Honeydew la Hops Serious.
As was briefly mentioned In The
Journal vesterdav honevdew has ap-
.peared In the hopyards of the state. At
flrst It was thought that the deW had
appeared In but a few sectlona .around
this city, but last night's reports and
those coming this morning tell a far
different story. According to the latent
reports honeydew has appeared In al
most every section of the Willamette
valley. This is a most startling thing
at this time and may mean the entire
ruin of the states i07 nop crop u w
spreads. Honeydew Is caused by too
much moisture. This brings mold and
vermin. The latter puncture the hop
vines, taking the sap and in most cases
causing the vine to die. If the vine
does not die at once and the hops ap
pear they do not fully mature, the pod
turning black In a very short time.
Yards that are seriously' affected with
honeydew are very seldom harvested
because it does . not pay to pick the
crop.
There la no demand for hops that
have been attacked with honeydew, so
the present situation causes much alarm
among the growers as wen as mono
who have sold short for coming crop
delivery.
Cheese Market Is gliding.
On account of the larger supplies,
heavier output and very limited local
demand, the cheese market is He a
pound lower all around today and It
would not be surprising if the market
dropped a similar sum before the week
Is ended. Today's top of the local mar
ket for cream twins Is 14 He. .wjhe
Young Americas are going at lttc.
For over a week there appears to have
been secret cutting of Values In the
cheese market, favored customers secur
ing the reduction while others were
forced to pay the full price. Thla made
a farce out or tne regular mri
the trade deemed It wise to openly cut
the values today. Another reason for
tniiav'a rtrnn in cheese is the large-ar
rivals being received In the north from
the east. For some time all the sur
nlna oh of this section has been
going to the, north, .hut now tha
iiinp onatem cheese is there it shut
out the local nroduct unless lower
prices are named.
Butter Market Stronger Again.
A stronger tone was shown In the
local creamery situation ,lhle morning
and elty product is quoted at one price
87 Un a Dnund. While there is no out
side demand as yet there has been very
little accumulation since the advanced
figures were named. The smaller
creameries were forced, to advance
their niintillnnl or else Id Out Of bUSl
ness. for most of them needed large
supplies In. the manufacture of ice
cream. A large amount of Coos bay
butter )M.1n late yesterday afternoon
but founds iBir demand at 26c. How
ever, the trade complains that when
butter la cheap the Coos bay people
send their surplus to the eoutn.
Egg market Is Just holding .its own
today with moat sales on the street at
24c. Once In a while 25c is obtained
but the instances ars so rare that they
can hardly be quoted.
All flghtta for Chickens.
On account of the enormous Fourth
of July trade there has been a very
firm tone in the poultry market during
the first three days of the week. Re
ceipts have been but fair with demand
several times as great. As a rule
springs sold at 16c and hena at 12H
13c, with tranaactions at both figures.
One large retailer was held up for sev
eral cents advance over the quotations,
but this was by no means the general
market and shows how some will take
advantage over a situation.
Brief Botes of the Trade.
Car Brawley cantaloupes was due on
the regular morning California train
today. Condition said to be perfect.
Price Vulea between' 13.25, a crate.
This Is for fancy.
Hothouse cucumbers are a glut on
the market with best selling at 60o a

i Old Potato Market Breacmg.
' The market on old potatoes Is break

the general poor quality shown an the
last arrivals from Minnesota. Price
Oft 25c today and still another decline
ts anticipated.
Bell peppers are In larger supply
from California but price is unchanged

(SnacUl DUDatce te The JoeraaL)
Pendleton. Or., July 3. Mustard and
obnoxious weeds are worse in the wheat
fields than ever before, and with the
large crop of seed ripening unmolested
in the heart Of the wheat belt the crop
will ftontlnu to be shortened, and It
will only be a matter of time until the
entire wheat belt will be Infected. The
farmers of Umatilla county are now
?rappllng with the most serious and
ar-reachlng problem which ever con
fronted them.
On many of the large farms in the
north part of the county there are
tracts consisting of 20, 40 and 60 and
100 acres in a body which will not
be cut this season on account 6f the
numerous white mustard plants which
cover the ground and make harvesting
Impossible. This land would have
yielded from 35 to 46 bushels per acre,
as It will where there are no such
weeds.

(gaeclal Dispatch to The Journal.!
Grants Pass. Or., July 3. The ledges
of Jade, the much-prized stone of the
orientals, uncovered In Siskiyou county,
near the Oregon-California line, are to
be fully developed and the product
placed on the market. A number of
Jade lodes have been found in the Sis

Bromlslng Is that recently purchased by
1. O. Collier and associates of Ssn

cated near Happy Camp. Mr. Collier
has placed a crew and Is opening up the
proposition. Because of its extreme
hardness and toughness special tools are
required to penetrate It. the ordinary
miner's drill nqt being equal to it. The
tools to be used are similar to those em
ployed In China and other countries
where Jade is mined.
Jade is classed among the rare min
erals. When of gKod color and texture
it is a very valuable stone. This Pa
cific coast Jade meets every require
ment. The stone has the general char
acteristics of the best Jade that used
by orientals for carving rings, vases,
idols and ornaments. It is hard and
tenacious, very firm of texture and
takes a splendid polish.
Associated with Mr. Collier are sev
eral wealthy men of southern Cali
fornia. As there is a ready market for
the stone and as there is an abundance
of it on the big lode near Happy C&mp,
they will shape the property for operat
ing on a large scale.
