last report from Lakeside, 0kanoran

badly fired and will not be more than
half crop. 1t has been the hottest and
dryest week ever known since settlement
here"
In Walla Walla county the recent rains
have been OF great benefit for spring
sown grain is badly damaged. From
Klickitat county the reports are very
favorable. Fall sown grain is getting
ripe. The heavy showers on the fourth

The rain has done wonders and farm
ers are jubilant. Peaches are the larg-
est crop for years. Potatoes will be a
full crop and the prospect for full crop
OF all cereals is assured. Corn is show

the hot weather near the river.
