Wheat is all cut and much of it is
threshed. In every section the yield has
been above the expectations of even the
most sanguine. The wheat is plump,
heavy and of excellent quality. Oats
are heavy and as a rule are large in
yields; late oats have been injured
slightly by rust in parts of Marion
county. The threshers will be busy for
about two weeks yet. Hop picking be-
gins next Monday; in some sections con-
siderable damage has been done by the
lice, while in other sections good aver
age crop will be picked. In Josephine
county mop lice are not observable and
no damage has been done. Fruit is
ripening rapidly and is very plentiful.

EVIDENTLY A FRAUD:
The Pacific Coast Home Supply Associa-
tion.

ClOns
INDIAN VALLEY, Aug. 22.ITo THE
EDIToR.l Is there an association of
wholesale merchants in Portland called
"The Pacific Coast Home Supply Asso-
ciation?" There has been. travelling
agent representing this association in
this part of the country. He guarantees
to the farmers "all kinds of goods
handled by this association" at whole
sale prices in Portland with the freight
added.
In order to obtain these rates it is
necessary to become member of this
association. And this costs the farmer
seven dollars, and this sum is to be paid
to the agent, when he shall deliver to
the farmer a certificate of membership,
which is to be delivered some time in
October. Is this a fraud or not? Please
answer through the Oregonian.
[Diligent inquiry among wholesale
merchants fails to discover any trace of
such concern as the CLONE Supply
Association" and the merchants say
they have no time for such business,
and pronounce the s'agent," so-called, a
swindler. Such swindling scoundrels
are travelling through the country in all
directions preying principally upon
| farmers, but some of them like the one
exposed day or two since getting ahead
swindling schemes have been exposed,
but new and more entieing ones have
been constantly invented, and the
farmer is selected for a victim in
most cases. If parties who are APP
preached by such swindling agents
would follow the example of the writer
of the above letter they might often
save themselves from being victimized. ]

working the country south of here,
around Dufur, Kingsley and Tygh neigh

and we are told he has succeeded in de-
ceiving Quilted a number of people. We
learn that he has arranged to come back
in short time with the certificates and
to collect the seven dollars from each
victim. That his is a swindle there is
no doubt in the world, and we warn the
people to give him no quarter. The
