OUTLOOK IS GOOD.
Oregon Grain Crops Will be About np to
,' tbe Average.
Following is a synopsis of the crop
bu.lletin issued from the office of B. S.
Bftgue for the week ending June 26:
WESTERN OREGON.
i The rainfall during the last 48 hours
was of great benefit: it is the first
general rain since the 1st. The soil
was becoming dry ana vegetation
needed the moisture. Haying is in
progress and all reports indicate an
excellent crop. The rain has not been
heavy enough nor of sufficient dura
tion to injure the bay already cut, and
unless the rains continue, which Is not
expected, they will do no injury
Haying will continue for several weeks
Tbe condition of the grain crop Is
excellent. Fall-sown wheat - has
beaded in all sections and it was never
more promising. Spring-sown wheat
U in excellent condition and is mak
ing good growth; that sown very late
will be greatly benefited by the rain
Oats, barley and rye are most promis
ing, they will be good crops. The
acreage of all grain is less than for
the last several years. . Hops are
making most excellent growth; lice
has appeared and spraying has com
menced. The hop crop is at present
In the best . condition of all crops.
Corn is making good growth; tbe
rains will prove of great benefit to the
crop; tbe acreage of corn appears to
have been Increased. Potatoes are
making rapid . growth and those
planted early are in bloom. Garden
produce is in a satisfactory condition
and rapid growth now prevails,
Strawberries are very plentiful and
are in . tbe height of tbeir season.
Cherries are ripening rapidly. The
Black Republican cherry is falling
and some trpes are practically barren
of fruit. The Royal Ann will make a
a fair crop. Tbe cherry crop will not
be a failure; there will be a great
abundance for local use and some for
ehlpment, but few to dry. The peach
crop of Jackson county continues to
be good; in other counties the crop is
poor. Prunes have ceased dropping;
those remaining on the trees are esti
mated at from 10 to 50 per cent, of a
full crop. Pears are in poor con
dition, especially Bartletts. Apples
promise a fair yield. Small berries
are everywhere reported to be plenti
ful.
EASTERN OREGON.
The grain crop is making excellent
progress. Jfiarly-sown tail grain and
barley are in places turning color and
will soon be ripe. -The bpring grain
is making good grow;tn. Many cor
respondents report' long straw and
large heads on tbe fall sown wheat and
barley. Tbe rain on Sunday was of
great benefit. Spring grain needs
more rain; the acreage of spring grain
s larger tban usual, due to the freez-
ng out of some of tbe fall sown.-,
Haying is in progress and a large
crop is being secured. Through
out, the stock country the hay is belter
than usual. -
Strawberry shipments in carload
lots ceased on tbe 25th. The crop was
better than any previous one. Fruit is
assuming a poorer outlook. Prunes
are as poor as in Western Oregon and
probably poorer. Cherries are drop
ping and peach trees will not need hand
pruning this year. Apples are prom
ising in some sections; in others, a
poor crop will result.
Garden produce " is making good
growth. .Corn and potatoes are prom
ising. Sugar beets are in excellent
condition are being well taken care of;
large crop for the refinery at La
Grande Is now promised.
Died In tbe Mountains.
News was received last evening of
the deatb of W. H. McDonald, busi
ness manager of ; the Evening Tele
gram, while on a fishing trip to Oak
Point Sunday, with Sidney D. Charles
Telegram reporter, Tbe cause of
his death was probably hemorrhage of
the lungs, but his deatb occurred un
der such circumstances that tbe cause
is not clearly known.
Charles and McDonald separated
Sunday morning near Oak Point, the
former to carry their lunch basket to
Kellar's cabin, and the latter to fish
along the stream. He said he would
return in the evening. . As he did not
appear at night Charles concluded that
be had turned back to Oak Point for
tbe night. Yesterday morning while
fishing down the creek, Charles found
the body, a mile from Keller's cabin,
and four miles from Oak Point. Tbe
time of his death is unknown. During
the day tbe two' had been lost in the
woods, and Mr. McDonald complained
of fatigue. While returning to tbe
cabin in the evening, worn out by his
exertions, he was probably stricken
with a hemorrbage and, faint from
weakness and exhaustion, found him
self nnable to go further than the place
where he was found yesterday. . A
handkerchief covered' with . blood,
found by bis side indicates the cause
of his deatb. Mr. McDonald had been
connected with the Telegram since
1892. Oregonlan. .
Three Bad Jimmies.
"By their , works , ye shall know
tbem " A jimmey is the sign manual
of a burglar hence'ucn' a person
should be called Jim.'' "That reasoning
seems to be proved true by the pres
ence in the county jail of . three men
brought from ' Wallula last night,
charged with ourglary. Their name
is Jim: Jim Kelley, Jim Maloney,Jim
Moore. Jim Moore evidently was not
satisfied with having been sentenced
three times already to the county jail;
and each time be bad been sent up
from Wallula. - k
These Jimmies are charged with
highway robbery. The manner of ex
ecuting their criminal intention upon
tbeir victim was differently expressed
to the reporter by various persons. He
reconciles tbe statements by saying:
Jim No. 1 rolled him, Jim No. 2 stood
him up, Jim No. 3 held him up, Jim
No. 4 (one of the robbers escaped) did
him up by gathering in the cash.
Then they all whacked up the 17 thus
procured. This was all done at Wal
lula, which little town has been good
enough to furnish our superior court
several cases. Walla Walla States

lently, is evidently the outcome of the
work of some rascally pension at
torneys in Washington, who have
found in Garrison an easy victim, be
cause of bis mental weakness Tbe
Times-Monntaineer bas taken oc
casion to look into the matter a6 far
as possible, and bas been shown papers
which prove that David D. Garrison
enlisted in Co. D, First U. S. cavalry,
in June, 1865 and was discharged at
Bond, California, in June, 1874,
curing nis service in tne army ne was
disabled, and since then has been a
victim of epileptic fits, for which he
bas and is receiving a pension of 98
month.
While in the army he bought the
discharge of one oia Barrett, and
this fact -xaa somehow discovered by
some pension attorneys who induced
him to sign certain papers that were
probably false, but he has never ob
tained a pension in tbe name of Bar
rett nor did he enlist under an as
sumed name as has been staled. Gar
rison is not bright, in fact, is almost
an imbecile at tines, therefore is not
accountable for his acts. If a crime
has been committed it Is evident that
the attorneys who got Garrison Into
tbe scrape are more guilty tban he.
AN IMAGINARY MINE.
Copper
Creek Mining: Ulstrlct
a Snare
and Delusion.
There has been considerable effort
made to boom up the Copper creek and
Silver Star mining district, in the
Cascade mountains north of Vancou
ver,by certain promoters, but the effort
is falling flat, tbough a good many
prospectors ba.-e been induced to go
into that district and squander their
time and money without reward.
A Times-Mountaineer reporter bas
been shown a letter from some men
who are prospecting there that con
veys the information that in the dis-
rict gold, silver, copper and lead la to
be found and the ledges are from one
to 40 feet in width, but the ore is low
grade and it would require an expendi
ture of $1,000,000 to develop any of the
ledges, and then the returns would be
small. '
The country is all claimed and loca
tions are held by the slightest devel
opment work possible to place on
tbem. Many tunnels consist of a few
posts set in the grounds covered over
with lagging aud shell rock to pre
sent the appearance of a tunnel.
There is very little placer in that
country and none of tbe claims are
paying. The ground will average
about two colors, that cannot be seen
with the naked eye, to the pan. That
district is evidently a pretty good
place to stay away from.
Ensign Monagnon Buried.
Three thousand people were in the
procession at Spokane that followed
tbe body of Ensign John Robert Mona-
gnan from tbe city hall to Gonzaga
hapel, while 25,000 more filled the
streets on the line of march. Ex
United States Sonator John L. Wilson,
delivered the eulogy at tbe public
gathering. Father Jacquet, Mona-
ghan's teacher in boyhood, also de
livered an .address. Solemn requiem
mass, all the Catholic clergy in the
city participating, was celebrated at
the church, which waa crowded to
overflowing by immediate friends and
relatives. United States regulars,
state guardsmen, the fire and police
departments and the secret societies
participated in tbe services of a civil
ian nature. Monaghan's body was in
terred at Fairmount, beside the grave
of his mother, who dled.just before he
sailed for Samoa'en the Philadelphia.
A. Perfect Picnic.
Tuesday was one of those ideal
summer days so common in isastern
Oregon, hence it was not surprising
that tbe excursion and picnic given
by St. Paul's Sunday school was all
that could be expected. The tide
down the river was delightful, and
thoroughly enjoyed, but tbe best part
of Jhe day was at tbe picnic grounds
near the town of Hood River. Wagons'
met the excursionists at the beat land
ing and conveyed their lunch baskets
and luggage to the grounds, hlle tbe
party wended through streets and lanes
to that most inviting spot. There
mirth reigned until time to return to
the boat. Everything connected with
the excursion and picnic added to the
pleasure of tbe day, and when it was
ended, the general sentiment was that
it should be repeated at an early date.
To Entertain tbe Editors.
The Dalles responded nobly, as it
always does, when asked to subscribe
to the fund for entertaining the Na
tional Editorial Association on tbe
morning of July 4th. Money was
raised with which to give tbem a
breakfast and a contract has been
made with tbe Umatilla House to give
them an elegant spread. After they
have been breakfasted they will be
shown around the city, through the
principal streets, and will be given an
opportunity to see-all the big ware
houses filled with : wool, a sight that
will convince them of the importance
of Oregon products. As tbeir stay in
city will be limited it will be possible
to give them only a glimpse of tbe
place, but it will certainly make a
good impression upon their minds.

Stagers Must Hang.
W. G. Magers, who is under sentence
to be hanged at Dallas July 21, for the
murder of Ray Sink, says be is inno
cent, and that if he Is put to deatb his
blood will be upon tbe jury. Magers
eats ana sleeps well, and is enjoying
the best of health. He is absolutely
unconcerned as to his fate:
"Worry!" be says,'why, a man in
my situation would be a d d fool to
worry!"
Judge Burnett, of the circuit court,
before whom Magnrs was tried and con
victed, has refused to sign a certificate
of probable cause.
Dr. and Mrs. H. C. Schleef had a
narrow escape from deatb by poision
ing at Eugene last Wednesday. Ar
senic had been spread on a plate to
poison rats. A sister of Mrs. Schleef.
who bas been staying at the house a
couple of days, thought the arsenic
was flour, and emptied it into the flour
bin. From this flour bread was made
and eaten. Mr. and Mrs. Schleef are
recovering.

Short a Million Founds.
Enough of this season's wool has
been received so that those who have
been long in the business can make
very close estimate of the amount of
wool that will be received - here this
year, and their estimates are that It
will be In tbe neighborhood of a mil
lion pounds short of last year's re
ceipts. There are at present between
six and seven million pounds In the
warehouses, and of this some two
million pounds are of last year's clip,
and as there are two million pounds
yet to arrive from the farms, the re
ceipts for this year will be but little
more tban six million pounds.
This shortage is not because of wool
that bas formerly come here being
shipped elsewhere, but owing to tbe
heavy loss of sheep last winter, the
lightness of the clip, and the fact that
there were more sheep sold out of the
country last year than common. In
some of tbe heaviest; wool producing
sections tributary to Tbe Dalles, the
loss during the past winter was very
great, besides there were fewer sheep
kept last fall than the year previous,
and wool men generally say their
fleeces were from one-fourth to one
half pound lighter this year than last.
All these conditions have had a ten
dency to cut down the aggregate of
wool that has come to this market.
Tbe Codling Motb.
Those who have apples to save from
the ravages of the codling motb should
spray tbem at once if they have not
already done so. Tbe first larvae are
now entering the fruit and by the
time this notice reaches the public it
will be almost too late to expect the
best results. Prompt action will be
necessary to save the crop.
Moths are abundant and each de
posits many eggs. Apples are scarce.
The batural inference is that unusual
efforts will have to be made to save
the fruit that remaines. Observation
last season showed that the larvae of
the first brood bngan to work in the
fruit about July 1st. This year they
are beginning somewhat earlier. This
brood did little damage last year, but
it produced ' an enormous second
brood which began work about August
1st, by far the greater proportion of
injury being done after September 1st.
We therefore reccommend that the
trees be sprayed once between June 2d
and July 1st, again about August 1st
and again early in September. Di
rections for preparing and applying
the spray are contained in Bulletin
No. 48 which may be had on applica
tion. Oregon Experimental Station

A large number of two wheel side
hill machines, built by tbe HoUser-
Haines Mfg. Co. wt Stockton, Cal., are
now in operation in California fields
and are giving excellent satisfaction.
Oregon and Washington farmers
should make it a point to purchase
this machine as it is especially ad
apted for this territory. See sample
machine at Walla Walla and other
points.
