As such he will have the deciding voice in the action of the company in connection with the torpedoing of the Gulf Refining Company tanker Oulfllght off the Scilly Islands. The Gulf Refining Company Is a subsidiary of the Stand ard Oil, and the shipping of oil from Texas Is a part of the business of Mr. Veil as head of that department of The present showery weather Is bringing an admixture of good and bad to the ranchers of Umatilla coun ty. The strawberry growers are be !ng damaged by the rains, the farm ers on the reservation are being threatened with damage but the far-! mers of the light land sections are de riving great benefits. When the fi ral balance Is taken, the benefits will be found to more than offset the damages, according to the best opin ions. "The rains are a godsend to the far mers north and west and southwest of Pendleton where the land Is lighter than the rich belt to the east. Ranch ers of those sections declare the heavy moisture will Insure bumper crops. On the reservation and other heavy lands, the rains are causing the wheat to grow rank and there la danger of!
