Oregon State Heather Bureau IN co-operc
ton acah U. s. Signal Service, central Office
Portland, Oregon. For areek ending Sept
rs, 1889:
The temperature has been about normal.
On Wednesday it was to or above in many
sections of the state, but since then there
has been a decided fall. Last Saturday
night, Sunday and Monday general showers
were experienced, being quite heavy in
northern part Of coast and Willamette val.
ley. At mouth of Columbia river over an
inch fell. The weather conditions Friday
and to-day have been favorable for rain but
so far only light sprinkles have occurred.
The rains in the fore part of the week again
cleared the atmosphere of the dense smoke,
but by the end of the week 1t was quite
smoky again showing that extensive forest
fires yet prevail in sections of the state.
In Curry county the most destructive
forest fires ever known since the settlement
of the country have prevailed. Large bodies
of fine timber, grass and stock ranges have
been destroyed; not only these have been
burnt but also a saw mill, fences, barns,
haystacks and in one instance house, the
occupants barely escaping with their lives
The amount of sunshine has been about
normal. Foggy mornings have generally
prevailed west OF the Cascades. Frosts
occurred in the higher plateau and noun
tain regions of Eastern Oregon during the
week but no damage is reported as having
been done,
Since the cool weather has set in many of
the springs and wells of Eastern Oregon ap-
pear to have become stronger.
In Jordan valley, Malheur county, baled
hay is selling at from Sl2 so to SIS per ton
on ranch and grain 211s cents per pound.
In Crook county it is reported that wheat
is selling at 81 80 per bushel.
In the Willamette valley the showers of
the fore part of the week were favorable to
the wheat lately sown and the green blades
are already appearing above the ground.
There has been quite large amount of
wheat already sown and the weather condi-
tions have been favorable to it.
In Southern Oregon fruit drying is nearly
at an end. Grape picking for wine con-
tinues. The yield of most all varieties of
grapes has been good.
Around Grass Valley, lvasco county,
frosts are of almost nightly occurrence.
Potatoes are very scarce, the crop being an
entire failure. The present year has been
disastrous one for the farmers of this Sec
ton and some are moving away to try and
better their condition.
In Sherman county fall grain is being
sown; the acreage in this county will be in
creased about 30 per cent.
The rains of the 2lst and 22d were quite
general throughout Eastern Oregon but not
sufficient fell to be of real benefit.
The wheat market yet remains inactive;
but small amount of wheat is moving.
The warehouses of the interior are generally
filled to their full capacity.

"They take the risk of that. / never
dreamt of your not being delighted to
appear in perfectly unique jewel" He
was quite crestfallen. and stood gazing
pensively down at the glowing spot of
light, pulling his mustache, until Nora
was touched and gave little laugh,
which reassured him.
"If must wear 1t, it shall at least be

Now it happened that Nora had been

subject with her husband. There was
an eccentric old aunt OF his who had
quarreled with them. The origin of this
quarrel was nothing more serious than a
complicated history OF a hamper of ducks
