ItliCLA M ATI OX SERVICE
IS INVESTIGATING.
'o -Money .Vim Available But Esti

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ervoir site was withdrawn from entry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.

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.
SHOWERS AT LAST.
Long Drought In Oregon Broken by
Rains Everywhere.

writes: "My husband, James Lee,
firmlv believes he owes his lire to me

onsumDtion seemed Inevitable, when
a friend recommended New Discovery.
We tried It, and Its use has restored

Bake Oven Crops Short.
C. P. 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."
