Grcwlnc Crops. PBNDIETON. Or.. June 23. One hun dred and fifty thousand bushels of wheat were sold here today on the basis of 50 cents for No. 1 Club. In the county no less than 200.000. perhaps 250,000, bushels trere sold, the basis price being the same In all towns. A few of the sales were really on a 53-cent basis, some lots going at 50 cents net, with 2 cents warehouse and insurance charges against it paid by the buyer. The great bulk of the wheat sold will be shipped to Portland, though some will go to Tacoma. Rain fell In torrents this evening, the storm lasting for two hours. It is re garded as inevitable that considerable wheat has been knocked down in the fields and is so heavy and mature It can not rise again. NOT GREATLY INJURED. Crop Situation In Clackamas County Rnin. a Benefit. OREGON CITY, June 23. P. M. Graves, a Molalla farmer, says that Fall wheat is not Injured so much as many growers report; that in many instances the dam age is vastly overestimated. He says that the yellow or reddish color of the stalks is due to the climatic conditions, and that in many fields the wheat is re cuperating from these effects. Of course, there are exceptional fields of grain that are, no doubt, seriously injured, and the crop will be short. All the farmers agree that the late rains have benefited Spring grain, hay, vegetables, etc, and the in dications are that the potato yield will be immense. Farmers who pastured sheep on the grain fields In the early Spring months say that It kept down the growth of weeds, and has benefited the growing wheat. Benton County Grain. CORVAL.L.IS. June 23. There Is much complaint among farmers about -the con dition of growing grain. Fall grain Is said to be more spotted than In many years. Jn some cases where. In the early Spring, the prospect was promising, It Is now said that the yield is not likely to touch 15 bushels, and may drop to 10. The cause assigned by some is rust, by oth ers a worm that works at root and stalk, while still others aver that the trouble Is due to the grain aphis. The preva lence of the Injury Is quite general In this locality. Rain and the Silo. SALEM, June 23. George W. "Weeks, the Howell Prairie dairyman, says that the recent rain did not hurt his hay crop In the least. Instead of curing bis hay crop in the usual way, he puts It In a silo, and it does not make any difference whether the rain wets it or not. In fact, he began mowing his vetches while the rain was falling. He has 0 tons of vetches, and wi!l save it all. rain or ghine. He says that he has filled his sllas while the grass was dripping wet. and can do so any time, if necessary. DamaRe in Wautufrton. County. HIDLSBORO, Or., June 23. The farm ers are taking advantage of the fine weather that prevails, and are endeavor ing to save their hay that has been so thoroughly drenched by the rains for the past week. Hay that was cut before the rains lias been badly blackened, and will only be fit for cattle, while the hay that was standing was beaten down by the heavy showers, and in many instances has commenced to spoil. Sherman County Crops. T(here will be an extra heavy yield of grain in Sherman County this year, and fanmers are beginning -to wonder where their help Is coming from. Laborers can gat all the work they want from, now on, in Sherman County harvest fields, says the Grass "Valley Journal. The rain last Thursday and Friday all over Sherman County enriched every in habitant ?5 to $500 each, says the Moro Observer. Beneficial Rain lit Sherman. "WASCO. Qr.. June 23. The heaviest Summer rain In several years covered Sherman County this afternoon, Insuring the largest wheat crop ever known. The haryest will probably begin about July 5, and harvest hands will be In great de mand. Rain Benefited Crops. JUNCTION CITY. Or., June 23.

SAVE BULL RUN RESERVE FOREST SUPERVISOR DIIFUR MA1CES A GENEROUS OFFER. He "WH1 Personally Pay 130 for Ar rest and Conviction of tke , First Incendiary. DUFUR, Wasco County, Or., June 22. (To the Editor.) Public forest reservatlonr are established to protect and improve tho forests for the purpose of securing a per manent supply of timber for the people and insuring conditions favorable to con tinuous water flow. The act of Congress of February 24, 137, entitled "an act to prevent Jorest fires en the public domain provides, "Section 1. That any person who shall willfully or maliciously set on fire, or cause to be set on fire, any timber, underbrush, i or grass, upon the pubb domain, or shall carelessly or negligently leave or suffer firo to burn unattended mar any timber or other inflammable material, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof In any District Court of the United States, having Juris diction of the same, shall be fined in sum not more than $5000. or be Impris oned for a term of not moro than two years, or both. "Sec 2. That any person who shall build a campfire. or other fire. In or near any forest, timber, or other Inflammable material upon ihe public domain, shall, before breaking camp or leaving said fire, totally extinguish the same. Any person falling to do so .shall oe deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof In any District Court of the United States having Jurisdiction of the same, shall be fined in a sum not more than $1000, or be Imprisoned for a term of not more than one year, or bcth. "Sec. 3. That In all cases arising under this act the fines collected shall be paid into the public school fund of the county In which the lands where the of fense was committed are situate." I am, and during the last two years have been, tho Forest Supervisor In charge of the Bull Run reserve, and the northern dis trict of the Cascade reserve, and havo learned from experience that much moro Information concerning persons guilty oi starting or causing the spread of forest fires In the reserves can be obtained if rewards are paid to the informers. There fore, concerning " fires which may occur in the territory under my supervision dur ing the Summer of 1SO0, I hereby agree to pay for information sufficient for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons violating the first section of the above law one reward of $103; and concern ing the violation of the second section one reward of $30. Each reward to be paid as on as the first conviction under each section has been secured, and then this offer ceases. Tho rewards will not be paid from Gov ernment funds, but from my own personal means, and I will gladly make the pay ments, because It Is my firm belief that the destruction of the forests will stop as soon as there are 013 or two convic tions for willfully or carelessly causing fires. T BesWes the foregoing FedtToi law to pre vent forest flres on the public domain, there Is a state law for preventing forest flres on Goernment stale or private lands, and fines and penalties are pro vided for tuny peram who wlHfully or care lessly sets fire to any forest not his own without thef consent of the owner. One half the fine to bo paid to the Informer and the other to the school fund. The state wardens may arrest without wax rant any person violating any of the pro visions of the state fire law: The Federal forest rangers are also appointed state wardens by permission of tle Secretary of the Interior. Many persons camp in the mountains and forests of Oregon during the Summer, and It Is very Important that tlrey should bo Informed of these laws In order that they may know the necessity of being very careful with their fires. Believing that the preservation of th forests Is a matter in which even- one should be detply Interested, I tako the noerty of asking 50U to publish this com munication. W. H. IL DUFUR.
