Weather Crop Bulletin No 18 of the
Oregon State Weather service for
.. Eastern ,Oregon.
Weather Decidedly the warmest
weather for tbe season occurred on Mon
dav and Tuesday, the temperature
reaching 104 deg. on Tuesday at Walla
Walla ; during the remainder of the week
tbe weather was comparatively - cool,
with some cloudiness. On Tuesday
light sprinkles of precipitation occurred
Special erain report Heading has
commenced with vigor in all tbe Colum
bia river counties. Crops of fall-sown
grain are turning out better than the ex
pectations warranted. This condition
is especially evident on low ground.
Barley sown in the fall is a good crop
though the yield will be below the aver
age. There i a smaller acreage of bar
ley. Spring-sown grain crops are still
suffering. Warm, dry weather has
made a failure of them as a rule. The
crops in Wasco and Sherman are very
good, approaching near to the average,
Recently great numbers of grasshop
Ders. have come over into Wasco and
Sherman from the adjacent counties on
tbe east, they have done much damage
to crops in general, though all crops are
advanced. The oat crop seems to have
suffered the most. On low land, where
tbe oats are green the grasshoppers have
cut pt tbe stalk as well as the blade.
The average yield of fall-sown grain will
also be reached in Walla Walla valley,
but the spring-sown has Buffered in that
section. Wasco and Sherman counties
and tbe Walla Walla valley will produce
a good quality of fall-sown grain. In the
other Columbia valley counties the berry
grain will be shriveled. Only grain on
low ground ,, will produce ' a good qual
ity. In sections of Union and Baker
counties some spring grain had been cuU
for hay, since the warm weather dis
pelled the hope that it would still fill
and become a fair crop. A conservative
estimate of the grain' crop south- and
east of the Blue mountains is two-thirds
of an average.. A very good quality will
be produced in Malheur, Klamath and
Harney from the irrigated lands. Grass
hoppers are still doing destructive work.
Early frosts damaged more grain than
the drouth in the elevated sections.
There is an abundance of fruit, and tbe
fruit shipments are very large. Peaches,
plums and early apples are of finest
quality. Fallappleswill.be abundant.
Potatoes are still green, though if the
warm, dry weather continues the pota
toes will be small aud the yield light.
Haying continues with generally light
yields. The spring wheat and oats
which have been cut for hay, together
with the old hay left oyer from last sea
son, will improve the prospects for the
winter. . There are some very good fields
of alfalfa. All ranges are suffering for
rain. There is not grass sufficient on
the range to supply the needs of stock.
A rain even at this late date would ben
efit many crops and improve the range
grass.. .' .. . ,i

HIS LIFE IN DANGER.
Peacemaker Diverts the Anger
Both Factions to Himself.
of
San Francisco, Joly 31. Consul-Gen-
eral Li Yung Yew is now accompanied
by a bodyguard when ' he walks the
streets of Chinatown. He has excellent
reasons for fearing personal violence, as
one attempt has already been made to
do him bodily harm. The attack on him
was the result of the factional warfare
being waged in Chinatown, and it is be
lieved by those acquainted with the sit
uation that unless peace is declared very
soon the lives of certain prominent
Chinese will pay tbe penalty.. Never in
the history of Chinatown has there been
so much talk of a serious outbreak as at
present. . ..'
Therouble is between two strong so
cieties. A member of one society was
wantonly murdered a few weeks ago and
general offices of the consul-general
were requested to settle the dispute be
tween the factions. The consul-gener
al's efforts were not satisfactory to either
side, each accusing him of having been
influenced by the other, and now both
factions are awaiting an opportunity to

for him ever since, but tbe only infor
mation obtainable is to tbe effect that
Cook was eeen at Sacramento last Tues

all the money of tbe general passenger
office. ' The railroad officials say his ac
counts are all right, and are at a loss to

Senators Protest. '
Madrid, July 30. Republican and
Carlist senators and deputies have ad
dressed a protest to the government
against the payment of tbe Mora claim
withont the sanction of the cortes. The
protest declares the government's pre
cipitancy in settling the claim is uncon
stitutional and humiliating,' and the
conduct of the United States in taking
advantage of the Cuban insurrection to
press this claim is an exhibition of an
unfriendly disposition.
The government, has decided to pay
the Moia claim in three installments.
It is the intention afterward to induce
the United States to recognize Spanish
claims for damages to property in Flor
dia, of Spanish citizens, incurred during
the civil war. ;

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until tbe last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
lor a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to core with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Core
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co,
Toledo, Ohio, is tbe only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10. drops to a tea-
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. ' Send for circulars and tes

tlon Corey Proves the Centre
Interest.
Dalles, Tex., Aug. 1. Ex-City Judge
Charles Fecklor, regarded a one of the
clearest legal minds in Dalles, stated-the
law governing prize-fighting as follows
"X be last legislature adopted a new
criminal code which made prize-fighting
a misdemeanor, punishable with a fine
not less than $500 or more than $1000, and
an imprisoment of 30 days. This law
went into operation July 20. That leg
islature also subsequently passed a civil
code and it enacted that fight may .take
place by taking out a license for $600
This law goeB into effect September, 30
days- before the Corbett-Eitzsimmons
contest. The is no doubt the supreme
court will hold it is or will be the law
after the 1st day of September. The
civil code was adopted last and, there
fore, will take precedence over the
other."
This opinion is concurred in by every
lawyer in' Dalles, who has read the law,
and there is no power to prevent tbe
Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight.
Attempt to WreeK a Train on a High
Grade. "
Jackson, Mich., Aug. 1. Monday
night an attempt was made to wreck
tbe Chicago express on the Michigan
Central near Wattaman, a small station
near Kalamazoo. A young man named
Warwick was walking along tbe track
when he discovered a stick of bridge
timber lying across the rails, only a few
moments before time for tbe train.
Tbe matter was placed in the bands of
Detective Parker, who. learned that a
roan named Herman Tyler had been
talking of the affair a good deal ' and
finally arrested him. Tyler pleaded
guilty and was placed in Pawpaw jail.
He said it was placed there because he
tbonght suspicion would ' ha directed
toward one Freeman, and ho wanted to
get even with him for. some fancied
wrong. The locality where tbe attempt
was made is on a high grade, and had
the engine struck it a dreadful, loss of
life would have resulted.
MTJCB LUMBER BUKNKD.
At
Least 60,000,000 Feet Destroyed at
Menominee Last Night.
Menominee, Mich., Aug. 1. It was at
firet thought that two men were killed
in the big lumber fire here last night,
but this has proved an error, Many
were injured by flying timbers, those
most seriously hurt being; Anderson
Levigne, head cut; Keate, chief of the
department, nose broken; Stiles, post
master, head cut; an unknown boy, lege
broken and ekull fractured.'
As nearly all the territory about was
covered with lumber and other inflam
mable material, the fire caught simult
aneously at several points, and baffled.
the efforts of tbe firemen, licking np
every 'stick of timber in tbe district, to
the amount of fully 60,000,000 feet.
