A telephone message from up the Vnl- ley thie morning says that the hop ,ynrda are again suffering at the hands of the rain, The' weather is just the .kind that the lice want and they are Increasing at an alarming rate. Great fpars are still entertained that the weather will continue rainy until after the opening of the picking season, and 'If such is the case very few of the yards will have the mat Bred' product. , Rains during the picking would also 'have a tendency to bring on rot. ' All Depends on Weather. 'To tell you the truth I hardly know Just what to say In regard to the hop situation, says Julius Wolf, a prominent . hop factor of Silver-ton. "Everything in regard to the slie of the yield and the quality of the stocks now depends ' on the weather from now to picking. ' time.

' A REAL BARGAIN Owner leaving city will a ao rifles cosy little home, furnished or nnfunlshed. In Xilaooln Park Annan. Owner, 900 East f events street iroruu (7 Oeorgo B. LoaA-aa.) KANSAS CITT. Mo Aug. Jl In livestock circles In all the cities of the Central Weat that Is, the stockyards centers, Chicago. Omaha, Kansas City. St Joseph and St Louis Is heard con tinually the statement that the pack ers have decided to force the price of oattle down to what It was several years ago. The commission men Bay, and they are upheld by the big ahtppers. that it looks tiv if the combine had united on the policy of steadily forcing the market down to the place where the profits on feeding cattle and raising them wilt" da cut in two and the pack ers' profits doubled. Of course the con sumer of beet 1b not to nave a reduc tion In the prloe he pays for his steak at least that Is not the way the pack ers who control the situation figure it. Oattle l X-owar. Cattle now are selling 11 lower than they were a year ago when the top .notch was reached and whan the cat tle raisers were congratulating them selves. How much lower the market Is to fall is the question that Is both erlng the men who are well stocked up on ranches. Of, course the decline In the feeder and stbeker market Is another thing. While It la not helpful to the big ranchmen who raise the calves, still it helps the feeder of cattle, and not the packer. It is the general oplnon that feeders and stockers have been too high for a long time, considering the value of fat cattle. The man who paid the prices asked a year ago for feeders and has made money has been the exception, and not the rule In the cattle business. Ac cording to the present outlook, if corn keeps on showing gains there should be money in feeding cattle this fall. Kan sas, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois will feed many cattle and the demand will be steady. Although It Is expected the 1 price will not advance materially over the present price. Thla, of course, will be due to the fact that the feeders have learned a lesson regarding high prices. If feed prices Jump the demand will fall off. XaAnsaa City Zs Kirn. The Kansaa City market has again been placed upon a basis where it Is no worse than the other markets, so far as the fat cattle question is concerned. The packers have the markets regulated so nicely that no shipper can make money by buying In the Kansas City yards and shipping to St Louis or Chicago. Kan sas City packers have been paying al most as much fotvcattle as tha packers have in Chicago. This has been due to the demand, of course. However, with the Kaw River raging again It Is doubt ful if It is best to advise shipments to this city at this time. A week may send the danger entirely away. Again, a week might see the stockyards out of business again. Of course the danger is slight that the Kaw will again do its deadly flood work so soen. If the bridges were strong the high water would not cause so much alarm, but the temporary structures that have been put up since the flood are frail and thejr danger causes much of the uneasiness, Cattle Beceipte Short. Contrary to expectations last week local receipts of cattle were only mod erate and nearly 10,000 less than tn the preceding week, and about 22.000 less than in the corresponding week a year ago. The decrease seems entirely con fined to the' thin grades. The week's total barely reached 44,000, against 53, 26 last week and 67,200 a year ago. The advance of 20 to SO cents for corn-fed beef cattle the first three days of the week was almost entirely dissi pated before the close of Thursday's market. The sales on Friday were fully 16 to 25 cents lower than Thursday's best prices, except in a few cases. Big heavy steers selling under 15.10. et the close Friday sold Thursday morning readily at $5.26 to $5.38. The advance attracted liberal shipments towards the close of the week.

STATUTE OMITTED FROM THE CODE No' Mention Made by Bellinger 0 n.11. . j. 1 r 'nr. i. union 10 taw rermiuing Counties to Work the Pris oners, Discovery' Made by an Attorney Who Was- Preparing to Be gin an Injunction Suit. In closely inquiring Into the right of the County Court to compel prisoners to work on the rockpile, Ex-United States District Attorney Dsn R. Mur phy made the discovery yesterday that no reference to any statute granting such right to the court Is made in the Bellinger dV Cotton code. The code was complied and annotated and supposed to contain all the laws of the state up to the year 1901. But It makes 00 men tlon of the statute of 1S99 which per mits counties to work their prisoners The cast was approved February 14, 1899, and United States District Judge Bellinger and W. W. Cotton, general at torney for the O. R. A is., completed their work on the code about three years later. Cant Oet Their Client Out The discovery was made by Mr. Mur phy after the closest investigation of the statutes. The firm of Murphy, Sweet dV Watts, at which he Is the gfjilor-iiiambaFr had -been retained "tol- cure the release of a prisoner who had been sent out to work on the rockpile, and to secure an injunction restraining the county from compelling' Its pris oners to perform such duties. Who the prisoner Is Mr. Murphy refuses to say, but there Is a report to the effect that he is well connected In Washington. Mr. Murphy Immediately undertook the case and In looking over the code e found that section 1454 of a law which was passed In 1864 provided that the prisoners should be Imprisoned in the county Jail, and under its terms the County Court could not force them to do any work. The attbrney was certain that a later law had been passed, but failed to find any mention of it In the index, or in the code after he had gone over It page by page. Looking up the session laws he found the special act of 1899 which gives the counties the right to work their prisoners at the rate of $1 a day for each day of sentence, not less than eight hours to constitute a day's work. If a prisoner should re fuse to work he may be placed upon a diet of bread and water until he sig nifies his willingness to comply with the order of the court Advised Against a Salt, After reading the law Mr. Murphy advised his client not to bring suit, un less he wished to test the constitu tionality of the law. The release of the prisoners would cause a great delay in the work of tm proving the country roads. The 14 men who were at work yesterday broke enough rock to keep a gang of men at work on the Taylpr'B Ferry road busy for two days. The prisoners are wil ling workers, and have not asked for moment's rest. Durlpg .the heat of the day, however, the guards give a rest of each section which is under the beat ing sun of about five minutes an hour. The men seem to prefer the work on the rockpile to confinement inthe Jail, and have no complaint to make ' of their treatment. The rock which is broken is removed' by a gang of 10 men under the direction of Road Supervisor John Hoffman. Sev eral fills along the road have already been made, and when the banks are cut down and the road widened 30 feet, it will be one of tho finest driveways west of the Willamette.
