Temperature Cooier-ConditIons Tn
favorable to Hay ing Operations.


PORTLAND. Or, July l5.-The follow
| ing information relative to crop and
weather is CLEANED from reports received
at the headquarters oil the oregon state
Weather Bureau, this city;
The temperature has been cooler than
tho average for the week partly cloudy
to cloudy weather, with local rains have
prevailed. The temperature has ranged
from 80 to 50 degrees. The amount OF
rainfall has varied from 10 OF an inch to
over one inch.
The weat her has been unfayorable to
the hnying operations, considerable was
cut and down when the rains came ON
and some of 1t was injured; In addition,
the rains have delayed the hay harvest,
causing 1t to come too close to the wheat
harvest, which in sections has begun,
and in most sections will be In full sway
next week. The hay crop is far better
than expected. The weather was very
beneficial to the fail and spring wheat
crops, also TO the corn. The fall wheat
has generally filled very well, the berry
being large and plump. Spring wheat
which on June was thought to be
worthless, is growing nicely, and Will
most sections. Root crops are all in u
most promising condition. Hops con
tinue to thrive and their yield will be
above the average. The apples are being
injured by the Goblin moth. Their non
appearance at an earlier date may be
due to the backward spring. They are
evidently now appearing in full force
and are proving to be quite injurious.
Oregon peaches are coming into the
market. The peach crop of Southern
Oregon will not be over 80 per cent. of
the average. Through the Willamette
valley the crop will he slightly better.
In Wasco the peach crop appears to be
the best. Cherries are becoming
scarcer. Berries continue to be
plentiful; water and musk melons
promise very large crop. They are
especially prolific in Jackson and Jose
phine counties. The grass on the ranges
OF Eastern Oregon is very good for the
lateness of the season, and cattle are in
prime condition. The wheat crop in the
Willamette valley will be almost an
average, in Southern Oregon about an
average; in Wasco, Sherman, Gillian
and Morrow counties, better than for
years; in Umatilla and Union counties,
the largest ever produced; in Wallowa,
Baker, Grant, Crook and interior coun-
ties, fully an average crop.
Reports from all sections indicate that
a bountiful harvest is assured.

CEsTR,LiA, Wash, July l6.-The
farmers In the rich country around the
town have made fair beginning with
their haying. The crop is average, al
though tho weather has hardly been
right until the last week.
The location of the Standard Furniture
Company here is almost a certainty.
Estimates are now being made for the
erection of the building which will be
60x1OO feet In the ground floor. The site
chosen is most admirable. Inauiries
are at hand from party in Waltham,

over dozen mills already demanding
constant repairs the promise Of a good
business from the start is assured.
A large number OF women and chill

WAuINotuN, July lb.-Scnator Pow
or. OF Montana, to-day opened up the
fight from the West by introducing q
resolution requiring the secretary OF the
interior to furnish the senate with ali
Information regarding the geological
survey. The assumption OF the re'oiu-
tlun is that MIR. Powell has NOT con-
ductcd the geological survey In bus,-
ncss-liko manner lie inquired into
the duties OF the office and wanted TO
know why Mr. Powell was APP
pointed director lie inquired into the
disposition Of the appropriations, who
arc down on the rolls of the geological
survey, by whom appointed, and the
character Of the work they perform. In
fact, IL is the intention of the resolution
to ascertain all there is in tho geological
survey. It has been alleged that there
are many broken down relatives of sena.
tors and representatives. in the geological
survey receiving large salaries, and with
this Kind ola pull MIR. Powell manages
to keep going. The Western people
propose To- show him up, and II pos siblo
cause an investigation. The senators
from the four new states are behind tho
movement, with several Others who are

against the whole system that 1t Is very
doubtful il any appropriation uf any
kind for irrigation can be obtained al
the present session OF congress, There
are very few supporters OF the Powell
scheme left and 1t Is now probable that
even should n point of order b,
made against the amendment repeating
the withdrawal of the act of lNsN, and be
sustained by the chair, that the decision
OF the chair will be voted down by the
house when the facts are shown that
one third OF the United States is with

recognize that great injustice has been
done, and the feeling now is that the
states themselves should regulate their
own irrigation matters as they see III.

ELKo, New, June 20.-Elko is IN a
state of excitement, and people are
pouring in to witness the execution of
Josiah Potts and Elizabeth, his wife, for
the murder of Miles Fawcett in Janu-
ary, 1888. Sixteen women have already
applied to the sheriff for permits to wit
ness the execution, which were refused.
The conduct of Mrs. Potts for the past
five days has been an alienation of
hysterical crying, screaming and swear
ing at her husband, who spends his
time in his own cell at solitaire. Owing
to ap~prehensions of trouble on the part
of Mrs. Potts the officials have kept the
hour of execution secret. Yesterday
morning at 5 o'clock the woman at

wrists and trying TO smother herself.

agricultural regions of the central val
leys and southern states, while alb
normal temperature has prevailed along

Sofas are agitating against the course of
the Sultan in entertaining foreigners
with banquets and fetes, and ignoring
the intense misery in the country and
the sufferings Of the moslems. At a
meeting of Sofas it was declared that the
moment had arrived to restore the old
regime as alone conducive to the great
ness and prosperity of the empire. The
Sultan is alarmed and suspects that the
movement was prompted by persons in
his encourage. Since Tuesday the gates
of the Yllkiz Kiosk have been closely
guarded, and ingress and egress have
been prevented. Several civil and mil
itary officials have been arrested.
