Word was received yesterday In Salem
says. Tuesday a statesman, that hops
grown on the Dove place near Indepen-

gold medal at the Paris Exposition.
The Oregon hops were placed in compe
tition with every hop-growing country
in the world and it is a source of much
pride to Oregon growers that the hops
grown here are the best the world pro
duces, according to the most competent
judges. This will make Oregon hops
sought for from every quarter of the
world more than they are at the present
time, and insures for the product of the
state the top price in the markets of the
world.

Riley Cooper was somewhat surprised
and much pleased last Tuesday by the
receipt from th V. 8. iVpartmenl of
Agriculture at Washington of a hiinchJ
of '.'ft rollings ol Bavarian hop. As the
cuttings acre not asked for, Riley la
lieveslhnl he "has a friend at court"
who recommended hhn as one capable
of giving this variety of hops a fair and
thorough tt!t.
A descriptlcrtof the hop is as follows;
The cuttings came from Bavaria, Spall,
Uerinanvl and were received through
Mr. !.. Falrchild, Nov. 1.
"Cuttings or "faoheer" id tho finest

one hi'l, being placed upright In the
around some three inches apart and
coveted about 1 12 o 2 Inches ith roll.
The hills are from three to four feet
apart each wnv, The soil, which is the
aiost iniM)rtant Item of any iu bop cult
ure, must h a sandy loam, in rnait in
la a diint-iated red sandstone similar
to the soil In the Bohemia hop region
of Sana. Only in the small region
about the little village of Spalldo these
famous hops develop their fine aroma
and valuable lupuliii contents. Before
planting, lint soil shouldd lie caiefully
worked to a depth ol to three feit
and the culture should bo scrupulously
clean during the season. This is not a
heavy bearer, one pound per pole being
the maximum, Its value lies in Its su
perior quality ol aroma. The l'sl grade
of hop (ruin which thesu cuttings are
takon brings this year on the Spall
market over 30 cents per pound. Great
care should he tuku that no mule hops
are grown near these Spitlt hops as their
presence induces' heavy seed produc
tion and an immediate lowering of the
quality of the yield. Harvesting, sul
phuring, etc, as usual."

The Newberg dairymen association
deserves credit for the self-sacrificing
perseverance its members show In en
deavoring to place the dairy interests of
the community before the farmers of
this neighborhood. They are now ar
ranging to have public meetings held at
outlaying points with the intention of
getting the fanners inlereHted in thu in
dustry. It is certainly a very good sign
that those who are now patronizing the
creamery have an abiding 'faith in its
future, and they are certainly to be com
mended for their perservering efforts
toward persuading others to act for their
own interests, as well as (or those of thu
community. Newberg Graphic.

It does not matter whero ho Btands,
whether behind tlio counter, or in

courage to back up his thoughts,
and the intelligence to express
them he is worth a thousand
times more than the truculent
boot-lick, the go-between; the tale
bearer oT tho hypocrite who is all
things to all men. The day for
honest opinion is today and tomor
row. George Elliott and Hubert Manning
were in jail the first of the week on
charges of stealing overcoats from Lay
ton Smith's and the hotel. Elliott was
also charged with having collected
money for the Portland Art company
and not paying same to the company.
The pritfoncra had a preliminary hear
ing before Justice Irvine on Monday.
The justice found the young men guilty
and sentenced each one to pay a fine of
$35 or in default, spend 17J days In the
county jail. Not being able to pay tho
fine they were escorted over to Dallas
and wjll visit with Sheriff VanOrbdol
the alolted time. In regard to the chur-
ge against Elliott of obtaining money
under false pretenses, the charge was
dismissed, on motion of the prosecuting
attorney, as the case can bo taken up at
Dallas on release of tho accused from
serving his sentence.
