Of interest on the subject is the fact that a well-known dealer in the bark in tbis vicinity has received from Eastern brokers an of fer to contract for such purchases as be may foe able to make the coming season. Offers to contract have not been usual in the past, and this one is taken as a token that there will be at least, activity in the : market again. Probably there is no dealer who will be insane enough to make a contract so. far in advance. ...... - ' V . ' ... J A f orwar d tnovement conference began at the M.

' ; .It is good fortune that has fallen to the portioa of the three China men who hold a lease on the S N. Lilly hop yard. Two seasons of fine prices for hops have made them rich enough to live on the fat of the land should thejr return now to the Flowery Kingdom.; In China, as yvell as in some other countries, the length of a mart's purse is the mark ot his importance, and thus meas ured, the Chinese hop kings in question, would be lords arqpng their, lowly countrymen of the Orient. "It was three years ago that" the Chinamen took a lease for five yea on the Lilly yard. The yard comprises forty ares. and is per haps as good a yard so far as soil conditions are concerned, as there is in Oregon. The soil is' strong and finely adapted to hop " produc tion, and the hop product is always of the finest quality . aDd a sure winner of top prices, Hops were not bad the first year after the lease was taken, going at 12 to fourteen cents,tand bringing to the almond eyed lessees a fair re muneration for their labor and eh terprise. . But it was the next sea son that brought them ; returns, such as rarely come lo Chinamen. After the hops had all been gather ed and baled, more than l 6o,obo pounds were available for the mark et. They brought something like 22 cents per pound, and the three operators, alter paying rent, pick ing and all other expenses, had a clean $10,000 in gold for their joint profit. They were so pleased with the outcome that they shower ed gift .after gift on the man from whom they ha leased the yard at only a fair fee, the aggregate 'pass ing in value into' dollars by the hundreds Then, some of v the lucky hop growers celebrated their good fortune with a trip' across the Pacific and a visit to the old home and its strange domestic relations in the Celestial fatherland. , This season was almost as good as was that pf last year for the hop kings, - Their crop was great saye that three or four acres 'were de stroyed by mold and the hop there on left unpicked. In spite of this, however,' more than 50,000 pounds were picked and sold, and they went to the buyer at 23 cents, with a bonus of $50 to make the bargain good. The net profit of the yellow kings, after every expense was paid was more than $8,000 in bright, shiny twenty dollar hold - pieces. The net earnings for the ' three in two years nas Deen neany j 19, 000 more indeed, than most men amass ia a lifetime of toil and trouble. CHARLEY CHIPMAN'S ; AGE. He is Only 47, Says his Mother The ' - . , Correction. The printed announcement in the THEY HAVE WOES. R. F. D. Carriers Bad Spots in Roads Bring Them in Behind Time. . Some of the carriers on R? F. D. routes out of Corvallis are, in, the language of the afternoon tea, "up against it hard," with sespect to roads. In particular, those on route 1, north of town and Route 2. via Fern and Beaver Creek have serious difficulties to contend with. Their allotted time for making the round trip is - six " hours, over a course of ,25 miles. ' They -are due at the Corvallis postofSce about six o'clock, but on the two rou'es in question, it is usually nearly ' eight p. m. before the carriers arrive.The condition is particularly unfortun ate because the routes are newly established and the delay and hard, ships of the trip are detrimental to the service.. Conditions ought, if poSsible. to be improved, to the end that a discontinuation of the serv ice may not be occasioned. - One of the worst places on any of the routes is a stretch of road, a mile and a half in length, between Fern and the Beaver Creek" school house.. The heavy rains have made the highway there muddy and sticky in the extreme, -permitting the wheels of the carrier's vehicle to settle almost to the hubs . in some spots. The trip over it cannot well be eliminated, because about twen ty, families are served with , mail daily from the Beaver Creek school house. On several other stretches along the same route, there are bad spots, that add to the . difficulties, and keep the carrier from one to two hours behind his schedule. On Route 1, the road between Lindermann's and Blake's is in bad shape, in spite of efforts made by the county court and supervisors to keep it in good condition. On this stretch, the carrier sometimes ties up his team, and makes a part of the trip on foot in ordr to gain ' time. Another stretch on the ' same route that has given trouble is a 600- yard strip north of the S wick house near Corvallis, but repairs on it were completed at noon yesterday, and it is probable that no more difficul ty will be experienced there. On route 3. though there are a few bad spots in the roads traversed, the carrier is able to make schedule time almost every trip. ': Concerning these roads, it is of the utmost importance that these initial BL. F, D. routes should not fail.'' In many ways, residents along the routes can 1 render co-operation that will here - and there improve someof the places. Sometimes aditch that will draw , water off a bad spot can be put in with small effort and trivial expense, while in other ways the facilities for passing bad places may be at least'tetnporarily improv ed. .The whole matter deserves the attention both of supervisors and residents along the routes, who are sure to find the county court ready to assist in every way and to co-operate fully and m freely. . If Benton cannot maintain roads sufficiently good to permit of R. F. D routes, then she will have :to eo without routes and ' her people be denied that which ought to beheiri due,' and which people otherwhere con stantly and freely enjoy, Plain Sewing, v .- Wanted at my residence in Wilkin's Addition.
