WHEAT VERY SLOW.
GROWTH PREVENTED BY COLD
WINDS AND RAINS.
Past Week Unusually Cold and Wheat
Is Not Advancing No Serious
Loss Is Reported.

The following is the report on Eastern
Oregon counties Of the U. S. department
Of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin
Of the weather bureau, Oregon section,
for the week ending Monday, April ID;
The past week has been unseasonably
cool, with frequent rains and some fur
ries of snow Sharp frosts occurred on
several mornings, and in some localities
thin ice formed. Considerable plowing
and seeding was done in the Columbia
river valley, and in other portions OF
Southern Oregon, but in the Willamette
valley and the coast counties but little
outside work was accomplished owing to
the wet weather. Work on summer fall
low continues, and in Southern Oregon
the ground is being prepared for corn.
Fall and spring g-sown grain have made
little advancement. The rains started
grass and pasturage, and the condition
of stock is somewhat improved. Work
in the hop yards continues; the vines are
growing nicely and have u healthy ap-
pearance.
Early planted gardens are making
slow growth. The cold weather checked
the development of fruit buds, and with
the possible exception of early peaches,
the frosts have done little or no damage.
Douglas, Morrow county, H. w.
CRADLE Cloudy, cool and windy. Crop
condition favorable. Spring wheat all
sown. Summer fallow being worked.
Fruit trees in bloom, but held back by
cool weather.
Adams, Umatilla county, G. s. Fergu-
son. Extremely cold, with snow and
cold winds Crops making very slow
growth. Wheat generally has good
stand, but is very backward. Pastures
short. Gardens backward.
La Grande, Union county, W. f.
Gekeler. Weather unfavorable for
growth. Cold, windy and freezing.
Fruit trees very backward, nothing in
bloom yet. Ground plows up nice and
mellow on account Of the hard freezes
during winter.
Baker City, Baker county, W. G..
McGuiness. Spring unusually back
ward. Some plowing being done, but
with difficulty, as the ground is partially
frozen. Grass coming up, but not suf-
ficiently to afford pasturage.

danger Of Colds and Grip.

The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
II reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for these diseases we have yet to
learn Of single case having resulted in
pneumonia, which shows conclusively
that it is certain preventative of that
dangerous disease, 1t will cure cold
or an attack of the grip in less time
than any other treatment. 1t is pleasant
and safe to take, For sale by G. G.

WILL BUY RIGHTS
GOVERNMENT READY TO PAY
REASONABLE PRICE.
Newell Instructs Engineers on Butter
Creek Proposition Hold-up Prices
Will Cause Abandonment.

PHOTOGRAPHER Newell, of the geogo-
logical survey, has directed his field
engineers, who are examining the
withdrawn lands in Umatilla and Nor
row counties, in the Butter creek coun-
try, to give special attention to all claims
Of individuals or companies who own or
claim to own prior canal rights in that
vicinity, and to determine whether or
not these rights, if they exist, will inter-
fere with government reclamation. II
the project, as a whole, proves to be
practical and only these private inter-
ests stand in the way, Mr.. Newell says
the government will be willing to pay
the owners fair price for their proper
ty, but if exorbitant prices are asked the
government will abandon the project
altogether and look elsewhere for site
for government irrigation system, as 1t
has nothing to lose save the time spent
in investigation. There is willingness
to pay fair price for any private prop
erty that may be absorbed or utilized by
the government in its irrigation works,
but there are so many available sites
and 50 many meritorious and attractive
projects awaiting attention in various
states that no work will be undertaken
where attempts are made to hold up the
government.
The engineers have discovered ID the
short time they have been on Butter
creek that the irrigation works attempt
ed in that vicinity years ago by private
capital were not practical Their pro-
moters contemplated taking the water
from the Umatilla river and distributing
it over the low lands, but no provisions
was made for storage reservoirs. Inas-
much as the water level in that stream
is exceedingly low in the summer months
when the water is necessary for irriga-
ton purposes, their scheme would never
have profited anything.
The scheme roughly outlined by the
geological survey contemplates the con-
struction of storage reservoirs for i'm
pounding the flood water of Umatilla
river and number of smaller streams
in that locality, and holding it in reserve
until the summer, when it can be dis
tributed as needed. II the investigation
and surveys now in progress on Butter
creek are satisfactory, and the project is
eventually approved, clear of all OBJ
stacles, there is money enough IN the
reclamation fund, says Mr.. Newell, to
warrant the prompt letting Of contracts
Mr.. Newell says that because of the
controversy over the water right on the
Silvies river, in Harney county, the
government engineers will probably pass
over the project for the present, at least.
Private capital seems to be doing all
that can be expected, in view of the di-
versifed claims as to riparian and canal
rights.

DEMAND IN ORIENT.
Consumption OF American Goods Of all
Kinds Rapidly Increasing.

Kinds Rapidly Increasing.
Allan Cameron, the Oriental agent Of
the O. r. & N. company, with head
quarters at Hong Kong, China, in re-
cent interview, said:
American goods of all kinds are rap
idly increasing in consumption in China,
Japan, India, Siam and the Philippines.
Cotton goods, bicycles, canned goods,
steel of all kinds, -four and machinery,
including locomotives for interior rail-
roads, electrical appliances, are coming
over there by the ship load. The roads
in China and Japan are the very finest
hard finished macadam and are
kept in splendid condition the year
around. AS they use no vehicles or
horses in those countries to speak Of, it
is easy to keep the roads in fine shape
Cinnamon and Japs have learned the use
OF the bike, which has to a large extent
taken the place of rickshaws, hand carts
and coolie carrying poles. Transports
tion in these countries is principally
done on the backs of coolies, who are
paid about four cents day in Mexican
money. When they want to load ship
with merchandise, the goods are packed
from the warehouse on the backs of a
line of coolies, which circles between the
warehouse and ship like an endless
chain and every time man passes the
tally man he receives his cash, which he
tucks in his blouse. This cash Is about
the tenth Of Mexican cent All money
values and exchange there are based on
Mexican silver. Gold is unknown"

The Preacher wife.

The real courageous soul oftimes is
found, not SO much in the pastor as in
his wife. She manages, scrimps, and
works hard enough to wear out half
dozen strong women, rears family OF
half dozen, managing to keep them all
clothed and in school, and with leading
part in four church societies, teaching
Sabbath school, experimenting league
and doing her own cooking and washing
she puts to shame the hardest working
woman Of the entire congregation. For
this she gets but little praise, and the
Lord knows how much blame.
