NOW that good warm weather has ar
rived and people are beg: nning to wonder
what to do with their Sundays, days-off
and holidays, theenew state capitol build
ing is becoming quite an attraction One
OF the members of the state capitol com
mission was seen yesterday afternoon and
he ventured a guess that between now
and Sept. l. the time set for the
completion Of the DOME at least 1C0,NO
people will have visited the new state
house. These figures, at first. seem to

req1embered9lthat several national con-
ventions will be held in ST. Paul within
the next three mt onths they do not seem
so large The building has now stood
so long waiting for the erection of the
dome that people have become curious
to see how it will appear when completed
and those who live near the ma assive
structure, will be among those who pay
"a visit to it.
1t is not long since the work on the
dome commenced and there is now only
eight or ten feet to build on the dome
part. Then the construction of the bell
will begin. The commissioners think
that the top of the bell part will be
placed in position some time in August
and, at the very latest, by September /.
Already visitors have commenced to
appear at the state house to see how
much of the dome has been completed.
Many were there yesterday, and the
numbers are expected to rapidly increase
as the Sundays go by. The model house,
now on exhibition in the old capitol
building is d. beautiful piece of work

The directors of the Father Matthews
Abstinence society were to have met at
Cretln hall yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of making arrangements for the
convention, but the meeting was post
poned owing to the absence of some of
the members. One of the directors, how
ever, consented to give an outline of
the programme eontempla led. and which
will in all probability be carried out He
said:
The coming convention is looked upon
as one of great importance to all Catho-
lies of the state, and the programme.
when completed, will be an elaborate one
AS everyone knows, Archbishop Ireland
was the founder of this society. and. as
this is the parent society of all others
IN the state. he is practically the founder
OF the state association, AMI now the
leading spirit. He wi be invited to be
present at the exercises to be held at
the cathedral the first day. and his
speech will, of course, be the main fea-
tuce. Various representatives of societies
over the state will afterwards be given a
chance to speak of the good work done
where they live and to offer suggestions
for the future. ~
The second day will be devoted to busi-
ness and the sessions of the convention
will DE held at Cretin hall. One of the
most important things to come up will
be an attempt to introduce the insurance
feature, now in force in the local society,
in the other organizations throughout the
state. BY the plan in use here. assess
ments are levied only when death oc-
ours. 1t is the intention to en- arge upon
the scheme and to get every member of
all the societies to fall into line. Be
sides the business to be transacted on the
second day, memorial services will be
held for the members of the societies who
have died during the year. The third
day will be devoted entirely to social
pleasures.

OIL-STRIKE At TENlNO.
II Gives Promise Of Being VeritabIe Gushel

II Gives Promise Of Being Veritable Gusher.
1t is probably the sal" used in the
splendid coal prospect hole near Blu
coda, q couple OF years ago, that made
our people somewhat doubtful of the
reported strike, last Tuesday, of coal
oil, a few miles southwest Of Tenino,
on the Jonathan Sarver place, in the
olden-time ranch, known rs the Ti!ley
homestead. 1t was no secret, however,
that the Puget Sound Petroleum Co.
had begun boring, with experienced
workmen in charge and the best of
machinery in use, to prosecute the
work with speed and precision. As it
was reported that actual boring had be-
gun late on Saturday, it led to farther
doubt. but this apparent improbability
was explained by the unusual and un-
answerable claim that the precious
fluid had been, in this special instance,
found at q much less depth than was
generally expected, the twelveinch
hole having been sunk only 19o feet
when, Tuesday At noon, the oil vein
was struck.
Drilling at once ceased, for it is be-
lieved that when the next stratum OF
white sandstone is pierced, flowing
we'll will be developed, and the outlet
must be cased to ensure stability OF its
wall.
The drill passed through 50 feet OF
yellow clay and sandstone, and l4S
feet of hard blue clay. 1t is reported
that at least ten barrels seepage al
ready fills the hole, and that it is an
excellent grade of lubricating oil,
which when refined will sell for " q
barrel.
The news OF the strike has been
confirmed by Barton Robinson, one of
the company's managers, who came to
town Wednesday. 1t is no surprise to
the projectors, for they had experts
making a thorough examination OF
the county for some time past, and

Crop Report.

The U. S. Department OF Agricul-
ture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of the
Weather Bureau, Washington Sec
ton, is as follows for the week ending
May q, 1901:
The fore part of the past week was
cool and cloudy, with some light
showers, which, however, did not reach
all parts OF the State. On the morn
ing OF the ODD there were general
frosts, which were heavy in some To-
calities, but no damage was done.
Friday, the 2ith, was the first sum-
merlike day of the season, and Satur-
day and Sunday were quite warm, the
thermometer reading as high as 80 de-
grees in the Western section, and Sc
degrees in the Eastern section. Hot
and dry north to east winds prevailed.
Although there are localities in the
Eastern section where the crops
would be the better for more rain, yet
the moisture remaining in the ground
from the copious rains ten days ago
will prevent actual injury to crops, I'M
less hot, dry winds should continue.
In most localities of the State the
warm. sunny weather following the
heavy showers has caused rapid
growth, and most crops are doing
finely.
In the Eastern section early winter
wheat is commencing to head. Spring
wheat is late, but is slowly improving.
In the Walla Walla country the ex-
pectations are high for great wheat
crop. Possible hot winds in June is
now the only contingency feared. In
the Yakima country ranchers are
training hops and thinning fruit.
Haying will begin there in ten days.
In the section west of the Cascades
the crops improved greatly. Pastures
and meadows are in excellent condi-
ton. Hops are high on the poles.
Late potatoes are coming up we'll, and
the early ones that are nipped by
frost are recovering. Wheat is in fair
condition in Clarke and Lewis coun-
ties, and oats are making satisfactory
growth in the Sound counties. Straw
berries are setting rapidly, and the
crop will apparently be bountiful
one.
