NORTHERN WHEAT MARKET
OREGON.

PORTLAND, July 15.-Spring grown grain
and re-seeded fields of wheat on light lands in
a number of localities in the Northwest may be
termed in a critical condition as a result of the
hot weather of the past week. The intensely
hot weather has caught the grain at a stage
where II was at the worst disadvantage. At
nearly all points south OF Snake River fall
grain and spring grain, planted early on heavy
soil, is not injured by the heat. but grain
less fortunately situated has been burning. Re
ports are in a measure conflicting, but reports
received in this city within the past forty-eight
hours show that the crop in many localities
has been considerably damaged.

DR.. W. |. Seymour, Waco, Tex:
Dear Sir 1T affords me much
pleasure to write you in regard to
my little boy, whose eyes were
treated by you some five or six
months ago. Before your treat
ment he couldn't see to study, but
since your treatment he now at
tends school regularly and can see
without difficulty. Anyone need
ing your treatment could not in
my estimation do better than plac-
ing themselves under your care.
All Of which | heartily recon-
mend.
Should you visit Bryan again, |
shall bring my son to see you.
When you come, | shall take the
opportunity of having you fit my
glasses. Yours truly,
Mas. l.. b. REED.
