According to Gen. Davis who has
been in comma nd at Porto Rico, the peo-
pie Of that island are worse OF now than
they were under Spanish rule. This Is
because all their trade facilities have been
out off. and they are now practically
without a market for their products.
This long continued, means poverty and
disoont mt and possibly an insurreotion.
The remedy is OF course Ii to open our
markets free to the people Of the island.
and this can be done none too soon.

He Is convinced that they cannot gov

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

U. s. Department of Agric ulture
has given out the following Climate
and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Blu:
reau, Washington Section, for the
week ending August 18th:
The temperature of the week was
moderate, being trifle below normal.
With the exception of scattered show
ers on the 9Th and 9th in the eastern
and southern counties, and ON the 18th
in the vicinity of Spokane, the weather
continued dry. The drought has not
become prolonged, there having been
no rain in many localities sufficient to
wet the ground since July 9Th, q per-
iod OF nearly six weeks.
Pastures are becoming dried up and
short, vegetation parched, the water
supply scant, and for many reasons
rain would be very desirable, but COM
ing now in the midst of harvest it
would be disastrous.
Fall wheat cutting is nearly all over,
and threshing is we'll along. The
yield is far below expectations, rang
ing in different localities from con-
siderably less than an average crop to
a little above the average. The causes
assigned for the shortage are rust and
hot winds. Spring wheat cutting is in
progress; the yield is, as stated in the
preceding bulletin, poor to fair. This
was expected, Oh account of the in
furious effect of hot, dry winds, during
July. The barley crop was almost y
failure from the same cause, and SO
also was the oat crop in the Eastern
counties. Reports of the oats in the
Western counties have thus far been
good.
The sugar beets in Spokane county
were helped by showers. Hops are do.
ing we'll, both east and west of the
mountains, and are two weeks earlier
than last year. Tho danger of their
being injured by rain at maturity is
thereby considerably lessened. 1t is
estimated that the cutworms injured
potatoes in some parts of the western
section to the extent of one-half of the
crop. Whole fields of cabbage and
beets were DESTROYED,

1t is said that syndicate of Spo.
kane people have concluded to sink o
drill on the Colvin place, near Bucoda,
to develop a layer OF high-grade coal.
Just what expectation they base their
faith upon, is not apparent, but it
surely should be something more than
clearly proven "salted" prospect
from a well-worked scheme, a year or
more ago. Some residents of the dis.
trict affect to believe that the Great
Northern is at the head of the present
movement, but it is noted that Hill
