VERY SHORT CROPS.
Grain, Fruit, Hop and Everything is
Short

h@SR@f AfAa ENNAytiiAAk -
Short.
Oregon will probably come nearer
TO failure OF crop this year than
ever before in It's history. Farmers
everywhere arc discouraged, and the
outlook is very blue. There will not
be half a crop of fruit or hops, and
very low prices for the latter. Veg
etables of all kinds will be light. and
late potatoes and tubers of all kinds
have Il poor show. 1t now looks as
though the potato crop would be very
light, as there is but little prospect Of
rain. Showers would bring help for
, tubers, but II is too late for grain, un-
less 1t were to make feed. Potatoes
however, can be saved by dilligent
cultivation, and the farmer who has "A
crop'of late potatoes in the ground,
can well afford to cultivate them, for
they may bring him some good money.
Ex-County Judge Il. L. Davidson,
who is practical farmer, estima tes
early sown grain and winter oats at a
two-thlrds crop, but thinks spring
grain cannot possibly produce over
half a crop.
A correspondent Of the Eugene
Guard says: con account OF the con-
tinued lack of rain all crops are
short. Late sown grain will be
failure and gardens the poorest Lane
county has seen for years"
Reports from Sherman county are
to the effect that wheat is suffering
from the continued hot weather, and
farmers do not expect the average
yield of the county will be more than
12t bushels to the acre. A month
ago they. expected the average yield
would be 25 bushels.
The Scio Press says as nearly as
we can learn, not more than one-ffth
OF the usual hop acreage of this local
ity has been cultivated. Many people
who hitherto have laid in their stock
of groceries by means of picking hops,
will this fall have to look to other
avenues to supply the family larder.
The Ashland Tldings reports the
blackberry crop will soon be on in
that section. 1t is the exception in
the fruit and berry line this year and
there will be huge crop Of the black.
berries from every indication now.
The raspberry crop is fair but the
acreage is less extensive hereabouts.
A correspondent in the West Side
from Buena Vista says: The farmers
near here say If they don't haye some
rain there are poor prospects for grain,
garden and other crops.
Another correspondent from the
same paper, from Oak Point says,
There will be a good crop Of hay and
fall grain but the late spring grain
will hardly pay for harvesting.
G., B. Wade, cashier Of the First
National bank of Pendleton, says,
after personal inspection of 10 wheat
fields in Umatllla county, and upon
careful inquiry, that the damage to
the wheat crop In Umatilla county,
done by hot weather, has been on the
average, 80 per cent.
Wheat harvesting will commence
in Sherman county about August 3.

cation in the October and Novem Der

fact that the Unity company, Of Chi

rents shall be paid in gold coin. The
Unity company is a corporation or
ganized by Gov. Altgeld a few years
ago, for the purpose OF building q
large office building. The Spting-
field Register details the transaction
and circumstances fully. In order
to complete the building. it became
necessary to issue bonds and sell
them. After the bonds were issued
and placed upon the market, it be.
came necessary to either make Ger
tain conce 'sions or else let the build

money already expended. One Of
these concessions was in regard to
insurance. another in regard to the
manner Of heating, another in regard
to elevator service, and still another
in every lease there should be a pro-
vision that the rents hould be paid In
gold. Each and all of these conces-
sons had to be acceeded to. for the
