If the peo ple of the United States are in favor of a world's fair to the extent of giving tho exposition $5,000,000, they have not expressed tnerr views mrougi: tlmir reDreseutatives in congress vet. The advocates of this appropria tion had hard sledging in the house, and the result of the duy's work may bo summed up as follows: Hie ap nmnriution was voted down, 110 to 122, and the Sunday-closing par trriiuh inserted by the senate was sua tuiiied bv a vote of 147 to C2. There was great interest but not much ex citement manifested, and the vote which was closer than conservative friands of the appropriation looked for. and surprised its antagonist by not heins a largo n they expected The Bunday closiog amendment boing concurred in by a decisive majority the bill went into conference. GREAT ELECTRICAL- RESULTS To the public About one year ago I was injured in the back by lifting. The pain became so great that I was unable to be about much of the time. My kidneys wore also sffeoted. Dr. Darrin cured me with electricity and medicines in three months. My wife ha also been cured of deafness and a disagreeable discharge from the car ot ten vears' standing. Refer to me at St. Helens, Or. F. D. HENRICI. Dr. Darrin will give electric treat ment for $5 a week, or in that propor tion, as the case may require, until further notice. An exception is made iu surgical operation. The poor treated free daily from 10 to 12 ; those able to pay, 11 to 6 ; evenings, 7 to 8; Sundays, 10 to 12. All curable chronic, aoute, private, and wasting diseases, including stricture, hydrocele and var icocele, cancers, tumors, and all malig nant diseases treated successfully, and cures guaranteed and never published except by request of patient. Surgi cal operation skillfully performed. Consultation free and strictly confi dential. Send for question blank and circular. l)rs.

WKSTKUS OttSOOK. Weather. The mean temperature has ranged from 00 to 70 degrees, which Is from three to rive degrees a day below the aver age. The weother bos been partly cloudy, und the average sunshine has not prevailed. Showers occurred on the 15th and general rains on the 10th, except In parUof Jackson county where no rain fell, The amounts of rainfall are, Clatsop county 0.83, Multno mah 0.57. Marlon 0.52, Douglu 0.27, Jose phine 0.11, northern Jackson county from sprinkle to 0.0.5 of an inch. Crops. The rain was of great benefit, e.- peiiullyto late-sown grain; to corn and garden truck j while In portions of theeoai-t counties it did some damage to hay. A continuation of the present weother will rove of irreat value to the late-sown grain. Kurly-sown wheut is being harvested and is generally turning out better than was ex pected, though it is not up to lust year s crop and it is also not quite up to the aver age. The oat crop is just beginning to ie cut In a few localities, but It, too, is not an average. The wheat crop of 1801, til the counties west of the Cascades, amounted to eight and one-half million bushels, and the crop this year will be about Irom to 10 20 per cent, less than lost year, utiles it should turn out fur beyond of what it at present indicates. Haying Is obout over ond a itood crop has been secured. Hops are not promising extra well ; they have not the growth they should have; the lice ore present and develop under the present weather conditions, but so fur no damage has been done. The first shipment of peaches was made from Ashland on the 10th Inst, which was ten days later man usual. EASTBKX OKKUOS. Weather. General rains occurred on the Kith. The mean temperature has been from 01 lo 75 degrees, which Is from two to four degrees below ibe overage. There has been an excess of cloudiness. On the 15th brisk winds prevailed north of the Blue nioun- tuiiix. anil on the 11 th a float occurred iu Klamath county which Injured the gardens, Crops. Harvest is in progress in all the Columbia river valUy counties. Ihe groin is yielding better thun was expected, thougli not up to the average. Late grain was Den- elited by the rains. The gruiu crop in 1891, in the mountains east of the Cascades, amounted to live ond one-half million bush els, while this veur it is estimated that the crop will be from 25 to 35 per cent, less, Corn is doing very well, tliuugh would nave better growth with warmer weather. The grass Is drying up. Potatoes are not a good crop. There bos been an average crop of hay secured and stock growers feel conn dent that they will have plenty of feed for any kind of a winter. The streams ore fall inu rauidly : some wells ore dry, and water is being hauled. There U nothing espec uilly discouraging to the wheat prospects of the state, though they are aot as flattering as they were oe year ago, but ore more so than they were in July, 1889. B. S. Paook.
