Weekly Crop Dullrtln. Poiitlaxd, Ohkoox, 1 uesdny, July 22, No rain luis fallen, exocpt a few showers early in the week in Hie Willamette valley and the eoust counties. The week has averaged the warmest of the season, its first part as un seasonably cool, after which the temperature rose quite rapidly. The maximum, or day temperatures in western Oregon ranged between CD and degrees, and the Mini mum, or night temperatures be tween 46 and fioilegrees. In eastern Oregon the maximum temperatures ranged between 70 and 100 degrees and the minimum temperatures be tveen 44 and 64 degree. One uf the severest windstorms ever known at this season of the year swept across tnc entire state on the afternoon and night of the 14th. Ripe grain, fruit, hops, and cut hay were badly damaged by the wind in many sections. Barley, being farther along, suffered the most, and the yields will be con siderably lessened from this cause. The damage to wheat was nut so great, owing to the fact that much v& it was too green to bo badly shattered, although the green wheat was knocked down, the heads whip ped off and the straw broken in numerous exposed places in differ ent parts of the state. Fruit also suffered quite extensi vely; many apples were blown off the trees and eveu the trees them selves were in some cases blown down. Tne damage 'to fruit was greatest in the Willamette valley and the coast counties. The later als to the hop vines were torn away and in the more exposed yards the poles were blown down. In the case of cut hay; the stacks were blown down and the loose hay was scattered over the fields. Most of it was later recovered in f airiy good condition and the damage to the hay crop by the windstorm did not amount to much. The hot weather during the last f 'w days of the week dried up pas tures, atid teed on the foothills is' fast becoming poor. Stock, how ever, continue in good condition ami the flow of milk in the dairy districts has not shrunk more than usual at this season of the year. Haying is nearly finished, and some have begun cutting their second crop of alfalfa. The hay crop is an average one and it lias generally been secured in a good condition. The fall grain harvest has begun, and the cutting of (.ruin will he come general all over the state by the first of next week. Corn, po tatoes, hops and gardens are grow ing nicely end the warn) weather wns just what these enps needed for rapid advanoeni"nt. PenJleton, Uniitilla county, A. Uuppe. A heavy windstorm pre vailed generally over the county the evening of the 14th, which did Miwiderable damage to early win ter wheat and barley; soine farm ers claim a loss of from (iiie-quar-t:-r to one-half a crop froin either shattered grain or on account of the heads lei:ig broken off or stalks i (down down.

UlffleiiltJesorToporuphte Mapping. The United S'.ates tieological Survey is engaged in the topngiaph ic mapping of the eountry. In many regions this is not a diflieult undertaking, but in the mountain ous section of the Hast and West and in the arid diverts of Arizona and neighboring States obstacles which seem aim t insurmontable must be overcome in the prosecu tion of this work. Recent Reports of the progress of the survey in the rugged country eif northern Mon tana serve to strongly emphasize the difficulties which the topograph ers encounter. In this portion of the country only two months of good weather can bedependul upon during the summer season, and the storms which precede and follow this period are so severe that it is practically impoi-silde to conduct work with the necessary accuracy and economy. Topographic work in the moun tainous region near Browning, in northern .Montana, has recently been completed, and interesting details in connection with it are available. The method employed is the one- known to topographers as t the 1 photographic method. A special j designed combination of camera' and theodolite, very rigid in strong J winds, was used, ami panoramic views were taken from well-selected, prominent p tints. From ;b negatives thus secured, which were developed in Washington, enlarg ed transparancies were made, from which it was possible to locate, in! position and elevation, a largej nwiiU-r of prominent and second-j a.ry points, with the 1hJj of the j primary triaiigulation already ex- j tended in the reg:on; and by the: .id of theie photograph the con-1 tour lines, or lines of equal cleva-j tion, wcra sketched in. Such wuttj the severity of the weather when ! iw, of our views were taken that. ; it was found necessary to make the. ascent of White Calf Mauntain no! fewer than eight time- the last; l.'iOO feet on foot and nearly the! entire day was spent on the sum-' mit at each ascent, in driving; snow, beforo favorable conditions could be found. Six negatives! wen: at last secured in the interval j of a st.irm so severe that it was imputable to face the wind lougetj than the few moments necessary! to complete the details of tho ex posure. Ordinary methods, used with 8MVVSH under favorable cir cumstances, would have failed completely in this region, hut the camera grasped in ft few wellseleet ed seconds all that could have been obtained in sove-al hours by oilier methods. The task of mapping tho United State? has been in progress for about twenty years, but so vast is tho extent of the country that the larger portion of it still remains unsurveved.

New Topographic! .Map, One of the new maps issued by the United States Geological Sur vey is an interesting sheet cover ing Mount Stuart and tho sur rounding country in central Wash ington. The map is particular)' useful as a guide to the region, us not only are all the reads and trails shown but also the important topographic features, such us the height, the steepness of the slopes, and the ek'vations of the mount ains. It also shows the location and extent of the glaciers on the north side of Mouut Stewart, and the larger ie-e field and jjhwiers a mile or more to the eaMward. Both ti the traveler and to the student of physiography the isp is of value, and it may be purchas ed for live cents, on application to the I)ircctr of the United States Geological Survey. Onfj A Dream. At rVateilo the young ladies of the I'. 0. ('. club decided that it was not good for woman to he alone any more than for man t be alone, so acting upon this decision they, by the ghastly light of red fire and burning taper and grin ning skulls, last evening initiated into their chib twenty gentlemen members. The gallant knights on bended kuees vowed, promised and declared that they would not treat any lady outside of the I'. O. C.J club to ice cream, ice cream soda and bon lions, and still on bended knees faithfully swore that" they would not make love or jirooe marriage until they had tried and been rejected by each member of said club, and one young lady de clares they really promised not to liit their hats to any other of the fail sex.
