EASTERN OREGON CROPS.
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

"Telocasset, Union county
Grain burning badly. Squirrels
doing damage. Range dried up.
Hay crop will be light."
"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

C. W. HOIvIIS, Atheiia, Oregon,
y'i John Hailey has been immortal
i'ze'd by being named in a work of
fiction. Some geniuB has written
a jnovel about the Roslyn bank
robbers, desoribing their raids and
the exciting chase made after them
by1 the officers. Mr. Hailey was
one of the pursuers, and in the
book he is mentioned as preforming
brave and daring acts. If all
descriptions of nervy men read in
books were as true to life, then
fiction would not be half fiction,
for Mr. Hailey is down on the re
cord as one of the coolest and best
officers who ever went after a
criminal in this Western county.
