ring weighing between 1875 and 200
pounds. OF the heavyweight cham
pionship which Marvin Hart now
claims, Rubin said:
Il have been after Hart for over a
year, but the Kentuckian does not
want any of my game since the beating
months ago. My coming fight with
Mccormick, while it is not being ad-
vertised as a championship battle, will
come nearer being one than was that
between Hart and Root, as have met
the best neavyweights in the business
and have been beaten by them only.
while Hart has lost fights to men who
did not class with the topnotchers.
If Marvin so desires, he can get my
game any old time. and for a good
sized bet to make it interesting

ARMY WORM DOING DAMAGE
CROPS ON PUGET SOUND HAVE
BEEN ATTACKED BY THE
INSECT.
Weather Has Been Favorable for
Crops in Genersi-Harvesting
Will Soon Be On.

In summing up the crop condition:
for the week ending July II, Director
Salisbury of the weather bureau ha:
this to say:
The week was much cooler than the
preceding one and the latter part was
showery, especially in the western
counties.
The fore part of the week was fine
for haying, but the remainder of the
week was poor, considerable hay was
damaged, and some completely spoiled
The weather was favorable for
crops in general. Pastures continue
good The rains benefited late oats
potatoes and garden vegetables. Corn
is growing rapidly and promises to be
a good crop. The late cherry crop is
better than the early ones were, but
some have cracked from the effect of
the rain. Plums, peaches, and april
cots are ripening Lice have appeared
on hops, but they are we'll sprayed.
There are reports that an insect, called
by some the army worm, and by 9TH
ers cut-form, is doing damage in
some localities. It is thought that this
may be the 'peridromia saucia,'' or
variegated cut-worm, that created
such havoc with vegetation in the
Puget Sound country in July, 1900.
The hot spell of the preceding week
came opportunity to a close on the
10th, before any considerable amount
of injury had been done to grain. The
greater part Of the wheat crop is in
the filling stage, and the weather of
the past week could hardly have been
better for wheat filling. Rust, how
ever is increasing in some localities.
Winter wheat and barley are ripening
rapidly, and cutting has begun in some
southern districts. Winter wheat cut
ting will be general in another week.
The outlook continues very favorable
for a heavy crop of oats, wheat and
barley

Mexico and the United States

Some striking evidences of the re-
gard with which Mexico is held in the
United States have been furnished
this year. Mexico has just fioated a
loan for $40,OOO,OOO in this country
which was the first ever negotiated
by that country in which no security
through lien on the customs or
otherwise was asked for. Mexico's
credit is thus seen to be as high &c
that of any of the other great conn.
tries. Our trade with Mexico both
imports and exports, is steadily gain.
