WEEKLY CROP REPORT.
Seattle, Wash, Aug. 25, 189

L H6 Iell pei dluIS was HOO IISn Nv
the beginning of the week, but on
the Dist began a warm spell of
three days, which brought the ay-
erage temperature above the nor
NAL. During this warm spell the
maximum temperature ranged from
80 to 90 in western Washington,
and from 90 to 95 in the eastern
section. No rainfall occurred dur
ing the week and the drouth is be-
ginning to be seriously felt.
Reports of the harvesting and
threshing state the weather to have
been generally favorable in the
eastern section, but interfered with
by fog and dew in the western to a
slight extent The potato outlook
is more favorable than it was few
weeks ago.
Oats are reported to have been
badly lodged in the Skagit coun-
try, and there will be some loss
resulting.
EASTERN SECTION.
The week has been generally
warm and dry, and favorable for
farm work. The season is now
quite far advanced, harvesting is
nearly over, and threshing is pro-
crossing finely. The following ex-
tracts will show the conditions in
the various localities:
Ritzville - Drouth continues;
heading of grain nearly finished;
threshing will be general this week;
so far threshers report winter wheat
as fair yield; potatoes improving.

along, wheat yield fair to good
early apples and plums ripe. Pa
louse-Week faultless for cutting
and threshing, which are going on
in every direction with a terrific
rush; such work is at least month
ahead of any season since 1890;
yields vary, too earl Y to estimate

FELL FORTY FEET TO DEATH
The first sad event in the his
tory of the Blackfoot quartz mining
camp occurred in the shaft of the
Early Bird claim, between 8 and 3
o'clock on the morning of Monday,
the 18th instant, when Pirl Wilton,
after having saved the life of his
brother Lawrence, fell to his death.
At the bottom of the 50 foot shaft
he was picked up mangled and
dead.
For several days previous to the
fatal morning the " ilton boys and
Clarence Eddy, who had been
working the mine, had become
aware Of the presence of oppressive
fumes but did not realize their
direct cause or deadly nature.
Clarence Eddy always worked in
the shaft and had on several occas-
ions been nearly overcome with the
gases. The Wilton boys attributed
the difficulty more to fear than gas
however.
Upon entering the shaft on the
fatal morning, by the usual method
Of placing one foot in the Topped
end of rope and clutchlng itabove
with the hands, Eddy noticed that
the shaft was filled with a blue
vapor, but supposed it was only the
remnant of smoke occasioned by
burning fir boughs the day previ-
Gus to drive out the powder fumes
after blasting. Hardly had he
reached the bottom however, when
the gas began to effect him and he
called for a sack with which he
hoped to start a current of air.
While violently waving the sack he
felt his breath leaving him and
called for the boys to draw him up.
dead he was brought to the
surface.
Not to be bluffed that easily
Lawrence Wilton at once concluded
to 90 down, and down he went. He
soon succombed and called for the
rope to draw him up. Before the
rope could reach him he ceased to
speak, and was unable to help him
self. AS quickly as possible the
rope was drawn up and the brother,
Pirl, was let down to rescue the
man. With difficulty
the rope was fastened around the
limp body, and Eddy succeeded in
drawing it up. How he landed the
body and held the windlass no one
will ever no. The rope was again
lowered but it was too late. Pirl
had saved his brother but his
strength could not last long enough
to save himself He caught the
rope and Eddy would up about
twenty feet and then twenty more,
to know his condition. An
came each time, growing
weaker. When within ten feet of
safety Pirls strength gave way and
he fell to death below. A few
groans and all was over with him.
Lawrence was still unconscious.
Eddy rushed to the Blue Bird,
quarter Of a mile distant, for help,
where he found three men who
back with him. Law
renee had partly regained conscious
ness.
