Public Land, States arjc DivWed
Districts.
Washington, Aug. 20. To render
the inspection of the service of the
general (and olfice tnoro effective, the
acting secretary ot the interior today
divided tho public land states into nine
inspection districts, placing a special
agent in charge of each. Thin special
agent will have supervision ovei all
other special agents assigned to this
district and will have charge of all in
epections carried on in that distric,
being in turn directly responsible to
the general land office.
Oregon has been mado a special dis
trict with 8peclal Agent Thomas R.
Ncuhausen, of Minnesota, in charge.
Washington is another soparato di
trict with Edward W. Dixon, of Oro-
gon, in charge, while Idaho and Mon
tana combino to make another district
under Harry 11. Schwartz, of South
Dakota. These special agents were se
lected from the list of fivo land offices
becauso of their protlcibncy and adapt
ability foi tho service and will rocoive
$1,600 instead of $1,200 as horctofoie,
with an allowance of $3 per day for
subsistence
Nicholas J. O'Urien will bo in charge
of the Idaho-Montana district.
Oregon and Washington aro tho only
states thp.t constitute sopacrato dis
tr lets. Tho experience of tho past two
years has demonstrated that, with all
special agents ropoitlng 'direct to (ho
general land ofllco at Washington it
has been almost impossible to keep
chock on those who go .wrong. Num
erous discharges have lately been made,
because special agents havo been found
participating in fraudulent land opera
tions, locating cottiers on desirabble
lands, furnishing speculators with val
uable inside Information, etc. It was
this discovery that' led Land Cannula-
8loner(Richards to work, out the new
system which was approved today.
unccial aaonts in harae of tho dis
trict will havo headquarters' at local
land offices to be e( lected by them.
Each will liavo a civil service clerk,
wlioso salary will be f 1,000 per annum.

says is fully a wcok too soon.
Ill the liutterville, Hubbard, Aurora

4he weather has been all that op

tho last of this month. The prices for
picking will be tho same as last year.
But fow contracts for sale of lops
have been mado up to tins time. Ane
prevailing price for thoso few
that havo been made is 20 to 21 cent
Although growers have mado no effort
(o sell their hops beforo tho season is
fairly opened, yet thero doea not eeeio
to be any disposition to hold the crop,
as there was last year. This iathouglit
to bo duo to tho fact that tho slump it
