240 HARVESTERS
IN USE THIS YEAR
CMATILLA COUNTY LEADS
wrrn combined harvesters
E. L. Smith Una Sold 32 Holt Ma
chines Tills Ytiir and Sold SO Last
' Year Total of Over. 200 Holt Ma
chines In the County and About 35
Other Muclilura Total Investment
In Combined Haryretcra and Outfits
In the County Is $1,176,000.
When the wheat harvest opens In
Umatilla county this year, at least 240
combined harvesters will be In opera
tion In the county.
E. L. Smith, the well known imple
ment man ot this city, has sold 32
Holt combined harvesters this season
nnd there are now a total cf over 200
Holt machines In the county as well as
about 35 other kinds of machines.
Last year Mr. Smith sold 30 new
Holt machines In the county besides
several second-hand machines, but the
sales of new machines this year ex
ceed the sales of any previous year.
Most of the machines sold by Mr.
Smith this season have been 16-foot
machines which are pulled by 26
horses and will cut on an average of
200 aeres per week or 33 1-3 acres
per day. They cost on an average of
J1800 each.
A new 14-foot and several 20-foot
machines have been sold by Mr. Smith,
but the majority of the sales have
been 16-foot machines, which are
adapted to all kinds of ground and
which can be handled successfully In
the foothills and over uneven ground
found In many places In the wheat
belt.
Mr. Smith said to the East Ore
gonlan today that every effort Is be
ing made by the Holt harvester peo
ple to discover some satisfactory pow
er for their combined harvesters. In
order to do away with horse power.
Horses are becoming so valuable and
the work is so heavy on them that
farmers desire steam or gasoline en
gine power to replace horse power.
A gasoline engine machine was
tested near Walla Walla last year and
further tests will be made this sea
son. However, Mr. smith Deneves tnai
the most satisfactory substitute for
horse power will be the turbine en
gine, which Is now coming into gen
eral use. There Is no oscilatlon to the
turbine and It can be attached to the
harvester more easily than a rotating
engine and he looks for it to be adopt
ed as a harvester power some time.
The machines sold this year In this
county have been delivered at Helix,
Athena, Adams, Pendleton and other
points and he finds that many station
ary threshing outfits will not be used.
this season At an, i"y
placed by combined harvesters In
many Instances.
With horses valued at about 3100
per head and tiie combined harvester
at $1800 it is seen that a large In
vestment is required for each machine
used, Twenty-slx horses at $100 each.
$2600; one machine at $1800: z sets
of harness. $5.00: total, I4uu invest
ment for each machine used. With
240 machines In use In Umatilla coun
ty It is seen that the amount Invested
in combined harvester outfits alone,
to say nothing of other metnoas 01
harvesting, is $1,176,000.
JOKE ON JUDGE FEE.
Juror Played Deaf' and Was Ex
cused From Duty,
The La Grande Observer tells the
following Joke perpetrated by a
Union county farmer on Mayor
James A. Fee of this city, who was
at the time circuit Judge:
D. H. McWaltera, who is attending
tv,i. term of the circuit court as a
luror. related a rather amusing tncl
dent In years gone Dy, wnen juage
jRmes A. Fee, who Is now mayor of
Pendleton, was on the bench and
was holding a term of court in
Union. It was during the spring
time, and nearly all of the farmers
tried to get excused, in ract, tney
could not really afford to remain two
or three weeks away from their
homes.
Freeman Ladd was one of the ju
nine Mountain Itanoli Sold.
The Blue Mountain ranch, on
Butter creek, a short . distance
from Echo, has been disposed
of by the company formerly
owning it to Cyrus F. Clapp, of
Seattle. Today a deed transfer
ring the ranch to Mr. Clapp was
filed for record at the court
house. The consideration named
In the deed is $1, but In addition
a $15,000 mortgage held by Lev
Ankeny is assumed by the . pur
chaser. The Blue Mountain
ranch was formerly owned by
Llbby McBee, and was sold by
him to a cqmpany of which
George H. Stevenson was the
president and H. F. Connors, at
torney for the O. R. & N. com
pany, was the secretary.
rors along with Mr. McWalters, and
Mr. Ladd remarked "I am going to
get excused." Mac. who had seen so
many who had made similar re
quests refused, told Mr. Ladd that
the luilge Mas excusing very few and
he doubted if he could be. Mr. Ladd
smiled and Invited Mac to accom
pany him to the court house and he
would show him how easily it could
be accomplished.
Mr. Lfcdd walked up to the court
and notified Judge Fee that he would
like to be excused. His honor asked
Mr. Ladd upon what grounds he de
sired to be excused. Mr. Ladd turn
ed his head to one side and asked
the court, "How is that?" The court
repeated his desire to know why Mr.
Ladd wished to be excused. The sec
ond time Mr. Ladd turned his other
ear to the court and asked him to
repeal the question a little louder.
The court took In a deep breath
and raised his deep voice to the point
where the prisoners In the jail await
ing sentence, became alarmed, but
r.ot sufficient to daze Mr. Ladd In
the least, who for the third time plac
ed his hand behind his ear and re
marked: "Judge, you will have to
talk a little louder." Without fur
ther Injulry Judge Fee turned to the
clerk and ordered him to excuse Mr.
Ladd.
Mr. Ladd lost no time in returning
to his home, and the joke was so good
that the few In the court room at the
time did not have the nerve to In
form the court how easily he might
have cured Mr. Ladd's deafness, and
this Is the first time It has ever been
given out.

Washington Sheepmen Will ' Pay
Fines and Come to Oregon. .
Dr. W. H. Lytle, state sheep Inspec
tor, left this afternoon for Milton for
the purpose of performing duties
pertaining to his position. The
Oregon sheepmen who have been us
ing the Oregon portion of the We
naha reserve for grazing purposes are
now starting their bands towards the
summer ranges. Two different bands
state line and another grower has
served notice that he will cross in
the near future.
The sheepmen who have crossed
thus far have refused to dip their
sheir sheep In accordance with the
quarantine proclamation of the gov
ernor. Instead, they have expressed
themselves as preferring to pay the
Ines that may be Imposed upon them
for violations of the quarantine pro
visions. Under the law anyone vio
lating any of the provisions becomes
subject to a fine of from $260 to
$1000 and Is liable for damages In
case Oregon sheep become Infected
through the outside flocks.
Up to this time Judge Wolverton
has not passed upon the application
of tfcp Washington men for an In
junction to prohibit, the sheep com
mission from enforcing the law at
this time.
Will Prosecute Offenders.
This Afternoon complaints were
made out before District Attorney
Phelps tgainst the Washington men
who have Infringed upon the law, and
they will be arrested at once,
It is evidently the Intention Of the
sheep commission to enforce the law
to the letter, and In consequence the
Washington growers will have to
answer for their conduct In the cir
cuit court.

pects to be here for two or three
