Wells & Kelthly, who secured the contract for painting the school bouse, have just completed the work.

Walker at 0 centa. lone l'ost. The unusually large yield, combined with the Increased acreage of wheat over previous yeara, la caualng some peculation among Morrow county farm era In regard to securing machinea to thresh their grain In due season. The only way out of the difficulty, it seems, will be to buy more machines.

Summary of Crop Bulletin. Tbe past week has been dry, warm, and In poat sections quite smoky. The grain harvest baa proceeded nninter ruptedly, and In tbe Willamette valley and tbe southern part of the state mc t of the fall grain has been threshed. Fall wheat yields east of the Cascades con tinue excellent, but in tbe Willamette valley and Southern Oregon only an average crop haa been secured. Early seeded spring wheat mad a good crop, and that seeded late is turning out bet ter tban was expected, notwithstanding that much of it has already been cut for bay on account of the etraw being too short to be harvested with binders. Oats are below the average in quantity. Barley yields are variable, but mostly good. The quality of all grain thia year is better than usual. Pasturagi is getting very short and the milk supply in the dairy districts is diminishing, flop burs are forming nicely and the vines continue free of lice. It is expected that even with fav orable weather from now on the hop ciop will be smaller tban last year, not withstanding the increased acreage Corn ia doing nicely but it would be benefited by rain, while potatoes and gardona are actually suffering for mois ture: late Dlan ted notataoa m-,'11 ever, turn out well if good rains occnr within tbe next two weeks. Early ap ples, Crawford peacbes and blackber ries are ripe and being marketed. The Margarita Fischer Co. The four nights' engagement of the Margarita Fischer company, which closed Saturday night, waa not a success financially, although the performances were good. The reason waa that so many people were out of town, and the weather waa too warm for many that were here to remain indoors during a performance. "Leah the Forsaken" waa presented was presented Saturday evening in a manner that delighted all present. The play waa an interesting one from start to finish, calling for strong characters in every part, and it is only fair to state that Misa Fischer's company made a very clever presentation and waa deserving of a full house. 44th, ANNUAL r STATE FAIR SALEM, OREGON Sept, 12 to 17, 1904 GOOD ATTRACTIONS, SPLEN DID RACING, BEST OF BAND MUSIC $10,000.00 IN PREMIUMS Cholera Infantum This disease has lost ita terrors aince Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarr hoea Remedy came into general use.
