WHEAT NEAR WESTON.
Considerable Has Lodged, But Yields
Will Still be Bla.
weston, juiy 15. Some of the
farmers of this section are com
plaining of damage done .thtir grain
by the heavy rains which havo oc
curred at various times since the first
of tho month. While taken as a
whole the rains were a blessing, still
they occasioned many individual
losses.
On one plot south of town 100 acres
of grain Avere badly flattened: on an
other 15 acres out of 80 were beaten
down. 'Some of the wheat on Wild
Horse creek has "lodged" to such an
extent that the owners arc glad they
did not put 'in more.
Reports received hero from the res
ervation-say that nearly 2,000 acres
of wheat have fallenHhore and much
of it will be good for nothing excoptj
hay while some is so badly lodncd
and tangled that It will be a total!
loss.
Adjacent to town there are several
fields which have been flattened and
tangled to such an extent that noth
ing but Tiay can be hoped for this
season, and considerable extra ex
pense will be necessary in order to
get even this. Other fields are being
reaped with binders in order to wive
all possible out of the crop.
Those crops which are not affected
are showing up to give banner yields
this season, probably as a recom
pense for the damage which has
been done by wind and rain ana In
many places spring Wheat has filled
to such an extent that 50 bushel
yields are freely predicted. Taken as
a whole throughout tho county the
rains which caused the damage will
result in $50 of benefit to everv $10
of loss.
Harvesting will soon be in full
swing on nearly every farm near here
and many places are already com-1
menclng to reap the golden reward
of the summer's labors.
had Just come in on a special from
Walla Walla. Although harvest is
near at hand and hindered many
from going who would otherwise
have attended, the picnic was a good
success.
A special left Walla Waila at a: 30
in tho morning, taking representa
tives from tho Walla Walla, Dayton,
Waltsburg and one or two other
lodges to Prcewater. Nearly all the
excursionists were from Walla Walla
however. From tho other directions,
Weston and AJthcna sent a few ex
cursionists, but there wore nono from
Pendleton. Special rates had been
granted by the O. R., & N.
The Walla Walla Modern Wood
men deserve credit for their enter

cial was run over, from Walla Walla
at 0, bringing about 200 dancers.
This returned at midnight.
