Weekly Crop Bulletin.
Seattle, Wash, Sept. %, 1897


1t is a genuine pleasure to record that
the last week of the crop season, just
ended, was one OF fine weather, and fav-
orable for all farming operations now in
seson The temperature has been mod
crate and uniform there was no rain UNI
til the last day of the week, when small
amount fell in the western part OF the
state, No damaging frosts have occurred.
Hop-pickinl isnow finished. Although
the crop would have been better if the
rainy spell during the first of the month
had not occurred, still the yield OF hope
is fair to good, and in some instances ex-
G,llent, both IN quantity and quality.
A large yield OF hops was unexpected,
considering that, owing to former dis
oouragements, many fields had been
plowed up and others were entirely neg
lected
Harvesting is practically completed in
ali parts oil the state, and, on the whole,
very little grain has received any mater
ial damage. Threshing progresses with
favorable wea her, but the supply OF
machines is so inadequate to the size OF
the crop that it will last for some weeks
yet in late sections. The wheat yield
continues to meet the high expectations;
the oat crop in Skagit county, where
threshing is now finished, falls some
what below anticipations; it is though
at least three-iourths of an average crop
perhaps a full average.
Potato digging is now we'll under way :;
generally the crop is good, though not
heavy; in the White River country
blight is complained OF. Fall vegetables
are in fine condition. Apples and pears
are abundant.
The soil is in good condition, and con-
siderable blowing and fall seeding has
been done. Some fall sown wheat is re-
ported up in Lewis county. Pastures
are quite good, and rain is not apparent
ly needed. 1t would probably be for the
best interests OF the farmers generally
II only few small showers should occur
during the succeeding two or three
weeks.
Looking back over the crop season
now practically at its close, it appears
that it has been altogether a very pro-
life one throughout the state. The re-
lation between favorable weather and
successful crops has never been more
clearly shown. Dry weather in Nav
shortened the small-fruit crop, and the
hay crop trEe, but the rains in lima
and July, with cool weather in. the fiji.
ing season, caused production of grain
which has never been surpassed il
equalled in the history ofthe state Veg.
etables OF all kinds have done as we'll a.
usual. The fall fruits have welded
'ountltully. The farmers have cause fo,
shankiulness, and, asia matter Of fact
hey are happier than Tor years, and an
pear reJuyenated. As one correspondent,
happily writes: Not only the farmers
bnt also their wives, appear ten wear,

The Very Last One

Whenever Il reporter Oh rr San
Francisco dailies gets short Of news
he stats his brain steamlng and
~evaporatfs a new story on Vie big
fight. Here is the very last one from
the Bulletin:
Die you know that Martin Julian
barely escaped with his head at Car
son! were the words Of a pug enthu-
siastic yesterday, who was all through
the Nevada campaign. The writer
was Obliged to plead ignorance to the
stirring episode. We'll, he did, and
he wasn't missed by a mile, either"
continued the speaker very much
wrought up over his narrative. 1T
was the night before the great tat1le
thai Julian, accompanied by a party
OF frlerds, was seen about Carson
taking in the drinking resorts.
Round after round Of Nevada tanele-
foot was inhibited, and YOU know what
kind of goods they sell up in that
borough. 1t was so vile that it would
XIII rattiesnakes. OF courae he more
dope Julian drank the drunken he got
and when he is drunk he is insulting.
He commenced TO abuse everybody
ass Nciatet with Corbett
There happened to be friends OF
the Californian III the last jim mill he
Julian party struck, an0 they were
fllends whO knew how to sight across
a gun barrel. AS Julian fipped a
tive-dollar piece upon the bar he rip
ped out a vollev Of oaths cursing Cor
bett. Julian always disliked jim
more than ven Fitz did. You will
remember that when they met in the
ring, Fltz was willing to shake hands.
but Julian prevented them. This
showed the managers contempt for
Jim. In the saloon Martin was al
lowed to vent his spleen, and then he
was called by Corbett's friends. Julian
was gust drunk enough to be quarrel
some. One word led to another, and
eventually there was an aI-roupd
mlX-up. Revolvers were swung in
air and a bullet, accidentally or other
wise, barely graZed Julian's check.
he shot took all the ~bulldozing ont
OF MIN, and the Julian party sneaked
back to camp. 1t was a mighty close
CAL for Fltz' glib manager.

ne deStlnctly states that he has up tc

The APPEAL editor was also present
"hen Mr.. Livingston made this final
agreement with Mr.. Ellinghouse on
the depot platform. The letter con-
tinues:
L am very much surprised at Mr..
Livingston not sending me word as 10
what he ex pected in the way of rant

In view of this letter it is possible
that Mr.. LiviDgston's letter has NOT
reached Ellinghouse.
since the above Vas in type the
AFPEAL learns that the a Mr.
EIilnghonse had received no word
fron Mr.. Livingston was because he
had changed his address without noti-

A we'll selected text is half of the scr.
mon. Given a good text and preacher
who is In earnest, and the result is sure
70 be good. The text of this article is a
plain simple statement that proves itself
N the readers own mind without argu.
ment. The text is GOOD health is bet
ter than great riches"
Without health nothing really matters
very much. A hacking cough takes all
the beauty out of landscape or sunset.
Erysipelas or eczema will spoil the enjoy.
ment of sprightly conversation, of beau
tlful concert, of a wonderful painting.
The biggest bank account in the world
won't pay man for his health, but a
very small amount of money will make
him healthy and keep him healthy.
Most all bodily troubles start in the
digestive or respiratory organs. It is
here that improper living first makes an
opening for disease. The development
differs as constitutions and temperaments
differ. The causes are almost identical.
To get at the root of the matter is simple
enough if you start right.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
IS medicine for the whole body. It
works through the digestive organs on
all the others.
It cures the first thing it comes to and
after that, the next. It puts health in
place of disease in the stomach, and from
the vantage ground thus gained, it
reaches every fiber of the body and drives
disease before it indigestion, liver
troubles, kidney complaint, biliousness,
skin and scalp diseases, salt-rheum, letter,
eczema, and all the troubles caused by
impure blood.

HOFFMAN'S ESTATE,

Som ething About Its Value and
How 1t VIII Be Distributed.
On the books of the firm of Hoffman.
Rothchild & Co. the amount invested in
The business by the Hoffman Brothers is
placed at $4,000 This, it is said. is
owned by them in equal shares. With
the profits of the past year, the share of
each brother will be somewhat in excess
OF $10O, 600. Isaac Hoffman, 1t is stated by
his relatives, carried no life insurance of
any kind, and the entire estate left by
him, therefore consists OF his intere st in
the firm Of Hoffman, Rothchild & Co.
As no will was left by the deceased,
so far as known, the property will
be divided as provided by the civil code
of the State. This will give the widow
one-half of the estate rs her share
OF the community property, and one
third of the remainder as her share of
the property over which the deceased had
the power of disposition. She will there
fore take in the aggregate two thirds of
the estate, or about $6Z 600. There are
four minor children, three boys and one
girl Each of the minors will get one
twelfth of the property, or about $4,000.
The eldest is not more than 7 years of age.
According to the law the business must
b wound up by the surviving partner or
partners or if the business is to be con-
tinued, he or they must purchase the in
terest of the deceased from the heirs
where they are minors, for cash. There is
no dou1t but that the latter course will be
pursued in this instance.

SAID the Bush-stree entrance was open
and he entered the store that way.
My friends object in visiting the store
at that time was 10 procure so Genus worth
OF stamps. When he reached the office
Figel and Hoffman were engaged in a very
animated conversation. and were appar-
entity quite angry.
Inc oookSeeper told me that he asked
FlgeI for the stamps, but the latter an
sWered MIN very curtly that he was busy
ana had no stamps for sale. Mr.. Hoffman

him to get the stamps desired, whereupon

Mrs Craven was then called 10 the wit

Before court adjourned last Friday,
Mrs. Craven" said Mr. Wheeler. "your
attention was directed to letter which
Judge Aitken sent you at the time he re-
turned that contract by which he was 20
serve as your attorney. Have you brought
that letter to court with you?"
Mrs. Craven said she had not done so,
and being asked why explained that she
had been too i'll during the adjournment
to devote any time to a search. She said
she thought she could put her hand on
the letter without any great difficulty, and
said she would do so; that she would have
the letter in court to-day if it was desired.
This seemed satisfactory all round, so
the subject of the letter was dropped

"And where was that?'

Wheeler was going on to ask the wit
ness which corner Aitken's office was on,
what floor of the building, whether she
took an elevator or elm bed the stairs
and all that when Mr.. Delmas arose with
an objection. He said he thought the time
ripe for settling Inc question as to whether
or not counsel for the heirs had the right
to badger Mrs. Craven while she was
serving on the stand as their own witness
He safd he believed they had not the
privilege OF cross examination under such
circumstances.
A long argument, in which authorities
were quoted literally. followed, and was
bidding fair TO take up the entire after
noon. Fortunately, however, Mr.. Wheeler
let it slip in the course of his talk that he
was aiming to prove that Mrs. Craven did
not go to Judge Atken's S office at the lime
she said she did. Mr.. Delmas upon hear
ing this Immediately withdrew his obiec-
tions to the most rigid examination of The
witness.
The trouble with the learned gentle
The San Francisco call., 1897-06-15

pointed people to-day in the vicinity OF
the Coroner's Office. Owing to the re-
stricted quartz at the service OF that Off
cial it is likely that none but those directly
connected with the Hoffman case, such as
witnesses, those representing the Police
Department, attorneys and newspa pei
men, will be admitted to the apartment in
which the inquest is to be held.
The Coroner will per >onally conduct the
examination of witnesses. but will be in
formally assisted by Chief Lees and Attor-
neys Ach and Murphy. While the Coro-
ner will himself put all the questions to
the witnesses the other gentlemen named
will prompt many OF the questions that
will be asked.
The most i'm portant witness who will be
placed on the stand will be Theodore
Ficel, the former bookkee per of the firm
of Hoffman, Rothchild Il Co. 1t is not
unlikely that he will be supported by one
or more attorneys durlng the inquest. 1t
