A WeII.Known Citizen Thoroughly
Gained.

We always had all idea that some time or
other Mr.. James p. MAXWELL, Of the Phoenix
coffee mills, would get severe Gaming at
the hands OF some one With whom he had
business or social relations, and yester-
day the event came to pass. About
5 O'Clock Mr.. Maxwell was waited on by bis
employees. and one Of them, stepping 70 the
front, presented him, in brief speech,
with a magnificent gold headed cane as q
slight mark of their esteem. Mr.. Maxwell,
of course, was taken entirely by surprise,
but managed to express his thanks In q
few we'll chosen sentences. The cane Ii .
beauty, and was richly deserved.

Crops i'm the Far West.

The crop reports are more favorable than
was anticipated from the dryness of the
season. In the Sacramento Valley there is a
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. but further south the harvest
will be a failure. except on irrigated ground.
la the counties surrounding San Francisco
Bay the prospects are fair, with the usual
Spring rains. In the southern coast counties
there is an increased acreage, with prospects
VARYING from half to full crop, according
to locality. Very little wheat remains in
the hands of growers, and that is held
for better prices. Considerable barley
is held for rise. Oregon advices
state that the wheat acreage is about %
per cent greater than last season. One
fourth of the growing crop in the Willamette
Valley was killed by the frost, but so per
cent. Of that portion will be receded. In
Eastern Oregon and Washington Territory
the outlook was never better. There is no
surplus wheat in Oregon, Washington Terri
tory, or Idaho. The demands of the railroad
army and of immigrants for seed and for con-
sumption 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
Oregon and Washington Territory is $50, 900
tons
