Oregon State Weather Bureau in ce-3pera-
tion ciM U. s. Signal Service, centrul Office,
Portland, Oregon. For ,ceek. ending July
Ie, 1890:
The temperature has been cooler than
average for the week; partly cloudy to
cloudy weather with local rains have pre-
vailed. The temperature has ranged from
so to so degrees. The amount of rainfall
has varied from 10 of an inch to over one
inch.
The weather has been unfavorable to the
haying operations; considerable was cut and
down when the rains came on, and some Of
it was injured. In addition the rains have
delayed the hay harvest, causing it to come
too close to the wheat fall harvest, which in
sections has begun, and in most places win
be in full sway next week. The hay crop
is far better than expected.
The weather was very beneficial to the
fall and spring wheat crops; also to the
corn. The fall wheat has generally filed
very well, the berry is large and plump.
The spring wheat, which on June lst was
thought to be worthless, Is growing nicely
and will yield almost an average crop in
most sections
Root crops are all in most promising
condition. Hops continue to thrive aud
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. Ore
gon peaches are coming into the market.
The peach crop Of Southern Oregon will
not be over so per cent of the average.
Through the Willamette valley the crop
will be slightly better. In Wasco county
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 Josephine
counties.
The grass on the ranges of Eastern Ore
gon is very good for the lateness of the sea-
son and cattle are in prime condition. The
wheat crop in the Willamette valley will bez
almost an average; in Southern Oregon
about an average; in Wasco, Sherman, Gill
liam and Morrow counties better than for
years; in Umatilla and Union counties the
largest ever produced; in Wallowa. Baker.
Grant, Crook and interior counties fully an
average crop. Reports from all sections in.
dicate that bountIful harvest is assured.

A bear made visit to the sheep camp of
Kenneth McRae away up in the wilds of
the Blue mountains south of this valley at
the witching hour of midnight lately, and,
watched the commandment beauty of the
two herders for the space of while. and
then, not finding any salt bacon or fresh
mutton hanging IN the camp he concluded
to sample herder or two by way OF whet.
ting his appetite. He therefore approached
one the sleepers and grabbed him by the
shoulder, pulling him outfof the blankets.
OF course the herders yelled as only fright
ened sheep herders can when grim death in
the person of a 9OO-pound bear is fastening
his grip about them. Their cries struck
terror to the heart of the bear and he ran
away from them after scratching one of the
men pretty severely. 1t is safe 10 predict
that they have not slept on the ground in
open air since that memorable occasion.

1t is evident that the escaped prisoners
made key out of a case knife and unlocked
the outside door of the Jail, poking a wire
through the grating and lifting the lock SO
the key could be inserted. THREE kniyes

could be found after the boys left. That
one had been tempered in the fire and used
for a file.

of q. c. Mccoy, has gobbled up about all
the small mail contracts in this section, and

them, he having taken them lower than any
one can afford to carry the mail. 1t IS no

be compelled to pay quite premium on

Terrible Situation of q Father anc
Three Children.


From the Philadelphia Press
MONROE, MICH, Dec. 7.-One of Farmer
Kreiger's little girls was ground TO pieces
by flying passenger train last night The
father and his three little ones were cross
ing Otter Greek upon the open trestle bridge
of the Lake Shore road. The distance from
end to end is considerable, as the banks of
the little stream are high and some distance
apart.
When about in the center of the bridge
the father was Mortified to see a train APP
preaching. 1t was impossible to get off the
bridge. The father looked for place to
shield his children, and the engineer whis-
tied loud and often. He made the little
ones stand upon ths edge of the ties, but saw
that even then the projecting steps of the
car would hurl them flying into the water
and probably to instant death.
just as the engine was about to strike the
two smallest ones he seized them and
jumped into the river, shouting to the third
to follow. she was girl of Il years and
stood for an instant ready to leap, and then,
fearing to make the plunge, turned and ran
toward the opposite shore She had gone
only few steps when the train struck her,
and she was ground to pieces under the
wheels.
The father. after a struggle in the icy
water and mud, reached shore with the

NEW LONDON, CONN, Dec. An the
little country hamlet Of Mantle, in Lyme
few miles west of this city, Mrs. Wilcox,
widow of the late Charles Wilcox, killed
herself Tuesday by taking aconite. Mrs.
Wilcox was an odd woman She dwelt in
the upper half of H. l. Smiths house, and
appeal ed to be very cheerful. Tuesday af-
ternoon the Smith family heard groans,
assembled to her rooms, and found Mrs. Will
cox on the floor dying Of poison.
For several weeks the woman had been
very busy with her needle She was max
ing beautiful white dress for herself, and
she added to it a fine collar and cuffs, and
seemed TO be very proud of her creation.
Evidently Mrs Wilcox was about to make a
great social impress ion by wearing her
dress among her neighbors, but none of
pear in it. They know now. Mrs. Wilcox
had been making the beautiful white dress
for her shroud, and that idea was what she
had been singing about as she toiled.
She left written directions saying that she
must be laid in her coffin in the white dress,
and the person that laid her out would not
forget TO add the snowy collar and cuffs to
the rest of her attire.
The reason she killed herself is found in a
letter written Just before she took poison
to Miss Lizzie Sheldon, New Haven. In it
she said that "a voice told her that within
year she would be an inmate of an insane
asylum. To avoid that fate she decided to
