Engineer Called to Chicago After In­ quiry on Irrigation Plans. Wasco— From Wasco to the Shaniko hills, a distance of 40 miles; from this place to the John Day, about 12 miles, and about an equal distance to the Des chutes river, wheat is ripening very 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 sown wheat is not all out of danger, with present weather conditions con tinued for awhile longer, nothing ex­ cept a strike of harvesters could possi bly stop Sherman county from giving an unusually good account of a very good all around wheat producing sec tion. Good farming is one of the secrets of Sherman’s generally good showing, and whenever nature helps out a little, the outcome looks like magic. Sher­ man county wheat growers know how to farm and they are practicing what they know. Ontario— George H. Binkley, field 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 . L. Blodgett, of the district, at the meeting of the directors in Nyssa, was instructed to investigate the quali­ fications of several engineers, who are applicants for the position of local en­ gineers for the district. The directors w ill meet again soon, when it is ex­ pected an appointment will be made. tnd the police—of course It’s foolish of C H A P T E R X VI.— (Continued.) hem, hut the police, you know, think One bit of documentary evident le may know something about her dis- that materialized in the Hackleye hom ippearance, and they’re holding him at Cairo was bruited about in all th III they find her." papers.
