WEATHER REPORT.

About normal temperature pre-.
vailed during the week. In various
sections frosts were more frequent
and of greater severity, though the
period for any serious damage being
done has passed. There was no rain
fall reported. The winds have been
light, generally from the northwest.
The mornings have been partly
cloudy or foggy, and the atmosphere
is becoming filled with smoke from
forest fires. The coast and William
cite valley are more free from smoke
than the other sections. A few leaves
have begun to fall, few varieties are
coloring, showing the rapid approach
of autumn.
Grain harvest is over; the crop is
generally threshed and hauling to
warehouses, mills ETC., is now in active
progress. Good crops Of extra good
quality Of wheat, oats and hay are
generally reported to have been
secured.
Fruit drying is in progress. The
prune crop was large, of good quality
and in demand. The onion crop is
being pulled. Potatoes are read Y to
be dug, and they are generally more
than the average in quantity, quality
and size. Some hops are already be-
ing hauled to the market. In Marion
county hops are active at 80 cents per
pound Grapes are ripening. The
vines are uery healthy and are bear
ing heavily. The grape yield in Jack
son county is unusually large. The
corn crop is fair. The general yield of
grain in Sherman, Wasco and adioin-
ing counties was larger than expected.
Through the sections south of the
Blue mountains grain and hay crops
are unusually good. Forest fires are
quite extensive, though not so great
as in former years.

A Prompt Cure OF rheumatism.

Mr.. j. F. Meighan, Pittsburg, Pa, cigar
dealer, awoke one morning with an attack
of rh sunatism in his right arm. Working
around the store during the forenoon made
it worse. By noon the pain was so severe
that he could not raise his hand to his head
and had to carry his arm in a sling. One of
his customers, upon learning of the facts.
went across the street to drug store and
at his own expense procured a bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and persuaded the
cigar dealer to use it 1t eased the pain
and redced the swelling that by the next
morning he could use mis- arm, and by the
second morning was entirely well. This is
only one of the many severe cases of rheu-
matism that have been cured by this valua-
BILE remedy. For sale by T. Graham.

OB1TUARY.-Rev. Jesse Wood was
born March "a, 1904, in Pendleton,
county Virginia, and died September
8, 1899, of heart disease, at the home
of his son-in-law, G G. Newton, near
Philomath, Benton county, Oregon,
aged Sc years, 5 months and IA days.
He was member of the M. E. church
for over seventy years, having been
converted in early life. He filled ac-
|ceptably the offices of steward, class
leader, exhorter and local preacher.
His parents were pious and all his
brothers were preachers. The names
of Revs. Aaron, Enoch, Moses and
Wesley Wood were well known among
the early itinerants of Indiana, Ohio,
and Illinois. They are all gone to
their reward except Moses. Jesse's
was pioneer life, from the cradle to
the grave. He helped to open the way
for settlements and the church across
the continent. His parents moved
from Virginia when he was only child.
Here he grew to manhood and married
his first wife, Rachel Chenoweth.
From this union three children were
born. In 1888 this wife died. The
next year IN Illinois he married Mar
garet Henkle. From this marriage
there were twelve children. At the
day of his death his descendants, some
of whom had passed away, were as fol-
lows: 10 children, SO grand children,
Sc great-gland children and great
reat-grand children. In 1889 he
moved from Illinois to Iowa, and in
1858 to Oregon. The next year he
settled in Benton county where he has
since resided. His home was always
open to the pioneer and the itinerant.
He was kind and obliging neighbor,
a true friend, faithful husband and
fond parent. His second wife, in ex-
treme feebleness, and many descend
ants survive him. In this bereave-
ment, 'their loss is his gain" A large
attended the funeral of
Father Wood" thus showing the es-
TEEN in which he is held. The
text was "Let me die the death of the
righteous and let my last end be like
his" A good man who has lived long
and well has gone to his rest and re-
ward. H. P. SATcHwELL.

HE WAS ASHAMED
70 Ask Again, but His Frank Letter Got

A few months ago one of the unfortunate in

he wrote to the Edwin w. Joy Co., appealing to

SOME PRUNE FIGURES.
Pomona Progress 7

The quantity of prunes in Po-
mona valley and dried here this
season is about HOO tons. Some
people estimated the quantity at
100 tons, but the former figures
are conservative. The value of
this crop and amount paid for the
labor in picking and drying the
same make prunes worth fully
100000 to the valley.
Several long experienced fruit
growers believe that James Lonev,
whose orchard is out on North
Ellen street, will make over $3.50
an acre from his prune crop this
season.
There are six six-year old prune
trees in Frederick's orchard that
have borne $3.50 worth of fruit
this season.
From only two acres of prune
trees NJ. Z. Russell has gathered
and dried crop that sold on Mon
day tor $76S, and the orchard has
been shamefully neglected for two
years, too.
The sixteenacre prune orchard
of George Rohrer, in the northern
part of Pomona, yields crop of
about 112 tons. Mr. Rohrer sold
the crop to the cannery at $3S a
ton on the trees. Mr.. Rohrer,
therefore. gets a check for $4,000,
and has nothing to do with har-
vesting the crop OF worrying about
lazy pickers. That makes the
yield over $3.50 an acre this sea-.
son. This property was set out in
April, 1884, and was valued in
1885 at $3.50 an acre. Now that
it has come into bearing it yields a
net profit equal to 1O.per cent. in
terest Oh an investment of $255O
on each acre. How does such a
profit compare with the profits
from farming and fruit growing in
the east?
There are dozen prune OF
chards here that yield a crop worth
$500 an acre this season.
n. 2. Hardy's fve-acre prune
orchard has cost for (for the land,
trees. care, taxes, irrigation, etc.,
exactly $311.45 an acre up to July
last. The orchard was planted in
1884, and this is the second crop.
The gross receipts from the prop
erty thus far have been $3S7 per
acre. In other words, the Or
chard has more than paid for itself
and is now yielding
crop that is worth over $500 an
acre every year. In our humble
such piece of prop
erty is worth not dollar less than
$500 an acre, 1t yields a crop
10 per cent. annual interest ON
$4,000 an acre.
