Heavy Rains In
Wallowa County
Brighten Range

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. Travel from

( 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

land Maxwell, who have been feeding
over 100 head of cattle at the H. G.

moved their cattle to pasture In the

j cr herds have been taken out to

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

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

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

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

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.

f One of the serious complications of

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
