K. a «I1 on M o u n t MlittfttK. Some two or three descriptions of Mount Shasta have appeared in the papers of the const in the lost year, but for all that, I pro pose to give still another, to let the people know how the old hill look ed to a Coquiller. ' I shall never forget the first time I was permitted I look on Mount Shasta. I was ^d with a kind of admiration l awe nearly akin to reverence, l every subsequent time I have •n permitted to look upon its f d outline, its rocks and ridges ard crags and clifTs its deep groov ed ridges, its mighty crater; its everlasting snows and glaciers, and and above all its grand, glittering peak risiug nearly fifteen thous and feet above sea level. I say that every time I look on this great mountain the same feeling returns. Hour after hour I have sat oblivi ons to all save the mo.nutaiu and its environments of mystic phan toms, spotless ether and golden edged clouds. I have sat in tin twilight gloom and dreamed, as my eye wandered o’er this lofty snow-capped butte, that Jupiter was here enthroned; that this must be Olympus the home of tho gods. That Appollo and Ceres, and Jove, and Mars, and Vesta aud Juuo. and Pallos were here assembled, and that Phoenix was floating in his chariot o’er the mountain’s brow. But the dream would vainish as the cold north wind swept the white winged mist away and left Mount Shasta cold and stark against the stnrs of heaven. 1 have seen this grand uld butte from near the coast in Humboldt county. Looking direct ly up the Sacramento valley it can be seen from neat Marysville, Cal.; can be seen from the Yuba, from Douglas county, Oregon, an 1 from near Fort Klamath east of the Cascades. Its strange shape makes it a grand sight from any where. But to look from its storm swept summit is oon of the grandest sights on earth. Above the clouds, above all familiar sounds of life, or bustle of an animated world; thous ands of feet above all animated life, you commune only with the cold winds nnd drifting clouds. For fifty miles in every direction you absolutely look down on tho world. Sweeping the glass around your line of vision describes a circle of over a thousand miles. Any one that was ever on the summit of Mount Shasta will hear me out in these assertions. Who can de scribe the strange sensations that comes over him who has the ambi tion or is foolish enough to climb into the very arras of heaven; in a region strange, weird, silent, ghast ly and phantom like. It is easy understood how the Greeks could hail Mount Olympus, or how We could bail Mount Shasta the home of the Gods. — A— ' — T h e J o liu w to w u H o r r o r .

Signal Service, C entral Office, Portland, Oregon.] The temperature has been above the normal, though lower than tho previous week. There was no rainfall, except a very light sprin kle along the lower Columbia. The sunshine was above the nor mal, though the amount was less than in the past two weeks. The effect of these conditions on crops, while they have net been favorable, they cannot be said to le injurious. They were more fuvornble than the conditions of the previous two weeks. The part ly cloudy weather was conducive to more moisture in the air and it did not allow the burning of the wheat so much. The cooler weath er had a beneficial effect on the wheat. Bain is badly needed iu all parts of the state, save aloug the coast and in sections of the Willamette valley. In Wasco county the yield of wheat will be comparatively small—the spring wheat is a total fuiluie, while the fall-sown wheat will be a fair yield. In other parts of Eastern Oregon, some spring wheat will yield a fait* harvest (above 15 to 20 bush els to the acre) while the fall wheat will yield from 25 to 35, and in places 40 bushels to the acre; un doubtedly an average crop will lie harvested. In some sections fall wheat is shriveled but a lnrge pro portion of it is uninjured. Mor row and Union counties appear to have better prospects than Gil Main, Wasco and parts of Umatilla, for an average crop. The acreage in Gilliam, as in other counties, is the largest so far known and the excess acreage may off-set the de ficiency in yeihl. In Lake and Kl amath counties much of the grain is worthless. The Bogne river will have a fair \eild—not quite an average. In the Uinpqua valley the crops will be above the average. Through the Willamitte valley while in places it has b*-eu injured the geueral yeild will he above the average. The past two weeks presented a gloomy outlook for the wl eat crops, but better prospects u appear, and when tne crop is harvested it will be found to be all average yield. The barley and oat crops have not suffered so ex tensively from the effects of the warm, dry weather. A yeild of 60 bushels of barley per acre is prom ised in many sections. The hay harvestjlms progressed. The yeild is not quite an average. The ex cellent fruit a prospects continue. The berries have and are now yeilding enormously. The fruit trees are loaded down and no in sect has, as yet, done any damage. The prospect fer the entire state, considering all of her products as a whole, are excellent. While the wheat farmer mny lose, the farmer having diversified crcps will gain. Excepting on May 29, no rain has fallen in the state for over 4 weeks. This is the longest continued dry spell at this time of the year on record. There is no record of a failure of crops in Oregon and while ether years have presented as unfavorable appearance, still the yt^ild was good. Eastern farm ers are satisfied with 20 bushels of AW heat to the aero and if iu an oc- asional year in Oregon the crop w ill not yeild on an average over bushels to tho acre, there should no couplaint. Climatic con- itions and the soil canuot always >e so favorable as to produce 40 jushelsof wheat to the acre. B. S. P ague . Observer U.

On Sunday June 23 Major Bate man preached the last sermon for the six months he was engaged to speak here. In this 6 ermou, as many others that he has delivered here, he spoke an encouraging word for the.printer, publisher, typo and devil. Although it is not general ly the custom of preachers to speak well of the devil, the Major is somewhat peculiar in this way, ns well as a great many others, aud he made a bold stand for all the poor devils attached to a newspaper office. As we only represent one of the above Darned individuals we shall confine ourselves to our particular sphere. We think if all divines were to bo more lenient toward us our puth would not ap pear near so full of thorns. Since the major became intimately ac quainted with us and we with himt he has been studying our ways aud we his. Here is the true philosophy of one influence over another. The major never made his appear ance here but what he had a saiile for all. The usual custom is when a divine comes in a printing office the fighting editor is safely stored away in order to show a peaceful demeanor. Not so with the major. He asked us to produce him. This broke the ice, as it were, aud all suiled along peacefully and quiet thereafter. If you get the devil down on you he will watch for a chance to tear down your works, but give him an equal show and you will find that stubborness is not the leading quality in his make up. Music is oue of the main features of most all public congre gations and under its influence the most ferocious devil will cease his “sure destruction” methods and live a new life even if it only last but a few minutes The person that is born with a certain faculty largely d ev elop ed , i* not likely to heed advice to the e< ntrary of that facul’.y when it is delivered iu a vindictive spirit. This is one rea son Major Bateman gains and then holds the confidence of everyone he comes in eont: ct with. When some one else laughs he joins iu with them instead of buttoning up his mouth like a pen jacket Nc automatic woikiug about him, it comes freely. Enjoyment of all kinds can be partaken of by him aud when it comes his turn to tight the devil he does so knowing that kindness alone will win the day. The devil is not a phantom spirit as some, or we n ight say a ma jority believe, but it, she or he is found to a certain extent in all persons. Thus the fight is right to the teeth instead of aiming at an imaginary being. All should un derstand this and the devil will be rather scarce around those that heed the advice. We do not wish to b*. understood as trying to hurt any one, oi to be a champion of the major in all senses, for the words have been revolving in our mind for some time and we must have au escape valve somewhere even if the devil does not get his due. It is only a little conjecture gotten up by the devil himself and will not be taken for more than it is worth. We simply want to show that there is m ore than o n e devil and the imaginary devil is a myth. The way to couquor it, she or he is to do the square thing. Never hold out a hand on any odb and cut when it comes your deal and all will be well. We have found a man, that has tried to treat chil dren, young women, young men, middle-aged aud old age as au equal and as a parting tribute we give this. Much more could be said that would help to loosen the forged links. We again ask par don of those that have other ideas but we wish to have our little say about Major C. A. Bateman.
