Marshal Blakeney requests us to say
that much complaint is being made
about cows being left in the city limits
with their bells on at night, thus causing
considerable annoyance to good citizens
who desire to put in the night without
any serenading from the cud-chewIng
Inherent dairies. Any well bred cow
should be ashamed to retire for the night
with her jewelry on, especially during
the present financial depression, when
some good citizen, driven by free trade
and the silver craze to the verge of des-
peration, might be tempted to burglarize
the cowyard and walk off with the COW
ornaments. There is an ordinance for
bidding law-abiding cows wearing bells
at night, and unless the owners see to it
the marshal will have to. Out of regard
for our city marshal We hope that this
note of warning may be needed, and
that he may not have to become a COW
soubrette, or chief lady-in-waiting to her
lactated highness. The bells should be
removed and each and every COW should
be provided with a pyjama. or some
other sleep producer.

The county court will meet on the 25th
at which time it is probable some action
will be taken concerning the Currant

ance THAT this road be completed, and
it is hoped that in spite of the laudable
desire to economic, the commissioners
may feel that it is necessity and not a
luxury that is being demanded. The in

that the road be finished, and that at

The Dalles Orchestral Union will give
another excursion to the Cascades next

Returning will leave the Cascades at 4
O'Clock. Tickets for the round trip, 80
cents. The excursion Sunday before
last was the most delightful ever made
from The Dalles, and as the orchestra
will furnish music for the occasion, there
is no reason why the excursion Sunday
should not be fully I'D pleasant.
Quite number of DalIesites left for
Portland this afternoon to attend the
meeting of the republican clubs in that
city tomorrow. They have our paternal
blessing, and we sincerely hope they
may come home alive. The prospect,
however, is not cheerful, as the dele
gates from the far eastern portion of the
state are going down brimful of silver
speeches to meet the host from Portland
that want peace and want it on a gold
basis. It looks to us as though an irre-
sistable force was going to meet an i'm.
movable body and the result cannot
therefore be even guessed at. The fires
may possibly be drawn and the temper.
ature kept down, but we fancy there
will be perceptible change in the wea.
ther, such as will be conducive to ths
ripening of strawberries by tomorrow
night.

wEArHEn BUREAU.
Weather Crop Bulletin No OF the
Oregon State Weather service for
Eastern OreEon.


WEATHER: Clear, warm weather pre-
vailed up to the 18th, when few light
showers occurred amounting to from .01
to 10 of an inch. The maximum tenn
peratures ranged from 48 to 80 degrees
in the Columbia river valley and from
SO to 4s degrees to the south of it.
Warm northerly winds prevailed on the
10Th and 10Th.
CROPS: The warm winds did no
marked damage. further than to dry the
soil still more. The cereal crop is re-
ported to be in fair condition in Wasco
and Sherman counties, generally poor in
Gillian and Morrow counties and fair in
Umatilla and Union COMMITTEES. More
rain in those counties would be of great
benefit and tend to largely increase the
yield. The fruit prospects continues ex.
cellent. Berries of all kinds will be
unusually prolific. Strawberries are ri
pening rapidly and large shipments are
being made from Wasco county. Sheep
shearing continues and heavy, clean
fieeces are secured. The range grass is
fairly good. The drives to the noun
tains will begin shortly. The outlook
for the years crop is about fair average
at this date. The success or failure of
the cereal crops depends upon the rain
fall and temperature during the next
four weeks.

The Telephone situation.

The telephone patent notice which has
appeared in THE Chronicle columns
daily for the past few weeks, probably
has considerable significance when taken
in conjunction with the telegraphic news
item published in the Sunday Oregonlan
of May 18th, to the effect that the
United States court of appeals in the
case OF the o. s. vs.. the Bell Telephone
Company, relative to the Berliner
patent, had reversed the decision of the
lower court and that therefore the Amer
lean Bell Telephone Co., practically re-
tains its monopoly of all forms of battery
telephones.
