OREGON AR0CBED. Indignation Oyer tbe Shameful Treatment of Onr Volnnteera. Salem, Sept. 3. Distressing repoits continue lo reach families at Salem who have members among the Oregon volun teers at Camp Merrill, but now removed lo Presidio, and there ia a deep seated and growing feeling at the shameful treatment tbey have reoeived at the hands of the war department. There are 300 men there from Oregon. mostly youDg, men who left good bomos and many f, om tbe best families, who bave undoubtedly suffered severely, are yel suffering, and many will ye! suffer all their lives from want of proper food, shelter, comforts and medical attend auoe. If true as reported and published, and there is painful anxiety 00 the part of parents aud relatives to have these vol nnteers return home or join tbeir regu lar companies. Parts of seven compan ies are al 'Frisco. No one seems to have authority to apeak or act for Oregon in this distressful situation and the people must speak and act. The soldiers are not state troops aod tne state of Oregon as suoh is in no wise responsible. They were mastersd in in response to a call from Ibe Doited 8tates government to fill up tbe maximum aompaniea already organized and in the field. Governor Lord telegraphed bia objections to the war department al Ihn lime and ineisted that abatallion should be raised and oflloered by appointees from Oregoo. This was not done and tbe troops have been without oflloers either regular or state and their snffer ingsBud undisciplined oondition were no doubt increased by tbe irregular manner in which they were sent into oamp, There is a general expression among Salem people, and it will grow stronger as tbe pnblio come to better understand the facts, in fayor of calling a masa meeting to express indignation and de mand the Immediate return of the troops to their homes in Oregoo. Mayor Rioberdaon expressed himself this morn ing to tbe effect thai something mast be done. His son Boyd, a medioal gtndent at 'Frisco just returned from a visit to the Oregon troopg in oamp, aayg they have been shamefully neglected, and tbat tbe men tbemselvea corroborate all tbat bag been charged. Governor Lord is expeoted borne from tbe eeagbore and go far aa be baa power will no doubt act promptly to relieve the Oregon boye. lie might do ag tbe gov ernor of one state did, charter aapeoiel trgiu and bring Ibem borne, god the people would uphold biro in go doing.

Following ia the weekly weather and orop bulletin for tbe state, furnished the Gazette by B. S. Pugue, under date of September 5ib : , WESTERN OBEGrOX. Cooler, with olouds aod rain, was the weather for the past week. Kin, ao compaoied by thunder, ocourred in tbe southern portion on Monday and Tues day; on Friday night rain fell in the northern portion; the former amounted to about three-quarters of an inoh, the latter one-quarter. The mean temper ature for the week averaged 60 degrees, vuioo was v deg. lower than for the preceding week and 2deg. higher than; for the corresponding week of last year. During this week, one year ago, generol and quite heavy rain fell. The highest temperature dnring the week was 76 deg., on Sunday ; the lowest 44 deg., this morning. A feature of espeoial notice is the absence of smoke. It is usual for this season of the year for the smoke, from forest fires, to be so dense that ob- jects one-half mile away oannol be seen; while this year Mount Hood has been quite clearly seen from the city of Port land every day, when not obscured by olouda. The rains were of 00 benefit, except to lay tbe dust; no damage resulted there from. Bop picking has oommenoed and is progressing most favorably; it will beoome more general from today. The weather during the pB8t week wag quite favorable for the development of bop lice aud mold; Ibe low temperature ohecked the injtny oommenoed by tbe rains. Reports from hopyards indicate thai the hops are a good orop and much oleaoer than usual. Lice and mold are muoh less plentiful than they bave been for several years; this is probably due to tbe warm, dry weather of August, the clearness of tbe eky, which prevented the humidity from beooming high, and tbe comparatively low lemperatureB pre vailing during the cloudy weather of tbe past week. The grain orop ig practically out of the way. Some threshing ig still In be done, but the bulk of the erop Is iu etore bonses. Work ie now centering in hop. fields and orchards. The Bartlett pear orop hag been gathered, and it ig reported to be very large. Prune drying baa oommenoed and is being aotively pushed iu all getitiong. The prune crop ig go large tbat there are not guffloienl dryers U handle it; gome are making prune brandy. The apple orop is maturing; it, likewise, ia verp large. Melong of all kindg are plentiful. Beans are being harvested. Sorghum aud gweet potatoes oontion growing. Corn is not filling well. Pasturage ie good and tattle are la fine condition. Fall plowing ban oommenoed in a few looalitieg. The farmere are rapidly cleaning up tbeir aeagon'g work, aud are now prepariug for the fairs, exposition, etc. The season bag been fruitful and guootssful. lAgTIBR OKIOOK.
