and about an equal distance to the Des

fast.
Sherman county intends to make a
record for itself in wheat production
this season and while it is not likely
that all previous records will be bro
ken, the showing of the grain fields is
pleasing to all concerned.
Cool weather at a time when the
moisture in the ground was not too
plentiful, was the saving grace this
season. For several weeks weather
conditions in Sherman county have
been close to the ideal, and the grain
has in consequence ripened very slow
ly, but surely.
During the critical
period— when the fall wheat was put
in the “ dough,” hot weather would
have pulled down the prospects to an
alarming degree.
While it is very true that the spring

with present weather conditions con

engineer for th e. Arnold Construction
company, of Chicago, has been called
to the home office of the company to
consult the Trobridge-Njver company
relative to the plans and specifications
for the Owyhee irrigation project,
which covers the Kingman colony ani
Gem projects also. Mr. Binkley took
with him the data gathered during the
past year concerning this project, and
upon his return the plans will be sub
mitted to the engineer selected by the
water users of the district. The plans
afterwards will be submitted to the
state engineer for his approval and the
district will then be in shape to re
ceive bids on the construction of the
reservoirs and canals.
Secretary W .

meeting of the directors in Nyssa,
