THE wEArHEn OF OREGON.
Biennial Report of the State Weather
Factory. With Observer Stationed

at portland.
From the Salem Statesman.l
State Printer Baker now has force of
twenty-six men employed in the state
printing Office and they are running full
time. The biennial report of the Oregon
state weather bureau, cooperating, with
the United States department of agri-
cultures weather bureau, is now in
hand. H. E. Haynes is director of the
bureau and B. S. Pague local forecast Of
fetal. In this report they recommend
the printing of $4,000 copies of the re-
port, and ask an appropriation of $1,000
for the purchase of instruments, etc.
since the last biennial report was rem
dered, the work of establishing stations
OF observation has steadily progressed,
until now there are eighty points IN the
stale having standard government in
struments, from which vital climatic
data can be and is ascertaiRed.
Especial attention has been paid to
the extension of the service, especially
in the more sparsely and comparatively
unknown counties removed from the
center OF population. 1t has been es-
peclally endeavored to fit out the various
colleges of the state very completely in
order that the students may have the
benefits of the practical work of meteor
illogical observation. The state univer-
sity, government experiment station,
Pacific university, and Mt. Angel college
are thoroughly equipped with meteoro-
logical instruments. The state Normal
school at Monmouth is also soon to be
equipped. The first meteorological
records made in Oregon were those made
by the U. 5. Hospital corps in July,
1850; the first were commenced at Fort
Dalles, and during the next month they
were commenced at Astoria. The long
est continuous record of precipitation in
the state made by private individuals is
that. made by Thos. Pierce, at his farm
ON Eola hills, they forming an uninter-
rupted record of twenty two consecu-
tive years The longest record, cover
ing period of eighteen years, made by
b private individual, of temperature,
precipitation, etc., is the record made
by Saml. L. Brooks, OF The Dalles. The
record made by John Briggs, at Albany,
and the one made by George Bennett, at
Bandon, each covering period of over
fifteen years, form the next largest
record in the state:

public, there be many in Webfoot who
will decide that the state exhibit of wis

There is one thing to the advantage
of the people about having text books
furnished by the state. If they are
paid for out of the public treasury the
chances are that the legislative assem-
bly, might be little more careful about
providing a law to have them changed,
so often as they do now, at the expense
of the parents.

Referring to the jute bag factory in the
Walla Walla penitentiary, the Union
Journal says the directors will soon pub
lish their annual report, and then exact
figures will be given to show the states
profit by the running of the jute mill.
1t was said last summer that with the
new invoice of jute then just ordered,
the state would reduce the cost of iute
bags nearly two cents each by the differ
ence in cost of material. Those made
this year could not cost more than five
cents each, and those of next year will
consequently be made for three cents or
fraction over. This may be regarded
as good news for the farmer as we'll az
for the tax payer of the state generally

The superstition about the number 13
being unlucky is put to multiplied test
in the new 25-cent pieces. On one side
of the coin there is no less than ten
repetitions of the number 13. There are
Is stars, 13 letters in the scroll held in
the eagles beak, Is marginal feathers
in each wing, 13 tail feathers, 13 paral-
lei lines in the shield, 13 horizontal
bars, 13 arrow heads in one claw, l3
leaves on the branch in the other claw,
and 13 letters in the words quarter dol
lar. There hasn't seemed to be any,
thing unluckv in the 13 original states,
nor in the l3 stripes on the flag, and
now it remains to be seen if the man
who gets his pockets full of these new
quarter dollars will be unlucky.
The meeting of the Small and Early

Sometime about Thanksgiving past,
Mrs. s. L. Brooks sent choice collec-
ton of beautiful roses and chrysanthe-
mdms from her flower garden in this
city to relative living near st. Paul,
MINI. The flowers arrived in good con-
dition, but as the lady was then in St.
Paul, visiting a married daughter, her,
husband forwarded them. They reached
st. Paul just in time for pink luncheon
her daughter was giving to about thirty
five of her lady friends. One OF her
guests received a box of roses and chrys-
anthemums from California the same
day, and brought them over for the
ladies to admire; thus it happened that
OREGON and California "came with their
flowers to help brighten the house."
Minnesota's offerings were pink chrsy-
anthemums grown in the green house,
at rs cents per dozen. With the ther--
mometer down to zero that day, writes
the lady. 81 muet tell you that your
flowers were very much admired and
talked about by the ladies. For the dis
tance they had travelled, and as they
were grown out of doors. in the open
air, it made them objects of more in
terest- than our home grown flowers.
Please accept my thanks for the love
that prompted you in sending them, for
assure you we all appreciate them"

FELL TAKES A FALL
He Discrininates in Favor Of
Swift & Company
IN FREIGHT SHIPPING RATES
And Is Now Under an Indictment Found
By a Federal Jury--GTest Rejoicing
Among Freight Agents.

CHICAGO, May l3.-Abraham Fell of
Buffalo, n. y, general freight traffic
manager OF the Delaware, Laeka-
wanna & Western railway. was indicted
by tho federal grand jury today on a
charge of giving discriminating freight
rates TO Swift 81 Co.. the packers. OF
this city.
Fell is alleged to have violated the
inter state commerce law relating 10
freight rates for over year. and proof
was presented SO the grand jury that
on Fell's orders exactly $50 .9o7. 6s Was
paid TO Swift * Co., IN rebates through
one OF their agents last year, and that
at another period S2400 MAS also paid
to the same agent whose name Is A. X.
Fay. The rebates, 1t is charged, were
paid by Fell while he was also agent Tor
the Wabash d Lackawanna dispatch, a
fast line composed OF tue Wabash,
Grand Trunk and Delaware. Lacka-
wanna & Western railways. The bills
were paid, but Fell gave drawback OF
5 cents on each hundred pounds by
handing Swifts agent, 4. X. Fay, a
check for the amount. This was
charged up as commissions paid IN
Fay TOR securing the business for Mr..
Fell. The accounts of bank az the
Stock Yards was presented to the jury
and 1t was shown that Mr.. Fay had de-
posted the money ono day and drawn
1t oat the next, and afterwards depos-
tied it TO the credit of Swift & Co. All
the evidence by which it Is expected
to prove Mr.. FelPs guilt is DOCUMENTARY
and thus will be avoided the danger OF
summoning witnesses who will at the
last moment refuse to testify.
There is great rejoicing among
freight agents over the news that Mr..
Fell had been indicted. Complaint
after complaint had been filed with
Interstate Agent Ketschmar and Dis
trlct Attorney Milchrist that Fell had
been creating havoc in freight rates
and that his appearance in the city was
sufficient to cause break in the rates.
