CRoP-wEATHER REPORT.
In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending
June 10, 1895.


WEATHER-Ligh scattered showers
occurred on the 9th, 7th ana 9Th, not
sufficient in most localities to lay the
dust. The maximum temperature
ranged from 54 to "a degrees; the min
imum, from "A to 5S degrees, except
south of the Blue mountains, where it
was SO to 40 degrees on four nights of
the week. The weather has been
cloudy to partly cloudy, with variable
winds. Frosts occurred in sections on
the 9th, but no damage was done.
CRoPs-The weather has not been
favorable, except on Sunday and Mon
day, to rapid growth, but favorable to
more healthy stand and to roofing.
Owing to the large acreage of volun-
teer and spring grain in Wasco, Sher-
man, Gillian and Morrow counties, the
wheat prospects are not encouraging.
The correspondent at Clem, Gillian
county, reports "grain is looking
badly; some of it is burning" From
Morrow county comes this report: SIN
q large part of Morrow county and q
part of Gillian county, the crops are
almost failure; in some parts there
will be no harvest. Fall-sown wheat
is heading out about one foot high,
and spring grain, it is safe to predict,
will not shade the ground: fully so per
cent. of the grain in this section is
spring grain" Similar reports come
from Wasco, Sherman and Gillian
counties, though the most discourag-
ing from Morrow county. In Umatilla
and Union counties fall-sown wheat is
in fine condition, but spring grain is
poor and will not yield over one-half a
crop. Heavy and general rains, with
an absence of hot weather will materi-
ally benefit current conditions.
The Hood River correspondent re-
ports two carloads of strawberries are
now leaving there daily for the east.
The strawberry crop in the lower part
of the valley is about harvested.
Cherries are now ripe. The crop is
full one, especially Of Royal AIMS and
throughout is in excellent condition
and promises large returns.
Haying is in progress and average
yields are being secured.
In the counties of Crook, klamath,
Lake, Harney and Grant the season is
very backward. These counties have
an elevation of about 5000 feet, and
they have had frost and ice during the
past week, injuring vegetation. Sheep
shearing continues, and heavy feeces
are secured. The range grass is good,
and stock presents prime condition.
Grassphoppers are present in large
numbers, and are doing damage in
Morrow and Gillian counties. They
moved northward from Harney county.
The general cereal crop conditions
are not of the most encouraging char
acter throughout Eastern Oregon.
Rain will help things wonderfully.
There are no Indications, at the pres
ent writing, for rain within the next
few days. B. S. PAGUE, Director.

LUCK AT RAFFLEs.
The Freaks of Fortune In the Dice Boz
and Raffles Are Not Always Accord

ing to Our Necessities or Needs.
The strange freaks of fortune that
happen to those who take risks at
games of chance range into the realm
of mystery, and cannot be explained
by any rules of science, or philosophl-
cal deductions from cause and effect.
In conversation with q man this morn
ing, upon whose third finger on his
left hand glittered diamond in a ring
that would be valued from 5000 to S7OO,
we learned some of the freaks of the
tickle goddess. 81 never won any
thing in my life that I had any partic-
ular use for,' he said, "and am
usually very lucky. That diamond
ring cost me about $12, and when L
threw the lucky number / had no more
use for it than for the fifth wheel OF
coach. Had arrived from the mines,
and was spending the winter In
Frisco. OF course had sackful of
dust that 1 intended to squander, and
going into saloon one day saw the
ring on rattle, and took two chances.
threw the lucky number; but my fin
gers were rough and large from hand
ling pick and shovel, and could not
wear it. The employment l have fol-
lowed the last few years has reduced
the size, and now it fits my third fin
ger. NJ next experience was throw
ing dice for lady's elegant dressing
case. 1 won it, and made it a present
to my sister, who values it highly.
Luck again favored me in rattle for q
cub grizzly bear, and Il procured
chain and took him to the house where
1 was lodging. A loose link in the
chain allowed the grizzly to break out
during the night, and the whole
neighborhood were up in arms the
next morning. The sequel was that l
sold the bear to travelling troupe OF
showmen for So, and it cost me Sl5.
My last venture was in bicycle. The
tickets cost me something over SO, and
I sold the wheel before it was .deliv-
cred to me for S75. This made up
some of my losses on former raffies;
but am determined not to risk the
dice or the uncertainty of drawing the
winning number except for something
of which I am in absolute need.
have no more use for diamond rings,
dressing cases or grizzly bears, and
am determined to reform as regards
these gambling devices" He walked
away with woe-begone look on his
countenance, and his experience proves
that fortune does not always favor
those who are in need, or even smile
on the poor or unfortunate.

Adjudged Insane.

A man by the name of F. c. c. Fox
was brought from Viento today, and
examined for insanity. He is native
of Iowa, is 43 years of age, and has q
wife and family living near Viento,
Fox is an old soldier, and has an hon.
orable discharge from the army.
His insanity appears to be homi.
idial in its tendency, and he
has threatened the lives of his wife
and of the neighbors in the vicinity Of
his house. In the examination he
gave intelligent, pertinent and logical
answers to all questions, and his in
sanity is somewhat obscure. The
family has been afflicted in the same
manner, and he has a sister in the
asylum. He was taken to Salem this
afternoon on the train which leaves
the city at 2:15.

FOR ROMANS MURDERER
A Reward of $1,000 offered by the State
of Idaho.

The state of Idaho has offered re-
ward of $1,000 for the arrest and con.
viction of the person or persons who,
on the night of May 13 last, murdered
Thomas Roman on his ranch about
eleven miles below Caldwell. The
offer of a reward was signed Tuesday
by Governor Mcconnell and duly
countersigned by Secretary of State
Curtis. 1t is tempting bait, and will
no doubt greatly stimulate the efforts
of men who are accustomed to running
down criminals.
Thomas Roman was prosperous
farmer who lived quietly with his fam
lily on his ranch few miles below
Caldwell. On the 18th of May tramp
stopped at the Roman place and asked
for somesAing to eat. Roman ordered
him off the place. The tramp went
away and the incident was soon for
gotten. That night Roman was awak-
ened by sound as though an animal
had become entangled in the, barbed
wire fence. He arose and went out
side. The next morning his dead
body was found near the house. In
his head was frightful cash, and near
the CHASTITY corpse was found an ak,
which told the manner of the poor
mans death. The news of the murder
was flashed far and wide, and in the
immediate neighborhood it created
the greatest excitement. Mrs. Roman
told of the visit of the tramp, and the
conclusion was at once jumped at that
the fellow had returned in the night,
and, scraping on the barbed wire fence
to attract Romans attention, lured his
victim to his awful death. A posse
secured the country far and wide for
the tramp, but no trace Of him could
be found.
After several days had passed the
neighbors began to talk Of the atten-
tions that Romans hired man had paid
to Mrs. Roman, and in short time the
finger of suspicion was pointed in the
direction of the hired man. Upto the
present time no evidence of a tangible
nature has been obtained 80 far as
known.

A SHOOTING AFFRAY.
A Quarrel Results ih One Man Being
Struck in the Face and Another
Shot In the Leg.

Shot In the Leg.
Yesterday afternoon the hitherto
quiet neighborhood of Mosier in this
county was the scene of considerable
excitement caused by an alteration
between residents. So far as the facts
can be learned it appears that dis
pute arose over pile of wood between
Mr.. Powers, the proprietor of the store
in the town, and family by the name
of Fields, each claiming the owner
ship. Mr.. Fields and his two sons
came to the store te take the wood
away on a wagon, and to this Mr.
Powers objected. Hot words followed,
and resulted in blows. During the
alteration one of Mr.. Fields sons
struck Mr.. Powers in the face with q
rock, cutting q severe cash in the
cheek several inches in length. At
this Powers drew q revolver and fred,
the ball striking the father in the leg
as he was running away. These are
the facts as near as we could acquire
them from interested parties; but Mr..
Powers is under arrest, and the testi-
>mony on trial may develope further
and different evidence. AS the mat
ter is in the process of adjudication we
do not desire to publish anything that
would prejudice either the side of the
state or the defense.

The drama of Damon and Pythias
will be placed on the boards. a. the
opera house next Friday evening, by
Mr.. William Rasmus, assisted by mem
bers of the Home Dramatic club. Mr..
Rasmus Is an artist in dramatic
delineation, and under his excellent
drill the members of the club who take
part in the drama are acquiring de-
gree of proficiency which is usually
only accorded to professionals. The
drama is classical, and the principal
parts have been taken by leading ac-
tors-Garrick, Macready, Mccullough
Warde and others. It will be per-
formed in excellent style, as the char
acters have been well assigned, and
every part will be acted almost to per-
fection,

Damon and Pythias.

Several elegant costumes have ar
rived for the characters in the play OF
Damon and Pythias, to be presented
Friday evening at the opera house.
The rehearsals have made every one
well acquainted with their parts, and
the presentation of the play will be in
excellent style. Mr.. Rasmus has
proved himself an excellent drill mas
ter, and has developed all the latent
dramatic powers in those who define
ate the characters. Tickets are selling
very rapidly, and those desiring re-
served seats should secure them with.
out delay. The opera house will no
doubt be crowded, and there is every
indication of the play being the great
est success of the season.

ITEnS IN BRIEF.
From Saturdays Daily.

The river is rising.
Police court very quiet these days.
Mr.. William Helm returned yester-
day from trip through Wasco and
Crook counties.
last evening on the boat from q short
visit TO Hood River.
Father Bronsgeest will hold services
in the Catholic church at Kingsley to-
morrow.
The moonlight excursion last night
attracted large crowd, and the time
was spent very enjoyably. Music was
furnished by the band, and the trip
was very delightful. AT Hood River
the armory hall was occupied, and
dancing was indulged in until the hour
arrived for the return trip.
Menwho are offered $3.50. or SO per
day in Northern Idaho to work in the
mines are not allowed to do 80, and the
mine owners are threatened with de-
struction of their property, if they en-
pioy men at these prices, by the lead
ers of the Miners union. Such des-
potism as this, injurious alike to prop
erty and labor, makes these unions
odious and intolerable in nominally
free country. %
Two gentlemen made business deal
last week at oWalla Walla in which
30, 900 bushels of wheat were con-
tracted for. this fall at 80 cents per
bushel. The one who agrees to pay
that price for wheat when the crop is
harvested says he has no fears of los
ing anything on the deal, and may
make considerable money above
that figure when fall prices for grain
are established. !
The remains of A. r. Dufur, ST., ar
rived in the city last evening, and
were placed in the undertaking parlors
of -Crandall & Burgett. They were
viewed by very many of our citizens,
who entertained the highest regard
for the old gentleman, and there were
a profusion of beautiful floral offerings
from relatives and friends. This morn
ing the body was taken to Portland,
where it will be inferred in Lone Fir
cemetery, where several members of
the family have been buried.

The City Brewery Burned.

The Prineville Reuie,o says: "About
half-past o'clock Thursday afternoon
the fire alarm was sounded. 1t needed
no one to tell where the fire was; for
on looking up Main street the brewery
building, just across Ochoco, was
plainly to be seen a mass of flames.
Never before did our fire department
show up to better advantage. 1t was
the general comment that there never
was fire absolutely squelched quicker
than the one Thursday. Two streams
were put on in less time than it takes
to tell it,saving the cellar with its con-
tents and a portion of the main build
ing. The fire caught from the drying
apparatus, it having been constructed
in defective manner"

his corn field, and destroyed every
blade of the cereal. We are satisfied
that fockmasters do not desire to do
any injury to citizens of Washington
in driving their sheep to the summer
range at the foothills of Mt. Adams;
but it is impossible to control the
herds at all times, and where one leads
the band will follow. Summer range
is very necessary, and where this Is
uncultivated land, in the mountains,
no one should feel aggrieved thereby;
that the fiocks are not allowed to de-
stroy grain or other crops.
