Which Quickly Ad vance. Cent. SALE Conditions In the Oregon hoprard. r Improving- ana there la now every Indi cation of a fair crop, thcrasta Th. yield will probably be less than that of last yaar. Tha Improwmeat, however, can beat ba described aa spotted and there la no large section where the situation, aa a whole. earn be called better, unless It be Wash ington County. There, the plant la making err pood progress. The Washington County yards are. Willi one or two ex ceptions, looking about aa well aa last year and taken all toawther Washington bow stands at the top of the hop counties In percent of cxradttkra- Polk County yards In the main are re ported aa fair, especially the Independence bottom landa. bnt aroand Dallas the con ditions are not mo vood. In Tamhlll County the Tinea are tn good shape on the hla-rier landa and also aroand Kewberg. The Gaston and Carlton yards are reported fair, but in the Lafayette and Tyton sections some of the old yards are very poor. In parts of Marlon County the plant shows a good stand, while elsewhere In the county, particularly In the old yards, there will he very few hops. Fewer mlsstna- hills are reported than a week ago. The vine la still backward everywhere, but with favorable weather from now on this fault will be remedied. Where the depreciation in condition of yarda la not due to dead roota It Is at tributed to Insufficient cultivation. It la worth noting that the best-aopearing yards are those of the large gro wexa and the grower-dealera who gtva their properties the most care. The market hae been extremely quiet for the past week. The only business re ported yesterday was the purchase by H. I. Hart of 28 bales from C. Pltchard. cf Independence, around cents, and a number of other small lota, aggregating 120 bales, from growers. The Waterville Times, of May 11, aald of hop crop conditions in New Tork state: There has been attoipsUier too much rain and cool weather of late to look for much progress In the hopyarda. It has been too wet or work In the yards, and the cool, cloudy days have not caused the vine to arow very much. Even In the early yarda the vine la only a few Inchea out of the ground, but growers ane not worrying about this feature of the situation as ther is plenty of time yet for a sufficient growth. . There Is a demand for hops and a firm - tone to the market, but no hops scarcely to meet the needs of buyers. In this vi cinity there are but three lota left and the same scarcity of goods Is common over the etate we understand. That buyers are convinced that there is a favorable outlook for prices next Pall Is shown by the fact that they are offering to contract for 10 hope at 15 cent a A grower, who is also a buyer, said the other day that he had been oftered lg cents for this year's crop. Whether he accepted we did not learn, but we have heard of no business being done on the lS-cent basis. DCTX LOCAL MARKET FOB CRAIX. Offerings Are IJjrht and Demand Not Brian.

PRINCE RUPERT is the terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, and its location has been fixed rrrnanontlT; by an agreement bctvron tho government of I.ritLsh Ojlunibla and the Grand Trunk Paci fic Railway. The government and Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company own jointly abont 24,000 acres of land, one-Jiuartcr belonginj; to the government and threwjuarters to the raC , way company. About 2000 acres havo been subdivided into lots formintr tin? townsite of Prince Rupert where the railway company is already preparing its terminals, has already con structed its railway wharf, and where the governmcjit is now constructing a large and per manent wharf. The fites for the railway station and for the workshops of the railway com pany are shown on the map of the townsite now deposit ed and registered in tho Lsand Regis try Office. The harbor at Prince Rupert is the best on the coast of British Columbia north of Vancouver, .and all talk of removing this terminus to Home other point in the north is pure rubbish. THE TERMINUS OF THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY IS FIXED AT PRINCE RUPERT, AND WHsIs REMAIN THERE FOR ALL TIME TO COME. Those of us who have lived on tlio Tacitic Cout for the past 23 years have been told by our fathers and grandfathers, our mothers and our aunts all kinds of stories of the wonderful opportunities for investment in real estate missed by them at . Ban Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Scuttle, Taeoma and Vancouver, and these stories have for years been drilled into the minds of all tho young men of tho Pacific Coast. A new opportunity equal to .any of the above lias now arisen, and all tho arguments of the croakers and pessimists will not affect the young and ambitious business men of the West. "PRINCE RUPERT AVI LL RE BUILT BY THESE SAME YOUNG MEN, AND THEY ARE GO DCG TO BUY THE LOT.S. . Prim e Ruperl will lm tho chief supply point for Northern British Columbia, South eastern Alaska and the Yukon; it will ! the shipping point for all the wheat from the north ern portion of the Canadian Northwest; it will ho the headquarters for the great fisheries of the North; it will lve the nearest shipping point to China and .Tapan. The surrounding coun try has timber, coal, iron, goM, silver, lead and copper, and some of the largest mines of British Columbia will be tributary to this port. The writer saw San Francisco when it had P0,000 people; Portland 15.000; Seattle 0000; Tacoma 2000; Vancouver 50, and he lias seen them all grow1. Prince Rupert today has equally as good clianees as those cities had when he first saw them, AND HE IS NOT AN OLD MAN BY ANY MEANS. The first sale of lots will commence at Vancouver, B. C, on Tuesday, May 25, 1000, and will continue through the week including Sat unlay. There will be three sessions daily, commencing at 10 A. M., 2 and 8 P. M. This is tho first and only sale of lrince Rupert lots being held at this time. Other sales may be teld later, duo notice of which will be given. About 2100 lots will bo offered, and will le sold to the highest bidder subject to a reserve, price which has leen fixed. This reserve price is private but is so low tliat it is expected every lot offered will bo sold. Such erroneous impressions have leen created by misleading articles through the press that, in order to to correct these false impressions, it may be stated that the reserves on some lots are lelov $100. Various reports have also been circu lated as to building restrictions, and I may also state tluit if any restrictions are imposed they will only bo upon the high priced lots and will not affect five per cent of the total num ber for sale. All regular lots are 2"xl00 and the terms for sale are one-o,uartcr cash and the balance, fn one,' two and three years with interest at sis per cent. Corner lots and the lot adjoining will be sold together, inside lots will be sold singly, but the purchaser will have the right to take the adjoining lot at the hid price providing the said lot is on the list. The lots for tho sale are being selected from sections 1, 5, (, 7 and 8, and represent about 40 per cent of tho total number of lots in these sections, and include loth business and residential sites. All payments must le made in cash, drafts or certified cliceks payable at par in Vancou ver. Intending investors may mako deposits in sums of $100 and upwards at my offico on and after the 20th, iust., thus avoiding the necessity of paying 10 per cent on each lot at the fall of the hammer. , y Maps and catalogues will be distributed at tho sale.
