Tho state board of horticulture that met at Hood river the other day se- l cted tho Oregon grape, indigenous on our valliiy lands, for the state tlowcr. There are two species, berberis aqui folium and B. nervosa. The bony, the distinguishing feature of the plant, is a waxy globule about the size and shape of a gooseberry, and generally a dull blue color. The foliage, however, is very graceful, assumes very brilliant colors, varying in Intensity at different periods of the year, and can bo used for decorative purposes with tho finest effect. Observer B. S. Fugue, of the Oregon Weather Service al Portland, has been appointed forecast olllcial for Oregon and Washington in addition to his other duties. The weather forecasts for Oregon have heretofore, for (he past six years, been made at San Fran cisco, but in tho gradual increase in the ellieioncy of the service the dis trict are being decreased in area, forecasts from Portland will certainly be more satisfactory than any that could be sent out from San Francisco. Many years' practice have given C. A. Snow & Co., solicitors of patents at Washington, D. C, unsurpassed suc cess iu ubtainiug patents in all classes of inventions. Thty make a specialty of rojected cases, and have secured al lowance of many patents that hud been previously rejected. Their advertise ment in another column, will be of in terest to inventors, patentee, manufac tures, and all who have to do with patents. The Rev. J. C. Reed, the Baptist minister, of Portland, who was reported as being drwned, and for whose body the river at Portland had been thor oughly dragged, and a reward offered for the recovery.of the body, has turned up alive and well al the home -of his brother in Illinois. It is thought his mind was mentally deranged, as his family were not advised of his trip East.:'-'. There is a class of hoodlums in this part of the county who make it a point to attend public- gatherings, for the purpose of creating disturbances, such as waa the case at Houlton Saturday night. Don't do it again, boys, there is a limit to the endurance of such conduct. The lumber is being hauled for the Houlton bridge from II. O. Howard's mill on Milton creek. The contract calls for 25,000 feet of first-class lum ber, which is delivered on the ground for $8.25 per M. The work of con struction will be commenced at an early date. Wilson, the murderer of Mamie Walsh, was brought from the peniten tiary at Salem Monday and lodged in the Oregon City jail, where he will await his trial. License to wed were issued by the county cleik Thursday to F. W. Ma kinster and Emma A. Link, both of Neor City. Otto Rubi, of Reuben, was in St. Helen Friday. Mr. J. E. Thoroughgood, writing from Georgetown, Del., says: "Two teaspoonfuls of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Piarrhcoa Remedy saved the life of Mrs. Jane Thomas, of this place." He also states that several other very bad cases of. bowel com plaint there have been cured by this remedy. For aale by Kdwia Ross, druggist. ItOX 8 XIAIII.K. The I.uIIn of I lie Houlton flvan Kellcul C'liurcli Kinerlttlii. Last Saturday tlie pooplo of Houl ton, St. Helens and vicinity gathered al the now Evangelical church at the former place with their hearts and minds made up to enjoy to the utmost any festivities that might be in store for them. As has been announced through Thk Mist before, the Evan gelical denomination have eroded a church, edifice at Houlton, but for lack of funds it ia not yet finished. Last week a committee of tho ladies of that town took it upon themselves to raise money to continue, and if possi ble, complete the church building. A plan was agreed upon as, follows: A sociable was to be given in which each lady was to prepare n double lunch placed in a box with the owner's name dosely concealed within; these to be put up at auction and sold to the high est bidder, no one" being supposed to know whose lunch and name they were purchtfsiiig, yet we have grave suspicions sometimes about this. The lunches were a ready sale at from 50 cents up to as high as $2.50 for the highest, owing to the imaginations of some that they knew whose they were buying. Owing to the fact that there were several more gnntlemen present than there were ladies, some lunches wera sold without the expected name of some lady inside. This, the com mittee very much regret, but as the crowd is seldom divided even between the two sexes, it was unavoidable in consequence thereof. The lunches were excellent, and each one seemed to express a sense of disability to dispose of their allotted proportion. The crowd numbered about 100 persons, who individually each for thomsclves assisted their share in making the afl'.iir a success. Im mediately before tho sale of tho box lunches an excellent programme, con sisting of music, recitations, reading and speeches,, was carried out to the satisfaction of all present. The committee desire to thank the people of St. Helens and the surround ing country for their splendid assis tance and contribution toward making the affair a success, and for the good feeling and good order maintained throughout the exercises. That tho evening was one of pleasure and en joyment of the highest order is the sentiment of those present, the flinches being tastefully arranged and an abun dance of delicacies in each box. The receipts of the evening were $56.25 which will materially assist in further improving the church, and tor which the ladies of the committee extend their sincere thanks to those so gener ously contiibi'tiug. ' The Committer. Weather and Crop Bulletin. For tlie week ending Tuesday, July 20. WESTKRK OKBOOS. Weather. Tlie mean temperature has been from three to seven degrees below the normal temperature, which latter at this time of the year average 7Udegrees. More Hum the usual amount of cloudy weather has prevailed. Thera were showers on the 2lst, 22nd, and 23rd along the count and in the Willamette valley, amounting to a trace to one half an inch. Crops. The eool, partly cloudy weather and showers have been of great bcnelit to late gruin, causing it to have more growth the heads to till better, and to make the berry more plump. Harvesting of fall-sown wheat and oats Is In full progress, and re ports indicate that better yields areobtainod than were exacted. Threshing will begin inside of ten days and accurate reports as to yields will then be available. Spring grain will hardly make more than three- fuurths of a crop, and In a few localities will not-make that much. The cool, murky weather has caused the hop lice to develop more rapidly and greater fears than have heretofore existed now exist relative to the probable security of a good crop. The weather is favorable to the second growth of clover ami a fair crop will be secured. The cool weather keeps the corn from go ing into tassel, thus helping the ears to form. The potato crop is generally reported to be light. Fruit will not be over one-fourth a crop; peaches, pears, and plums aro ripe and are being shipped to market. KASTKHN OHKOON. Weather. Continued cool temperature lias prevailed, the nights especially eool, while during the middle of the day the tem perature ranged from TO to 80 degrees. there lies been more than the usual amount of partly cloudy weather, and on the "21st, 22nd, anl2.'trd occasional showers occurred. The winds havo been light In velocity and not so dry. Crops. There has been sufficient rains to beneltt the crops, as was desired, yet the other condition were very favorable to the growing crops. Harvesting of winter wheat and oats is in full blast through the Coluni bla Kiver valley. Wheat is turning out 70 to 85 per cent, of tho average except in a few localities where it is not over from 50 to 00 percent, of the average. "The best yields are iu the eastern portion of Umatilla county. In Union and Wallowa counties the present appearance of the wheat crop Indicates 80 per cent, of an average crop. In Baker, Malheur, and the interior coun ties the cool weather has considerably re larded development of vegetation, and hay ing is just beginning. While tho farmers are not enthusiastic over their crops, yet the majority of them are not despondent. B. S. I'aouk, Local Forecast Official. While at Big Island, Va., Inst April, I was taken with a very sovere attack of diarrhoea. I never had it worse in my life. I tried several old-time remi dieB, such as blackberry wine, pare goric and laudanum without getting any relief. My attention was then called to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy by Mr. R. C. Tinsley, who had boen handling it there, and in less than five minutes after taking a small dose I was entirely relieved. -JO. O. Bcrford, Harris Creok, Amherst Co., Va.

Miss Katie Hasten celebrated her 13th birthday on Wednesday evening last by giving a party, to which a large number of the young lady's friends wore invited, Games and a splendid lunch were tho order of the evening, and all went away in tho best of spirit, wishing Miss Katie many happy re turns of the day. Rev. Beauchamp, of tho Evangelical church, preached an excellent sermon to a crowded house on Hiinday even ing last at Oillton. He expects to preach here the fourth Sunday in each month until other arrangements; can be made. The people are very much pleased to have Rev. Beauchamp back among them again. Ruv. Weir, of the United Brethren church, waa to have preached here last Sunday but failed to arrive in time, consequently a large crowd was disappointed, Tlie school at this place ia progress ing nicely under the managuient of Mr. Charles Elrey. Mr. Elrey is also superintendent of the Sunday ec oo1, and seems to be the right man in the right place. Mrs. D. W. Richardson, of Portland, is visiling her parents, Mr, and Mrs. J. R. Becgle, this week. Farmers are very busy at present, "making hay while the sun shines," the late rain having done considerable damage to hay, but a great benefit to gardens. Everybody is waiting for the water to go down so that wooil-naui-ins can commence, there being fully 2000 cords in this immediate neigh borhood to haul to the bay. TKYOS. William Pongbcrtv.
