The harvest is onlv about one-third
over, and perhaps hardly that. The re
cent warm winds will cause some of the
very late spring sown grain to shrivel,
and will cause some loss in the cutting
of the fall grain, on account of the latter
shattering.
The wheat crop of the United States
is estimated this year at 575,000,000
' bushels, and the rise of 5 cents a bushel
day before yesterday added $30,000,000
to its value, and that means as much as
is expected to be taken from the Klon
dike next year.
And now the scientists have turned
their attention to the great lakes, and
assert that in the course of time, they do
not say how long, the Niagara will cease
to carry the lake waters to the ocean,
bnt that they will break through from
Lake Michigan and empty into the Mis
sissippi. It would be an easy matter to
divert the flow into the canal now build
ing from Chicago to the waters of the
Mississippi, and so leave all Canada
without water transportation on the St.
Lawrence.
Last Friday morning a cow belonging
to Westley Bailey, a farmer who resides
on H. Debus' place, a few miles from
Walla Walla, accidentally fell into a
sixty-foot well which was being used for
a garbage dump. It was at first sup
posed that the animal had been killed
by the fall, but her loud bellowing soon
proved the contrary. It required nine
boors of labor with a derrick and two
horses to release the unfortunate, but
when she was brought to the surface
she appeared but little the worse for
wear, and immediately began munching
grass.
L. C. Coleman -returned to Jackson

While at that city he bad four sugar
beets, raised on Griffin creek, analyzed
at the Spreckels refinery. The result
showed that they averaged ten ounces in
weight, contained 16.53 per cent of sugar
and co-efficient of purity of 85 per cent,
the percentage of saccharine matter is
high, especially as the beets are not ma
tured. Those1 containing 14 per cent
sugar, with a co-efficient purity of over
80 per cent, are considered good. Should
beets raised in other parts of Jackson
county turn out equally well, a factory
may be put up in the near future.
Cyrus G. Harwood of Milton was in
town the other day, having nearly re
covered from a peculiar misfortune that
nearly cost him his life. He had been
at Meacbam, and was driving down the
mountain toward Pendleton, when some
insect lit upon his hand. He brushed
it away and was shocked by a sudden
sting. In a few minutes be fell from his,
wagon, crazed with pain. He was
found on the road unconscious and con
veyed to a mountain house, where be
was sick for several days and came near
to death's door. As soon as be could
bear removal he was taken to bis borne
at Milton, and has since grown stronger.
Mr. Harwood has no idea what the
ing was that bit bim, as he did not
ee it when be brushed it off. He can
nlyj theorize that it may have been
some poisonous spider that made its
home in the brush along the roadside.

warrants "only for such expenditures as
are clearly authorized by the statutes."
It appears that the governor's "sal
ary" is made up of the following items :
alary, authorized by the constitution,
00; prison inspector, $500 ; asylum
stee, $500; domestic animal commis-
$2g0; trustee mute school, $250;
stee reform school, $250; expenses
um trustee, $100; supervising pub
ic works, $1000. Total $4350.
The three items, supervising public
authorized by statute," so it is said that
the' governor will loss them unless he
consents to call an extra session of the
legislature to meet the requirements.
School Fund Apportionment.
Below we give the apportionment of
ate Bchool fund and county school fund
Wasco county, for August, 1897:
e total number of children in the
ntv between the ages of four and
ntv years is 3983. The total amount
portioned was $9505.87. being $4142.32
state funds and $5363 55 county funds,
making $1.04 and $1.35 per capita respectively.
District school clerks should receipt
for their warrant immediately on the
enclosed card and keep the amount of
each fund separate for the purpose of
the annual school report.
The following.clipped from the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, tells of still another
steamer for the Yukon :
"Mr. Hamilton yesterday received a
telegram from the Chicago office of the
North American Transportation & Trad
ing Company, instructing him to reserve
space on -either the Portland or the
Cleveland for the material to build a
steel steamer for the Yukon river fleet
of the company. The ribs and plates
will come ready to be riveted together,
and the work has been almost completed
in Chicago. The idea of the steel steam
er, Mr. Hamilton says, is that of light
draught and quick building, all that is
necessary in construction after arriving
at Fort Get There, the place where the
boat -will be put together, being- the riv
eting of the plates to the frames. The
dispatch said that Edward Boomings
would come out with the material and
superintend the building. The new
steamer is already named the Captain
John C. Barr. It is not expected that
she will be ready to take any part in
this year's business. She is to be 125
feet long and 28 feet beam, her dead
weight in a knock-down condition being
100 tons.
The Governor's Salary.
The decision of the supreme court
compelling the secretary of state to audit
claims against the state, is a blow to
Governor Lord, whose perquisites will
be reduced by it $1800 a year, as the
decision says the secretary shall draw
