WAREHOUSE COLLAPSED.

With a noise like that of many
guns the Frank Bros warehouse
sank to earth under a great pressure
OF grain. This house was leased to
H. A. Thatcher, who was doing a
good business, and the unfortunate
smashup comes right at the best
part of the season. Mr. Batdorf
had just finished unloading, and
four or five men were at work in
the house, all of whom escaped in
jury with the exception of Mr..
Thatcher, who got one foot squeezed
and limps little in consequence.
Some buggies and implements in
store were badly smashed The
loss on grain will be small, but the
building is wreck,-Genesee

Thursday morning as J. f.
Browns children were playing in
their yard with a fire, which was in
an old stove, the little 4-year old
girls dress caught. Mr.. Hopkins
happened to be passing and noticed
the child's frantic actions. He
rushed up to the child, tearing off
his coat as he ran, with the inten-
ton of smothering the flames with
the garment, but the child was so
badly frightened that she ran away
from him. lie chased her into the
house and four times around the
table before he caught her. He
then quickly wrapped his coat
around her, thereby smothering
the flames which by that time had
burned the child frightfuIly Her
arm is SO badly burned that it will
probably have to be taken off, and
her right ear is completely gone.
The doctor wass called, and from
his latest reports it is learned that
the case is very serious.-Kendrick

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.

have characterized the closing
week of the crop season. The nights
have been cool, and fogs have pre-
vailed during the forenoons in the
coast section; the afternoons have
generally been sunny and pleas
ant. There were light frosts on the
oath. 25th and Goth, in localities,
which nipped the late vegetables.
The weather was entirely favorable
for farming operations. The great,
err part of threshing has been COM
pleted. Potato digging remains to
be done. But little fall blowing
and seeding has been accomplished
vet; the soil will not be in good
condition for it until after a soak
ing rain. The past season can not
be considered a generally favorable
one. The anticipations of abundant
haryests, early in the season, have
not, as a rule, been realized. Still
the results are not discouraging
The yield of staples is fair, although
not up to the average. An abund
ant hay crop has been secured. The
partial failure of crops has been
due to the unprecedented dry spell
in July and August.
EASTERN SECTION.
North Yakima-The spring was
backward and farmers d scouraged,
but summer came early and crops
came on rapidly, All hay lard

crops of alfalfa in Sunnyside coun-

potatoes, were best ever produced
here. Potatoes about half crop.
Fruit all kinds, large yield, and

not picked on account Of low prlce.
One of the best seasons Yakima

Oats and barley below average.
Corn good. Potatoes poor on the
average. Easton-A favorable sea
son for crops Of all kinds. Hay
crop an average; potatoes the same.
A fine week for digging potatoes.

Yield Of grain varies greatly, both
in quality and quantity. Palouse
Past week faultless for threshing

AMONG FARMERS.

The rains of the past week have
greatly delayed the handling OF grain
IN this county, and Il great deal Of
hauling in is yet to be done.
\ dog is owned by John Kirwan, of
Meme, which possesses wonderful
if not a depraved appetite. He tackles
snakes with great avidity and disposes
of them with the ease and alacrlty Of
the secretary bird of southern chimes.
The weekly weather report says
that the recent rains have been es-
pecially beneficial to corn, buckwheat
and new seeding. Corn IS putting
ont ears, and the abundance of
moisture practically insures d good
crop. Potatoes are doing well general
/ ~. but in some sections complaint Is
! made that the earlier varieties are
ro.ting in the hill. Oats are not nearly
so good as they promised to be early
in the season. They are badly rusted
and have been damaged by grasshop
pers and worms. Pastures are great
" improved in the middle section OF
the state, and some threshing is al
ready being done.
