RANGE RIDER CLAIMS THAT
INDIANS SLAUGHTER DEER

George Brace, forest ranger, was
in town Saturday from his station at
forks of the Umatilla river. He re-
ports that a band of Indians has
practically exterminated the deer Of
that section. Last winter an unusual
ly large number of deer, he reports,
were driven out of the mountains by
the heavy SHOWS and remained along
the river. This spring the does were
SO weak that they dropped their
fawns in that locality instead of on
the higher attitudes, with the result
that the whole herd remained in the
low lands.
When the en- season came, big
bunch of I,l.a- hunters were on
hand, and the work of determination
was methodically carried on until
but few if any deer remain there.
Mr.. Brace says the Indians did not
stop at shooting the bucks, but the
does and their fawns were also killed
by the Indian hunters, who hunted in
squads and made regular drives af-
ter the game animals.

WHEAT ROWERS PREPARE
TO FIGHT SMUT EVIL

Experimentation in copper car
Donate treatment Of grain is being
carried out by approximately 12J
Walla Walla county farmers.
More than 5000 pounds Of cop
per carbonate have been purchased
by wheat growers of the county
for use as smut preventative on next
years crop. It is estimated that
$4,000 acres of land will be sown with
wheat treated by the new chemical.
From the use of copper carbonate
as smut preventative in Australia,
where it has been used for several
years, and in California where it is
used on commercial basis, whea.
men believe that a big saving in the
amount of seed wheat may be effect
ed. In addition to this economy, checks
SO far made that termination of seed
is better with the dry treatment than
when the grain is soaked in water,
and the wheat gets an earlier start
in the fall, and the plants are more
vigorous.
The dry treatment is more con-
yenient than the wet treatment, too
it is pointed out. When bluestone
and formaldehyde are used, seeding
must be done within "a hours or else
the seed must be dried out before
seeding. With the dry treatment the
copper carbonate may be applied at
any time and may be done when the
seed is cleaned. 1t can be held in.
definitely without injury.
One elevator at Prescott, Wash.
this year installed a machine which
treats the wheat as it is cleaned,
and farmers hauled in their wheat
for distance of 10 miles in every
direction.

3400 CARS ORDERED
FOR WESTERN FRUIT
Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion Acts to Prevent Heavy
Loss on Apple Crop.

Washington, ID. G. - Orders have
been issued to eastern roads to deliver
to western carriers at Chicago within
the next 10 days 3400 refrigerator cars
to aid in the transportation Of the
northwestern fruit crop. This action
followed urgent kilograms received
mainly from the Washington state
senators and representatives, who told
the commission that 1t was vitality
necessary to get q very large number
of refrigerator cars to the northwest
at once to prevent loss of millions
of dollars on the apple crops of the
Yakima, Wenatchee and Okanogan
valleys.
It was admitted at the offices Of
the Interstate commerce commission
that the movement of the perishable
fruit crop of the country is one of the
most serious problems confronting the
car service division, which Is under
Commissioner Aitchison. The de-
mands are coming from all sections Of
the country, particularly from the
northwest, 1t was said.
To meeA all demands from every
section there is total of only CO.,
600 cars in the United States, and
Oregon, Washington and Idaho COM
bined could give one eastbound haul
to each Of these cars this year, an of.
ficial Of the commission declared. At
the same time, however. he said the
frantic demand for ventilated cars is
coming from Michigan, New York,
West Virginia, Colorado and a dozen
other states. just at time when the
commission has finally satisfied the
same sort of an appeal from Cali.
fornia. where the movement of the
grape crop was for time equally as
serious problem as the apple crop
has lately become.

Toll Gate Road
Booster Meeting

Delegates from the Weston Com
mercial club and the Weston Noun.
tain Community club were entertain.
ed at luncheon Tuesday at the Hotel
Dacres by the.Walla Walla CONNER
cial club, the occasion being a
booster meeting in behalf of the
Blue Mountain highway.
Col. Paul H. Weyrauch presided
and short addresses were made by
Congressman ]. W. Summers Of
Washington, Robert E. Allen, John
B. Coan and others. Many facts Of
interest concerning the proposed
road linking Union and Umatilla
counties and the rich mountain agri-
cultural region which it will serve,
were brought out by the several
speakers. Its Importance in afford
ing mountain recreational advantages
for thousands of people was also
emphasized.
A telegram was read from Senator
Poindexter Of Washington pledging
his support to the enterprise, and
also from Congressman N. ]. Sin
mott of Oregon, who was in Lake
view, expressing his regret at being
unable to attend and his interest in
the proposed road.
The conclusion reached by the
meeting was that work, work, and
yet more work will be needed to
properly bring the proposed Blue
Mountain highway to the attention
of congress and the forestry SER
vice. Congressman Summers empha-
sized the need of concerted, patient
and persistent action on the part Of
all the communities interested, as
while the project possessed great
merit, there were many demands
upon the limited funds available for
road construction in the country's
numerous national forests.
Those from Weston and the noun
tain present at the meeting were
Nelson H. Jones, E. M. Smith, S. A.
Barnes, j. B. Coan, w. B. Hall, c.
w. Metz and Clark Wood. Pendle-
ton was represented BY Senator Roy
w. Ritner and Ben Burroughs.
