particular instance. To see a woman

much more artistic than seeing a fat

Tristan? In spite OF It's weaknesses,
the opera has an exaltation which neither
drama alone nor music alone can give.

there is a world of difference between

Biggest Crowd at
Springs to Spend
the 4th Weekend
BINGHAM ENTERTAINs 1000
PEOPLE WHO SEEK RESORT
FOR OVER SUNDAY.

The largest crowd ever gathered at
Bingham Springs celebrated the
Fourth OF July there yesterday and a
considerable part Of It remained over
for today. Messrs. Hoeh and Van
DuseD, proprietors, estimate that 1000
people were at their resort over sun
day and certainly the place fairly
swarmed with men, women and chill
dren.
Automobiles by the score streamed
into Bingham all day Saturday and
far into the night and by o'clock
yesterday morning other cars began
to arrive. others went to Gibbon on
the train and staged 1t in while not
few rode in horseback All up
and down the river In every shady
spot camps were pitched and autos
were parked in every available space
so that the place looked like an auto
show.
Though they had prepared TO take
care OF large crowd, the proprietors
could not begin to give accommoda-
tions for all Many anticipated such
a condition and went prepared, TAX
ing both bed and food. Others found
such Accommodations as they could,
doubling up with others, sleeping out

could. The proprietors ran a con-
tinuous dining room and managed 70
feed 500 people three times a day.
The swimming pool was the great
attraction and was literally alive
with humanity day and night. An
open air dancing pavilion also drew
crowds during afternoon and evening,
Firecrackers were kept popping by
the small boy lest the adult foget the
nature OF the celebration.
Bingham Springs escaped the dust
storm which struck this city Saturday
evening and yesterday was cool day

Conservative Estimates by Growers
and Buyers Show Damage to Crop
has Been Considerable.
NO SECTION HAS ESCAPED
Even the Heavy Lands on the Reser-
walton Have Felt the Effects-MOst
Of the Fields are Spotted and Some
of the Farmers Say so to 100 Acres
Not Worth Cutting.

A third of Cmatilla county's wheat
crop for 1915 is the toll taken from
the farmer by the recent winds, ac-
oording to conservative estimates by
growers and buyers This does not
necessarily mean a third Of the nor
mai crop for, until recent winds. the
prospects we're bright for an abnor-
NAL yield.
The damage done has been general
all over the county No section has
escaped and hardly farmer but has
suffered from the killing winds. Two
weeks ago considerable damage was
done in some sections by cold winds
and last week hot winds did great
deal more damage. Even the heavy
lands on the reservation and in the
Athena-Ada section have felt the
damaging effects.
The damage is apparent even to
the unexpert eye The golden tint
which betokens the perfect crop con-
trasts this year with the pale hue that
signifies burnt-out wheat and the
blush caste that tells of straw cured
up before the heads had matured
Most all of the fields are spotted and
some farmers declare they have fields
Of so to 100 acres hurt so badly that
it will not pay to cut them The grain
is so shriveled that, even If cut much
of 1t would blow over during the pro-
cess Of threshing. The reseeded fields
were particularly hard hit, according
TO reports from farmers,
The barley loss will not be as great
in proportion as the wheat loss. There
vas less barley than usual sown this
year and much of it was so far ad-
vanced that the winds did but little
damage. In some sections, too, some
of the wheat was advanced beyond the
stage where much injury could be
done,
One result of the damage will be
the necessity Of testing the grain.
Since 1909 the Umatilla county grain
has been so uniformly heavy that buy
ers have not felt the need of testing
for weight, but this year there will be
considerable light wheat and many
light tests are anticipated The test
ing will be difficult in view of the fact
that the light grain will be pretty well
mixed with the heavy grain.
Another result of the damage al
ready apparent, is in the sack market.
Farmers. who were insistentN clam
oring for more sacks two weeks ago,
are now satisfied with what they have
ordered.
The root of the damage is traced
back to the heavy May rains. So much
moisteure was received at that time
that the roots Of the grain spread out
Just beneath the surface instead Of
going deep. The grain grew rank and
gave rise to anticipations of big Yields
even in the light land sections but
when the hot weather came. the roots
could not secure enough moisteure to
sustain the stalks and nourish the
heads

VERMONT'S MARBLE
FORMS BIG RESERVE

On Which to Draw at Some Future
Time, Says L. S. Gov lnvesti-
gator Who has Examined the Form
atoms.
The calcide marble and dolomite Of
eastern Vermont are discussed in a
report by T. Nelson Dale, of the Unit
ed States geological survey, just print
ed and now being distributed by the
survey as bulletin $50. The western
part of the state includes the most ex-
tensive marble industry in the United
States, but, strange as it may seem in
so old state as Vermont, the eastern
part, as stated in the bulletin, is "a
virgin field where, in the lack of a gen
eral study of the stratigraphy, tie
paleontology, and the areal geology, it
is at present not only impossible to de-
termine the area and position of many
of the beds, but also even the thickness
of some of the marble formations
which are but partly exposed" Mr..
Dale has personally examined most of
the marbles of the area, which he
discusses as to their texture, color,
composition, uses, etc.
The marbles of eastern Vermont,
many of which are dolomitic, vary
widely in kind and character, and the
outcrops, though few in number, are
scattered from the Massachusetts line
to the Canadian boundary. Many of
the marbles are suited only for indoor
ornamental use. About dozen out
crops occurring in as many areas are
regarded by Mr.. Dale as more import
ant than the other, but the greater
part of the lodges are to be classed
as mineral reserves which will be
drawn on in the future.
