Ou motiou tho street cominitteo wa or dered to survey and locate the north line of 11th street, and that the expense of said survey be paid by the property holders along said line On motion adjourned. R. G. Cai.uso, Recorder. Hops. We clip the following from the Portland Standard, of last Tuesday, which explains itself; "A gontleman who has just returned from a trip through Lane county states that in thai county there are 39 hop yards con taining 282 acres, and that the crop this season will amount to 269,000 lb. At the price now offered, 4547Jo per pound, th crop will amount to nearly f 134,500. Parties on the Pound have, it is stated, received 50 per pound for their crop; The cause of the great advance in the pi ice of hop this sea ion is that there are no old stocks on hand in Germany or England, nor anywhere on the globe, and the crop is a eomplete failure in nearly every place except Oregon. In some place the vine have gone into the black blight, an irreparable ruin. The des truction of viueyard in France and Ger many ha almost stopped the production of wine in those countries, and now the f.ng lishman is threatened with the loss of his beloved beer, for beer cannot be made if 'they 'aven't the 'ops to put in it" and America will soon have to supply Europe with wine aud beer."

He informs us that Mr Frank Harrington and K P Dorris intends soon to start a hardware store aud machinery depot in that city. ., A Strategic Movement It would seem that there is some truth in the statement that the O R k N Co. will extend their branch line from Baker City through to the Union Pacific. Wo loam that Chief Engineer K II Mix with a party of employes of the Oregon Construction Co has made a survey through and taken possession of the Burn River Canyon, located the line, and that a large force ia at work along the route all the way from Baker City to Suske River. The Construction Company is send ing forward a large force of men for the work and i also pushing the construction of the line through the Blue Mountain to Baker City, Burnt River Canyon i a very narrow pas aud the first company locating a lino there takes possession of a strip 100 teet in width. This looks as if the the Oregon Short Liue waa to be beaded off from reach ing Baker City. Hon D P Thompson is president of the Oregon Construction Com pany and vice-president of the Oregon Short Line Co., and when they lock horns on the Snake River we have a curiosity to see how he will make things fadge.

About midnight Saturday night, Mra John C Long was shot and killed under circum stances which Hiint to her husliand and one John W Bingham a the murderers. The Cor oner held an inquest at 4 o'clock Sunday mora ing, on which Mr Long testified that his wife got up from her bed and went out doors, re turning in a few minutes aakl good bye to him ad shot herself through the left temple, the ball going through her head and out of a win' dow. The adverse facts, hewover, and that Mr' Long was not left handed; there were no traces of powder on her face, indicating that the pistol had been held some distance from her head, the position in which she laid when the Coroner found her showed that she could not bave shot herself as she was turned com pletely around in her position on the floor, The revolver could not be found during the iu quest but was afterward found under Mrs Long's night-dress, in which she wa clod at the time of tho hnmioido. It was very evident that Mrs Long could not have turned around and secreted the pistol at tor having sent a liall through her brain. Testimony was also brought out that Bingham was occupying a room iu the house with a twelve-year-old daughter of Mrs Long and that the person of the daughter had been violated. Mrs Long was the mother of three children by a former husband and had been married three months tn Mr Iiong. No cause la assigned for the deed. It was understood last night that Ixing and Bingham were held without bail to await the action of the grand jury. Strayed. A large grey mare, Pcrcheon stock, six years old, left my place Aug 14th.

FOR THE FALL & Just received from SAN FRANCISCO BY CONSISTING OF Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Fancy Goods. Ladies Dress Goods in LATEST Styles, Everything necessary to a well regulated Store. Butter, Eggs and Chickens bought for Cash, or taken in exchange for County Fair. Editor Gcard.-Rem time ago quite a number of the iromiuent oitiien of this county anticipated letting up, and did make proper efforts, to get up au Agricultural County Fair in good shape, by incorporating Into a joint atock company, but for lack ot meant and interest taken by a great many ths matter wa not successful, and now a number are yet anxious and have decided to hav a free fair anyhow; that is using but little money, fixing a mile track sufficient for running and trotting and buildings suitable for all other exhibit, with entrauce and exhibit fee free, bene al' premium will hav to be awarded with th blue and red ribbon. This ia a new and an un tried way of holding and managing agricultural fairs, nvvertlishweit i th only and beat mean w can see at the present time. Now it dose not follow that the premiums not being paid ia money that th people are not profited by it Experience has taught and i yearly teaching u that fair and exhibition are very impor tant for practical duration, neither are taey coufiurd U one nationality, but ar regattWd ef great advantage to the producing classes. We are past the time when it is said that son would put corn in on end of th tack aad a) rock in th other to balsuo over th horse's back, and go to mill Ths world is moving on) fast and men are required to better succeed to apply their energiea differently and de more with thetr beads, and their labor in quicker ' time, as it costs much more t live than it did fifty years ago. Agriculture is ahead all other industries aud out ranks other profess ions, nevertheless much information is yet noedej. The producer must have increased knowledge, and with this knowledge come pride, aad these create energy. A long time back it wue thought by many that a steamer would nover cross the Atlantio Ocean. Th im provement of domestlo stock and vegetation Is of receut origin, also th rapid Improvement nuvlo on machinery and implement, and I eaa well recollect raking grain from on ot ths flint reaper made at Cincinnati, Ohio, ruav ning without any reel. Things are not as they once were; people are looking for the best asal if we cannot revxluce the equal, we shall be le't behind. AU branches ot agriculture should be well understood, and th thing called scrub stock should only b remembered a a thing of th ast, and th farmer ar the only ones to bring about this change. People by going to an agricultural fair will always see something to suit their peculiar taste, and most all ar benefitted by attending these fairs; by making more friends and becoming better acquainted. Competition is the life of trade and improve ment, ami the graivl secret ol American prog reus, yet there is plenty of room for improve ment In the dark age, before civilization) became a fixed star, it wa safe eiough to rest and let well enough alone, but at last well enough has gone where the woodbine twintth, smnng tlie debris of tld fogyism. I will say in conclusion that th old place chosen for holding th exhibition i not at) central a I would wish but it ia th beet we could get under th present circumstances. If well I will probably exhibit the most varieties of wheat and th finest and beat ever exhibited in any nation; the whitest and ths darkest; the softest and the bssdest; th tall est straw and the largest beads, and the smallest heads and th shortest straw; the smallest grain aud the largest, and it I like ly that it will be the last exhibit of wheat I will make in Oregon. I have been a large exhibitor ot cereals for many years ia diff erent places, and with what success most of you know, but will at any time be ready to com pete with any Stat or ation. Th exhibition, is to be on th fith and Gth ot October, on the farm of J K Seller, five mile east of Goshen. We would wish th farmers in general to bring aU their best stock of all ages, names and gradoa. grain and vegetables; fruit and flowers; and above all we would like to see the ladiee depart ment well filled will all kind of homework, which would make the exhibition much more attractive. So let us all go and camp and bave a good time. GeorqeBelhhaw. A newspaper man ia expected to be every where, aee everything aud catch every item) afloat, limply because that is bis profession.
