Octoiikh Wkatiikk l'KO(INOSICATIONS. The weather is always an interesting topic of conversation and the lourth commandment la broken oftenur ita in din amnion than from any other one caune. At the beginning of the rainy noason especially, when wood in be houned for winter, umbrellas bought, so uh to be able to acco iodide our friends when it raina, it is a most timely topic. The following data, covering a period of 25 yoarn.fortlie month of October.compiled from the weather bureau records at Port land by that chief of all weather makers, 15. 8. Pague, may be of interest In deter mining the weather for the present month. The muan temperature for the past 25 years lias been 54 degrees; the warmest month was in 1875, when the average was 58 degrees; the coldest month was in 1803, with an average of 60 degrees; tThe hlghent tem perature was 83 degrees on the 7th in 1801, tho lowest 81 degrees on tho 31st iu 1877 and the same data in 1805. The nvorago date on which the first "killing" lrost accured was the 2(ith of November. The average rain fall for October for 25 years pant has been 3.73 inches ; the grculent monthly precipitation wiw 11. 68 Inches In IHH'i ; the leant monthly precip itation wan in 181)5; thegreutont amount of prni'lptatlon recorded In any 24 con auditive hours was 2,(.'i Inches on the 101 h in IHH'J, Avernge number of clear days 7( partly cloudy 10, cloudy 14 The prevailing winds during these 25 years have been from the south, while the highest velocity attained was HH miles an hour on the 24th in 1HU4. Waitino Foil Mohk Watkm. HIchiii- boatmen are anxiously awaiting a week of rainy weather to bring the Upper Wllaiiiutlu river up to boating stage. There are great quantities of wheat and hops along the river between bore and Corvallis to he bt ought down on the boats, but owing to the low stuge of water, boats cannot now ascend beyond Halem. The new snaglioat Mathlotna, built by Captain Fiak, United BtaUia on gltienr, has under command of Captain Hatch, done good service In clearing the upper river of snags, and the channel Is In splendid condition as far as these ob struction to navigation are concerned, Nothing ha yet Ihhiii done in the way of dredging bar, and there can tie no navigation of the upiier river in low water limes until this Is done. There are 10 bur lietween I'ortland and Halem, on wlilch there is now about two feet of water; lietween Kalem and Albany are 14 bars, on w hich there is 15 to 1H Inches of water, and between Albany and Cor vallis there are eight bars, having about the same amount of water. These bam are from 100 to .'100 feet across and are of fine gravel. When a dredger Is pro- vliltd which can move this gravel readily and clear a channel of from U ) to 100 feet in width, it will not take long to make the river navigable to Corvallis in low-water time.

A farmer's wife who bus fought these au dacious little highwaymen by all the methods heretofore known, hit ution a plan this season, which soon freed her neighliorhood of yellow jackets. Her plan was to set out glass fruit jars half tilled with sweetened water which at tracted the insect by the hundreds and entering the jar were unable to get out. When she first put out the jars they re quired to be emptied aeveral times dur ing the day, so many yellow jackets having la-en captured, and in a abort time scarcely a yellow jacket was lobe wen about the premise. Tiik "I'k nalty" Tax.-TIio lVndleton Tribune has the following to say of the new department in tax collecting that the sheriff1 of Umatilla county has adopted: That part of the IS 05 tax known as the "H-nalty" tax imposed upon delinquents and which was form erly applied in payment of extra exiienne inclined In making the collections, is to be returned to tho parties who paid it. Kheriir llouser contends that the courts having held that the money thus collected is an illexxl tax, the claim tiiat it t-hotild lie tu tied over to the county is not well founded and that, under the late derision of the supreme court, there ia nothing left for him to do but turn the money back to the people from whom it waa collected, and he intends to notify Interested parties to present their claims by advertising iu the newspapers though out the county.
