Rev. LeGrand's pastorate which

Fine wheat Year.

The first reports beginning to
come in from the various threshing
outfits indicate that this Is to be
the record year for both irrigated
and dry land wheat. The irrigated
districts seem to be running from
forty-five bushels up of wheat in
some instances te figures are way
up. Link McKinney's big crop is
going over sixty bushels per acre
and Albert Kern's is said to have
reached seventy bushels. The re-
ports coming from the dry lands
are Drolm't:oEately encouraging.
All these crops are running over
twenty bushels and from that mp
to as high rs forty. With the high
?rices still prevailing it promises
to be the valleys banner year for
wheat. = Lamar Register.

Plenty OF Rain This Year.

The Oldest resident cannot re-
call year when there has been so
much rainfall in the lower valley and
at so favorable periods of the grow
ing season. Tuesday night there was
precipitation of 1.47, a couple of
days before 1.03 there has been
more than three three inches of
rain fallen here in the past 10 days.
Crops on the nOn-irrigated lands ne
yer gave greater promise The wheat
crop has already been harvested and
was of excellent quality and a good
yield, while the acreage was more
than double that of any previous
year. The corn, of which there is also
a large acreage, never looked bet
ter and Is now assured, with a
maximum yield.

GREAT GAME OF BALL
AT LAMAR LAST SUNDAY
Holly Lost by One Score After Hold.
ing Lead UP To The
Last Inning,

One of the most interesting ball
games in the lower valley during
the present season was the contest
at Lamar last Sunday afternoon
between Lamar and Holly which re-
suited in a score of 9 to 10 in favor
of Lamar. Those who WeWre there
said it was an excellent exhibition
of the national game and that every
fan felt that he had the worth of
his money, for interest was so tense
that they were on their tiptoes all
the time.
The Holly team was playing in ex-
cellent form and had considerably
the best of the contest right up to
the last half of the ninth inning
when Raymond ShanstrOm missed
his first fly catch for the season,
due to stumbling over some weeds
on the field. This turned the victory
to Lamar.
Anyway manager Smith and all
Holly fans are proud of her ball
teams performance last Sunday.
Mr.. Smith Is trying to arrange q
game between Lamar and Holly at
the Hartman Field Day celebration,
date OF which has not yet been an
nOunled
During the present busy harvest
and threshing season Manager Smith
says it is well nigh impossible to Sc
cure games with any of the neigh
boring teams but that he is hopeful
OF a good line of games the latter
part of the month.

WILL GO TO COAST.
r. J. Ponton Resigns Position OF
Manager At English's

II. j. PontOn for the past three
years resident manager of the r. w.
English Lumber Co.'S yard here has
rendered his resignation and ex-
poets to leave for the west as soon
as his successor can be secured and
can arrive.
Mr.. POntOn's resignation is an
other example of the house short
age which prevails in Holly as well
as nearly every other town in the
country. He was Oredred by the
owner to vacate his residence Fri
day and it was up to Tom to either
build or move out of town. After
some figuring and deliberatiOn he
finally chose the latter.
Mr.. and Mrs. P0nton on leaving
here, which is now somewhat jnde-
finite, will go to Salt Lake City for
a visit with her parents, after which
they expect to locate somewhere on
the Pacific coast. Mr.. POntOn has
received q number of offers for his
services but as yet has accepted none
of them, preferring to look around
for awhile.
Mr.. PontOn came here from st
Louis about three years ago to as
sumo the management of the Eng
lish interests here, position which
he has since held with efficiency and
evident satisfaction to is employ
ees. He was about the same time
elected secretary of the Holly Com
mercial club which office he has
bee nreelected to fill eac year since,
and where he has always been ready
and willing to get out and boost for
whatever project or cause came up
for the towns good.
Mrs. Ponton who has been identi-
fled with the church and social cir
cles of the town, will also be missed.
Their many friends will wish for
them prosperity wherever they may
decide to locate.

commission stated that the carriers
had stated specifically that they
needed Immediately at least one
hundred Thousand freight cars, two
Thousand locomotives and three
thousand passenger coaches. They
are TO be paid for out of this fund
and out of moneys advanced by
the commission and borrowed by
the carriers.
The decision of the commission
which was unanimous, summed up
as follows:
Most of the factors with which
we are dealing are constantly chang
ing. 1t is impossible to- forecast
with any degree of certainty what
the volume of traffic will be. The
general price level is changing from
month to month and from day to
day. 1t Is ilnpracticable at this
time to adjust all rates on individ-
ual commodities. Rates to be estab-
lished on the basis hereinbefOre ap-
proved must necessarily be sub
ject to such readjustments as the
facts may warrant. 1t is conceded
by the carriers that readjustmentl
may be made in as many instances
as practicable without appeal to
us"
Government operation of the rail
roads was brought into the rate case
by Commissioner Eastman, who in
an opinion in which Commissioner
Woolley cOncurred, disapproved the
method used by the commission In
arriving at its conclusion. Commits
sioner McCord critized Commission.
er Eastman's position declaring
that he "injects in this case large
political questions of governmental
policy which are nowhere in issue
here"
Commissioner Eastman expressed
regret that federal control of the
roads was not permitted to con.
| tinue at least until after the read
| justment period.
! As to grain rates, the commission
said 1t found that such rates into
and ont of important grain markets
in the middle West might be in
creased by the general percentages
with the understanding that the
carriers would. within thirty days
after the service of this report, file
tariffs restoring an equalization. OF
the rates from important produc.
ing states to important consuming
regions.
AS to eastern carriers, the com.
mission ruled that these rates
might be increased, but that part
differentials must be maintained.
