CHICAGO, May 11. Rule of the
United States government In Alaska
was criticized severely last nlgln by
Major-General A. W. Greely, com
mander of the northern division of the
United States army, In an address be
fore the Geological Society of Chicago.
General Greely has made several
polar expeditions on one of which his
party established a record for "Far
thest north" and all but seven of the
party perished. Within the last two
years, he hs'j explored parts of
Alaska. ,
The same trouble predominates In
Alaska today that has characterized
the attitude of the United States gov
ernment towards all the aboriges with I
which It has come In contact," said i
General Greely. "It never treats thera j
fairly. It has put the Esquimaux or
the Alaskan Indians on the road to
ruin.
"A few years ago the United States
courts were a fiasco. It was a wonder
to me that the entire lot of govern
ment officials were not hanged by mob
law. I have been In mining camps
where as the old saying goes, they
hung five men before breakfast for less
provocation than was Imposed on the
people of Alaska. The courts were
only Instruments of private Interests."
General Greely said the "Blood
thrilling episodes of Alaska described
by certain writers are exaggerations.
NO MONEY IN HOPS.
Lane County Growers Abandoning Hop
. Yards This Year.
EUGENE, Or., May 11. George A.
'Dorrls, a former Eugene attorney but
now engaged in farming above Spring
field, who has heretofore had what
has been known as the best hop yard
In the world, has decided to go out
of the hop-raising business because he
says the cost of labor, the difficulty of
securing pickers and the uncertainty of
the market during the past few years
make It almost Impossible for him or
any other grower to make any profit.
He Is now plowing up a portion of his
yard and says he will plow up the re
mainder next year.
A number of other Lane county
hop-growers have decided to abandon
their yards this year, The ground bo
came so dry that It was Impossible to
work It properly. The present rain has
helped conditions materially, but the
general, opinion Is that there will be
much more than half a crop In this
county,

WINTER WHEAT CROP SHORT
CHICAGO, May U.-Excltement
such as hat not been seen on the
Hoard of Trade sine the "Black Rut"
scare of 1904, existed today when
wheat, which has been steadily ad
vanclng for several days took another
lump of more than three cents. Fran
tie efforta we:a made by the bears to
get from under the advance but they
were met by a demand which came
from under the advance but they were
mot by a demand which came from
all parts of the country and swept
everything bo fore It. The high mark
for July option was 91. for Septem
ber 93 and for December AH
options closed at very cloo to high
mark and with the bullish feeling still
unabated.
The cause of the upturn which 1ms
taken place In the last few days Is
the widespread belief that, this year's
crop of winter wheat will show a big
decrease as compared with that of
1900. Cold weather In the west and
northwest, freezing temperatures In
the Canadian northwest and Ju.nuge
said to have been done In the south
west by the green bug, aided the rush
upward. ! I ff
It was reported here toay from Win
nepeg that not more than on fifteenth
of the estimated acreage had thu far
been seeded In the Province of Mani
toba. Local traders were of the opin
ion that wheat has been advancing
too rapidly during the last fw day
nd that a reaction was due. Bo many
order poured In from tha country,
however, that It was certain the ax
pooled setback would not coma until
Utter In the day, One th trading
was In full awing, order from the
country cam to faat and tn such num
ber that lha local crowd was carried
be for it Desperate effort wer made
from tlm to Urn by th short to
stem th advanc and one they forc
ed th price of July option down T-l
cent but this wat only temporary.
The flood of buying orders continued
and when th market closed Price
were clos to th high mark of th
day and th movement seemed to have
lost no fore.
