then fed him
good breakfast, and later sent him
back to Pullman whence he had SO
unceremoniously come.
In Judge Morgareide's office Eddie
told about his coming home from
school yesterday and finding the door
locked and no mamma there to let
him in. He got box and crawled
through a window, and after a while
his papa came home and found note
from his mamma saying she had gone |
away. Then Eddie decided he would
do likewise He went down to a rail
road station In Pullman and stayed
around the waiting-room all night
and early this morning he crawled in

CLEVELAND, o., Feb 25.-Those OF
the old residents of East Cleveland
who used to run barefooted with John
d. Rockefeller as a boy are authority
for the statement that the oil king
with all his nine hundred millions of
dollars prizes most highly among his
personal possessions an $S7, 900 paint
ing, THE Disputed Boundary"
This sentiment, it is said was in
degree responsible for Rockefeller's
action in transferring first of all the
painting from his Forest Hill estate
to Pocantico Hills at Tarrytown, N. Y,
some time ago when Cuyahoga coun-
ty tax commissioners were demanding
that he pay about $12,OO0OO0 taxes on
his personal property.
"The Disputed Boundary" it is said,
is typical of the disputed conflicts in
John DIS life for the oil king has
had more law suits and scrapping
bees over line fences and land claims
than any man in the country.
The masterpiece was painted by E.
Nichol, English artist. 1t depicts a
sturdy squire with puckered brows
and quill held between pursed lips, !
listening to the heated arguments OF |
.wo wrathy landowners.
The squire holds rude map in his |
land Legal papers and books are
scattered on the old style table. The
flying between the squab-
