HUNT PASS OVER CASCADES. Late Spring and Long Dry Spell Have John Mlnto Believes Stock Can Be Coat Much. Driven Over Mountains. Albany— Bain, which w m general over the Willamette valley last week„ came too late to be of great benefit to iarmera. Had the abowera come two weeka earlier, thonaanda of dollara would have been aaved for the iarmera o f Linn county. Aa it ia, the cropa are far below the average for Linn oounty iarmera, in many inatancea are a total failure. The only benefit the farming community will derive from the raina will be in the way of gardena and the very late aown spring oata, of which there ia a small acreage. For two months not a drop of rain iell on the grain fields of the county. Thia ia drouth almoat unprecedented here. Ita evil effect waa aggravated by the late spring raina. Farmers gen erally were depending upon putting in a greater acreage than usual in spring sown grain, and the unusually bad weather of the late winter seemed to assure some good working days in the ■early spring. Instead of this, the rain held on until almost too late to plant the spring grain at all, and when good weather did come, it developed into a- drouth. The result is that spring grain is heading a few inches from the ground, and much of it will not be bound at a ll. That which is threshed will yield poorly. The heads are small and very poorly filled. Nor is the fall sown grain of its usual standard of excel lence. That part of the fall grain that was sowed on low ground will be fair, in some instances making three-fourths of a crop rarely promising a full crop. The hay crop has not averaged more than half what it was in years gone by. The haying season is about over, and the general report is half a crop. This will put fanners in I inn county in hard circumstances this fall. Al ready many of them are buying feed for their stock, and but few will have enough to last the winter through. The price of feed is rising in the coun ty , and the mills are eel ling it every day to the farmers who were never •compelled to buy feed at any season before. There are some who will have to buy wheat for their own family con sumption before the yeai ends. Coming Events. Albany— John Mlnto, of Balem, one of the pioneers in the Bantiam moun tain district of Oregon, will in a few days head a party from the end of the Corvallis A Eastern railroad, on the north fork of the Sentiam river, in quest of a shorter route to connect the railroad with the Deschutes country in Eastern Oregon. Mr. Mlnto has long entertained the idea that there is a pass through the Cascade mountains at this point where it would be possible to construct a trail for driving stock overland from the Eastern Oregon ranges to the eastern end of the Corvallis A Eastern line. He has interested Manager Edwin Stone, of the Corvallis A Eastern, in the work, and an effort to lay. out the route of the proposed route will be made in a few days. The old Mi nto trail, which extends from the end of the old railroad grade to the Eastern Oregon country, has !>een used for years by those who know the short cats that connect the western and eastern parts of the state. Bat Mr. Minto is satisfied that there is a shorter cut yet, and that it could be made of great service to the stockrais- era of Eastern Oregon in shipping their stock to market. Directory of Oregon Officials. Salem— Secretary of State Dunbar has issued an official directory contain ing the names, addresses and official positions of the state and county offi cers. The directory is in the form of a small pamphlet. Copies have been sent t all officers and others desiring copies can secure them by applying to the sec retary of state. In this publication the political affiliation of each county offi cer is shown by a letter following the name. Many of the states publish an official “ blue book” containing several hundred pages and giving complete in formation concerning the careers of public officers. The pamphlet issued by Oregon contains but 18 pages and contains the information most frequent ly desired by persons transacting busi ness with public officers. Laborers Needed at Oregon City. Oregon City— Labor of all kinds was never more plentiful nor were wages ever better than they are in this city this season. It seems impossible to find available .men to perform the many improvements that are being made. The Willamette Pulp & Paper mills has been advertising for addition al men to assist in the building of their new mills where 200 laborers are al ready employed. The management of the local woolen mills ia finding it next to impossible to engage a sufficient force of operatives. Big Loss By the Trost. Hillsboro— Reports from all parts of the county show that the frost last week blighted vegetables on all beaver dam lands, and it is estimated that the loss by the freeze will reach $60, 000. One vegetable grower on the Tual atin lowlands places his loss at $1,000. Rich Strike in Bohemia. Cottage Grove— Two rich strikes are reported just made in the Go'den Rule and the Great Eastern. These strikes are in the Bohemia district. The ore is oxidised, and very rich in free gold. ru OREGON S hort L ine AND U nion P acific Ore Specimens Prom Douglas. PORTLAND MARKETS.
