Report On
Winter Wheat
Idaho Shows Greater Ga n Than
Either Oregon or Washington =
Crop Declared Nearly Perfect.

The condition of the winter wheat
crop at Pacific northwest points is
the best known at this period of the
Iyear. Two hundred and sixteen grain
dealers, millers and farmers report
ing to the Portland Journal under
date of April 1, gave the c. ndition of
the winter wheat planting at an un-
usually strong figure.
Compilation of the reports Indicates
that on April l, the condition CT Wiz
ter wheat in Oregon was 1O9 Per
cent, Idaho 1O9 per cent and Washing
ton 1OS per cent. The crop in Ore
gon is and has been so near perfect
during the LIST few months that it
could scarcely make much of an
improvement. During the north the
reports indicate that the condition
in the state advanced from los to
100 per cent.
Both Idaho and Washington win
ter wheat made greater gairs during
the month than did the Oregon plant
ing. The winter wheat crop in Ida
no made a sheer gain of three points
during the month while Washington
made gain Of two points.
There never was a prospect for
wheat crop 50 uniformly good as is in
dicated by the extensive reports re-
ceived by the Journal from its pr
vate grain correspondents. The ex-
ceedingly favorable outlcck for win
ter planting is only slightly better
than for the spr'rg crop and only
perhaps half Of the estimated acre
age Of the latter is as yet in the
ground.
Reports Indicate a condition Of l0l
per cent for spring wheat in Wash
irgton ard Idaho and 102 per cent
in Oregon.

brothers, We commend them to Him
who measures the destinies of men
and doeth all things well.
Be it further resolved, That they
have lost a kind and affectionate hus-
band, a loingv father and worthy
brother while Odd Fellowship has
lost one ever ready to turn the at
tentive ear to the plea of brother,

Payette Wins
From Emmett
Emmett Easy Victims for Payette
Greyhounds.
Payette

Sunday afternoon, at the local di-
amond, the Payette base ball team
met and defeated the Emmett team
il very easy game, the score being
II to in favor of Payette.
From the first to the Last inning
the local team had easy work. Wells,
the Emmett pitcher had poor con
troll and was badly hit by the Pay
cite sluggers. He walked eight mon
and struck out six The Emmett
fielding was rather Indifferent and
clearly showed the lack of practice
Carter, the Emmett catcher succeed
ed in landing a three bagger but died
on third. Emmett only got four
safe hits while Payette got nineteen.
Payette had no chance Of showing
what they were really CAPABLE of do
ing, although many quick plays were
made and everyone got two or more
safe hits apiece. In the seventh
ipning Payette executed a cute dou-
bic play, the only double during the
game. During the past week Pay
cite has picked up three new men,
Arnspiger, catcher; Hall, short stop,
and Woodward, pitcher. These men
all worked out pretty good and the
indications are that We will have
much better team than last year.
The boys have all been doing tard
practice during the last week AID
are going to have scme rather hard
games to play. 1t is rumore1 that
Vale and Ontario are intending pay
ing their men salar es and will natu-
rally be able to get good men.
