Some crops were suvctl i'roiu total

to the weekly crop and weather re
port issued Juno 20 by tho local
weather bureau.
Cnusuallv bijh temperatures and
continued absence of rain were I be
predomination features of the lore
part of the week, suys the report, but
durinjr tho closing days showers
were quite, general in" central ;:nd
northeastern Oregon, which in a
mcasurt! relieved the prevailing
drought and saved sonic crops from
total loss, although rains came too
late to insure for many even nn av

counties little or no rail fell am!,
while the weather was favorable for
haying and berry picking, rain was
badly needed for other crops to suvo

considerable extent by grasspoppcrs
in Klamath county.
The condition of winter wheat, ac
cording to the summary was gener
ally unsatisfactory. The hot weather
has caused many fields to detoriatc
and some already have been cut for
hay. The recent ruins east of the
Cascade mountains will undoubtedly
prove beneficial to this crop, but
wcro not early enough to fulfill ex
pectations of the lore part of the
season. inter rye was poor to
good, but as a rule will be only fair.
The harvest of winter wheat will
probably begin in southern counties
shortly after July 1 and in tho more
northerly districts about the loth,
whilo the rye harvest will bo from a
week to ten days later. Spring grains
seemed to be developing too rapidly
on account of the drought and ab
normally high temperatures and were
suffering for ruin in all parts of the
state. The straw was short consid

yields nrc generally indicated for
barley, oats and spring wheat. The
harvest of the first named crop will
begin about the firts oart of July.
- Haying was progressing under
ideal weather conditions. Only lig'it
crops of alfalfa and clover worn be

FOREIGN SECRETARY
PARIS, Puue 2 8. Dr. von Kuehl
mann offered his resignation as Ger
man foreign secretary on Wednesday,
Bays a Zurich dispatch to tho Journal.
The dispatch adds that It is believed
the emperor will accopfMlio resignation.
LONDON', June 2S. Tbo West
minster Gazette says:
"The notion that Dr. von Kuelil
mann Is a clumsy speaker who has
blundered Into Buying things he did
not mean, or not authorized jy his
superior, may he dismissed. No for
eign secretary in Germany would
dream of making a statement about
military operations without submit
ting It to the higher command. If
voa Kucklmann epoko a3 ho did, It
was because tho military authorities
dosired him so to speak, and 'because
they thought It nocossary to brouk
tho news that a speedy vleftory is not
now within their grasp. The chan
cellor's explanations, and, still more,
the circulation of Ilcrr Nnumann's
speech, which followed von Kuehl
mann's, . confirm - this explanation.
The German people have In mind the
kaiser's speeches, loud (boastings and
confident promises which followed
the first stages of the western offen

"To be told suddenly. -the truth and
face the fact that the war may he
greatly prolonged and that tho great
general staff does not see Its way to
victory, is a stupendous shock arter
tho hopes that have been encouraged."
