Dated June 15,1803. Eastern Oieson Crops. The warm weather was beneficial to all growing vegetation, and the change to cooler, with the few showers, are also a benefit. The grain crop was never mora promising, There are a 'ew sec tions where the attempt to grow grain should not be made that have only fair prospects, but in the wheat belts tbe prospects could not be excelled. Tbe dews at night are heavy and a few inches below the surface the soil is moist, so it now appears that nothing can injure the crop. Fall sown wheat and barley are bead ing; spring sowing is making a healthy and rapid growth. Haying has com menced ; the hay crop is reported to be good in every eection. Corn is makings rapid growth. Strawberries are ripen ing in tbe plateau region. In the Col umbia river valley, large shipments to eastern mountain points and to Mississ ippi river valley points continue. Ship menta will become less, owing; to the fall in prices. Tbe prospects for fruit are generally excellent. There are a few scattered localities, not really fruit districts, where small cropa will result. In the vicinity of Day ville, Grant county, the fruit prospects are poor. Cattle have good range food nd are in prime condition. A. lare number of cattle and sheep are being purchased aud driven from the ranges for shipment east. . Jack Robinson Burned Out. The Boise steam laundry, be'onging to J. F.
