Beattie, Feb. 2.— A* a result of the Jofnt meeting of the legislative committee« from Oregon and Wash- Ington, regarding «alumn Ashing In the Columbia river, an effort 1« to be made to have the agreement In the form of a treaty ratified by the United State« senate and extend*-1 to six or eight year«, n o that quat- reU and hostile legislation from either state over the boundary righ’ a cannot in future upset the peaceful relations which have now been e.i- tabllithed for the first time In the history of the two states. The Joint commission, by unani mous vote, agreed to recommend the passage of a law by both legislatur<s providing for a spring closed season from March 1, at 12 o’clock noon, to May 1, at 12 o’clock noon. The fall closed «eason was left undl ;- turbed, namely, from August 25 to September 10. Han Francisco, Feb. 1.— To secure relief for the hop Industry o f the Pa cific Coast from foreign competition, B. C. Horst, o f San Francisco, and Herman Klaber, o f Portland, Or., will make another plea to the ways and means committee of Congret*» for an Increase In the duty on the 1 foreign product. Foreign hops at present pay 12 cents a pound duty, and an Increase to 24 cents Is •ought. The plight of the hopgrowers Is pictured aa desperate. The produc tion In this country ha» fallen off in the last three years nearly 50 per cent, while the importations have nearly trebled. For the last three years, It Is said, the American grow er haa not received for hla hops the cost of their production; and In Cal ifornia, Oregon and Washington hop fields are everywhere being aban doned and thousands of acres of hops plowed up.
