Following is tbe report of the State
Weather Bureau for Ihe week ending on
Monday, August 12. -
WESTERN ORISON.
Weather-Mondu.v, August 5th. waa one
of tbe warmest days so far this year, and
in snme localltien it was the warmest; since
then the temperature ho fallen, the maxi
mum temperature ranging from 06 to 70
degrees, and the minimum ranging from
48 to 70 deg ee. The minimum tempera
tureof "0 decrees, recorded on Tuesday.
August 6th. was the highest minimum tem
perature on record In Portland. There
was an entire absence of rainfall during
tbe week. Due to the numerous and ex
tensive forest fires over the western portion
of Washington and Oregon, the air la filled
with smoke, so much so that the sun is
almost obscured, It appearing as though it
were a red ball uf fire. This smoke Is usual
duri ig the month of Angust, and continues
until th first rain occur, which happen
about September 10.
CropsHarvesting la almost over, and
threshing is in progress. 8orae few corres
pondents report the yield as shown by the
threshing, which in wheat, varies from 21
to 38 bushels per acre; oata fnm 80 to 70
bushels and barley 20 to 60 bushels. Borne
apring grain ia yet to be harvested, but
that will practically be dene by tbe close of
the present Week.
Peaches are becoming very plentiful and
larire shipments are being mode. The best
yarietiea of peaches are now ripening.
Plums and prunes will he a full crop, pick
ing and drying of them being now in pro
gress. The berry crop ia about over, al
though a few la'e berries are yet being
picked. Applea are fully an average. A
great deal of spraying has been done this
vear. more than ireneriilly, and apple orch
ard have been given more than the usual
care; the result is that there are fewer cod
lln moth, hence a better qniiiily of anples.
The pear crop will, as usual, be a full one,
and of a better quality, due to the greater
care of the orchards. The fruit cron of
Oregon Is becoming lirger and better each
year. A great portion of the stale i ad-
niiraruy adapted to prunes, apples, pears.
peaches, and appricobi; to berries of all
kinda and to melons. Josephine countv
produces rwsihN the Inruest and as srood
as any watermelons in the United States;
tney are pr.-unc la bearing.
