As years. She was a native of Ohio

the part owner of several paying

the season OF prosperity she visited her
relatives and friends on the Sound
several times, and was planning re-
turn northward from one of these
missions of love and duty, when the
grim messenger summoned her hence

Crop Report.

The L. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture, at Seattle, issues the following
Climate and Crop Bulletin OF the
Weather Bureau, Washington Sec
ton, for the week ending May 20,
1901:
The week was cool throughout all
parts of the State, and for the most
part cloudy, with four showery days
in the western section, and two in the
eastern section.
On the 10Th heavy showers were
general over the whole State, an aver
age OF an inch of rainfall occurring
west of the Cascades and half an inch
in the eastern counties.
There were several light frosts, do
ing no damage, but there was too lit
tie sunshine for rapid growth in the
western section. The rains were,
however, of benefit to pastures, mead
ows and crops except on wet, low
lands. East OF the Cascades the soak
ing rains that fell in all localities from
which reports have been received were
very beneficial, especially in the wheat
raising section. In Adams county the
farmers are jubilant, as long dry
spell had imperiled the wheat crop,
which is now regarded as assured.
Winter wheat is making fine progress,
though weedy in some localities
Spring wheat, although little back
ward, is now quite promising.
Meadows and pastures have greatly
improved, and are in excellent condi-
ton. Hops are being trained in the
Yakima country, and also in the west
ern section.
Early potatoes are growing slowly,
and late ones are coming up.
II is now evident that the frequent
frosts of this spring have diminished
the yield of fruit trees, except possibly
apples. There is fine promise for
berries. Sugar beets are reported to
be in fine condition.

TENlNO TIOINGS.
The Oil Craze Seems to Be Taking Hold Of the
Whole Community.

TENINO, May 10.
The long looked for drilling ma
chinery for the Puget Sound Petrole-
UNI Company has arrived and been
hauled to the old Tilley place (now
known as the Sarver Ranch) where it
is set up and will commence work to-
morrow morning. The machinery is
all new and up to date. Three expe-
rienced men have been brought here
from the Ohio oil fields to do the
work, two of them are drillers and one
tool sharpener. The work OF sink.
ing the we'll will be pushed as fast as
possible, and work will continue night
and day. The drill will be started in
sand rock. The hole will be Ii inches
in diameter. The company hope to
find rock for some considerable depth,
thereby avoiding the use of casing.
There is much speculation as TO
the result of tho prospect hole.
Seven hundred shares of the Com
pany's stock were sold to Tenino resi-
dents last week. One party became
so much enthused over the matter Of
striking oil in the first prospect hole,
that he offered to wager 500 to $50
that oil would be struck. The Com
pany's stock is now selling at 12k
cents per share of 81, but notice has
been given that on and after May
Goth, it will be advanced to 20 cents
per share. The Company is very con.
ident of striking oil. which is the
cause of the advance of their stock.
The Douglas Lumber Co.'s mill has
been shut down for several days past,
owing to Dorrance Bros. throwing up
their contract of cutting the lumber

County Commissioner Ismay has
rented the l,9O0-acre ranch of Fred
Colvin for a term of five years, and
Fred will go to Texas.

at cost, preparatory to taking their
mill plant away from Bucoda.

are running with plenty of orders on
their books.
