The "Rowena." This little 8h ing
craft lies on its sides on the south beach of
Yaquina Bay, no serious damage having
been dons to it. It could be gotten off
without much trouble. The boat was built
at Coos Bay, and named after a woman
there. By careless seamanship it was taken
out too far from shore and put Into Ya
quinaBay in a very reckless manner. The
sailors didn't seem to know much about
running even a square ended scow.

of Linn Engine Co. No. 3, held last even
ing the following officers were elected for
the ensuing year : D R N Blackburn,

man and S J Guiss were elected delegates
to the N W Association to meet in Tacoma.

have been occurring in different parts of
the county. A small fire set on the farm
ofMrMose Parker spread and burned
stveial bushels of wheat and some fence.
Another one on the farm of W K Temple
did more damage, burning wheat and fen
ces and very nearly capturing Mr Tem
ples barn, which was only saved by hard
work.

Street Lights At the last meeting
of City Council four more electric lights
were ordered by the city. One was di
rected to be placed In front of the Depot.
The others were to be located by the com
mittee on streets and public property. The
Democrat Is Informed that the corrmit
tee has selected the following places for
them : one on First Street.at Jackson,the
street leading to the Woolen Mills. One
on Montgomery, about 'hree blocks south
01 the one already on that street, and one
in the First Ward near Thos Brink's resl.
dence. As the lights are to be spread out
and limited for the present some are ad
vocating that one of these new lights
should be placed near the U. r. depot in
stead of so close to those already running,
The Minstrels. The Sacramento Bet
of Aug. 10th says : About one thousand
people assembled at the Opera House last

the program was well carried out. If en
thusiastic applause may betaken for any
criteiion of anptoval. The singing was
especially good and may be considered the
best part of the evenings entertainment
the sketches were very amusing and some
excellent specialty work was done, on the

WEATlini CHOP BI'LLETIN NO. 10.
Oregon State Weather Bureau pe''
allng tilth V. S. Signal Service Central of
lice, Portland, Or , for the week ending
Saturday, August 31st, 1SS9 :
The temperature has been below the
normal. The nights were cool and In the
heat of the day the thermometer ranged
1 1 oin 65 to 90 degress. The rainfall has
been aljout normal. Showers of rain oc
curred In Western Orcmn on the aoth,
2;ih, 30th and 31st. In Ea tern Oregon In
a few places bhowi-rs were experienced.
Tlif c..nii:i,,,i of tie weather at present
riin!( prci.t; 1111 eat ly commencement
of the rainy m-psou.
The sunshine I: i been about or below
the normal. The rains have cleared the
atmosphere of the .moke, in many parts
of I he State and li a great extent quenched
the forest fires. The weather condition
were favorable to the grass late garden
products and late potatoes.
Farmers In sections are beginning to
wurk their summer fallow. The hop pick
ing season has commenced, the rains will
retard this operation. The general outlook
is that there will be only about a two-third
crop, but of good quality. At Eugene
contracts for hops at 10 cents per pound
are reported. The wheat output of the
section east of the Cascasdcs will be about
70 to 80 per cent of the average. It is re
ported that from Athena more wheat will
be shipped than last year. Union county
will have as much or more wheat than the
average for shipment. The best wheat of
Eastern Oregon comes from the section of
the country adjacent to Athena and Mil -ton
and from the Grande Ronde Valley.
Western Oregon has generally good wheat
especially so on the "west side" of the
Willamette River. The genera! average
of wheat is poorer In quality than former
ly, showing plainly the effects of the hot,
dry weather. Eastern States average
about 15 to 20 bushels of wheat per acre.
Oregon, in the warmest and driest year on
record yields on an average in western
part of State from 25 to 30 bushels per
acre. In the Eastern section from 18 to
23 bushels per acre.
The oat crop is not an average. Hay in
sections is plentiful ; in others somewhat
scaice. Grapes will be about or slightly
below an average In yield, but they are
very fine. The Delaware, Concord, Mus
cadine and Itlack Hamburg are the vane
tips Ihnt nr n! thp mnfit value tn manv
sections of the State. The pear crop is
good, 6ame for peaches and plums ; they
are however, slightly smaller in size. The
dry weather and Codlin moth injured the
apple crop to some extent.
Tnere is no change In the condition of
the rivers reported. In sections of East
ern Oreeon manv of the springs and
creeks are furnishing a goodly supply of
water, in other sections they are absolute
ly dry.
