In writing the correspondent says: "The weather has been very bad ror the past few days, and we had two bad frosts. The result Is that on low lands, other than sandy land, the roots have rotted to a certain extent. How much of the yards are affected In this way Is hard to tell at the present writing. but there Is a complaint from almost every grower that the roots have rotted and vines that are already out .of the ground are very backward on account of the cold unseasonable weather. Sev eral hopmen here regard this as very serious. In fact, more serious than I have considered It. I think that with good, warm weather there will be a favorable change. In the roots, but It Is very cold and unseasonable." This is the first report of the kind received here from California and local growers and dealers have been excited over the news as It Is taken as a clear Indication of possibility of poor crors In California and as prospective bullish Influence on the market.

BEND. Or, May 11. (Special.) Sev en big automobiles, carrying more than 30 Bend business men. returned Wed nesday from the local Commercial Club's three-days trip to Burns, made for the purpose of officially notifying the boosting body of the Harney county seat that the newly completed road connecting this place with Burns 1 ready for operation, and to aid in .the solidification of the friendly relations existing between the two towns. fiot only was the trip one of the most novel In the way of business mens excursions ever attempted In the Pa clfic Northwest, but It Is without doubt the most Important lnterurban "get to gether" move as yet made In the in terlor part of the state. And novel and Important as was the expedition Itself, the reason for Its making, the open ing of the new Bend-Burns road, is matter of even more significance and statewide Interest. The official putting nto commission of the waaron route from the coming terminus of the Ore gon Trunk Railroad to the distribut ing point for the enormous Harney country. Is a move of very real eco- nomlo Interest to Portland itself, Inas much as through the agency of the new route this rich and hitherto ex tremely distant portion of the state will be brought Into far closer trade relations with the metropolis, and the possibilities of the Portland Job bing business materia Wy Increased. For the new route will clip many miles from the present railroad distance that separates Portland from this territory. with a resulting lessening of transpor tation cost and increase in the ease of business relationship. At Burns, after making the trip over the new route, approximately 110 miles long, connecting the two towns. In the remarkable running time of eight hours for the leading cars, the Bend citizens were entertained. Good Time Is Made. Leaving Bend early Sunday morning. the excursionists reached Burns at 4 In he afternoon, with the exception of two ara. delayed until the evening by break downs. For the greater part of the dls- ance the new road route was followed. Work upon It. originally undertaken by the Bend Commercial Club, and com pleted within the Crook County boun- aries with the aid of the county Itself, ust has terminated. Harney County this week Is putting crews upon the east- rn portion of the route. All day Monday the party of Bend visitors were taken on "sight seeing" rips through the country adjacent to Burns. At noon, William JIacley, the well-known Eastern Oregon stockman. entertained the visitors at a luncheon at his "Bell A" ranch, four miles from Burns, the "home ranch" of the big land owner, who is reputed to have control over more acres than are In cluded within the boundaries of at least one Eastern state. The Burns Commercial Club gave a banquet at the Burns Hotel, Monday evening. 110 participating In the "love feast."

Perhaps most Important to business men of Portland and of Burns were the estimates of the saving In freight cost between these two points. After go ing over the figures presented by A. M. Fowler, contracting freight agent of the Hill line, who accompanied the Bend excursionists, it was estimated that probably half a cent a pound will be saved In freight by the Burns mer chants when the new routing Is put into effect. This figure was based upon a com parison of the Portland-Bend rates over the new Hill Central Oregon line with those In effect from Portland to Vale, at present chief railroad point for Burns. While the Portland-Bend rates have as yet not been announced by the Oregon Trunk, a sufficiently close ap proximation of these was made, by add ing proportionally to the existing rate from Portland to Opal City, 34 miles north of Bend, to answer the purpose. It was ound that on first-class goods, a saving of approximately $7.00 a ton will be made on sniping to Bend. Seo-ond-class shows $7.(0; third-class $7:40; fourth-class ft.80. On commodities, figures equally pleasing to the Burns merchants were advanced. All these figures were based upon a comparison of the present Portland-Vale rate with the approximate Portland-Bend rate. According to Burns men familiar with the two routes, the'wagon freighting cost over the Bend-Burns road will be practically Identical with that over the present route to Vale. The new road 140 miles long, the old one was a couple of miles shorter. However, the new route is practically entirely free from grades, and passes through a country almost Ideal for roadmaklng purposes, being for the most part free from rocks, with no'dobe mud, and with little enow to Impede Winter freighting. On the other hand, say Burns merchants, the route to Vale crosses several extremely bad hills, is rocky, and for several Winter months la practically Impassable. Cost Will Be Lower. Of equal interest to the people of Burns were the comparative figures laid before them relative to the saving In time and money that would be ef fected for passengers between Burns and Portland. It la estimated that $10 will be clipped from the present cost of getting from Burns to Portland, and from 24 to 36 hours from the amount of time consumed In the trip. The possibili ties of the new route as a time-saver were well indicated by the record trip made by Mr. Fowler, the Oregon Trunk's representative who accom panied the Bend delegation. Leaving Portland at 10 A. M., Saturday, he was n Burns Sunday at 4 P. M., making he distance In 30 hours. It Is expected that automobile stages will leave Burns In the evening, reaching Bend the next morning In time to connect with the train, which will enable travelers to reach Portland early In the evening. The estimated running time between the two towns, once the new route Is put into good condition by more im provement work and travel. Is between six and eight hours, easy automobile travel. The Bend business men who made the trip were. U. C. Coe. A. M. Lara, E. M. Lara. C. S. Hudson, B. Ferrel, A. O. Hunter, O. P. Putnam, W. H. Staats E. A. Bather. J. H.
