the amount OF sunshine and deficiency
In the temperature; the mean tenn
perature ranged about 54 degrees, while
the extreme ranged 4S to 81 degrees.
All vegetation has made excellent
growth during the past week; the
weather conditions were very favorable.
The hay crop is unusually heavy and is
now readv to cut in some sections the
rains have caused it to fall down. Warm,
dry weather is desired to enable haying
to progress. Some of the fall sown wheat
is showing the effects of the damp
weather; but no serious damage is an-
ticipated. Spring sown grain is very
promising. The grain has all stooled
well and has very thrifty appearance.
The outlook at the present time is the
most tiattering for very heavy yield of
gram. The cherries and strawberries
are ripening; few days OF sunshine will
cause them to ripen very rapidly. Fruits
and berries, while they were generally
slightly injured by the late frosts of May,
are very promising. The food of the
Columbia has done very little damage
TO vegetation, except to the hay and
vegetable productions along the north
ern edge of Multnomah and Columbia
counties and the islands close thereto.

one year in the penitentiary. The sheriff
and his charge dropped in at the Transfer
house bar to enjoy nice invigorating
drink. The prisoner made up his mind
that, after mature deliberation, that he
did not wish to spend the coming year in
such close quarters as would be accorded
him in Salem, so made q dash for liberty
He ran out the side door, the sheriff in
swift pursuit. He then ran along the
porch TO the west end and jumped off.
thinking to alight on solid ground, and
would then be able to get away the night
being dark. He was greatly Mortified
when he alighted, to find himself in the
| small stream that flows along there, and
after tioundering around and having be-
come thoroughly saturated, was captured.
The sheriff took his prisoner out OF town
| on the next train and gave him no more
opportunity to give an exhibition OF his
fooi-racing proclivities.
