TI1K OREGON STATESMAN: FKIlJAY, MAY 14.1! FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY. Yaulet Chops. Aitor traveling through the different portions of Linn county, and conversing with olwerving farmers from different sections, it is ascer tained that crops are looking remarkably well throughout the county. Wheat, es pecially, is very promising, Wing very Walthy in color and thrifty in growth. It promises n unusual large yield. Win ter oats are more thrifty than wheat, and promises to make a large crop. Spring grain has been unusimllv favored by growing weather, and. from present in dications, will not fall much below tail own grain this season. Oiserviug strain producers put the yield of fall wheat for tiie coming crop at about twenty bushels per acre. "With the present upward ten dency of the wheat market and a chh1 croj) promised, the outiook for farmers can lie said to be Hattering. Albany Herald. Oik Fool.

In yester day's issue in speaking of the withdrawal by President Cleveland of the nomination of Mr. Green as consul at Kobe, Japan, some errors appear. First, his name is Warren Green of Louisville, Kentucky, son of lr. Norvin Green, president of the Western Union telegraph company, and not Norvin Green as stated. Second, he was not appointed as consul to Kobe, consequently was not Mr. Patton's suc cessor. He was appointed early in May, lSSii, to succeed Gen. T. B. Van Bureu at Kanagawa, Yokohoma. Being a Ken tuckian by birth and an intimate friend and companion oi Boyd Winchester, his knowledge of the noble game of poker was displayed to the foreign population at Yokohoma with disastrous effects to his private exchequer, hence the objec tion of the committee on foreign rela tions of the senate to his confirmation, and subsequent withdrawal by the presi dent. A brigadier-general of North Carolina named Jernigan, was appoint ed as Mr. Patton's successor, but the senate has refused confirmation, and he still lingers on American soil, watching, waiting and hoping. The duties ot the office at Kobe are performed by a vice consul, his compensation must necessar ily come through the chief officer. As the new applicant cannot draw his salary untii he enters upon his duties, the query arises, who is consul at Kobe, aud who draws the salary? This is the eouiplicat en part of the ease.

Koseburg will not be able to "boast" the "only juvenile brass band in Oregon," iu a few days. There is music in the air, and a whole lot more arrived by Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express yesterday, from 'Portland. There were eleven brass instruments in the package, and they will lie "blowed" by the same number of young boys in the near future, under the tutorship of Prof. J. M. Coomer, leader of the 11. A. C. band. The boys will prolwblv adopt the name, "Salem Juvenile Band," but that appears indefinite, yet. The list of members will le ready for publication by the first issue of this pajwr in the coming week. The instruments are all brass, of French manufacture, light and hand some, and very beautiful in tone. They were purchased of Koehler & Chase, of Portland, at an average cost of $20.70 each. It is understood that the boys who intend takiug parts in the band have considerable natural musical taleut, and will undoubtedly make creditable music in time. Success to you, boys. Gold Hill Mixes.

The ball game Friday drew a big crowd to the depot, notwithstanding the fact that the weather was not very propi tious. The game was enjoyed by the onlookers and a good, friendly spirit ani mated the players. The playing was not so good as might have been expected, several errors being made, and McCiilly, of the Owls, making a home run by a good bat. The Owls batted Click's pitching from the start, and the game soon became close. The innings were played aliout as follows : First Inning The Owl club ojxMied up by Smith, who led off with a three base bit, followed by Baxter and l'atsoii, who each made their second on errors snd struck round, scoring seven points. The IVmbtfiils seem rattled, and started off badly, the catcher lieing disabled and pitcher was knocked dow n by Fenton on a wild throw. They put Mattock ixdini.t the liat and restored Clark to conscious ness. The ltoubtfuls scored onlv one tally. Second Inning. The Owls again touk a spurt aud made sis more tallies.
