Tho weath er of the past wlt was generally favorable for farm work and for the growth of crops. Tho emperatuto averaged slightly abovo normal but there were several cold nights nnd some frost. There was considerable cloudiness, particularly In western counties, and some rain fell, but the soil was generall in better cdndi- .ion to be worked than at any pre vious time this season and farm work made rapid progress. Farming oper ations are still backward over most of Western Oregon, tho summary said, but are fairly well up to date In the central and eastern counties. Winter wheat, rye and oats con tinue to make good progress. Some low fields In the Willamette valley are showing yellow but the condition is not serious. Winter wheat is in the hoot in Douglas county and rye Is headed In the milder parts of the state. Seeding of spring wheat, bar ley and oats continues. Tho soil Is generally in good condition and germination Is satisfactory, though growth is rather slow. Plowing for coin is in progress and some coin has been planted. An increased ncreago or coi n is oxpecieu. The genemi outlook for fruit, .is excellent. Some loc-il damage has been done to all kinds or fruit by frost and cold rain has interfered with pollination In Muue cases, hut Ibis applies to a very limited acre age.

Club rooms, with a good attendance. Spec ial Interest was attached to tho meet ing through the presence of 11. J. Hell, of Chicago, who is regional su pervisor of safely work for the north western division under tho United States KailroaU administration. There I were also present G. F. Grodzkl, of Portland, general safely aKont; G. T. Illytho, assistant s:ifoy agent and A. W. Per ley, spucial mechanical repre sentative, also of Portland. The chair was occupied, in the absence of Sunt. Dollons, by Mr. Grodzki. Mr. Grodkl presented tho report from his department for tho month of March and for the first thro months of this year, showing that very satisfactory progress in the ri- duction of accidents throughout the railway system is resulting froir such activities as are carried on through the safeiy commit tOomen During tho fiist tlneo months of the year, lie said, tho number of serion? injuries was thirty-two per cent lower than for the first three months of last year; and lust year In turn tho number was thir:y per cent, bo low that of tho Hn mo period tho year before. Tart of tho report Btated that not one accident occurring among the employes was due to defective equip ment. The chairman read over the list of accidents whij'i were of suJ nature that they had to be repor.cd to the Interstate Coumirrb Cennn'.s- sion, and there- followed discussion of tho prohablo camtei of th 'so and ways in which they miht he avoided The discussion of .uifoiy first, meas ures brought out the fact that the railways are not so anxiously con cerned at present wtih ttie accidents which occur among their employes for tho 'reason thtrt the snfuly first teachings aro being heeded by them as they are about tho accidents which occur to outsiders pM.ipIo who arc trespassing on the raiiwav proper ty.
