Wheat Crop Is
Damaged by Heat

A roundup Wednesday morning
revealed that the wheat crop in
most areas is seriously hurt by
the heat and lack Of moisture.
In best condition is the area from
a line south of Kennewiclk to the
Columbia river.
Ben Blair and Fred Mills report
their crop is still standing up
fairly well but moisture Is
needed. Further west the crop
is in serious condition except In
some of the higher spots.
A check in Rattlesnake showed
that only some higher spots are
standing the heat.
Heavier soil In the eastern
Horse Heaven region is credited
with saving much Of the crop
there.
Generally straw is short and
rain is needed to fill heads

Cherry Picking
Moves Ahead

Warm weather has fastened the
cherry harvest with no less than
20 orchards in the process OF
picking by Tuesday Of this week.
.The warm nights have moved
the fruit up faster than the hot
days." reports Harold Schultz,
assistant county agent.
Yields are running heavier than
was expected due to tn fact that
the fruit is Of very good size.
Howver, It is not a heavy crop,
but quality is good.

West Calls For Aggressive Backing
In Support Of River Development

Washington. From the Oregon
delegation, Senators Morse and
Gordon and Representatives
Angel and Stockman have prom
ised backing, as has Representa-
tive Dworshak Of Idaho.
Spokesman for the opposition
are Representatives Walter Nor
blad Of Astoria and Henry Jack
son of Everett, West stated.
In turn, Mayor West denied
the validity Of arguments adj
vanced by the fishing industries
that there is q surfeit of farm
land, an over supply Of hydro
electric power, and that only q
negligible advantage can be
gained from the improvement of
navigation in the rivers of the
northwest.
He questioned the contention of
fishermen that their annual earn
ings of from five to ten million
dollars would be wiped out by the
installation Of dams on the Snake
and Columbia.
West pointed to the tremendous
demand for farm lands, and lists
Of waiting buyers, to the demands
Of both private and public power
interests for more power to meet
needs, and to the cargo
tonnage transported on the Column
bia river in 1916 to refute the
charges.
Public records show, he con-
tinued, that the fish run In the
Columbia began to decline in 1890,
since that time. The decline, be
Is due more TO the
used by fishermen than
to the installation Of dams. The
Bonneville fish ladder check re-
corded eleven per cent more fish
in 1916 than in 1912, and the Ma
tional Fish and Wildlife Service
has commended the Bonneville
Administration and is designing
fish ladders with further improve
ments for the McNary Dam.
West took offensive as he closed
his speech, proposing that the
Columbia river be completely
closed to commercial fishing. The
Columbia, he pointed out, is the
only major riverway left in the
United States where commercial
fishing interests are allowed to
operate. The income from other
river uses would so far outweigh
the income from fishing as to
leave no argument as to the more
profitable choice, he concluded.

$2.50.)
Just back from the osS. Martin
Brooks wants only to lead 4 quiet,
uneventful life. Instead. he walks
into trouble. featuring his ex-wife.
He can sense disaster brewing even
before the morning stroll when Mar
tin and ex-wife Ann discover her
current husbands body floating in a
woodland pool. Then Ann Is threat
ened by her late husbands secretary
and has the misfortune to discover
the secretary,s body, also floating, a
short time later. Reluctantly, the
detective on the case announces he
must arrest Ann, which forces
Martin to up and solve the case.
This is the first time the Lock
ridges have assayed mystery with
out their fayorite sleuths, MIR. and
Mrs. North. While the Norths are
amusing, their absence this time is
no loss. In place of zany humor, the
Lockridges have supplied more per-
ceptive character delineations and a
less obvious plot. You should be able
to guess the guilty one, however, sew
