Charles Kirk is trying out the bulk System of harvesting wheat, four large tariRs mounted on wagons are trans porting the grain from the stationary machine to the new elevator at Wes ton. He says that after paying for the tanks, he will have enough out of what his sack bill would have amount ed to, to pay for a Ford car. The two "Bills," Winship and Pink erton, prospected the mountains Sun day for huckleberries. They found the berries allright, but for the most part they were green ones. However, they predict a fair crop of this luscious fruit, later on. Several camps were encountered at Cold Springs and at McDougals. The roads were in fair condition. Mayor Watts donned his harvest uni form Tuesday and hied bin self and a crew of men into the harvest field. Hereafter, so long as there is steam in tbe big Pitts engine, he'll snore with one eye open, in order to be on the job at the break o' day. The machine is threshing wheat on the Watts place north of town. Quality good, yield fair just now. Charles Brown, former Umatilla county rancher, but now a California naval orange magnate, writes the press that his crop has been consider ably damaged on account of dry weather.

Emmel. afmigratory phenomona is reported ty lsVill Pinkerton, who on Saturday, July SB, observed a large flock of wild geese wending their flight southward. The flock was an unusually large one, and was flying low, when sighted south of town. As the latter part of Octo ber or the first week in November is the usual time for the southward flight of geese, Mr. Pinkerton is ready to predict an early fall and a severely cold winter. While a number of machines have started up this week, harvest in this vicinity will not be in fall operation until the latter part of next week. Many who are now threshing say that the crop is much better than expected. The lightest yields, as a rule, are re turned from those fields which were reseeded this spring. The Kirk place east of town, is reported to be turning out 46 bushels to the acre. This spring the field looked as though it needed to be reseeded, but Charles Kirk let it go, and with the result that he is getting satisfactory returns. The Peoples Theatre.
