La Grande's Own Store Heavy Rains In Wallowa County Brighten Range Itr ii. V. Meek Observer Correspondent) WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) Clear ing weather has been in progress here during the past two or three days. Every part of the community according to reports from farmers has been soaked to the limit by the heavy rains of the early part of last week. According to W. P. Poole the precipi tation during the last storm of the month which lasted the greater part of two days and nights amounted to slightly more than two inches of moisture. This is the greatest fall of moisture at one time since 1W7, when in June and November large amounts of rain fell in a short period of time. All fears have been dispelled for the present at least, re garding the probably shortage of spring moisture. Early In March when much of the snow water was running off before the frost had be come melted, many feared that the soil would not become wet to a very great depth. While the soil in culti vated Ileitis becamtf very solt during the storms the ground has settled and dried off rapidly during the past two or three days and should fair weather continue for any length of time. It would be possible to start come farming operations In seme of the well drained places. No large amount of damage from high water during the wet spell has been heard of here, with the exception of damage to a portion of the road and bridges across Rock creek to ward Maxville. The road ud the canyon north of the H. C. Beggs farm In Lower valley is said to have been badly washed out in a number of places and several small bridges and culverts washed out.

The ( Wallowa river became quite high I early In the week but no reports are heard of where overflowing has done j any damage to speak of. Whiskey creek was out of its banks a couple of miles east of town at the T. A; ! Bakke ranch, where a new channel ; had been made and the creek changed for about forty rods. M. Bakke has had to give the water considerable attention to prevent a - part of his field being badly washed ', from the overflow. Dirt roads In the hills were washed considerably , In places. Early range conditions have 4m ; proved wonderfully In this section '.during the past ten days. A torge ; amount of stock have been roove4 i out to early pasture and according to stockmen the animals are doing-; ' line on uie new grass which is get ' ting quite well started. C. A. Hunter; recently moved the larger part of his cattle to his early pasture in the 1 Whiskey creek section. MastersoijL land Maxwell, who have been feeding over 100 head of cattle at the H. G. Masterson farm In the valley have moved their cattle to pasture In the t Leap community. Many other small j cr herds have been taken out to early range during the past week ot two. So far there has been but few i reports of trouble from ticks both? tring the stock. Many have held j their stock close In order to keep a watch-out for this -ouble. Last ! spring some stock were lost in some i of the larger herds from becoming j fadly infested with ticks. i ; Reports from a number of the j sheep owners of the community in dicate that no very serious losses j occurred during the recent rains. A J number of the larger flocks were ; outside during most of the storm, - and In many Instances was reported ) to be quite severe on the young lambs, causing them to lose flesh Before you buy any Electric Rrefriyeraton Ask - Compare Decide You are entitled to all of the distinctive features found only in the machine with The Monitor Top H. Bohnenkamp Co. Main 103 lambing in this community has been finished. L. W. Minor who has been busy lambing during the past two weeks reports only about 60 bead to lamb out yet. With the grass con ditions becoming much better, the lambs are making a much better growth than a few weeks ago snd but little trouble is being experi enced from shortage of milk. Gastin and Cussins, who have about 100 head of ewes at their farm in the hills east of town, are In the midst twins from some of the ewes which j have lambed recently. No reports j are neara tn in mis secuon oi of fers to contract Lambs for summer de livery. Flock owners feel somewhat encouraged with market prospects at this time and many feel inclined to believe that early lambs will com mand better prices than those of last year. No one is looking for much of ft price for the wool clip this sea son, some say that if they get 15 cents they will feel well pleased. Rather good luck has been experi enced at many of the farms with spring pigs, some farmers reporting as large as 10 pigs from gilts. With the baby chick season at hand, many old incubators are be ing placed in shape for setting. But few reports are heard of here where orders have been placed for delivery of baby chicks. Egg prices have reached such a low point that many of the poultrymen say they cannot pay prevailing prices for chicks and are going to try home hatching for the most of the chicks raised this year. During the past week eggs have been 10c pr dozen at the local stores. While some of the classes of feed are much cheaper than those : of a rear aao. manv are finding it ! unprofitable to continue the best j of feeding operations, in using com- j mere Lai egg feeds, which have not j dropped to any marked extent in price. A considerable number of persons In this community have been suf fering from attacks of flu and severe colds during the past two weeks. Many have been confined to the house for several days with the trouble. Guy Downing and family who! have been living at the Dr. Gregory j farm a couple of miles east of town during the winter, were moving Into town the latter part of the ' week. Mr. Downing has been con- ( fined to bed the greater part of the ; past three weeks with an attack of rheumatism and has not improved j sufficiently to go ahead with the work at the farm. I Thomas Scott, of Middle valley, re- ; ports the lost of a litter of 10 young l pigs irom drowning oy water ieaK- I ing into the pen during one of the ! nuvinl hanf rain Gilbert Baker and Mlnneth Couch left the last of the week for Im naha river with the expectation of securing work through the lambtng season. They said if they were not successful In getting a Job there they would probably go on to Snake river and work for some of the op erators there who are starting lamb ing early this month. John Crawford left the first of the week for- a few days business trip to oyer mountain points. Giles Plass has been busy the past several days helping Roy Gastin with fence building at the Gastin farm. J. H. Feaglns. of Leap, was busy several days the last week, sawing his summer's supply of fire wood. John Bales, of Leap, suffered a painful injury to his left ankle the early part of the week while roping a wild horse. His spur became caught in the rope causing his ankle to be severely & wis ted. Mrs. John Couch, of Leap, was busy getting her Incubator set the latter part of the week. She expects t to set another machine on turkey i eggs this coming week. 1 Mrs. T. G. Johnson left for Port- I land Saturday for a few days visit j frith her daughter, Ellen; who ' Uvea there. j Giles Plass. of Leap, was a business in wwn last wees. Fred Reel, of Middle valley, deliv ered some seed barley into town last week. During the past two years Mr. Reel has grown a considerable quan tity of barley on his dry land farm there and reports that he is able to ! secure better yields than from wheat. He has sold the greater part of his 1930 crop for seed purposes ! in this community. ! John Bales and Colon Heskett went to the upper part of the val- ley the last of the week to get some j sows and pigs Mr. Bales purchased at a sale there on Friday. Much of ! the livestock sold is reported to have gone quite well, especially stock hogs and ranee cattle. Arctic Race With Antitoxin "All in Day's Work" For Flier FAIRBANKS.

" the Pathfinders of the Air Health Talks I 0XY;EN IX PNEI MOMA f One of the serious complications of ' the disease pneuxnprua Is the oxygen starvation which the patient suiie.-. The modern treatment for this la to supply extra oxygen. The patient critically 1U of pneu monia is -air-hungry." His breathing is usually rapid and labored and his condition, in consequence, is one of anxiety. The oxygen starvation of the pneu monia patient is due to a number of ccnditions. Undoubtedly the toxins or poisons produced by the pneu monia germs ere a contributing fac tor. So also must be the physical block -ing-up of the air spaces in the af fected portion of the lung by the se cretions arising from the presence and action of the pneumonia germs in it. It is to overcome this condition that oxrgeo is employed in the treat ment of pneumonia. Since first tried ten years ago. accumulated experi ences have brought proof of Its bene ficial effects. The air-hungry pneumonia patient is permitted to breathe an atmos phere containing from 40 to 60 per cent oxygen, which soon raises the oxygen concentration in the blood to normal. Normal air contains only 20 per cent oxygen. The oxygen is administered in vari ous ways. Some hospitals have large rooms in which 'the air is rich In oxygen may be given by means of a lty subject to control. Lacking such elaborate equipment, exygen may be given by means of a square hood, placed cn the head and chest cf the patient. The tent is con nected to an oxygen tank. .
