Weekly Bulletin.


The past week has been one OF the
warmest on record in Western Oregon.
The, mean temperature for the week
averaged IS degrees, which is degrees
higher than for the preceding week,
and 5 degrees higher than the preced-
ing warmest week this year. The
maximum temperatures averaged 81
degrees, and minimum 65 degrees.
Wednesday and Thursday were unus-
ally warm, the minimum temperature
being about 20 degrees in the interior
valleys; as a rule, 60 degree is a high
minimum. Temperatures of 100 de-
grees occurred in Josephine and jack
son counties, in other inferior coun-
ties they are from SS degrees to 9S de-
grees: along the coast they were from
IS degree to S5 degrees. No rain fell
during the week, except in portions of
Josephine and Jackson counties,
here thunder occurred on Thursday
and Friday with a variable AMOUNT f
rainfall, from trace to .3S Of an inch.
The atmosphere is becoming more
sun ky. The winds have been north
erly.
Crops.-Threshing of fall and winter
sown wheat and oats is about finished.
The yield has been equal to expecta-
tions, and the quality above an aver
age. Harvesting of spring-sown
wheat and oats is in full operation;
threshiDg of them has commenced,
and reports agree as to the excellent
yield and weight. Within ten days,
the grain crop will be out of the way.
The second crop of clover is from 8
to IL inches high in the coast counties,
while lin the interior counties the
grass is drying up. 'Buckwheat, will
not be an average crop, owing to the
heat and absence of rainfall.
The hot weather has "een of espec-
ial benefit to the hops, checking the
ravages of the hop louise and drying
up the honey dew. The hop crop has
been injured by the hop louise, but to
what extent cannot be determined;
if mould should not appear among the
hops, then the crop will be fair.
Picking of early hops commenced,
and this week will find picking quite
generals; the active and general pick
ing will not begin for ten days yet.
Peaches and bartlett pears are
ripening rapidly, and train-loads of
fruit are being shipped east of the
Missouri river. The peach and pear
crops are unusually large and of extra
good quality. Prunes are ripening
and evaporating has commenced. Figs
are ripe in Curry and Jackson cOun
ties, and the trees have on them
heavy crops. Grapes are making good
growth and a heavy crop will be Sc
cured.

The Mining Record says that Inspector
w. NJ. Scarth, of the Canadian police.
who is also commissioned 10 act as post
master at Dawson City, has expressed
himself as favoring the plan suggested
that the several postmasters along the
Juneau-Circle City mail route be author
lied to open the mail sacks and to dis
tribute therefrom such matter as may be
intended for parties within their districts.
Notwithstanding that ii may be address
ed to other points. The inspector will
thoroughly investigate the matter. and
will make full report to his government
in accord with the facts elected. The
present method Of carrying everything
through to Circle City entails a serious
loss of time in the delivery of letters to
the many who have come up the river to
the new fields, and this alone is sufficient
to warrant the measure suggested. that
the postmasters on either side of the line
be furnished keys to the mail locks and
be authorized to take out and distribute
such letters as they find for persons in
their respective localities.
