THE LEADER.
R. E. COLLINS, EDIToR.-
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER l, 1899.
Weekly Crop Bulletin.

day, August %, 1899, from Oregon
station U. S. department of agri-
culture:
The rains have ceased and fair
weather has again set in. The
rains began on August 9 and ceased
during the night of the 10th. Rain
did not fall every day; there were
intervals of fair weather and bright
sunshine, but the temperature was
abnormally low. The total rainfall
for the month amounts to from 22
to 2.4S, inches, except over the
Plateau region, where one inch or
less fell. Snow fell during the last
week upon the mountains of north
eastern Oregon, and frosts occurred
over the Plateau region on the 18th,
18th and 2cth; on the latter date
frosts occurred on the higher eleva-
tions of southwestern Oregon, east
of the Coast mountains. The
weather which has prevailed during
the month was unprecedented. At
Walla Walla the records are COM
plete since 1857 and the former
heavy rainfall in August was in
1896 and in 1897, when 1924 inches
fell. At Portland the heaviest
previous August rainfall was in
1881, when 2.II inches fell; in that
year I.oI inches fell on the 18th,
I4th and 18th; then dry weather
prevailed until the Goth, when rain
until September I. In 1856 at
Portland I.I6 inches fell from the
Ist to the 9TH. In 1879 at Rose
burg I.47 inches fell, which is the
previous heavy rainfall, and in 1894
at Baker City o.55 of an inch fell
In these years the temperature was
higher and the air not SO damp.
The weather during the month was
therefore unprecedented.
The season has been late since
February. Harvesting Of fall
sown grain is usually we'll advanced
by August I, but this year it was
not generally commenced before
that date; the result was about one
half the grain was in shock when
the rains began. Owing to the
fact that usually there is no rain III
August, it has not been the practice
10 put cap sheaf on shocks; the
result is, the rains thoroughly wet
the shocked grain. From the 9th
to the 27th there were not sufficient
dry weather to permit the shocked
grain to dry out, with the result
that sprouting set in. The damage
done by the rains cannot be truly
estimated; the greatest damage
occurred in the Willamette valley
and i'll northeastern Umatilla coun-
ty. The damage in no case exceed
10 per cent, as only about one-half
the fall grain had been cut; the
total loss will not exceed S per cent.
The rains have been of benefit to
spring-sown grain, 10 hops, corn,
potatoes, pasturage, clover and gar
dens, and it is thought that the
benefit will fully offset the damage,
so that the only loss is in the de-
layed work. Harvesting and
threshing will be resumed by We'd
nesday.
Hops are in first-class condition;
vines are free from lice, and the
burrs are free from mould and are
plentiful. The hop crop is today
more promising than it ever was
before. Hop picking will COM
mence in the southern counties
about September I and in the
Willamette valley about September
10th.
Prune drying will commence

A Good Complexion
Depends on Good Digestion.

This is almost an axiom, although usually
we are apt to think that cosmetics, face
powders lotions, fancy soaps, ETC., are the
secret for securing clear complexion.
But All these are simply superficial assist
ants 1t is impossible to have a good COM
plexion unless the digestive organs perform
their work properly; unless the stomach by
properly digesting the food taken into it fur
nishes an abundance of pure blood a good
complexion is impossible.
This is the reason so many ladies are using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they
promptly cure any stomach trouble, and
they have found out that perfect digestion
means perfect complexion and one that
does not require cosmetics and powders to
enhance its beauty.
Many ladies diet themselves or deny them
selves many articles of food solely in order to
keep their complexion clear.
When Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are used
no such dieting is necessary. Take these
tablets aud eat all the good, wholesome food
You want and you need have no fear of in
digestion nor the sallow. dull complexion
which nine women out of ten have, solely be-
cause they are suffering from some form Of
indigestion.
Bear in mind that beauty proceeds from
good health, good health results from perfect
digestion, and we have advanced the best
argument to induce every man or woman to
give this splendid remedy a trial.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found in
drug stores, and costs but so cents per pack
age. They are prepared by the +. A. Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich.
If there is any arrangement of the stomach
or bowels they will remove it and the result
ant effects are good digestion, good health
and clear, bright complexion. Ask your

Winter weather causes catarrh. Every
body knows this. But everybody does not
stop to think that winter weather delays the
cure of catarrl. It takes longer to cure a
case of catarrh in the Winter, generally, than
in the warm season. Spring is here. Now
is the time favorable to the treatment of old
and especially stubborn cases of catarrh.

nally they drew back and consulted to-

evidently a modified proposition, to which
he acceded, the two parties separating
and returning TO their own lines. But the
white flags continued TO fly in the breeze,
and the firing was not continued. a
buzz Gf eager comment ran along the
lines Of both sides.

in the fighting of the last few days. To
ward the middle Of the afternoon three
rebel officers crossed their lines and walk
