The New England Homestead's carefully prepared re port of tbe hop crop of tbe country shows Uial mere is cuuxiueraoie suoriuge, partic ularly in New York state. Tbe average yield of all bop-growing territories will full nearly 20 per oent. under a (all crop. In New York Btate only three-quarters of an average crop will be harvested. Massacha sett), which grows few hops, will have 75 per cent, of a full crop, Maine IK) per cent.. Vermont, a full crop, Wisconsin, CO per cent., and California w per cent. Tbe ibortage alone is sufficient to send prices op, but added to this is tbe fact that most ol the bops have passed out of tbe hands of the growers Prices have reached 40 cents a pound in New York and Zl1, in California. Prices offered in these two states govern tbe sales in oth.T states. One-third of the crop was contracted for early in the season at price ranging from lb to w cents, u rowers gen erally held tbeir crops for an advance and are sure one will come. While the orop is short, tbe quality is better tban usual. Tbe yards are quite free from lice and nothing bas injured tbe quality of the crop, Dry weather has checked the making of the vine, wbicb accounts for tbe light yield. Wanton Destrnction of Game. Tbe Indians living on the Umatilla river, Oregon, complain that fishermen catch hun dreds of trout for sport, carry away only enough for a meal and leave the remainder to rot on tbe banks. This is the kind of port that has exterminated tbe buffalo and ii rapidly exterminating all the game in this country. That phase of human nature that finds pleasure iu the wanton taking of life is a ennous one. it one nnas pleasure in fishing after he has canght enough to satisfy his wants, it is an easy matter and no loss to him to throw the captured fish back into the water. A little reasoning about the matter will convince any one that there is just as much sport catching flies as there is in the wanton destruction of fish.. While the gov ernment is spending thousands of dollars a year to stock rivers and lakes with fish tbe rod and reel cranks are undoing tbe work. Borne of these days the people will wake up to the fact that men should pay for their destructive sport. Disappeared. Milton Douthit, a well-to-do farmer resid ing three miles from Vancouver, Washing ton, went to Salem on Tuesday, tbe 12th hut., with $6,000 in bis pocket to pay for a farm he bad bought near Silverton.

Kissenger, wbo recently died at tbat place, some years ago developed clear signs of insanity, and that his death was caused merely by the bite of the dog. I wish to make a correction of tbe atateuient in regard to his showing signs of innanity previous to the time of bis death. Where tbe author of the item got his information Is more than I know. The statement ia false, and can be proven so by all who were ao quainted with him. Six years ago he had a sever attack of brain lover, and was like any person would be uuder suob circumstances. out of his mind, bat since that time np to the 20th day ot July, 1HU0, there waa not a brighter Intelligent young mau to hia age in any oountry. It does not look reasonable iust a man in good health as be was would die in two weeks' time of mere lusauity, or from the bite of a dog, if be was not affected with any poison, as the item of M. D. atstes. CUAR1.E KlHSINUkB, Asking- for the Comity Roml. The Oregonian Railway Co. will come be fore tbe county court at its meetiug next week asking that it be allowed to appropri ate the county roads around Scuttle point and the point a short distance below on tbe Middle Fork. Tbe wagon road would have to be constructed farther up the hills and would have considerable grade. W suppose iust tne railroad can force Its way, but tbe oouuty court should see to it that the Interests ol the county are carefully guarded. It is the rule with railroads to promise every thing to gain favors during tbe course of construction, and afterward fail to fulfill tbeir promise. Th road iu question has ooat Lane county a considerable sum of money and if the railroad must use it. it should be compelled to pay all expenses made necessary oy tne construction of a new rood. Judge Soott and several railroad officials viewed tbe points in question Wednesday. Mail Dblat.

While here be kept sevoral men and teams at work grading streets. There sre a Urge number of flhrmrn In town awaiting the opening of Meyer and Kyle's cannery to receive their catrhings.

Tbo present method of sprinkling Willamette street is unsatisfactory and inadequate. The work must be done by many persons snd as a con aeqiienre in some places it is wet until mud dy, while in others the dust is not interfered with. Tbe side street receive little if any attention snd the wind briugs the dust from them into Willamette street. The street to ibe depot is used by many of the citizens and travelers, and they are subjected daily to a cloud ot dust from passing vohicles. It certainly is strange tbat the people would so long patiently submit to the uncertain, incomplete method of sprinkling that has been in use here for two years past. Tbe city council has tbe power to change the sprinkling system. Th use of hosa in sprinkling Willamette street is a nuisance, besides being a cause ot danger from skittish horse and those not accustomed to its uae. An ordinance to compel Its disuse would soon have the effect ot providing Eugene with a deceut effective method of street sprinkling. Junction Firrmkn.

The boys who have joined the company will during tbe next three mouthi have to expend no less than (375, but they bay seen the heavy losses caused by Dre last spring snd hope to Srevent a repetition. Besides this a well rilled fire company will reduce the risks taken by Insurance companies aud conse quently their rates. The property owuer will be pleased to assist this undertaking and In a few months Junction will hav a number one oompany. Dkbri.ict or Dorr. Corvallla Times: Tbe spiritual welfare of our city is either being neglected, or our ethereal ideas hav reached that state of perfection as to need no watchful eye. Are w growing better and ablor to be left alone, or have our celestial shepherds grown tired of their teachingi? We trust the former. Laat Sabbath was an unusual one for Corvalli-t as but few worshippers had an opportunity to attend devotional exercises. Nearly every church in ths city was closed and not a bell souuded to break the monotony of an unusually quiet Sabbath evenlug. The pastors are oft' on their summer vacation and the city is at the mercy of the devil and diphtheria. Y. P. S. C. E.-Next Sunday.
