Some Farmers Cut Grain for
Hay, Fearing Dry Weather

Within Few Days Will Save
Tremendous Wheat Acreage

Continued hot and dry weather dur
ing the last week has made the grain
situation on Camas Prairie far from
encouraging Growing grsin. under the
rays of the burning sun, day after day,
is whitening, and farmers in some sec
tions, convinced that the crop is past
redemption, so far as maturing of grain
is concerned, have cut wheat for hay.
Fall grain and early spring grain are
suffering tremendously. according to j.
r. Finley, farm agent for Idaho county.
while spring grain that was sown late
is in fairly good shape.
Hope for Rain
Many faTmers feel that if rain falls
within the next few days, large part
of the crop viii be saved. Some are
more optimistic than others, aud opinion
is voiced that, if not another drop of
rain falls between now and harvest, the
grain yield will be sufficient to repay
the farmer for his efforts. and to leave
him a good profit
Grain between Grangeville and Cot
tonwood is said to be suffering more
than that in n higher altitude. In the
Ferdinand vicinity, wheat was said to
be in good shape early this week. This |
also was said of the Winona country.

 United States wheat director. an-
 nounced tonight upon his return from
 Chicago that he had completed nego-
 tiations to bring 4.Oot,OeO bushels of

NAVAL PLANE MISSING;
 SEARCH IS BEING MADE

Washington, May S.-With two of the three navy seaplanes which start ed from Rockaway, Long Island, this morning on the first leg of the trans Atlantic flight arrived safely at HaE- fax, navy officials were bending every energy tonight to locating the third, missing since early in the afternoon. No report of the missing machine, the x. C.-4, commanded by Lieutenant Commander A. C. Read. had been re- ceived after the machine passed the destroyer McDermut, first station ship located more than sixty miles north of Cape Cod and less than half way to Halifax.
 Orders were issued at once sending the McDermut and the next ship be- yond, the Kimberly. in search of the missing seaplane. Commander Read had reported just before reaching the McDermut that the oil pump on one oi his motors was giving trouble and he might have to come down. Later the N.C.-4 reported to Commander Towers in the N.C.-5 that the trouble had been repaired.
 Commander Towers with the N.C.-1 and N. C.-3 made the trip to Halifax in a fraction less than nine hours, the distance on the map over the course they took being 525 miles.
 Each of the three planes had a tri- pie radio installation when it Jeff Rockaway. One set was the telephone by which they communicated witt
 each other while in flight at a dis tance of score of miles. Stations and guard ships listened in' or many of these conversations and re ported them. The second was the reg ular long distance radio installation and the third was the equipment fol the radio cmpasses.
 The communication arrangements of the navy department worked ou perfectly. Repeatedly messages from Commander Towers, sent from hi speeding flagship of the air squadron ! the x. C.-S, reached the desks of off cers here in few minutes of the tim ! they were sent. Intercepted by an. of the radio stations ashore or afloa on the chain reaching clear to Hali fax, they were rushed to Washington ! on the navy's leased wire.

 Speaking before the Economic club, MT. Hines declared that unless some cure ''as radical as the one proposed' were adopted. postwar regulation would prove even more disappointing than the thoroughly unsatisfactory pre-war regulation.
 Howard Elliott, president and chair man of the executive committee of the Northern Pacific Railway company, also addressed the club, outlining fea- lures which the Association of Rail- way Executives hopes to see incor- porated in the railroad bill.
 Asserting that the labor question was 'one of the most serious and diff cult confronting the whole world' he urged that some method should be adopted giving flair and reasonable federal supervision and regulation of wages and working conditions Labor, he declared, now consumes more than 50 per cent. of the revenues of the railroads.

SENATORS ARE STUDYING
 SUMMARY OF PEACE TREATY

Washington, May S.-As they con- pleted their study of the official sum mary of the treaty of Versailles today, senators began to give expression to their views on the momentous docu- ment which is now in the hands of the German plenipotentiaries. A few sen- ators, however, still withheld com ment, preferPfng to examine the com plete text before reaching a definite conclusion. These included Senators Lodge of Massachusetts, Shoot of Utah and other republican leaders.
 Sharp opposition to the proposal that the United States in consort with Great Britain commit itself to go to Frances aid in the event that country Were attacked was voiced by Senators Borah of Idaho and Curtis of Kansas while Senator Shermans of Illinois and Moses of New Hampshire criti- cized the league of nations covenant in the treaty.
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, re- tiring chairman of the senate foreign relations committee approved the t' eaty as a whole and said that in his judsment the 'crowning glory of this great document is in the fact thai there is embedded in it the great con- istitution of the league of nations General approval of the military an6 naval terms imposed on Germany was given not only by republican anc democratic senators but by official. and diplomats generally. They con. cured in the view of army and navy officers that with the carrying out 0 the terms Germany would be stripped of every vestige of power necessar, for it to disturb again the peace of th | world.
 I Senator Borah made no comment 0,
 the treaty itself, confning his state
 ment solely to the proposal for a tripl
 alliance between the three leading as
 sociated powers. He declared tha
 whether the United States should talk part in any future European war va
 "a matter which should be determine upon the facts when and as they aris acd by the particular generation whic must bear the brunt of the war and b
 the intelligence and the conscienc and Judgment of the American peopl as they see the situation when face t
 face with it.''
 Senator Sherman said the 'tmanne
 in which the treaty has been presente > IS a resort to gag rule.' He declare
 1t was "a confession of weakness tn. the league of nations has to be dragge through as an annex to the treaty (
 peace" and said he would vote to ser : arate the league covenant from th I treaty and take a separate vote O [. each.
 Senator Moses did not regard Il ) sepal alton of the league covenant froI tnn treaty as impossible and said | preferreo the triple alliance betwee
 the Urfted States, Great Britain ar . France to the league plan as drawn.

 For nearly three hours the delega ies urged the nomination on Colonel Roosevelt, who steadfastly declined, saying he ''had no desire to hold office in the organization" but wanted to be simply booster. After several speeches in which he urged the caucus to nominate someone else he shouted: "I'll tell you just why I can't accept this nomination. They say I am a politician and that I formed this or ganization to make 8 grandstand play and"
