TIimcouI, cloudy, and showery weather
of the previous week continued up to
to-day. It is now clear nnd very warm.
Tho wuitther llutt lias prevailed lata been
worth untold wealth to the producers of
Oreijoii, and from every section conies
the most tliittcrinn titid "eiii'oiiruiiin re

Fall and early sown wheat is now

Late sown spring wheitt is coming up
and fair yields of good hay crops will be
obtained from it, From every suction of
the Willamette, valley, reports are en
couraging showing an enthusiastic fuel

hay wus down when tho rains began,
and was slightly damaged. Timothy
hay has been grcutly improved. Oats
are doing well. Corn is thriving, but in
sections of ouslern Oregon the, weather
is too cool. Hops are gruwing Manly
and give prouiiao of a goad yield. In
