NEW CMURCII ORGANIZED.
The First Presbyterian of FJcnd-
Money For Hulldlnjf.
The First Presbyterian Church of
Hond wan organized last Monday
evening at a meeting held in the
schoolhouse. It starts out with a
uiumbcr.'hip of ten pcrsoiiH. S. II.
Dorrnnce in the elder, the trustees
are A. M. Drake, h. D. Wicst and
Dr. Charles S. Ud wards, and Miss
Marion Wicst is clerk. ' Articles of
incorporation will soon be filed with
the secretary of state and steps
lmve already been taken toward the
construction of a 'church edificcj
Here.
Dr. A. W. Holt, the Presbyter
ian state missionary, held 'meetings
in the schoolhouse Saturday night,
Sunday morning and evening and
Monday evening. He announced
Monday evening that subscriptions
to the amount of $535 had been se
cured for building a IJresbyterian
church at ltcnd. and the local can
vas had not been nearly completed
The understanding upon which
these subscriptions were obtained
was that the new church would le
ppfcu to meetings of all religious
denominations, proiestant or Cath
olic, when not needed by the Pres
byterians. It is also expected that
all rcMdunt church members will
afiiliatc with this Presbyterian
church until such time as their own
churches shall haVe organizations
Here, when clearances from this
Presbyterian church to the other
denominations will be given, as
they may be asked for.
It is not supposed that the official
roster selected Monday night will
be immanent. The names immed
iately available for the panose of
putting the organization completed
were taken. As soon as the ad
justment can be made the organiza
tion will Le broadened by getting a
wider representation of the com
munity tit the Iwurd of trustees.
Since Monday night 50 more
have been subscribed. "Subscrip
tions are not to be paid until work
011 the structure is in progress.
There is assurance that the Prcsby
tcriuu board of missions will sub
scribe hlwrally, but that subscrip
tion always comes Inst and is colt pled
with the condition that the butulhig
be free of debt, etc.
Plenty of Rain.
The thunder storm of. Tuesday
afternoon covered considerable ter
ritory. It reached across the desert
to I'rincvillc and up to the ice caves
and over the Tumcllo valley. Rend
uppears to have been near the storm
center. Everywhere the. storm
cloud was low, for the drops were
' very large and burrowed into the
'ground, leaving the whole country

lightning .struck a pine tree less
than 50 feet away, ripping the bark

smoke. The shock to the men was
considerable but not serious.
After a hot, sultry day Monday
the rain fell in torrents between 6
and 7 o'clock in the evening. The
storm lasted aboilt half an hour or
over, and the thermometer fell 40
degrees in as many minutes. The
oldest inhabitants say that such
rains are very unusual and that

Oregon Crop Conditions.
This week's report of the United
States weather bureau on the crop
conditions in Oregon presents the
following summary, which is far
from being discouraging:
"The weather for the past week
has been excellent for haying and
for maturing grain. Haying has
been pushed in all parts of the
state, and the crop is of-good qual
ity and the yields are generally sat
isfactory, except in the southern
sections, where previous dry weath
er caused some shortage, which
has been made up by cutting grain
for hay; consequently, the farmers
will lmve enough feed lor stock, but
grain yields in this locality will
show a still greater reduction from
former estimates.
"Spring and fall wheat continue
to fill and ripen nicely; the heads
are full and the berry is plump.aud
if it were not for the stand being
thin t'he crop would be U to the
average. Harvesting will Imxoiiic
general this week. OaLs arc tin
usually promising in all sections,
except about Cottage Grove, hi
Lane county, where for some un
known cause a number of ficldti
have topped filling and the plant
has suddenly turned a light color,
"Pull repotts from tho hop sec
tions Indicate a fairly good crop
Which, taking Into Consideration
the increased acreage, will fall but
slightly below that of last year.
There arc many stunted hills, prob
ably caused by frost in March, but
those that came up are in as thrifty
and promising condition as could
be wished for.
"Minor crops, uoh as corn, po
tatoes, onions, sugar, beets and gar
dens, are doing nicely. Pruit also
continues promising, and a large
crop of pears and primes is now al
most n certainty,"
