A light dtlzzle which fell through

enough to be measured and not
enough to affect crops or In any

TO TAKE FIELD
AFTER ESCAPES
Ynklma. Aug. 22 While Sheriff
Luce has his men In readiness,
few of them will actually go to
tho field until It becomes sure the
bandits are headed this way but
rtinnll smi.uls will he sent to cover
the M t . Adams and Sa t us roads,
the most logical ones for tho ban
dits to traverse. In order to reach
White Swan they must pans tho Sig
nal Peak ranger, station, where all
cars aro required to register. As
soon as any auspicious: travelers
aro reported from Signal Peak, the
Ynklma posse will concentrate on
the White Swan district, some 40
miles away. It Is possible for them
to avoid the Yakima district and
go by Ooldendale.
Sheriff Luce Is of tho opinion
that slnco tho bandits obtained a
considerable supply of foodstuffs
at lilngen, they will tnkc to the
hills and "hide out" In western
style rather than attempt to con
tinue In their auto. If they are ac
customed to life In the wilderness,
they could remain there for an In
definite time and as the section Is
remote from any considerable set
Moment It would bo almost Impos
slble to organ Izo poses large
enourrh to cover tho numerous can
yons with any degree of success
Sheriff Luce was Informed by
Sheriff Warwick that he has no
doubt the Bingen robbers were the
bandits.
The record for dry weather at
Salem was reached In 1914, when
there was no rain for a period of
74 days. If today's rain had held
off throo moro days a now record
would have been established,
Blowing almost directly from th
