Most Crop in Pendleton Section Are Turning Out Well, rendleton Investigation ot the con dition of growing wheat in various parts of Umatilla county ehowa the damage sustained in the March ookl spell was alight. Instead of many thousand acres to reseed, as at first re ported, sot more than 2,000 acres in the entire county hare been reeeeded. Many farmers secured seed wheat and vitrei, in many instances paying fancy pricee for blueetem, which was scarce, only to find that their grain was not in jured or only slightly. The only sec tion where there was any loss was the northwestern part, where the soil is light and there was comparatively no snowfall. The scare was duo to the tact that the tops of the grain in some places was troien, but this is consider ed a benefit instead of an injury by many, as they say that it has caused the grain to stool out more than other wise. The fruit is alto coming out . nicely and the damage will not be nearly so great was feared. The peaches suf fered most, but there will be a partial crop and unless a later frost occurs there will be a full crop of all other va rieties of fruit. " TWO CENTS AN ACRE. Estimate for Coming Year by Secre tary of Waterusers' Association. Klamath Falls Secretary Applegate, of the Klamath Waterusers' association, in his annual report to the stockhold ers' meeting here, April 7, stated that (be receipts of the association to March 31, 19G6, were $6,728.66, while dis bursements were $6,851.20, leaving a deficit of $122.54.

There are about 20, 000 acres of private land under the project as yet unsubscribed. Favors Spelling Reform. Salem State Superintendent Acker man is a firm believer in the reformed spelling, so much talked about by An drew Carnegie. He says that there is only one way to bring about the refor mation speedily and effectively, and that was for the newspapers of the country to agree to adopt the new mode of spelling. Should this be done, Mr. Ackerman says that the country at large will accept the new form and forget the old inside of one year. He said that the National Educational association had adopted the new form. Initiative Printing Bill.

Sheepmen Jubilant Over Confirmation of Reconsideration, Pendleton There it joy among heepmen of Umatilla county over the news that the Wcnaha reserve will be redivided, for it is understood that the allotment is to be made again. Sev eral days ago J. E. Smith received a letter from Hanger J. M. 8mlta, invit ing the Oregon men to meet at Walla Walla April 27 to consult regarding the division of the reserve. It was sup posed that the meeting would be mere ly to hear complaints, and that little or no good would result to the Oregon sheepmen. However, Dan P. Smyths, secretary of the Umatilla county asso ciation, ha been informed, that the reserve was to be rediyided. When the Wenaha reserve was first allotted among stockmen several months ago Oregon men complained bitterly because in making the divis ion tha Oregon part of the reserve had been practically given over to Washing ton growers, thus cutting oft many Umatilla county men from their sum mer ranges. There is a general belief that a more equitable division will be made this time, as the Umatilla county men will be on hand to assert their rights. Perry Gould, president of the Uma tilla county association, has called a meeting of that body April 26, at which time a line of action will be agreed upon. Oregon's Boundary Dispute. Salem Attorney General Crawford and State Engineer Lewis, after visiting Astoria to look up evidence in the boundary line suit pending between Oregon and Washington before the United States Supreme court, are more thoroughly convinced than ever that Oregon is in the right. Mr. Lewis con tends that congas must have been guided in fixing the boundary line by the latest government surveys of the mouth of the Columbia river. By stip ulation, oral evidence will be taken be fore a notary. Land and Lot System To Be Used. Astoria County Assessor Cornelius bas decided to use the land and lot sys tem in preparing the 1906 assessment roll in place ot segregating the proper ty nnder the names ot the various own ers, as has been the custom heretofore Mr. Cornelius believes the new system will result in a great saving to the county. Governor Would Sign Protest. Salem Governor Chamberlain says that he does not think the United States quartermaster's office should be moved from Portland to Seattle, be cause Portland was the more central point.

The heaviest fall is now over Somnta, Santa, Anastaala, Ponticelli and other village in a section opposite and distant from the city.

The inhabitant of this city are en during the yellow gray atmosphere o( yeelei-day, which is even more oppres sive than before. The popular costume of those who ran afford it consisUi of an automobile coat, cap and goggles, which enables the wearer to maintain a semb lance ot cleanliness, bat the people generally have to be contented with paper mask and raised umbrella. The driver of trolley car are wearing masks ot some transparent material under the visor ot their caps. More shops were opened today and the city i slowly resuming it normal life.
