Crook County Journal: W. D. Bar nett was in from Haystack Tuesday, and informed the Journal man that threshing would begin in his neigh borhood this week. Tlie grain is not as heavy as usual in that section of the county. The rain last week was a much needed visitant and came at an op portune time, for there had been veryllttle grain cut so far in the dis trict covered by it, and the hay crop was so nearly up that only a small amount was damaged to amount to anything. Ed Parker was down frcm the ranch on Crooked River Monday to get some repairs for his mowing ma chine. He reports having just begun cutting the second crop of alfalfa, which was slightly demoralized by the recent rain, but not enough to damage the crop. Dick Breese was down from his farm at the head of Gravy Gulch on Poverty flat last week, and reports that he has his hay and grain all in One would naturally infer from the name of the locality where he lives that it was not a very desirable placer but Dick has some of the finest hogs and cattle in tho country, not to say anything of his fine farm. The tract of land known as Agency Plains, to which land there was a rush of settlers last winter and this spring, is now completely covered with little cabins of the homestead ers and fencing and improving are going on at a great rate. This land is pronounced excellent wheat soil and will produce as much as the land in Sherman county. Rev. B. F. Harper returned last week from an extended trip in the Sisters country. Ho reports crops as being good in that section, and at Cllne Falls he saw as fine wheat as ever grew in the Walla Walla val ley, thus showing that the desert, under irrigation, will bo a wheat pro ducer second to nothing In tho North west. While at Sisters he establish ed a Sunday school that bids fair to be permanent and prosperous. Grant County News: The fire boys are putting up a new house for their old apparatus. People coming In from the hills report that huckleberries are getting ripe and that there will be an abun dance of them. Tho storm of last week retarded haying throughout the country for several days, but did no particular damage. R, C. Boggs, who lives three miles east of Monument, last week killed one of the largest rattlesnakes on his ranch ever killed In tho county. The reptile .measured four feet one and one-half Inches long and waB nine Inches In circumference. There are 13 rattles and a button. The wheat crop Is not--turning out near as well as waB expected. 'rne grain looked well, with plenty of straw, but tho average 'yield In this soctlon Js only about 32 bushels per acre, ft Is a good thing that the 'v farmers of tho valley have gone into diversified farming and are not now dopendlng altogether upon wheat. Lebanon Express-Advano. MAY NOT CELEBRATE. I THREE BUTTON SACK The Big Looks as Though Labor Day Would Not Be Observed in Pendleton. The Central Labor Union, compos ed of delegates from all tho unions of the city, has not yet decided what shall be done regarding tho celobra tlon of Labor day this year. The mat ter was taken up at a meeting of the Central Union two or three weeks ago and discussed at-some length the proposition most favored being the holding of a picnic and having a grand street parade in tho morning, It was decided to refer tho propd- sltlon to the various unions for an expression of opinion and tho ropro1 sentatlves of the different organlza- tlons were Instructed to present the matter to their unions, but as yet no reports have been receivde by the central body as to what action has been taken. Until the reports from the separate unions come in no further action will be taken by the Centraf Union, and It looks at present as though the day would lie allowed to pass without public observation In Pendleton, There was no meeting of tho Central Union last evening, owing to tho fail ure of a quorum of members to put in an appearance and it is doubtful If arrangements can be made In time for a celebration.
