Hi) Scout, Original in everything
else it would be a little singular if the
Willamette Valley should copy after
any other country in either th6 char
acter or qiiautily'of its weather. Tins
present month has shown all tho diff
erent phases of a protracted and con
tradictory soige in the weather mar
ket that entitles it (o all the claims of
absolute ami U'lipicstintied origiouali
ty. Indeed I cannot remember a day
for the past mouth, when it did not
rain and hail, exceiil one and that day
it hailed and rained, and toward its
close it varied the performance by th
introduction of a young cyclone, just
imported from Kansas, which I should
judge from the rapidity with which it
passed my place, must have been
turned loose somewhere near the Cal
ifornia line.
It is counted excellent weather for
wheat and grass, and in fact for all
kinds of growing vegetation, hut for n
man who has been trying for throo
weeks to get a chance to plant a ton
acro Held of corn, and sees it every
day becoming in great danger of turn
ing into a suhteraiioan lake, it is some
what exasperating, This is tho con
dition of the writer of "tl.cso few
linus. ' '
As is common with ungrateful hu
manity, I was, yesterday, bewailing
in the' presence of a neighbor tho total
depravity which characterizes this
usurping seige of Jupiter Pliivius,
whciishe remarked, "Oh well. It is
good weather lor young ducks and
cabbage plants" this showing a
philosophic spirit under adverse cir
cumstances that was truly commend
able Though tho weather Is remarkably
wet, the prospect for a heavy yield of
all kinds of grain and fruit, is' better
than for years before. Tho wild
strawberry crop is immense, and npo
ones are now plentiful, though at
least a month later than Inst year,
'flic orik and ash trees me not yet in
quite full leaf, and if this cold wet
weather lasts much longer it will
hardly bo worth while for them to leaf
out for this piece of a summer.
There is it calm in political mutters
hero, just now, which probably typl
lies that which usually precedes n
storm. The active canvass will begin
in a week, and thou look out for
nrlvato character and the public liar.
It is conceded that thn democrats have
n better chiiuco for carrying this
county than has existed before tor
twenty jom-s, but thero is going to
bo hard lighting around, and it may
be that when the clash of arms bcglui,
the utmosphero will ho sutllciciitly
warmed to oiittblu me to plant tuy
corn. 1 am anxious to seethe cam
paign open.
