farmers whefc from any combination of
c'reutuatanot'S or conihination of rpecu

accept less than cost for their products.
Tbut.ie a condition that h;s forced the
hopsrtower of the ether borrowing
states as well a of Oregon peek or
ganization in order to protect their mar
ket and preveut ao over-ipplr, thus
making it impossible for the ".indicates
and speculators to so manipulate supply
and demand as to reap all the pront of
this great special crop, at the expense t
tbe producers and consumer?.
The present outlook in for advanced
prices for good merchantable hops.
Many growers whose Jots were sold by
the Association, also thoce whose Imps
are unsold, a-- desirous of receiving the
proceeds of tl - indiyidual ealea rather
than proratii In any event the Kron

them so that li.uy kept in iioud condition
would not have 10 pro rate on the same
terms with lots for which reduced prices
had to be accepted on hmuiu of mid con
dition or on account of b?ing affected
with bine mold.
Tbe bopgrowers know enough not to
quarrel with eaidi other on account of
their mutual misfortunes. Many of t e
griwers who are sending in their conoer.t

The time is at hand when the producers

fatality too' place on Wagner Creek,

Low had been arraoging to erru'j the
floor of ber dome, and placrd a gxid
sized tub filled with scalding water and a
pot of concentrated lye on the floor. .She
stepped outside the house to get a buck
etful of cold w ater to cool the scalding
water, and while so engaged the child,
Fanny, who was playing in the room,
approached tbe tub and fell headlong in
to the scalding water and lye. Tbe ag
oniziug cries of the child recalled the
mother, but too late to save the child,
who lingered in great agony for 24 Iioore
before death came to her relief. The
funeral took place today.
Bryan's Exit a Blizzard.

what shall his exit be called? Friday
morning he arrived from the north, en

and although his coming had been
heralded, and be was at the Ht alien for
over 30 minutes, one lone democrat wag
there to welcome and npeed the parting
guest the national leader of p jpocrac; .
