9 FIELDS ARE SOAKED Cool Weather Has Greatly Benefited the Wheat. . PRIME CROP OF BARLEY Small Fruit Yield Will Be Smaller in AVasco, but the Quality AVill lie Far Above the Average. THE DAIJ.K3, Or.. June 6. (Special.) The cool weather of the past week, to gether with the continued rain, have made a great change In the hopes and fears of the wheat farmers In this, sec tion. Those whoe crops are In Spring grain now feel that they are on Easy street, while the Kail drain that escaped the March freeze Is flourishing. Tuesday a soaking rain fell all day, carrying joy to the heart of the farmer whose acres were sown to grain? The re seeded barley crop is also in prime con dition. Fruit throughout the county will fall short somewhat in quantity, particularly the strawberry and peach yield. Fruit raisers report that what is lost in quan tity is already showing again in quality, is both cherries now ripening and peaches are larger and finer than usual.

In this respect the improvement is more noticeable than on the level lands, though the crop is excellent In all localities. The wheat is headed out well and promises a heavy yield. There is an increased acreage of barley this year and a fine crop. Oats are very heavy. The aphis and Hessian fly are only in a few places and bothering only wheat. Apples are a heavy crop and clean; prunes are also fine.- The berry crop Is greatly lessened by the continued rains. Hops are unusually thrifty and clean of vermin. Pastures and meadows are the best In years. Vetgetables are all doing well. The agricultural prospects In this valley were never brighter than now. Rain Soaks Into Ground. SPOKANE, Wash.. Juno S (Special.) From all sections of the Spokane country come optimistic reports of the condition of cereal crops.

Rains have continued at Intervals during the last seven days, but not so copious as to interfere with farm work. The -air has been cool and little mois ture, has evaporated, so the ground has absorbed all the rain, liven in spots where It was feared the rain had beaten down the growing wheat the plants have sprung' up again. The Oregonlan reports Include the Big Rend, all of Central Washington and the Palouse: Camas and Nez Perces Prairies. Pntlatch and Iatah Counties in Idaho. The fruit has not fared so wen, but there will be a fair yield this year. Storm Benefited the Crops. PENDLETON'. Or.. June 6. (Special.) Umatilla County crops have profited by the recent storms, generally speaking, 'houish some sections have suffered heavy toss. In the wheat belt and on high lands the conditions seldom have been better for a heavy yield and a sure harvest. On the lowlands, however, in the flooded districts, the present outlook la gloomy, though the ultimate effect will not be detrimental. Many acres of alfalfa have been ruined, and fields spoiled for Immediate Irriga tion, but the land has been covered with several inches of rich silt, which will in crease Its value. The wheat Is In good condition and now promises a normal yield. Stock suffered by reason of the flood and storm, but outside of the sheep loss but little damage was done. nl railicr for Small Fruits.

ERADEO AS PILOT SEATTLE SHIP CHANDLER RUN NER DECEIVES MASTER. Nearly Runs Norwegian Stcamsliip Hercules Ashore, Before De ception Is Discovered. SEATTLE, Wash., June 6.(9ecial.) Representing himself to be a Puget Sound pilot, but in reality knowing no more about the management of a big steamship than the most seasick landlub ber, Harry S. Garfield, a runner for J. & R. Wilson, ship chandlers, boarded the Norwegian steamship Hercules1 off Dun genness and almost succeeded In wreck ing the vessel off West Point light before the amazed captain could regain control of his vessel and steer her away from the rocks. Shipping men all along the Sound who have heard of the reckless act of the runner are astonished. They cannot un derstand the man's motive. The only possible explanation Is that he sought to be the first runner aboard in order to secure whatever business there might be for his firm. The laws forbid anyone except a pilot and customs and quaran tine offlcers to board a vessel until she has been properly cleared. But that a man who, If he knew anything at all of the sea, should have known that he could not manage a vessel, should have broken the pilot and' quarantine laws and endangered the safety of the vessel and her crew to such an extent la beyond their comprehension. As a result of Garfield's escapade the vessel Is liable to a fine of JjOO for carry ing passengers, for Garfield, not holding papers, cannot be held as anything but a passenger. Captain Bjerck is also wor ried, fearing he may be subject to pun ishment, and Garfield is liable to be held on three charges, namely: Impersonating a pilot, attempting to secure money under false pretenses and unnecessarily placing property and lives in danger.

Not ir as Rich as Rockefeller. If you had all the wealth of Rockefeller, the Standard Oil magnate, you could not buy a better medicine for bowel com plaints than Chamberlain's Colic.

The uniform suc cess of this remedy has shown it to be superior to all others. It never fails, and when reduced with water and sweetened. is pleasant to take. Every family should be supplied with it.

GOVERNOR WIRES GEARIN Urged to Present State's Claims, as Oregon Legislative Fund Will Then Not Be Available lor the Work. SALEM, Or.. June 6. (Special.) Governor Chamberlain today sent the following letter to Senator Gearin at Washington : "I have just wired you as follows: 'Am Informed appropriation of $200,- 000 for hydrographic surveys cut one half. State appropriation of $2500 not available without Government appro priation. Urge restoration of appro propriation. Stream measurements es sential for state's development. Letter today." 'I now confirm said telegram. 'In explanation thereof permit me to say that I have been informed that the usual appropriation of J20J.J00 for stream gauging work in the United States has been cut to $100,000, prob ably upon the assumption that the Re clamation Service should take care of this work in the western part of the United States.' "During the past four years, and since the passage of the reclamation act. $230,000 . has been appropriated each year. During this time $2000 has been allotted to Oregon annually. At the legislative session of 1903 co-operation was provided to the extent of $2503, contingent upon the Government mak ing an equal appropriation for similar work in this state, thus making: in all $5000 for stream measurement and other hydrographic work in Orejron. "If the Government appropriation Is cut down and no money allotted to Ore gon except from the reclamation fund, the absence of the Government appro priation will make It impossible to util ize the state appropriation of $2500. "In addition to the $5000 now being spent by the state and Government in co-operation, the Reclamation Service has been spending annually something over"$7000 in preliminary hydrographic investigations, which are absolutely es sential in any undertaking of Irriga tion or power development, whether by the Government or by private enter prise. Much of the Government hydro graphic work has been discontinued except under the more feasible pro jects, as the money thus expended can never be returned to the reclamation fund. "For this reason, their preliminary Investigations are only carried long enough to determine the feasibility of the project, and most of the hydro graphic work of the Reclamation Serv ice will be discontinued In the near fu ture. As streams fluctuate from year to year, records of discharge should extend over a considerable period in order to be of much value, and outside capital will not begin construction of any Important or-extensive work with out th'.s Information. ' "The knowledge of the available or surplus water supply of this state Is as essential for record and publication as Is that of our state or public lands. 1 would urge, therefore, that you en deavor to restore the appropriation to the usual amount of $200,000. in order that Oregon may receive its usual share of $2530. which is necessary in order that our state appropriation of an equal amount may become available. "I will be glad to have you take this matter up with Senator Fulton and trust that together you will do all in your power to restore the appropriation to the usual amount." Senators Asked to Act. PENDLETON, Or., June 8. (Special.) At the regular monthly meeting of the Commercial Association held tonight, it was decided to wire the two Oregon Senators, asking them to use their in fluence to prevent the reduction in the appropriation for stream-gauging.
