Moskv 1 Tiiew. This year the hop
crop will bring a large amornt of money
to the valley. Linn county alone will re
ceive a big benefit from it, though-our
crop is much smaller than that ot Lane
county, about which the Regitstcr says:
"The bop nop of Lane county amounts
to about 5x bales annually. As the
crop this year is reported short," aooo bales
cr 000,000 pounds, is probably it icason
able estimate cf the crop ol iSoo. An
advance of one cent rer pound is an In
crease of $Sooo to be put In circulation In
Lane county. .Since the market opened
the price of bops hai advanced fifteen
cent per pound, which, if none were yet
contracted, would moke an Increase of
$uo,ooo to le circulated among our hop
growers. Many growers have aireaev
contracted at a lower price, but it Is saie
o estimate tnat our hop crop mis year
will bring $2qo,oco to the county."
Coxti?su to Fiddle. Items about
old men who continue to display the traits
of a more vigorous age, ate always full of
Interest. Here Is one from an Eugene pa
per: About six miles west of Cottage
Grove resides a man named Taylor who it
84 years of age and looks as though he
may yet see 100. He Is hale and hearty.
Our correspondent says he stopped there
over night recently. MrTavlor bad been
noting in the garden Jill uav and in the
evening ate a hearty supper and then took
a smoke. After a half hours rest he tuned
his violin and cave them some old fashion
jig music. Not many men reach that age
and we doubt if many who do are nimble
enough to play a violin.
A Manufacturing1 State. Mr Calla-
hatu, cf San Francisco, one of the propri
etors of the paper mill, arrived In town a
few days since. He says that Oregon straw
possesses the properties of California straw
in an exauea uegree ana mar. it win matte
a superior quality of paper. Mr Callaham
says Oregon has superior advantages as a
manufacturing state and thai the time is
coming when she will surpass the old Bay
state In (this regard. Express. Lebanon
is very fortunate In getting the paper mill
at that city, and with its splendid start
should become n important manufactur
ing city. It can easily get a fine water
power from Waterloo if necessnry.
Bohemia Minks. The Bohemia mine
east of Cottage Grove are attracting a
great deal of attention at present and
promise to be the best paying mines in
Oregon. A gentleman down from there
last week says some of the men there have
pounded out as high as $25 worth of gold
a day.. Many claims have been located
there recently and the geld fever Is spread
Ing. Dr Ogfesby, of Cottage Grove, has
quite an Interest in the mines and It is
said he refuses to sell for lest than $;o,ooo.
New men are going to the mines every
day. Some of the ore taken out assays as

A Kkmask a ni.a Prose, We have been
intending for some time to describe
Conductor Kennedy's remarkable water
su a to, built into a keystone, which, at
the recent Masonic dedication services,
in this city, was pronounced tho finest
ever seen by any of tho members. Tho
Yaquina Post takes the wind out of our
sales as follow s ;
Mr Chits Kennedy, conductor on tho
0 P passenger, has an unique watch
charm, "keystone," made from a water
agate. Tim agate, an unusually large
one, was picked up on tho beach near
New port, and had been washed hither
and you by tides so long, that it was dif
ficult to tell whether, previous to jx-trl-faelion,
it bad been an oyster, crab or
claiii shell. It was cut and engraved in
Chicago, at an expense of $-10 or $10, and
is a "keystone," with a passenger coach
in the center, surrounded with hitters
such as are usually placed on a Masonic
emblem ef, this kind. One peculiarity
of the stono is that it will rut glass
equally as well as a diamond. You can
see through it lust as if It were glass.
There is a huge drop of water Inside the
stone, with a large spare for movement
when the stone is turned alsiut In the
hand. We believe it is the handsomest,
largest and aolidest petrifaction of the
kind in existence, and its value ran
hardly bo estimated in dollars and cents.

i)V If TUB TRACK.
Our cotemporary, the llrrull,M a way
of getting off the track when speaking of
Cleveland's administration that seems pe
culiar to Itself, It says :
The democrats talk very loudly lout
the dissipation of the surplus In the nation
al treasury, but they forget to mention the
highly Important fact that It is melting
away because Secretary Indon I redeem
ing bor.ds and reducing the Interest ac
count of the government, Cleveland's
secretaries preferred to loan the surplus to
favored national banks to speculate with,
and made no efforts to reduce the Interest
charge,"
Now, the truth Is the policy of purchas
In bonds In the general market by the
government and retiring them, asWImtom
I now dolng.was begun unncr Cleveland's
administration, and from time to time pur
chases were made up to the very close of
his term. So, If there is any credit In the
adoption of this policy, It Is due to Cleve
land's, and not Harrison's administration.
Our cotcmpotsry dwell upon lhs Idea of
reducing the Interest charge but there is
but little saving lo the people as the pre
mium which Wlndom pays on the bond
nearly equal the Interest that aould ac
crue If the bonds were permitted to run to
maturity. These bond were purchased
under the Cleveland administration to pre
vent the accumulation of a huge surplus
of money In the treasury. Cleveland's
Idea was to reduce the surplus In the
tteasury by reducing taxation, (duties,) on
the necessaries of life, such wool, wool
en goods, salt, lumber, coal, sugar and so
forth, and, to that end ihe democratic
house passed a bill for that purpose but the
republican senate would not pas such s
bill, hence no other way to reduce the sur
plus remained but to buy bonds. So the
lhfU will see that whatever of credit
there Is for the Introduction of the policy
of buying bonds before maturity belongs
to Cleveland and not Ifarrlson, Cleve
land's secretaries never loaned money to
national banks.
