Cohen. Up m the west sld, whera tha beet hopa In Oregon are 'grown thla year, they will not gather mora than 60 per cent of the crop on the average. Thla conclusion la reached after a personal trip all through the eait aide yeaterday up aa far aa Independence. Mold and lice are ahown on every aide, but generally apeaklng growers are not picking tbla claaa of product the present year, the pick In moat Instances being the beat In years. Up a the Krebs' yards at Independence the bale of hop thla year will be of the beat quality ever sent forth from that place. According to the plckera, the management of the yarda waa over careful thla year that nothing: but the peat pick ihould be baled. , No leaves larcer than a 10-cent piece were allowed to enter the bale, and atema were strict lv excluded. On thla account It la ati ed that Kreba paid the plckera 11.20 per 100 pounda. and, according to the pick era, they earned It. Never were plckera ao cloaelv watched aa thla year in tne big yards at Independence. For that reason few of them returned with any money, and many were leaving the yarda at the rate of 60 a flay, me onnnlnr of school todav made a fur ther decrease in the army -ot plckera Saturday and yeaterday. Zorst Bros.' Pick. At Independence it la stated that In the yarda of Horst Bros, the picking was very similar to that of the Kreba. There were reports that $1.16 waa belna Dald bv Horst.-because he. had moat of his hoDB sold. It la likewise stated that Krebs has sold all his hops at 16 cents a pound, ana iney must De striciiv up to contract or the contractors will not accept delivery, because of the much lower market at this lime. Alone thesaest side many of the yards were deserted altogether because of the sw ft ravages of the vermin and mold Mold Is appearing very fast In all sec- tlona of tne Dig yaras at inaepenaence, and with the continuance of rainy weather picking operations will be brought to a standstill for the rest of tne season within a day or So. While few days of rain does not generally stoo hop harvesting altogetner, me rant mat hops arc bo low and none .but best qual ity Is wanted will cause arnwers to shut down rather than pick hops of poor radc ror which they 'are not naeiy to receive a sufficient price to pay them ror gathering tne crop. Picking Practically Orer. Vp all through tlje eaat aide hop picking la practically suspended for the season. In only a few Instances do the yards nhow a production greater than a vear aao. while many yards were left unpicked In their entirety, and In others the pick was rrom la to la per cent. Very few of the growers picked more than 50 per cent of the crop, and the average will not De more man tnia rig ure. With but a half crop picked thla sea son, the total production of Oregon will not total more than 90.000 bales, while It Is not expected that the production will total more than 75,000 balea Thla Is Just half of last year's bale In Ore gon. Washlneton Is credited with 30. 000 to 86.000 balea this season, as against 55.000 a year ago. California will llkelv have 70.000 bales, against 110,000 bales laat veer, In New York the production will -not likely reach more thiin 60,000 balea. compared with 75,000 bales a year ago. Shorts Ball Too Knob. This year It in stated that the ahorta sold alone of Oregon hopa aome 100,000 bales, so the prospects are that even with that amount gathered there will be some scrambling for supplies. They are rushing everywhere at this time to con vince the grower that their talk of a very short bale, made a short time ago. In order to force them to pick, waa all a mistake on the part of the newspapers reporting it. Now they are talking of record-nreaklng productions everywhere. Now iney want to Duy.

Bentley who shot and killed a mAi in a New York naloon last Saturday follow ing the refusal of the victim to give Bentley another drink, is the same Bentley who Is wanted here for steal ing J500 from Fred Bowne. proprietor of the Maple Leaf saloon.

The gentleman In the gorgeous blue uniform and the cup with golj letters upon It handed me a card Inscribed as shove. There was a good Oeal more than that on It. though. There ws a promise of Greek and Russian guides, offers of services from guides whose ImiKuages looked like the spluttering of n bad pen. and, furthermore, u no tice to strangers, bidding them beware of anyone using the card as a reference who did not wear the badge of the as sociation. The gentleman In blue and gold wore It all rlntit. and wore It all over him, and I am perfectly certain th'it he would have spoken any of the spluttery languages to me on the slightest encouragement. His English nan a strong uerman accent, anu wnen I answered him in German, the Ger man In which he answered me back had a reminiscence of Italian In It. I am a polyglot myself, and replied in a few words of Danish. This put him on his mettle, and ha araurd the point hotly In Swedish, with a smattering of Dutch mixed Into It to give It flavor. I was with a friend who had Just come back from St. Peterbura, and made a remark to him in Russian. The man In blue and gold hummed a few bars of "Boje Tsare khranl" In reply, and told my friend Just what he thought of him In Russo-Pcrtuguese. Luckily both of ua had forgotten our Greek, for Greek abuse with a Spanish accent would certainly have finished ua. And then the man In blue and gold subsided Into French, which he spoke fluently but exotlc.illy. probably with a tinge of Turkish. Arabic and Yiddish mixed, and told us that he represented a new association of guides. Interpre ters, and couriers, which has been formed to supplant the old unauthorized guldea, who for so long have Infested the streets of Paris. Old-Stria Guides. The Paris guide, who la. according to my blue and golden friend, soon to be come obsolete, waa certainly a terror to the visitor to Paris. He was a nutsanrc. too. There must be thousands of readers who remember their first ex perience of him You arrive In Paris, go to your hotel, but he, change, nnd saunter out on the boulevards. You have not been on the boulevards three minutes before an evlllv dressed person, with a roguish twinkle In his eye, has lurched crabwlse nt you, remarking: "Want n guide, sir?" You do not want n guide, and you tell the man so quite good-humorealy. and go your way. I Two minutes later you are shaking ! off another of the tribe, and before long are using rather strong language to a third. This third one. with a mixture I of all the languages which you have ever Heard ana Dad language among them will tell you what he thinks of your behavior to a gentleman in re duced circumstances, and. aa thla if your first visit, vou are feeling in youi pocket for the consolatory coin when the fourth guide comes up. ,-J . Helpful Cabman. ' i . Then you probably throw yourself on the mercy of the first cabman. Tha. Paris guides of the old school knew ' Very little about Paris. If they took ou to the Louvre (1 mean the museum, not the shopi, they would hand you over at the door to another guide, whom yol had to pay extra. They knew nothing of any ot the real sights of the city, and If they gave ycu any Information of Its history, that, Information waa In variably Inaccurate, -What they dhl know was what shops In the city would pay them commission, and the ' inge nuity with which they steered you to these shops when you did not want to buy anything, and away ' from other where you had something to buy, but where they had nothing to make, .was stupendous. In the evening the guide would first of all take vou to a., cafe, where the best beer In Paris, or the nest anything else) whlcn you wanted to drink, was ob tainable. Directly you got into 'the place everybody in it knew that your companion was a guide, but he sat himself down at your table with a flna air of being your intimate friend, and he made you supremely ridiculous by f ix ing you, in a loud voice, knowing in ormation about Paris life. Of course. If his victim spoke a very exotic tongue, the worst that could happen to him waa to be laughed at for his helplessness In needing a guide. rifnres of Tun. But If. on the other hand, the guide) discoursed In English or in German, tho chances were that many people in the cafe understood him and enjoyed the rubbish which his victim - wag absorb Ing. And I am not alluding to the beer.' From the cafe the next move would be . to the Moulin Rouge the Folies Bergere, or some other place which any Englishman could find without help, . and enjoy ever so much more without i It. You were unwelcome everywhere ' you went with him. and If you escaped without a barefaced attempt at rob bery before the evening was out, you, were verv lucky. Sometimes these . street guides of Paris have turned out verv bad characters Indeed, and there have been many caaes of unwary.1 visitors who have been hocussed ana. robbed by them. The association of guldea. Interpreters and couriers of Paris. whWh has its headquarters In the Rue de la Micho ,' dlere, was registered last month at the A prefecture of police with the object of furnishing travelers with reliable guides. It has already almost done away with the nuisance of the pare-' ' ment guide, and In this respect It has done aell. Also to the student of for- a elgn languages many of the guides sup- plied by the association will prove quite' invaluable. Many of them are Babels. . In miniature, i.nd their language is at mixture of every tongue on earth ex-' ceptlng Volapuk. But several of the -guides speak F.speranto. I do not know v what they mix It with. t : KING PRESENTS CASTLE TO THE GOOD FOLK OF JERSEY 4j) Ron he Joined the Brewers' team of tha CHICAGO WHEAT VALUES.

The trade and public are fa miliar with the chief factors in the price-making proposition aa regards wheat this year. The belief that the Canadian northwest has a very poor crop and will be more or less out of competition this year is in a measure verified by prices current at Canadian cenders as compared with American points. Then the trade has reports of very small crop for Germany, their to tal being very light. The first killing frosts have occurred In seven of the last 20 years. In five of these years the frosts came on nr he fore September 20. This would indicate that the corn crop has about three out of four chances of escaping a killing frost the present week.

The most notable of Ita prisoners was William Prynne, the Puritan, author of the monumental work entitled "Histrlomast'bc." in which he condemned stage plays and players, music and dancing, with impartial se verity. For this literary effort, and another achieved when he was a pris oner in the tower, he was condemned to pay the king a fine of 150.000. to suffer the loss of his ears and to be imprisoned for life. In 1637 he waa re moved to Mont Orguetl after an un happy voyage of 14 weeks "in a bruised shipwrecked vessel, full of leaks, through dangerous storms and seas, which spoiled much of his stuff and bedding and threatening often shipwreck; to him." . . h i a Prynne was confined In the apart ment since known tin Prynne'a ceiL a large room near the summit of the tower and with a fine outlook ever the channel through the narrow em brasure.
