Guests at the E. E. Meeker home at
Cod Creek two days last week were,
his brother, Raymond Meeker and
family of Pasadena, California, and
his sister, Mrs. Lowe, and two sons
of Arlington, Washington. The MORN
ing after their arrival Carl, the eld-
est of the Lowe boys, came near to
having a serious accident when, in
jumping from car while hunting
rabbits, his gun was accidentally dis
charged, the bullet passing through
one of his fingers in three places,
finally lodging just under the skin
where it was picked out with jack
knife. The young man was taken to
Yskiina to have the wound dressed
and no ill effects are anticipated un-
less Infection should set in.

Pendleton, farmer and chairman of
the transportation committee of the
Farmers Union Of Oregon and South

AIR MAIL RATES REDUCED

Effective Wednesday, August /, the
rate on air mail matter was reduced
from 10 cents for each half ounce to
5 certs for the first ounce and 10
cents for each additional ounce. The
new rate is about one-fourth of old
rate and should make the air mail
service immensely popular.
The Varney air lines report that all
records were broken in the Pasco-
Salt Lake division for the month OF
June. An average of 262 pounds was
carried daily, being a. ten per cent
increase over May and a 90 per cent
increase over June 1927. Over 700
pounds of mail have been carried
Or this route during the first six
months of 1928.

HARD TO KEEP GROUND WET

Receiver Marvin Chase was down
from Wenatcilee the latter part of
last week and met with some of the
water users at the lower end Of the ca
nal who claimed they were short of
watu:. Mr.. Chase put men at work
and cleared out some of the water grass
that had grown up in the ditch and
was retarding the flow of the water.
During the hot weather last week ir
rigate in all of the districts in the
state were having difficulty in keeping
their places wet and one would gather
from reading the papers that the sue
cessful ones were those who had good
clean, well marked irrigation bitches
and who followed up and watched
their water closely during that period,
seeing the water got though to the
end Of each ditch

LARGE CROWD AT RQDEo

In spite of the warm day between
70 and 80 car loads of spectators took
in the rodeo given by the Indians in
White Bluffs last Sunday. As whole
the show was pretty good although
there was some complaint about the
time taken up by the Indians between
each of the stunts. Although some
wnltes competed, the Indians carri-
ed off most of the prizes. The buck
ing contests were the most exciting.
One or two of the horses were real
artists in the bucking line and the
riders had hard time staying on top.

that farmers should watch particu-
larly for this information. 1t has been
our belief and experience thai it is
almost impossible to predict accurate

of the factor Of weather in other sec

 Smiths strength IS put at 7s2 votes, which is 1 1-3 short of the number required for nomination. His packers insist, however that the North Carolina delegation will fur nish the necessary strength to put him across.
 The S secret votes are figures in the total of 732. That estimate. Smith workers said, was conserva- tive. and one of them went SO far as to say the governor would enter the convention with TAO delegates pledg- cd to him.

 Senator Curtis virtually has given word that, with his state still be- hind him for the presidency. he will not be vice presidential candidate. William J. Donovan, assistant to the attorney general. and close friend Of Mir. Hoover. also has dispatched word to his friends here that he is not candidate.
 However. there seemed to be no doubt of the availa bility of Vice President Dawes. Senator Deneen and Senator Moses. None of the trio IS participating in any way in their campaign. but none has declared ab- solutely he would not run.
 Dawes Will Accept
 The big question has been about MT. Dawes, but his friends, including Ed Clifford of Illinois. believe he will accept if drafted" It is un- derstood some of the leaders of the farm group sent word to Dawes that they were against him going on the ticket with Hoover and that Dawes indicated he would await any de- cision until informed of details of the partys platform.
 Senator Deneen's candidacy put the problem directly up to Illinois. which probably will caucus, but there were signs that he would have that states support if his name was presented. The Illinois senator voted not only for the McNary- Haugen bill. but to pass it over the veto of President Coolidge. However, Mir Dawes has been regarded also as friendly to this measure. at least in favor of the controversial equallza- ton fee provision.
 Senator Edges New Jersey friends were among the most active in the field today and they were confident of winning as much support in the east as any other candidate from that section, but they frankly ad- mitted that the delegates seemed to favor a middle western candidate.
