" Little or no rain fell in the district during the .week except is central Arizona where goou showers occurred, and they resulted in wash ing out a dam near Florence, causing a shortage of irrigation water in that locality. - 'A'emper atores averaged considerably above normal throughout the district except along the imme diate coast where fog prevailed to : greater ertent than nmial. The warm dry weather was favorable for harvesting and threat in but aggravated tha' forest fire situation in. toe north I'acifo states. - , s ' Oraln Crops Harvesting and threshing of wheat, barley 'and cot proceeded rapidly in the Pacific Northwest, under the influence of the dry and warm weather. In Nevada, tha harvesting of wheat and barley Las practically been completed and threshing is in progress, yields being good - in the west and south portions and poor in the northeast. Harvesting of these crops is nearly finished also in tha early 'sections of Utah, Washington and Oregon. Oats are ripening rapidly in uorth vertera Washington and some have already been harvested. Corn is making good progress in the Boise valley of Idaho, but is late in Oregon; in California it is fair to good. Preparing of ground for tha sowing of fall wheat was begun in Washington. Truck Oreo and Potatoes A good crop of lima beans is being gathered in California. Potatoes and late vegetables need rain where not irrigated but where irrigated ant doing well ia Oregon and a good crop of potatoes is being dug in California, I Hay FiaMs - Irrigated alfalfa is doing well in Utah and Washington and the weather is especially favor able for wed development. Alfalfa seed ia being threshed in southwestern Arizona. In extreme western Nevada . an exceljent second crop ef al falfa has been secured and in the Fallon district, the third crop is making good progress. In ir rigated localities in Washington tha cutting- of tiie third crop is -becoming general. ' Range and Llvsttock The effects of the long-continued drouth are very Boticeabla on the ranges ia an the states in this district Only in Arizona are stock and ranges improving, but even in that state rain is needed in the northeast portion. Fall ronnd ups are beginning in southeastern Arisona. Short age of water on the ranges in Nevada has made it necesary to remove some of the cattle and tbcugh dry feed i holding out well, the cattle in some localities are losing weight . In Jixe cca the eatUe are also showing the effect of abort feed, but in California the dry and stubble feed is holding out well and stock are generally in good condition. ' . : Fruit ' Peaches are ripening in Utah and Washington, a large crop of good quality ia being shipped from Payetto valley, Idaho, and an excellent crop is being gathered in California. - Apples are de veloping - well in Nevada " and Idaho. Prunes arc doing well in'aal sections; harvesting is well advanced in California and has begun in early eastern districts of Washington. The almond har vest ia wall started in California, and walnuts am sizing up nicely. In many vineyards in the San Joaquin valley muscat grapes are ripening prematurely and vines generally show lack of water. - . ' ; Mlaoeltaneoua Crops Early maize is being harvested in but in parts of the Phoenix section cotton ana maize were damaged by high winds and hail l ice is heading nicely in California The pick ing of hops has been started in California and will begin soon in Oregon. Sugar beets have been damaged by inserts in Twin Falls county. Idaho. , Overbeek A Cook Co. report from the Chicago Triune as follows: "Tha full weight of the numerous adverse influences against which the grain and pro vision trade has worked of late culminated in one great depressing factor, the effect of which there was no standing out against yesterday. So long as they are the main factor few traders want to be long any grains or provisions. A majority of the trade look for lower prices. A few shsrp observers look for a break and a rail) today. , "Oats Despite Che weakness and decline in corn, oats are only 11 13c off from the recent high point. Farmers are not selling eats and the movement is rather below the seasonal averager Trading in January and March deliveries is ex pected to start in grains today.

Look ing at the treaty as a whole, is it to be wondered that we are asking- to guaran tee by our arms and our resources the territorial status which It creates? "I have not sought to propound or es tablish any thesis beyond this: The treaty as it stands cannot be enforced. This is admitted by Its proponents. The treaty as it stands is but a harbinger of ether and greater wars. This being true, the question must come why ' was this treaty ao drawn and the vanquished compelled to etgn it? It may be when we get all the documents this will ap pear. And yet. In spite of all these great duties and obligations we aaaume for the future. In spite of our great con tribution In men and resources to the successful fruition of the 1 great joint enterprise which we entered, it seems to be proposed that we are to waive all participation In the benefits of this treaty and that we are to add further1 to the general burdens of the people by ourselves compensating our cltlsens who have suffered losses In this war. TASK IS WEIGHTY " vThe weJitht of the task rentlnjf upon us Is not light, but the people demand that we fully perform It. In accordance with our sworn duty. We can In this matter take the Ipse dixit of ho mrfn. "I have put before the people 'as tersely as I could the salient features of this treaty, so ' that knowing- them, their counsel might assist us in our work. For one of : the great defects thus far Incident to the treaty Is that too few minds have functioned on its provisions, and perusing ir one finds It impossible te believe that any respon sible mind had aought to coordinate Its provisions and trace out their ultimate logical conclusions, f -'"Nothing In all our history has called for a clearer perception- of present and future, a keener or Juster understanding; of our free Institutions, a clearer vision of the mighty mission ef our great na tion in the world, or the dedication ef a purer or loftier patriotism than the consideration- of this treaty. "Unless we shall have the guidance of the Infinite wisdom we shall fall In our duty and, wrecking- our beloved country, earn the odium of Its treason able betrayance." .
