A Good Showing.

Oregon crops and weather for week
ending July IL.
The showery weather which pre-
vailed from June 18th. closed on the
10th inst. The rainfall for the week
was about one-half of an inch along
the const, one-quarter Of an inch in
the Willamette valley. and one-tenth
OF an inch and less in the Umpqua
and Rogue river valleys. The tempera-
ture averaged 65 degree for the week,
the same as for the preceding week,
The fore part of the week was cool
the latter part warm; on Saturday the
maximum temperature was 92 degrees.
The day temperatures averaged a
degrees, aud the night 50 degrees.
Since Friday, the normal amount OF
sunshine has prevailed.
The change in the weather from
cool and showery to warm and cleaI
was most beneficial. Hay was ready
to cut, but was delayed by the show
eIs; The hay crop will be slightly less
than the average.
Fall wheat harvest has commenced,
and correspondents express the opin-
ion that some phenomenal yields will
be reported. The grawf is plump,
the heads well filled. Some rust is re-
ported. Oats are heavy, flax for fibre
is making a very fine growth, and the
success of the years's crop is certain.
Sugar beets are doing remarkably
we'll. Berries are unusually plenti-
full. Late cherries are now ripe.
Early peaches and early apples are
ripe and are a good crop. Late
peaches will be as large a crop as was
ever gathered. Peach plumbs are
ripeniug and will be ready for the
market within week. Prunes gen.
orally will be good crop, though in
sections they are light. Early pears
will be ripe by the 17Jh; the pear
crop is generally good. Grapes are
unusually fine and promising.
Hops are making a wonderful
growth, and the lice have developed.
The current warm, dry weather will
check the ravages of the hop louise.
Corn is making better growth than
ever before. Potatoes are reported to
be a good crop in every locality.
1t appears that nothing can now
destroy the crops that promise such
excellent results. A year of plenty
appears certain.
The summer type of weather has
again appeared and it may be expected
that warm weather will prevail to
Friday, when cooler weather and
clouds are probable.

Arbitration Probable.

PITTsBURG, July Is 13-Beyond the
strengthening of the miners lines
along the rivers, there was little
change in the strike situation. Iron
clad contracts, which were in force
in several mines in the Monongahela
valley, were swept out of existence
and the strike was made general in
the fourth pool.
The hot-heads are advising drastic
measures. They have been kept in
check so far, but there is no telling
when the fever will break and con-
certed move on Sandy and Plum
creek be made. The greatest inter-
est is now manifested in scheme to
arbitrate the strike question. Labor
commissioners, and the official arbi-
orators of the several states affected,
are gathering in this city.
The state of Ohio is the only one
which has a regularly appointed
board of arbitration. 1t exists for
Just such emergencies as this, and is
paturally eminently we'll prepared for
the work. All the states, with the
Exception OF Kentucky and Tennessee,
where the strike is on, will be repre-
fented in the conferences which are
~ be held here during the next few
days.
