WHEAT CROP ' Hull I - Ul f IDS 4 Soil Is Torn Loose and Dirt Drifted Like Snow; in Counties of Union and Umatilla Alfalfa Crop Damaged. - , Considerable damage baa re- suited to tha wheat and other crop 1 In Umatilla and Union counties. In eastern Oregon, from the- effects of a remarkable cli- matlo phenomena In the form of a heavy wind, ' which tor loose , the soil and banked dust along the roads, in the fields and against houses and fences, the same as drifting snow. It Is too ' early to make an approximation of the damage, but it is believed , that .about 10 per cent of the s wheat crop is affected. The path of the storm was about five oiilea wide and 20 long. (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Pendleton, Or., Feb. 3. Growing wheat will be, severely damaged as the result of the heavy dust storm yester , day and the day before. The damage can not be estimated yet In the wheat coun try southeast of town In places where the soil Is 'light the wind scooped vast clouds of dirt and carried it for miles over me country, it also drifted the soiT into adjacent fields, as it would now, covering up considerable wheat on the heavier soli and making large drifts across the roads so that travel ing was ertremalv difficult Farmers coming into town from the mirviuvn say cney never saw any thing like it; that In coming to town they were in constant danger of being blown over by the wind. In some places they had to stop to get their bearings before they could proceed. Huge holes were blown in some of the fields and farms of light soil were badly disfig ured. This light dust was carried for miles, some of it clear across the coun ty. Pendleton did not feel the storm to any extensive effect, as the town was protected by the hills, but vast quanti ties of dust were deposited in the val ley and penetrated every crack and crevice, filling houses with a great layer of earth. In the sandf region west of Pendleton reports of a storm of similar nature have been received, nut as there is very little wheat in that section tne damage cannot be large. The alfalfa fields in the neighborhood of Hermlston and Umatilla were In jured to some extent, in the new ter- -ratory that Is being opened up and Which had been nlnwMl In nnnipiMnn tor planting seedT the soli was blown arouna m a similar manner as on the reservation.

Steady winds have wen prevailing throughout the Grand ROnde valley for the past five days. Borne damage to growing crops has been reported. The section of the vel- ley known as Sand Ridge has suf fered most, the wind at this point gaining- velocity and enveloping that part of the valley in clouds of dust and sand. Grain growers advise some damage to wheat In the valley on account of the dust covering the grain. It is thought, however, that the growth wilt be but slightly retarded. The wind has moderated to some extent today and further damage Is not predicted. The wind has dried the ground to such an extent that should it take on much velocity damage to wheat would be considerable. One Thousand Damage. (Special Dispatch to Tba Jnnraal.) " La Grande. Or.. Feb. 3. Owing to the surface soil being dry, -the severe wind storm which raged yesterday from Ladd canyon, on the south, to Elgin, on north, caused some damage to fall , sown wheat. The path of the storm was about five miles wide and 20 long. Residents of Altcel, Imbler and other small towns were compelled to stay Indoors. These storms seldom do dam age. It is not believed that yesterday's storm caused serious damage, probably $1000 all told. Sixth Trip Around World. Dr. James M.

Printer Willis 8. Dunlway la to be punished be cause at a dinner in Portland not so very long ago he arose In his place and warned Senator Fulton and his friends that they could not tamper with the people or the direct primary law, and because, at a later date, he refused to stand In and "put the screws" to Ab bott, his partner, in order to aid in the Fulton-Statement No, 1 senatorial cam paign, r To effect this punishment ti. K. Bean of L&ne county yesterday afternoon In troduced a bill doing away with the elective office of state printer, provid ing for the confiscation, of his .plant bv the state, providing that be be put on a flat salary of. $4000 a year, beginning July 1 of this year, and taking away from him the carta and control of his office. w . , BUI Ballroadad. ; This bill, introduced during the last hour of the afternoon session, was rail roaded through the house to Its third reading by Bean and those with him in the movement, in . the absence of Abbott, Clemens and several other members, forced to early printing, con sidered engrossed, and made a special order of house business for considera tion in committee of the whole Friday morning at 10 o'clock. This over the objections of the conservative members of the house and In direct opposition to the past argument of many of those backing the measure that legislation should take Its regular course and have ample time for consideration and dis cussion by the members of the house,' Bean Claims B.nsrolant Intent Representative Bean contends he Is sincere in his championship of the measure. He says he desires to save the state $30,000 a year that Is now being eaten up by the fee system of the state printer's office. He says Dunlway is the best printer the state has ever had, but he is actu ated by high motives of public duty and a desire to put the printer on a flat salary and save money for the state. SvldSBOs to tha Contrary. Circumstances of the ast and ap pearances of the present, however, are against the contentions of Mr. Bean. It will be remembered that,, following the close of the presidential campaign, at a dinner given by the Republican club of Portland, Mr. Dunlway called Senator Fulton and other speakers to account for thefr attacks upon the primary law at that dinner, contending that the peo- ?le of the state would not stand for it hat rights secured by them after long struggle should be taken away. Following that dinner word was sent to Mr. Dunlway that he would hear from his utterances there made. Later yet, during tlje senatorial fight, great pressure was brought to bear upon Dunlway to have him intercede with Representative Afibott, his part ner, and with Clemens, to secure the release of Speaker McArthur from his fromise not to use the speakership in he senatorial fight. Dunlway stood Arm. and again it was hinted that his political scalp would be sought. The scalping knife made its appearance in the Bean bill of yesterday. . Punitive legislation. Bean is "ferninst" Statement No. 1 and those who favor this principle of direct legislation. Many of his acts during the session have shown this to be true, principal among them being his concurrent sponsorship of the Brooke-Bean bill, to be considered by the house this afternoon, making It a misdemeanor for any candidate for of fice to make a voluntary pledge to the people who elect him. . Because of all of these past facta and present circumstances It is ap parent that the state printer bill of Mr. Bean Is more In the line of punitive than of remedial legislation. Stat Printing Board. In brief, the Bean bill provides that a state printing board shall be created by the bill, to consist of governor, state treasurer and chief justice of the supreme court. This board shall ap point a secretary, who shall be a prac tical printer of at least five years' ex perience and who shall draw a salary of $1800 a year. The elective office of state printer is abolished and tha board is authorized to appoint a state printer, who shall be a man of at least 10 years' experience aa a practical printer and who shall receive an annual salary of $2500. This provision is to become ef fective after the expiration of Mr. Duniway's term of office. Beginning July 1. 1909. the bill says. Dunlway is to receive $4000 a year for the balance of his term. 'After that time the printing board shall have full control and management of the state printer's office and plant. Prior to that time the board Is empowered to con demn and sell auch machinery In the plant as it sees fit, and Is to have a plant, . purchased by the state, ready for operation by July i, 1909. Tho state printer, after July 1 Is to be al lowed to have personal supervision of the work done in the printer's office. The board is to buy all materials In the open market Heavy penalties are pro vided for any neglect or failure on the part of -the printer. Appropriation of $2000 for 1909 and $4000 for 1910 is provided, to pay the salary of Mr. Dunl way during the remainder of his term. Arguments Against Bean's B11L Aside from the fact that it Is con sidered unfair, the Bean bill is held by different members of the housa to be in direct opposition to the constitution in several particulars, it is pom tea out' for one thing, that the oath of office taken by the judges of the su preme court contains the stipulation, 'I will not accept any other office, ex cept judicial offices, during the term for which I have been elected." This portions of the constitutional oath will prohibit a member of the supreme court ' from serving as one of tne , state printing board. It is ar gued. More than this. It Is argued that the constitution forbids the legislature to change any elective office to one ap pointive during the term of office of an incumbent. It is also pointed out that the printer is under contract with the state to do the printing. and Uhat to fulfill this contract he Is required to provide a nlant. This riant is purchased by him and in his property and the state has. no ngm to conaerou it anu lana it wbi from him. It la also contended that the printer was elected under this sys tem and that the legislature can not put him on a salary during his elective term. The Bean bill will cause one of the big fights of the session when it comes up for final consideration Friday morn ing.
