Crop-Wi atber Bulletin.
Tbe following is the report for Eastern
Oregon for the week ending Tuesday,
May 15,1891, by S. M. Blandlord, ob
server wealber bureau:
Weather The temperature was cooler
than the average. Tbe average daily de
parture was 4 degrees. Tbe precipitation
was about tbe ayerage in tbe Columbia
river and Walla Walla valleys aod exces
sive in the interior counties. Tbe frost
which occurred en the 9th was not so
severe in the eastern portions of the state.
The sunshine was about tbe average.
Crops In the Columbia river counties
they retain their healthy color. All grain
and grass crops are promising. Heeding
of spring grain is completed. Barley in
Gilliam county is backward. Farmers
bave begun to summer fallow. Tbe
ground is in excellent condition to re
ceive tbe plow. Tbe frost which occurred
on tbe ninth injured fruit in some ex
posed sections, while in other sections ne
damage has been observed. Blackberries
are blooming. It is thought that many
fruits could stand a severe frost without
oeing seriously aHected Meadows give
promise of large bay crops though tbere
is much cheat grass. Stockmen bave
saved an unusually large precentage of
their lambs. Tbe average wool clip is
expected. Potatoes and other vegetables
are being planted.
In the interior counties crips are mast
ing progress under conditions which are
considered favorable. In sections where
irrigation bas heretofore been resorted to,
tbe rain this year has been sufficient. In
Malheur county farmers have commenced
to irrigate. Fall-sown grain will mature
an excellent crop. Spring-sown grain is
coming up; it has a good stand. Some
fruit was injured in exposed places by
the frost ot the 9tb, though not seriously.
Prospects for abundant fruit and cereal
crops are excellent. Stockmen bave been
successful with their lambs. Grass on
the range affords sufficient nutriment for
stock.
From present indications good prices wilt
bo received tor Oregon picducts this year on
account of tbe drought which is atteutiug a
targe portion of California. Hay, o its, po
tatoes, and similar productions for wbicb
tbere is no export demand should be profi

Juniper Flat.
After leaving Tygb creek and crossing
White river just above its confluence
with tbe former stream the traveler inds
bis way up a bill and crosses a plain
many miles in extent, wbicb b&s been
called Juniper flat, because no other tree
can be discerned except this indigenous
growth, and ibis timber is quite abund
ant. ' The plain is very extensive and tbe
soil neb aud fertile. Where not cultivated
tbe land is covered with the native bunch
grass, and this furnishes excellent pastur
age for livestock. During the last few
years very many homeseekers have set
tled on the flat, and school bouses aad
churches can be seen , at convenient dis
tances. Tbe obly obstacle to tbe rapid
settlement of this portion ef the county
bus been trie lack of water, and this, in
some instances, bas to be bauled a dis
tance of several miles. A ditch has been
dug from Clear lake, and is nearly com
pleted to the settlement. When this is
fjnisbed tbere will be no more populous
farming region in this portiop of the
state Without irrigation good crops
bave beea raised in former years, and tbe
indications this season are very encour
aging. Fall grain is in excellent condi
tion, and spring sown is growing well.
Warm weather is desired to impel tbe
growth of tbe latter, but not more so op
this plateau than in other, portions, ef th.e
county.
With Its advantages for agricultural
purposes, t'he wbo in Jbe love of nature
holds communion with ber visible forms"
can behold scenery from this elevated
plain which is rarely excelled for beauty
aud grandeur. Tbe level land, dotted
with farm dwellings and school houses,
melts in tbe distance inte the foothills of
the Cascades, and then mountain piled
on mountain is -seen untij the ' yision is
charmed by tbe snow-capped, summits o
Motyotq Haed, St. Helens, Adams and
Jefferson with their hour.)' peaks pierciqg
the clouds, smiling 10, the caress of the
summer sun ant) frowning in the em
brace of tbe winter storm cloud. With
available means ol reaching market, aud
water coursiag through tbe land from the
reservoirs of Mt. Hood, no mere delight
ful place for a borne can be ipagiaedj
than Juniper flt, . -

Enlisted for tne War.
This play was rendered last evening' at
the Baldwin opera house in this city by
the Home Dramatic club to a crowded
house. The scene is laid in a auiet New
England village, but some of the charac
ters are engaged in the great conflict of
the late civil war. Of course true love
never did run smoothly, and Robert
Trueworth, a soldier of the union, has
many obstacles to overcome before he
claims Gaylie Gilford as his bride The
most difficult of these obstacles is the
jealousy of his Colonel, Wilder Rowell,
who is guardian of Miss Gifford, and
who is madly in love. Rowell is the
villian of tbe play, but his schemes are
outwitted by Gaylie herself, assisted by
Hosea Jenks, Mrs. Trueworth, Robert's
mother, and others. Everything ends
as it should, and Robert comes home
colonel of the regiment, marries Galie,
the villain is unmasked, and love and
right triumphs over treachery and
wrong. There is the usual comedy to
relieve the heavy parts, and this harmo
nizes the drama and makes in enjoyable.
The following is the cast of characters :
Robert Trueworth, a soldier. .G D Suowden
Wilder Rowell, guardian of Givlie Gif
ford R H Lonsdale
Hosea Jenks, auctioneer M T Nolao
Hiram Jenks, his son J Hampshire
Crimp (colored) N J Sionott
General Grant H H R'dnell
Lieut Col. Boxer G Bonn
Gaylie G, fiord, an heiress, . . Rose D Micbe.l
Mrs. Trueworth, Robert's mother
Mrs. G. O. Blakelev
Mattie Trueworth, Robert's sister
Elizabeth FitzGrald
The leading character, Robert True
worth Mr G. D Snowden, appeared to
fully realize the position in which he was
placed and was the honest lover, per
secuted but finally sncce ssf ul at the close.
Mr. R. H. Lonsdale as Wilder Rowell
was well selected. He has a correct
conception of the character, and has
many of the elements of the true actor.
In any part Mr. Lonsdale is good. One
would hardly believe. our genial post
master to be possessed of the wit that he
displayed on the stage last evening; but
he was the perfect personification of
what. Hosea Jenks, the auctioneer and
postmaster, should have been. Mr. J.
Hampshire as Hiram. Hose's son, acted
well, and adapted himself in a creditable
manner to the part. Every one who
knows Mr N. J. Sinnott, in his dignified,
courteous manner to all, would not im
agine tbat he could take the part of
Crimp, the colored man ; but his histri
onic talent is such that he is perfectly
at home in comedy or tragedy. Gen.
Grant and Col. Boxer were well taken
by H. H. Riddell and Gus. Bonn. There
was not much conversation given to
these two persons in the play; but the
delineation of the real men was well
done. Miss Rose D. Michell excellently
represented the heroine, Gaylie Gifford,
and all the prominent points oi this
admirable character was brought out in
good style. Mrs. G. C. Blakeley, as
Robert's mother, was well rendered.
This lady has a good conception of dra
matic character, and in almost any role
would appear to advantage Robert's
sister, Mattie Trueworth, was acted by
Miss Elizabeth FitzGerald, and in a
manner that' reflected great credit on
her, and gave a naturalness to the char
acter rarely attained, except by profes
sionals who make the drama a life study.
The play was a success in every particu
lar, and we are glad to note the fact that
the receipts were very good considering
the hard times.

After a joint conference the commi ttee

would be unanimously against it. Be
continued ; "As a, native-born cltiien,

Co'oael Red, of Chicago, said tbe 65
and 50- cent basis was too low, and pro-
nosed a compromise of 60 and 69 cents.
He scored the mine association for refus
ing to permit tbe miners to work where
tbe operators conceded, their demands,
