THE HOP YIELD.
Washington. 50,000 Bales; California,
60,000 Bales, and Oregon,
70,000 Bale.
Speaking of the hop situation, Cap
tain George Pope, of Portland, Bays:
"The situation of Oregon's hop crop
this year is a peculiar one. Four
weeks ago the most conservative grower
. or dealer had made up his mind that
nearly 100,000 bales would be pro
Uuced in this state. The hops were
on the vines, and no doubt the quality
would have been excellent but for the
heavy rains in August, which imparted
new life to vines, and fresh strobiles
began to set on laterals that could not
have . come to maturity at so late a
date. In addition to this, the core of
the burr grew continuously under con
ditions produced by the August rains
and the warm weather of this month,
so that growers were confronted by a
problem that puzzled them. Kilns
which in former years could be dried
in 18 hours could not this year be
taken off in less than 24 to 26 hours,
and in some cases even 80 hours were
required to take off a flooring of moder
ate size. This threw the drying ma-
chinery out of shape. The hops, owing
to the cool weather of August were
backward. Picking of them did not
become general until about September
10, so that all large yards have suf'
fered considerably. Entire yards have
been abandoned on account of the rapid
, spread of mold, with the result that
the crop has been out down to about
70,000 bales. The quality of these 70,
000 bales will range about 10,000
bales choice, 80,000 to 40,000 medium,
and the remainder indifferent.
"From what is known of other states,
- California has the best quality, and
60,000 bales is said to be the yield in
that state. Washington's quality is
' said to be the same as ours, but as that
state is seven or eight days later in
maturing the crop west of the . Cas-
cades, it is doubtful if it will harvest
the quota accredited to her 50,000
bales. New York has one-third less
this year than last, and the crop is
said to have" come down in very poor
shape. English advices are conflicting.
. The yield In England is said to be the
heaviest in many years. One writer
who is an authority, while very con'
servative, gives the yield as 1,100
pounds per acre. England this year
has 50,000 acres of hops. Such
yield, therefore, if it is all gathered,
will be nearly equal to British con
sumption. Germany's crop is also
- above the average, but it is doubtful if
she has many hops to throw on the ex-
port market. The market value of
English hops today ranges from 2 15s
to 4 10s per 112 pounds, but it is said
that even these prices will not be
maintained after the surplus of the
United States seeks an outlet. As to
this, however, there is no assurance.
"The points in favor of the grower
are these: First, the old stocks have
, all been worked off, and the crop of the
world goes to a practically bare market;
second, times all the world over are
better, confidence has been restored,
labor is everywhere , fully employed,
. and hence the consumption of beer is
on the increase." -
Seattle Starch Factory. '
At the meeting of the Seattle cham
ber of commerce at Seattle last week
that committee reported in favor of aid
ing in raising $25,000 for the establish'
ment of a starch factory there. The
- proposed factory is to be built under
the supervision of Mr. Hundhausen, oi
Westfalen, Germany whose family
owns a secret process ot making starch
that has been in use for 80 years. The
' process saves all the gluten from the
flour, while the process now in use on
the coast, saves little or none of the
gluten.' The estimated cost of build'
ing and running the factory is $27,924
It is estimated that a factory at that
point could sell in round numbers one'
eighth of all the starch used on the
coast, or per annum 600,000 pounds,
This is an average of one ton per day
and would require 1. S3 tons of flour
per day. - :
To Have a Regular Steamship Line,
' The Alaska Packers Association is
making preparations to establish a regu
lar steamship line running between
San Franoisco and Bristol bay next
summer. The company has several
canneries located on Bristol bay which
' are operated during the summer, but
. there has been no mail or passenger
service from that place. The men en-
gaged in fishing there are shutout from
the world while the season lasts. The
association has recently let a contract
with a Portland firm for the building
of a steamer when will oost $200,000,
Atlln Needs More Courts.
A petition is being circulated in At'
lin asking for the appointment of a
county court judge for that district.
' The need of such a court is imperative.
Already there are 28 cases on the cal
endar. This, in most instances, will
work great hardship. In one case an
old gentleman sued for 60 days' wages
at $4 per day, in all $240. The
amount being over $100 the matter
could not be settled in the small debts
courts, and so the case pends.
. Six carloads of fancy liquors, weigh
ing 60 tons, going to Dawson under
special permits issued by Canadian
government officials, went through
Skagway recently in care of a convoy
of the United States customs inspector.
Dryers In Operation.
A few days of warm weather have
ripened the prunes at Koseburg so rap
idly that the packers were forced to
quit packing. L. Chapman sent one
car to Montana and T. N. Segar, of
Eugene, three ears to the Eastern
states. Mr. Eiddle and Mr. Wonaoott
have started thoir dryers and all the
other dryers of the valley will start up
within a few days.

Oregon's Medicine Industry.
Dr. J. A. Lamberson has during the
past few months bought for shipment
near Lebanon, 840 tons of cascara bark,
for which he has paid $60 a ton, or a
total of $24,000. . He has also bought
B0 tons of Oregon grape root, paying
therefor $1,200. The doctor is also
Investigating the market for fir balsam,
having bought 66 barrels of that article
paying $1,250 per barrel. Dr. Lam
' berson, who . resides at Starbuck,
Wash., states that he is now convinced
that the oollection of medicine barks,

GENERAL TRADE IS GOOD.
Reaction in the Stock Market Has But
Little Effect.
E. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: . The reaction in the stock
market is not a sign of anything outside
that market, but has caused many to
look for signs of a reaction elsewhere.
Such signs have been hard to find. - It
has been for months a wonder that the
demand for products was sustained at
rates exceeding past consumption in
any year, notwithstanding the general
rises in prices. But the demand does
not appear to abate, and the rise in
prices continues.
Wheat exports fall a little - below
last year's, but in three weeks, flour
included, have been 8,865,877 bushels
for Atlantio ports, against 9,293,831
bushels last year, and 1,021,998 bush
els from Pacifio ports, against 907,961
bushels last year. But Western re'
ceipts have been 21,759,852 bushels,
against 23,099,897 bushels last year,
and even more impressive are the re
ceipts of 18,515,932 bushels of corn,
against 11,177,483 bushels last year,
and the exports of 9,201,427 bushelB,
against 5,943,966 last year.
Further government reports have
been so credited abroad that cotton has
risen ' to 6.62 cents, but it comes for
ward more freely than in years of max
imam crops.
When men pay $3 to $5 per ton more
than the latest quoted price for iron
products in order to get early deliver
lea, it is because delay is threatened on
works or railroads or bridges, vessels
or machinery, promising a profit many
times the cost of a small fraction of the
material. In such circumstances as
in much of the reconstruction and ex
pansion now going on, present cost
counts for little compared with the
earning power of the finished product
in a time like this.

SUSPENDERS ABOLISHED.
A. Bhlrt of New Pattern Which Doe
Away with Suspenders.
A Bhlrt recently patented In Eng
land and placed on the market
there dispenses entirely with the
use of suspenders. The burden of
the braces Is taken off the shoulders
entirely by the shirt. As will be seen
by the dotted lines In the Illustrations,
the yoke Is extended both back and
front, and to It are fixed three tabs,
SHIBT WHICH DISPLACES 8U8PKNIKBS,
which are easily attached or detached
by loops or suspenders to the trousers.
This relieves the downward pressure
of - trouser braces on the shoulders,
which has a natural tendency to con
tract the chest. This shirt, it Is claim
ed, is the most comfortable garment a
man can wear, Inasmuch as the weight

dress shirts, as it not only allows one
to sit upright at table, but always
keeps the front of the shirt In position,
and prevents it from bulging out of
the waistcoat Two figures of the new
design are shown, back and front. By
these it is said that while the new
shirt has an equal pressure all around,
the ordinary braces pull heavily on the
neck portion of the shoulders.
Wives of the Waltz Kins.
Johann Strauss, the waltz king, was
scarcely laid away to rest In the -Fried-
hof when a Series of disputes arose
over his possessions. Strauss secured
to his wife and stepdaughter, as well
as his sisters, moderate incomes for
life, and then made the Society of
Friends of Music his heir-at-law. He
disinherited his brother, the ' well
known Eduard Strauss, and made no
provision for the destitute widow of his
brother Joseph. The chief effort to dis
pute the legality of Strauss' will is to
be made by his second wife, from whom
he claimed that he was divorced.
When Strauss contracted his second
marriage both he and his wife were
Roman Catholics, and were united In a
Catholic church and with the rites of
that religion. The Austrian marriage
laws are exceptionally severe, and mar
ried Catholics can In this country se
cure a legal separation from one anoth
er, but never an absolute divorce which
enables them to marry again. The re
sult Is that Roman Catholics who have
secured a separation resort to all sorts
of evasions of the law In order to mar
ry again. Johann Strauss receded from
Roman Catholicism and became a Prot
estant, then emigrated to the Duchy of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, resided there for a
period, obtained an absolute divorce
from his wife and married a third time.
This evasion of the Austrian mar
riage laws deprived Strauss of the court
favor which he had enjoyed, and it
seems certain that in the strict legal
sense his second wife Is his rightful
widow, whereas his third wife, for
whom he has provided, had no authen
tic claim on him. The Austrian laws oi
succession provide that a wife can nev
er be disinherited, but has always a
claim on at least one-third of the prop
erty left by her husband, so that the
second wife of the great musician has
every prospect of obtaining this share
of his wealth. At present she is In
poor circumstances, and earns her liv
ing In a photographic studio In Berlin.
Walls Plastered with Coinr.
Miss Daisy Dentz, of Dentzville,
N. J., a suburb of Trenton, has prob
ably the largest collection of coins In
New Jersey. Some of them are many
hundred years old, and they represent
the currencies of nearly every country
hi the world. Some Idea of the size of
the collection may be gathered from
the fact that the celling of Miss
Dentz's boudoir is completely covered
with United States money, while the
four walls are hidden behind the coins,
of Asiatic, European, African and
South American countries. There is
considerable : history attached to this
collection, especially to the English
coins, which were found near Prince
ton in a queer shaped hat by one of
Miss Dentz's relatives while In search
of minerals. The hat is similar in shape
to those worn by the Hessian soldiers
during the revolution and Is still In
Miss Detnz's possession. There are
many valuable coins In her collection,
and were she to convert them all Into
present American currency they would
yield quite a snug sum. Philadelphia

The Wind Made Snowballs.
Last March there was a remarkable
exhibition af Grafton, N. H., of the
comparatively rare phenomenon of
"snow rollers." Freshly fallen snow
was rolled by the wind into Innumer
able cylinders, some of them as large
as a barrel, which dotted the bills and
fields. Similar rollers have been seen
in recent years In Connecticut, in Kan
sas and in the State of Washington.
The size varies with the strength of
the wind.

Meons, east and west, lying among the
Hampshire Downes. Old Winchester

tell of some old British city there
abouts, the forerunner of the : more

pened there since. Sturdy Cobbett
passed that way in his "Rural Bides,"
and marveled at the huge church of
East Meon in its mighty solitude.
Built to hold thousands, and now, in
Cobbett's time, a few shepherds and
graziers, sparsely scatteretd, form the
whole population of the parish. And
still the process of depopulation goes
on, as census tables tell.- But the
Meons are to have a railway at
last, and we read that the Meon valley
railway from Alton to Fareham, a dis

. - Dewey Celebration. .
Americans are quick to appreciate merit.
The Dewey celebrations prove that, and it
is again forcibly demonstrated in the praise
and conideuce which is accorded Hostet
ter's 8totach Bitters, one of the most mer
itorious remedies ever compounded for in
digestion, constipation, dyspepsia, bilious
ness, liver or kidney disease or any trouble
arising from a weak stomach. . -
. Fooling the Public
"I'm about bushed in the matter of
curiosities," mused the owner of a
small store. ; "It's a bad habit this
idea of .drawing ' trade by making a
museum of the window, but I can't
stop now business won't allow it." .-'
A few hours later the soda water
trade was rushing. The crowd outside
the window gazed until it was thirsty
at the remarkable bird that hung in a
big cage. The card - attached bore a
handful of the alphabet hysterically
put together and designed for a scien
tific name. After it were the words:
"From Samoa."
A few days - later the "curiosity"
was feeding in the back yard with the
rest of the bantam hens. Detroit Free

Joseph Jefferson, some 10 years ago,
spent a week with a Scotch peer.
Among the guests was a haughty and
brilliant lady who made a dead set at
quizzing him. He did not detect it at
first and answered some of her absurd
questions about America quite inno
cently. At last he saw her purpose
and decided to get even.' His oppor
tunity came when, emboldened by her
success, she said: "By the by, have
you met the queen lately?" "No,
Madam," Jefferson replied with per
fect seriousness, "I was out when her
majesty called upon me." - She colored
slightly and then turned away and
never spoke to him again. Detroit

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system., It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or , irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are. pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fie Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations,, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on uie iront oi every pacKage. .

A Fable In Stocks,
Once ; upon a time an operator in
stocks was sold short, and ruin stared
him in the face unless the market
should break. In his desperation he
j remembered having heard that honesty
I is the best policy. ' He tried to dis
miss the foolish thought, but .in vain.
Finally, like the drowning man catch-
inz honest. The verv next dav he mit
his design into execution, and he
hadn't been honest more than 15 min
utes when 17 of the leading bulls fell
dead, they were so surprised, at him.
Hereupon the market naturally broke,
and the operator could get all the stocks
he wanted at his own figure. It is
claimed that some, if not all, of these
bulls had taken radishes and ham for
breakfast, but that, it is submitted,
does not destroy the moral of this fable.
