Crnns and Weather.


In the Columbia river valley the tenn
perature ranged, during the heal of the
day, from 92 to 106 degrees. Tempera-
ture above 90 occurred every day through
out this portion of the state. The night
temperatures were about 70 degrees in
the valley and about go degrees TO the
south. There has been no rainfall DUR
ing the week. The wirds have been
light, but had tendency to move from
the north and east. Smoky weather has
prevailed, due to the forest fires over
Western Washington. The mean tenn
perature for the week was 81 degrees in
the valley and IA degrees TO the south.
The warm weather has been injurious
TO the grain crops. The hay harvest Is
about over and the early wheat harvest
has commenced in some sections. The
hot, dry weather has reduced expected
yields OF 40 bushels per acre to % and 30
bushels per acre. This damage 10 gener-

have been so unfavorable that many
fields will be cut for hay. The berry is
shriveled and will not grade as No. !
wheat.
In the Grande Ronde valley better
conditions prevail, as also in Powder
river valley. In the great country OF
Central Oregon the conditions are not 80
good. A good hay crop was secured.
Tho stock has been taken to the moun-
tain ranges, and there 1t is not extra
good.
The fruit prospects continue to be fair.
As rule the fruit is less injured than in
Western Oregon, The Snake river
country and the Hood river country will
have very fair iruit yields.
There are no prospects for cooler
weather and rain. Thunder storms are
probable, but general rain will not occur
for some weeks yet.

AT THE THEATERS

ORPHEUM-Every seat was occu-
pied at the Orpheum last night, and a
rattling good vaudeville performance
was served up for the delectation of the
auditors. There We're three new and
sensational features to add to the inter-
est of the bill, in addition to the best
people in the bill last week. Basco and
Roberts gave a very clever sketch. in
which they demonstrated possibilities
in the matter of comforting the human
face that We're bewildering and humor-

that fairly took hold on the hearts of
her hearers who demanded two encores.
one of the big features was the superb
feats of the kins-ners, who are unqus-
tionably the best eluilibrists who have
been seen here this season. Charley
Ward again demonstrated his popular
ity in Los Angeles by the warm recep-
ton his catchy songs received. while
the Andersons, Willis and Collins, AL
burtus and Bartram and Frank La Mon
due were all accorded hearty welcomes.
The show this week at this house will
draw big houses on its merits.

ance wherewith to fasten a double rivet-
ed cinch on this city and vicinity and at
the same time obtain the financial aid
needed to construct free harbor, is
for the people of all kinds and classes
to unite in solemn and thunderous pro-
test against spending a single dollar on
the Huntington scheme and to keep
up an equally united and ceaseless petit
ton through all available and proper
means for the carrying out Of their
wishes at San Pedro. No considera-
ton of personal friendship or hatred,
no division or dissension about other
subjects should be permitted to inter-
fere with popular unison on this single
subject of a free harbor for Los An
geles. The attempt to prejudice the
San Pedro cause because the editor of
a morning paper who is not personally
popular, and who has been on the un-
popular side of many issues. vigorously
espouses It, is simply puerile and
beneath the serious consideration
of people with a toy teaspoonful Of
brains. Such reasoning(?) betrays a
distressing famine of argument. There
are occasions when men must rise su-
perior to small hates and petty jeal-
ousies. This is one of them. Friend
and foe have a common interest in
the outcome Of the harbor controversy.
and they should combine in behalf of
that interest. To that end the most
strenuous efforts should be put forth to
make the mass meeting called by the
Free Harbor League for Wednesday
night an imposing success Every in
dividual and organization interested in
the advancement Of Los Angeles and
the territory Of which Los Angeles is
rightfully the industrial and CONNER
cial capital should lend the time and
the effort needed to make that gather

It is "San Pedro or nothing" because
the government will not construct two
deep sea harbors on the Los Angeles
coast. Even Mr.. Huntington's pro-
posal that the people are clamorously
solicited to accept as a denier resort,
as telegraphed through the kindness of
Congressman McLachlan, does not pro-
vide for two deep sea harbors. On the
contrary, it distinctly calls for the con-
struction Of one deep sea harbor at
Santa Monica and an inner harbor at
San Pedro, which, as The Herald has
before pointed out, will be of practically
little consequence to commerce without
an outer or deep sea harbor. A harbor
constructed at Santa Monica will not
be peoples free harbor, but a South
ern Pacific monopolized harbor All the
approachable land fronting on the area
upon which 1t is proposed to construct
the Santa Monica deep sea harbor is
with the exception of a narrow strip
between one-quarter and one-half of a
mile long, owned or controlled by the
Southern Pacific company, although it
may not all be in the name of that COM
pany. The insignificant strip referred
to would only be accessible to compet-
ing roads after expensive tunneling,
and as matter of fact it is really in
adequate for the accommodation of a
single additional line. The Herald will
tomorrow publish a map of the water
front of Santa Monica which will make
clear at a glance the actual situation at
that point and develop the falsity
Of the allegation that a deep sea
harbor there would be economical
and easily accessible to competing
transportation systems. So as far
as the people are concerned it is San
Pedro or nothing. The government of
the United States certainly will not
build two harbors of the deep sea kind,
one for the people and one for Mr..
Huntington & Co. And without free
harbor open to the use of any and all
railroad lines tapnipth gss iteionckkk
terms of equality, Los Angeles and the
territory tributary to Los Angeles car
never attain the industrial development
and the commercial greatness that the
future proffers.

The refusal of the city council Of Los
Angeles to take up yesterday for an hon.
est investigation the harlotry COM
bine conducted under the auspices of
the police commission was probably
owing to the absorption of that body in
an effort to discern how it could serve
that other odious monopoly, the South
ern Pacific, in behalf of its Santa Mon
lea scheme, and at the same time es-
cape the odium that such treason richly
deserves and invariably receives. The
council has demonstrated that it can
do the bidding of a railroad monopoly
as shamelessly as it can ignore the ex-
istence of prostitution combine under
the pretense of enforcing laws. The
Herald has not finished with the coun-
Gil in the matter of the Alameda street
fraud, as the members of that body and
the public will shortly find out.
