Following is the crop report fur.

No rain has fallen in the eastern or
western portion of the State since the

moisture are drying up. Streams and
wells are getting low. and the roads
are exceedingly dusty. The weather
has been generally clear and warm
with more or less smoke, although it
was ideal weather for hop. picking and
harvesting oat and late wheat crops
which are now practically finished.
Threshing and hauling wheat to ware.
houses is rapidly progressing. Some
blowing is being done and seeding OF
winter wheat, but it is too dry for the
work to proceed in general. The corn
crop in Klickitat county is reported
good, ripe, and being hauled in.
Potato digging is progressing; the
crop is reported light; quality ex-
cellent. The apple crop yield will be
large. Fall picking has commenced.
The fruit is small in size and is be.
ginning to drop which is owing to the
drouth. Pears will be an average
crop. Plums, apricots and prunes in
most places are reported as failures.
Rain is very much needed to revive
the pastures and to put the ground in
condition for general farm work, also
to extinguish the forest fires and lay

ii you want to see artstically ar
ranged windows, look at Mottman's
this week. The one on the corner is
devoted to ladies' dress goods and the
artistic taste displayed in draping the
seasonable fabrics bring out their
beauties in their grandest perfection.
But the north window, devoted ex
clusively to a display OF shoes. is still
more to be admired Tor the elaborate
exhibit of the immense stock and
variety carried by the firm. There is
everything in women's and childrens
wear from the tiny bunch of kid and
velvet for the baby to the infinite var
iety of serviceable and dress shoes for
misses and matrons. Then a back
ground of Autographs Of lovely men
and brave women is arranged by which
they really appear to be admiring the
profuse display before them. The
exhibit was made by Mr.. w. II. Britt,
who is the ego of the establishment
during Mr.. Mottman's absence, who
by the way, is expected home about

The address OF State Horticultural
Commissioner, A. Won Holderbeke.
Monday afternoon, at the court house,
was well attended considering the
short notice and the day. which was
too early in the week for our farming
people. The Commissioner is emf
nently practical in his methods OF in.
struction and seems to be fully identi-
fled with his work in spirit and act.
He gave some excellent advice regard
ing the preparation of a fruit and
vegetable exhibit at the Lewis and
Clark Fair next year. He advises
exhibition of the following varieties OF
apples: Alexander, Wolf River, Grav-
enstein, Gloria Mundi and Wealthy.
Good specimens of these or any other
superior fruit will be prepared for
exhibition on the Sth prox. when he
will visit our people TO instruct them
in that art as we'll as to lecture in the
afternoon. when his subject will be
/" Picking of Winter Apples, and the
Winter Care of Fruit Trees" The
thanks of the Society were extended
the Commissioner for his discourse by
a rising vote.

CULLINGS FROM OYSTER BAY
BY a Regular Correspondent.


Mrs. Alex Wright, of Olympia, is
on visit to friends here.
The Oyster Bay people have for the
past ten years been almost entirely
Tree from thieves, but all at once, it
seems as il person cannot lay tool
down or 60 out of sight of it, and find
it when they get back to their work.
One man lost $50 steel block and
$35 worth of rope, another had a
boiler and bench-screw taken out OF
his woodshed. An anchor belonging to
an oyster company that had been left
out on the tide-hat to tie scow to, an
old moving machine, was sold and
when it was taken the drum to a
stump-puller that had never been
used more than three months was
cOniscated by accident. l will say,
until the junk peddlers became so
numerous, we could leave our tools
where we were at work for months
at time and they were safe. We
have had Indians, Chinese and Japs
on the bay, and it was the Same. l
don't believe all junk buyers are dis.
honest. but when they come with
boats, as we'll as wagons, and pick up
old iron within few feet of your house
without leave and SO many things oil
iron are missing, it points directly.
Who is it? We are all watching the
barn-dOor since the horse is stolen. But
it's so easy to plead "mistaken iden
tity" when caught, it looks as if we
were to have no redress. l think the
farmer stands but little show among
our town lawyers and justices. Is il
too near election for our county of.
ficers to do their duty, or have we men
that have held Office so long they have
got sleepy?

REV. MRS. LAKE SPEAKS.
She Delivered an Interesting and instructive Ser
mon in the Theater, Sunday.

She Delivered an Interesting and instructive Ser.
mon in the Theater. Sunday.
The address of Mrs. Lake, Sunday
afternoon, at the theater, was an able
and logical presentation of subjects
OF thought on the great and myster-
ious problem of Life. Her text was
"God Said" and from it she evolved
very rational and satisfactory con-
nection between divine law and NOR
tai consciousness as exhibited through
the innumerable evidences of intelli-
gent control by natural force and the
spiritual inclinations of Earth-life,
through the senses, commonly called
conscience. Although the speaker had
religio philosophic terms to express
her meaning, this was what she doubt.
less meant by soul communion with
God. 1t may be convenient and ad-
visable for the professor of a religious
cult to coin and use technical phrases,
covering shades OF meaning in express
sion OF the attributes of the soul and
psychic conditions, but the nearer
teachers come to use OF common words
and terms the sooner they will catch
and fix the attention of those who are
anxious to discover the truth if it can
be made plain by the word-method of
arousing conception. Mrs. Lakes def
finition of the terms used by her were
so plain that she very materially
bridged this chasm, and her admirable
presentation of tenable premises upon
which to base her conclusions, very
materially aided her pupils in taking
their first lesson in occult science ap.
piled to the most important study OF
Earth-lfe.
Mrs. Lake will deliver another ad-
dress in Parlor B, Hotel Olympia, on
a week from next Sunday, Oct. I'd, at
4P.M. She breaches in Tacoma next
Sunday.

The reason given by Oar. F. Reese
Tor the sale of American products
abroad for less than the price at home,
Is that the shrewd Americans are
working off old shop-worn goods on
the poor foreigners. Such an argu-
ment may do in the East, or as far
west as Minnesota, but in the Far
West, such fallacy is received with a
smile OF derision.

l want to say a word to the young men
whose political life is beginning:
Anyone entering business would be
glad of the chance to become one of an
esta blished firm with years Of success
behind it.
Everything great done by this country
in the last fifty years has been done
under the auspices of the Republican
party. Is not this a priceless asset?
Lincoln and Grant, Hayes and Gar
field. Harrison and McKinley-names Sc
cure in the heaven of fame--they are all
gone, leaving small estates in worldly
goods, but what vast possessions in prin-
ciples, memories, sacred associations! 1t
is a start in life to share that wealth.
In our form of government there must
be two parties.
But what young man would not rather
belong to the party that does things,
instead Of one that oppose them; to the
party that ook up, rather than down; to
the party Of the dawn, rather than of the
sunset?
For fifty years the Republican party
has believed in the country and la bored
for it in hope and joy;
Has r%everenced the flag and fol-
lowed it;
Has carried it under strange skies and
planted it on far-receding horizons;
Has seen the nation grow greater
every year and more respected;
Has seen the country extend its inter
course and it's influence to regions un-
known to our fathers;
Yet it has never abated one jot or little
of the ancient law imposed on us by God
fearing ancestors. The Constitution Of
our fathers has been the light to our
feet. Our path is, and will ever remain.
that of ordered progress, of liberty under
the law.
But we are not daunted by progress.
We are not afraid Of the Light!
The fabric our fathers builded will
stand all shocks OF fate or fortune.
While there will always be a proud
pleasure in looking pack on the history
they nave made, the coming generation
has the right to anticipate work not less
important.
We who are passing off the stage bid
you, as the children Of Israel encamping
by the sea were hidden, to go forward.
We whose hands can no longer hold the
flaming torch pass it on to you, that
its clear light may show the truth to
the ages that are to come.
JOHN HAY.
