ATHENA, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, JUNE 19, 1931
NUMBER 25
RAIN IS GENERAL
THROUGHOUT STATE
Athena Crops Are Benefit
, ted Boy Drowns in The
Dalles Cloudburst.
intermittant showers commencing
Friday night in Athena district cul-
uminated m a drenching rain storm
of several hours duration Wednesday
evening, greatly benefitting growing
- crops.
The 3000 acres of peas tributary to
the Athena grading plant of the
Washington-Idaho Seed company was
materially benefitted, as sufficient
moisture for maturing the crop is
now assured. The rain came too
late to be much of a factor in re
claiming damage caused by hot
weather and drouth in the light soil
sections of the county and the In
land Empire in general, but the cool
er weather of last week and follow
ing rains held back the quick ripen
ing of grain fields in the immediate
Adams-Athena-Weston section, where
it is claimed the yield had been
"pinched" to some extent.
Mountain farmers, who have just
finished planting their potato crobs
: welcomed the rain, as it came just at
" the right time to boost the . spuds
along.
Central and Southern Oregon saw
a long drouth period ended by heavy
rainfall. Near The Dalles, gullies and
canyons were engulfed by flood
stage waters when a cloudburst -descended
on the hills. A four year
old boy in a family camped in a dry
gulch was swept to his death after
the cloudburst had filled the can
yon with a rush of water and hail
stones. The father, mother and an
other child escaped. , The body of the
boy was removed from the gulch a
half a mile- below the camp.
Damage of thousands of dollars
was done near The Dalles. Several
houses were washed away, orchards
were torn out and gardens ruined
The cloudburst was the second in two
days.
: The heavy rains have caused seri
ous damage to the cherry crop, grow,
ers reported. Wasco county orchard-
ists are trying to find some means of
salvaging the crop, since inspection
indicates 50 per cent or more damage
: from splitting caused by the warm
rains.
While heavy hail storms occurred
along the Deschutes river in south
ern Wasco and Sherman counties, re
ports here indicate wheat fields es
caped except in limited areas.
Twenty miles from Bend the branch
of the Union Pacific was blocked by
slides, and bridges were damaged.
The Shaniko branch also was blocked.
The Old Oregon Trail was said to be
inundated near Rufus. The Deschutes
river rose four feet in 30 minutes af
ter the storm.
Southwest of Grass Valley a 20
minute fall of egg-size hail stones
destroyed 600 or 800 acres of wheat,
knocked shingles off a farm house oc
cupied by Glen Fairchild and dented
tops of automobiles in the path of
the storm.
" Mrs. Dick Reckman was pummeled
by hail stones until unconscious while
attempting to care for young chick
ens. Medford streets were flooded and
upper Rogue river valley orchards
drenched when rain of near cloud
burst proportions f ell.
Though some hay was spoiled and
cherries were split, orchardists gen
erally welcomed the downpour.
Rain over the week-end covered a
wide area in the Inland Empire, farm
ers reported most of it in eastern
Washington. In Spokane more than
.04 of an inch fell. Ritzville and
Wilbur had heavy downpours. Yaki
ma had intermittent showers. Rain
was scarce in North Idaho.

Cinders To Be Used on
School Parking Strip
The directors of School District No.
29 have decided to cover the parking
strip parallel with the curb and side
walk on Fourth street with cinders,
the parking to be used by school
buses and private cars used for trans
portation of pupils.
Three carloads of cinders will be
used in surfacing the new parking
and it will be put on as soon as the
leveling of the ground , is completed.
Heretofore buses and cars have
been parked in the street during
school hours and the practice has
been considered dangerous for the
reason that there was always the
chance for an accident due to traffic.
The new parking . strip will afford
facilities for removing the school
cars from the street thoroughfare entirely.

Salem. Organization of the' new
state department of agriculture will
probably be completed within the next
week, according to Max . Gehlhar,
Salem lawyer-horticulturist, selected
by Governor Meier as the director of
the new department, who has been de
voting his entire time for the past
month to the work of reorganizing
the several departments included in
this consolidation.
The act creating the department
provides for its organization into five
divisions, each headed by a "chief,"
but Gehlhar has announced the abol
ishment of the division of markets,
grades and standards whose functions
will be distributed among the other
four divisions, thus reducing the
number of chiefs to be named to four.
By virtue of a provision in the leg
islative act Gehlhar as director of the
department is also made ex-officio
"chief" of the department of admin
istration and J. D. Mickle, present
state dairy and food commissioner, is
also taken care of in the reorganiza
tion as "chief" of the division of
foods and dairies. This leaves only
two chiefs to be selected, one for the
division of plant industry1 and anoth
er for the division of animal indus
try which is expected to go to Dr. W.
H. Lytle, present state veterinarian,
whose department is taken over in
the consolidation. - ,
Dissemination of crop and market
news now handled out of the Salem
office of the state marketing agent
will be discontinued after July 1, ac
cording to Gehlhar, and this service
will be centralized in the college at
Corvallis which now maintains a sim
ilar news bureau.
Gehlhar, in addition to the execu
tive function delegated to him as di
rector of the new department and the
supervision of agriculture statistics,
publicity, fairs and exhibits which the
act places under his direct control,
will also take over direct supervision
of the grain inspection division, the
largest and most important branch of
the department.
Elimination of the market agent
will, it is estimated by Gehlhar, re.
suit in a saving of at least $7300 a
year in salaries and is only one of a
number of economies which it is
hoped to put into effect ur.der the
consolidation.
The consolidation will include 12
state functions now operating as sep
arate departments. These ' are the
board of horticulture, pure seed board,
livestock sanitary board, state veteri
narian, dairy and food commissioner,
state chemist, state bacteriologist, ad
visory livestock brand adjusting
board, stallion registration board,
board of state fair directors, state
market agent, lime board and the
standing committee on agricultural,
lime.
Examiners Named
Nine examiners of automobile op
erators' license applicants have been
named by Kent Shoemaker, head of
the automobile examiners license bu
reau. New applicants for driver's
and chauffeur's licenses must under
go examinations after July 1, while
the law compells all chauffeurs to have
their licenses renewed. Present hold
ers of operator's licenses are not re
quired to renew licenses, but the new
law provides these must be renewed
some time within the next three years.
Henry Lizcar will have charge of this
district with headquarters at Pen de-
ton.
