" The salmon fishing eeason closes Au

on the part of eome of the cannery men,
especially on the lower Colombia,
by reason of the shart catch this year,
to secure an extension of the fishing
season for a period of twenty days, bnt
it is not believed this effort will succeed.
Public sentiment is opposed to . it, as

BIENNIAL REPORT
BEING PREPARED
SECRETARY KINCAIO BUSILY EN
GAGED PREPARING THEM.
It Will Be tlie Most Complete Report
Yet Presented to any Legislature.
WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Issued Weekly by the United States
Weather Bureau Under the Super
vision of It. 8. Fasue.
Very warm weather, with a cloudless
Eky, has prevailed during the week.
Harvesting is progressing in all sections
of the stale. Fall-sown wheat is turn
ing out as was expected, and the expec
tations were high. Harvesting of spring-
sown wheat has commenced, and that
which has been threshed shows excel
lent results. In sections of the Willam
ette valley, a considerable portion of the
oats has been cut for bay. Harvesting
of spring-sown grain will not be general
for a week or more. The weather has
not injured the grain crop, and some
correspondents report the crop better
than ever before; this applies to quality
as well as quantity. Grain harvesting
will continue for six weeks longer. In
some localities of Eastern Oregon, there
are reports of spring-sown grain shrivel
ing to some extent; this condition is
not general, and practically applies on
ly to those sections where the raising of
wheat is hazardous even under the most
favorable circumstances. The hay crop
is housed or is being baled. The second
crop ot alfalfa is being cut. The dry
weather is not favorable for the second
crop of clover, though so far it has not
been injured. The wheat aphis which
has been reported from the Willamette
valley counties, ia disappearing under
the influence of the clear, warm
weather.
Peach plums are fully ripe, and large
shipments to eastern points are being
made. Early peaches are ripe and are
being shipped. Watermelons and black
berries are verv plentiful. The apple
and pear crops are making good growth
and progress. The hop lice have been
checked by the warmth. The hops are
making good growth ; spraying is being
actively pushed in all good yards. The
current weather . is beneficial to the
growth and development of sugar beets.
Vegetables are making a good growth.
The potato crop promises to be very
large. Corn is silking out and is much
benefited by the warm weather.
There are no adverse conditions known
or reported. The grain, hay, fruit and
vegetable crops are, or promise to be.
very large, and many .crops now await
only to be gathered.

Secretary of State II. R. Kincaid is
now preparing matter that will appear
in his next biennial report to tbe legis
lature. His last report was bound in
book form and contained 514 pages. Be
sides setting out the abstract of warrants
and business transactions of the state,
it embodied biographical sketches of the
state officials to date, and the roster of
the nineteenth legislative assambly.
Mr. Kincaid's last report was the full
est that has yet been published. The
one now under preparation will be more
complete.
Besides the abstract of warrants and j
tabulated statement of state transactions
it will contain historical data from the
arrival of McLaughlin in the territory in
1823, to date.
It will also contain a list of the mem
bers and officers of all the territorial or
provisional meetings, and legislatures,
beginning with the meeting held Febru
ary 17, 1841, when Rev. Jason Lee pre
sided ; a roster of every state legislature,
and a list of all state and territorial
officers, including those of the various
state institutions.
The length of term, date when induct
ed into office, and date of expiration of
term of each offiicial will be shown. A
biographical sketch of each, where ob
tainable will be supplied.
Preparation of the matter has been
going on at intervals for several months,
and the work brought up to the year
18G0. It :s Mr. Kincaid's intention to
have the work so in hand that it can be
printed and presented to the legislature
in tbe early part of its session.
It has occurred in times past that the
secretary's report was not in on time, f
The general appropriation bill cannof
well be prepared until the secretary
report is to be had, and the record?
show that resolutions have betn adopted
calling for it.

About one month ago my child, which
ia fifteen months old, had an attack of
diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I
gave it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for a physician and it was
under his care for a week. At this time
the child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty-five
operations of tbe bowels every twelve
hours, and we were convinced that un
less it soon obtained relief it would not
live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended,
and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a
change for the better; by its continued
use a complete cure was brought about
and it is now perfectly healthy. C. L.

Deafness Cannot be Cared
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of th9 mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taker
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cass out of ten are cause
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. .
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused By catarrh
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free. .
