CROP REPORT.

The following bulletin has been is.
sued from the weather bureau, Wash.
ington section, for the week ending
Aug. IL, 1901:
In general, the past week was clear
warm, and dry. The first part had
two hot days, which were followed by
cloudy mornings and cooler weather,
with copious showers on the 7th in To-
calities of the eastern counties. The
last three days of the week were
warmer. Extensive forest fires in the
western section caused the atmos-
phere to be smoky.
Pastures are drying up from lack OF
rain in the western section, and gar
dens are beginning to suffer. Orchards
have also felt the effects Of the pro.
longed dry spell, and unless rain comes
soon apples will DO small and poor.
Early potatoes, while of good quality,
are OF somewhat diminished yield.
Oats are beginning to turn. In some
early fields little cutting has been
done, but it will be week before the
oat harvest becomes general. The
oats are very promising. Hops con.
tinue in good condition. Some report
them thin and light, but there is
promise 81 good crop.
In some parts Of the eastern coun.
ties copious rains occurred on the 7th,
delaying harvesting, and lodging q
small amount of wheat. With that
exception, the fall wheat harvest has
progressed without interruption, and
is now well along. so far as binding is
concerned, but not SO large an amount
has been threshed. Where threshing
has been done, the yield proved ex.
ceeded al expectations. The weather
has continued favorable for spring
wheat and it will soon be ripe enough
for cutting to begin. It is now practi-
caily certain that the wheat crop Of
the State will be an exceptionally fine
one.

A CRANK who had literally money
to burn" lately died in Chicago, leav.
ing directions by will that $25, 600 in
paper money, left by him, should be
publicly cremated. As usual, heirs
object, and an attempt will be made
to set aside the will. 1t surely seems
that if DETACHMENT of money is a
crime, as the government has decreed,
complete destruction of as useful a
medium as money, should be made
the subject OF some legal restraint.

THE P.-L. institutes a very COM
mendable reform in journalism by
publishing only the bare facts of the
hanging of Boyce, the wife-murderer.
There was no attempt at emotional
writing; no effort to excite the
morbid impulse OF sympathy for the
malefactor. Let us hope that this
example will be followed, and that the
narrowing details OF crime and the
disgusting incidents OF the prize-fght.
will be relegated to obscurity by all
respectable moulders of popular opin.
ion.

That Hoquiam Automobile.

With the advent of the automobile
comes another class of horrors, rival
ing engine runaways and railroad COL
lisions in exciting episodes. Some en-
terprising citizens of Hoquiam lately
introduced this novelty to patrons of
the summer resorts at Gray's Harbor
having had large "auto," holding
thirty passengers, specially construct
ed to run between their town, Aber-
deem and other contiguous cities. All
was going on we'll, and owners, drivers
and passengers having a delightful
experience with the horseless vehicle,
when, one day, it became obstreperous,
and absolutely refused to obey the
throttle, which answers the purpose OF
reins to check the motive power of
stage coaches, omnibuses, and other
vehicles Of by-gone age. The auto
continued on, with increasing speed
until the passengers became alarmed,
and then panic-stricken with fear,
when somebody suggested that the
runaway vehicle be turned into the
brush which lined the track-an ordi-
nary country wagon road. "No SOON
er said than done"; the guiding wheels
were turned, when 10! wonderful
experience followed. The auto went
crashing through the brush, jumping
over logs, and finally attempted to
climb tree, when it upset, after scat
tering its load of human freight all
along its eccentric course through the
deep-tangled wildwood" The wheels
continued to revolve until the ma
chine, like the Deacon's Wonderful
One-Hoss Shay" resolved itself into a
heap OF wood and metal. And the
drivers feelings were doubtless like
the Deacon's,
when he got up and stood around,

THERE is q strong probability of war
between the South American govern
ments OF Colombia and Venezuela.
The relations between the two mu-
inequalities is complicated by revolu-
tionary outbreaks in both countries.
Colombia is by far the stronger power,
having a population of 5000, 900 to g.
100000 in Venezuela. The former
has likewise an army of 10000 we'll
disciplined men, while her opponent
must depend mainly on those who
have been maintaining sort of armed
neutrality against revolutionary bands.
1t is said that the United States gov.
eminent considers the situation of
sufficient gravity to warrant the dis
patch OF some OF the ships of the

waters to look after American inter-
ests. 1t is probable that the U. S.
steamer Ranger, now at San Diego,
will be ordered to Panama for a like
purpose. Her commander has been
ordered to make preparptions for de-
parture on short notice.

We Told You So.

A gentleman OF broad and liberal
views, fresh from the Atlantic coast,
is visiting Olympia for the first time.
Having taken q walk to the old
Capitol grounds and examined the
magnificent foundation now slowly re-
iapsing into decay, he expresses great
astonishment at the "silly" turn Of
events regarding the erection of per-
manent State-house, and confidently
predicts that it is only question of a
short term Of years when the ultimate
Capitol Of Washington will be erected
on the original site as wisely set apart
for it years ago. He furthermore
states that ii the foundation now under
sheds is properly cared for it will de-
teriorate in no perceptible degree in
five or even ten years and that it can
then be utilized as well as the day it
it was reared by the contractor.
While he sees in the late court
house building and its proposed annex
competent edifice for present needs,
he naively observes that the work now
being done on the grounds is a per-
manent investment of capital, for our
rising State will soon require far
more commodious grounds and even a
larger building than originally contem-
plated. And this is is the way the stu
alton appeals to the eye of a stranger;
but whether the visitor to our beauti-
full city is reliable prophet or only a
casual observer, he is certainly voicing
the sentiments tacitly held by many
far-seeing people of Olympia as we'll
as by conservative legislators from dis
tant portions of the State. Nothing
is better known to observant people
than that the original suggestion of
purchasing the Thurston county court
house for State Capitol was only a
subterfuge to stave off the question
until adequate strength could be
massed for its removal to another To-
cality whose ardent citizens were han
kering for it with bigger gusto than
ever the children of Israel hankered
after the flesh-pots OF Egypt. But the
sequel has proved that the suggestion
OF purchasing the court house over
reached itself and, in the end, turned
out fatal error.
Our late Legislature accepted the
amendment" to the bitter and ever.
lasting disgust Of its authors, and the
Capitol of the Evergreen State is no
longer on wheels.
