Of the $750 levied for the first year, $500 has been loaned at 5 per cent, and $250 at G per cent. As the city is obliged to pay less than 4 per ceut on the water bonds, it will be seen that the interest received will ex ceed the interest paid out, long before the bonds fall due, if the sinking fund is properly handled. The hop harvest is well under way in the Polk county yards, and rapid progress is being made in the work. Pickers are plentiful, but the price paid for pickiog holds steady at 50 cents a box. As the picki Dg progresses, growers are beginning to realize ,hat the crop is far short of the usual average, estimates of the shortage varying from 10 to 35 per cent. The quality of the hops is better than for many years past, the berries being rich and firm. No sales have been re ported this week, and it is evident that the growers will not consider aoy offers until the crop is in the bale. Hon. H. V. Gates arrived in Dallas, Wednesday, from a several weeks stay in Klamath Falls, where he has been superintending necessary repairs and extensions to his light and water plants.
