(United States Department of Agriculture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bu reau, Oregon Section, for the -week ending Monday, September 9. Edward A. Beals, Sec tion Director. Portland, Or.) General Summary. Light rains fell during the week In nearly all parts of the etate. They -were very beneficial to late crops and past ures, but not heavy enough to injure grain exposed in the fields or to damage hops. It has been much cooler, especi ally in the eastern part of the state, and light frosts occurred on two or three mornings. The frosts were too light to doany damage of consequence. The maximum temperatures during the week In Western Oregon ranged between CO and 78 degrees, and the minimum be tween 38 and 52 degrees. In Eastern Ore gon the maximum temperatures ranged between 50 and 74 degrees, and the mini mum between 36 and 52 degrees. Treshlng was delayed somewhat by the rains. The returns this week are as follows: Washington County, wheat, 15 to 30 bushels to the acre; oats, 30 to 40. Polk, wheat 2S; oats 35. Marlon, wheat, 20 to 30; oats, 30 to 40; barley, 30 to 40; clover, 1 to 4. Linn, wheat, 10 to 50; oats, 20 to 100. Josephine, wheat, 10; oats, 25. Jackson, wheat, 10 to 16.

The crop promises to be of superior quality, but slightly below the average in quan tity. Late potatoes have been benefited by the rains, but they were not heavy enough for this crop, and unless more rain comes very soon the yields will be considerably less than usuel.

Sept. 10. Ed Brisbo, ex-Chief of Indian Police on the Uma tilla reservation, will be hanged If the Federal Court at Portland finds him guilty of the crime of criminal assault. upon the person of Anna Blamont, a white girl on the reservation, who is under 16 years of age. He learned only yesterday what is the awful penalty for the crime of n km tmm0 A is "iisiil ipf Jut. m mi H SW mt f.-A Hsiftillil' Mk liiiltess llhm fefli Wmm li put m WWJ MW& itSif1 ' " tan Sifi jfti mm. tst agtf - -istgri rsmk W if -, fc.

'i Dii'miMiIIiJ BE which he is charged, and was quite na turally almost paralyzed at the reception- of the Information. He had believed it punishable with 10 years in the peni tentiary as the maximum. The crime for which he is arrested is under the United States statute, which,, unlike that of the State of Oregon and other states, provides death by hanging for the person convicted of criminal assault upon terri tory exclusively under Federal control, such as Indian reservations. Brisbo alleges that the reason the charge of criminal assault has been pre ferred against him is that his wife de sires a divorce from him, and that she is thus making cause for legal separation in the eyes of the court. PLETHORA OP BEGGARS. Twelve of Them, With Crutches, Pa rading the. Streets. A plethora of beggars with crutches has struck Portland during the last few days. Inquiry yesterday elicited the fact that there are about a dozen of these unfortu nates In town, and two of them have been insulting to citizens when the latter passed by without giving alms. Yesterday morning, a woman was pass ing along Third street, when she was stopped by a man with a crutch, and when he asked her for alms she said that she would give him 5 cents. She opened her purse to get at her money, and just then -a dime dropped out and rolled on the sidewalk. She placed the dime back again in her purse, and hand ed the man a nickel. "Why didn't you gi me the dime? You people around here are no good," he snarled. The woman walked away, with her feelings hurt. Last night, two men with crutches, who gave their names as C. Brown and Mat thew Wilson, were observed begging at First and Burnside streets by Policeman Carpenter, and he told them to move on. In reply they talked back, and a crowd gathered whose sympathies were with the beggars, and Brown and Wilson were es corted to the police station. Wilson was evidently the banker, for when searched he had $1 15 In his possession. "We are at a loss to know why these beggars should have selected Portland as their camping ground," said a police offi cial. "Maybe the advent of the carnival has something to do with it. We can't stand these beggars in this- town. They don't "belong here. If they think they are to get free board and lodging from the city this Fall, they are mistaken. We shall be forced to give a bread and water diet if the epidemic of beggars continues." The Diploma Mill Case. 'CHICAGO. Sept. 10. Dr. Jacob Smyser, ex-Secretary of the Dental Board, who was given a hearing in the Criminal Court last week, on charges of forgery, accept ing a bribe and malfeasance, was held to the grand jury on the two first-named charges. The charge in malfeasance was dismissed. "'The charges were based on the complaint that hundreds of licenses - to practice dentistry in the State of 1111 nois had been, forged and sold.

' c For Infants an AHS THE SZGNA BEST SHEEP IN OREGON LOT OF THE CHOICEST EUROPEAN BLOOD IMPORTED. Greatest FIocIc of Rambouillet Sheep In the World Eastern Breeders Looking; to Oregon Ranges. SHANIKO, Or., Sept. 10. The Baldwin Sheep & Land Company has just received a lot of pure-bred sheep from Europe. Among these are 33 ewes from the na tional stud farm, of France; 59 ewes and 16 rams bred by A. M. V. Gilbert, or Troupeau de Wideville; 41 ewes and four rams from Thironin-Sorreau. These sheep are all of the choicest Rambouillet breed, seven of the rams having taken first prize at the Paris Exposition. They were selected by an agent sent by the Baldwin Sheep & Land Company, with in structions to get the best, regardless of price. They are not only rich in breeding, but are individually the very finest speci mens that could be procured. In addition to the Rambouillets, this Im portation Included three German Delaine rams, bred by Otto Steiger, Lentewitz, Germany. Theseiare the only animals of this particular .strain of blood that have ever been exported from Germany and their superiority is unquestioned. These importatibns, together with the home production, give the Baldwin Com pany 51,000 pure-bred Rambouillets, the largest flock of Rambouillets in the world. There are 4000 imported ewes and up ward of 1000 imported rams in the flock. Dr. Cartwright, president of the com pany, met the fresh Importations at New York, and saw that the animals had proper transportation across the country. While in the East he sold four young Oregon rams at 5500 each, and they will be shipped to the purchasers in a day or two. Instead of going to "Vermont for fine sheep the market is turning to Oregon for Its finest supply. The climate and all the conditions here are favorable to the production of as good sheep as can be produced anywhere else, perhaps better. The Baldwin Company Is thoroughly im bued with the notion that Oregon can lead the world in fine sheep, and it will let nothing stand In the way of getltlng the choicest blood in the world to put on the Oregon range. There will be a carload of these sheep on exhibition at the State Fair. LOWELL ON lilS CANDIDACY. He Is Confident He Will AVln, if East ern Oregon Gets the Governorship. Pendleton East Oregonian. Tho incident of tho month is the formal announcement by Judge Stephen A. Low ell, of Pendleton, of his candidacy for the Republican nbmlnation for Governor. Judge Lowell comes out in a letter, In which he asks for support and defines his position upon leading state issues. East ern Oregon has come prominently forward of late for recognition on the state tick ets, and it has been bruited about the state that W. J. Furnish, president of the Pendleton Savings Bank, Is also a candi date, and will ask for the nomination. Judge Lowell, in his public letter printed in the Pendleton Tribune, and Portland Oregonian, on Sunday, outlined his views on state issues. In addition, the East Oregonian has obtained from Judge Lowell the following Interview: "Do you enter the contest as an Eastern Oregon candidate?" "My home is in Eastern Oregon, and I believe this section of the state entitled to greater consideration than it has re ceived, but I am not a sectional candidate. I have many assurances of support from Western Oregon. I have an ambition laudable, I believe to occupy tbe exec t'lve chair of this state, and have made the announcement thus openly half a year before the conventions assemble, that the people may have opportunity to consider my views upon public policies. If other men and other policies suit the party I For Over Thirty Years. iSF1 n TJ N better, of course the convention will have plenty of material to select from. I am not gifted with the arts of a politician, and must stand or fall upon what I am and the principles I represent." "From your conclusion to enter the con test, we assume that you deem the chances for the political success of an Eastern Oregon man good?" "I have been in correspondence with many of the leading men of the party, over the state for several weeks, and my advices indicate that the time is ripe for this section to assert its claims to rea sonable recognition. I know that it will be necessary for a candidate to go to the convention with the Eastern Oregon dele gation substantially united, .and I have refrained from becoming an avowed can didate until I could feel reasonably as sured that such a union could be effected. I am now satisfied from advices received from most of the counties tnis side of the Cascades that we can get together." "The newspapers report that Governor Geer is a candidate for re-election, and ho represents Eastern Oregon's interests, having once resided in Union County." "Yes; but in the party usage of the state, in the Republican ranks at least, a Governor can hardly expect a renomlna tion. A single term has been the rule, and, if I am nominated and elected, It will be with the pledge to myself and the people that a second term will not be asked or accepted. Frequent changes in executive offices are wise, and four years is a long term. It is many years since Mr. Geer was a resident of this section of the state." "Who will be the other candidates for the Gubernatorial nomination?" "It is too early to tell. At present .the men most talked of are County Judge W. M. Cake, General O. Summers, and ex .Stato Treasurer Phil Metschan, all of Portland, and State Senator Booth, of Lane County."' "It is reported that there is another candidate for the office from this country, is it not?" 'M saw such an announcement in the Tribune last July. Regarding his candi dacy I have nothing to say. The voters can choose between us." "Your opponents, as of course you are aware, while acknowledging your ability and strength with the masses, say that you aro an Idealist?" "Yes; their arguments have been re ported to me. I suppose from the stand point of the boss and corruptionist, I am an Idealist. I have little taste or talent for-practical politics, and believe neither in manipulating primaries, nor buying votes, either with money or promise of office. I have faith In the people, and am feure they can attend to their own po litical affairs quite as wisely and well as a boss can do it for them. If there is present need of idealism in any depart ment of human effort it Is In politics, and 1 do not think that line of argument of my friends, the enemy, will avail them. I am not endowed with the faculty of money-getting, it is true, but I have been able to conduct by own affairs thus far so as to meet my obligations, and to bear my share of public demands. I think the business of the state would not suffer by any idealism of mine." "What is the likelihood of your suc cess?" "It is six months yet before the pri mary election, and what change will take place in that time I cannot tell. Were the primaries to be held at once, 1 would feel confident of securing the support of at least three-fourths of the Eastern Ore gon delegates, and a liberal support in the Valley counties. Portland is an uncertain quantity. With Its 70 votes it will prob ably name the next Governor, but at present no man is wise enough to fore cast the result there. I have canvassed the situation carefully, and, if any East ern Oregon man can secure the nomina tion, I feel confident I can do it." Large Glucose Plnnt Closed. PEORIA, 111., Sept. 10. The plant of the American Glucose Sugar Refining Com pany, the largest plant of the kind In. the United States, and the property of the glucose trust, was closed down today SR3H39 Gj MraHESE EfSBi Indefinitely. The plant employed about 1200 hands. The management asserts that the works were closed down to admit of the placing of a new scale, and will be shortly started, but this story is not cred ited here. A DENVER OUTRAGE. Pattern-Mnlcer Maltreated and Told to Leave the Country. DENVER. Sept. 10. William I. Wright, eaid to be a special organizer of the Pattern-Makers League "of North America, is under arrest In this city, on charges of kidnaping and highway robbery. He is accused of complicity in the kidnaping of C. W. Walters, a pattern-maker, last Saturday night. Walters was forcibly seized by half a dozen men, .thrown into a covered wagon and driven 10 miles Into the country. All his clothing was removed, and he was told that unless he left Denver forever he would be killed. A rope was placed about his neck, and he was threatened with Instant death. After his clothes had been returned to him he was struck across the back IS times with a rope. Walters charges that, the abductors robbed him of his watch and $C3, but says that the watch was returned to him. He charges that a plot had been formed to drive himself and W. J. Hudson out of the city, and that Wright led him into the trap set for him. Wright denies Walters charges, and de clares that he was working to secure a revocation of the order expelling Walters and Hudson from the Pattern-Makers' Union. Wright came from Butte. Mont., two months ago, and has been working at his trade in this city. A Wyoming Tragedy. CODY. Wyo., Sept. 10. News has been received here from Thermopolis that a clothing solicitor from Billings, Mont., named Walters, shot and killed Mrs. A. L. Hoover, of Otto, afterwards shooting himself and cutting his throat. It appears that he had been Infatuated with the woman, who objected to his at tentions. Meeting her on the street, he made a proposal of marriage. She re fused, and he commenced shooting at her, tne second bullet ending her life, while she was endeavoring to escape. Walters then shot himself, and afterward cut his throat. He Is yet alive, but will die. His victim was a wealthy middle-aged widow, conducting a large store at Otto. e FIRE AT SALT LAKE. Oregon Short Line Building Was De stroyed. SALT LAKE, Sept. 10. The two-story brick building extending from 212 to 222 South West Temple street, in which were located the general offices of the Oregon Short Line Railway, was completely de stroyed by fire early this morning. The fire originated in the basement or the Mine & Smelter Supply Company, oc cupying the west half of the ground floor. Shortly after the firemen arrived, an explosion of dynamite, a small quantity of which was stored in the basement, blew out most of the south wall and part of tho front of the building, four firemen being cut by flying glass. Assistant Chief McCarthy was severely injured. The ex plosion wrecked the vault in the chief engineer's office of the Short Line Rail way, and nearly all the records of the roqui, including the plans of the new Salt Lake-Los Angeles extension, were lost. For a time the six-story Dooly Block, to the north, and the new High School building, adjoining on the west, were In danger of destruction, but the fire was Anally got under control with but slight damage to those buildings. The loss will probably approximate 5250.000. The Ore gon Short Line offices will be moved Into the Dooly block temporarily. It would be difficult for any one oufelde of. tho Short Line Company to estimate what it has lost in the fire. It had many very valuable records stored in the dif ferent parts of the building, upon which no money value could be placed.
