THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1910. " OREOOX WEATHER 4- Fair and gentle northwester- .A. 1w mlnrta , THKX AM) NOW The AtlanUo fleet on . its fa mous cruise around the world in 1J08 was ill days, 7 hours en route from Hampton Roads, Va.. to San Francisco. ,The new Pacific fleet now en route from Hampton Roads ia scheduled to arrive at San Fran cisco In 27 days from the date of ailing. This ia one of the interest ing comparisons of the two fleets which have been made. The Atlantic fleet went around Cape Horn. The Pacific fleet comes through the Panama canal, not com pleted when the Atlantic fleet made its cruise. The 'actual sailing time for the At lantic fleet was 61 days 19 hours. The Pacific fleet la expected to make the trip to San iFranclsco in about 18 or 19 days actual sailing time. In 190S the American nary had no airplanes or seaplanes. It had few destroyers and less submarines. The Atlantic fleet comprised 16 battleships with a' flotilla of torpedo boats. The new Pacific fleet ap proximates 196 vessels of all classes, When Admiral Evans led his fleet In parade in San Francisco in "May, 1908, his flagship led but 42 vessels of all descriptions. President Wil son is scheduled to review a Pacific fleet of more than 150 vessels at Frisco in September of this year. The old Atlantic fleet carried 1 4, 000 men. The Pacific fleet will bring 25,000. The Atlantic fleet was valued at approximately $100, 000,000. The iPaciflc fleet represents expenditures of several times that amount.

Harvest of winter wheat continues throughout Oregon with results varying from almost absolute failure to the best on record. However, in the principal wheat growing counties the yield is generally as good as was expected, according to the weekly weather and crop report of the weather bureau here. High temperature prevailed at the first of last week but there was a change to cooler about the middle of the week, the temperature in some localities falling almost to freezing. The temperature toward the close of the week was ajjain above normal. A large number of thunderstorms oc curred In varioqs parts of Oregon but the amount of rainfall generally was too small to 'be of benefit to crops, to quench forest fires or to seriously delay farm work. Many forest fires were stalled by lightning. Water for irrigation Is becoming scarce in many localities. Harvest ot spring wheat and oats is progressing except In the more elevated districts. The crop Is light excepting the 'western counties and where irrigated. Irrigated corn is good: tinlrrigated corn needs rain, but except over limited areas has not been Injured by drouth. Ears are forming in Josephine and Mal heur counties. Apricots still are in the market. Peaches and early apples are being marketed in increasing quantities. Picking of raspberries and loganber ries is approaching completion In most sections and picking of black berries is in full -progress. Ever green blackberries are ripening. Haying is generally complete ex cept for the late cutting of alfalfa and clover. Where not Irrigated these crops need rain. The serond aiid third crops of alfalfa will be short In some places, owing to soar city of Irrigation water. The third crop of alfalfa is approaching matur ity In parts of Umatilla' county. Pas tures and ranges are very dry except In the higher mountins but there is little complaint of shortage of feed and stock is generally In fair to good condition. Potatoes and all unlrrigated gar den vegetables" need rain. Some early potatoes suffered from blight. The market is fairly well supplied with potatoes and vegetables. Hops are doing well.

Using the entire carcass of a! horwe for bait, a Honolulu sportsman went fishing recently In a power boat and returned with a fifth weighing 2500 pounds and measuring almost 1 20 feet from tip to tip, the largest shark killed in Hawaiian water for many years. Shark flHhing, or rather huuting. as it Is conducted in Hawaii Is a thrilling sKrt. not entirely lacking in danger to the hunter. In fart a death battle with a harpooned shark according to big game hunters. Is about as safe as a midnight combat with a hungry tiger. Sharks,-in their death throes, have been known to attack the boat and with their pow erful rows of serrated teeth rip great se-ctlons from the sides. The shark hunter first obtains a dead horse, and if It has been dead a week so touch the better. The power boat tows the carcass outside the harbor and the hunt -is on. Sharks attracted by the odor of the bait, gather In large numbers and soon begin striking at the carcass, rip ping huge chunks of flesh from it. At this stage the hunter endeavors to work his boat near enough to per mit a' shot .with the harpoon. Once securely harpooned a big shark will fight for hours before succumbing.

PEAR BLIGHT APPEARS IN WILLAMETTE VALLEY Albany, Ore., July 31. Kire Might, the fruit disease that wiped the pear industry out of southern ami eastern states and baffled Kogue and I'mixiua valley horticulturists for three years, Is making another start in the orchards of Linn, Denton and .Marlon counties. Fire blight Is bacterial and the lit tle bugs work on the limb, get Into the sap tmd cause the leave to up peur us If they hnd boon scorched by Names. The leaves hang in tholr normal position, however, ,und do not fall on when smitten. E. C. Robert, who has been over the county recently, reports that In several fruit sections the bliwht Is making itself obnoxious and several orchardlsts are advocating the ap pointment of a fruit inspector for Linn during the next few months to combat the dread fire blight. The county court has the matter under advisement. WOMIVS l'SK am izks tiiavrs pass A business man's wife could not sow or read without sharp pains In her eyes. For years her eyes were red and weak.
