Summing up the weather conditions
for the week ending September IL,
Section Director Salisbury has this
to say:
The fore part of the week was mod
eately warm and the latter part some
what cool. The temperature for the
week was considerably below the nor
NAL. There were light rains on the
18th and 18th, and the 18th and 18th,
which in the northwest counties were
heavy enough to interrupt threshing
and injure oats in the shock. The
rains were too late to be Of much ben
eft to crops, but pastures were fresh
enel, late root crops improved, and
The soil somewhat softened, thus put
ting it in better condition to prepare
Cor fall sowing. Late potatoes were
somewhat helped by the rain, but in
the drier districts the potato crop
has been lessened by the general
drought. This includes all of the east
ern counties except the irrigated dis
tricts. In the western district the
potato crop is very good in general
although there are some reports Of
blight. The conditions in the south
west counties have greatly improved
over what they were last week. Fruit
in the unirrigated localities of the
eastern districts was also injured by
the dryness and heat.
Grain cutting is now finished. and
threshing is nearly completed. There
is some wheat in the shock in Whit
man county that is yet too wet to
thresh. In that county the wheat
yield is fair, but below expectations.
Barley is about two-thirds of a crop;
wheat three-fourths of a crop, fruit
failure; vegetables about half a
crop. Pastures in Spokane county are
badly dried up. Very little blowing
has yet been done, and no fall wheat
sowing. Corn is partly in the shock
in Klickitat county. The fourth crop
of alfalfa is being cut. The potato
crop is about one-half dug, and is an
average yield.
In the oats district of the western
counties threshing is nearly done. The
crop is below average, but of good
quality, except in some places a slight
amount has been discolorej by being
wet. Plums and pears are a heavy
crop, and prunes are turning out bet
ter than anticipated. In some locali-
ties they are very plentiful Tomatoes
have yielded heavily. The weather
has been somewhat unfavOrable for
hop picking, which is in full progress

lowed for Three Hours.

MUSKEGON, Mich, Sept. 21.-Har-
vey Patterson, Chicago insurance
adjuster, went fishing last night, ana
although fishing for speckled bass,
suddenly found gigantic fish tug
ging at his slender line. Caught by
surprise, Patterson was yanked out of
the boat, but grasped the gunwale as
he plunged into the lake. The fish
towed the boat up and down the six
mile lake for three hours, and Patter-
son was in grave danger of drowning
when Coroner James Balbairnie ar
rived in his launch and rescued him.
The fish weighed forty pounds and was
fifty-two inches long, being the big
gest maskalonge ever caught in these
waters.

in all districts. Reports are con-
fiicting, but the majority report a light
crop. Vermin have done considerable
injury. A good yield is reported in
Pierce and Snohomish counties.
Reports of Correspondents.
SPOKANE -Chattaroy-
Pastures are dried up. Very little
blowing has been done. Fruit is very
scarce and inferior. Late vegetables
are in need of rain. East Spokane
Corn is being cut. Fruit is being
marketed in large quantities. Pota-
toes are being dug. Farmers are
preparing for fall seeding.
PALOUSE COUNTRY-Sun
Weather was favorable for harvesting
until the 18th, when a good rain fell;
one more week will finish threshing in
this locality if weather continues to
be good. Wheat is a fair crop, but is
shriveled some. The crop of oats and
barley is good, but the acreage is
small. Fruit crop is very poor. Gar
dens and potatoes are poor.

A good rain on the 18th cleared the
atmosphere of smoke and dust, after
which good weather prevailed. The
fourth crop of alfalfa is being cut
Corn is partly in the shock, but that
which was planted late is still grow
ing. Potatoes will be an average crop
and are about half dug Prunes and
grapes are being sent to market A

BIG RAILROAD SYSTEMS PRE-
PAIRING TO ENLARGE THEIR
LINES IN COUNTRY.
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Santa Fe May EncircIe Coast
Under One Management.

By Portland men who are close to
New York railroad financiers state
able interest to Portland and the
Oregon country. A local agent Of
eastern railroad capital says the
greatest era of railroad reorganiza-
ton the country has ever seen is be-
ing entered upon and that one of it's
main features will be the consoliia-
ton of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and the Atcnison, Topeka
and Santa Fe, and that these roads
will complete the construction of a
system encircling the Pacific coast,
with a line via Portland, Eureka and
San Francisco, says the Portland
Journal.
AS against this combination nego-
tiations are under way for affiliating
the Southern Pacific and Union Paci-
fic systems with the Rock Island, un-
der the leadership of President Yoak-
UNI of the last named company.
Back of the Hill systems are the
Vanderbilt roads of New York." this
informant says, land supporting the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
combination with the Rock Island is
the Pennsylvania systems. The lineup
will be Hill, backed by the Wander
bilt and Morgan group of financiers,
and on the other side, Yoakum, with
the Cassatt Moore Rockefeller crowd.
The Gould lines will form for a time
an intermediary transcontinental sys-
tenn that will finally be absorbed and
dlsmembered between the Vanderbilt
and Pennsylvania systems. Thus two
great stems out of New York will con-
troll the railroad systems of the Amer
lean continent. The Empire state ex-
press will soon nave change of name
to the Empire Northwest express.
The travelling public will have its
long-awaited railroad facilities from
New York to Portland, Oregon, with
out change of cars, on palace trains
with first-class hotel accommoda-
TONS"
The forming of a loop on the Pa
cine coast for transcontinental train
service will, he says, be the most i'm
portant feature of this plan. It will
bring about immediate completion of
a first-class line of coast railroad oc-
cupylng the natural water grade north
and south between Portland and San
francisco, and obviating the present
expensive system Of operation by
which all traffic is lifted over the
mountain ranges traversed by the
Southern Pacific coast system. Port
land will, he says, be the final Pa
ellie coast terminal of all the great
systems named, and Pacific coast ship
ping here Will be as firmly entrenched
and supreme as it is in the case on
the Clyde, the Thames and at New
York
1t is asserted that recent investiga-
tons and developments in the Oregon
country have finally convinced the
stock and bond holders of the great
railroad systems in America and Eu-
hope that Portland and the Columbia
river basin are the most desirable ter
r1tory for investment and control and
that Portland is to be the capital
of the Pacific empire. Nowhere else
are found commercial resources so
varied and vast and natural condi-
tons so favorable for profitable de-
velopment
