detailed port of the operations of his party in
their search for the missing people of the jean

native boats. Then follow the chief incidents
Of the search of the different parties from day
10 day, the difficulties experienced from shoal
water and the impossibility OF procuring native
guides. They We're frequently compelled to

count of the points visited and the distances
travelled, and notes their return to Bulun on
the 9th OF November and adds:
L regret to state that no trace of Chipp or his
party or his boat has been seen by us or any of
the natives. 1t is probable that communica-
ted with every native of the Delta and with
those who were rear the coast.

THE GRAIN CROP.
More Favorable Outlook on the Pacific

slope Than Anticipated.
SAN FRANcIsCo, March THE crop re-
ports are more favorable than was anticipated
from the dIyness of the season. In tho Sacra-
mento valley there is larger acreage of wheat
than last year, and with rain within the next
two weeks the crop will be up to, or over the
average. In the northern part OF San Joaquin
valley the same is true, brt further south the
harvest will he failure except on irrigated
ground. In the counties surrounding San
Francisco bay the pr ospects are fair, with the
usual spring rains. In the southern coast
counties there is an increased acreage, with
prospects varying from half to fall crop, ac-
cording to locality. Very little wheat remains
in the hands of growers, and that aud barley is
held for rise.
Oregon advces state that the wheat acreage
IS about 70 per cent. greater than last year.
One-fourth of the growing crop in the Villa
mette valley WAS killed by the frost, but 80 per
cent of that portion Will be reseeded
In eastern ORE gon and Washington Territory.
the outlook was never better.
There is no surplus wheat in Oregon, Wash
ingtoD Territory or idaho. The demands of
the railroads, army and of immigrants for seed
consumption have exhausted the supply. 1t is
not likely that any -four will be imported be-
fore midsummer. A fair estimate for the ex-
port trade during the coming season from Ore
gon and Washington Territory is $4,000 tons.
