until o'clock the next morning.
Any dogs found running at large
during these hours wll) be picked

Under the present plun, Irriga

and odd numbered homes on Tues

irrigating Is allowed on Sundays.
Mltle ChlorlnntliiK.
This ruling has done away with
such as was resorted to In past
years because It conserves the sup
ply to such an extent that but little
pumping from the river nnd result
ant chlorlnation Is necessary.
The present mixture of pure
Beaver creek water is such that
only a minimum of chlorine is
present In the supply, not enough
to damage growing plants or
grasses. '
Mr. Crew-s says that If It were
necessary to chlorinate the entire
supply, the chlorine existent in the
water, would grently damage lawns
and gardens, even more than lack
of every day Irrigation.
Work on the repairs voted at the
June third election is progressing
as rapidly us can be expected.

WALLOWA, Ore. (Special)
Tho weather has been extremely
hot In this section of the country
for several days. The heut is said
to have reached the highest point
Stuurday afternoon when as de
grees was registered here. A dry
lug northwest wind has been blow
ing a great deal or the time, and
has dried the ground out rapidly.
The dry hot weather has In-pun
to show some signs or doing dam
age to crops or grain In many parts
or the country. Much of the early
sown fall wheat Is coloring up fast
and should the hor dry weather
continue It Is probable t hat some
of the fields will be ready tor bind
ing during the next ten days.
Many of the farmeis are or the
opinion that the full crops are too
well advanced to suffer much dam
uge from the dry weather, ulless
hot winds should begin blowing.
The most, of the spring crops ap
pear, to be standing the drouth
fairly good, although some slgn.i ot
burning cun be noticed on thin
land.
A number of the farmers in the
hill sections are commencing to
cut their grain hay this week,
while u few others did some cutting
lust week.
