PORTAGERAILWAYHEETSFAVOR Current at Cclllo Is So Strong: That Placing of Rocks for Dam Is Considered a Daring: En gineering Feat OBEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, D. C, Oct. 20. The report of the engineer board, on its investigation of the Harts plan for opening the Columbia River, between The-Dalles and Celllo, Is to be delayed somewhat, pending the com pletion of certain estimates and compu tations, which are to be considered before the report is agreed to. There is. doubt in the minds of some members as to the practicability of constructing the dam across the river, upon which the success of the Harts plan hinges. It Is found that it will be a most daring engineering feat- to get stones for the dam in posi tion, and to retain them until the whole work is completed. It is a work more dlf flcult than any of Ihe kind yet undertaken '""by the engineers, although Its success is ; promised by some. The probabilities are 'that there will be two reports, some of the engineers favoring a portage road as the best solution, unless another and more favorable site can be found for the dam. 'The boat-railway project was considered, but it is not thought any member of the Aboard believes in its efficiency or prac ticability. The dam concerning the feasibility of -which doubt is expressed by the board of engineers is thus referred to in the plan recommended by Captain Harts. The proposed submerged dam Immediately be low the head of Five-Mile Rapids Is designed to be made throughout of large blocks of rock or concrete weighing 20 to 30 tons, each depos ited at random in a selected narrow part of Five-Mile Rapids by means of derricks on either shore. If found necessary on account of the swift currents, some of the blocks could bo -anchored to the rocky banks by means of chains. The dam need not necessarily be tight, but should consist of enough blocks to raise the present low-water lever 20 feet. Its top would probably need to rise to within a few feet of the present low-water level. MARIAX AO LAX KILLED. Shot by Lover in a luarrel, Who Turn Gnn on Himself. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.

(Special.) The Ore gon hop market opens this week with 25 cents quoted for choice hops. Not all the dealers are offering that price, but the sales made last week show that there is a demand for Oregons at that figure. About 250 bales of Chehalls hops, 500 bales of Yaklmas and 750 bales In Polk and Marlon Counties have changed hands at 25 cents. In California no choice hops have been put upon the market at less than 25 cents, and In Washington 24 to 25 cents has been asked for practically all choice goods. The quotation of Coast hops In New York at 30 cents for choice makes the price here 25 -cents easily, for the dif ference by reason of freight and other handling expenses Is only 4 cents. England Xot Yet in American Market England has not yet come Into the American market and until she does, oay Catlln & Linn, representatives of large hop firms, there Is little reason to look PRESIDENT OREGON GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION. John II. Scott, County Jndgc of Mnrion County. for a further advance, though speculators may continue to bid up. That England will come Into the market Is generally agreed, but the question of when is some thing upon which no one will venture an opinion. The London dealers have been assured that the present prices cannot be sustained, and they may wait some time before placing their orders, in the hope that the promises will he fnifliioii Amor- lean samples have just reached the Lon- aon market, and orders may be expected any day, though they may not come for a month. When T. A. Llveslay returned from a visit to England last year he said that one thing he learned on hlo trln wns thnt- American hops have an established market In that country. American hops Impart a particular Jiavor to beer, and there Is a demand for beer of that flavor to supply a certain trade. This, Mr. Llv.cslay found, makes a market for from 40.000 to n0.oon bales of American hops In England, almost regaraicss or price. It Is well known among Salem dealers and growers that the English buyers al ways get the hops they have orders for, even If they must pay or even 1 cent more than other dealers offer. They never bUV anVthlntr hilt rhnlr rnnia fnr ornApt but when they want the hops they get mem. it is the fact of the established market and the active part the 'English buyers take when thev once nter thf market that gives Interest to the arrival or London orders. Demand for German Hops. While there Is a permanent demand In England for American hops, there Is also a permanent demand here for German hops for the purpose of securing a par ticular flavor. Hops are for that reason Imported here, although a duty of 12 cents a pound must be paid. The importations amount to from 10,000 to 12,000 American bales annually, and will probably reach that amount this year. T3ffect of Coal-Strike Settlement. There were two events of the past week that will tend to help the hop "market, as they have all other marketa 'These events are the settlement of the coal strlko and the loosening of the money market While the passing of the crisis In a great Industrial war and a serious financial situation may not advance prices for hops above 25 cents, It will tend to make buying more free. As has been many times stated, the buying thus far has been carried on largely by dealers for speculative purposes. There are firms of hopdealers who ' have $1,000,000 tied tip in hops. The dealers sell to brewers on three to six months' credit, while they pay tho grower cash before the hops are put aboard the cars. It lg apparent that it takes a big lot of money to handle hops when they are $50 a bale, and many dealers depend upon assistance from the banks. While the stringency In the money mar ket prevailed during the last 20 days, speculation of all kinds subsided and hop dealers were cautious with the rest Now that money is easier, dealers can get more assistance from the banks, and they can buy more freely if they wish. The settling of the coal strike will have a similar effect. The high price 6f coal is said to have caused brewers to cease brewing, except .for immediate needs. It has been argued by some that the strike caused a reduction in the amount of beer consumed, "it Is the general rule that an Idle man will drink more beer than a busy man, especially during the ex citing times of a strike. Beer drinkers will usually wear old clothes and econ omize on food before they will cut down their drink bills. But If it be admitted that the strlko diminished beer consump tion the end of the strike should mark the beginning of a better trade In the foaming beverage. Although- some have predicted that the quantity of beer brewed this year will not reach more than 3S.000.000 barrels, the Government figures show that we have already passed that amount and the total should reach 45,000, 000 barrels against 42.000.000 in 1901. Much Depends on English Demands. It has been said that English brewers will not enter the American market for will not enter the American market for stocked with American hops. If it he true that English brewers are over stocked the question arises why they bought American hops at ISO shillings per hundredweight In September, when they could have bought them at 70 shill ings last December? An advance of 100 per cent does not 6ccur unless the buy ers want the good3. Last year England had a home crop of 660,000 hundred weight and then Imported 50,000 bales from America. This year she has only 300.C00 hundredweight In her homo crop, and why at least 50,000 bales should not be Imported from this country this sea son does not appear. Still, with the statistical situation en tirely In rfavor of further advances, there Is a possibility that not over 25 cents will be paid to growers for some time yet. Should growers let go freely enough at 25 cents to supply the demand then Is no reason why there should be ar advance as long as the supply lasts Rushing hops on the market might cause a slight decline. Had the financial strin gency continued until some of the large dealers were compelled to let go there would most certainly have been a back ward movement When asked fast Sat urday how long or for what price he would advise growers to hold, Manager WInstanley, of the Hop Growers' Aeso clation, replied that he would not give advice of that kind. Each grower must study the situation and decide for him self. Mr. WInstanley said he docs not believe now Is the time to sell, and he Intends to hold his own crop until Christ mas. Up to the present time there has been no need foi anyone to advise growers to stand firm, .for there has not been a time when they showed any disposition to push their hops upon the market. A grower on, the streets with hop samples under his arms Is seldom seen. The fact that growers have been firm has caused a slow sale, and there has been no danger of a sudden rush and a glut It has been expected thatnops would move quite freely at 25 cents and many sales are now looked for. WOMAX'S AWFUL DEED. Mrs. Arnsbach, of Everett, Shoots Hnsband nnd Then Herself. EVERETT, Wash., Oct 20. Reno Arnsbach killed her husband and then SALEM. Or,. Oct. 20. (Special.) John H.

Since his election to the of fice of County Judge, Judre Scott has given especIaL study to the problems of road building, and to him belongs much of the credit for the advance that has been made in that resrect. He was one of tho strong supporters of the. plan of re squiring the payment of road taxes" In cash, instead of labor, believing that permanent roads could not be secured under the old system. Since the enactment of the new law the County 'Court has employed a com petent Roadmaster. W. J. Culver, and work upon the public roads Is progressing alons scientific lines. Enthusiasm has been worked up among the farmers, with the result that they have contributed a large amount of work In building roads, made permanent by means of a good surface of rravel or crushed rock. Marlon County reels highly honored In. the election of Its Coun ty Judge to the presidency of the Oregon Good Roads Association. herself here this morning, In their house on California street with three shots from a revolver. One shot went through her husband's head and two through her own. The dead woman left a letter writ ten In beautiful German, In which she sighed for her home In Paris. The two were married here about eight months ago, when the woman sued him for breach of promise. The complaint at the time set forth that she, Rene Chev alier, had left Paris with Peter Arns bach; that he promised to marry her, but coaxed her to wait until New York was reached; at New York he asked her to wait until "they arrived In St. Paul; at St. Paul he said he would marry her when they reached Everett, whfcre he possessed considerable property. He re fused to marry her here until she brought action. Those acquainted with Arnsbach say the woman wrote for a Berlin mag azine, from which a short time ago she received a draft for tSOO.

Plumbers Enter City Politics. The plumbers of this city have a grievance against the present city admin istration, especially the Water Depart ment They charge that the Superin tendent of the waterworks and his as sistant d!scrlminate against the plumb ers and prevent them from doing any of the city plumbing by allowing unskilled employes of the Water Department to make the connections with the water mains. The plumbers propose, if pos sible, to regulate and dispense with thl3 discrimination by asserting their rights at the polls. To this end they have nom inated plumbers for the City Council In most of the city wards, and at tho com ing city election they will, If they can, elect'thelr men to office and then their troubles wll! be over, so they claim. Sober, conservative citizens, who have considered the matter, arc inclined to the opinion that there would be more trouble over the city plumbing, with a Council composed of plumbers, than the past history of the city has recorded, especially if a number of rival plumbing firms should secure representation in the Council.

Tho Rcpublican party presents Its time honored, time-tested principles of sbund money and stable currency; in other words, good; reliable business tools and equipments, implements of trade, and Its equally time-honored and time-tested principle of protection to American labor, and a conservative, stable, liberal policy toward the people Inhabiting our insular possessions. Our political opponents pre sent nothing In opposition. j "The only criticism I have to offer to night of our political opponents Is this: They seem to bo more anxious to discov er an issue on which they may win a campaign than they have to formulate a policy for wise government, after they fiave won their campaign. It is due an In telligent pccpie mat mere snail be pre sented for their consideration at the poll3 affirmative principles, progressive policies, progressive, measures. I regret the Issue is not between the personnel of office holders, but between a party with a plank, a purpose, an aim, a hope and a party that has nothing to propose; no Issue to present and no one leader In whom ,more than 33 1-3 per cent of their adherents have any confidence whatso ever."

George as president of the Chicago Theological Seminary began today and will continue" 'the greater part of the week. Dr. William R. Harper, president of Chicago University, in his address to the professors and students of the Sem inary, arraigned the present-day church on the charge of ultra-cxcluslvcncss and asserted that the ordinary theological seminary creates In the student a spirit of pride and exclusiveness, which i3 re flected in the light of his church. PORTLAND'S CHANCE. (Continued from First Page.) County. And these three lakes alone have a shore line of at least 200 miles. Thpre Is on each of them aHittlc wheezing steam boat which runs up and down occasionally but to no great purpose, since the lines of local transportation are established across country, and since, under existing conditions, nothing in the way of traffic originates at the lake shores. But under more developed conditions, the lakes would serve as Important feeders to a railroad system, and would aid prodigiously In the distribution of merchandise brought to sta tions on the lake chores. The existence of these lakes very much simplifies the problem of "covering" the country In the matter of transportation, for each of mm Is capable of a service precisely similar to that rendered by the Lower Willamette Slough in its relation to transportation systems at Portland. Here as in most situations there are some who disclaim against progress, de claring that the country is better off with out railroads; and In proof of this notion they point out that wages are higher than in the Willamette region, that plenty abounds, and that there Is no local dis tress. A railroad, they say, would throw the freighters a very considerable class out of business, -and In every way "re duce the country to the general competi tive level." Of course, those who take this narrow view are entirely oblivious of the larger elements of the situation. They do not see that the condition which holds the country "above the level of gen eral competition" puts a tax, and a very severe one, upon every householder, and that it puts limitations upon local life at every point They do not see that the country is prevented from engaging In any Industry which depends upon transporta tion, or that the income from the pres ent Industry is cut down at least one third by the hard conditions under which the beef product Is marketed. The practice of the country in this last respect is to "turn oft" turn off being the local phrase for sell stock In the Fall, at a time when offerings are everywhere large, and when the advantage Is with the buyer. During the long Winter, when prices are highest, the Klamath cattleman is out of the mar ket, for the reason that there is no wav by which he can get his steers to the railroad He. loses the advantage which might be his If he could choose his time to sell, and he. loses the profit of prepar ing his steers for slaughter. And, since the method' of sale is upon tho baste of gross weight at the railroad, he" Is made to stand the loss of flesh occasioned by the drive of from 100 to 300 miles from ranch to shipping station. And in many in stances this is a very great loes, since stock which leaves the range or ranch In good flesh oftentimes arrives at the point where its weight is taken in a very de pleted condition. But the greatest loss of all as related to the generai interests of the country is due to separation from the general life of the business world. Settlersdo not easily .find their way over mountain ranges to situations, remote' from a railroad, and where the costs of transport and of living are high. Capital is always shy of a re gion which lies far outside the range of ordinary business operations. If the Klamath country were accessible in the usual sense of that term, It would not to day be pioneer country; and I am not ven turing too far In saying that with its ex traordinary and scarcely touched resources its general wealth would he five times multiplied under the advantages which a direct railroad connection would give it A.
