Probably the greatest number of
acres of wheat ever harvested in one
day in Umatilla county, were harvest
ed yesterday on the reservation ranch
of John Crow by his combine har
vester and "caterpillar" engine. Ac
cording to B. F. Trombly,- machinist
for the Pendleton Auto company who
spent yesterday at the Crowe ranch,
a total of 65 acres of wheat were cut,
threshed and sacked by the Crowe
outfit.
Trombley reclares that the "cater
pillar" is the greatest inovation for
the big grain growers the county has
ever seen and when it Is remembered
that 25 acres is considered a big day's
work for a horse or mule outfit, it
would seem that the new machine
has a pretty good chaace to become
popular.
There are now three of these ma
chines operating in the vicinity of

She had been a sufferer for many
years with rheumatism.
With committeemen present from
the west end of the county and from
Pendleton a spirited and interested
meeting was held in the Commercial
club rooms last night and the subject
of how to Induce the government to
proceed with the extension of the
Umatilla project was discussed pro

At Athena last night a spirited con

attempt to pass on ordinance forbid

proposed ordinance followed the lines
of an ordinance In effect in Eugene.
It failed to carry by one vote. Had
the ordinance passed it would have

the government turning the exten
sion over to private parties, Judge
Ellis predicted the government would
move very slowly should any such
step as that be proposed.
Discussing the subject of govern
ment versus private development of
the extension. F. B. Swayze held that
at this time the government is pref
erable for the reason that people have
no knowledge of the forces back of
the private company that is seeking to
obtain control of the project. Ac
cording to Mr. Swayze he might favor
private development if he knew who
was to do the work and that they had
the money. However, he desired to
"be shown." This sentiment was shar
ed by others present.
During the session talks were made
by all members of the committee and
by others present. Most of the dis
cussions related to the best means of
placing the proposition before the sec
retary and before the army engineers.
It was generally conceded that efforts
should be confined to showing a
strong interest in the proposition and
to arranging for social courtesies for
the secretary and visiting engineers.
The task of presenting the eng'neer
ing features of the proposed exten
sion will be left with the Oregon rec
lamation men who are understood to
be favorable to the extension by the
government.

A few small lots have been disposed

of the present market quotations
which are about 78 cents per bushel
The growers seem to feel that the
prices will be better In a few weeks
while the buyers seem to be content

the field actively.
But though there has been no
wheat selling, large quantities of bar-
ey have changed hands. The high
price of the old crop made those who
use barley, Inclined to wait for the
new crop with the result that several
thousand bushels have been sold as
fast as harvested. The ruling price
has been one dollar though there were
some early sales made at figures high

a question whether he can come hack
himself or not.
There Is a possibility that Bill Lang
