Dam-
SMALL AMOUNT THRASHED.
Our farmers Saturday, were feelmg
quite buoyant. They thought the ram
was over and that the grain crop was
saved beyond (Joubt.
Hunday morning about 8:S0 o'clock
tha rain began falling and continued
all day, and showers ocoured during
the night aud tor iy up to the time of
going to press.
llie farmers who came to town today
wore apprehensive faces. They were
of the opinion that if Hie rain should
ceise today or tomorrow, that the
greater purl ion of the crop would be
saved. Bu: if it should continue u few
(lays longer that the grain in the
xliwk would lie mined. I he. standing

weather yet without harm.
Oily u small p-rc.iutage of the
wheat crop was threshed b firs the
rain not to exceed 15 or 20 tier d-iil.

the following mi in be r of bushels:
Springfield 6.IK-1)

Irving 6,000

This crop Is practically uilnjured,
and is in no danger whatever.
HOP CHOP
Some Hews Krom Mew York Mate
The Waterville, (N Y) Times, in n
recent issue, says of the hop market In
that place:
Since our last issue we have heard of
two sales of '98 stock. James Baldwin
sold 47 bales at about Oo and China
Smith 30 at 11c. Daniel Livertnore
has sold his six bales of Palmer Seed
lings '09s, (or 100. Mrs A J Hale Iibh
Hold her West Seedlings, not yet pick
ed, about 12 bales, at 16o and Mrs Win
P Locke 20 bales of sumo variety for
10c. Offers of from 12c for the late
crop have been made but so far not accepted.
All are watching the yards very
closely now on account of Ihe critical
state they are in regarding lice. Thus
far no damage to speaK of has been
done. It all depends on whether the
lice Increase aud spread to all the yards
or disappear as suddenly as tl.ey camu.
There is no denying that there are lice,
some of the yards being nadly aflllclid
with Ibem, but it Is hoped that the vis
itation may be short lived.
The Oneida, (N Y) Union of last
week says:
There is but comparatively little do
ing in the way of hop transactions
here or elsewhere. A few of the Pal
trior Seedling and other early varieties
have been harvested in different parts
of the county and a few light sales are
noted at from 16 to 18 cents per pound
But these sales have no bearing on
toe market In a general way. E J
Smith, of this city, contracted 100
bales ou Saturday last, at 12 cents per
pound, to be delivered in October,
money for picking to be advanced and
quality as they grow. Aaiong the
lots secured by him was half the
amounts grown by Ira L Snel', Ail
dlson Snell and Christ Bros, also 10
bales of W I Durlee.

REMARKABLE INTERVIEW.
Loudon, Aug 21. The Kapha
respondent of tho Dally News
graphs the substauce of an interview
he had with Admiral Dewey there
during the admiral's recout visit Ad
miral Dewey said lie believed the
Philippine question would short'y he
solved. In his judgment, the Inhabi
tants are capable of self-government,
ami the only way to settle the insur
rection ai d insure prosperity is to con
cede it to them. Ho declared that lie
was uever In favor of violence toward
the Filipinos, and remarked that after
autonomy had been conceded, annex
ation might be talked of. When n-sed
whether a conflict hutnem Germany
aud the Uulled Stules over the Philip
pines wero possible, Aumiial Dewoy
replied, according to tho correspondent:
It is iiiipnsslblo to foresee ttle ilia-

Memory nt Sam Simpson.
the
The Nestor of the Oiegon bar and
bench, John Burnett, eulogizes Sum
Simpson ns pr.et and man. He con
eludes his tribute, in tho Sunday Oro-
gonian, as follows:
"In tha i arly '70s we wrought to
gether in the office of our mutual friend
and tutor, Colonel Kelsay. Sam was
my friend, and in all the lips aud
down, of life, whenever and wherever
we met, the warm handclasp sect the
blood Imundlng through my veins and
thrilled at ouce the deepest recesses of
my heart. He was h genial warm
hearted friend, and as white a man as
God ever made. It bus been well said
by tha Oregoniau that the deah of
Sam L Simpson leaves an absolute
blank In the Hue of poetical genius;
and whalovor the future may bring
forth, I will udd that as Scotland has
but oue Burns, so Oregon will never
have but one Sam Simpson.
'Tbe time will come when Oregoui-
ans, wherever dispersed over the face
of the earth, will take as much pride
in celebrating the birthday of the poet
lauieate of Oregon as is now taken by
the countrymen of Burns lu celebra
ting his birthday."
KILLING FILIPINOS
Oregon Volunteers Tell of Their
Experience and Feelings
in War.
Johu 1). Newsoiuo at Home.
Over a year ago John D Newsome,
of Prinoville, while attending the
State University, enlisted for the war
with Spain and went to the Philip
pines with (Jo C, the only Crook county
representative.
"Johnny" returned to his home near
Priueville Monday, August 19, and on
Tuesday a large crowd of Prlnevllle
people gave him a flattering public re
ception at the I O O V hall. The Prine
ville Review has this to say of theevent:
"Our reception may not have been on
an extensive scale as was given in some
of the valley towns, but the remarks,
such as 'Johnny, I am glad your are
back,' and others of like tenor showed
that our people meant what they said.
Johnny passed through the campaign
without a scratch, but Bays that he
does not want to duplicate his ex
perience in the Philippines, and that
he will be content with tbe life of a
civilian hereafter.

SHOOTING AND STABBING.
Portland Telegram, August 111.
"How many Filipinos did you ac
tually kill?" was asked of a volunteer.
He winced at being asked the ques
tion in such a cold-blooded manner,
aud thought a moment.
"Well," be replied slowly, "I would
not like to say, It ib a pretty hard
thing to say that this one killed so
many men or that one so many more,
because we all shot together. Some
times a dozen persons might shoot at
tbe same man. I remember one In
s'ai t-e when about 20 of us popped
away at a particular Filipino almost
simultaneously. He had beeu hidden,
aud jumped up to make a run for his
lines. We found him luter perforated
with about 20 I ullets. I dont think
any of us missed. Except when on
the picket line, or doing sharpshootera'
duty, the rule was to blaze away at any
old thing aa long as it was black."
Another volunteer questioned bud a
moro exciting experience.
"I never want to run a man through
wP h a bayonet again," ho Bald. ''We
were in close quarters. One big black
fellow, almost naked, hud his manbote
upraised to Btrike, and even then I
hesitated before plunging aiy bayonet
iuto him. The excitement of the
fight sustained me for the time, but 1
have seen that fellow's agonized, tor
tured look a thousand times since
then. It is no easy job to kill even a
'nigger' in close quarters."
Mill More Counterfeiting.
