CENTRAL OFFICE, PORTLAND, OREGON.
REMARKS,
This bulletin in based on reports re-
ceived from 1853 correspondents. Owing
to the entire difference between western
and eastern Oregon, this bulletin will in
future be divided into two parts, one
will treat entirely of that section west of
the Cascades, the other of that section
east of them.
WESTERN OREGON WEATHER.
The temperature has been from nor
NAL condition in the southern part to
three degrees above the normal in the
northern part. The actual temperature
ranging from forty to seventy-fve de-
grees. Showers occurred on several
days, on the 18th and 10Th, thunder ac-
companying them. The winds have
been light to fresh in force and variable
in direction. No frosts have been re-
ported. Cloudy or partially cloudy
weather predominated, with warm,
bright sunshine at intervals.
CROPS.
Marked growth in all vegetation, dur
ing the week has been reported. Fall
wheat has had rapid growth. Early
sown spring wheat is above the ground
and growing remarkably well. Oats are
healthy and equal to wheat in growth.
Spring seeding has been rapidly pushed
and considerable progress has been made.
The acreage has been generally largely
increased. Fruit trees are all blooming
and leafing generally, some bloom is fall
ing. Fruit prospects were never better.
Gardens are coming on. Early sown
seed showing above ground. Straw
berries in bloom and small berries size OF
pea formed of the early varieties. Sheep
shearing in progress. Hops are being
trained and growing rapidly.
EASTERN OREGON WEATHER.
The temperature has been about nor
NAL. A few showers fell, but not an
average amount. The weather was gen
orally, partly cloudy or cloudless with
bright, warm sunshine. A few frosts are
reported south of the Blue mountains.
North of the Blue Mountains spring
is well advanced-The ground is becom-
ing dry. Fall wheat has remarkably
good growth, spring grain is all sowed
and most of it is up and growing well.
Grain prospects were never better.
Fruit trees are in full bloom, and trees
are leafing out, berry bushes in full leaf.
The grass is growing well. Farmers are
busy plowing for summer fallow. Show
ers would prove beneficial, for the sec
tion is very dusty and ground in fields
is caking on top. South of the Blue
mountains spring is not SO far advanced.
The temperature is lower but crops are
doing well. Fruit showing buds and
bloom.
Sheep are in fine condition, shearing
is in progress but will be in full blast
next week. Lambing has bee n remark
ably successful. The increase will be
from 80 to 100 per centum. The range
is good and stock is generally reported
to be doing well. B. S. PAGUE.

A representative of the CHRONICLE
took trip last Saturday out as far as the
Tygh ridge country. Fall grain was
noticed everywhere as being in fine con-
dition. The season is backward and in
the higher regions the grass has made
but little growth. Seeding is well
through, and will be practically ended
this week. Young grain where it is
above the ground looks good, healthy
color. A larger area than usual will be
turned under for summer fallow The
ground is now SO dry on top that fears
are entertained that late sown grain may
not.sprout without rain, but if it rains
any time during this month, these fears
will be dissipated.

Mr.. ). +. Pratt, Of the United States coast and

the survey will begin, two or three recorders be-
Ing engaged TO assist the captain.
The first survey of Seattle harhor was made
seventeen or eighteen years ago and since then
It's appearance has entirely changed The
wharyes and railroads have been built along the
water front and the alluvial deposits of the river
have extended the tide fists to such an extent as
TO cause serious encroachment on the area of
deep water. just what the extent of this en-
croachment Is cannot be ascertain ed except
from hsarsay evidence, as no survey was made
OF that part of the harbor. The survey Of sal
mon bay 10 an entirely new undertaking, no
survey has ever been made by the coast survey
bureau.
The first thing to do is to determine the lati-
tude and longitude of some prominent points In
the city by triang ulation. As the marks OF tri-
angulstion made in the harbor in the first sur

from the nearest known triangulation points,
which are across the Sound, one being q short
distance south of Blakeley and two others not
Tar north of that point. From these he will
work across the Sound to this harbor and Sal
mon bay and mark new triangulation points.
From these he Will make the photographic
survey, showing the outline of the shore and all
the improvements bordering it-wharvcs,
streets, railroads, etc. Then he viii make
soundinge all along the shore, which will show
the depth OF water and the lines OF high and low
tide
Another very important branch of the work 10
the observation of the tides. The predictions Of
the time and height of tides along the Pacific
coast are based on observations made through a
long period of years at certain principal points
san Diego, San Francisco, Astoria, Port Towns
end, Sitka, and ST. Paul, on Kadiak island. The
predictions for Port Townsend are taken 9
basis for all Puget sound points, the official tide
tables showing the corrections to be made for
each port Observations at this port have hith-
erto been made for only one month at a stretch.
Mr.. Pratt proposes to have observations made

For this purpose he has had erected under the
Seattle Coal Iron Compsny's bunkefs, at the
foot oil Madison street, small wooden building,
in which 10 placed an automatic tide gauge, in
charge OF his brother, A E. Pratt By this con-
triyance the tides made to record their rise
and fall from day to day and hour to hour. in
Guiding the slightest variation. In fact. IL IL
elsimed that this machine will register earth
quskes. Two long boxes are put down from the
gauge into about twenty-five feet of water, or
about three feet below the lowest low tide mark.
Inside of one box is q copper wire, to which q
copper float is attached. As the tide comes
in or goes out, this float rises or
falls, and the wire is wound on
or unwound from a wheel BY means of a weight
attached TO the same shaft on q smaller pulley.
Az the wire is wound or let out chain attached
to the same shaft is wound or unwound and
moves q pencil over O drum, which is controlled
by q clock. On this. drum Ia stretched q sheet of
paper on which are ruled spaces equivalent to
the distance the drum win turn in an hour, aud
the machine has been adjusted to register
movement of one-eighteenth of q foot for every
foot of rise or fell in the tide. The drum makes
one complete revolution In twenty-fou hours,
and the clock moves it about one and
one-fourth inches in an hour. As the
clock moves the drum and che tide
raises or lowers the float, the pencil
makes continuous curved line on the paper,
showing the exact rise and fall in each twenty
four hours. In order to avoid the necessity of
putting ney sheet of paper on the drum every
day, q continuous sheet 10 last q month win be
used, winding to and from the drum with
rollers. By this means the gauge can be left to
work itself.
Other devices will be used to verify the record
of the automatic guage, 30 that 1t may be adj
justed when necessary. twenty-foot guage
staff, graduated to tenths and one-hundredths of
a foot and attached to = hoat, has been put
down in the water from the same building, so
that its indications may be at any time com.
pared with the record of the machine. Another
gauge staff has been spiked to pile in the open
water under the bunkers, from which to take
indications in case of accident to the other
gauges. This, however, will not be so accurate,
as its indications viii be affected by the surface
movement of the water. 1t will, however, prove
useful for triangulations on perfectly calm
day. The gauges viii be put in operation in
few days.
The work of the survey will occupy about six
months, and thus will continue far into the
winter.
