T" , ' , , ,.,,, EditorialR'the Register ovevioei the matter in ciamung'tnat crops iao 'nested wuaoiif ram in Yamhill, as follows:.ThOiewho were; so much surnrise'dat our remarks over a mouth ago,kwheu we stated that we had visited al most' all sections'of thejconnty andi'gave it as touri opinion thai "thecroprprospect at Jhat time mdicatejd over, rather thaii under,' an average yield. That the early grain would be good without any more rain, are now much more surprised at the large yield. Not only the early grain is making a good yield, but much also of late grain that has not had a drop of rain on it, will make a fair crop. Many intelligent persons who thought our idea preposterous, and contended that, we would not have a fourth of a crop, now see that our prediction has been verified in every respect. Our opinion was based upon theap pearcnee ot the crops', .while those who were so dispondent based thrir opinions mainly oo the ground that wheat would not mature without rain occasionally. It has now been learned, that where the ground is put in good order, that Oregon will produce a fair crop without any rain, for we know of a number of fields of wheat that has no rain since it was sowed, that is good height, well beaded and is filling well, and will make a fair yield. No other country in the world will do'it. LINN COUNTY. Tho Albany Democrat says. Yesterday, Mr. Thomas Alphine, oi Miller's, brought us some specimens of wheat deserving of more than ordinary notice. A bunch rof white wheat frozen out looked fine, and one cluster consisted of twenty-eight stalks all from one grain. Two clusters of May sowing which many have said was ruined, contained 79 stalks from two grainsone having 41 and other 38. This takes the lead. As the har vest advances theprospecs grow blighter and brighter for a go d wheat crop, and reports from different parts of the country would in dicate that the farmers have little to com plain of in that respect. What the price will be it is impossible to state now. It is bound to start out at least better than last year, but it is such an nncertam matter that prediction is useless, and we shall not attempt to turn prophet. A sample of wheat from the farm of A. Pearce on the opposite side of the river from this city has been left at this office. It is of the Chili club variety, and is the finest sample we havo seen this season. It is thought it will make 45 to 50 bushels per acre. While people are grumbling about the smoke there is little deubt.that it has been a good' thing for the crops, by keeping too much heat from the wheat. Had it not been for it it is asserted that the ground would have been baked much more than it is. A specimen of wheat from the farm of Mat Scott was re ceived last Monday. It was of the Kinney variety, and considering the fact that it was frozn out last fall and has sines beendrowned and burned up, it looks uncommonly well. Had these calamities not befallen it, it would have yielded forty bushels to the acre. The wheat crop in Linn county this year is going to be far better than was feared a sfort time ago, aays the Albany Herald, The grow ing erop has reached that stage that the out come can be more confidently predicted. All grain sown in February and March, not drowned out or on low land, will yield prob ably 80 per cent, of an average crop. Grain sown in May will not pay for cutting, and will reduce the per cent, from 80 to 70 and likely to 66 of an average crop. The Albany Herald has the following: On Tuesday J. H. Wilson, of Halsey, brought into our office a sample, of winter wheat known as the blue velvet w inter wheat. The heads are long, heavy and well filled and the straw is rank and of large growth. Mr. Wil eon discovered a few heads in his growing wheat four years ago, and has succeeded in getting several acres of it at the present date. Prom its appearance and heft it is destined to be sought after by those who desire a first class quality of wheat, and a kind that will yield largely. LANE COUNTY. The Eugene Guard says: We understand that the grain in this county is rilling in good shape. It is confidently asserted by many of our farmers that we will have a fair crop, iwhile less than ten days ago m my of them did not think we would have half a crop. What country in the world could staada drouth of seventy five days and still raise good crops. Oregon beats the world) JACkSOH COUNTY. The Jacksonville Sentinel says: Notwith standing the dry seisin there appears to be an ample supply of wheat in this valley. Millers, dtcline to otftr more than eighty-five cents per bushel, feeling confident tbat they can buy all they want at tbat figure. The fruit crop it very good. In Ashland and Eden precinta and on the Rogue river the the peach crop is very heavy, but owing to the distance necessary to haul, cone of it will j find its way to this market this year. In the near future we may. however, expect an abundant supply of fine peaches from this region. Eastern Oregon. UMATILLA COUNTY. A. correspondent of a Pendleton paper writes from Middle Cold Spring: Harvesting has begun in good earnest this week? Fall wheat wilfyield well, and'is of N6T1 quality. Umatilla county has proved herself to be the greatest wheat producing country in the United States, and I want all the world to know itj Ifttie.,fa,rmfTs can get a good price for the ryWheat.thejrlc'an 'square up matters tnis year and PS tree ana independent A Heppner.eprrespondent of the Kant Ore- gonian says: v Farmers are still busy harvest . , e - v , ing. From every source v comes the intelli gence that the hill lands,-the -low lands, the plains and valleys need Vonly the application of the hand of industry to raake'.this taking into consideration our salubrious climate one of thebest'agricultural and 'most delight ful countries in the world, In a few years, we think, that our sand plains and sagebrush will be converted into grain fields and gar dens rivalling'those of California. The (Ccntervilloi Examiner f says : Never sin;o Lewis arid Clark seffootj in Umatilla county has there been 'such a vast display of grain fields al atfthe present time. The first exclamation from travelers passing through the country is""Magnific6nt I Glorious ! In deed hero we have .found, hat whioh we have long sought in vain in other countries, a soil that with) prcperi care and cultivation will make the poorest man wealthy in a few years." Here is a climate always equable and mild. None of the sunstrokes so common in the East. To-day in every direction from the beautiful city of Centerville is heard the hum of the header and the whir of the thrasher as the busy farmer gathers in his golden train, under skies with a temperature of oven below 70 degrees. We have heard'of large fields of gra n that are averaging fifty bushels to the acre. What country ,under the sun will com pare with this f v The Heppner Gazette savs : Harvesting on the creek bottom lands in this section has been going on for some time, and the J it-Id in all cases has been very satisfactory. The grain put in on hill lands and raised for hay has rjeen mostly cut and yielded Irom two to three tons per acre. That intended for grain is now being cut in some places, while be tween Heppner and the timber it will not be ripe enough to cut for Irom one to three weeks vet. At Mr. Cunninghame's Newton ranch, 'four miles from Heppner. the wheat is doing very well, and extensive preparations are being made for harvesting. At D. A. Herren's hill ranch at the head of Wallace canyon the grain is flourishing, and gives certain promise of an abundant yield. The hill sou holds its moisture wonderlully well and although we have had no ra;n for about sixty-eight days, the grain shows no signs of drying out or burning up". In' the Bennefield settlement, eight miles north of Heppner, amea uepuy is as worst wun air. iuuuiug name's thresher. Fall w heat in that se tion will avetiee about twenty bushels to the acre on new bunchgras land. The cultivation of these hills has been tried as an experiment this year. It is now regarded as a success. A very large area.wt 1 be put in this fall, and about next year this section will begin to I ave a surplus ot gram tor export. A correspondent of the WallaWalla States man writes from Milton : As so many people have been expecting poor crops on account of the dry season, I will give you the result of the first harvesting in our precinct : A field of one hundred acres of barley owned by our townsman, 8. A. Kicky, yielded 3, 840 J bush els, or nearly 33 bushels per acre. Mr. Kicky is about six miles southeast from Milton in Eut Hollow. Mr. Wm. Talbers has just threshed 80 acres of fall sown wheat, turning out 2,567 bushels, or a fraction over 32 bush els per acre. There Is some late spring wheat tbat will be cut for hay, but we shall have mare than an average crop here this season. Harvest hands are not very plenty. The Weston Leader says :'Mr. Jake Clarke has threshed 1,238 bushels of barley from 28 acres of land: Marcellus Brvion 712 bushels of barley from 15 acres, and Joe Morgan 854 busbeli ot barley Irom lij acres, ihis is machine measure and will weigh out a great deal more. MUST COUNTY. Th Grant County Uttvc says : The crop thronghout Grant county are generally good this season. The hay crop is now being har. vested and is fully up to the average, although pot quite so heavy as it was last year, uram oi an Kinds is gooa, ana win oe much heavier than last seasi n. Except in a tew fields where facilities for irrigation do not exist and where the crop has been injured by the dry summer'weather. the yield will prob ably be one-third more than last season. The uuib crvj is atir.oat a janure. ui unpics, jjcaib and plums there will be a few. Peaches are all killed. UNION COUNTY. The Sentinel aays : In traveling over the county we find the probable crop yMd at least one-third better than haa been reported. TheSandridge country, w here it is impossible is irrigate, nas a nne crop an tnrouga, coo aidi-ring the late dry weather. Indian valley will fall considerably short, having been in jured more than any other portion of the val ley by drouth. The hay yield is good, much better thon last year, and we feel confident in sajiog that Union comity this year will have a large surplus of grain. PORTLAND, OREGON, WASCO COUNTY. The Times-Monntaineer says : Last week Hons. W. Lair Hill and Robert Mays re turned from a trip into the country, and brought back very favorable reports ot the crop outlook. These two' gentlemen jour neyed throughout the county and thoroughly canvassed the crop prospect", arid were ex tremely Well satisfied with the yield of the present harvest. They we're greatly encour aged as regards the future of this county, and pronounce itan agricultural section. The ker nel of the wheat is well filled, and the yield Eer acre will be above an average. This has een an unusually drysummer, and in almost every instance the uplands will be more pro ductive than the bottoms. Immigrants, be fore proceeding further, should examine the (lands still vacant in Wasco county, and they win una as aesiraoie ooiiom locations tor set tlement as anywhere. Eastern Washington Territory. .SPOKANE fOUNTY. Col. Jesse Parker, of Snltese Lake, tire J sented for our inspection this week a splendid illustration of what Spokane soil iscapablo of doing in defiance of the six week's drouth. A specimen of Big Club wheat, sown on the li-t nt April, is about ready to harvest, and snows plump, p. rfect berry. A hunch of the Gold Dust variety, sown tho 10th of Mav on bot tom land, five feet in hiorht and filling out finely, is good enough for any season. Speci mens of Russian oats and oi timothy over five feet in height, were satisfactory evidence that the country is going to stand up for its repu tation and have something on which to feed the incoming immigrants. Col. Parker says tliat a piece of the same land six acres produced 1,800 buhels of potatoes last year. Spolane Chronicle. A correspondent of the Walla Walla States man writes from Spokane county : We hae hrard so much raid about failure of crops this season that I take pleasure in sending you a samble of barley, raised on sod, and sowed June 1st, and has not had a drop of rain. 1 his is a fair sample of fifteen acres, raised on the ranch of Tom J. Drumbeller, four nV'es north of Steven;, Spokanx county. The Cheney Tribune says: O. A. Lance, one of our old settlers and sncce'sful farmers, informs us that his entire crop, both fall and spring sowing, will yield forty bushels per acre Hon D. F. Percival has a large field of fall wheat on his Rock creek farm tnatwill yield forty bushels to the acre. Mr, Patter son, living near Spangle, says his crops will be better than last year, and is well satisfied with the prospects of his yield. The cool nights for the last week were very favorable to grain, and the general impression now ia that grain is filling well. WALLA WALLA COUNTY. The Walla Walla Statesman says : Har vesting is progressing finely throughout the Northwest, and the prospects for a liberal yield are encouraging. A gentleman thor oughly conversant with the situation informs us concerning the region east of the uas cade mountains, after a thorough oversight of the country on this Bide, that it is very cer tain to conclude that the surplus will be from iou,uuu to isu.uuu tons, van sown grain is invariably turning out well. The Waitsburg Times says : We have re ceived from the farm of Mason McCoy, abcut five miles from town, on Whisky creek, sam ples of the finest wheat and timothy we ever saw in any country. The wheat is from a field of 120 acres of spring sown, which made an average yield of 45 bushels to the acre of the very finest quality. The timothy heads measure eleven and one halt inches, u any body can produce anything better than this let him step forward. (1ARFIELD COUNTY. ThePomeroy Independent ays: The farm ers report tbat their grain is turning out bet ter than we hoped for five weeks ago. J. D. Tyrrel's wheat will average 25 bushels to the acre oq Dry gulch, where it used to be said nothing would grow. This comes from proper cultivation and sowing grain at the opportuno lime. wnen an our farmers adopt snen methods our crops will invariably yield largely in our excellent soils. Says the Independent : If the 35,000 acres of wheat that Mr. Clark says we have, on the authority of Mr. Kauch, yielda as it has be gun so far as threshed, we will have just one million and fifty thousand bushels of that grain. If the 5,000 acres of barley they say we have yields as it has begun, we will have only three hundred thousaud bushels of that grain. The troth of the matter is we will nave a surplus of half a million buabels of wheat, and other grain in proportion. COLUMIIIA COBMY, The Dayton Chronicle says: Mr. William Parker brought ns in a bunch of wheat this morning, grown on his place at the bead of Whetstone hollow, that ia very fine. The field will yield 35 bushels to the acre. Mr. Joseph Crawford brought in aome fine speci mens of his grain, grown about three miles from Dayton, on the ridge between Mustard hollow and I'atlt creek. The heads are ver) lare and are filled with plump, heavy g ain It will probably go near 40 buhls to the acre. Mr. Wm. Nixon also brought in two samples to day that are magnificent. The heads are long, well filled and plump. One stool, raised from a single seed, containtd 130 straws; not all producing heads. Howevsr, tne grains grown on tne stool were counter, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1883. and showed that there were TOO in number1, all from a single seed. ' KLICKITAT COUNTY. A Go'dendale correspondent tays ; The harvest season is now in full bloom, and the outcome encouraging, most farmers being agreeably disappointed in the amount and ....i:l &i : :j . ,l HH tjumiby ui me urnin, oumu iu ui 1,110 jiiwa- ent crop may be had when we say that one firm in our town has this aeaan sold fourtoen reapers and five threshing machines, the lat ter costing more than a thousand dollars eactij The Goldcndale Gazette says: The grain crop wil) not be as large as wos,at first anti cipated, but most of it will be better than was thought a month ago. The west winds, which have prevailed most of the time, have, proved an offset to the apparent drouth. It is evnr in mat mucn m our son nas a capacity for resisting the effects of dry weather.

A writer in the Coquille Herald says : Our lumber, coal and farm products are not the onlv resources of our county by any means. Our gold mines have in the past been "worked with profit, and in some localities are prontable to day. Many thousands of dollars have been taken out of Coos county mines and added to the wealth of California, and yet tho bullion that comes from our mines, is constantly finding its way tp our sister State, when' 'of riuht. It ought to- bo diverted into another channel and kept within our own pr-cincts. Our hills and mountains contain much r'c'1 and valuable iron ore, which, together with our coal and timber will, no riouqt, in tne nrar future, form no small item of our inter nal material wealth. Lead of an excellent quality has been dis covered on the Coqnille river,' the ore being very rich and easy of access, being near the line of the proposed railroad from Coos Bay to Roseburg. The iron and lead are altogether undevel oped, farther than to know positively that we have them and in abundance, and thetime is now'at hand that is to decide whether our interests shall he in Oregon or California. As long as our capitalists and business men are Cahfornians, just so long will we be tributary to that State, and almost entirely profitless to Oregon. But let Oregon capital take hold of our mills or build new ones', for there is room for many more than we now have, our mines of coal, iron, lead and gold, our inter eats will then bo identified with our own State, aod while it will make us feel at home. as a county of the State of Oregon, we will prove a source of revenue to the state. I have been nearly thirty one years in Ore gon and Washington Territory, and have done coniderab1e lumbering for the Columbia river mills and thoe on Hhoalwater liay, in Washington Territory, and have a very fair acnuaintance with the timber regions of the Columbia, from the mouth of the Washougal to the sea, and have seen a good deal of the timber lands of l'uget -Sound and ahoalwater Bay. and in' all places have never seen the Coos county forests excelled for density or quality of timber; and indeed the white, or Port Orfonl cedar of Coos county, is, for fine ness and excellenoy for finishing timber, the best we have in Oregon. Trihutirv to the Co quille river alone are millions of feet of that variety of timber, waiting the lumberman's axes and saws; and yearly millions oi leer, oi it are being destroyed by fire. Coal on John Day's. What is supposed to be an extensive bed of coal has lately been discovered on the ranch of William Luce, of John Day river, says the Canyon City News, The vein is about six inches thick on top. On Tnesday last Mr. Luce brought a specimen of this coal to our office, where it may be seen at any time. We understand the bed will be shortly opened up, so as to determine its extent. There is no doubt sb to tho good qualities of the coal, as the croppings burn well and are free from slate. A good coal mine here would prove valuable property in the near futnre, and would materially add to the wealth of tho county, TllUrdi Educational CWt. By a letter received in this city from Henry Villard it is learned that he has re ceived the resolutions adopted by the re gents of the State University accepting his gift of 50,000 in firit mortgage bonds ot the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and that he has tranferred the same to the agent of the regents, Henry Failing. This it the final act in thb matter, and Mr. Villard's donation to the endowment fund of the university U now an accomplished fact. This gift adds to the income of the university $3,000 per vear. The terms of the gift rcqmre that ?I00 of the sum shall be expended anuually on the library of the institution. Larte Mill at Spokane Falls. J, W, Walterhouse, representative of an extensile mill furnishing establishment at Minneapolis and Chicago, returned here yes terday from Spokane Falls, where ho ties made a contract with Messrs. Havirmale & Davis to place the gradual reduction process machinery in the new mill being constructed by them at that place. The mill is to have a capacity of COO barrels a day. The building is now nearly completed and ready for the reception of the machinery. The establish ment it to be in running order by February Its, and will cost $80,000. F(ll!t MOHMU AIESCED. Tho following account of the summary exe cution of J. F. McPherson, for complicity in the murder of E. H. Cummins about a year ago, is taken from the Dayton Chronicle, July 6, extra, published1 at the scene of the exe cution. For several days rumors have been rifeiof the probable lynching of J. F, McPherson f he secured a stay of the proceedings, from the court, , but as there was so much talk we were inclined to think that it was all talk. It was noticed yesterday, however, that ja great many people on' onr (streets who seemed to be engaged in earnest conversa tion wherever a, squad would congregate. In the evening the streets were alive with people but very little was said in! regard to. the murderers. At,ab?ut 10 o'clock a body Of masked men, numbering about sixty per sons, took possession of the publio square, and placed guards around the scaffold aid throughout the square to keepi out siders from interfering. A portion of tho crowd then demanded admittance into the jail yard and upon refusal of tho 'jailor td open the door, a crowbar was procured and the door pried open. The jail guard began shooting, the fire being returned by tho mob who then grabbed tne guard and held them until the work was donei George E. Church who was acting as death watoh, locked the jail door at tho firot alarm and threw th'q key under the step, As tho mob entered the jail they remarked to the guard: "We are not hero to break the law, but to fulfill it. Thit appeal don't go." 1 he jail was then broko'n into and McPherson taken out and asaUted unon tho scaffold, his shackles still upon his feet. and. the rone was Disced around his ncok. and mane last over tne oeam. .is ne moui.iou the scaffold, he exclaimed: , "UEFOIIE OOP I AM INNOCENT, you are hanging an innocent man.'" He begged piteously for mercy ami asked tham to hang Ownbev first, He then offered'up a prayer, when, as soon as he was through, he was1 pushed cfT the scaf fold. The rope was either too long of else it slipped, McPherson striking the side of the trap as he full, abd his feet reached ttje ground, strong nanus grasoeu tne rope uu his ponderous body swung clear between the heavens and earth and ho was literally strangled to death. By this timo the streets were full of people, all eager to see tho execu tion but the vigilantes kept them out of the yard until all signs of life were extinct. The body was then given to th jail guard and tbn nnrnner aummnncd. Upon his arrival the bndy was cut down and he summonod a Jury who rendered a verdict that McPherson came to his death by being bung by partlesunknown. His neck was found to be not broken, i The remains accompanied by his widow and chil dren were taken to Pomeroy for interment to day. The mob, unlike most mobs, did their1 work cooly andsystema ically, only i.angingthoone who was likely to escape the consequences oi his great cnior, leaving' the others to be dealt with as the law directed. Ezra Snoddcrly, another of the murderers, wifl be hung on the same scau.ua. to-nay, be tween twelve and two o'clock, Canada Owenbv. the third man who pleaded guilty and confessed,' has not been fully disposed of yet. The details of' the murder were pub lished in the Standabu shortly after the event. Cummin s was the company a agent at New York bar, on the Snake river, and re ceived all the monies paid at that station, which he held a certain time. The murderers deliberately planned to kill aod rob him, which they did at the dead hour'of night July 25, 1882.
