THE CRoPs.-Pagues report for week
ending July 2S: The weather has been
very favorable 10 farming operations.
The hay crop has been practically Sc
cured; it is of good quality and as a rule
very heavy; in the coast counties some
haying is yet in progress. Afew headers
and binders started last week on the fall
sown wheat but this week will zee the
fall wheat harvest in full blast. The
wheat is turning out very well; the gen
eral impression is that the wheat aphis
did no injury TO the winter wheat. In
Linn county the opinion prevails that
the wheat crop will not be such large
one, though the general average will tie
maintained; the wheat aphis has done
some damage to the wheat. The spring
sown grain would be benefited by rain,
though it has good stand and usually q
good color Winter oats are being cut.
As rule the oats are in good condition.
The hops have generally good growth
and few lice are so far observable. Many
new yards were put out in the spring and
are doing well.

able paper. Times are hard, and am
poor man and not able to run this wealth
er and crop report for the benefit of the

ments attention TO it. l have always

$3.50 TO THE ToN.-Cottage Grove |
Leader: The Bohemia mines are slowly,
but surely coming to the front, and the |
time hss come when no other mining |
section in the great Northwest is attract !
ing the attention of as many capitalists,
investors, experts and prospectors as this !
new Eldorado. From time to time rlany |
rich prospects have been brorght forth |
from these mines and assaysd, ard in |
every instance the returns have proven |
the mines to be remarkably Iich, with |
free milling ore. But the record was
broken this week when Messrs Chr;sman. |

bys Smelling Works, of San Francisco, |

Az 0LD FASHIONED BET.-The Dalles |
Chronicle says: To decide bet as to |
whether sn animal could drag go lbs !
OF sand in a sack at the end OF a rope
half mile long. the experiment was
tried on Third street today. There is an |
idea that q weight. after il is a certain |
distance from the power applied TO move !
it, becomes practically immoyable. and |
the repeating OF this statement led 10 |
the trial today, the bet being that a
csTtain mule could not drag the sack 50 !
feet. The question was soon decided. |
for the animal walked off with il and |
could not be stopped until the end OF |
the block was reached.
