AFruitfuI valley.

The Hood River valley will produce a
heavy crop of peaches, prunes and apples
this season. and these will be in fine condi-
tion for shipment. On account of the rail-
road track being destro, ed by the food the
berry. crop dId not turn out as well as other
years; but apples promise to yield more
abundantly than for many seasons. and
there will be large quantity exported. M
interruption to transportation need be
feared. and the farmers of Hood River have
bright hopes of reaping rich harvest from
the products OF the coil. The question of
fruit.growing In that vicinity has been
demonstrated to be success for several
years, and in the future more attention will
be devoted to this Industry. Large and
thrifty orchards can nCw be seen in all di-
rections in the valley, and not a season
passes that large areas OF virgin soil are rot
cultivated to fruit.

new Rate ON wheat.

This Is what the Walla Walla Statesman
says regarding the reduction of freight
rates on wheat:
''The reduction on freight rates on wheat,
announced by the o. &. & N. and Union
Pacific companies, is not as satisfactory as
could be wished under the circumstances.
A Portland dispatch of the l4th inst. states
that General Manager Hendrick. Assistant
General Superintendent Dickenson, Attor-
ney Ashton and General Freight Agent
Fulton, of the Union Pacific, aud Receiver
Mcneil aud General Freight Agent Camp
bell, of the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company, held a conference in that city
Tuesday which resulted in the reduction
from 81 20 to $50 per ton on wheat from
the Waila Walla. Pendleton and Ritzville
districts to the seaboard, and the adoption
of S. per ton rate from points east of the
Blue mountains"

Following is crop p-weather bulletin, No.
90, of the Oregon state weather service,
for the week ending Monday, Aug. Is, "a,
by 8. M. Blandford, observer:
EASTERN OREGON.
Weather-Normal temperature condi-
tlons prevailed during the week. The
precipitation was below the normal ex-
cept in Baker county, where some bene-
ficial showers occurred. The sunshine
was possibly below the average.
Crops-In the Columbia and Walla
Walla valleys the yields of fall grain are
very satisfactory. At Endersby, in Wasco
county, correspondent states the crop is
the largest for years. Many large yields
are reported from the Walla Wslla yal-
ley. In some sections of Wasce county
some grain is reported as shriveled, con-
sequently not first class; but the berry,
as rule, is plump. The grain crop gen.
orally is what farmers expected, and the
damage by the grain aphls is slight and
confined TO localities. The barley crop
is accordingly good. Our correspondent
from Heppner, Morrow county, states
that there will be an abundant crop
wheat and barley. Harvesting is being
advanced; the headers are running early
and late. There appears to be some kind
of sickness among the horses from which
several died at Ella, Morrow county.
Stock is In good condition and there is a
good sale for beef cattle.
In the interior and eastern counties the
fall wheat and barley crops are being
harvested and some early sown speing
grain Is riDe enough to cut. Grain RIP
ened slowly, and, as consequence, the
berry is plump. No threshing has yet
been done. correspondent from Crook
county states that the harvest will be the
largest in the history of the county; hut
the aphis is on all kinds of grain. Hay
ing Is well advanced; the crop will be
short in Grant county. The crop of al
falfa will be an average in all sections.
The potato crop Is unusually promising.
All kinds of stock are in fine condition
and are being sold at fair prices.

For several days past Messrs Dennis
Bunnell, A. w. Moore, A. French and J.
NJ. Baldwin have been in camp near Wind
river, enjoying an outing. This is de-
lIghtful spot, ami game aud fish are very
abundant. Trout appear anxious to be
caught, and the fly no sooner touch the
water than members of the 6nny tribe be-
gin to pihble it. Mr.. Bunnell returned on
the boat last evening. and says they have
caught about 800 trout dnriDg their yaca-
ton. These they have salted. and very
many OF our citizens will partake of brain
food hereafter. Messrs. Moore, French and
Baldwin started yesterday afternoon from
their camp near Sprague in sail boat, and
may be expected to arrive in the city this
evening

A River Of 81 ,od

Settlers along the North Santiam in the
mountains the first Of the week were thrown
into wonder and excitement by the pecul-
lar appearance of the stream. which flowed
for hours, river of apparent blood. But
it had a natural explanation. A heavy
thunder storm had ragged in the mountains
above Detroit and bolt of lightning had
struck the bank overhsnging the river
causing an immense landslide of the red
cl,v formation. which completely damned
up the stream for some hours and left it dry
for mile or two below. After a time the
impeded water broke through the embank-
ment with mighty roar. carrying the red
solution with it and coloring the river for
several miles as first spoken of.

Free wool.

Enormous quantities of wool from foreign
countries are arriving at Boston and other
Eastern ports, says the 0regonian. 1t is
stored 10 bond. under expectation that 1t
will soon be released by the placing of wool
on the free list. Some people are still in .
oredulous when told that Importation of our
supplies of wool from foreign countries. free
of duty, will mrke prices for domestic
fseces higher. Tney can't see why. If the
manufacturer can get foreign wool, say for
s cents, he should pay more for the like
quality of domestic wool. and are inclined
to discredit the argument by which the free
rade politician undertakes to prove that it
will be 30.

The case of the United States against
julius 4. Miner, of Minneapolis, is now be-
ing heard in the land office at Roseburg.
Mr.. Miner owns nearly 10000 acres of tim
her land 10 the Rogue river region. Tie
government alleges that of his possessions
IS claims (about 5000 acres) were acquired
in violation of the law which is designed to
prevent one man from securing land from
the government through others filing upon
it. as agents in tact for him under the tim
ber land act. Mr.. Miner is said to be pre-
pairing to cut this timber and open a large
numbering business on Rogue river IN the
event of this suit terminating in his favor
The case will take much time at Roseburg,
as numerous witnesses are to be examined,
and all testimony is taken down by type
writer. Ex-Judge Webster is at Roseburg
as counsel for Miner.

Des,1tution Causes Insanity.

A sad case OF insanity was brought to the
notice of Judge Blakeley this morning, in
the person of Mrs. Clara Neely, who was
brought from Hood River last night in a
demented condition. She lived about ten
miles from Hood RiYer. alone in the mount.
aims, and her husband has been away for
some time looking for work. For several
weeks she and her three children have lived
on bread and tea, and tor want of susie
nance they have become reduced to skele-
tons. Not having sufficient nourlshment,
and brooding over her lonely condition she
has become insane. The people of Hood
River were not aware of her condition until
the symptoms of hoDicIdlal insanity were
manifested, when everything possible was
done for her relief. Her examination this
morning elected the facts that she was 80
years old, native of Wisconsin,, and has
three children, the youngest OF whom Is
only three months old. The poor woman
will be taken to Salem, where, it is ex-
pected, under proper medical treatment and
with sufficient food, she will be restored to
health Of body and soundness CT mind. 1t
is a peculiar sad case. and one that will
elicit the sympathy of all.
