A. D. CHARLTON,
Assistant General Passenger Agent,
255 Morrison St., Cor. Third, Portland, Ore,
Good Rains fell daring the first of the
week id all sections of the State, aDd
last Saturday local rains occurred in the
Willamette valley and coast co nties
The rains were quite heavy in the east
ern sections on the 25ih and 26th, but
although tliev interfered with harvest
ing and threBhiDg, tbey did no material
damage to the grain in shock. In the
Willamette valley the rains and cloudy
weatbercaused an increase of lice and
mold in the bop yards, but no great
amount of damage has yet occurred
Hop picking bas commenced, and it will
become general this week. The conch
t una no seemed settled, with good
prospects for at least two ur three days
of clear and warm weather, which will
insure a good start in harvesting the hop
crop.
Wheat, oats and barley have nearlv
all been cut, and threshing is well ad
vanced. The yields continue to turn
out satisfactory, and the farmers are
buoy hauling the crop to the ware
houses .
Potatoes, corn and other minor crops
are doing nicely. Stock is in excellent
condition for the season of the year, and
the flow of milk in the dairy districts is
exceptionally good. The third crop of
alfalfa is being cut, with average yields.
Apples and prunes continue to drop,
as usual at this season of the year, but
there is enough fruit left on the trees to
give large yields of prunes, and it is be
lieved a good crop of apples will be har
vested. The prune harvest will begin
in about two weens. Evergreen black
berries are plentiful in the markets.
Willamette Valley The general ef
fact of the weather, owing to heavy
rains, has been bad on grain crops. Oats
are sprouting in the shock anil all straw
will be badly discolored. Corn crops,
gardens and roots have been much bene,
fated ; pastures are also responding and
clover is making good growth ; sum .
aphis tare appearing on late oats; bop
picking is in progress; considerable fly
an 1 some mold are reported by the,
growers whose pUces are on bottom
land; ii 'general, however, the burr's
maturin well and gives indications of
rich quality. The fruit crop will be be
low the average.
Coast District Week cool and cloudy
with showers sufficient to moisten the
ground thoroughly : all crops progress
ing, but ripening Blow! v ; Evergreen j minIster
ui&UKuerritfB turn ijuguu uBmea n iuii
crop; apples light and of poor quality.
(Southern Oregon Fair and cooler
weather during the week; potatoes,
cirri and tomatoes doing- well; berries
are nearly gone ; melons are now in or
der ; the rivers and creeks ate quite low
and pastures are drying up.
Columbia Eiver Valley Fore part

ing well under way ; both fall and spring
wheat yielding well, and as a general
rule much better than expected Defore

Plateau Region Good rains first of
week; haying about all done; average
crop of wild bay ; timothy extra good ;
stock looking well.

Short Frarera.
According to the Philadelphia Rec
ord, three Methodist ministers, as they
were dining together the other day.
talked about short prayers. "A prayer
short as it was irreverent," snid the
first, "was offered m by a soldier'be
fore the battle of Waterloo. It was
this, '0 God, if there be a God, save my
soul if I have a soul.' " "That prayer,"
said the second minister, "reseaiblod
one composed by Bishop Attorbury In
the early part of the eighteenth centu
ry. It was a prayer for the soldiers
about to engage In battle, and It was
brief and Impressive. '0 God, it rnn.
If, in the day of battle, I forget thee.
do not thou forget me.'" The third
after a moment of thought.
smiled and said: "When I was a lad I
one day dined with two stranger aunts.
They.net me at the head of the table
and bade me say a grace. I was taken
aback, for '. knew no grace to say, but
a text popped into my mind, I rattled
It off, and after it was"bver I realized
that it was appropriate enough, ft
was, 'O Lord, open thou our Hps, and
our mouths shall show forth thy
praise.' "
What Is Life?
' In the last analysis nobody knows,but
we do know that it is under strict law.
Abuse that law even slightly, pain re
sults. Irregular living means derange
ment oi the organs, resulting in Consti
pation, Headache or Liver trouble. Dr.
King's New Life Pills quickly re-adjusts
this. It is gentle, yet ihorough. Only

A Wild Dock Preserve.
. A number of rhlladelphlans are en
deavoring apparently to monopolize tbfi
duck shooting in Elslnboro, near Sa
lem, N. J., this season, as the Taylor
farm, purchased by a syndicate, Is now
being made Into a duck preserve, says
the Philadelphia Tress. This Is the
only artificial preserve of its kind in
the state and is a desirable location.
Wild celery, oats and other feeds have
been planted, and hundreds of tame
ducks of the mallard variety are being
raised as decoys.

HON. GEORGE S. LADD.
Master of the Mnanahuaetta State
Grange.
George S. Ladd, mnster of Massachn-
setts state grange, has been' a faithful
worker In the grange for many years,
being a charter member of Sturbridge
I (Mass.) grange. He was deputy many
j years, then state lecturer four years
' and in December, 1901, was elected
mnster of the state grange. He has al
ways advocated better ritualistic work
j
HON. GEORGE 8. LADD.
and several years ago originated tab
leaux for the first four degrees, which
are extensively used In Massachusetts.
Mr. Ladd was born in Sturbridge,
Mass., where he has lived all his life,
lie has been honored by his town with
toany important offices, and in Novem
ber, 1002, he was elected to represent
his district in the state legislature.
The County Deputy.
From an article in the Itural New
Yorker by J. V. Durrow we make the
following extract:
The growth of the Order of Tatrons
of Husbandry depends very largely on
the efficiency of the work performed
by the county deputies. This Is one of
the most Important positions In the
Order, and the best men In each coun
ty, the best organizers, the most Influ
ential and energetic, the ablest in men
tal equipment, should be chosen as dep
uties. Much depends on the grange
getting the right start, and without a'
althful, intelligent and hard working
deputy thus to start it the chances are
that It will have a puny, weakly
growth. No grange should be organ
ized and then left alone "to work out
Its own salvation." The wise deputy
will make frequent visits upon It for
Instruction and to help in various
ways. Once started right. Its progre'
will be easier and surer.
Ohio's Co-opera (We Department.
The Ohio state grange co-operatlv'
department Is a live institution. Prizes
were offered by that grange for the
four subordinate granges whose pur
chases were greatest during the year.
What they did is an index of what
the trade of the granges of Ohio Is
worth or would be worth did very
grange make so good a use of the op
portunity offered through this depart
ment tis these four granges have made
the past year. The combined purchases
of tlicsf four granges amounted to
$15.yl!J.17, the average of which would
bo $.J.s:7.2!). There are more than 400
granges in Ohio, KtipKse 400 of them
had each itvcraged $3,000 worth of
trade orders for our financial agent to
contract for last year-$1,200,000 worth
of business. This would make the Ohio
state grange trade worth contracting
to supply, iu the opinion of tho Ohio
Farmer.
The Granire a Tearher.
Elbert Hubbard fays. "The teacher
Is one who wakes two Ideas grow
where there was only one before." If
his definition Is eorreet the iriuige
must come near being a teacher of
men. The benefit we derive from a
(range meeting Is not so much the
number of abstract facts we pick up
from the discussions as it Is In the Im
pulse It gives ns to think for ourselves.
Anything which will crack our shell
of Indifference and mediocrity and set
ns thinking for ourselves is worth
while. It Is not necessary that we ac
cept as gospel all the statements we
bear In the grange meeting. If It
make us think we will be able to sift
th wheat from tbe chaff, and it will
prevent w getting Into a rut and will
all the time lead ns toward ultimate
trnUv-G. A- F.
Gruren student.
Michigan state grange has adopted
amet "Practical Agriculture" as a ,
textbook for lecture work during the
resent year. Tbe lecturer of the state
grange will bare the cooperation of
j the profemors and teachers of agricul
ture at tne Michigan Bute Agricultur
al college lu assisting In presenting t
subjects of the several chapU;. m t'
the granges may obtain the most pr
tlcal taloe possible from the use
tbe book. Two hundred and twen
three copies of the textbook used la
year were sent to subordinate granges
Jn that state, and a much larger num
ber will probably be called for. Thus
are slowly forming the habits of ttndv
In the farm home.
