'o -Money .Vim Available But Esti mates Are lU-ing Made for Future Kcference IToliiuiimr) Work Al rvutly. XHmo 1' the Government iu the Harney Country Aria Dbrlct. Jostph Jacobs, consulting engineer of the U. S. reclamation service, and E. I. Davis, an assistant, are here In vestigating the Irrigation possibilities, ays the Burns Tinus-Herald. Considerable preliminary work was done here by the government several years ago when the Silvies valley res ervoir site was withdrawn from entry and surveys made of the lands sua cptible, but the project was finally left and work begun upon other Irri gation schemes. Mr. Jacobs gives out no encourage, ment for any definite action by the government in the immediate future, but says that the Hermlston project Is practically completed and the Klamath irrigation scheme sufficient ly advanced that the reclamation ser vice Is looking for other fields of la bor. While no money of any consequence Is now available for the undertaking of a project of any great magnitude, the reclamation fund is accumulating quite rapidly and soon there will be ufflclent funds to begin operations on some project Mr. Jacobs states that he is here slmplv to familiarize himself with this section so as to be In a position to make suggestions at the proper time. He has visited the Silvies valley res ervoir site and pronounces it one of the finest he has seen. The gentleman's time Is limited at this time and he will have to take his departure Monday for Shaniko where he will meet other representatives, j but he will return here later for a more extended tour and examination of this project " The Times-Herald views this visit as portending some action by the government in the near future, al though Mr. Jacobs gave out no infor mation that would lend to such a conclusion. The time Is ripe for such a move and the service would lnd local peo ple more than ready to do their part toward the reclamation, or rather ir rigation of this great valley. throughout the week, and quite cool on the 13th.

MYERS TAKES HIS BRIDE. Ajrtxl Salem Man Outwits Sons and Detectives. Having completely outwitted pri vate detectives employed by the sons of Joseph Meyers to watch him, the wealthy Salem merchant whom his sons have sought to have declared In sane, was married at 11:30 o'clock Wednesday morning to Zenalde Du Retta, says the Oregon Daily Journal. The ceremony was performed by Clr cult Judge Morrow In his chambers at the court house while the detec tives were scurrying around the Port land hotel, where they supposed Mey. ers to be. Unless some new move Is executed by the sons, their father has appar ently completely triumphed. The ob Jtct of the Insanity complaint was to prevent the marriage, and the Mey ers boys supposed that they had at ltct postponed the affair until after the alienists report and a hearing Is given on evidence that they desire to present to show that their father is Irsane. This hearing Is set for Fri day before Judge Webster, but nearly everyone except the sons and their at ti rney have looked on the proceedings as a Joke, and neither of the princi pals to the marriage were worried by the 'fact that the bridegroom's In sanity has not yet been officially determined.

Wilson, a farmer of the Bake Oven community, Is, In the city today for provisions, and says the wheat crop in that section is far below the low estimates which had been made, says The Dalles Chronicle. The best yield yet reported," said Mr. Wilson, was between nine and 10 bushels to the acre. We had estimated an aver age crop of between 10 and 15 bush els after the unusaully warm weather. Nearly all the farmers near Bake Oven have finished heading and most o fthe grain Is now In the stack. It was the dry weather In June that injured our crop. The later heat would have done little damage had we had a good drenching rain in June. Most of us sowed our wheat too thick and It burnt, thus reducing the yield considerably before the hot wave struck us." Scandinavians Meet. Great Falls, Mont, Aug. 20.
