When asked abut the crop situa tion this morning Manager Stewart of the Commercial Club save out tlu following interview: "After reading the headlines in tlu Portland dailies of yesterday and to day one would be compelled to think that the present rain storm had abso lutely bankrupted the whole Willam ette Valley. The fact is that so far we have suffered only little hiss ex cept to vetch hay. and even that may not am.. nut to much, and the indica tions are that the storm is about over. The hay crop is all cut and that part of it that is not already in the barn has been either stacked or baled, and can be protected from the weath er at very little expense. Vetch hay that has not been protected from the rain will be badly hurt, as it is easily damaged by dampness. "The major portion of the fall grain has already been threshed, and the spring grain is either standing yet Ot is in the shock. If still uncut some of it may fall and will be a little more difficult to save, and if it is in the shock no doubt the farmers will be compelled to put in some extra labor in setting out the sheaves to dry. When it clears up it will only take a short time to dry out the grain suf ficiently for threshing, and the only damage will be that some of the grain may be slightly discolored. "The crop of alsike clover is prob ably more than halt cut, and is prac tically in no danger at all, as it can stand a great deal of dampness with out loss. Enough of it has already been hulled to prove beyond doubt that we are to have the greatest of yield of this seed that has ever bene heard of in this country or any other. Several different farmers have already reported the enormous yield of 11 anil 12 bushels per acre ,and this, at the present price, will produce an in come of over $90.01) per acre. "Red clover is a little bit later than alsike, and is in no danger at all. The yield of this variety is also going to be exceedingly large. "When it comes to hops, about the only damage that has been sustained is where some of the wires have brok en and dropped the vines to the ground. This has only happened in a few places where a light-weight wire has been used, and will amount to very little anyway, as a great many of the vines can be put up again with out much trouble. The only thing to be feared is that the weather after clearing up may turn "muggy" which is almost sure to cause the hops to mold. "On the other hand the rain has been of very great benefit to lale po tatoes and all kinds of garden truck. In fact the gain here will probably more than outbalance the loss on the other hand." o MUCH MARRIED INDIAN DIES AT RIPE OLD AGE Hadlock, Wash., Aug. 16.

Henry Stewart, a prominent dairy man and farmer residing five miles southeast of this city, was in Albany today and when interviewed by the Democrat representative relative to the dr. mage to crops by the recent rains said: "I don't believ that the damage to grain will be very great, that is, pro vided the rain stops now, and I am of the opinion that more damage was done to the hops than was done to the grain. "In some sections, rust appeared on the grain, which I believe was caus ed by the. excessive rains that have fallen this summer, but 1 don't be lieve any serious damage will result from the recent downpour. The threshing outfit of Heike Ohling was at work on my oats when the storm broke and worked until late and fin ishing about half of my crop. "They were compelled to cease op erations, however, and it will prob ably be a week before they resume work again. Oals seem to bo of good grade this year and are run ning about thirty-live bushels to thu acre on my place."

An interest ing and exceedingly delicate operation was performed yesterday for the cure of one of the rarest diseases of the eye. Six-year-old Vera Evray was the patient at the Wills Kye hospital.

The cataracts were removed and an artificial "iris" or light shutter established for the restoration of sight. According to surgeons congenital cataract is one of the most rare dis eases of the eye. It happens prob ably once in 900 cases, and until re cent advances in opthalmie surgery removal in the cases of children was almost unheard of. Removal of cata ract such as the father had has always been most common, but to operate on the congenital varjety in children has only been due to the advances in : scientific surgery.
