divided between the Reid school, with
20, the Central, with 14, and the
Kenwood, with 14. Others In higher
grades, especially the third and
fourth, who had not returned fol
lowing the end of lhe epidemic, and
who have now entered the grade in
which they started at the beginning
of the year, account for the unusual
congestion.

school plan, by which the seventh
and eighth grade pupils are trans
ferred to the high school building, to
the joy of the pupils of these grades
and the Ulsgust of the senior high

(B United Pre to The Bend Bulletin.)
SPOKANE. Feb. 25. The Inland
empire Is smothered today in a mil
lion dollar snowstorm.
The snow began falling last night,
continuing fiercely today. A six-inch
layer covers the city streets. The
weather, bureau says that the fall
will continue for the next two days,
and wheat growers say that the snow
means one of the greatest crops ever
harvested In the northwest.
Conditions In Central Oregon
closely parallel those reported far
ther north. Falling on ground al
ready saturated with water, snow
started in the early morning, and was
still descending, late this afternoon.
The amount of moisture already
stored in the earth is larger than has
been recorded for years in this sec
tion, while in the mountains the snow
reserve is constantly increasing,-making
certain an abundant supply of
water for Irrigation during the dry
months.

BIG YEAR FOR
STATE CERTAIN
CONDITIONS IDEAL IN
NORTHWEST.
Bumper Crop Assured Everywhere,
Hay Oregon Trunk Official
Rmumption of Operation by
Mill Favorable Indication.
That the crop outlook for Central
Oregon, and In fact for the entire
northwest, Is the best in the farming
history of the territory lying west
of the Rockies is the declaration of
J. T. Hardy, general freight and pas
senger agent for the Oregon Trunk,
who is in Bend on one of his regular
trips to this section. An unusually
large acreage has been sown to wheat
as a result of the government guar
antee, and there is so much moisture
in the ground. In addition to the snow
still unmejted and falling, that only
a record crop hj possible, Mr. Hardy
states.
He finds another Important in
fluence for prosperity in the condi
tion of the lumber industry, and de
clares that the mill employers of the
northwest are doing much to solve
tbe unemployment problem. "Under
rush orders resulting from war con
ditions, the mills have been running
without a halt for two years, and
shortly after the signing of the arm
istice a large majority of them had
to shut down for from one to four
weeks for repairs," he said. "Now
they are rapidly resuming operations,
and many men who have been idle
are now finding work. This is of
particular importance in the western
part of the state, where the unem
ployment situation has been much
more serious than in this section."
