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.

Hop Pickers Are Scarce.
The annual call for men to harvest
