R. & N.,reporta the Port land Oreconian. and says that stories of damage to growing wheat by frost in that territory are unfounded. He found wheat in excellent condition throughout the territory visited and says there will be a crop this season that will equal the large one of last year. The crop is all in and rain is needed. However, sev era! weeks will elapse before the lack of rain will work any d&miara. v Mr. Morse says that In the territory to the two feeder lines he traveled over, there is about 10 per cent increase in the barley acreage, with a proportionate fallinir off of Winter wheat, leaving the total grain acreage about the same as last season JEALOUSY CAUSES DOUBLE TRAGEDY Crazed Lover KillsCirl, Wounds her Escort, then Shoots Himself near Morgan Was Well-known Here.

Nora Wright wounded her escort, Barney Ahalt and later turned the same sun on himself. The tragedy occurred near Morgan, between Heppner and Cecils. Morrison himself expired five hours after the tragedy, making the second death. Ahalt's wound is comparatively slight and he will be all right in a few days. It appears that Morrison was much in love with Miss Wright but she did not look v-ith favor upon his attentions. Seeing Miss Wrisht and Ahault out riding Sunday afternoon, Morrison went alonar the railroad track to head them off. Getting ahead of them he climbed a bank where the wairon road runs through a cut and then, ordering them to say their crayers. opened fire. Ahault at once whipped the team into a run and tried to es cape. Morrison followed, empty ing his gun as he ran. Ahault drove to the home of Mr. Morgan but the girl was already dead, Ahault was wounded in the arm, but not seriously. Morrison fol owed to the Morgans where on learnine that the girl was dead, turned his gun on himself and sent a bullet into his forehead. Morrison was raised at Arhng ton. and was also well-known in Condon, having worked here last summer. He was a good, sober, industrious boy, well liked by his companions and fellow-workmen.

Althoujrh on the board o; directors of the Condon Park Association, we are forced to ad mit that the so-called park and race track are propositions ol which any city has a perrect rieht to feel ashamed. We have had two inquiries from horsemen resarding the track here, who on learning the true condition of things, would haVe nothing to do with it and several prominent business men of this city have expressed their disgust It is hieh time the matter of putting the grounds into condition was taken up, in fact they should have been fixed over a year ago, There is not one stall in the barns that is fit to stable a horse, the water is almost two hundred vards from where it should be, the erand stand is going to pieces, there never was anything that could properly be called a judge's stand, the fences are as good as none at all and last and most lm nortant the track in its present condition is not fit to browse a herd of town cows over. All the horses which are to '. be worked have to be taken" away to some town where there is a track Truly, a nice thing to be said of the progressiveness of the Con don Park Association.
