HOP DEALERS SAV
MARKET ISBEITER
Hop traders report but little busi
ness passing and that for the most
part between dealers, and the mar
kets of the" Coast country generally
are said U have eased off to some ex
tent within the past week or two.
In California there has been some
considerable trade since the first of
the year, and, the quality of the goods
considered, the prices paid were said
to have been- a little above the Ore
gon basis, but the Southern market
this week shows a little quieter tone
and something of a decline in values
there also is noted.
In California, as in this state, the
urgent demand of a few weeks back
appears to have" been measurably sat
isfied. That done, the buyers seem
to have withdrawn to some extent,
at least they are not now disposed to
pay the prices offered in January.
There is still a demand fo hops of
course, and there is little doubt that
were the growers ready to unload at
the figures now obtainable a cleanup
would be effected in short order.
The producers who have a remnant
of the 1912 crop still on hand, how
ever, are still inclined for the most
part to hold for better figures. In
some cases they are reported to be
willing to make slight concessions,
especially on medium grade stock,
which comprises the bulk of the
holdings now remaining in the state.
A general weakening on the part of
the growers now and this is counted
among the possibilities would be a
stimulus to trade.

WILLAMETTE CLUB
E GREAT
The' most successful dance ever giv
en by the Willamette Club was that
held Tuesday evening in Busch's
Hall. About fifty couples spent a
pleasant evening in the beautiful hall
which was decorated with greens in
large Indian baskets placed at inter
vals around the walls. Many beauti
ful gowns were worn by the women.
A novel feature of the evening was
the old fashioned lancers, which end
ed in a Paul Jones. The music was
furnished by Fox's Orchestra of Port
land. The club's next dance will not
be held until after'Lent.
Among those present were the fol
lowing: Bothwell Avison, Miss Irene Hann,

and the salaries of three other clerks
paid out of the same fund. The haste
with which the act was drafted is
shown by the total amount to be
transferred from one fund to another
being given as $25,822.30, instead of
$25,822.90, the accurate figure.
For a great many years it has been
customary for the State Land Board
to conduct matters of business per
taining to the school fund and to pay
the cost of such work out of the in
terest accruing from the school fund.
For many; years, also, the Legisla
ture has refused to make appropria
tions to bear such expense on the
ground that, while the school fund it
self, amounting to about $6,000,000 is
irreducible, the fund should pay for
its own operation and be self-supporting
entirely. Good lawyers have tak
en this view jand it is doubtful if
West's scheme for revenge will have
any tangible results as a consequence.
The board now employes four persons
George H. Brown, the clerk; two
stenographers, and J. D. Sutherland,
who is kept in the State Treasurer's
office for the' reason that such official
has charge of the funds of the boad.
The irreducible school fund is loan
ed over the state, being secured by
more than 7000 notes. The interest
is collected twice a year and receipts
issued in triplicate for each payment.
The State Treasurer's office also has
to examine and pass on the notes and
mortgages securing new loans. One
clerk has been kept busy in that office
by the State Land Board and Govern
or West, as chairman of the board,
has taken part in the affair and sub
scribed to everything" done.
In the case of Herrera, Farreffsaid
he had crept upstairs when Herrera
was away and had placed the bomb,
wrapped in a pasteboard box. on the
landing outside his. door. He insisted,
however, that he intended only to
scare the family,
- Arrested yesterday as a material
witness, Farrell confessed only after
an all-night grilling. He held out till
dawn. Then the detectives sent for
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough
erty and the prisoner went over with
him what he had told the others. The
construction of the dummy bomb followed.

WEST'S ATTACK ON
KAY MAKES BREACH
SALEM, Or., Feb. 4. By procuring
the introduction of a bill in the Sen
ate by Joseph, stricking directly at
the office of State Treasurer Kay yes
terday afternoon, Governor West has
caused an open breach between the
two departments and laid his own of
ficial record open to attack . The ma
terial necessary for the attack was
gathered from the records- of the
State Land Board under West's order,
and his action taken without previous
knowledge, either by Treasrurer Kay
of Secretary of State Olcott, the other
two fhembers of the State Board.--. '
The bill causing the friction ; pro
vides for reimbursement of the school
fund from the general fund in the
amount of $25,260.60, "salaries of em
ployes of the State Treasurer's office,"
and $622.30 "equipment for said of
fice." The unfairness of West, is ad
mitted even by Joseph, author, of the
bill, who announces his intention of
having the measure amended , so as
to include the traveling expenses of
the Governor himself while State
Land . Agent, amounting to $939.58,
JANITOR SAYS HE
SENT DEADLY BOMBS
NEY YORK, Feb. 4. John Paul
Farrell, a janitor, confessed today that
he sent Bernard Herrera last Sunday
the bomb vhich resulted in the death
of Mrs. Herresa and serious injury
to Herrera and ' Miss Fughtman, a
boarder.
Then Farrell astonished the police
by calmly reciting that he sent the
bomb which killed Mrs. Helen Taylor
a year ago, adding that Mrs. Taylor
was his daughter. Next Farrell solv
ed the mystery surrounding the mys
tery of a bomb last year to Judge
Otto Rosalsky. Finally he explained
the death of "Kid" Walker, slain in
1887.
HSslew Mrs. Taylor, he said, be
cause she was his daughter and had
gone wrong. "Kid'' Walker was kill
ed, he declared, by a man named
Lestrange because Walker had' caus
ed Mrs. Taylor's downfall.
The attempt on Judge Rasalky's
life, he added, was made because the
Judge had sentenced a criminal, un
named, to 20 years' imprisonment.
The bomb was sent to the judge by
a man known to Farrell only as
"Tony." ' ""
Herrera's life was sought, Farrell
said, bebause he recently had said he
would discharge him from his job aa

By choosing Chamberlain for a
cabinet position, it is admitted, Pres
ident Wilson will satisfy his Southern
constituencies, as Chamberlain, came
from Mississippi and, has always botn

from the field a radical, nvtny i:f

from 'the Sunny South. If the con
jectures of political leaders r shall
prove accurate, it is deemed unlikely
that the President will name the
members of his cabinet until he lust
minute, and probably not until March
4. Unless he should see fit , for any
reason to do otherwise. It is appar
ent that the state of unrest and anx
iety among the ranks of the Repub

relieved for some time.

"Good health depends largely upon
three items: A pure source of drink

proper sanitation. The water prob

Live Wires. We recommend that the
newly organized Clackamas County
