HARVEST viLL BE ABUNDANT The Recent Liberal Showers Have Benefitted All the Growing Crops CLOVER HAY WAS DAMAGED BT MOlSTUREHAT HARVEST JUST BEGINNING THE TIELD OP ALL KINDS OF CEREALS "GREATER THAN LAST YEAR. , ... . (From Saturday Daily.) The season has come when city peo ple .and all who are at leisure, are co las to the different summer resorts along the coast, but the' producers, those who till the fertile soil of the Wlllamettevalley, are Just preparinlg for a summer of hard work." They wfll not be able to spend the beautiful sum mer days of the next two months In Idleness, wandering; alone; " the cool beach in search of pleasure.1 , The harvest season Isfaat approach ing and in "fact, hay harvest has al ready begun- 1 But thereiwill be no' mummurlng over , the ; prospect. .The farmers are looking forward to the time when the result of their 'year's' la bors will be converted into gold dol lars .and a good iy pile of them will be the reward of most ot the thrifty hus bandmen. , .'Never before In the history of the valley have the prospects been better for a large crop of all kinds of cereals in alt parts of the valley. ".. - j J. G. Graham, local representative of the firm of Half our. Guthrie & Co., who have warehouses at Pratum. Macleay and bhaw reports that in those sections the prospects are excellent for large crop of grain. The yield of wheat. Judging by present appearances, will be a record breaker, and spring oats are growing splendidly. In that sec tion fall pats will not be as heavy as was expected. but the yield will "be good. There is a much larger, acreage than formerly In those sections of the country, erpecTaTly In the Waldo Hills, and Mr. Graham expects the greater l-ortlon of the business a'C'the Pratum point this summer-to be on oats. AVm. P. Babcock, manager of the Sa lem Flouring ' Co., recently drove to Btayton. and his report of the condi tions along the. road were very gratify ing. Illooks for a large crop of wheat of a splendid quality. , Before the Jast abundant rains,.' the crop prospects were splendid, but since they hav? been very much Improved. Jn fact, the rains were the: making of the crops, and about the only disgrunt le farmers were those who had clover liay in the shock. This was badly damaed. but It seems to be the fate of the Hover crop To be always fn the shock during the earjy June rains. At least. It always rains-when clover hay Is lu the jhmjk. No other, variety of bay wan teady for the cycle at that ..time, and now It looks s though' the rains were about over and hay harvest will be passed without any more dam aging showers. There is a great, deal more hay ralseitln the valley than'for. 11,-iijr. aim in is is, one or me most im portant crops. x , It was thought last fall thkt the acreage vf wheat mould be small,, but the high price of that cereafdurlng the winter stimulated the farmers to sow a large acreage of spring grain. This was helped by the- extraordinary dry, favorable weather 'in the early spring, so that the shortage of fall grain Is more than made up by the In crease of spring grain. Hundreds -of acres of land Intended for summer fal low will thus profluce goodly crops of the golden cereal. Fall wheat and oats are heading very' fast, and early barley Is already turn ing yellow, and will soon be ready for the reaper. Cherry harvest Is' now In full blast, and at the cannery teams sometimes stand for hours waiting their turn to unload. . s - , . Yesterday the first Installment of Royal Anne cherries was brought in by J. R. Khepard. of Zena. and several others, but these cherries will hardly be marketable before next week. The cherry growers are almost holding their breath for fear of rains which are threatening, and would 'almost ruin the crop of late cherries, causing them to crack open. " I ' Yesteday H. E. Hall, of Frultland. brought a branch of late Duke cherries to the Statesman office for exhibition. It w so thickly loaded with these de licious cherries that it would hardly have been possible to hold more In the a me place. Mr t WAanol an extraordinary .-....,. .. ri. with the weight, and .he thought fcC pull bring it aiofij. He Btaa It -was tLL anip,e the way his' cherry uvea were loaded this season. He also h" one and a half acres of strawber ries, and wsS q Wen tisfled with the out "th-i tontn,pUtes putting out three acres more next falU Thomas Jennings, of the Polk county EIJ" fn.tbe clt3r ypterday and re Ported that In his neighborhood grain was simply Immense and he seemed ell satisfied that he had several hun dred acres of Wheat ..4 .11 ready for the reaper. J. B. Ferschweller, of SL Louis, In Marion county, was a. Salem visitor esterday. ue Ja OM of tnMM. t1n .2lp TOWr wh Is still holding r. s 1903 crop of hopm and Judarlnc. by nta confident manner frtalkingrTie does not feel In the least worried as to the outcome of the venture. He feels considerably gratified over the condi tion of his growing' hop vines. He has ten acres of hops and four acres of them are, says he. the finest he has seen this" year. They would not be considered even fair on other seasons, but as compared with the yards of his neighbors they are first class. The otner six aei$s are In a.Very unpromis ing condition., corresponding to the general reports of the valley. Mr. Ferschweller said that, while riding to Salem yesterday, he noted carefully the general condition of the yards he Pass ed, and did JfcJt see one single yard w'.Cn would yield - anything like an average crop, while on the other hand, he saw several which will not pay the ctfct of cultivating: the yards. ;: Mr. Ferschweller reports that his fail grain, of which he has about fifty acrta,' is also very poor and he Is at ft loss to understand the 'cause of ; the shortage. He has about twenty acres of f all oats .which are especially; poor and will hardly pay for the raising. They are grown on summer fallowed land. too. ; His spring grain, however, is looking better ana ho noticed along the road that most of the waving fields of growing grain are looking very fine, TWENTY-FIVE LADIES NOW : I i That Is the Number in states man's Christmas Piano I, Contest THE TWO HIGHEST HAVE EIGHT HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE VOTES EACH THERE IS A CHANCE FOR WORKERS TO . RECEIVE THE BEAUTIFUL GIFT. 1 (From Saturday's Daily.) There are now twenty-five fair can didates In the race for the beautiful $423 Cable piano to be given away on Christmas morning by the Statesman. The count that was. made last evening showed eight new candidates, one of whom has received as many rotes as the highest. The two highest. Miss jtieien Mccoy and Miss Nina Bushnell, how have; 825 votes each to their credit. There should be lively voting today,, and there; will be a count made for to morrow's ' paper, unless the - Carnival matter and advertisement crowd it out. .. 1 v ' It is the firm belief of the writer that if any one of the young ladies of the twenty-five, or some friend of hers; will take up the matter and push It vigor ously to the end of the contest, the pi ano will be hers.: But It will take con stant and vigorous work, for prepara tions are' being made by several of the friends of candidates already named, or the candidates themselves, to go after that piano and ' stay after it until 6 o'clock' on the 24th day of December, when the polls will be closed and the winner known. ; o . j . : What the Statesman wants out of the contest is new subscribers. That was the inducement. The Statesman also wants al deserving person to get the piano," of course. But this office can have no control over the matter. , It can have no favorites. The conditions are'Iald down. The one whose friends follow the conditions and "put in the most votes will receive the handsome Christmas present. There Was a ballot cast for an insti tution. It was not counted. This con test is between persons man, woman or child.! Of course, it will naturally be a contest between young ladies. But you can vote for any person, not for any institution. If there are others who want to gO - work, receipt books and particulars are here at the business , office. The thing to T)o Is to get to work early, and to stay at It persistently, to the end of the contest. The following is the way it stands now: . t Miss Helen McCoy. ........... ... 825 Miss Nina Bushnell 825 Miss Mum Oeer. 525 Miss Mabel Carter . ............... 509 Miss Mabel Jones.

" In order to make some necesary repairs In the Salem ditch, and also at Stayton. The Wal ler dam on" Twenty-first street has been leaking, and will be rebuilt In or der to keep a better supply of water In the South Salem ditch. South of the Thos.

Out of courtesy, however, to the Sa lem Light, Power A Traction Co. Mr. Babcock has consented to delay the repairs for one week, or until after the Carnival. -'.4 f,;:t: - The Electric Light i works are crip pled by reason of one of the engines being disabled some ti ma ago. The plant Is now being run oh one engine. assisted by the condenser. ; The con denser pipes are run Into the race, and when the water Is turned out tne con denser will be useless, and extra pow er will be necessary, as the Carnival will necessitate 1000 extra Incandescent lights, besides a number of extra arc lights.

THE KAY BILL . TO BE TESTED Is the Repeal of a Negative Statute a Grant of Power , ATTORNEY GENERAL CRAWFORD MOVES COURT TO DISCHARGE SECRETARY OF STATE AS GAR NISHEE IN SUIT IS NOT AMEN 'ABLE TO GARNISHMENT. , . : Whether the. Secretary of State or any. other public official shall be amen able to garnishment for money in his possession as such public officer, be longing to, as claimed by, any judg ment debtor, is to be determined dur ing the coming - session of the July term of the state circuit court. During the last legislature. Repre sentative Thomas B. Kay : Introduced a bill, the effect of which, should it be come a law, was to make the wages of all . employes of the state subject to attachment and the Secretary of State to garnishment as the custodian of such money as Was due the em ploye. This bill, . however,, was de feated, but during the last few days Mr. Kay was v successful - in drafting and securing the pasage of & bill (H. B. No. . 34 3). which repealed section 259 of the codes , and statutes of Ore gon., which section provides that 'No state .. or county- treasurer, sheriff, clerk, constable, or other public offi cial, shall be liable to answer as gar nishee for moneys In Jus possession as such public officer, etc. y This ) ex emption ' being removed, all the officers of the state are laid open to garnish ment.' : ' - "V " J , .. The first suit to be Instituted as a result of the effect of this act has been filed In the First Department of the stat circuit court for Marion county, entitled F. J. Strayer, plaintiff, vs. W. Hayden, defendant. The defendant. Hayden, Is employed by the state s guard , at the Penitentiary. . and ' the plaintiff is suing for, judgment for $41, with Interest at 10 per cent from June l,r 1897. and $25 .attorney's fees, A w rit of attachment was served upon Secretary of State Dunbar, as 'gar nishee, arid yesterday, Attorney Gener al b. M. Crawford filed a motion in the court moving that the Secretary of State;" the garnishee in the suk, be discharged and that he j- be not re-r quired to answer to the garnishment served bri' him. ' The question to be decided , is whether the Secretary of State is amenable to garnishment. Attorney General Crawford is of the opinion that the repeal of - a. negative statute is 'not a. grant of power, al though the Legislature intended It to be. .and he thinks he can defeat the object of the measure, because the courts of several states have decided against simirar measures to this for several reasons, the principal one of which being that it is contrary to com mon law and is detrimental to good government. "7n"' Secretary of State Dunbar says that if the law Is allowed to stand that R. will prove a . great4 nuisance for. while Is is granted that every man should pay his Just debts without having to be sued for them, it will ; interfere se riously with the employment of state labor, for a person will not Consent to go to work for the state If he should happen to have a judgment hanging over him for. the collection of a debt, either Just or unjust, and his waes laid open to attachment. ' It-is quite prpbable that the case- will be carried through all of the state courts If It is not satisfactorily decided in the circuit court. ' x NEW CURB FOll DEAPNESS ELECTRICITY.
