Crop and Weather Bulletin. December, January and February had mild temperatures and about normal precipitation. November and March were the coldest on record. The latter part of Novem ber had a phenomenal freeze, which did some damage to fruit-trees; the freeze came before the sap had re treated to the roots, hence the dam age. March was cold, cloudy and rainy, with snow in the mountains. West of the Cascades and in the Columbia river valley the mean temperature in March averages from 38 to 42 degrees; over the Plateau Region it ranged from 28 to 35 degrees. These temperatures are from 3 to 7 degrees below the March normal. The precipitation for March was, rain west of the Cas cades, and rain or snow to the east of them; the total was from 2 to 9 inohf", Ninr grmtt as usual, along the coast. The snowfall was heavier than usual, especially in the mountains. There was not suffi cient sunshine and heat to cause vegetation to grow during March. The season is very late. On this day, April 5, there is no fruit in bloom, except in a few especially favored locations; in no section is there any general bloom. The dates of general blooming over the state, except of course in the Plateau Region, have been as follows: 1889, March 22; 1890, April 2; 1891, March 28; 1892, April 2; 1893, April 19; 1894, March 29; 1895, March 25; 1896, March 23; 1897, no bloom on April 5. Late devel opment of fruit buds is favoiable to good fruit yields. WESTERN OREGON. Weather Showery weather, with temperatures below the average, prevailed during the past week. The mean temperature was 44 de grees, and the rainfall varied from three-quarters of an inch to one inch 1 ana a quarter, r rost occurred on March 30 and April 2. Sunshine prevailed to some extent on several days. Crops. The weather was un favorable to growth of vegetation and unfavorable .to farm work. The 1 fall sown grain is in fairly good con- dition The winter season was not favorable to plowing, and the result is there is not the acreage of grain , Onmmtt t 1, 4- a, I 4. 4.1. C I .. wai ur.ua. at uns usou 01 me year, vonsiueraoie seeding was done in February. Some corres pondents report that oats was frozen out by the November freeze; this condition is not general. The tem perature the latter part of November was not below 1 6 degrees abqye zero, and it lasted but a short time, so that general freezing out is im possible. Owing to the unfavorable conditions during the past five months, the spring-sown grain will have a greater acreage than usual. Grain can safely lie sown in Oregon up to the middle of May, and fair crops, 15 bushels per acre of wheat, ami more, have been gathered from grain sown as late as June 1. Late sowing is, however, hazardous Fruit. The fruit crop was, in a comparative sense, a failure last year. The trees had a phenomenal growth; new wood from 8 to 15 feet long has been frequently re ported. The cool weather of March ha.'? delayed budding, and the result is all correspondents report "pros pects for a big fruit crop - never more promising." Many acres of fruit trees have been set out during the winter, and many acres of young orchards will come into bearing this year. Frune, pear, apple and cherry trees have been the most extensively set out. The buds are swelling. In the southern counties some almond and apricot trees are in bloom, and in some sheltered places elsewhere cherry trees are taking color. Stock. The stock is not in prime condition. The cold rains of March did not allow the pastures to recover, the result is feed is somewhat scarce; a few days of warm weather will furnish new food. Lambing has commenced. Among those declaring intentions of citizenship at Astoria the other day were Mr. Dimitsi Kinipiperis Epamnondor Logotestis and Mr. Nicholas Kinipiperis. Other ap plicants were crowded over to the next day. At the coming city election in Woodburn the question of female suffrage at municipal elections will be again submitted to the people. The question was voted on there two years ago and was defeated by only three votes. Astoria is certainly ahead of the procession. It has enacted an ordinance against spitting on the streets, and another legalizing gam bling houses. We suppose a man will have to go to the river to spit in that city. One crooked $20 gold piece has come into the possession of the Lane county tax collector four times this season. In other words, it has already paid the taxes of four men, and promises to pay many more before the rolls close, says the Eugene Guard. It is again stated that PDrtland is to have another morning paper in opposition to the Oregonian. It is said that the Evening Tribune of that place will come out as a morn ing paper about the 15th inst. The rumor seems to have been started by the San Francisco Examiner, which leads many to believe that that paper has an interest in the a flail. Laura A. Harris, of Eugene, has brought suit against the board of! iudtres at the late school election nn I account of the refusal tQ al,owj women to vote.

For the next five years there is going to he good profits in cattle, sheep and goats" This is not a result of con fidence or tariff, but one of the natural laws; simply a case where the supply does not equal the de mand. The hard times of the past few years have played havoc with the stock interests. It has almost devastated the ranges of stock cattle. Everything was sold off that would bring a dollar in money until the ranges and farms were cleaned bare of stock cattle. It will take at least five years to restock the ranges. While that process is go ing on stock is bound to bring a good price. The Springfield Republican, in ; sPeakinS of the senatorial fiasco in Oregon uses the following pointed language: "These senatorial elec tion deadlocks are disgraceful, and are becoming more and more fre quent. The situation in Oregon out of which Mr. Corbett's ap pointment grows was one of anarchy and scandalous altogether. A state whose senatorial election ma chinery has so far broken down through the miserable little squab bles of persons and factions that it cannot reach a conclusion in the manner clearly provided by the constitution is a state which has earned an empty seat in the United States senate and should be given one."
