Thli year, 1921, will record one of the moat productive harvests la the his tory of (rain (rowing in the Heppner Flat and Eight Mile sections. Thli pre diction li bated upon the present In dlcatlona, and the barveat la Juat under way. It waa our privilege to vialt the creator portion of the Heppner Flat and Eight Mile grain flelda on laat Saturday, In company with Cashier W I. Mahoney, of the Flrat National bank, who furnlahed transportation and nec essary refreshments, and H. H. Caven, Fred Tash and R. J. Frye. and what we aaw In the way of ripened and ripening grain was a delight to the eye. The greater portion of thla country la In fall aown grain and all of thla la now ready for the harvester. Here and there waa noted a Held of apring grain, and It waa a surprise to know that the greater portion of thla la coming along well and will make good yields. Some two weeka ago there waa some pretty hot days and the effect of thla was noted on a field or so of very rank wheat but flelda generally were too far along for the hot wave to cauae Injury. Combines and atatlonary machines were running In many fields and the harvesting of the grain throughout this section Is very general now. The first fields visited were those of Andy Rood on Heppner Flat He has been at work for about a week. Two headers are running with nine boxes and the big thresher, which la driven by the Holt tractor In charge of Jim Clabaugh, waa Ailing the aacks at the rate of one a minute with a very excel lent quality of turkey-red. Mr. Rood Is now threshing out that famous field of volunteer, which la running any where from twenty to thirty bushels to the acre. He has a big crew and now that they are getting under head way with everything moving smoothly, his flelda covering 3600 acrea will be harvested Inside of about 85 days. A field of barley on thla place will make a very heavy yield. The hot weather cut it down some, but at that Mr. Rood looks forward to getting 10 bushels per acre from this field. His grain Is coming to the warehouse now at a live ly rate, being transported to town by truck. Jeff Jones and Sons were getting ready to start up and began work on their volunteer grain on Monday. No figures have been obtained from them as to yield but their grain Is all good Mr. Jones, after working out hla own place, will tackle the grain for Ray Toung on the Wm. Hendrlx place. It has been many years since there were such cropa as on these places thla sea son. Jaa. Luper has hla grain all In the stack and ready for the thresher later. Many other fields In this vicinity are now ready for the harvester and we shall be able after a week or ao to give tome figures as to yield. Bergstrom and Lutkln have In too acres on the Frank Anderson place at the head of Jack Rabbit canyon. The combine drawn by the Holt tractor, was at work In a Mold of forty fold and we are Informed by Mr. Bergstrom that this grain produced a yield of 33 bushels per acre, and It la not the best grain on thla farm, either. Ed Buschke waa Juat getting his com bine moving In good ahape and will be able to report a yield that will equal that of his neighbors. John Wlldenan and Theo. Anderson were also getting under motion wlt. their machines and by thla time are able to give an Idea of what their fields will produce. We were not able to call In on them but were Informed that they expected to line up equal with the bent. Howard Anderaon waa running his combine and getting good returns, while Bob Allatott waa Juat playing around In a Held of barley to limber up his machinery. He and Tlndal Roblaon will harvest together, expecting to have everything In readiness for active operations by the end of this week. Sylva Huston was getting Into the harness also, and his fields will pro duce well, whle Chas. Becket assisted by his father, J. W. Becket, was run ning his threshing machine and head er on a field that was turning out about 28 bushels per acre. All around the Liberty section could be seen harvest ing activities, and the grain here all looks well; It matured fine and the grain Is No. 1 quality. In fact thlB section will stand far above In aver age ylold thla aeaeon. Frank Akers, who Is on the Dan Bar low place, has a fine crop. Hia new thresher was busy and the ylold was estimated at 10 bushels In a field of forty fold whore they were heading and threshing at the same time. And across the line not far away the com bine was taking In the grain on the H. M. Oldon place. Following the rldgo down to the F. M.,Orlllln place we noted many mach ines at work and the grain waa all turning out woll, so we were Informed. Striking the Gooseberry road near the Chna. Anderson farm, It was noted thBt thoy had not yet entered the fields with their harvester but would soon be ready. Richard Peterson was busy with hla big combine, drawn by a team of 13 mules. Hla yield was twenty eight bushels on a fleld of forty fold. He has a field of turkey that will ylold much bettor than this should make SB bushels at lonst. The forty fold was excellent quality grain. Ho if whs throughout the entire clr cle, and we ahull await with Interest the figures that will come In a little Inter, and hope to be able to make an other vialt to thla section Just aa oon aa It la possible to gather up aome ac curato flguroa on the ylolda from the various farma. On the way In from Gooseberry spe cial note was taken of the fine show ing on the Olnf Bergstrom place. A fleld of bluestem waa Juat being out and 8-1E HARV SI Oli Report on Big Umatilla Project la Expected Soon The report of Engineer John H.

Phelps ia president It la aaid the complete report may not be ready for aix or eight weeka yet The englneera have ascertained that a head of from 21 to 30 feet of water can be available at all stages of the river at Umatilla rapids and that more sum mer power can be developed than will be necessary for irrigation purposes. Tentative figures indicate a need of 250,000 horse power for Irrigation through pumping. The report when completed will be submitted under the auspices of en glneera of the two states and It la pro posed to try Interstate action somewhat along the lines being followed by those working for development of the Color ado river. Just now Judge Phelps la interested In trying to have the report ready If possible when Sunator McNary makes his visit to Oregon In August It I presumed Senator Stanfleld will also be here at that time and It Is desired to get the data before these two men at the earliest possible date.

Hunlock Dies at Portland. Word was received here on Friday last of the death In Portland, Wednes day, July 20, of Dr. Hunlock from ane mic poisoning. According to a letter received by J. W. Hlatt Keeper of Re cords and Seal of Doric Lodge No. 20. K. of P. of this city, of which Dr. Hun lock was a member, he had only recent ly returned from a Ashing and outing trip at Odell lake, and it waa noticed by his friends, on his return to Port land, that he had lost much flesh and nppeared emaciated and he thought the condition was brought about by ex posure and mosqultoa, but it developed that it was the poison In his system. He was taken to the hospital, where his condition became so bad that It was not possible for him to receive vis its from his friends and the membera of the lodges in Portland. Dr. Hunlock was a resident of Hepp ner for several years and practiced hla profession In this county and Wheeler county for many years.

WOMAN DIES FROM FIT OF EPILEPSY Mrs. Bertha Umenhofer, who haa been residing tn one' of the small houses belonging to the Dexter estate In the south part of the city for the past month, waa found dead in her bed at an early hour on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Umenhofer waa alone In the house for the night with her boy, who Is about ten year of age, who on discov ering that there was something wrong wnn nis motner, called Dr. McMurdo. who upon examination stated that the woman had been dead for several hours. The caae was taken in charge by Coroner Case who lenm,i nnn. i vestigatlon that Mrs. Umenhofer had ueen suDjeci to epileptic fits for a num ber of years, and It was apparent from the poBltlon she occupied in the bed that she had been taken In one of these fits and had smothered In the pillow.

All the sheepmen In Morrow county should know that danger of scab la again menacing the Industry and that they cannot use too great care In pre venting a recurrence of this dread pla gue. Lake county is Just now menaced and the State Veterinarian has compelled the dipping of several bands of sheep, and more are likely to follow. ThiB may seem a long way from this county but an Infected trail or car will do the trick, and surely no sheepman wants to face the dipping vats on the present wool market The only thing to do Is be eternally vigilant L. A.HUNT, County Agent. H. II. Caven, cashier of the Livestock State Bank of North Portlanl, spent the week-end In Heppner aa the guest of Cashier W, P. Mahoney of the First National Bank. Mr. Caven has been In Portland since last October and this nm his first visit to Eastern Oregon.

He departed Mon day afternoon for Pendleton. There was an attempt made to hold la Commercial club meoting at thfi coun cil chnmhers on Wednesday evening, but because of a lack of attendance on the part of the members there was nothing doing. JOHN DAY DISTRICT LEGALLY ORGANIZED An opinion waa handed down during the past week by Judge Gilbert W. Phelps, at Pendleton, upon the demurr er to the complaint In the suit of the Northern Pacific Railway company, et al against John Day Irrigation Dle trlct et al. In which the queation of the legality of the organization la fully jellied. Not having apace to give the decision In lta entirety, but only to make re ference to It we will say that It refers to several points at Issue in the com plaint first among them being the question of constitutionality of the act under which the irrigation district was formed, because, 1, it doea not provide for uniform rules of assessment and taxation, and that It preventa assessment in propor tion to benefits, and. 2, that It violatea the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, because it attempts to deprive complainants of property with out due process of law. The court rules against the complain ants on these questions, as well as a number of other points on which the legality of the proceedings of the di rectors of the district were attacked. Some other phases of the suit which are brought out In the demurrer are touched upon by the decision and it would appear that these would be al lowed to stand. But aa touching the legality of the original organization the decision is clear, while the motion of defendants to strike parts of com plaint attacking confirmation of later acts and proceedings of the directors because of these same facts are involv ed in the petition for confirmation, are passed without further consideration. The demurrer to the complaint is sus tained upon the ground that such al legations of fraud as are conclusions rather than statements of fact and be cause the complaint discloses upon its face In connection with the exhibits a legally constituted irrigation district Beware of Fake Schemes, A warning is sent out by the State Chamber of Commerce calling attention to advertising promotion sch.mes that are flooding the state. They refer to year books, advertising maps, pro grams, touriBt guides, and solicitations for state and national organizations, Including advertising for the 1925 Ore gon exposition. Business men are urg ed to have no dealings with any soli citor unless he has a letter of endorse ment from the State Chamber. This will permit of the elimination of many fake schemes. W. W.

PORTLAND BANKERS WANT RED TAPE CUT Want Adatlalatratlesi ef Act Appropri ating liO.000,000 u Live Stark l'ol, xtaae Easy aa Feasible. (Portland Telegram, July It.) Portland bankers are demanding that red tape be slashed from administration of the $50,000,000 livestock pool recnt- ly formed in Chicago. Both country bankers and themselves need more liberal methods of operating the pool, they say. Leerlslatlea Irgea Moreover, they urge congressional legislation so that financial relief for agricultural interests generally may be obtained at the same time that federal loans are provided for the railroads. What is developing along this tins Is outlined in a telegram received last night from 8enator Robert N. Stanfleld at Washington by W. L Thompson, vice president of the First National bank of Portland. The message from Oregon's Junior senator follows: It la the opinion of many of my as sociates in congress and myself that the present livestock loan pool will not function with liberality and the broad ness of vision compatible with the sx- treme necessity of the livestock Indus try. Apparently the directors of the loan pool think they cannot afford to jeopardise their future by assuming responsibility that might occasion loas to pool contributor Therefore it seema the duty of the government to assume responsibilities in thla serious situation. With this view I am lending my efforts to develop legislation au thorizing government relief. "I believe the administration and con gress are of the opinion that the only way relief may be provided adequately Is by amendment empowering the war finance corporation to make loans and endow It with power to secure any amount of finance necessary to meet the requirements of the livestock In dustry and other branches of agri culture; also for the necessary finan cial relief for the railroads an amend ment to the war finance corporation act endowing the corporation with mors power will most likely be presented to congress this week. I would like your opinion as to the propriety and expediency of such leg islation. I hope you will discuss this with your associates and friends." Wires Staafiela After conferring with other Port land bankers, Mr. Thompson wired Sen ator Stanfleld to the following effect: Under the restrictions Imposed by ths organisation committee of the livestock loan pool at Chicago, bankers here con cur in the opinion forecasting failure of the pool to provide relief commen surate with the extreme necessities of the livestock Industry. We suggest you consult with Eugene Meyer, asking modification through the board of trustees which we understand is to be elected by contributors to the pool. We believe the plan adopted at the Chicago conference which provided for a committee of three in each state to pass upon applications would relieve the Chicago committee of responsibility and the time necessary to pass on small loans offered by country banks with out recourse. If unable to obtain modification and immediate action along these lines, the agricultural bloc in congress should Insist on adding to the measure for re lief of the railroads necessary amend ments providing for relief of livestock and agricultural interests through the war finance corporation. Sends Second Wire, Thla morning on behalf of other banka Mr. Thompson wired Senator Stanfleld a supplementary meaaage aa follows: Section 520! of the revised atatutea limlta national banka from becoming liable in excess of capital from sources outside of the federal reserve banka The controller haa ruled that thla in cludes rediscounts. From thla you will note it is practically Impossible for the smaller national banks to compy with the regulations of the Chicago com mittee.
