Crop Weather Bulletin Nc. II.

Oregon state weather beureau: The
past week has been one of rain, little
sunshine and about average tempera-
ture. The notable feature of the
week was the storm on the 18th,
which foundered the steamer AlGS-
kan, off the Oregon coast, and gave to
the state heavy rains, thunder and
hail. The first report of the thunder
storm is from Lane county, where
rain fell in torrents, and hail fell to
the depth of from six to twelve inches.
The, thunder storm moved north,
principally on the west side of the
Willamette river, reaching Portland
at 1886 P. NJ. A portion of the storm
moved north to Tacoma, doing
damage and fatally injuring
several persons. Another portion
moved eastward giving copious rains
through Wasco, Morrow and Umatilla
counties, causing the rivers and
streams to rapidly rise, and doing
slight damage; while west of the Cas-
cades reports indicate that the wet
weather has been of injury to winter
wheat; in eastern Oregon reports show
that the late rains have been of great
benefit. Never before has there been
such uniform and fiattering reports in
regard to the prospects of crops as
now comes in from Oregon as whole
and eastern Oregon in particular. In
western Oregon, while the rains have
not been beneficial to winter wheat,
to the spring wheat it has given
strength, and it shows promises of
more than an average yield. Warm
sunshine is needed now to mature
more rapidly the strawberries and
cherries, which have been greatly re-
tarded by the cloudy, wet weat her.
In the Umpqua valley, the strawberry
piekers have been wearing gum
clothes while picking the fruit. In
the Willamette valley there is much
danger of the winter wheat growing
too much straw and to fall Clover,
in sections, has q tendency to lodge.
The rain fall for the week has been
above the average, the sunshine below
the average and the temperature about
normal B. s. PAGUE.

The owner of the Kentucky Derby
winner named his horse Spokane and
pronounces it spok'n, like the word
spoken. Old Oregonians of the vim
tage of 1S49 and the Indians before
them called to Spokane. The later
settlers call it Spo-kdnn, and eastern
people usually say Spokane. The
right way to pronounce it is the way
which pleases you best.-New Hamp-
shire emigrants came to Oregon in the
early '5Gs and named one county Coos
after Coos, of the Granite state. The
original Coos is pronounced Coos,
but every one in Oregon says Coos,
in one syllable.

The Historian is glad to note 80
many OF the smaller amounts of stock
taken in the railroad subscription.
The more of them the better. If q
man has just one share he feels lots
more interest in the thing than il he
hasn't. And this leads to another re-
mark, kindly meant, and let us hope
kindly taken. Don't ask, "Wel, what
are they doing about the railroad?" as
though "they" meant foreign outside
scheme and you were merely curious
about the matter as incidental and ex-
traneous. What are WE, YOU and
all the rest of Us doing about it? It's
yours and ours and doesn't belong to
"they." And please don't talk Of "giv-
ing" anything toward it. Invest,
take stock, help yourself in doing SO,
but don't imagine you're "giving" any
thing; for you're not. Let US all take
a local pride in it, cherish it, help it
along and drop all remarks about
"they," and "giving."

The passage and enactment of the
Ssott exclusion act is already showing
its effect in various ways, on this
coast, particularly in San Francisco,
where the Chinese merchants have ex-
perienced a heavy falling off of their
previous business, and several failures
among the leading Chinese CONNER
cial houses have been attributed to
the passage of the bill. Many Chi
nese firms complain of a very great
decrease in their trade.

Rev. J. W. Harris has died ut his
home in Salem, after having abstained
from food about four weeks. He was
formerly, for a number of years, a
Congregational minister at Albany and
Salem. About the first of April he
was prostrated by q stroke OF paraly-
sis, and has since been confined to his
bed. His sickness affected his reason,
and he began to abstain from nourish-
ment about April 10, refusing to touch
food or medicine, and taking only an
occasional cup of coffee. His excuse
was that he did not want to interfere
with the plan of the Almighty TO take
him at His pleasure.

The supreme court of the United
States has just decided that Robert
Shields, an aged citizen, of Puyallup,
is worth S22,0O0,000 in solid, hard cash,
which the city of Omaha, Neb., owes
him. Nearly thirty years ago Mr..
Shields took up a homestead of l60
acres on the present site of the city of
Omaha. He left his claim for a few
days, and it was jumped by another
person, who was the agent of q town
site company. Mr.. Shields contested
the claims of the land jumper, and for
over twenty years the matter has been
in litigation.

The st. Helens Mist says that un-
scrupulous men from different places
have been advertising the selection OF
choice timber lands and running in
strangers who were unacquainted with
the country, or section lines, and show
ing them a choice body of timber
land, and representing that
the timber shown was on the piece
selected for them. and charging the
purchaser from $75 to 800 for select
ing and showing them their claim and
giving the numbers of the land, when
it would afterwards transpire that
the same body of timber had been
used to locate a dozen or more claims
on, and when the true lines come to
be run half of them would find their
land on an adjoining burn, or on hem
lock or knotty, red fir land that is
totally worthless for timber purposes.
Many of the persons taking timber
claims are direct from the prairie
states, and don't know a hemlock from
a barberry, and as they have a craze
to get hold of timber land readily fall
victims to the timber sharks.

Clatsop county's delinquent tax list
foots up only S708.8l. Comparison is
invited. THE Historian believes that
to have only 800 delinquent ont of a
$4,000 tax is about as good showing
as any county in Oregon or Washing
ton can make, and will be glad to
hear from any other county that can
produce, in this regard, a better record
for the year.
