The weather during the past week
was favorable for the growth of field
crops. Good rains fell east of the Cas-
cade mountains on Tuesday and Wed
nesday, but in the western portion of
the state the rainfall was very light
and occurred at widely scattered
places, and more rain is needed, in
this section. AS a rule, the weather
was too cool for rapid growth, and
few warm, sunshiny days would be
very beneficial to all vegetation.
The condition of the grain crop,
both fall and spring sown, continues
excellent. Fall wheat is turning yell
low in some localities, but this is con-
fined mostly to that sown on low land.
Oats, rye and barley continue to head
satisfactorily Hops in the old yards
have come up unevenly and there are
complaints of many missing hills. In
the new yards, where properly culti-
waited. the condition of the crop ap-
pears to be more promising. Reports,
however, as to the general condition
of the hop crop are conflicting, vary
ing from excellent to good. There is
an absence of vermin, except posi-
bly, in a few places along the river
bottoms, where the vines were shaded
by tall timber.
Gardens, potatoes and corn, while
growing slowly, are generally in ex-
cellent condition. Corn has come up
well, and in Southern oregon cultivat-
ing has begun. Grass, clover, vetch
and pastures are growing rapidly.
Prunes, peaches, early cherries and
gooseberries were mostly killed by the
frosts, but pears, late cherries, cur
rants and some varieties of early ap-
pies promise fairly good yields. Straw
berries appear to have escaped injury
by frost in some sections, while ir
Others the crop was quite badly dam

Philadelphia, Pa, May 10.-The Rt.
Rev. OH William Whitaker, bishop of

action for the removal of Justice Hooker" said
Senator SAKE 'tis that I am convinced that the
legislature has right to take any such action
It would be encroachng on the rights of a CO.

legislature decides on the qualifications of its
own members. The judiciary should have the
same power. I will vote to the end against
