. but dealers are not rushing to troy sim
ply because there Is no market for po
tatoes. The lower the Oregon market
goes the lower will be the depression
In California prices.' There n.vr w
a time In the history of the California
potato trade when auch heavy supplies
-were being offered at Btockton as at
this time. .
Oregon potatoes show but little
movement for the present season be
cause of the enormous eupplisa In Cali
fornia and Colorado. It la stated that
but one section the Clackamas die
trlct haa ahlpped even a fair fraction
of Ita production of the past season.
Clackamaa potatoea are quit well
cleaned up for toe better grade. Moat
of the stocks grown there are of the
early varieties and therefore find a
ready demand at the start of the aon
at good prices for shipment to Alaska.
The crop of the Willamette valley haa
scarcely been touched this season. On
the west side practically no shipments
have been made to the outside, and on
the east side but a small traction of the
- production has been sold. It- Is stated
that In the Washougal. Washington.
.district there are fully 100 cars of po
tatoes remaining unsold at this lime.
.In Multnomeh county not even one
' fourth of the season's yield has passoa
out of the hands of the grower, and it
'looks at this tlmi as If only a few more
cars will be sold during the remainder
-Of the season.
Eastern Outlet Only ope.
a. tntvt In The Journal about
a month ago, the only hopo for moving
the bulk of the Oregon crop la for the
railroads to glvo t'.ie state a low rate
.for freight to the middle west and the
southwest, -i a rate of 60o could be
obtained (and growers here would be
willing to let go at still lower figure)
It la believed that large shlpmenta can
be.. rued This. Is the opinion, of the
dearer. Otherwise thev say there wttl
;be no demand to speak of the rest of
the season.
Onion Market Is Lower.
A drop of 10c per hundred pounds is
Shown In the local onion market be
cause of the lower figures being quoted
In the southern values. In this city
dealers are offering producers from
$2 40 to $2 60 per hundred pounds, but
even at the lower range none of the
dealers seem In a hurry to purchase
supplies.

RECENT COLD SNAP
GOOD FOR THE FRUIT
(Spectut Dispatch to The Journal.)
Rock Creek, Or., Feb. 10. Wheat
ranchers and stock growers In the John
Day and Rock Creek districts report
that both crops and flocks passed
through the recent term of cold weather
In good shape. Practically no damage
to the wheat is reported. The largest
percentage of the seeding was done just
before the cold spell and the ground was
In such condition in the- fields of grow
ing fall wheat that the frees did very
little, if any, damage.
Flockmasters were kept busy at the
feeding racks for about 10 days. Grass
on th range was plentiful, but the
freezing nights left the range In such
shape that stock would not grass until
toward noon, which caused the sheep
men in particular to keen their flocks
under .full feed.
There la such an abundance of foel
In this section, however, that the alfalfa
stacks are not disappearing fast enough
to cause any serious alarm.
Weather conditions at present are such
aa to promise the safe gathering of a
large crop of lambs and a very large
wheat crop. Fruit men report that the
cold spell was made to order for their
business, for had the warm weather
continued It would ' have started th
buds, leaving the orchards at th mercy
of the March and April frosts.
Society Night Tonight.
Good music, good Skates and a sood
time for all at th Oaks rink always.
Friday night, February 14, a leap year
valentine party. A surprise to all. We
teach you free of charce afternoon or

HOP BOOSTER
LOSES FAITH

Paul Horst Cannot See Sil
ver Lining to Clouds Now
Surrounding: Market.
"I wouldn't contract a alnela bala of
the coming year's hop crop because I
would be eshamed to offer th grower
as low a figure as I think th market
win reacn.
Thla Is the onlnlnn of Paul R. a,
Horst, the biggest of the big bulla In the
hop market and on whose account the
rlc advanced quite materially In
107. thus addlns- considerable wsalth
to the coffers of the growers who took
advantage of the boosting process and
sold wtille they had a chance.
Paul R. a. worst la a bull pure ana
simple. He says he was born to bull
hops. This seems to make hla predic
tions for the coming crop all the. more
remarkable, ror ir mere ia anytniax
Mr. Horat likes to do It la to boost and
to boost la to belong to th Paul Horat
eluh.
"Too many balea of bona are being
raised," says tnia veteran or me nop
market. "I think that the growers
should cut down fully half their acre
age. 1 believe tney snouia not cultivate
any or their hope thla year Because 11
they apend 2' cents In cultivation they
will add another 6 cent to It for pick
ing later In the hope of getting their
1 centa back, to me it looaa nae a los
ing game for the coming crop the only
hope being that the crop In England will
prove an entire ranure, ana mis is
hardly a possibility.
Consignment Hart Trade.
'The situation la even worse than
most people believe possible. Ws have
been offering ltOCs to English brewers
st 1H cents a pound but you cannot
give them away because 1107s are al
most as cheap. As long aa growers
here wtlP consign their hops to England
they cannot expect the English brewer
to pay them a big price for everyone
wanta to buy aa cheaply aa poastble.
Paul Horst la the operator who paid
as high as 10 rents a pound for hops In
1908 these being the same hops he is
now offering frantically to the brewing
trade at 1H centa. It is stated that
Mr. Horst and his associates have fully
10,000 bales of these old hops for sale.
According to Information, about half of
theae hops are owned by English brew
ers who at present nave no uae for them
and they will not pass into consumption
for fully another year. Thla Is what
causes the noted bull leader and the
maker of high top prices to look gloomy.
All Contracting' Stops.
There Is- not a sufficient amount of
excitement In the hop market to keep
Paul Weidner Interested, for the grower
dealer will soon leave for a trip to see
a real bull fight In Mexico.
"While I waa at Detroit. Micnigan, 1
telegraphed my aon Oscar, of O. M.
Weidner A Co.. to purchase 1,000 bales
of the coming crop's contracts. Several
days later I rushed another measajre
through telling him to stop contracting
as the prohibition movement had gained
auch proportions that I hardly knew
where I stood. As far as 1907 hops
are concerned there is nothing doing, as
brewers already have more nops man
h.v nnrl. Thev are constantly being
offered hops at any old figures by those
wno securea cunnuiui nciw.
Mr. Weidner Is the owner of about
inn iii nf hors at North Yamhill and
will probably visit there for several
days before venturing Into Mexico.
"tk.m ara no bulls In hops now." says
Mr. Weidner, "so I am going to Mexico
to see a real one.
