News of tli Weolc From Our Regular Cor
respondent at tbe Capital.
Wabhi.voto.v, July 17, 1S91.
Editok Orkoon Scout:
Tho 8eeret is out that has been puz
zling lots of people hereabouts for
several weeks. Everybody has been
wondering aud speculatiug as to what
was the cause of the sudden boom
which Representative Crisp's candida
cy for the speakership recently took
on. dome said it was caused by the
support wf Mr. 'Meveland, but how
could that be when it had been an
nounced by those very near to the ex
piesident that ho favored McMillin for
speaker. UoMillin's friends nbo
thought that he would get tho support
and influence of Tain many Hall, but
they now know that Tammany is
working for Crisp, and that it hopes to
secure the entire Now York delegation
for him. It was impossible to keep
the influence that was doing all this a
secret, somebody was bound to blab,
and somebody has blabbed. Mr. Crisp
is being pushed by the shrewdest
political manipulator in the democrat
ic party, Beuator Arthur V. Gorman,
although that gentleman has repeated
ly stated that he didn't propose having
anything to do with tho speakership,
aud unless his interference should bo
resented and a combination formed
against his candidate, it looks liko
Crisp will be tho next speakor. How
ever, there is plenty of time to make
combinations against him.
There is no end to red tape- monkey
ing in all'uirs connected with tho Fed
eral government. The accounting
ollieers of the treasury department
have decided that the judges and
other oilicials of tho recently created
private land claims court must not be
paid their salaries until they have
been confirmed by tho senate ; anoth
er decision by tho same august athor
ities is that Assistant Secretary of tho
Treasury Crounee, who was appointed
to tsucceod Gen. Baclieller, who was
appointed minister to Portugal, can
draw no salary until he is confirmed
by tho senate Judge Beatty, of Ida
ho, who was nominated before con
gress adjourned, but not confirmed by
tho senate, and who was after congress
adjourned appointed by President
HarriBon, is in tho samo predicament;
no salary will bo paid to him until he
is coutirmod by tho senate. These
decisions may bo in strict conformity
with tho law, but they cortainly are
not in touch with plain everyday com
mon Bcnso. These officials are all
performing tho duties for which thoy
wore appointed and thoy should be
paid their salaries.
Tuo building committee of tho board
of m tuagoiuent of government build
ing, lias been directed to proceed to
ChicMgo to consult with tho Exposi
tion iiithurities about tho arrangomont
of grounds for tho government build
iug. Tito committee, which will go
nest, week, will bo accompanied by
Supervising Architect of tho Treasury
Edinook, who will represent tho sec
retary of the treasury.
Wo havn't any right to Htono tho
European "snob" as long as our news
papers persist in giving tho public tho
mot minute dotails, as far as thoy
can got theiu, of tho president's do
mestic life at his seasido cottage, and
the more of this sort of stun" they
print tho more papers tho public will
buy. Tho American "snob" is getting
entirely too numerous for tho good of
tho country.
Col. L. L. Polk, president of tho
national farmers' alliance, while horo
this week, took occasion to publicly
Eervo notice upon tho leaders of tho
democratic party in tho South that
unless there was a change in their
treatment of the alliance in that sec
tion before next year tho alliance
would go into tho third party move
ment. Ho also characterized as utter
ly false statements which havo been
made that tho allianco was going to
pieces in Kansas. Ho said that tho
alliance wan 20,000 stronger in that
state at this time than it was whon
the Ocala convention was hold, and
that it was increasing in membership
all over the country notwithstanding
the pcrnistent efforts of tho partisan
pret-s to make it appoir otherwise,
Tho democratic leadors here aro
fiflurmz that tho frto coinage plank in
tliu Ohio democratic platform will got
Campbell the support of the farmers'
alliano of that Htatu aud prevent tho
nomination of a third tiokol. Muny
democrats do not hesitate to say that
without tho support of tho alliance
Campbell stands very little chance of
election. Republicans still express
confidence that McKinley will win
anyway, but they aro not so confident
of carrying the legislature, because of
the fight the allianco is making on
Senator Sherman.
Secretary Rtifk will attend the an
nual encampment of the G. A. H. tit
Detroit next month, and he has protn-
I iscd to do what he could to help
"Washington got the encampment nevt
year. The business men of Wtttdiitig
ton have subscribed .f 20,000 as a guar
antee land for the entertainment of
the old soldiers, if they will come here.

THE GREATEST OF ALL.
A Glorious Holiday With Soils Broth

Of Sells Brotlmrs' Enormous United
Shows, which aro to exhibit at La
Grando on Tuesday August '1th, it
may bo truly saitl that "age cannot
wither nor custom pall their inlinito
variety." This, tho twentieth year of
their vastly progressive existence, they
come to us with an array of nensations,
spectacles, performances and living
wondois from every clime, simply be
wildering. In fact there is scarcely
room to mention separate departments,
let alone tho hundreds of features that
go to make of each a great and amaz
ing show. Besides ovory notable va
riety of rare wild boasts, including tho
tremendous pair of living hippopot
ami; overy act possible to human
nerve, agility and ingenuity, and bruto
sagacity; tho oxcitement of tho thril
ling hippodrome races, tho rare speci
ally exhibited features, anil tho ravish
ing dancing of tho great Spanish
artiste, Cyrene, there is to bo con
sidered the wild Moorish Caravan,
introducing tho most wondrous feats
of barbaric agility and strength, and
appearing quaintly and superbly
armed and equipped in the grand,
novel and romantic spectacular pil
grimage to Mecca. From performing
mammoth' or ltugo disporting am
phibia to daintiest detail there is noth
ing inferior or commonplace about
this extraordinarily rich and attractive
alliance. It possesses overy featuro,
feat and display, of both homo aud
foreign origin, in keeping with such
an entertainment that can bo pro
cured, and many nowhere elso to bo
seen. Its morning glorious street pa
rade is a free introduction to a holiday
nono should miss.

There is a big oxcitement in Eagle

On last Monday night Sain Smith had
a line mare stolen. Tho animal is a
dark iron grey, branded S on left
shoulder, about lfi hands high, is well
known in High valley and at North
Powder where Mr. Smith used to live.
Smith has been gono several days anil
wo believe is on a hot trail aud likely
will bring in the thief. Mr. John Fra
zier lost a saddle the same night and
says ho will spend Jive times tho worth
of the saddle or have it. I fear they
will make it hoi, for tho thief if they
catch him, and ho may pull hemp.
The man accused of the thoft is about
IK) years old, fi foot 10 inches high and
gives his name as Henry Wheeler; he
drinks whiskey and gambles, anil is a
low down character, so look out for
him.
Mr. liditor, I seo tin articlo in tho
Oituao.v Scout of last week stating
that tho first crop of alfalfa was all
spoiled and the ranchers wore hauling
it away and dumping it anywhere in
order to got il out of tho way to make
room for tho second crop. I will say
that whoever reported this is mistaken.
There was a little hay got wet, but I
don't think there was a ton spoiled.
There aro thousands of tons of as lino
hay as over grow, and I would say to
men who want to buy hay to come
and seo for yourselves, and don't bo
liovo these false reports made up by
some party that does not know any
thing about it. Wo will havo thous
ands of tons of hay to sell, and will
havo enough vegetables to supply
Baker aud Union counties. One man,
Mr. Oris Howie, living on Bon Long

Crop-Weather, Bulletin No. 20.
The observer of tho Oregon Weather
Bureau, of Portland, Oregon, has is
sued tho bulletin for tho week ending
Saturday, July 25, 1891, tho sumo be
ing based upon roports received from
1-17 correspondents, which is as follows :
WKSTKItN OUKOON.
Weather. Thursday, tho 2!id, was
the wannest day on record ; tho maxi
mum temperature ranged from 00 to
105 degrees. Tin- 22nd and 2 1th wore
warm while today is much cooler.
On tho evening of the 2IId thunder
storms were observed in various locali
ties, though little rain fell.
Crops. Tho hot weather was favor
able to the ripening of grain, but
slightly injurious to gardens. Wheat
harvest, is gonerally in operation and
reports indicate larger ami more plump
grains and better heads than were
even anticipated. Oats aro doing wol 1
and ripening rapidly. The codlin
moth is becoming dangerous" anil do
ing damage; the apple crop will be
poor. The hop louse is fairly well
under control. Green corn and peach
es aro ripe and plentiful; tho peach
crop is tho largest on record. Prunes
aro generally not over an average crop,
though in Douglass county the trcos
aro heavily loaded with fruit. Hay
harvest, in sections, continues, and all
reports indicate heavy yields.
HAHTUUN OUKOON.
Weather. The weok has been tho
warmest of the season, tho 21th being
especially warm. The weather has
been cloudless and no rain is reported
to havo fallen.
Crops. Tho warm weather has
brought spring wheat rapidly forward ;
fall wheat is being cut; headers aro at
work in tho Columbia river valley. In
Union county aud south of tho Blue
mountains the spring was moro back
ward and harvest will begin about tho
10th of August. All roports indicato
wheat to bo bettor than was expected :
by all odds the grain crop will be tho
largest ever produced.
Reports from tho wheat districts of
tho world, other than tho United
States, indicato a gonoral deficiency.
This means a demand for Amoriean
wheat and good prices. Already thoro
tiro signs of increased prices and it bids
fair to bo as high or higher than pre
vious prices.
Oregon is to bo congratulated on its
inimenso yiold and prospective good
prices, resulting in prosperous times
for tho agriculturist.
