Sometimes We Forget. "This is all tommyrot, tbe talk that we never had a. season like this be fore," said Elmer Snyder, to the Peu leton Tribune, "for there has never been a year in any oountry that was not like some other year. I remember the first summer I was in Umatilla county, 19 years ago, I worked in tbe harvest fields for 80 days and tbe best wheat we threshed anywhere was just north of Athena wbiob yielded 28 bushels to tbe acre. And I nave seen one or two other years as bad as this and several nearly so. I think my wheat will average 30 bushels this year and that isn't so bad. We can't expect tbe eortb every year and the crops Umatilla will produce this sum mer, under tne ciroumstanoes, are ahead of what any other part of the United States could do. So let's be thankful'for our luok, after all. Uma tilla is all right." Wheels Pass Over Body. A big piouio party given by tbe people who are connected with tbe Freewater Canuery was held up the Walla Walla river last Sunday. Coming home in the evening a young girl named Dot Campbell fell off the wagon and was dangerously injured by tbe wheels passing over her abdo men, sane lies in a very precarious state at tbe home of her mother. 1 A Democratic Mayor.
