Elk City Items.

Mr.. Frank Irwin, editor of the
Corvallis Times, and family and
Mrs. ]. c. Avery are here to spend
few days of fishing and to enjoy
the blessings of this delightful
climate. Mrs. Avery is a pioneer,
having crossed the plains with an
OK team i'll 1916. She with her
husband located in Corvallis and
have lived there ever since. She is
now 76 years old but seems to be
in perfect health and in the enjoy
ment of all her faculties. She is
well posted in the early history of
the country, and it is interesting to
talk with her upon those subjects.
The party is having nice time,
Mr.. Irwin having caught IS or 80
fish each day, while he was un-
fortunate in losing about as many
more from his hook. In trying to
land big trout the line broke and
the festive editor fell backward into
the placid waters Of the Yaquina,
getting complete ducking. When
he came to the top of the water he
was not using language according
to the bible requirements. When
Mr.. Irwin gets a fish on the hook
ne gets nervous and jerks so qnick
and hard that it has got to come, or
its head comes off or the hook pulls
out. 1t is fine sport and very ex-
citing to catch these fine trout aud
big salmon on hook.
William Buoy, Henry Cannon
and mine host Schmeer of the
Toledo house were also here fish
ing and caught a number of nice
trout. The weather is fine and the
fish are easily caught. A good
many are engaged in this sport.
The two boys reported in the
Times as coming from Big Elk and
getting 50 frightened at the big
engine as to run half way up the
mountain, thinking the engine
would catch them, were from Ben
ton county, near Tum Tum. We
have no such boys in this comfy.
Rev. Mr.. Dawson and family are
visiting Mr.. Bevens and family.
The reverend gentleman tried his
hand at fishing, but did not succeed

Crop and Weather Bulletin.

| Oregon station u. ). department OF
agriculture:
Fair weather prevailed during
the last seven days, except on Tues
day over the northern portion of
western Oregon, where .o4 of an
inch of rain fell, and during We'd
nesday afternoon and night, when
generally less than 10 of all inch
fell in the Columbia River valley
and over northeastern Umatilla
county. The temperature from 10
a. m. to sunset was warm; the night
temperatures were cool, but materi-
ALLY above the frost point. There
were few clouds from Thursday.
The winds were fresh in force from
the north. The rain did no damage,
except to slightly delay harvesting
operations i'll few sections.
Harvesting and threshing con-
tinue. The grain crop is all har-
vested in the southern counties of
western Oregon and threshing is
nearly completed; reports state that
the grain crop is thoroughly salts
factory in yield and that no damage
was done by the rains. In the
coast counties the grain is practi-
cally secured. In the Willamette
valley counties the grain is prac-
tlcally all cut; threshing continues;
the greater portion of the grain will
be threShed by the close of the cur
rent week. Some correspondents
report wheat and oats slightly dam
aged by the rains, but, as rule,
the reports indicate that the grain
was not materially injured. The
spring-SoWn grain is turning out
better than was expected. In the
eastern portions of the state har-
harvesting and threshing continue.
Threshing is active in all districts
The cutting Of the second clover
crop is now in progress; in some
sections three crops have been cut
this year. Pastura2e is reported
to be better than for years; there
is an abundance of hay on hand for
feed during the winter in all sections
of the state. The hay crop is extra
large over the stock country.
Flowing and seeding continue;
the ground is in good condition and
the weather is ideal for all farm
work. Grain sown in August is
making fine growth.
Hop picking continues under the
most favorable circumstances. In
those yards where cultivation and
spraying were properly done, the
hop crop is in good conditions; in
poorly attended yards the hops,
while large. are mouldy, or, as
known in England, "black blight"
prevails. The hop crop, as a whole,
is as good as any ever picked in
Oregon, and it is being secured
much better than is usual. Hon
picking will be completed in about
ten days more.
While crops of all kind, except
hay and hops, are not up to the
average in Oregon, yet they would
be called big crops in almost every
other STAT. Ten days more of
pleasant weother will find CROPS
practically all gathered.
Weather.-The mean tempera-
ture for the week, s. degrees, is .
degrees lower than for the preced.
ing week and I degree lower than
tor the corresponding week Of last
year. The maNimum temperatures
ranged from 81 degrees to So deg.
and the minimum from 46 to 60
degrees Rain TO the amount of .o1
1i all inch fell in the northern DOR.

ARIZONA AIR.
Evidence of the Clearness of the Arizona
 Atmosphere.

The early astronomers of Persia were of course unacquainted with tele- scopes, and are credited with share vision and great persistence in the ac- cumulation of astronomical observa- tions, were greatly facilitated by the purity of the atmosphere in that part of the globe. The observations made at Mir. Lowell's fine astronomical ob- servatory at Flagstaff, Arizona, have during recent years, established the fact that no region of the globe can offer d clearer atmosphere for the ob- servatiOn of the stars than is to be found in that territory. An indepen- dent confirmation of this fact is found in an observation noted in the March report of the Arizona section. Mr. G. 0. Scott, voluntary observer at Tonto. in Gila county. notes that on the morning of the 7th he observed star before sunrise, closer to the moon than "any have seen in years" Dr. w. E. Day, voluntary observer at Prescott, Yavapai county, northwest of TOnto. noted "a star travelling along with the moon all day, plainly visible until p. III. of the Sth."
 The bright star seen by these twoob- servers was undoubtedly the planet Venus.
 lt usually requires a combination of favorable circumstances to see the brightest with the naked eye in the day time, but we understand these Ob- servers in Arizona directed the planet without any special effort. Prof. Cleve- land Abbe, Monthly Weather Review, March. 1899.

PIG IRON FiMiSE.

The pig iron famine predicted
by trade journals several weeks
ago appears to have materialized.
Cleveland brokers say dealers
are rot trying to sell iron for
shipment before January / next,
and that none is to be had for
shipment before September l.
There will be a long period at
the end of the year, it is predict
ed, when there will be nothing
but contract iron.
A largo per cent of manufac-
turers, the per cent being placed
as high as 40, arc depending en-
tirely on wild iron, and it is said
that most Of these will have to
close down.

ALL FEEL RICH,

The county treasurer as com
pleted his part of the June ap-
portionment of taxes. The last
receipt for taxes was written late
yesterday afternoon, says the
News. Tribune. and the receipts
were then summarized. The II. .
suit shows the largest amount of
cash on hand in years. The to-
tai amount now placed to the
credit Of the county foots up to
81, 311, 453.72. This includes cash
available in banks and in the
county's vaults, money advanced
to towns, villages, school dis
tricts, etc., and the amounts in
broken banks. The county is so
flush with coin that even the
county employees, although the y
have not received a raise in sala-
ry, nor have they been compen-
sated for their extra work of
late, feel flush too. They all
smoke good cigars and look
prosperous, for the county is
more than q millionaire.

NOT MINING on ST1TE LINN


a st. Paul dispatch states thai
the state has yet TO receive the
first remittance for ere mined on
lands owned by the state along
the Mesaba and Vermilion ranges
since the first Of the year. The
mines on state lands under con
tract are required to pay a roy
atty of 25 cents per ton on 5000
tons of ore every year whether
mined or not, if u railroad is TO-
Gated within one mile of the
property. In the case of mines
on state lands on the ranges,
shipping facilities are close at
hand, but no royalties have been
paid the state except Oh the 5000
toms not mined from each con
tract.
Mining operations on the two
ranges were never livelier than
the presen; season, but mining
companies are to d great extent
confining their operations to the
properties owned in fee simple
or held under more advantageous
contracts than are obtainable
from the state. Therefore the
state is the temporary loser, &C.
spite the fact Of general activity
in mining circles.
