LINKVIIXE DESTROYED BY FIRE.
LlNKYHLE, Or., Sept. 6 The but-iness
part of Linkville is totally destroyed.
Fire broke out in the rear ot Forbts's
saloon at 2:30 this morning, and in a few
minutes the who'e building was in Annu s.
AH efforts to save either bui ding or siore
iid that Mock were unavailing.
Smith's hotel across the street wa9 ueit
caught, Knd then :t was seen that that
part of the town was doomed. Nearly an
business was tonccLtiated here at the
river. The bridsje across the river was
saved by hard woik.
The hre then swept eastward, isurmng
Gleim's livery stables, the at. Charles
hotel and all the druar st res in town.
The postoffiee building was burned,
but all the mails, etc., were saved.
Everybody worked heroically to save
property, and a great deal was saved east
of the noint where the fire broke out. The
Klamath Star newspaper saved most of
the type and both presses.
The town was swept clean from the
bridge to the telegraph office.
There were no lives lost. Ben Monroe,
barkeeper at Forbes's saloon, was badly
burned. He went back into tbe burning
budding alter some valuables, and the
i eilinrr lell in on him, setting his doth
nig on lire. Fortunately as he darted nut
ot the building he was met by some one
who daxlied a bucket of water over bnu
He is doinc well to-nttrht, and will re
Cover.
The lo,s will probably be about $200,
000.
THE BEHRING SEA DIFFICULTY.
Ottawa, Sept. 6. Tbe sudden return
of Sir John Slacdonald is thought to be
in compliance with certain disualches re

pari ot imperial authorities to allow the
Pacific squadron to intefere in tbe Behr-
ing sea difficulty. Canada, they say,
must settle the difficulty bereeli. ibis is
corroborated by tbe fact that Canadian
affairs were completely ignored in the
recent speech ot the qneen at the pro-
gat ion ot parument.

Crop Weather Ilnllctln No. 27.
Oregon State Weather Bureau in co-optra-
tion with U. S. Siinal Service, central office, '
Portland, Oregon. For week ending Sepl.
7, 18S0:
The temperature has remained about or
slightly below the normal.' From some of
the higher regions of Eastern and Southern
Oregon rep rt i of light frosts aro received. '
On Aug. 30th and 31st rains were general
over tho state, being quite heavy in West
ern Oregon and from a good shower to a
sprinkle in Eastern Oregon. The sunshine
has been about normal. The smoke was
considerably cleared away by the rains of
last week, but during the past few days it
has again been quito dense.
Wild geese were flying south on the 4th,
indicating approaching winter.
Tbe weather conditions have been favor
able to fall seeding in H'estern Oregon.
which in sections is being pushed vigorous
ly, to tbe growth of grasses, to fruit drying
and to hop picking which is now in full
blast. Ia spite of the long continued
drouth the farmers of H'estern Oregon will
baye a ycry large surplus of wheat for ship
ment. Granaries are full and additional
accomodations have to be provided. Fall
wheat appears to be no worse and corn is
better for the dry spell, the grain is harder.
Tho wheat is nearly all threshed. Oats,
barley and hay are also secured. Corn is
maturing, and in some sections it lias al
ready been cut. The immense fruit crops
eontinao to be shipped, the surplus is being
dried. The codhn moth has done consider
able damage to apples and pears ia a few
sections. Tbe warm, dry weather has
caused the season to be about one month
ahead of ordinary years. Partners are
through harvesting; fruit and vegetable
bave matured earlier, the leaves are begin
ing to turn and to fall. Tbe fruit yield in
Eastern Oregon is larger this year than ever
before, many sections producing fruit that a
few years ago were supposed to be unfitted
for orchards. Straw is very plentiful and
many farmers are saving it for possible feed
in the winter. In the stock country the
summer range is short aud over crowded:
more rain is greatly needed to give the eras.
a good start. In Malheur county hay il .
very scarce by reason of the long continued
drouth, except when the land could be irri
gated. In Sherman county the farmers who, re
lied upon their wheat crop are in a serious
predicament. Many fields were not cnt at
all and but few paid for their cutting. At
rossii, uiiiiam county, wneat is reported as
being worth $1 per bushel, showing the
scarcity in that section. At Vale, Mal
heur county, oats are worth 1J- aud wheat
I J; cents per pound. The quality is not ex
tra good at that price.
Hops are turning out auite well: near Tn.
dependence. Polk county, they are yielding
from 2500 to 3000 pounds per acre. Fot -comparison,
it may bo said that in New
York state about 000 pounds ner acre ia a
