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

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.

There is a class of hoodlums in this

is a limit to the endurance of such
conduct.
The lumber is being hauled for the
Houlton bridge from II. O. Howard's

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.

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

any relief. My attention was then
called to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy by Mr. R. C.

there, and in less than five minutes
after taking a small dose I was entirely
relieved. -JO. O. Bcrford, Harris
