TOO WET FOR CROPS.
Weather of Past Week Delays Ma
turing of FaIl-Sown Grain, Al
though Aiding Flowing.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows:
AS a whole the week was very
wet in the districts west of the
Rocky mountains with temperatures
generally above normal, except over
the middle Rocky mountain slope,
where it was moderately COOL
While the excessive rains interrupt
ed farm work and delayed the matur-
ing of late crops, they proved ia
vorable for termination of fall-sown
grain and placed the soil in fine con-
dition for blowing and seeding. No
damage resulted from frosts, which
were confined to the central and
northern Rocky mountain districts
and extreme north Pacific coast re-
gions. The general conditions on the
Pacific coast were favorable, al
though rain is needed in eastern Ore
gon.
The weather has been very unfa-
vorable for ma turing late corn in the
central valleys and lake region, espe
cially over the northern portion of
these districts, and the reports indi-
cate that corn in shock has been con-
siderably damaged by dampness and
mold over a wide area, and that
much of the crop in the upper lake
region and Missouri valley will not
be marketable.
But little, if any, change in the
apple situation is indicated, the crop
being light in the middle Atlantic
states and Ohio valley, with more IA
vorable conditions in the upper lake
region and Missouri valley, fine
yields of good quality being gath
cred in some states.
while blowing for fall seeding is
much behind in portions of the Mis-
souri, valley, this work has made
good progress elsewhere

May Call Extra Session.

Another suggestion is that congress
be convened in extra session to enact
a law on the lines of a bill presented
by Senator Mason providing for the
appointment Of receivers by the fed
eral courts in situations similar to
those confronting the country to-day.
Congress, acting as the representative
of people deprived of their rights,
could relieve the embarrassment Of
the country by enacting a law declar-
ing that the rights, of the people in con-
nection with the necessities of life
were equal to the legal rights of the
owners of the coal mines

Will Try Moral Suasion.

It is said the president also contem-
plates sending letter to the presi-
dents of the coal railways and another
to President Mitchell, of the miners
union, urging them to get together and
reach an adjustment. He will base his
action upon the rights of the public
in the premises. The people must have
coal, or great suffering will follow. The
coal mines are in one sense public utili-
ties, and neither their owners nor the
men who work in them have the right
to withhold their product from the
public. Already the coal railway presi-
dents and President Mitchell have been
advised of the plan of the president
to attempt this moral suasion upon
them. 1t lis not believed that any en-
enlargement has been received from
the railway presidents, who are still
standing out stubbornly. The miners
are ready to submit their case to arbi-
tration or to accept any reasonab BILE
