A AN EXPLODED ABSURDITY. Portland People arc Waking up. The new Drilling journal just started at Portland u I bo gets onto the Oregonians lead trust Bugaboo. Here is what it says; “ During the lust week The Pacific Miner has interviewed numerous gentlemen engaged in mining, and interested in that industry, relative to the statement in the Oregonian of May 27 th to the effect that a brother of Senator Clark, of Montana, had been in Portland looking over smelt­ er conditions here, and had stated that the enterprise would not pay here, because the American Smelting and Refining Company controlled the market for lead, and would not purchase that commodity for smelt­ ers outsido of its combine. In the first place, it is not true that Senator Clark’s brother was here for any such purpose. Mr Clark has purchased a home in Portland and, has been arranging for changes and improvements in the residence and other buildings. He has had no smelter project in view, other than, The Pacific Miner is informed the discouragement of such undertaking because the family our Price«! owns large blocks of stocks in tho smelter trust. All those interviewed expressed amazement that a journal, usually so well informed, should givo public utterance to such an absurdity as that contained in the Oregonian of last Monday. “ There is not a sinctilla of fact in the statement that our lend could not be sold at the regular market value,” Mr Chase of tho Montana Metallurgical Works, rcmnrked. “ It M i s s E tta S m ith . is as stable an article of commerce as O dd F ellows B uilding gold or silver, almost, and I ennnot Prices reasonable.

FINE DECORATION GAME A H ot O ne . — On Deooration Day, an immense crowd witnessed an amusing game of base ball between the business men of this city and the professional men. The game was an interesting one from the fact that regular ball players were not allow­ ed in the game. Andy Nelson the popular druggist twirled the sphere for the business men and Prof Briggs did the curving act for the profes­ sionals. But five innings were play­ ed and judging from the unspriglitly movements of the players, for the next few days after the game, that was enough for all parties. The business men were up against it this time however and were never in the game although they created en­ ough amusement to make up for deficient playing. Wm Johnson of the firm of Baker & Johnson was the star for the business men, easily making two hits (hit th« ground) while several others only scored one, theywere hard ones however, ff they were not so gracefully done. Prof Briggs surprised himself and every one else by making a genuine double play. It was not on tho program but it counted just the same. D Bristow and R W Newland also eoverod themselves with glory and perspiration in vain attempts to stop the ball at critical moments, while Jas Ostrander and Dr Petrie played well. Jim missed the ball by a close mma ! » b t) m w o o OUKJ t o tJX- tract a few scores from the plate. John Holland got on to ono of the Profs, curves with his full 250 lbs, and now he says the flies at the Hotel are not in it with the one he knocked out to centerfield.

Tho past week has been cool, un­ usually cloudy, and wuh deficient rainfall, except that well distributed showers oceured in the northeast portion of the State on Saturday. Light frosts occurred Thursday morning in many sections of the State, but no damage resulted from them. The soil is sufficiently moist in all sections of tho State, except in Jackson county, whore more rain is needod. There has been a marked improve­ ment in the condition of all kinds of grain during tho week. Tho hes­ sian fly in Washington county is not doing as much damage as was cx-' pooled, and there are practically uo complain!« this week of injury bv tho grain aph s. Some few fields of fall wheat on low land have turned yellow, but tho hulk of the crop is in excellent condition uml that the farthest advanced is heading nicely. Spring grain is everywhere growihg well uud promises to be an excellent crop. Hops, potatoes and gardens have made good advancement, but corn continues somewhat backward on account of the prevailing cool nights.

Strawberries are abundant, and tbo prospects are also favorablo for a large crop of blackberries. Tree fruit continuos dropping in some sections, but complaints of this character are diminishing. Prunes are very uneven, owing to the frosts, some correspondents report that the trees havo all tho fruit they can carry, while others near by report the crop a total failure. The peach crop will undoudtly he short. Ap­ ples continue promising.
