Pioneer Illcd to Death. The people of Long Creek were shocked last Sunday afternoon at the report brought In from Charles Bal ance's ranch that Henry H. Davis was dead, says the Long Creek Ran ger. Dennis P, King, who happened to be passing the place discovered that something was wrong and came to town and notified Commissioner Allen Porter -who went to the Bal lance house and discovered the dead body of Mr. Davis. He hud been tending to tho place while Mr. Bal lance and family were up in the mountains gathering huckleberries and Mr. Davis met his death alone. Death was due to a hemorrhage which was caused from an old afflic tion on his left leg. The circumstan ces surrounding his ,deah will never be known, but from the evidence gathered at the coroner's Jury there Is little doubt of the cause. Blood stains were numerous about the ranch and showed where Mr. Davis had walked about before he became tool weak to get around. Heavy Yields in Idaho. The returns from the harvest fields show the yield this year to be the largest for several seasons and, with the assurance of a good market the farmers are Jubilant, says an item from Culdesac. It is estimated that the fall' wheat for the entire Culde sac section win average 35 bushels to the acre, but several fields have made averages from 45 to. 50 bushels an acre. The farmers who this year plant ed their summer fallow land to corn are highly pleased with the results. The corn has made a thrifty growth and Is filled with well-developed ears. The value of the crop Is much in ex cess of all the labor entering Into the care of the summer fallow and will provide excellent feed for stock dur ing the winter. It Is estimated that 1000 acres of corn are cultivated In the Culdesac section this year. Si ill Waiting for Lights. Last night Pendleton was again in darkness and the current had not yet been turned on at 3 o'clock this afternoon- However at that time the Lelectric people were expecting to see the lights on at almost any minute. It Is explained that the delay in turning on the current is due to the difficulty In drying out the machinery at the power plant. Though the plant Is uninjured the machinery became soaked by the flood and It must be thoroughly dried before the plant can be used.

The annual call for men to harvest and pick the crops and fruit of the Taklma valley has been issued and the scarcity of men willing to work has caused a slump In the local la bor market, says a Yakima Item.
