"The report! concerning the fruit
crop are not encouraging. , The heavy
raini during the time the fruit wai In
blossom did most of the injury and late
i routs materially assisted in culling
down thcyicld. Then too many of the
orchards are not properly attended to,
tne old pioneer orchard lucks spraying
and cultivation. Many of the corres
pondents report Rome orchards as good
crops, other no crop. There is - a
marked absence of insects: but this
can be accounted for from the tact
that warm, bright lunihine is necess
ary to develop thorn. In parti of Mult
nomah and Clackamai counties the
caterpillar ii very destructive. The
nighti have been cool, hence the cod-
tin moth ii not plentiful. The green
and wooly aphis are reported from a
lew of the counties, bat practically in
sect! have done no damage to the
fruit. Cherries are now ripe, and not
a county reports a full average crop,
an occasional section has a good crop ;
but generally ineakinff the cherry crop
ii from one-half a crop to practically
nothing. Then hai been a very slight
increaie in tho acreage of cherries.
Apples sre a good crop in Lincoln,
Benton, parts of Linn, Lane, Douglass
and Josephine counties; other coun
ties report a poor crop. The early ap
ple are even ihorter in yield than lbs
late applet, and it ii noted that on
those tree which had a good yield lat
year are very ihort this year; on a
general average there will not bo over
75 per cent of an average crop of ap
ples. Peaches are generally reported
to be a failure; Jackson, Josephine and
Douglui counties appear to have the
best prospects for the peach crop, but
even in these counties there will not
be an average crop. Many peach trees
have died from some unknown cause.
The curl leaf is especially bad tbiiyear.
The peach crop ii about CO per cent
of an average. The acreage of peachei
haa been increased quite considerably,
especially 10 in the southern counties.
Peers are alto a short crop. Josephine
county appear! to have an average
crop. Some correspondent! report the
pear crop a total failure, while otbera
report one-fourth to one-half a crop.
The acreage of peari haa been gener
ally increased. From the present out
look, Oregon crops can be summed up
as follows : Cereal crop an average
one in yield and product. Hay crop
above the average. Fruit U decidedly
short crop, except prunei and berriei,
prunes an average crop. Berries a
largo crop. Vegetables a good crop,
especially potatoes."

THB MONITOIl MONTEilKY.
On Her "Way np the River She Stops
at St. Helens.
For the first time In in history St.
Helens, on the evening of June 13th,
oio itself the lionor ol reoeivini? and
entertaining a representative of the
United States navy. Since the first
announcement tbat the monitor Mon
terey was to pay a visit to the Colum
bia river, great interest in the war-like
visitor has been manifested by our
citizens, who have awaited her arrival
with eager anticipation. Intelligence
that the friendly monster was actually
in the river was received with exclama
tions of pleasure, snd when the mighty
ironelad dropped her anchors in front
of this city enthusiasm was boundless.
Not since the visit of the Baltimore
and Charleston to the Columbia river,
snd perhaDi not then, has there been
ai much interest taken in any similar
event. From current dispatches it
was understood when the monitor left
Astoria that she would come as far as
Kalama and drop her anchors for the
night. Realizing that this was a rare
opportunity to distinguish ounelve
lor hospitality and enterprise, Com
mander Kempff was wired, in the
name of the mayor of this city, on the
morning of the 12th, to bring bis ves
sel np to this city and favor us with
the pleasure of entertaining himself
and crew at S ball and banquet, and
requested a reply. As Pilot Patterson
did not board the Monterey until Thurs
day morning, Captain Kempff, was un
able to reply definitely to our invita
tion until late in the afternoon of the
day be arrived here, and his tardiness
in answering precluded the possibility
of making very elaborate preparations
for his reception. However, by dint
of lively rustling a reception committee
was organized and everything possible
in the short time left was done to ap
propriately receive our distinguished
visiton. The naval trojan had no
sooner came to anchor than the steam
er Cycolne, carrying the reception
committee and the Ridgefield band,
ran along side. The committee was
oomposed of the following gentlemen :
W. J. Rice, Mayor T. V. Watte, W. ii.
Dolman, Dr. H. R. Cliff and 8. 0.
Davis. A number of others, however,
were invited to accompany the com
mittee. W. H. Dolman did the honon.
Captain Kempff received his visitors
graciously, and with the able assistance
of his officers quickly made them feel
that they were among Iriends. A de
lightful half honr was spent by the
committee inipecting tbii truly won
derful engine, at the end of which
tnnea pressing invitation was extended
to and accepted by Captain Kempff
and his lieutenants to become onr
guests and accept such hospitalities as
the limited time had made it conven
ient for ua to extend to them.
THB BALL.
The ball was purely an impromptu
affair, and considered as such, was a
very pleasant event. None of the
ladies had more than a couple of houn
notice of the bull, and were conse
quently unable to make satisfactory
preparations for it. The time passed
enjoy-ably, however, until 12 :30 o'clock
when the guests were escorted to the
St. Helem Hotel, where they were
banqueted and where many toasts were
exchanged. Before the olucers re
turned to the ship they formally in
vited the citixens of the city to visit
the monitor on the following day.
At an early hour the next morning
the naphtha launch Don Carlos arrived
down from Portland, and at once be
gun carrying passengers to and from
Ihe ironclad. Several hundred de
lighted visiton-improved the oppor
tunity to see the monitor, and were
welcomed by the officers and crew
who took pleasure and evident pride
in showing and explaining every part
of the complicated . vessel to their
many greatly interested guests.
