Prepara tlons for the actal ralnlnr of the sub marine F-4 are being rapidly com !!eted. It Is believed the vessel may be brought to the surface before night Hope has not been entirely ab. nndoned that some of tne men still will be alive despite the fact they have been submerged for more than 41 hours.

Wire Worm at Work at Cold Springs; No Army Worms Found EXPERT FKOM AGRICULTlIt.U COLMXK FINDS MI CH WHEAT HAS BEEN HURT. The so-called army worm I doing no damage In the Cold Springs section but some damage Is being caused In that aectlon by the wire worm and particularly by a specie claused by A. L. Lovett, of the agricultural col lege, a a false wire worm. On the Allle Kerr ranch below Holdman on middl Cold Spring more Injury had been worked than elsewhere and Mr. Kerr had reaeeded 134 acre of wheat. Fart of the damage may have been due to the cold weather. This la the substance of the report made by Mr. Lovett following a visit to the Cold Springs section yester day. He made the trio by auto with E. W. McComas, L. P. Gambee, high school agriculturist and E. F. Aver 111. The false wire worm when It be come an adult la the atink bug- beetle, aaya Mr. Lovett. On his trip he ae cured spcclmenta of the various worms that are doing the damage and also nome stink bugs. He Is going to In vetdigate the subject farther with I view of suKgeMIng the most practic able method of dealing with the wire worm. It Is possible the best method will be to deal with the stink bug; In asmuch a the bug crawls but does not fly It may be possible to fight him by mean of trenches such a are used against the army worm. According to Lovett the army worm found In Coomb canyon I not the regular army worm of the middle states but I another species of worm mat ha assumed the army worm hubitii.

Roberta Is a booster for the Cold Spring road but la also favorable to An Improved road from Fendloton to Umatilla. HI letter is a iou. Editor Eaat Oregonlan. Pendleton, DArnn Imnrovemcnt thought cf Umatilla county aeem to be cen tered at thla time on water tranpor ani the beat and moat practl- i m.m of getting our product to tr. Columbia river, which will oon mean an open route to the tea. The solution to thU problem eem to be the hard surface road capable of handling freight by mean of the automobile truck. It will take mon y to build road of thl character but It would be the best paying pub lic Investment we could make at thU time. Now, let ua In the different section of this county not be too nelflBh In this matter . and bring about a condition of fretting which would hinder and lose for us those benefit for many yeara. We ahould agree on ome plan that would be aattafactory to the taxpavora of all portion of the coun ty and not try to boost or build up one section or one town by tearing down another. It would be Impracticable to haul the great tonnage of wheat from the north aide of the county to a hard aurface road on the Umatilla rivet In order to reach the Columbia river and we could not consistently B8k the people along the Umatilla river ond from the south part of the county to cross tho rlvor and climb the hill to the Cold Springs road In order to reach the Columbia. By building both theso roada and a rond to tin pouth part of the coun ty via rilot Rock, a fair and equitable division of tho public money would be spent to the satisfaction of our people. While we In a measure have been orposed to the excessive bonding sen timent of the present time, believing that we are handing- down to the next generation many hard problema Tor them to solve, we believe this Is a case where we could stand a rea aonable amount of bonded Indebted ness with profit to ourselves and leave something of value and bene fit to the coming generation, but If " "Peci to build or assist In the building of these permanent high ways by means of the bonding- ays tern we ahould understand that lack of general good feeling- and In terest In thla matter would mean failure. Therefore, lot us not be too selfish or antagonistic In this matter of so much general publlo Interest, Each of these three roads would have a local beneficial feature pecul lar to themselves. , The river road down the Umatilla would connect with a through high way reaching from Idaho to Port land, thus giving the towns on this route the benefits of an lmmenae through travel. The Pilot llock highway mleht In time be utilised by means of the au tomobile truck for hauling the lum ber from the mountains above the river route, where It could be easily distributed to the territory tributary to the Umatilla river. Thus giving us a good local Industry from our own natural resources. The Cold Springs highway, aside from Its terminal advantages at the liver, would give the wheat farmer of the east end an easy means of exchanging his grain for tho Irriga tion products at and near the west end of the highway. With a neighborly, helpful spirit It does seem that we should soon b reaping the benefits from this natur al advantage ho near at hand. GEO. n. ROBERTS. yiAyi ft NUWMUKW iTfrfc mm mMrm BIW.

That was their first, knowledge that he was not at the shingle mill where h had been working. Mr. Pearson took the first train to Pendleton, arriving here at 2:40. and his worst fears were con firmed when he called at the under taking parlors. He declares the boy was evidently enticed away from Castle Rock by an older man and thinks he was on his way home when he fell from the trucks of the car upon which he waa riding. He Is heartbroken over the tragic happening. An Inquest la being hold this after noon over the body and at 3:30 the funeral will be held In the Support from an uaxpeeted quar ter for the Cold Springs road arrived here today In the form of a commit tee of Umatilla project farmers rep reseating the northeasters portion of the project. The committee Is com posed of George Roberts. Frank! Waugaman and S. R. Oldaker and was limed to consult with the Cold Springs road committee to ascertain the facts regarding the probable route of the road to the rtvrr landing at Cold Springs. The project farmers desire the road One Is to get and the other reason they desire the road Is that It will provide the settlers of that por tion of the project with a very de sirable road into Pendleton. The am ount of benefit the project will derive from the road will be dependent some what on the route and possibly upon the building of a short connecting road. However It is considered these desires can be easily met. According to Frank Waugaman the Cold Springs route already affords the shortest road to the northeastern part of the Umatilla project and .the situ ation will be greatly Improved If the hard surraee road Is built. A new road Is now being built from the project to Cold Springs landing and according to Mr. Waugaman It Is the Intention of the settlers there to form a port district if the wheat far mers do not do so. A meeting between the Cold Spring road committee and the committee from the project Is being held her this afternoon. WEALTHY HARNEY RANCHER ENDS LIFE BY SHOOTING BEN A.
