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.

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

talk Medford. If the picnic talk
weakens, lookout, for it will be
Medford or bust.

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.
