Yaquina Bay Jetty,

Mr.. D: Kern, of Elk City, the con-
tractor, has just completed the contract
to finish up the jetty work at the mouth
OF Yaquina Bay. under the present plan.
Fourteen thousand tons of stone were
taken to the jetty within two months,
the rock averaging three tons and
half each. The rock is OF excellent
quality for the purpose and is practi-
cally inexhaustible. The tug Ionquin
took down fifty scow loads of rock
without any accidents or delays, show
ing the ease and practicabilitIy of get
ting stone from this section where it
can be had III great abundance. These
quarries are of great advantage to the
county. as it distributes many thousand
dollars among the people annually.

ckop.wEArHEK REPORT.
In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending
August 12, 1898.

1
WEATHER-Thet temperature rose to
40 degrees on Monday, August S.
Since then it has fallen, but rose again
saturday and Sunday. The maximum
| temperature during The week ranged
from "a to 100 degrees. and the mini
| mum from a to y degrees. There
was an entire absence of rainfall ex-
cept on Tuesday, the 9Th, when few
drops of rain fell in the northeastern
counties. The atmosphere has been
hazy, with increasing smoke, due to
the forest fires in the western portion
of the state.
CRoPs-Harvesting of the cereal
tion in all sections. Threshing has
The wheat, when threshed, is turning
out about as expected, that is, fall
sown wheat has good average yield.
while volunteer and spring grain
yields from to 10 bushels per acre.
The general crop for export will not
be as large as last year. The greatest
falling off in local yield appears to be
in Morrow, Gillian and Wasco coun-
ties.
Grasshoppers continue to prevail in
large numbers in Union and contigu-
ous counties. They have done consid-
erable damage. and are yet destroying
the green vegetation.
The fruit is in good condition and is
ripening rapidly. Many new sections
have developed where fruit can be sue
cessfully and profitably grown. Mel
ons are especially prolific in Wasco
county: in this county the apple and
peach crop will be unusually large.
Peaches are large crop, where grown.
in Gillian county. and reports from
the Snake river fruit district indicate
an unusually full crop of peaches and
apples.
The dry weather has caused the
range grass to dry up and milch COWS
have to be fed. The stock on the
ranges has been in the mountains for
the past two months where it will
continue to remain until the fall rains
start the grass on the usual range. |
The food in the mountains is good and |
stock is reported to be in good condi-
tion.
August is usually very dry; seldom
does any rain fall during the month. |
The conditions at present do not indi-
cate other than usual weather for the
next few weeks, which is warm, dry
and smoky. The fore part of Septem-
Der usually some rain falls, which Is
sufficient to lay the dust and clear the
atmosphere.

ALMOST FINISHED.
The Government Work at the Locks Near
ing COMPLETION.

Ing Completion.
In conversation with Mr.. Geo. P.
Morgan yesterday we received a COM
prehensive idea of the progress of the
government work at the Cascade
Locks. The walls and masonry work
is completed up to and above the bulk
head. Three of the gates are in posi-
tion, and one section of the last or
canal gate is completed and the other
half Is now being riveted. For several
weeks from 400 to 500 men have been
at work on the mammoth bulkhead
which was first erected in 1880 to pro-
tect the canal from the food and has
been strengthened during every
freshet since, especially last year DUR
ing the unprecedented high water.
The work of removing this is truly q
herculean ask, for there are boulders
as large as small house to be dis.
placed and countless tons Of soil.
AS soon as this is completed the walls
will be connected above and below and
water will flow through the canal. A
dredger Is on the ground to remove
sand bars that may have accumulated
at the entrance, and also the rubbish
below the bulkhead. Only 20 stone
cutters are now employed, nearly all
the stone having been finished. There
cannot be the least doubt that the
canal and locks will allow the passage
of boats on or before the lst of Janu-
ary, 1895, and an open river to the sea
will be realized by the citizens OF this
vicinity,

Found Dead in Bed.
The Salem Journal of yesterday has

The Salem Journal of yesterday has
the following:
Mr.. Page Miles, at Inger station.
Howell Prairie, died last night in bed.
He retired at the usual hour as well as
any man, but this morning when his
little boy got up he did not move. His
wife went to wake him but he was
dead. One hand lay across his breast
and the other arm was out on the
covers. He had died a painless death
and apparently without struggle.
When neighbor, w. T. Ramsutn,
who joins farms, went there at A. NJ.
the bedclothes had not been disturbed.
He lay in apparently quiet and peace
full slumber. but dead. His wife, and
one son. aged nine years, were alone
in the house. John Kays, neighbor.

The Craze Spreading.

The MalheurF Gazette says: The
Blue Bucket mine mania has
reached Spokane. They sent out an
expedition to find the lost diggings.
B. F. Connor and Jas. Mustard have
been here. searched and returned
empty. However, they have struck
new lead; they found an old gentleman
and lady who were with the famous
emigrant train and helped fill the blue
bucket with nuggets. They all climbed
Castle Rock, over at the agency, and
viewed the surrounding country.
Both the old emigrants concluded that
they knew exactly where they picked
up the pieces of gold. The old lady
SAID it was on top Of STEMS mountain
and the old gentleman was equally as
positive that it was right where the
town OF Vale now stands-only 200
miles difference in their opinions.

Vacation Tina

Is at hand and is gladly welcomed by
all, especially those whose duties in
life have caused them to greatly run
down their system to meet the require.
ments, physical and mental, forced
upon them. With these and others, it
is important, whether at home, at the
seashore, or in the country, that some
thought be given to diet, and as
further assistance to nature, a good
building-up medicine like Hoods Sar-
saparilla had best be resorted to. If
the digestion is poor, liver deranged
and frequent headaches seem to be the
rule. Hoods will change all this and
enable everyone TO return to their
home and business in refreshed state
OF mind and podily health.

wyoming Avenue.
Scranton lovers of the artistic can
find no better opportunity for satisfy
Ing their fancy than now at the new
store of Weichel & Miller, which was
opened yesterday at No 134 Wyoming
avenue. Until the firm displayed their
elaborate stock of rare costly and ex-
quisite ware 1t had not seemed possible
that Scranton patronage warranted
such a display of extreme good taste
and money.
The store is one of the largest in the
city and has been newly fitted with
ebony and cherry cabinets, tables and
shelvlngs loaded down with handsome
china, cut glass and ware novelties,
heretofore confined exclusively to such
large cities as New York and Phila-
delphia. But now Scranton possesses
china store in every way equal to
those of any of the large cities of
the United States.

cate and exquisite articles in stock
would necessitate considerable time
