It Is doubtful if there has ever been a time in the history of Umatilla coun ty when the crop outlook was as bright at . this season of the year as it is at the present time. According to reports from every section of the county the general conditions could not be improved upon and the excep tions are so few as to be 'insignificant and not worth considering. There may have been seasons in which the fall-sown grain was more free from weeds and where the stands were heavier but" it is not believed that there ever has been a year in which both fall and spring-sown grain so universally gave promise of an - abundant harvest. The weedy fields and those with thin stands are said to have been those which were sowed after the cold rains and which in the language of the farmer were "mudded In." Those who seed ed their fields before the first hard1 rains came, also have some weeds to contend with but those who gave the weeds a chance to start before putting their seed in the ground and thereby destroyed the weeds that had started, report the cleanest wheat they have ever grown. The 'Helix country, one of the ban ner wheat sections of the county is said to be remarkably free of weeds and Judging from the reports receiv ed H is believed that the number of weedy fields is comparatively small. But it Is the spring-sown grain that Is so much better than usual. This Is due to the Ideal weather conditions which have prevailed since the ..last of February. There has been plenty of sunshine and at the same time there has been an abundance of mois ture. Showers have come whenever needed and at the present time the ex cess precipitation is nearly three Clear as Day will be your comment when first you look through a pair of properly fitted glasses. GLASSES Perhaps it has never occurred to you that a defect of sight la not as a rule a disease of the eye. Often It is a condition which properly fitted lenses will en tirely relieve.

The , total rainfall for the present wet season, 14 Inches, Is equal to the normal amount for the entire 12 months. - According to stockmen there has never been a time within the memory of the white man when the range conditions In the mountains and the foothills were so good as at present. They say they never have seen such grass as is now to be found and with showers coming every few days the grass will undoubtedly stay good for several weeks to come, In (he foot hills and it will be good all summer in the mountains. Last season the summer range was considered the best it had been in many years but it Is said that the con ditions this year are so far ahead of last year that there is no comparison. The good grass conditions are not due altogether to the spring rains, for the snow which came early and staid late not only furnished an abundance of moisture but it also supplied a covering which protected the grass from the frosts and enabled It to get a good start before the snow disap peared. .

The communication sets forth that the empress Intends to remember the faithful soldiers of the Emperor Na poleon III. There will be only one condition attached to her majesty's generosity, it Is thus set forth. "As her majesty admits thai every old soldier of the empire has remain ed faithful to the sacred cause, to the Imperial eagles, it is necessary, so that her majesty may be assured of a devotion of which She, or rather the legitimate heir to the throne, will per haps have need sooner than one thinks, that she receives from you a letter In which she will find the ex pression of your unshakeable devotion to the memory of Napoleon III, and to (the imperial cause, as well as the expression of your mistrust of the present regime." Mr. U'Ren has acted wisely in with drawing two of his proposed consti tutional amendments. Some of his other propositions would be better sidetracked also. Official Weather Report.
