The Southern Pacific Railroad Co. an
nounces a rate of $1.95 from Indepen
dence to Portland. Formerly we paid
$3.05. This, as will be seen, is even a
cut under the 3 cents per mile rate an
nounced by Mr. Harriman while on a
visit to Oregon recently. Independence
is a competitive point and is in a position
to secure the most favorable terms.
Freight rates will be next in order to fall
under the knife.

1i!T1.axi, Ouk, Tuesday, June 3, '02.
The past week lias been on of great
extremes in temperature. The first two
days were bright and warm, after which
it turned cool und cloudy. Frequent small
showers have fallen during the latter por
tion of the week, and on several mornings
during temporary clearing spells, light
frosts occurred in the eastern portion of
the state.
The maximum, or day temperatures in
Western Oregon ranged between 51 and
90 decrees, and the minimum, or night
temperatures between 12 and 5(1 degrees.
In Eastern Oregon tho maximum tem
peratures ranged between 50 and 86 de
grees, and tho minimum temperatures be
tween 31 and 56 degrees.
The condition of grain continues good,
especially in the eastern portion of the
state. There has ben plenty of moisture
for spring sown wheat, and as the plant
has stooled nicely the yield promises to
bo larger than usual. Fall wheat is head
ing, but owing to tho cool weather, it ts
making slow advancement, and steady,
mild temperatures are now needed to
mature a plump and hard kernel.
Some a'.falfa has been cut m Southern
Oregon, and clover and alfalfa is generally
ready for harvesting, which is returded by
the unsettled condition of the weather.
Pastures continue in excellent Condition
and stock is now fat and sleek. Sheep
shearing is progressing slowly and tho clip
will probably be an average one.
Sugar beets in Union county are being
thinned and the crop is doing nicely.
Gardens, corn, potatoes, and hops, all
need warmer weather, but they continue
thrifty and promising, although very backward.
The warm weather during the first of I
the week brought in a number of encour
aging fruit reports to the effect that the
damage to prunes, cherries and pears was
not aa great as expected, but the weather
later became unfavorable, and the damage
in the Willamette valley to Italian prunes
Royal Ann cherries and Bartlelt pears is
considerable. In Southern and Eastern
Oregon the fruit outlook is very prorais
ing, and there will -undoubtedly be plenty
of berries in all parts of the state. Early
apples have dropped badly, but winter
apples, as far as can be determined, have
set nicely.

characteristic Jewish nation.
There will be nn open meeting of tho
A. O. U. V. and a basket social after. All
invited.

there is peace in feoutn Alnca. It was
on October 11, 1899 that the South African
republics declared war against Great Brit
ain and immediately the troops of the
Transvaal and Orange Free State entered
Cape Colony. The struggle has been long
and sanguinary. It has cost many lives
and immense treasure. London went
frantic with joy when the announcement
was made a few days ago that the war was
over. The world rejoices with her. The
Boer, while he did not secure the objects
of the war, at least made an honorable
peace.

Jacob Bowler and wife went down to
Portland one day last week to visit their

Election in this precinct passed off very
quietly. Out of 77 registrations only 74
ballots were cast.
Salt Lake precinct has the honor of be
ing the first to report on election, McCoy
being a close second.
The cold, rainy weather which we are
having has a very bad effect on gardens,
as well as grain and rape which is being
sown in this locality quite extensively
this season.

Illinois, took the morning train for New-

The Sunday school convention, which
was to havo been held at tho Montgomery
school house on the last Sunday in Juno,
has been changed so that it will take
place on Saturday, the 2Sth, ami exercises
m the form of a picnic will be added. All
interested please note change in date,
It has seldom been onr good fortune to
havo spent an evening so joyously as was
our lot last Wednesday evening at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Caron. About
forty of their neighbors invaded their
home in the form of n surprise party, and
until the early hours of Thursday morn
ing the good time indulged in reigned
supreme. Mr. Caron and his estimable
wife, who are recent arrivals from Okla
homa, and who have permanently settled
in our midst, seemed to fully enjoy the
manner in which the Oregonians create
fun and good cheer. Mr. and Mrs. Brew
ster, old time friends and neighbors of the
Carons, were present, they being out on a
visit to Oregon, and rendered some excel
lent music on the mandolin and guitar, to
the strains of which the visiting crowd
tripped the light fantastic in genuine old
fashioned pioneer style. We say to Okla
homo, if Bhe has any more Carons to spare
to send them to Oregon, the richest and
loveliest spot ou earth.
The electipn passed off quietly, only 169
votes being poled, being some 30 short of
the usual vote here.
