If audi a change wore made, It la
ure that thore will be more pep to

A banquet at Hotel Benson, atten
ded by the Irrigators In a body, and
at which the Blue Mountain Oil
Cas Company were bosU, was one of
the Important features of the pro
gram. Following the banquet the entire
group attended the theatre, guests
of J. B. Sparks ot this city. Here
s everywhere else, the Irrigators
captured the place and did some real
advertising stunts.
At Motel Portland, the general
headquarters for King Alfalfa and
Ms court, the only men who receiv
ed attention were those In blue dent
in and straw beta.
We are not prepared to say Just
what happened Wednesday evening

AT THE WAREHOUSE
Omur Wilson announces that he
will have a big dunce at the Tum-A-Lum
warehouse which he Is rushing
to completion, Saturday evening,
June 25.
Mimic Is to be furnlshe-d by the
Johnson Creek Jazz Band, and the

J. C. Houston ot Roberts reports
the loss of a valuable cow on Thurs
day evening.
In the afternoon Mr. Houston had
passed by the pasture where the cow
was grazing and noticed that she was
feeding from a bed of Jim Hill mus
tard. Later that evening when the
cow did not return to the barn, he
supposed that she had merely stray
ed off, and undertook to bring her
in. After searching around the
field he found her where she had
died. Mr. Houston thinks that dea
th occurred from the mustard she
had eaten, although lie had no pre
vious experience of this kind. At
any rate it would pay to investigate
into the matter, as an ounce of pre
vention Is worth a pound of cure.

over that godsend to the Isolated

arrival, about 11 P. M., the Puetts
were on the watch and had a great
supper for the hungry travelers,
seven hours out of Prlnevllle. There
were fried spring chicken with
cream gravy, new potatoes, home

strawberry shortcake, savory coffee
and the unbeatable home kind of
preserves and aweets. One of the

THE HAV HARVEST
BEGINS
Hay harvest started In a number
of localities on - Monday, and the
next ten days will see the harvest
under way generally. ?
One of the best crops that has ev
er been cut in this county will be the
result ot the harvest this year. Aa
increase in tonnage estimated aa
high as fifty per cent over former
years Is predicted, and while there
is an unusual amount of cheet In the
alfalfa the first cutting, the quality
ot the product will be very good.
Grain is extremely heavy In all
parts of the country. Heavy rya
crops are being taken off of ground
that has not produced so much feed
before in years.
The indications are that help will
be abundant and wages lower than
at any time since before the war.
While of course it Is impossible
to tell Just yet., what the wages will
be, men have been hired during the
week in considerable numbers, and
the highest wages we have heard
mentioned were $2.00 per day, and
as low as. $1.60 has been mentioned.
A Portland employment agency
sends word to the effect that men
can be had in abundance tor har
vest work at $45.00 per nronth or
$2.00 per day. the employee to pro
vide his bed.
There Is also considerable discus
sion regarding hay prices, but it la
too early yet to tell Just what these
will be. Some growers believe they
will not receive more that $8 or $8
per ton, "while others hope to get aa
much aa $11.
It is a safe prediction however
that the price will be low because ot
the general livestock condition and
the heavy crop.
