Harvesting Operations
After two or Jhree hot days
the first of the week wind came
up from the west Wednesday
evening and by Thursday morn-
ing - the s ky was filled with
clouds. A few drops of rain fell
in Moro and in varying amounts
ever the county. Harvesting was
not stopped in many instances
bdt fear of a harvest rain made
farmers more apxious than ever
to get their crop Into the eleva-
tors.
------------------ •
Thieves broke into the May &
Son store in Mbro Wednesday
night and took an estimated $150
from the cash register and also
broke - into the Wasco « Market
and obtained $10.
The lock on the back door of
the May store was opened by use
of a small bar or a heavy screw
driver which permitted access to
the main store. The door of the
Wasco store was badly broken
in opening.
Robberies of this qature have
been going on for three or four Portland Sherman
months, particularly in Wasco,
and so far no workable cluea Countian s To Picnic
have been found.

.Virgil Archer, in charge of
the Hay Canyon elevators for

said it made little noise and al
most no Jar of concussion. The
concrete and steel Just pulled out
from the moorings and collapsed
on the roadway.
The elevator is constructed in
two huge circular bins about
ten feel apart. The space between
them is divided into two bins,
the outside of which is curved

bins. Appearance of the break
indicates that this center bin
