S.BS THE CHOP BVLLiiTIX. he Wi .ivl Serviee Itepwt for Gnstern tn-e-rel for the Week rZndintr A pril all. Mr. B. tJ. Pagne. obsei ver of the Unit ed ytafes Sitrnnl nervine has issnetl the wefitt.er prop bulletin for the week end ing April 26, being the seventh of the series: for the sesKon of 1-S9ti. 'Ibis oltice is iu receipt of the monthly report for February, for which it is in debted to Mr. Pague, but prefers giving the condensed weekly report as publish ed in the Portland Oiegonian, for East ern Oregon. Weather The temperature has been slightly above the normal for 'the week. There was no rainfr.ll. The days were bright, with warm snnsbine, which was about the average. The nights were cool ; light frost, which did no apparent damage, occurred on the 23d. This has been the first week of good, growing spring weather for this season, and the result is that vegetation has made marked progress. Cereals Winter wheat is invariably reported to be in excellent condition, stool large and well formed, and every prospect of excellent yield. Spring seeding in Umatilla county and in seo- tions of the valley counties is done, but most of it is about being fiuished up. Early spring grain is up. Showers are desired in the Walla Walla valley to give the late spring sown grain a start. The effect of too mnch rain on wheat iu the lowlands is shown to have been slightly injurious in the Willamette val ley. Larger spring acreage than usual is and has been sown. Fruit All varieties of fruit trees in all parts of the state, save in the more mountainous sections of Eastern Oregon, are in full bloom, and in many sections the peach and cherry blossoms are fall ing. The frost on the 23d did not injure fruit. Wild strawberries are in bloom. Grape vines are budding out rapidly in Wasco, Sherman, Morrow and Gilliam, and back from the river, and in counties to the sonth the apple and cherry trees are budding. The present outlook is that peaches will be a short crop, but other fruits will be plentiful. Agricultural operations, etc. Spring seediug is being finished. Sheep shear ing will begin within the next ten days The grass is growing very rapidly, af fording good grazing. Vegetables are becoming very plentiful and gardening is generally being rapidly pushed. The weather for the week has been all that could be desired and all growing vegeta tion shows the favorable change. The season continues about two weeks later than usual. Wasco County The Dalles Crops af fected very favorably by the weather dur ing the past week; fruit trees hang full of blossoms; much sunshine and light wind every day. Boyd Grain crops in good condition; last winter's snow is not all gone yet in the heads of prairie hollows; fruit trees not in bloom; many trees are in a dying condition from droutjh of last year and hard freezing. Grass Valley During the past week the weather during the day has been warm, averaging 04 degrees; heavv frosts daring the night; grain is stooling nice ly; prospeots for a good crop fine. Moukland All crops looking well, but backward; boxelder is leafing out; apple trees are budding ; gooseberries and rasp berries are all Jeafed out ; the tempera ture 58 degrees ; more warm weather is needed. Hosier Crops in general are growing finely, better than average; a little rain with warm nights would act favorably on both fruit and grain. Moukland, April 19 A good warm shower, which did a great deal of good ; 20th, warm; 21st, cold and with high wind in the west; 22nd and 23d. the same; 21th, warm and pleasant; good growing weather, which is needed. Sherman County Erskineville On the 18th there was rain-; the balance of the week was pleasant with sunshine ; cherry trees are budding: grass and grain growing well. Gilliam County Fossil Growing crops very favorably affected by the weather. There have been some cloudy days, but the sun has shown almost daily. It rained a little on the 16th and 17th. Morrow County Hardman Seeding is about through; the roads are good; teaming has commenced; pocket gophers have been destructive to fruit and timber culture trees. Mean temperature, 43 de grees. All crops in good condition. Heppner The past week has been really our first good spring week; leaves have opened out quite generally. The rainfall has been very deficient, but the ground being moist has not hindered vegetation. Grain and grasses are doing well; sowing and planting goes on nicely. We had three clear, three fair and one cloudy day : on one occasion the ther mometer fell to 31 degrees ; on the 22nd 23d and 21th we had white frost; maxi mum temperature, 71 degrees, minimum 31 degrees. The week has been fine for lambing. Eight Mile The past week has been spring-like, in reality the first spring weather we have had, and a marked im-1 provement io all vegetatiou ia the ooeWr quence, apple trees opening their leaves, flowers in bloom and everything is lovely. Alpine Growing orops looking well. The first two days of this week were clear, the last five have been cloudy; the last three days have been warmer, like spring, with no frost; solar halos on 15th from 2 p. m. to 4 p. m. Umatilla County, Weston Late spring sown grain is coining up slowly and thinly. A good shower is very much needed. Fall grain growing finely and rapidly, 17th, highest temperature, 73 de grees, Monday, lowest, 31. degrees. Helix Wheat bas made a fine growth during the past week. Gardens are com ing on well. Farmers are getting well along with their plowing. The ground is in good condition as regards moisture. Walla Walla, Wash Spring sown grain needs rain ; much delayed in coming up because of lack of rain. Fall grain beau tiful. Eain for the past week, Temper ature above the average. Baker County, Baker City Rainfall, 0.01 of an inch, which is about the aver age. Temperature and sunshine abont average-fAll crops favorably affected by the weather; trees lefiing; hills green. Season from two to four weeks late. Grant County, Prairie City The past week has been very cold. On the nights of the 10th and 11th the thermometer in dicated 12 degrees of freezing, with high ! cold wind from the northwest.

The thermometer has ranged from 40 to 60 degrees. The shade and fruit trees are very backward. Gooseberry bushes are beginning to put out tbeir blossoms. Honey bees are flying around quite plentifully. PRICES COMPARED, 18801890. In these days, when farmers are told that they are oppressed by an extortionate tariff which destroyed the markets for, and cheapens theii products, and increases the cost of what they buy, it is refresh ing to refer to facts and Bee if such assertions are so. This is best shown by comparing the pric es paid for the same or correspond ing articles at former periods with those, at which they can be pur chased at the present time. The result of such investigation will be a surprise to those who have plac ed their faith in assertions of political hacks who are making false statements to purposely de ceive their readers. Purposely and knowingly are the proper words to be applied to such writ ers, because one cannot believe they are ignorant of the facts which are part of the commercial history of the country, a knowl edge of which should be possesed by a writer before he attempts to instruct his readers. The Times-Mountaineer says: The Fort Dodge (Iowa) Mes senger has done good work iu pub lishing hgures which show what things which farmers buy cost in 1880 aud what they cost in 1890, and also what things which farmers sell brought in 1880 and what they bring in 1890. The Messenger has not figured on .Liverpool or New York prices, but on the prices paid and asked in the town of Fort Dodge, which is in the heart of an agricultural community. Dur ing the campaign of 1888 another Iowa paper contrasted the prices asked for farm implements in the little town of Anamosa and by the great manufacturers of England, and proved, no free-trader having dared to offer figures in opposition, that the the prices of farm imple. ments in Iowa were far below English rates. The self-binding reaper which sold for S315 in 1880 is sold for $130 in 1890. The seeder which cost $35 in 1880 is worth but $13 in 1890. Pumps which were worth $15 in 1880 sell at $6 in 1890. Like reductions are notice able m nearly all tbings used in agricultural work. Barb wire which cost 10 cents per pound in 1880 sells for 4 cents to-day. Win dow glass, of the duty on which free-traders complain so fiercely, is cheaper by 25 per cent, than it was 25 years ago. Coal is half its old price. The "tin cup," on the doty of which dismallists complain, is now worth 5 cents, against 10 cents in 1880. Chains which used to sell for 22 cents per pound now sell for 12, and even zinc, about "the trust" on which we hear so much, sells at 10 cents per pound. against Id cents in 1880. Coining to matters which inter est city folks as well as country folks, the Messenger finds that the same grade of sugar which the Jbort Dodge merchant sold for lzj cents per pound in 1880 is now offered at 7 cents; that which sold at 10 now costs a fraction more than 6. Kerosene oil was worth 25 cents a gallon in 1880, and is worth 13 in 1890. Salt sold for $2.25 per barrel then and sells- for $1.25 now. Flour was worth $4.50 per hundred pounds then and is worth $2.50 now. Oddly enough, and we ask free traders to consider the oddity, the only two groceries in the price of which no change is observable are coffee and tea, both of which ar on the free list The artife8 affected by "the robber tana nnitrerHn.ll v have cheapened, the two thino-H nnaffected by tana have not cheapened. The. parrots which prate "tariff is a robbery" should pause a moment and con sider this peculiarity of ''robbery" which makes the things of which the public is "robbed" cheaper and more plentiful than the things of which they are not "robbed."

Now, John Nutting, a brother, has disappeared and fears exist that he may have met with foul play. Capt, John Cook died at The Dalles, April 28. He was born in 1812. He came to California in 1849 and in 1864 came to The Dalles and engaged in steamboat- ing between that city and the up per Cascades, from which he retir ed a few years since. The coroner's jury eiupanneled verdict that his death was caused by accidental suffocation, produced by a peculiar position of the body wniie under tne lnnnence of au opiate. On April 28, a number of union fishermen started from Astoria in h sail boat, for the purpose of compelling the non-union fisher men to stop nshing. Sailing up the Columbia, they ordered men to draw their nets with threats.
