WASHINGTON NOTES. Interesting Item Picked Oat from the Dally Dispatches. President Cleveland and family have gone to Ci-ray Gables for the summer. President Cleveland emphatically de clares that he is not seeking a renomi nation. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Mc Adoo has gone on a tour of inspection of the naval reserve. Commander Ide of the Alert, now at Panama, has been relieved from duty for disrespect toAdmiral Meade. The use of aluminum in the construc tion of torpedo boats and other military contrivances is now being investigated. Canteens are to be made of the light metal. Edward Hahn, director of the inter national postal bureau at Berae, Swit zerland, is in Washington to make ar rangements for the next international postal conventian. The publication of the dismiraal from the pension bureau of Miu Key, grand daughter of Francis Scott Key, author of "The St?r Spangled Bnnert" has re sulted it the report that Miu Key will eventually be reinstated through the patriotic societies of Washington. There is nothing against the efficiency record of Miss Key, as she stands very well in the pension office list of clerks. The. only reason assigned for her dis missal is her age. The contentions over the San Fran cisco poetoffice site still continue to crop out. Congress passed an act to have the site examined by a board of military engineers. This work was to have been completed by July, but it was never commenced. The army officers wanted the disbursement of the $3,000 appro priated placed in their hands and the treaury department refused to pay out ,ny mney except upon vouchers for Tpenses incurred. McLaughlin & Bresse, the San Fran cisco grain brokers who were the agents of the late Senator Fair in the big wheat deal of last year, are in the hands of a receiver. They accuse each other of unfair dealing and quarreled about a division of commissions received from the Fair wheat deal. Xotes From Eden Precinct- BY FARMER.

Worley preached at the schooHiouse last Sunday morning, and wi'l preach again the third Sunday in July. Miss Cantrall, of Applegate, was quite a favorite with both old and young, and many are hoping she will he with us again next fall lo take charge of our school. Some say don't monkey with a buzz-saw,, but Tom Edsall's version of it is don't monkey with a saw log. Tom is getting along nicely, patiently waiting fur the broken leg to grow strong. .1. II. Stewart is making prepara tions for enlarging his already spa cious packing house, and is also laying plans for a large drier to handle his fine crop of prunes and the culls from the packing house. Where are you going to spend the Fourth? is heard on all sides. We had such a splendid time at our little picnic in the mountains last year that some haven't forgotten it and are talking picnic, while others talk Medford. If the picnic talk weakens, lookout, for it will be Medford or bust. Krownsooro lU-nis. BY REBECCA. Farmers are harvesting their hay in this vicinity. F. Brown, of Eagle Point, was in town Monday.

Kind friends tender their sympathy to the bereaved family and relatives. Official Crop and Weather Bulletin. WESTERN OREGON. Crops The weather has been favorable to the growth of all crops. The cool weather retarded that rapid growth which had been pre vailing for the preceding week, and this was beneficial. The frosts did no real damage. The ground was auite drv, hence, the rain served its purpose. As one correspondent writes, "If the weather had peen made to order during the current season, its character could hardly have been improved upon. Fall and winter-sown wheat is now be yond any possible harm from ad verse weather conditions, except heavy rain and wind, which would beat it down. The wheat has now headed. Some correspondents re port the presence of the green aphis, but so far it is not present in any large numbers, nor is anything ser ious expected from them. Spring sown grain is in splendid condition. The ordinary weather, should it pre vail, will produce the spring grain to perfection of quality and yield. Haying was commenced in many sections the forepart of the week, which was interrupted by the rain; it will be resumed this week and much of the hav will be cut by the close of the current week. The hay is very heavy, and a large crop will be secured. The corn was retarded in its growth by the cool weather. The fruit prospects continue prom ising. Some varieties of prunes continue to drop but so far it has been nature doing the pruning in stead of man. The trees for the most part yet have more fruit upon them than they can well mature. The peach, apricot, almond and walnut trees are well filled. There will be no short crop in any of these. The pear trees are considerably overloaded, and much hard prun ing will have to be done to prevent the heavy fruit from breaking the trees. The apple crop will Im fully the average in yield and superior in quality; more care than ever is pe ing taken to protect all fruits frem the ravages of insects. The cater pillars appeared in destructive num bers three weeks ago, and they arc now conquered by spraying. And so with other pests. The cherry trees are loaded, and they are ripen ing rapidly: Potatoes are growing rapidly. The potato crop will most likely be larger than ever before. The strawberry season is nearly over; it has been a most successful one. Raspberries are now ripening. As usual, all berries will have a most prolific yield. Sheep shearing is alout over, and good heavy fleeces have been se cured. Stock continues in prime condition. The field, garden, or chard and range all promise most successful returns, and the flatter ing prospects for bountiful harvests J that have prevailed for the past j month continues, but in an im proved degree. i The atmospheric conditions are such that warmer weather with lit tle or no rain will propablv prevail the remainder of the month. In Eastern Oregon the reports are not so flattering. While the prospects for crops, hay, cereals and fruit, were never more promising in the western portion of the state, the reverse conditions prevail to the east of the Cascades. The reports from the correspondent? indicate a verr poor outlook. Fall-sown or summer-fallowed wheat is promis ing, and even under the adverse condition of a dry cool period it will give an average yield. Spring sown grain may maWfe hiy in some sections, though it, like volunteer wheat, will hardly be worth cutting for hay; the presont outlook is for almost a failure of spring and vol unteer grain. The stock is being driven to the mountains for their summer pastur age ; the range grass is only fair, not so good as last year. B. F. Sprague, Director. Money loaned.
