OTHER SOCIALISTS WILLI!
TO HELP END EUROPEAN WAR
BY ED L. KEEX,
CCopyright 1915 by the United Press.)
LONDON, July S. "I welcome
wholeheartedly the Herman socialists
:manifesto calling upon the workers of
other belligerents to use their endeav

This was the statement of Ramsay
McDonald, noted labor-leader of Eng
land, In an interview with the I'nlted
Press.
"It is only the beginning and must
be regarded as such,'' McDonald saya.
"I regret the manifesto deals so much
with the past, because we are not
oulte in a temper to discuss that just
yet. At the same time, I think It is
the duty of the working clauses of
other belligerents to respond to this
manifesto and state the conditions
under w hich they are prepared to sup
port a peace propaganda."

50-Mile Wind at Hermiston
Tears Trees and Wires Down
(Special Correspondence.)
HERMISTON, July 6. The most
costly wind this country has ever
known came from the northeast with.
out warning, about 9 o'clock Saturday
night. Continuing until past mid
night It blew at Its hardest between
forty-five and fifty miles an hour,
while the average was between twen
ty-five and thirty mile The ex
tremely high temperature made It al
most suffocating ai the air was a
cloud of land and dust.
This is the second wind of Its kind
In many years, though none ever io
destructive to vegetation.
The hardest northwest wind rec
ord li fifty-eight miles but little dam
age was cauaed by It, coming from
that direction.

Biggest Crowd at
Springs to Spend
the 4th Weekend
IUXGHAM ENTERTAINS 2000
PEOPLE WHO SEEK ItKSOKT
FOR OVER SI X DA V.
The largest crowd ever gathered at
Bingham Springs celebrated the
Fourth of July there yesterday and a
considerable part of It remained over
for today. Messrs. Hoch and Van
Dusen, proprietors, estimate that 2000
people were at their resort over Sun
day and certainly the place fairly
swarmed with men, women and chil
dren. Automobiles by the score streamed
Into Bingham all day Saturday and
far Into the nignt and by 5 o'clock
yesterday morning other cars began
to arrive. Others went to Olbbon on
the train and staged It In while not
I raw rod in a horseback. All UD
and down the river In every shady
spot camps were pitched and autos
were parked in every available, space
so that the place looked like an auto
show.
Though they had prepared to take
care of a large crowd, the proprietors
could not begin to give accommoda
tions for all. Many anticipated such
a condition and went prepared, tak
ing both bed and food. Others found
such accommodations as they could,
doubling up with others, sleeping out
In the barns, In autoa or in the tim
ber and eating when and where they
fnuld. The proprietors ran a con
tinuous dining room and managed to
feed 600 people three times a day.
The swimming pool was the great
attraction and was literally alive
with humanity day and night. An
epen air dancing pavilion also drew
crowda during afternoon and evening.
Firecrackers were kept popping by
the small boy lest the adult foget the
nature of the celebration. ,

ONE THIRD COUNTY
WHEAT COOP LOST
BY RECENT WINDS
Conservative Estimates by Growers
and Buyers Show Damage to Crop
has Been Considerable.
KO SECTION HAS ESCAPED
Even the Heavy Lands on tlu' Reser
vation Have 1'olt the Kf feet Most
of tlie Ildd.s are Spitted and Some
of the Farmers Kay 50 to 100 Acre
Not Worth Cutting.
A third of Umatilla county's wheat
crop for 1915 is the toll taken from
the farmer by the recent winds, ac
cording to conservative estimates by
growers and buyers. This does not
necessarily mean a third of the nor
mal crop for, until recent winds, the
prospects were bright for an abnor
mal yield.
The damage done has been general
all over the county. No section has
escaped and hardly a farmer but has
suffered from the killing winds. Two
weeks ai!o considerable damage was
done in some sections by cold winds
and last week hot winds did a great
deal more damage. Even the heavy
lands on the. reservation and in the
Athena-Adams section have felt the
damaging effects.
The damage la apparent even to
the unexpert eye. The golden tint
which betokens the perfect crop con
trasts this year with the pale hue that
signifies burnt-out wheat and the
bluish caste that tells of straw cured
up before the heads had matured
Moss all of the fields are spotted and
some farmers declare they have field
of 50 to 100 acres hurt so badly that
it will not pay to cut them. The grain
is so shriveled that, even If cut, much
of it would blow over during the pro
cess of threshing. The reseeded fields
were particularly hard hit, according
to reports from farmers.
The barley loss will not be as great
in proportion as the wheat loss. There
was less barley than usual sown this
year and much of it was so far ad
vanced that the winds did but little
damage. In some sections, too, some
of the wheat was advanced beyond the
stage where much injury could be
done.
One result of "the damage will be
the necessity of testing the grain.
Since 1909 the Umatilla county grain
has been so uniformly heavy that buy
ers have not felt the need of testing
for weight, but this year there will be
considerable light wheat and many
light tests are anticipated. The test
ing will be difficult in view of the fact
that the light grain will be pretty well
mixed with the heavy grain.
Another result of the damage al
ready apparent, is in the sack market.
Farmers, who were insistently clam
oring for more sacks two weeks ago.
are now satisfied with what thev have
ordered. i
The root of the damaue is traced I
back to the heavy May rains. So much!
moisteure was received at that time I
that the roots of the grain spread out
Just beneath the surfac. Instead of
going deep. The grain grew rank and
gave rise to anticipations of big yields
even in the light land sections but
when the hot weather came, the roots
could not secure enough moisteure to
sustain the stalks and nourish the
heads.
