A Hint TO oregOnians.

J. T. Gregg, formerly Of Portland and
salem now located at San Jose, Cal. , has
written a letter TO an Oregon friend
about the prospective scarcity In the
hay crop In California and the condi-
tlon of the weather. "Eyerthlng is as
dry as bone" he says. "Rlght here a
fruit growing section almost exclusive
ly. there is no special complaint OF hard
times. The people have money remain
ing from last years crop, and will have
a fair crop this year. Values are almost
the same and money can be had from
banks and capitalists on good security.
You must understand that this state Of
facts does not apply TO all sections Of
California. In most sections times are
as hard as anywhere In the country.
This Is dry year Hay and grain
win bring great prices, and oregonians
should prepare 10 furnish California
With large quantities OF hay. would

Crops and Weather.

The U. s. department of agriculture
weather bureau has issued the follow
ing crop-weather bulletin of the Oregon
state weather service for the week end
Ing Aug. 9th for Western Oregon:
Weather: The weather was decid.
edly warm during most of the week In
the interior. In the coast counties it
continued cool. The temperature aver
aged three degrees cooler than the nor
NAL in the coast sections, where also
some light showers occurred at the end
Of the week. In the interior no precip-
itation occurred and the temperature
was normal. There was an average Of
sunshine.
Crops: The harvest of fall-sown
grain Ia practically completed in the
Willamette valley and in the southern
counties, but continues in the coast
counties. Some oats have also been
cut. The weather was most favorable
for the harvest and the maturing Of
grain, gave check to the growth of
vegetables, with the exception of the
potato crop which still continues to
look well, giving promise of excellent
yields. Threshing has commenced in
some sections; more has been done In
Lane county than in other sections.
Thresbing will become general about
the latter part of the present week.
Some spring grain has been cut. The
crop of spring grain is generally con-
sidered superior to last years crop,
while the speculation as to the yield
and quality of tall sown grain continues
unabated with much difference of opin-
ion. Some seem to notice that the
grain has shriyeled while others con-
tend that no preceptible damage has
resulted. There is some rust In the
spring grain crop, though not Of seri-
GUS nature. Hops are making good
progress and large crop IL now az
sured. All crops are making
good progress and large
crop is now assured. In Polk county
many hop lice have been observed,
making 1t necessary to spray the yards
the second time. Small fruits are
abundant. All crops are making fair
progress and the product will be large;
but In the language of the Yamhill
county correspondent, farmers are
doing their work with their hearts in
their throat since they do not antici-
pate suitable remuneration. A large
hay crop has been secured, the condl-
tion of which is excellent since the
weather was the best for curing. In
few instances some hay near the coast
was damaged slightly by showers.

A Good Physician.

He is the best physician who takes
advantage of any remedy that offers
the right kind of relief. Some medi-
clnes relieve, but for the moment only
Their ultimate effect is to increase the
suffering.

versal favorlte with good physicians,
and are always recommended by them

Temperature and Brain Work.

The influence of the weather ON the
brain is subject which awaits investi-
CATION and will repay it, Most people
feel the influence of dull days, east
winds and extreme cold on their spirits
and energies, mental or physical An
arctic cold and a tropical heat are un-
favorable to literary composition, for ex-
ample, and we speak Of the cold ''freez-
ing our wits" an expression which
is not altogether figurative, but rests on
a common experience. Goethe found
that his capacity for mental work de-
pended on the height Of the barometer,
and other instances Of meteorological in
fiuence ON the mind could be collected
from the writings of celebrated men.

hocondhand Plate GIas..

One Of the novel business trades Of
Boston is that of a dealer in secondhand
plate glass. Nearly all Of this glass is
bought by the dealer from insurance
companies. The large plates of this kind
Of glass are insured when put in win
dow, and when any Of them is broken
the owner of the injured glass usually
prefers that the insurance company
should replace the broken piece rather
than that he should be paid its price.
The dealer in the secondhand glass con-
trives to utilize what remains of the un-
broken part of the glass. York
