the fate of the Proposed Wenatcshee
Southern railroad, was begun yester.
day before the u. S. interstate com.
merce commission in Washington, ID
C..

LADS STEAL
RANCH TEAM
Two Boys Take Horse from
Carpenter Place and Start
Ride to Seattle

One of C. e. Copeland's last of
ficial acts as deputy sheriff was to
apprehend two boys who last Sat-
urday night were making a wild ride
on two horses stolen from the barn
yard Of r. E. Carpenter who lives
about three miles west Of the city on
the River Road.
The theft Of the horses was dis
covered shortly before midnight, up
on Mr.. Carpenters return from
town. During the absence of her
husband, Mrs. Carpenter heard a
commotion at the barn and so inform
ed Carpenter. Upon investigation
he found his span Of work horses
were missing. Deputy Copeland was
notified and he, in company with
Chief Of Police Dale, Immediately
started up the valley on search
for the horses.
When near the Fallon bridge about
ii miles from this city the headlights
of the officers car revealed two
horsemen riding at top speed. The
Ford soon dntdistai1csd the figures
who proved to be two lads aged IL
and 13.
The boys, whose names are with
held because Of the provisions Of the
juvenile act, said they lived near Pas
CO. The older Of the two said his
father and mother were divorced and
he had been living part Of the time
with his father near Pasco and part
Of the time with his mother in
Seattle. Saturday night he started
to return to his mother and persuad-
ed neighbor boy to accompany him.
They started the trip on foot but up
on seeing the horses at the Carpenter
farm they decided horseback riding
offered decided advantage over hoof.
ing it.
.As they passed through Richland
they took from hitching rack the
saddle horse Of Earl Clements. They
attempted to ride this horse but he
refused to go. At the outskirts 81
town they turned the Clements pony
loose after having transferred the
saddle and briddle to one Of the Car
penter horses.
The boys told the officers they
planned to ride by night and keep in
hiding during the day.
The lads were taken before Judge
Truax Tuesday and the younger OF
the pair was returned to his parents
and the older held to await the ar
rival of his mother from Seattle.

Worst Storm Ever Expert
enced by p. p. & L. Com
pany, Says Stafford

One Of the worst wind storms this
ssetion Of the country has ever known
swept over southeastern Washington
last Sunday. While there is no local
apparatus for measuring wind velo-
city the storm was severe enough to
leave in its wake many evidences of
IT, passing.
In the city several shade trees were
uprooted, portions Of the roofs Of the
Yakima Valley Fruitgrowers' as
sociation warehouse was blown off,
bill boards throughout the city were
tumbled down, and up and down the
valley farm outbuildings were toppl-
"a from their foundations.
According to Local Manager L. A.
Safford, Sundays storm was the
worst ever experienced by the Pacific
Power & Light company. In all rs
power poles were blown down in the
Yakima and Walla Walla districts.
On the river road highline alone is
poles went down and on the local
system a total Of 18 transformer
polss were blown down.
The company has force Of twenty
nnemen working locally and by siren
upus efforts has been able to main
tah 4 limited service over their city
Distributing lines, current being sup
piled 81 the Washington Water Pow
q company. over the Lind line.
Since Sunday street lighting has
been sacrificed to save the city and
Highlands water supply. The line
which carries the Highlands and city
pumping plants went down. Highland
residents were without water for q
few hours but before the city reser-
voir was emptied the voltage Of the
street lighting line was changed and
extended to the pumping station. Mr..
Stafford said today that street lights
can probably be resumed in the main
part Of town tomorrow night but it
win probably be several days before
service can be resumed in the Garden
Tracts.
While suffering less damage
wick Valley Telephone company has

ficulty in maintaing service over
their lines. At no time have they
been compelled to shutdown COM

STATE AGRICULTURAL OUTPUT
ESTIMATED AIT $150,105 $50
MA FARM PAGE

though the recent estimates of 49,
100000 pounds have been revised
slightly downward, Montana ranks
third, Texas being first, and Wyom-
ing, second.
Wheat, the premier crop of the
state, is estimated this year at 49,
$4,000 bushels. At 70 cents the
income from this will be $36,O39,-
OOO.. The price was used in the sum-
mary, not as a guess at the quota
lions which may prevail at harvest
time, but as a figure which might
fairly be supposed to represent the
actual net return to the farmer, after
various elevator and freight charges
are met.
In a similar way so cents was sell
ected as the figure with which to cal
calute the net return for the corn
O which this year will be approx
mately $4,000 bushels.
Crop Revenues Greater
From these two crops alone the
farmers of Montana are expected to
receive more than SAL, 100000. Oats
at approximately As cents will yield
$~9,33O,75O,. barley at so cents, ST.
154,4OO; rye at so cents, $663,OO0;
potatoes at SO cents, $2,565,000. In
addition, flax at So may be expected,
according to official estimates, to
produce not less than $2,164,000.
There will be 100000 tons of tame
hay at about SO, or a total of ST.
$4,000 for this crop; $4,000 tons
of wild hay at IS, and $4,000 bu-
shells of apples at 81. M
One interesting fact disclosed by
the summary, which makes a COM
parison with other years, is that
while prices per bushel for virtually
all the major crops are far below
those prevailing in the boom period
of 1919, the income this year from
each will be usually on a par or above
the incomes of previous years.
The summary, which shows a total
crop income of S~93,126,190, and
$56,979,O00 for livestock products,
this year, is as follows:
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-08-30

Forty thousand farms operating in
Montana are producing, according to
official estimates, $150,105,150 of
new wealth this year. The estimate
is based on current prices, and the
total exceeds by from 100000 to
$4,000 900 any year since 1919.
Individually, the income e farm
will average $500 for 1928, a sum
greater than the individual average
of 1919, when the total vas $685.
269,3O3, but had to be divided among
a greater number of agricultural
units. In that year, according to
the United States census, the number
of farms was 57,677, while today,
officials of the state department of
agriculture believe the number act
ually in operation is somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and 10000.
Family Incomes Large
Farm population also has declined.
Given by the census as 100000 in
1920, careful estimates place it o
at not more than 275,000. On that
basis the $150,000,0 600 crop return
this year will yield a per capita in
come of more than $500 for each
man, woman and child on the farms.
This amount is in excess of $4,000
for a family of five, which is con-
siderably above the income of the
industrial family.
These statements are founded on
a summary made of crop information
recently issued by federal and state
This summary covers
the production and estimated value
at marketing of the 10 principal
crops, coupled with the prospective
revenues, at current prices, of live
stock products.
Montana's wheat crop this year is
greater than any the state has yet
produced. The corn yield also is the
largest in history.
Range cattle are declared to be in
20 per cent better condition than
they were a year ago. Sheep have
increased in numbers compared with
1922; and in wool production, al

WESTERN LAMB
CROP EXCELLENT
GENERAL PERCENTAGE is EST
MATED AT II; FOR MONTANA
70 PER CENT
Conditions in the IntermountaIn and
Coast States Have Been Favorable
and a Large Percentage of Lambs
Have Been Saved.

The lamb crop saved in the west
ern range states during the Landing
season of 1923 is estimated at X per
cent of the ewes by the United States
department of agriculture. This estl-
mate is based upon reports from the
state representatives of the depart
ment in all of these states, whose
information was derived from spe-
cial Investigations and from reports
direct from producers.
Lamb Losses Light
Because of lack of comparable
data no exact comparison can be
made with last years crop. How
ever, in most of these states all con-
ditions were much more favorable
this year than last. Ewes entered
the winter in strong condition, win
ter feed was ample and winter Wea-
Their not severe; weather conditions
during lambing was generally favor
able, with only a few storms of long
duration. While grass was some
what late in starting last spring, the
ample moisture produced abundant
spring and summer range. Losses OF
lambs have been light.
luG pOOIGSL COnQlllOh IL thC
smallest crop was reported from Ari-
IONA, where conditions after lamb
ing reduced considerably an early
promising crop. In Texas and New
Mexico the drought conditions OF
last fall were reflected in the failure
to breed an unusually large number
of ewes, but favorable spring condi-
lions resulted in a large percentage
of lambs dropped being saved.
Conditions Favorable
In the intermountain and Pacific
states, conditions we're generally
very favorable and the number of
lambs saved was large, except in
Utah and Nevada, where local con-
ditions reduced somewhat the per-
centages as compared to the other
states in this area. In the Rocky
mountain states the lamb crop saved
was above the average and the lambs
have made excellent growth.
The state percentages as revised
from the latest available data fol-
lows: Lambs saved in season of 1928
as percentage of ewes on Jan. l,
1928: Texas, 10; New Mexico, SO;
