Buffalo Vertlon !T THEIR WORK IN CLATSOP UNSETTLED Highway Department Said to Be Disposed to Compro mrse Rather Than Defend, Negotiations are still in progress between the state highway department and the contracting firm of Peterson & Johnson for a settlement of the ! claims of the contractors against Clat sop county for grading of the Colum i bla river highway.

COUNTY OF GILLIAM IS HELPED BY MOISTURE - THAT ASSURES CROPS Wheat Acreage Below Normal South of Condon; North Will Help Out, BARLEY IN GOOD SHAPE Soma fields Are Weedy to Extant, but on Whole Situation Is Consid ered Quite Encouraging. iy Hyman H. Cohen. Condon. Or., July 8. Gilliam county Is" not going to have its greatest crop of wheat this season, but is going to closely crowd its greatest crop for supremacy. Were it not that the acre age in wheat this season is sorp-iwbat below normal, the county would estab lish a new crop record. Condon still speaks proudly cf the season when the city shipped more wheat during the year than any pri mary shipping point in the entire country. This fact is recalled here to show that Condom is a real wheat center, and is glad of the fact dat it can exhibit a few records to the rest of the country. All that the Condon country and Gilliam county really need to make a big wheat crop, after the sei.d has been sown, is to have plenty of mois ture. ' Moisture was Gilliam county s guardian angel this season. A little less moisture would perhaps havi'been all right, but the Condon section peo ple are not kickers. Big Crop Promised. Despite the fact that the acreage In grain this season is the smallest for a number of years, and that a very large per cent of it is of spring piant 1ng, the kind that seldom gives best results here, Gilliam county, barring accidents or unseasonable weather during the rest of the season, will haul to markets fully 1.2',0.000 bushels of wheat, and possibly more. In the north end of the county there is a much better crop showing than for many years. When it is learned that "Poverty Ridge" will have ns i first real crop in years, it is a good ! example of what may be expected in gives the county the bulk of its wheat crop. As the crop looks at present, the south end may possibly have as good a crop as in 1915, but It is quite likely that the totals will be less, owing to the decreased acreage. The north end's increase will, therefore, give the county its record. Barley crops In the north end of the county are showing excellent growth, and some heavy yields are expected. COUNTY COURT NEWS The commissioners ordered the board of county road viewers to in- vestigate the matter and the advisa- bility of granting the vacation ot Cleveland avenue, north of section line through Cleveland acres, The Pacific Northwest Adjustment. company was informed that upon the recommendation of the road master the bill of Leupold & Voelpel for $26.75 for repairing transit, was not accepted.

E BOARD NOT CONSTITUTIONAL, SAY DEFENDANT LAWYERS Vajidity of Act Creating Com mission Attacked by the Hirsch-Weiss Mfg, Co, Tie constitutionality of the act giv ing authority to the state industrial welfare commission will be attacked as a part of the defense of John G.

Notice to this effect was served on the state yesterday afternoon in con nection with a demurrer to the indict ment. The demurrer was filed by At torneys Joseph & Haney, representing the defendant. The demurrer is based on the grounds that the indictment does not state facts sufficient to con stitute a crime. In support of the demurrer, the at torneys give notice tfiat they will con tend that the legislative act under which the Indictment was returned is in contravention of the constitution of the United States and of the con stitution of the state of Oregon. They will also contend that the in dictment does not state facts suf ficient to give the Industrial Wellaro commission jurisdiction, and that no legal order has been made by t.;c commission making the acts aileged a crime. The facts in the case were admitted at the preliminary hearing. The min imum wage fixed by the commission for experienced factory workers was $S.64 a week. The defendant was em ploying a woman at $7 a week. He contended that she was an apprentict, liaving worked for them less than a year.
