ty OF charge of battery on the per-

WHEAT CROP WAS
Is MILLION Blu.
Nj Per cent Of State Total Crop de.
liyercd 20 Mills and Warehouses.
Barley In Storage

Portland. Mar. 10.--The total
1913 wheat crop for Oregon Is esti.
mated by the U. s. bureau OF CROP
estimates at 15.22S.OOO bushels. Re.
ceipts from farms. as tRbulated by
the Grain Corporation indicate that
SO per cent OF the total estimated
crop had been delivered to mills and
warehouses; by February 7. 1919.
The reports also show that about two
thirds OF the wheat delivered to mills
and warehouses was still in the state
on March I. 1919. Only very small
part OF the grain In country ware
houses is still owned by the produ-
cers. however.
A rather surprising feature OF the
situation is the small movement OF
oats and barley. The records indi.
cate that only a small portion OF the
total crop was delivered TO mills and
warehouses;. and OF the amount SO
delivered nearly 90 per cent OF the
oats and 80 per cent OF the barley
remained in storage or as mill sup
plies on February 2s. 1919.

WILL RECLAIM MILLION
ACRES OF DESERT LAND

Pocatello, Ida, Mar. 10.--An am
bilious and far-reaching project in
irrigation and water conservation is
presented in the plan Of the Snake
River Development association. 1t
involves the reclamation Of 1900, 900
acres of dry land in what Is known
as the west district OF the upper
Snake river valley, or on the "des-
ert."
1t is part OF what was once known
as the old Dubois project, abandon
ed before 1t was fairly started. un-
der the supervision Of the federal
government, and would amplify the
governments project by vast acre
age.
Business men, farmers and other
individuals OF the towns OF Idaho
Falls. Blackfoot, Dubois and other
communities have organized for the
purpose OF inducing the federal gov
ernment to again go ahead with the
plan and to induce the increase Of
an appropriation to further the pro-
position.
The peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the scheme is that 1t has
been determined that seepage or
waste water can be conserved. Year
ly, vast wastage of Snake river
water drifts into the desert, or goes
on to the ocean, unused. The water
ways of Little and Big Lost rivers
as we'll as Birch creek, eventually
seep into the desert, to reappear low
er down on the Snake river later in
