1t is again stated that Portland
is to have another morning paper
in opposition to the Oregonian. 1t
is said that the Evening Tribune OF
that place will come out as a morn
ing paper about the 18th inst. The
rumor seems to have been started
by the San Francisco Examiner,
which leads many to believe that
that paper has an interest in the
affair.

Laura A. Harris, of Eugene, has
brought suit against the board of
judges at the late school election on
account of the refusal to allow
women to vote. This case will be
carried to the supreme court in or
der to get decision as to the con-
stitutionality of that section of the
law, which says that women who
pay taxes may vote at a school
meeting. 1t is a point that has
caused a great deal of friction in
many places in the state, and es-
pecially in Eugene, and all are
anxious for the supreme court to
give Interpretation of the law.

are becoming more and more fire.
quent. The situation in Oregon
out of which Mr.. Corbett's ap-
pointment grows was one of anarchy
and scandalous altogether. A
state whose senatorial election ma
chinery has so far broken down
through the miserable little squab-
bles of persons and factions that i,
cannot reach a conclusion in the
manner clearly provided by the
constitution is a state which has
earned an empty seat in the United
States senate and should be given

Good times are coming to the
stock industry of Oregon. For the
next five years there is going to be
good profits in cattle, sheep and
goats This is not a result of con-
fidence or tariff, but one of the
natural laws; simply a case where
the supply does not equal the de-
mand. The hard times of the past
few years have played havoc with
the stock interests. 1t has almost
devastated the ranges of stock cattle.
Everything was sold off that would
bring dollar in money until the
ranges and farms were cleaned bare
of stock cattle. 1t will take at
least five years to restock the
ranges. While that process is 60
ing on stock is bound to bring a
good price.

Crop and Weather Bulletin.

had mild temperatures and ABOUT
normal precipitation. November
and March were the coldest on
record. The latter part of Novem-
Der had phenomenal freeze, which
did some damage to fruit-trees; the
freeze came before the sap had re-
treated to the roots, hence the dam
age. March was cold, cloudy and
rainy, with snow in the mountains.
West of the Cascades and in the
Columbia river valley the mean
temperature in March averages from
38 to AZ degrees; over the Plateau
Region it ranged from 2S to IS
degrees. These temperatures are
from 3 to 7 degrees below the March
normal. The precipitation for
March was, rain west of the Cas-
cades, and rain or snow to the east
of them; the total was from to g
inches, being greatest, as usual,
along the coast. The snowfall was
heavier than usual especially in the
mountains. There was not suffi-
cient sunshine and heat to cause
vegetation to grow during March.
The season is very late. On this
day, April S, there is no fruit in
bloom, except in a few especially
favored locations; in no section is
there any general bloom. The
dates of general blooming over the
state, except ofcourse in the Plateau
Region, have been as follows: 1889,
March 22; 1890, April 2; 1891,
March 28; 1892, April 2; 1893,
April I9; 1894, March 20; 1895,
March rs; 1896, March 20; 1897,
no bloom on April S. Late devel-
opment of fruit buds is favorable to
good fruit yields.
WESTERN OREGON.
Weather-Showery weather, with
temperatures below the average,
prevailed during the past week.
The mean temperature was "A de-
grees, and the rainfall varied from
three-quarters of an inch to one inch
and quarter. Frost occurred on
March 80 and April 2. Sunshine
prevailed to some extent ON several
days.
Crops.-The weather was un-
favorable to growth of vegetation
and unfavorable to farm work. The
fall sown grain is in fairly good con-
dition. The winter season was not
favorable to blowing, and the result
is there is not the acreage of grain
sown that is usual at this season of
the year. Considerable seeding was
done in February. Some cores
pondents report that oats was frozen
out by the November freeze; this
condition is not general. The tenn
perature the latter part of November
was not below I6 degrees above
zero, and it lasted but short time,
so that general freezing out is i'm
possible. Owing to the unfavorable
conditions during the past five
months, the spring -sown grain will
have a greater acreage than usual.
Grain can safely be sown in Oregon
up to the middle of May, and fair
crops, IS bushels per acre of wheat,
and more, have been gathered from
grain sown as late as June I. Late
sowing is, however, hazardous
Fruit.-The fruit crop was, in a
comparative sense, a failure last
year. The trees had a phenomenal
growth; new wood from s to IS
feet long has been frequently re.
ported. The cool weather of March
has delayed budding, and the result
is all correspondents report pros,
poets for big fruit crop never
more promising" Many acres O

The Interstate Commerce Commission

Chicago. March 3o.-All the eastern
railroads which enter Chicago, except
the Chicago and Grand Trunk. have

commerce commission to forward TO
their office at Washington on or before
April 10th all bills of lading and other
evidence of shipment OF grain and
grain products and packing-house

make a searching inquiry into the CIV
ing of reduced rates. The omission
of the Grand Trunk from the list was
agreed to be a mistake, although the
first impression gave rise to general
charges that this road had been fore
most in rate cutting. Chicago officials
say the evidence desired will be pre-
pared as soon as possible. and they
are afraid to be caught furnishing
false statement to the commission.
An importnt meeting of presidents,
general officers and traffic men con-

held in the Rookery tomorrow. 1t is
understood that the plan to be carried
out in view Of the supreme courts re-

WilmingtOn's Three Mayors.

The Baltimore Sun Of yesterday says:
Wilmington, N. c., has three mayors
just now, and three boards Of alder
men; and still it is not happy! The sit
uation is too earnest a reminder that
the city is under the thumb Of the rep
pop. combination which now holds the
Old North State in the hollow OF it's
hand, to impart anything Of happiness
to those most concerned. 1t is due,
among other things, to a protest n a
fighting to the last ditch on the part
Of the really representative people Of
the city against an oligarchy estab-
lished by the recent legislature, which
was itself an outrage on the Tar Heel
commonwealth, and which placed In
the hands Of the governor for partisan
purposes only, the right to appoint the
government Of the largest city in the
