The weather during the past week was excellent for lipening spring grain and for harvest work. The hay crop has been secured in tine condition, and the yields ar generally reported satisfactory Pastures are turning brown am teed on ranges is getting short Stock in general continues in gooi condition, but in the dairy districts the supply of milk is diminishing due to the shortage in green feed and because the Hies have become unusually numerous and trouble some. In portions of the Wil lamette valley grasshoppers are reported thick in the clover fields although so far they have done but little damage. The wheat harvest is being push ed in all sections of the State, and reports from the harvest fields are uuanimous as to the excellent quality of 'the berry, but nearly everywhere the yields are turning out smaller than last year. Oats are a fine crop, and barley yields are good. Corn has made excellent pro gress during the week; it is now tasseling in the Willamette valley, and in southern sections the ears ar. forming fairly well. Lice aie unrsually numerous in the hops, and the plant is from a week to ten days backward, which condi tious excite considerable appr3 tension as to the outcome of this crop. Small fruits, such as raspberries, currents, blackberries and huckle berries, are abundant. Prunes during the past ten days have shed to an alarming extent, and there is no question but that the yields will fall grertly below the e timates made earlier in the sea BUU - ppiea, an-iuugu uumvw., continue uoing wen, anu me crop will nrouabiv be a lairiv eoou one.

CONSENT WAS UNEXPECTED. Why a Little GLrl W W'iUlnfr to Have am Opratioa I'v-rfoo-iatMl o tier Eye. There is one little jtrirl in Wa.shinpton who recently irave her parents an exhi bition of her nature for which they were totally unprepared. The child was cross-eyed, and her afliiction was a source of extreme annoyance to her self and family. An oculist was con sulted, who advised an operation to remedy the defect, and so it was de cided to take the little one to a. hos pital in lialtimore. The utmost se crecy wis observed in the matter. Miss Ani.ie had once made a great fuss about having a tooth pulled, and, of course, it was to be expected that she would enter perious- objections to an operation on her eyes, says the Wash ington I'ost. She was taken to I'altimore under the impression that she was jroiiijur mi a pleasure trip with her father and mother. When they arrived at the hospital the mother took her daughter in her lap and nervously broached the real object of the trip. She set forth in all its triple horror the embarrass ment which is the lot of the cross eyed person, stating that the trouble would increase aa she grew older. "Now, Annie," she said, finally, "we have brought you over here to have your eyes straightened. It won't hurt you at all. Wouldn't you like to hare your eyes like other people's?" ''You just bet I would," exclaimed Annie, to the astonishment of the oth ers. "You can go ahead and do any thing1 you want, and I don't care how much it hurts. I'm just siek and tired of having- a pack of colored boys spit into their hats and cross their fingers every time the v meet me. The operation was performed forth with, and the young1 lady has as pood a pair of eyes as anybody in Washing ton. I'rvreeili of a I'ond.

ICE STOVES ARE IN VOGUE. nhey Are Fed with Halt aad AVJZ: Keep the Huue Cool lu W'nrm Wvallmr. There'll be unalloyed joy! for the fat man this summer. He won't have to go around with a wilted collar and with perspiration pouring from hi face. So more w ill the irritating and profanhy-provoking1 "prickly heat" make him feel as if he were being slowly tortured to death ly pieieiiig with cambric needles. Prof. Wiliis Moore, chief of the weather bureau, has determined to put on the market his "ice stove," which is guaranteed to m,nke any homes cool euouirh for a polar bear to live in with comfort, snyg' a Washington report. The icepick will take the place of the poker, and, instead of sitting around wielding a palm-lenf fan, all that will be necessary will be to throw a couple of hundred pounds of ice ir.tc Jie "stove." Instead of going to the refrigerator for one of ihe compo nent parts of a "high ball," vou need :nly open the door of the "ice stove," select a chunk to tit the ghir-s and pro ceed as usual. Scotch and. siphon wa ter, together with tomatoes and let ;uce, may be kept together in the tove. The "ice stove," like all other stoves, minxes in all sizes. It is a big copper .cylinder, which is filled with ice and salt. These directions accompanyeach stove: "If in a bedroom and the tempera ture outside is more than 106 degrees, put three pair of blankets on the bed, ihuck 50 pounds of ice into the stove, elope the indows and retire." "Users of the ice stove are cautioned to keep overcoats and earmutl's where they can be quickly put on. Don't store in camphor at the bottom of the. trunk. No moths can live where there is an ice stove. "Don't go into the warm open air when frostbitten by the use of the ice stove. "Scrape some snow from the side of the stove and rub ears or extremi ties vigorously. "Use the pick, which is sent free with each stove, to break the ice m the water pitchers every morning. A ham mer or an iron duu.bheil ;..,i,v be n.scd in emergencies, but the pick is better. "Don't put mint and butter in the same eon'U". rtnient in the stove. The mint is often stronger than the butter, and wheti the latter is spread on hot bread ;h flavor is often distasteful, even to those who like julips. "Ad bottled goors n;i;y he kept in the ice stove. The tubular arrangement in the cylinder is excellently adapUd for keepir.i' bottled goods, even after being-cpenc-d." When tramps visit a home where the ice stove is in use. instead of being made to chop wood they can be made to cr.t the ice i:;to cubes for tht stove. In return they should be given their din ner and permitted to cool off in front of the stove. Prof. Moore says that an ice stove sufficient to h -at a room 1." by IS can be bought for $2. Hi, and that ,T. worth of ice will keep it going all summer. ALL GIVE HIM THE ROAD. One Driver for VI htmi Ever)' Other TuAiuitfr on th City' Strvsta Uuieklr Maken Way.
