Market and Crop
Reports.
Clackamas County farmers have oc
casion to foel good these days from
the present Indications of the crops.
All throughout the county the fall
sown grain has on a good growth, and
is looking excellent. During the pres
ent clear spell farmers are busily en
gaged In putting In their spring crops,
although in some places the ground
is still too wet to do any sowing.
In many sections of Clackamas
County the hop growers have plowed
up their hop yards and will plant the
soli to grain and vegetable truck, as
the prices that are now paid for the
hops is not satisfactory. Some of the
last year's crop is now bringing a
price of G 1-4 cents per pound,' while
a few growers received nine cents per
pound, and the price last year was
the lowest that has been paid for
years, and has discouraged the hop
men that they have taken the action
of going into hop raising on a smaller
scale.
The shearing of goats is on through
out the valley, and the shearing will
be finished in nearly all of the sec
tions by the latter part of next week.
The situation in the wool market is
about the same as in mohair, but for
which there is a meager demand. The
prices in wool have declined approxi
mately 60 per cent and it Is impossi
ble to state what the future price is to
be.
Eggs are coming into the city mar
ket more freely, and are bringing a
wholesale price of 15 cents per dozen,
and there will be a big demand in
the egg market Easter week, and the
merchants are prepared to handle the
large shipments, that may come in
Oregon cabbage supply has been ex
hausted and the merchants are now
depending upon the California mar
ket for their supply. Oregon cauli
flower, dried and green onions, spin
ach, radishes; lettuce, rutabagas, beets
and turnips are in, market. ' Rhubarb
is coming into the local market, but
the price is exceptionally high.

to organize a new school district, by
taking portions of the Linn's Mill dis
trict, Evergreen district, Logan dis
trict and a big portion of Redland dis
trict It would be a very nice thing
if we could all have a school house in
our yard, but your correspondent is
or the opinion that it is better to have
a district' that can give from six to
nine months' school, with a good
teacher than to have three or four
districts with possibly a third grade
teacher and about three months' of
school.
Another thing that parties who
have signed the petition probably did
not take in consideration, and that is
that it will require a tax levy to help
organize a new district according to
equipment as the old district must
make good to the new. This is cer
tainly a step in the wrong direction,
as the trend of the times is to con
solidate. Should this district carry
there will be three school houses
within two miles of the new school
house. Parties who. are advocating
the change had better investigate con
ditions at Highland, as they have just
gone through the experience of a
new district. The same may be said
of the district on Clackamas bottom
near Mr. Wilson's, in Logan.

C. H. DYE, candidate for re-election
on the Republican ticket, for the
House of Representatives.
Mr. Dye was chairman of the com
mittee on the Revision of Laws and
a member of the Banking Committee,
and was largely instrumental in pass
ing the Banking Law by which the
Title Guarantee & Trust Co. are to
be tried for their misappropriation of
the peoples money. At a critical time
in the history of the bill with one or
two other members of the Banking
Committee, he made a strenuous fight,
and saved the bill from indefinite post
ponement. The people of Clackamas
Cotmty, would not make a mistake in
his re-election. He has been tried and
proved able and faithful to his trust
and Is entitled to a re-election at the
hands of the people. He has subscrib
ed to Statement No. 1, and wishes for
an opportunity to strengthen the bank
ing law already passed, "and to assist
in protecting the water rights of the
state to the people. When a man has
been tried and has proven himself a
champion of the people's rights he
should be returned, for he will be
much better able to serve the people.
Mr. Dye succeeded In having the
law enabling districts to unite for
High School purposes and many high
schools have already been establish
ed under this law. He was always
opposed to extravagant appropriations
and has always been an advocate of
better common school and good pub
lic roads. Mr. Dye will undoubtedly
succeed himself.

from $10,000 to $40,000 to erect it,

We do not look for Senator Fulton
to get but a very few votes in old
Clackamas. He Is training with the
old ring bosses In Portland; In fact

It Is plain he is not in favor of the

primary law. The contest Is between
Governor George E. Chamberlain and
H. M. Cake, and Fulton will be a
thing of the past after election In
June. We believe Chamberlain will
carry the state by a big vote. While
we are a Republican, we think worse
things could happen than to elect our
