Rain Today Will

SPRING SOWN GRAIN PARTICU.
LARLY WILL BE BENEFITED
BY DRIZZLE.

Rain that has been falling in a
steady drizzle all day will help to
save part of the umatilla crop, es-
pecially the spring sown grain, ac-
cording to farmers and grain buyers
who are familiar with the situation,
Much Of the grain that has been hurt
is now past help by weather condi-
tlons but all agree that the rain will
he beneficial to all grain in which
there Is still sap, Unless the rain
falls in heavy storm or is accom-
panied by wind SO that some of the
grain will fall, no damage will be
done by It.
A great deal OF the grain that was
hurt by the recent winds cannot be
benefited by rains because Of the fact
there ls no sap left In the stalks.
However there are yet many green
heads in the fields and these will be
helped to fill by the moisture. The
fields that were resown in the sprins
and which were apparently doomed
to suffer heavily from the hot wealth
er, will be greatly benefited, farmers
say.
The rain will delay harvest few
days and is interfering with such hay
ing as has not been completed, but
otherwise is very welcome.

NEW YORK. July s.-The huge
freight liner Minnehaha is racing
toward Halifax with a fire in her hold
threatening a fifteen thousand ton
cargo of munitions aboard. Captain
Claret reported the fire by wireless
last night. saying 1t was not serious
''at present" He said he was $50
miles from Halifax and was making
for that port. The fire caused specu-

Hodgeuo and Doddare Named
Upon the County Fair Board

Louis Hodgens and E. P. Dodd were
today appointed by the county court
as members OF the county fair board
and thereby hangs a tale. 1t may
mean no county fair will be held at
Stanfield. In fact there may not be
any county fair this year any place.
stanfield people wanted G. L. Hurd
and C. c.. Connor named upon the
board and they have been laying all
plans for the holding Of the fair in
their town. In connection with their
plans. however. they antagonized
Hermiston people and this apparent
~ led TO war upon the appointees de-
sired by Stanfieldites.
Under the state law upon the sub
ject it is obligatory for the county
court to name as fair commissioners
men who are recommended by the
various agricultural societies, grain
associations and oranges Of the coun-
ty.
This is where the Hermiston folk
won the day When the county court
considered the matter today it was
found the Stanfield Fruit Growers
Union was alone in the endorsement
Of Hurd and Connors. But for the
appointment of Hodgens and Dodd pc
titions galore were in evidence. The
following farmers organizations join
ed in recommending the appointment
of the two men named Hermiston
Local Farmers Union, Hermiston
Fruit Growers. Hermiston Jersey

Waterusers Association, East End Co.

cessary to name men recommended

third member Of the commission is Ma
jor Lee Moorhouse who holds over.
In view of the fact Pendleton has a
representative on the board County
Judge Marsh left the selection Of the
other two men largely to the COM
missioners He takes the view, how
ever that the law compels the court
to appoint the parties recommended.
The county school superintendent is
ex-officio a member of the commits
sion. Therefore the body as it now
stands is composed Of Messrs Moor
house, Hodgens, Dodd and Young. The
old board took steps toward holding
the fair at Stanfield this year. With
the new board named it is presumed
the fair will not be held as planned
unless under such conditions as will
end the antagonism aroused among
the Hermiston people.

Mob al Helix Threatens Restaurant
Keeper Following an Attack Upon
IL Year Old Girl.

Charged with a brutal attack upon
his twelve year old step-daughter
Arle Arlington, Helix restaurant
keeper, was rushed to Pendleton at ?
o'clock this morning to escape the
threatened vengeance Of an enraged
mob of neighbors. He was brought
in by Marshal Elmer Albee and turn

Arlington's wife has been working
as a domestic in Pendleton and sent
her young daughter out to Helix to
spend the Fourth of July and attend
the celebration there. The girl stay
ed at the home of her step-father and
early this morning neighbors were
startled by screams coming from the
house. They reported the matter to
Marshal Albee who went to the house
and found the girl IN a pitiable con-
dition as the result Of the brutal at
tack. She was placed under the care
of a physician and the examination
substantiated the fearful story told by
the victim of the mans lust.
The story quickly spread and the
crowd which gathered was in a mean
mood. Mutterings of vengeance be-
gan to grow louder and the marshal
in alarm hurried his prisoner away.
The mother of the girl was appris-
ed of the affair this morning and left
by auto with Deputy Sheriff Joe Bla-
kelly for Helix to attend her daughter.
She stated before leaving that she
would file the formal charge against

The matter of the purchase OF 9TH
er park sites in Pendleton came up
for discussion again last evening at
the council meeting after a warrant
had been drawn for $4,000 In favor Of
II F. johnson in full payment OF the
city's part Of the purchase price Of
the strip Of land on the north side
Of the river. Chairman Murphy of
the finance committee stated that he
nad been quoted price of $1,000 for
the block on East Alta street owned
by the Catholic Sisters and a price Of
about $4,000 for the Cunningham strip
Of land west of Roundup Park.
He also investigated another site
in the west end but declared 1t was
not adapted to park purposes. Act
ing Mayor Dyer declared himself
against the purchase Of the Cunning
ham strip owing to its proximity to
Roundup Park. The price for the
East Alta street block he declared to
be reasonable, inasmuch as the Sis
ters had paid S650O for 1t besides
street improvements No action was
taken other than to instruct the fl
nance committee to ascertain what
kind of terms on which It could be
secured.
The council last evening granted
the petition Of South Main street resi-
dents for the hard surface improve
ment of the south hill to High street.
Until the city attorney returns, no
further proceedings will be taken in
this matter.

struction of sidewalk along the
