Air Passenger
Travel Gaining
In Northwest
PORTLAND, Ore. (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.
Union County Picnic
Each year Union county people who
have later made their home In Port
land or Multnomah county Anticipate
the annual picnic, when they prob
ably see more "home folks" than
on any other one day In the 365. This
season eunaay, July. .20 has- been
chosen as the date and Laurelhurst
park as the setting, according to an
announcement by Mrs. -John More
lock, secretary. Anyone visiting In
Portland near the date Is invited to
attend the meeting.

Harvest Under
Way This Week
In Wallowa Co.
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
