General Reports Are Not Very Encour aging, There are few correspondents who report even a fair condition of the crops except fruit, while the majority of them report decidedly poor prospects. The absence of . rain has been very injurious to all ; grain crops. The temperature has ; been free from all extreme heat, and it has been due entirely to the cooler weather that the conditions are as good as they are. A few ex tracts from the report of the cor . respondent; may convey a better idea of the true state of affairs than a summary could do: "Ridgeway, Wasco county Ten der vegetation injured by late frosts; very dry; crops will be light; sheep taken to the mountain ranges; graBs on range drying up.?' - VHappy Ridge, Wasco ' county Crops are looking pretty well, but the grasshoppers - are. destroying lots of grain." "Wasco, Sherman countyThe prospects for grain in this "county are very poor; dry winds and no rain have done the damage." , ' "Condon, Gilliam , county No one will have a full crop in this county. The ground is dry, and there is no growth to the grain crop. The grasshoppers have done considerable damage." ' ' -,: "Lexington, Morrow county The past week has been much .warmer than heretofore. The grain fields are entirely void of any green thing with the exception of a very fc w fields next to the mountains. The fruit crop looks very encouraging. Sheep on range in prime condi tion." , ; "Heppner, Morrow county Rye t near town average three-fourths--of " a ton to the acre; no improvement in prospects." "Uoosberry, Morrow county Some say that the best of our land will not give 10 bushels to the acre. Grass on the commons almost gone though stock is yet in good condi tion." - "Weston, ' Umatilla county Wind from north and very dry. Fall-sown grain on summer fallow needs rain to make it fill well, but will make a fair crop anyhow. Spring grain still drying up." J Vaughan's Racket Store 807, ASSOCIATION BLOCK?

"Cove, Union county Rain bad ly needed; crops ' suffering. Hay crop light. A great many acres are burning up, and will amount to nothing without a rain. ' A good rain would yet make a fair crop, Pail grain is yet in fair condition," "La Grande, Union county Hay on the bottom lands will be an average crop. Grain on the hillsides are drying up. - Fruit is good." ... The above reports cover the main growing sections of Eastern Oregon, and it is seen the condi tions of good crops are wanting. In Wallowa county the crops are all better than in our sections. To the south and east of the Blue mountains the irrigated . crops are all right; elsewhere they areflsoor or fair. . , The fruit prospects are"good; in fact, in the more purely fruit sec tions they are excellent. ," ' The week -closes with excellent prospects for all crops west of the Cascade mountains and the reverse to the east of them. Insurance Not Allowed. ' After a week's labor in examin ing the property and investigating, the board of adjusters on Cunning ham's' loss, filed a formal notico on Cunningham and all of th6 mortgagees that the companies will refuse to pay anything on the insurance policies, except a few trifling items. The policies affect ed amount to $36,000, and the loss claimed is nearly $50,000. Tbe reasons for denial of liability, as named in the notice, are mis representation, - over ; valuation., taking out additional insurance without notifying the companies, and placing mortgages on the pro perty without consent of the com panies. The, case has been given into the 'hands of attorneys by Cunningham to'.' fight ' it in the courts.' ; ? " 7 '-; '" : . ' u You should buy your goods .atrvr: H:nsr, proprietor.
