"" T .Hop Situation Xa Mixed. The hop bulls and bears are now In dulging In a war of words, the former set asserting that quotations are on the ' upward move, and that 23 cents has '.' been freely offered at Salem and -was refused, .while the latter claim that . ; ..'.they -can - now buy all the hops that .they want at 20 cents a pound. Julius Wolf, a well-Known buyer of . Bllverton, says: 'The hop market Is dull with very Jlttle business being offered. There are. " at the present time very few,, if any. , 'orders In this city for hops and I can buy all the stock that 1 want at 20 cents a pound." i "' In answer to this, one of the larger buyers In the country writes from New York: . . ' ."The hop , market Is certainly In a ' better shape than at any period during the season.' If the Oregon growers . hold on to their stocks they will be able to get any prices they seek before ' the season trended and the "new crop Is .''ready for the market. There has been a large number of dealers in this city -r , , who .have sold . short lately and they ara vainly trying to bear the market so they can cover. ' There is no possible ,. doubt , at this time In my . mind that 'hops are actually worth much more i i money-rthat-atth'"-fCTi''"ttj3r"-arr .'quoted.'' "If the Oregon-Washington r pool control a majority of the hops as :. they, say they do, I am willing to make ' some extensive buys at 20 cents and imnniiii v asvss.1 h mi iiniiat iim iiihih miss . a large number of New York dealers in " the same fraire of mind. "Al 'I have said before, if the .Ore gon ; and Washington growers hold on to their last year's tock they will have -iV the situation entirely In their own hsjDds.

Wheat clearances for the week were 4.(578,000 bushels against 3.901,000 bushels last year, and bushels against 2i:).2'lS,000 bushels for a like period last year. The Modern Miller said in substance. "Improvement in some sections has been offset by reports of damage from floods. (By Rdward A. Beals.l The past week was more favorable than the previous one, and a general Im provement has been noted In the condi tion of crops. Good .rains fell in ' the eastern sections, which temporarily re lieved the droughty conditions and caused rapid germination of Jate sown grain. A few small showers have also occurred In the southern part of ths, state, but more rain Is badly needed In' that section. In the Willamette Valley and the coast counties the soil, if any thing. Is too wet. and warm weather and more sunshine is desired. The wheat crop east of the Cascade Mountains Is backward anil unusually weedy, with prospects that even with favorable weather conditions from now on the yields will be considerably less9 than those of last year. In the Willumette Valley the weather has been rery favor able for wheat, and the crop has stooled nicely and the plant Is healthy and vig orous. Hops in the old yards are not doing well; the number of missing hills is large and the vines tire making an uneven growth. In the new yards the hop vines are thrifty and promising. Potato planting is well advanced and corn and gardens have made fairly good progress during the week. Range horses in Klamath County are poor for this season of the. year. The strawberry crop Is good, and cherries promise fairly good yields, although the cold weather and rains have Injured them somewhat. Prunes, pears and applea have set a full crop. Willamette Talley.

This will mean a large dinner-bucket brigade and a steady payroll. "The road has been surveyed 40 miles-farther into the Washington country," said Richardson, "and when It Is completed will throw open the Horse Heaven Country, a rich district that has never had the advantages of railroad communication with the out side world. The road Is surveyed to Blckleton, but the death of H. W. Cor- bett haa prevented its being built. I do not believe that the report that (Senator Ankeny is Interested in the Columbia River A Northern has any foundation In fact. Speaking concerning the . 1903 wheat yield, Richardson said it was all that could be desired thus far and that in dications were lor an average crop. "It will not be a record-breaker," he said. 'The weather has been too cold and the spring too backward for that, but the farmers will make money Just the same." " ' The country tributary to Goldendale Is , settling up rapidly and those who farm In its Immediate vicinity do their trading In that city. But even the things which are bought at Golden dale.

The alarms-whteh have -been--sounded during the past two years regarding the trade relations between the United States and certain other countries of the world Ind no Justification In the figures of our commerce up to this time. The threo. countries which have been men tioned from time to time aa likely to decrease their importations from the united States are Russia, Austria Hungary and Germany. A study of the latest figures of the Treasury Bu reau of Statistics regarding our im ports show a steady, growth In ' the trade relations with all of these coun tries, and indicates that our commerce with each of them Is likely to be larger in the present fiscal year than in any previous year. This is true both of the Imports and the exports. To each of these three countries our exports are steadily and rnpftlly increasing and from each of them our Imports are also steadily In creasing. This is strongly marked In the figures of our trade relations with i Russia in the present fiscal year. The j latest figures show that our exports to Russia for the nine months ending April l were nearly double those of the corresponding period In any year of the last decade, and that our Imports from Russia are also steadily and rapidly ncreasmg, pemg aouoie inose or lbyy and three times those of 1894. The figures regarding our trade- relations with Germany and Austria-Hungary show a corresponding Increase, Auscoods Mlntnf Co.... Am. Copper Co Atchison, com do preferred Cbl. 4 tit.

I consider this to be an absolute necessity If ths, people of Portland are to be protected.' Dr. Woods Hutchinson, of . the Stale Board of Health, who made the above statement,. has. entered upon a campalgu ... for public protection, which he declares he will not abandon until ths object aought has been achieved. "It is not that diseased meats convey the dlseaae with which they are pol luted to consumers," Dr. Hutchinson . said to The Journal, "but that diseased a .11 1. I. . I . A Ajynn .'i ail iiiua maw 1110 Biuinni of those who eat them in a disarranged y condition and most susceptible to all forms of disease. Pork is Dangerous. Take pork 'that is Infected cholera germs." he said, "and follow out. you will find , that, while those v wno eat never contract tne cholera, tnev suffer from 'griping pains, from nausea and from diarrhoea. Fatal results some times follow, the meat causing ptomaine poisoning. ' All this could be prevented by striking a blow straight at th root of the evil and preventing the sale of diseased meats." Any form of preservative used to prevent the decay of animal foods Im pedes digestion. This fact has caused Dr.... Hutchinson to Strongly oppose the sale of meats which have been "treated" in this manner. 'Decomposition and digestion sre in a sense parallel," tho doctor said, "and anything that stops one . stops ; tho otjier. ' A food that has been petrified to that extent that It 'will not rot has been placed In a condition that places in about the same relation to the hu man stomach as a. chunk of coal." Dr. Hutchinson deplores the state ment made by a morning paper in which he Is quoted as having said that a majority of country-killed Meats were poisonous or diseased. Swill Ted Meat Bad. "What I did say," he declared to The Journal, "was that a minority of the country meat was Impure. This is not a reflection In any way upon the meat brought to the city by farmers; it is a straight declaration that swill- fed meat is not fit to eat. What should be done is Is license the sale of these' meats and of milk In the city of Port land and thus prevent impurities from J I I 1 J 1. .1 l . .r Wilis Bom unjnuuniii, tjjr iibiwmb hhw person responsible for these - foods. ordinance ---men - - has been 14 KtHi 67 1 All. -Sa.TJ-.iTfee 66 74 :i;i 76 2S N 4HV. !
