4 CROOKED BOUNDARY.
oause Of the Peculiar Lines That D.
vide Two States.


II you will look on the map Of
New England you will see two Gu
rious Irregularities in the dividing
line between Massachusetts, and
Connecticut. One of them is In
CRANKY township, little north
west of Hartford, and the other in
Enfield township, on the Connect
cut river, south of Springfield. 1t
is q standing conundrum why, so
long as the boundary is imaginary,
they did not make it straight in
stead of crooked. But thereby
hangs tale.
Those two little jogs on the map
are monuments to human obstinacy
and to the persistency which is one
Of the chief traits Of thes Yankee
character. The ancestors of the
farmers who own those little spots
Of ground preferred to live in Mas
sachusetts rather than in Connect
cut and fought for their preference
until they had their way.
! The controversy began in 1713
and continued for l12 years before
it was finally decided. In 1924 the
question was appealed to England,
but the government was 80 much
engrossed in the Seven Years war
that it was never brought to the at
tertion of the crown. Up to the
outbreak of the Revolution both
states continued to levy taxes and
send notices Of fast days and cleo
tions to the farmers who occupied
the land, and there is no record of
how they avoided one or whether
they paid both. Later, however,
they voted and paid taxes in Massa-
chusetts only, Notwithstanding the
protest of the county authorities in
Connecticut. In 1893, after peace
was restored, both states appointed
commissioners, but the dispute was
carried on until 1904, when . com
promise was reached. There were
several similar disputes between the
two states besides those which now
appear upon the map, and an agree
ment was reached by which Massa-
chusetts consented to surrender heI
claim TO strip Of territory in
Woodstock and Sufiield townships
provided Connecticut would yield
her claims to the other tracts in
dispute. No action, however, was
taken upon the report.
In 1910 the controversy was re.
vived by some legal proceeding, and
another commission was appointed
but if it ever reached conclusion
there is no record to be found In
1920 o third commission was in.
trusted with the settlement, .anc
after two years they decided upon
the present boundary ina which
was adopted by .hc legislature Of

GRAIN ON THE BEST LANDS
ONLY SLIGHTLY DAMAGED

While there has admittedly been
some damage to grain In the Weston
district, the general prospect yet In
dIcates that the crop will be nearly
normal. both ms TO yield and quality.
But for the recent untimely hot
wave which caught some OF the wheat
while passing from the milk into the
dough. Weston would have had a
bumper crop this year. As Il IA. the
Yield will only be reduced five 10 ten
bushels from what II would have been
had the weather continued propitious'
in the opinion of close observers This
means that Weston will come to bat
with its usual good crop.
A party Of local citizens accompan-
led Hyman Cohen. market editor OF
the Oregon Journal. on a recent trip
from Weston through the Lamar
gulch district, the Wild Horse district
and the Spring Hollow district on the
reservation. Mr.. Cohen went into
numerous fields after samples, and
found no poor wheat. Much of II
ioked like 40 bushels per acre or bet
ter. To be sure. the drive was taken
through the best wheat lands In the
county. where cron5 never fall" Mr..
Cohen expressed his pleasure at see
ing such good wheat. having lately
made tour through Wasco and Gill
liam counties. where he estimates that
the yield viii be reduced about IS per
cent by the drying winds.
Around Weston some fields are
spotted" and will not yield up to
their normal production White spots
In the field indicate the places where
the damage is greatest. and where the
straw is found to be lifeless and the
berry shrunken. Such places. how
ever, are the exception rather than
the rule. and may not cause as much
loss as Is at present feared by the far
mers. Thick sowing seems to have
been the rule this year and the heads
everywhere seen are quite small. al
though filled withN plump and healthy
looking berries
Reports OF damage come from Dry
creek and Couse creek ridges and
from certain localities on Pine creek.
II is also said that some grain in the
Cayuse and Thorn Hollow sections on
the reservation will not pay for cut
ting. From reports received by the
East oregonian that paper estimates
that Umatilla county's crop as a whole
will be cut down one-third from the
prospective yield earlier In the season.
Late sown grain seems to have suf-
fered the most damage. having been
caught In rank condition from the
excessive spring moisture. The ear
liar wheat had gotten past the critical
stage and withstood the curing winds
to better purpose. The few re-seeded
fields throughout the county show the
greatest loss.
Franklin county's crop. in eastern
Washington. seems to have beaten
out" the streak OF bad weather. Snake
river exchanges say that threshing is
already in progress In some localities
One field Is reported to have averaged
"a bushels per acre and another ~
bushels--which is a good showing for
Franklin county.
