The wheat crop of the United
States will be short. Harvest is
now far enough along to get a reli
able estimate. While the crop is
short, the advance in prices will
make it worth almost as much as
last year.
There is something wrong with
Portland's police service or with
the Portland papers, but from the
long lists of crimes in the Oregon
metropolis, it looks like the papers
are doiDg their duty. Oil up your

thing that will be of great benefit
to the county. These people are
now in a position to get back some
of this money expended. They
deserve it.
Strange to say, notwithstanding
the Heppner disaster, the volume
of business here for the month of
July just closed has been greater
than the corresponding month of
last year. Heppner is the logical
business point of Morrow county
and will continue to be one of the
best towns in the Northwest.

Sheriff Shutt deserves much
credit for his untiring work in the
capture of the Chinese murderer,
Wong Hong Quang. With very
little to work upon he labored
night and day. When Mr. Shutt

garret, he took his life in his hand,
but for this brave act a red handed
murderer is now behind iron bars.
The actual mining of coal for
commercial purposes has been
commenced at the "Willow creek
coal mines. This is what the peo
ple of Morrow county have been
looking for. There can be no bet
ter evidence of the existence of
coal in the Willow creek mine than
the fact that the coal is now in the
bunkers and will be kept there in
sufficient quantities to meet all
demands. The mines are now
opened up and there is plenty of
coal right now to supply the local
demand. It is only a question of
taking out.
Weekly Crop Hullelin.
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of
the Weather Bureau, Oregon Sec
tion, for the week ending Tuesday,
July 28.
GENERAL SUMMARY.
The forepart of the week was
warm and showery, while the lat
ter part was clear and cool, es
pecially at night. The showers
were not heavy enough to be of
benefit to corn and pastures, and
in some of the coast cfmnties the'
interfered with haying. The hay
harvest is now well advanced, and
in .the southern sections many
farmers have finished cutting their
second crop of alfalfa. The hay
crop, as a whole, will be less than
last year, and it will fall slightly
below the average for the last ten
years. Pasture on the ranges is
drying up, but it continues good in
the mountains.
The weather has been very fa
vorable for filling and ripening
grain. The heads are of good size
and the berry is plump, but the
stand is thin, and consequently the
yields are falling below the aver
age. The grain harvest has be
come general in the Columbia river
valley and in southern sections,
and well started in the Willamette
valley. Oats promise better yields
than either wheat or barley.
The cloudy weather during the
forepart of the week, caused lice to
increase in the hop yards, and
some spraying has been done.
Hops continue thrifty and no se
rious damage from vermin has yet
occurred. The crop is not so far
advanced as usual at this season
of the year, and some fears are en
tertained that it will not mature
before the fall rains begin.
Potatoes and gardens are doing
finely, but the nights have been
too cool for corn to make rapid
growth, and this crop now needs
rain. Field onions are reported to
be generally in good condition, al
though in a few places they are af
fected by blight.
A short crop of peaches is being
marketed, and plums are beginning
to ripen. Prunes and pears con
tinue to make excellent progress,
and these crops promise well.
Apples are uneven, and an average
crop is not expected. During the
past week high winds in the
Grande Konde valley have caused
considerable green fruit to drop.
