Hrltlsh and French warships will be

PORTLAND, Ore.. Mrch 16. Th

out one of the largest wheat crops
it has ever produced. If the weather
conditions between now and harvest

weather not be as good a the farm

to last years In size, according to
i well-informed grainmen, as there is
1 enough new acreage planted In wheat
to offset any provable deficiency in
the old acreage..
In all parts of the Pacific north

At the request of W. C. E. Prultt,
newly uppolnted county game warden.
District Attorney Fred Stelwer has
moved for the dismissal of the com
plaint against Representative J. T.
lllnkle and Dr. H. S. Garfield charg
ing them with shooting ducks, after
sundown. The request was made In
writing yesterday upon the grounds of
"Insufficient evidence" and the dist
rict attorney mailed the motion .. to
Justice of, the Peace Dodd of Hermls
ton last night.
This, the first official action taken
by the new deputy game warden,
brings to an end a ense that became
more or less of a political Issue.
Hlnkle nnd Garfield were arrested sev
eral months ago at the Instance of the
deputy warden at Hermlston and E. F.
Averll), then district warden, filed
the complaint with the district attor
ney. A trial wa held at Hermlston
and resulted in a hung Jury.
Several times the cusp was set fot
trial but each time Representative
Hlnkle secured its postponement. In
the meantime the legislature con
vened nnd Representative Hlnkle was
one of those instrumental in lifting
the scalp of District Warden Averlll
and securing the appointment of Pru
ltt. At the same time he proposed
the name of Dr. Garfield to the gov
ernor for appointment to the new
fish and game commission and has
been vigorously active in the doctor's
behalf since despite the fact that the
other members of the Umatilla county
legislative delegation have refused to
support him.
The trial-of the two men waa set
for lust week, after two postpone
ments, and the day before It was to
oome up, was again postponed. The
district attorney wa ready to prose
cute It but bowed to the request of
the new warden, it being his policy to
