CROP WEATHER BULLETIN NO. 12

Oregon State Weather Bureau IN CO. opera.
tion soiM U. S. Signal Service, central Office,
Portland, Oregon. For sccek ending May
81, 1890:
Sunday and Monday were warm and
cloudless, the remainder of the week was
cool and cloudy with rain, which fell quite
copiously in the Willamette valley and with
showers elsewhere. Rain fell on the 2Sth,
10Th, Both and 3lst in Western Oregon and
on the 30th and 3lst in Eastern Oregon.
On the 2sth and 29th it was generally light.
Owing to the correspondents having to mail
their reports on Thursday the rain is not
generally reported. Next weeks bulletins
will evidently show the general effect of the
rain. Cool, windy weather prevailed in
Eastern Oregon with frosts in sections,
which did slight damage to tender vegeta.
tion.
The lain came down at a most opportune
time and has greatly benefited everything.
Rain two weeks ago would bave insured
large spring crop; but as it is, usual condi-
tiops from now on will allow Of large
crop to be harvested. In many sections
late sown spring grain did not gsrminate.
and the present rains may yet produce
yields were none were expected. Rain was
badly needed; mp to the 2Sth none of any
consequence having fallen since April Goth,
and the temperature has been rather high.
as a result the ground became hard and
there was not that grswth which was de-
sired. In Grant county on the 26th tenn
perature reached 90 degrees, and grass on
hills is drying up. Killing frosts in Baker
county on the 2Sth and 30th, and light in
Union county which did little damage on
2Sth. Grain and other crops are very
promising in the Grande Ronde valley. In
Umatilla county snow fell in the mountains
on the 2Sth. Wheat heading out and doing
finely; in spots it is burned slightly.
Spring wheat is very promising. In Nor
row. wheat continues promising, and more
rain is desired. Considerable wind during
the week. Rain is needed in Gillian
conuty. Rye has made good crop; wheat
looks well and rain will insure fine yield.
Apples promising well. Frost on 28th did
some damage; spring grain not doing well.
In Wasco and Sherman winter wheat prom
ising. Cool weather very beneficial. Late
sown grain has not come up well. Fruit is
doing well. In jackson county alfalfa cut
ting began on Goth; yield good. The con-
tinued warm dry weather unfavorably
affected crops in Douglas county. but the
present rain will produce a favorable
change. Excellent crops are almost now
certain throughout the Willamette valley.
Fall wheat when sown on summer fallow is
in fine condition, and in any event will
produce good crop; when sown ON stubble
land it is not so good. The spring wheat
has been an uncertain crop. but the present
weather will allow of a fair crop to be har-
vested. Strawberries are cheap and plenti-
full. Cherries are nearly ripe. Vegetables
are abundant. 1t seldom fails to rain at
the proper time in Oregon, and the present
rain was most opportune.

ally denies that be committed'the murder
he is accused of. He claims that when he
arrived at the apartment of Galrlelie
Bompard on the fatal day he found there

the police there. Ie denied his identity
in such candid way that he was released.
When arrested Eyraud was armed with
a revolver and dagger. and was searching
for the wife of the hotel keeper, who had
given him away to the police to murder
her. He told friend he would be re
venged and then kill himself.

ONE SIDE OF A STORY.

SAN Francisco, May 30.-Osborn Con-
gelton, prohibition orator, who has been
engaged in lecturing throughout the state,
took the boat from this city to Alameda
last evening. Some hours later he was

scalp wound, and bullet, evidently fired
from small caliber pistol, had broken a
small pair of scissors which he carried in
his vest pocket, causing an abrasion OF
the skin. Congelton claims that when be
stepped upon the ferryboat he was accost-
ed by stranger who called him by name
and who continued conversation with him
regarding prohibition matters until they
arrived at Alameda, where they separated,
Congelton telling the stranger that he in
tended returning to Oakland the same
night to attend lecture. An hour later,
when the prohIbitlonist took the train for
Oakland, he was again accosted by the
stranger, who accompanied him to his
destination. On leaving the train the
stranger insisted on directing Congelton to
the church the latter wished to attend,
although Congelton protested he was
taking wrong direction. They had not
gone far, he states, when he was struck on
the head by club and became insenslble.
He claims that when he recovered con-
seriousness he heard some one say Kill
him." and pistol flashed. He again
became insensible and remained so until
he found himself in the waters of Oakland
creek. He managed to Chamber upon the
wharf, where he was found by conductor.
Congelton was formerly editor of the
Philadelphia Quill, prohibition paper,
and is now acting as correspondent for the
New York Voice. the national prohibition
paper. He claims to have received letter
last Sunday signed "Vigilance Committee"
threatening him unless he stopped his
efforts In behalf of prohibition and return

Bill Neff and the Lynx Both Surprfs,

Bill Nell and the Lynx Both Surprised.
A large lynx made a visit to Bill
Neff's cabin on the Emerald and made
a lengthy stay-in fact, Mr.. Lynx is
there yet The animal was attracted
by some meat that was hanging out
side the door of the cabin. There was
no lock or bolt to secure the opening,
and while it was climbing up to reach
the meat the door swung open and al
lowed the lynx to founder in, where
he proved a genuine surprise party to
Bill, who was Willing away the hours
by reading tiger stories. 1t was hard
to tell which was the most surprised,
the lynx or the man, but the former
evidently thought Bill meant business
when it saw him reach for the ak, and
at once made spring,
For several minutes they fought at
close quarters, and at last Bill broke
away from the beast and climbed up on
the sleeping bunk, where he could get
elbow room to swing his weapon. On
came the lynx, but missed his footing.
This was Bills time. As the animal
made another spring for the bunk, the
ak was swung aloft and the pole was
brought down on the skull of the ami
NAL with the usual dull. sickening
thud. :" The lynx dropped in heap,
and Bill came down from his perch to
find that his blow had smashed tho
skull. The animal was stone dead
Netf's clothes were torn to tatters, and
he says the lynx weighed $50 pounds
We are promised one of the paws,
which covers a surface larger than a
mans hand, and shall be pleased to
show it to any one who doubts the
story. -Silverton Miner.

Three Women Who Write.

Three women whom the public
takes an interest in were on upper
Broadway the other afternoon. The
first was the Marquise LAMA, the
daughter of DR., Hammond, stout,
Well-proportioned, bright-eyed, rosy
checked woman, with wealth of
curly brown hair. She lives in style
in Seventv-second street, has num-
berless friends and entertains in a
queenly way. Her rooms are deco
rated with odd pieces of bric-a brac,
gathered during many trips abroad.
She is one of the best mandolin play
ers in New York, quick at repartee,
and many leagues in advance of most
women in originality of ideas and lib
erality of thought. She has about
completed a new novel.
The second women is slight of
build, but would be noticeable even
in crowd She has singularly open
face and profusion of fluffy hair.
She goes along the street with the air
of a business woman, who has a great
deal to do and only short time to
do it in. 1t is Ella Wheeler Wilcox,
the poetess of passion, although she
looks very far from being poetess.
Like the Marquise LAMA, she enter
tains on a liberal scale and her par
lors are always crowded on reception
nights. she has hopes of establish
ing salon in New York. She is
