Kiel, Jane 19. There was a heavy

arches, and with greeting to the em

principal hotels, to guard the imperial
guests. , Naturally the chief center of at

sand spectators. Tnose of , the United
States, Great Britain, Italy and Austria,
were especially admired. -At 6. a. m.
the war vessels of 14 nations were repre
sented and hoisted their flags to strains
of anthems of their respective countries.

curred on the Mars and concluded with

who subsequently, accompanied by his
commanders, visited the foreign squad
ron, and - many officers of various
nations started for Hamburg to meet the
emperor. -

A Pnblie Park.
To the Editor: A public park for
The Dalles is something all should con
sider and in thinking and talking of im
provements of various kinds, let us not
neglect to provide a breathing place for
the population occupying the homes in
our city. When this, our fair city, shall
have grown to 20,000 and all these streets
below the. bluff will have become busi
ness blocks and warehouses, and 'that
part of the city now an the hill will have
been more compact, then the necessity
for a public park will be so apparent
that thousands of dollars will have to be
expended in 'providing for the wants of
the people. But why not now, when the
land iB comparatively cheap, provide for
this time that will surely come? and in
providing for the generation to come,
have the pleasure and enjoyment of the
outlay ourselves, and then the thanks of
the generations that shall come after ns,
when we are gone.
What a pleasant gathering place it
would be in times of large conventions.
Here open air meetings of all kinds
might be held and the citizens gathered
in the park could be entertained, by the
music. Fourth of July celebrations
could here be given with safety, which
when all this land is covered with build
ings, will not be permitted in the streets
as now. Let The Dalles take warning
by Eastern cities, who have failed to
provide for this need of the people, and
after years of privation have been com
pelled to purchase land at immense cost
to provide this necessity.
If others have thoughts and sugges
tions on this subject,' let us have them.

SCRAMBLING FOB TICKETS.
Scenes In Salt Lake the Opening ' Klght
of the Circus.
The Next Great Syndicate Shows and
Paris Hippodrome, which exhibits in
The Dalles, Saturday July 6, is beyond
dqubt one of the very best as well as the
largest traveling.
In referring to the show.the Salt Lake
News has the following to say :
"The gigantic tent at Central Park
could not contain half the number who
sought admittance to the ''New Great
Syndicate Shows last night, and' thou
sands were turned away. The streets
were packed with people. ' Not only
were the sidewalks crowded, but even
the roadway was almost impassable, and
the street-cars had difficulty in forcing a
passage. .
"It did not look like hard times to see
the struggling crowds scrambling for
the ticket office, and when the bell
finally rang up the entrance of the
equestrian tournament, there was tier
upon tier of spectators, with as many
more satisfied with standing-room. The
spectators . were magnificently enter
tained from the beginning to the end of
the programme. Everyone wore a
broad grin for two hours, and then went
home still smiling.
Word From Mr. Sargent.
The editor received a personal letter
from his valued friend, Mr. I. N. Sar
gent, now traveling ' in the East, which
tells of the safe arrival of Mr. and Mrs.
Sargent at their old home in Chester,
Vt. An extract will not be out at place :
"We arrived here on the 14th, and as
the spirit moves, I write. I can better
describe ray feelings by quoting an old
Scotch ballad : .
. 'As I dretr near ray ancient cot,
Wh-re mineralH used to grow,
No friend was there with open arms;
Mo welcome face I saw.'
"How I could wish that time in its
flight might turn backward and make
me young again just for one day. In
the graveyard lie my father and brothers
and numerous family relatives, and on
all sides are the graves of friends and
neighbors of fifty years ago.
"We leave tomorrow for Boston, where
our ancestors used to reside, to visit
some of them, and the residences they
occupied in 1635; then start towards
Oregon, where we hope to live till the
final change comes."
Mr. Sargent may be But e of a hearty
welcome when again in The Dalles, for
he and bis estimable wife are well be
loved in our midst.
WEATHER BUREAU.
Weather Crop Bulletin No 10 of the
Oregon State Weather Hervlce Tor
Eastern Oregon.
Weather A few light sprinkles of
rain-fall, nest enough to lay the dust, on
the 15th and 16th. The temperature
has been cool ; frosts have occurred ex
cept in the immediate "Columbia river
valley. South of this valley, extending
eastward through eastern Idaho, frosts
and ice occurred the morning of the
!4th and 15lb. The foot bills and the
Blue mountains had a coating of - snow
the morning of the 15th. The max
imun temperature for the week ranged
from 64 to 84 deg. in the Columbia river
valley, and from 50 to 74 ' edgt to the
south ;'the minimun ranged from 45 to
52 deg. in the valley, and from 28 to 48
deg. to the south. This temperature of
below the freezing point on Friday and
Saturday night is one of the lowest on
record for this season of the year. The
winds have been from the north to west,
and more brisk in force than is usual.
Crops While the prospects for crops,
hay, cereal and fruit, were never more
promising in the western portion of the
state, the reverse conditions prevail to
the east of the Cascades. . The reports
from the correspondents indicate a very
poor outlook. Fall-sown or summer-fol
lowed wheat is promising, and even un
der the adverse condition of a dry cool
period it will give average yield. Spring-
sown grain may make hay in some sec
tions, though it, like volunteer wheat,
will hardly be worth the cutting for hay ;
the present outlook is almost a failure of
spring and volunteer grain. A corres
pondent from Umatilla county writes:
"It is sure that this county will not
have one-half the number of bushels of
wheat that "she produced last year." A I
' Highest of all in Leavening Power.r
AOtrEILV PURE
NUMBER 26.
1895
correspondent from Morrow county
writes: "With a good rain within two
weeks we will have a fair yield of fall
sown summer-fallowed grain ; volunteer
and spring-sown are gone entirely."
Similar reports come from Gilliam, Sher
man, .Wasco and Baker counties; in
Union and Wallowa counties the con
ditions are somewhat improved,, thongh
in portions of the Grandtf Ronde valley
thn prospects are not so encouraging as
they might be. The correspondent at
Cove, Union county,' reports: "Upon
the whole, rather a discouraging ' out
look." Plowing has been suspended, due to
the ground being so dry, and a large
amount of stubble ground remains un
plowed. . The ' grasshoppers have done
and are yet doing damage to vegetation
in Morrow, Gilliam, Sherman and Was
co counties; some farmers are cutting
their bay before they otherwise would,
do so, so as to prevent its being eaten by
the grasshoppers. So that between the
dry weather and the grasshoppers some,
farmers are having a hard time of it,,
and as one writes : "It begins to look
like destitution."
In the Columbia river valley, int
Union and Wallowa counties, the fruit
crop continues promising. ,; Straw
berries are about over and cherries arc
ripe. To the south of the Blue mount
ains fruit and berries are not " promis
ing; the frosts injured them, and the
yield will be. light. The hay crop will
be good in some locations, but will be
poor in others. From Grant county a
correspondent writes : . "Grain crops are
no backward and the land so 'dry that
unless we have copious rains within a
short time they will be a failure. The
hay meadows aro not going to turn off
anything lfke the normal, crop.' Grass
hoppers. I fear, are going to .clear the
country; they have already destroyed
gardens, and will most likely harvest
oar second crop of alfalfa ; they took my
second crop last year.'
The stock is being driven"- to the
mountains for their summer pasturage:
the range grass U only fair, not is good
as last year. " . . . ' . '
The climatic conditions are . such, at
present, that no general or copious rains
my be expected during the .next week,
but warmer weather will, most likely
prevail. Moderate temperature, with
good rains, would yet materially im
prove conditions throughout' Eastern
Oregon. "''''''', !-
