Looking through the Jail door to-day

the floor, we presume, fast asleep I'm
doubtedly he had been indulging his ap-

him "where the wicked cease from troub-
ling and the weary are al rest"
A reporter to the Statesman, who has
been making tour for the purpose, finds
that at least one-third of the unusually
large crop of wheat in Walla Walla
county Is now only fit for chicken feed,
and the loss in Umatilla county is esti-
mated at over go per cent. The rain
caught many of the largest wheat rasiers
with their grain still in the stack.
Word reached us to-day to the effect
that Phil Rrogan, sr., storted from The

surgical treatment. 1t IS reported that

sent to Chicago, in order to ascertain e

Dallas Observer: Polk county "gets a
there when 1t comes to hops Her crop Il
has more than doubled in the past year.
We can now claim the second hop county
in the state. AS compiled from reports
of our hcpmen, the estimated number of
bales this season is 1865, as against 5000 |
bales last year. Basel on the general 8
average of $50 pounds to the bale gives . n
grand total l,l45,7o0 pounds; at Is cents
per pound the crop would call for $206, p
226. Verify, no little sum for the Polk s
county hop growers. 8
We have heard it estimated from per- b
son who is acquainted with the situation
that from 100000 to $4,000 bushels OF
wheat have been damaged by the late 2
rains in sherman county. Where sacks b
have been exposed to the weather the a
grain is not saleable. This is a heavy :.
blow on the farmers of this portion of
Eastern Oregon, as for the past three or v
tour years they have been very unfortunate 8
in their harvcsts. The highest prices .
paid at the railroad stations have been 81 C
and 3S cents, and this hardly pays for o
seed and the expenses of harvesting and
threshing
