The Olex correspondent of the Arling ton Appeal writes: A certain woman of this town has been under the impres sion that someone was swiping - the clothes from her lineB, and with that idea in mind she watched three nights for the thief. . The mystery has been explained, however, and the thief was found to be a poor innocent cow that was wearing a barbed wire yoke, and who had been passing under the line, taking, unintentionally, garments both unsuited for and unworn by her.

" Spokane Chronicle: Can't we have so'me system about the dandelion in dustry? If only one lawn owner in a thousand thinks it worth while to try to get rid of the dignified old weed, why not quit, fighting altogether and begin sowing dandelions in the front yards and weeding out the blue grass and clover?

' Baleful Breezes From the North Saps - . life .from Grain on , :.f ; Light Soil.' . , ,! This is a critical stage with the wheat crop, and especially the crops on the light soils of the Walla Walla valley and in tbe north and west districts of Uma tilla county.f In the immediate vicinity of Athena,,, the crops have stood: the prolonged dry weather remarkably well, and since the rain there is now no fear, but out in the Juniper and Cold Spring regions there is a different tale to tell. Conservative " wheat raisers of "that section of the country place the loss al ready at T50 per cent and, without rain and the continuance of north winds for .a few more days, the growing wheat crops Will be totally unfit for bay, even. " Over in the Walla' Walla country seven days more will probably tell the story.' Unless rain comes within that time the crop of 1903 will bo reduced materially, and if none comes for two weeks, there will probably be no more tlnn enough crop to pay expenses. Everyone is watching the situation with an interest that tinges pn eagerqees. Favorable conditions from now. on favorable conditions meaning opportuno rains and not hot winds, would bring a 75 or 80 per cent crop over most ot Eureka Flat and the valley, proper. Rancheis from the Flat expect to fall . a quarter short now. : It would not take much more bad weather, they say, to cut it down half. Around , Eureka Junction wheat is farther advanced and looking better than further north iu the Clyde and Pleatmnt View districts and still (arther back in the Snake mils.' - ' ' . ; ".; ::. celebrate - AT ATHENA, OREG. 1 A cool, shady grove, .Music, Games, Races, and Fireworks.

Farmers around Pendleton and to the northwest and south of that place, have nothing much to hope for unless rains speedily follow, accompanied by cooler weather. Athena crops are now out of danger, according to all reports. ' In Other Localttlea. ' , Wasco county. Very warm with heavy -thunder showers last Thursday; vegetation doing well, but about two weeks later than last year. ... Sherman county AQuite warm; wheat heading, very short; unless a change for the better comes very soon a large part of the crop will not pay for harvesting; fruit in good condition; pasture getting short; alfalfa good crop, but late. Morrow county. Weather favorable, except a deficiency of rain fall; good showers have occurred in some parts of the county, while in other parts crops are suffering and will be light unless more ram falls soon. ; , Union county.
