CROP REPORT.

The meteorological report for the
week ending on the Goth inst, as
published by the u. S. Weather Blu
rcau, Washington Section, is as fol-
lows:
The past week was moderately cool
and without rain, except for few
scattered, light showers. The general
effect on vegetation was beneficial, es-
pecially to growing tuber and root
crops. Potatoes, with few exceptions,
are doing very well; rutabagas, etc, in
the extreme west had usually favorable
conditions.
The weather was favorable for fruit
except that high west wind blew off
considerable. Early peaches are gone,
and late ones beginning to ripen. The
plum and prune crop is not uniform
in some places they are plentiful, in
other localities the crop is failure.
Peach plums are now ripening.
Haymakers had good week; the
first crop is in stack and barn. Many
in the Eastern Section have cut the
second crop of alfalfa. The dry
weather has burned the pastures, and
near roads the vegetation is covered
with dust. The precipitation, since
March LIST, is five inches less than the
normal, at Seattle.
The harvesting of fall wheat has
gone on interruptedly. Spring wheat
is advancing to maturity and will be
ripe enough to begin cutting in week
in some localities, and three weeks
in the later ones. The report as
to injury by hot winds of the early
part of this month are conflict
ing, but it appears greater than
was stated in last report A larger
amount of grain is found to be
shrivelled, or at least somewhat
shrunkren, than was noticed at first.
But on the whole the crop will be
large, though much of it not of the
highest grade.

For the past three weeks, two whales
have been in the Sound in the vicinity
of Tacoma. and on account of some
boatmen proposing to hunt them, a
strong protest is being made against
such a course. The same men, a
couple of years ago, captured small
whale after torturing it for over three
days, having several harpoons in the
whale during that period, and COM
PEELED it to pull number of boats till
it died. There is some talk OF the city

repetition of the cruelty of two years
ago, should the men persist in going
in pursuit of the whales.

This morning James Morris pleaded

Commissioner Sutherlin of the
Omaha exposition writes:
Thus far the Indians have not
made a formal call at b Montana
state building, and but one of the
men of the plains has visited the
building. This one was a Pawnee,
probably 20 years old. He wore a
pair of mems pants, a SLOUGH a
with the top out, and had a light
blanket thrown over his shoulders.
The old fellow could speak some
English and he appeared to enjoy
sitting down and looking al the oil
paintings. Those of Charles NJ.
Russell, the cowboy artist. were
particularly interesting to him. He
sat for 20 minutes or gazing at
the one in which the Indian buffalo
hunt is pictured, occasionally glanc-
ing up on either side al the large
buffalo heads that hang against the
wall. At first a smile seemed to
creep over his cOuntenance, but later
on when about to depart great tears
gushed from his eyes and rolled
down his cheeks. Finally he said
that scene took him back forty
years, and the parting was indeed
pathetic.
