(Special) An increase of 20 per sent In passanger travel In June over the month of May shown In the monthly, traffic reports of the Varney air lines Is graphic evidence of the growing pop ularity of the slogan "Travel by Air." Exactly 130 passengers availed themselves of the service over the Varney system during the month of June. A good share of these pas sengers proved to be traveling on business and went beyond the east ern terminus of the lines, Salt Lake City. Some went beyond via the air routes and some by train. The most popular "hop" however proved to be from Boise to Salt Lake City, re ports disclosed. This fact is prob obly due to the long and uneventful train ride between the same two points. The Varney organization will in- aucuratn tt Rtxatt.- T .... land service to connect with the Port- w oait iAxe uily service about the 15th of July. This service will undoubtedly be popular with Port landers as It will glvo them their only opportunity to go from the Rose City to the Puget Bound section, spend a business day there and re turn In time to close their Portland offices.

By C. C. Meek (Observer Correspondent) WALLOWA. Ore. (Special) Harvest operations have been getung under way in many parts of this count" during the post week or two. Some of the wheat farmers in the dry farm ing sections have been busy during the past few days cutting baefcswathes around their when liekts, while many of the valley far.i ers are in the midst of haying, some al the first cuainju of alfalfa were cut two and three weeks ago and some of the later fields were cut during the past week. Timothy and other later kinds of hay are being cut and there aonears to be considerable difference In the quan- "l? o "ay n various fields. Much of the alfalfa was very light. Timothy and other grass which is being cut for hay has made an excellent growth during the past ten days while the weather has been warm and will pruuaoiy produce neany as large a tonnage of hay as is ever raised nere. a Heavy rain which fell over parts or the county several days ago Is said to have done considerable da-nage to some of the grain fields In lower val ley, reports stating that at the L. T. Powers farm there that a Held of heavy barley wus badly flattened by the rain and winds and that a num ber of other fields tn that commun ity were tangled and put down quite badly also, "ihe burning of the grain in the dry. farming areas of the coun ty Is said to have been checked by th recent rains and that the wheat is filling out well. Fanners feel that U another week or ten days of favorable weather can be had that some of thi best wheat crops whlc.i have been harvested in this section In a number of years will be secured. Fairly good stands of grain Is seen in the most of the wheat fields and -the greater part of It Is quite heavy. Spring sown crops have also beeu greatly benefitted by the recent moisturu. however, with the dry season now aw hand It Is highly probably that more rain will be needed in order for the spring crops on dryland to make anything like a normal yield. Posture and range conditions are still quit. good In all parts of this county. The ranges had not began to dryup very bad when the last rain came and thlo additional moisture should prolong the green stage of the grass for two or three weeks at least. Some of the stockmen wno have their cattle and otner stocK uu summer ranges in tnc mountains and timbered sections say that the stock are doing exceptionally well and getting very fat. Some of the first shipments of Wal lowa county lambs left hero r;centl for Omaha markets. The lamts were shipped by the Wallowa County Mar keting association ana are saia to have been exceptionally nice ones. Most of the sheep owners say that their lambs this year are the best they have raised in a number, of years. Several cars of hogs and cattle left the county the last of the week fo: the Portland market. A. W. Johnson who is in charge of stock shipments for the Wallowa County Stock Mar keting association took the shipment to Portland Saturday. L. W. Minor and wife, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hearing, or Evans, and Fred Hearing, of Leap, returned home the first of the weeR from a tnrt rtnva trn tn flonnHd Tliirf report a fine trip and good roads for j the greater part of the distance.
