Crop and weather conditions In Oregon in the. past week ar aummarlzed by the "Weather Bureau aa follows: "The week wa one of variable tempera tures, very cool during the opening days, and with maximum temperaturea of 100 de crees or above during the latter part. While the unusual ralna. heavy In places, were of considerable benefit to late crops, they greatly Interfered with seasonal work and caused considerable damage to hay and grain which was ready for harveit. ' 'Barley waa only a fair crop In moat fields and waa not yielding aa well aa ex pected In Wallowa County. The threahing of oata continued to show poor yields. The previous unusually dry season largely re duced the yield of Spring wheat. Threah ing of Winter wheat was greatly delayed by raina In northeastern counties. Showers aiso interfered with harvest In late fields, where the grain Is becoming very ripe and fears are entertained that It will shell badly If not soon gathered. Some smut was observed In occasional fielda In Umatilla County, and the moisture is proving dele terious to the crop in Sherman County Yields, as a rule, are light and not up t the average of former years, but the qualit Is generally good. Corn made splendid growth, la looking remarkably well since the recent raina, and prospects are brigh for an excellent crop. "Raina also retarded stacking and housin the second cutting of alfalfa and clover I astern districts, and cauaed some damage to hay in Baker, Union and Wallowa coun tlea. A very ahort third crop of alfalfa ready to cut in Jackson County. Rains ha revived the gras on hill ranges, and wit continued favorable conditions they sAould furnish good Fall pasturage. Where showers occurred there haa been a marked Improve ment In paaturea and livestock consequent! Is faring better, although some farmers are bringing their cattle In from the range to feed, owing to abort grazing. "Prune picking and drying will begin next week in Douglas and Linn counties, which is about two weeks' earlier than th average time for this work. Many orchards Indicate a very heeavy yield, but only fair la others, of excellent quality. Bartlett pears are being harvested In the more northerly counties and picking of the later varieties will begin In Jackaon County about September 1. The fruit aituation in Hood River County la promising. "Lata potatoes made good growth and In some loealltlea will .make a flna crop, bu the early plantings ahow only poor to fair yields. Beana are developing very well In Douglas and I, Inn counties, but there wil bo a short crop In Josephine County on ac count of 'Mosaic' Hoppicking haa Just begun in Linn County.

The City Council is preparing: to as sume charge of the dogr pound, now op erated by the Oregon Humane Society, and Mayor Baker yesterday instructed City Attorney LaRoche to prepare an ordinance taking; possession of the pound on September 1. Taking over the city pound was forced by refusal of the majority of the Council to approve a plan submit ted by the Oregon Humane Society for their continued operation. Commissioners Blgelow and Barbur maintained that the operation of the pound should not be delegated to out side bodies, but Mayor Baker favored allowing the society to continue in operation. City Commissioner Barbur suggested that the plan now used in connection with the operation of the I.os Angeles dog pound be investigated. In Los Angeles the City Commissioner in charge of the pound appoints an avis ory board of five members who work without compensation and virtually are iH full power of the policy of the pound operation. A conference will be held today with members of the Human Society when the Los Angeles plan wi be discussed. Am Beet American Am Oar i American Loco Am Sm & Kef-. Am fctigar Rel;. Am Tel & Tel. .
