HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON MARION COUNTV CROPS. Warm Rain Needed, Otherwise the Out look la Very Favorable. , Crops in Marlon county are In good condition as a genera) thing, and there i nothing yet to ditcourago the farmer. It would to better for every thing, how over, should thero bo a heavy, warm rain, which would havo a two-fold ben eficial effect It would etipplv the ne cessary moisture now demanded in many place, and it would bring tho snow out of tlio Cascades, thus insur ing warm spring weather, which it is proverbial cannot 1m had until Tablo Rock and the lower ridges of the moun tains nro bare of their white tost. Fruit I coming on in good shape, the load of bloiwms indicating a plentiful crop, but it Is too early to feel safo yot. Thu weathor most dangerous to fruit in this country la that which brings the cold, beating, sleety rains late in April, when the pollen Is in the blossom, to bo washed rut by thoie rains, leaving thu blossom lifeless for frultmaklng purposes. Thore is always a good crop of fruit when that clan of rains comes before the blossoming I far nd van rod or when tho warm spring arrives with out much rain at all. Thu hop crop is at that point where thero I merely speculation a to the ro suits. As usual, much is heard of mis sine hills, damaged vines, and a heavy shorlago In prospect for this year, but past experience lis shown that In many rears when similar predictions were mado, the yield turnod out reasonably good. Sheep Shearing In Umatilla. Twenty sheep shmrers hao , arrived In Umatilla county from different parts of tho country, nd will comrnoco work at once. This number will bo consid erably Increased within a week or ten days, a three crew are employed in tho section around Pilot Hock during the shearing season, which lasts about 00 days. Usually there aro about 12 men to a crew. These men are paid 7 and H- cents a head for shearing stock sheep nnd 15 a id 25 cents forpuro-brod owes and buck. Home of the men average 110 per day. Sheep will not bo sent to the mountains as early this year a last, as thero is no scarcity of feed, Ilulldlng at Reform School. Plan are noaily completu for tho now industrial schcot building which ia to bo erected at the state reform school at a cost of from $12,000 to $15,000. The plans will bo submitted to the board of trustee by Architect O. O. UiwIm, of Portland, tho first of next week, and tho board will immediately advertiso for bids. Snow Deep In Cascade. It. N. Hoover, tho well-known shin gle manufacturer of Detroit, says that snow in the Cascado mountains la deep er now than It ha been beforo nt this season in tho pair-eight yoars. Bhonld the weather turn warm suddenly so as to mvlt the snow rapidly, he believes the Willamette river will be high this )oar. Denied a Fr-inchlse. Tlio Ilakot City council has refused to grant a franchise to the Oregon Ida ho Central railroad company for a right ot way and terminal facilities to ontor that city. This ia tlio proposed Bovon Devils road, a company for the construction of which was orgaulzod last fall. At the Psnltentiary, Superintendent O. W. James, of tho Oregon State Penitentiary, has tiled his tlrst roport with tho Secretary ot Statu, for tho quarter ending March 31, 1003. Tho earnings nnd receipts ot tho prison lor tno quarter aggregates a total ot $4,435.11, and tho expenses $7,003,32. Crook County Judge Resign. County Judgo W. A. Booth, ot Crook county, has tendered hia resig nation to Uovornor (Jliamoorlatn. Tho resignation is to take effect May 1. Judgo Booth gave no reason for his do Biro to relinquish tho office. No Hop Peata In Polk. Examination has boon mado ot Hum orous yards in Polk county and they all show n healthy growth, with no posts on tho vines. Tho cold weather has not put yards back in that county. FLOCK TO LAKO COUNTV. Large Number of Men Waiting for Snow to Melt In Order to Locate. Timber men contlnuo to arrive at Lakevlow by overy stagoandfiom evory direction, nnd tho Lakovlow land office is working to its lull capacity. Several locators with scrip are waiting for tho snow to disappear, so thoy can get Into the timber. Sliver Lake promises to be the tlm bor cruiser' headquarter this year, arid with it two newspaper is expected to wieid considerable influence In the affairs of Lake county in the fnture. The extension of the railroad from 8hanlkoto Deschutes promises to divert all the trade north of Uoosn Lake Val ley from Fan Francisco to Portland, and give passengers a shorter and better route via stago to tho railroad, as there is a good road at nil soasons of tho year from Lakovlow to the Des chutes, and no mountains to cross. The season Is very backward. No gras ha yet started and sheepmen aro anxious, a tho lambing ooason Is at hand, and thore is no grass, and nights am very cold. Heavy losses have boon sustained in the last two weeks, and if tlio weather doe not got warmer in n few days, tho losses will be heavier than ever beforo. A few sheepmen have cominonccd shearing wether, but many fear to at tempt it yet, although it is far past the usual time to begin. Hanging of Armstrong. An examination of the law governing the execution of death sentences, which was pased by thn last legislature, re veals the fact that Armstrong, the mur derer of Minnie Knsmlnger, at IUker City, will have to bo executed lu that city, if the supremo court conOtms tho judgment of tho lower court, when the caso comes up on appeal in May. If the sentence of the court is carried out it will bo the first legal execution in the history of Baker county, since it was organized, over 40 years ago. In tlio early days thero was a lynching at Auburn, then tho county ecat, on which occasion a Chinaman was hung for murder. Some Prison Improvement. Fuperintendent James, of tho ilata penitentiary, Is making a number of improvements intended to lietter the condition of the prison and niako it moru secure. Probably no changes will bo mado in the construction of tho pris on wall, but it will bo more thoroughly guarded so as to prevent the Introduc tion of woapons by that means. The number of dy guards on tho wall has recently been reduced by tho transfer of cno guard to the shops. PORTLAND MARKETS. WhH Walla Walla. 70071c; blue, stem, 75(38c; valloy, 75Q76c.
