During the period tax was paid by brewer on 4,807.876 barrel of beer, a decrease ot a vua,i9 vurrets xrura me wrmiAinuiiifi period a year ago. Thl compared with r a decreaee of 88,80! barrels in Janu ary, 198,961 barrel in February, 6U, 869 barrel during March, and 102,296 barrels for the month of April, 1808, compared with the aame period in 1907. For. the first five montha of the year ui ' decrease in v oeer - cuuvuiupLiua reached a total of i 1. 291.497: barrels. , The Urgent decrease- thus far this sea- eon In beer consumption was io March, when - the number of , barrels of ' beer - consumed was showing -a greater ae crease by 6,111 barrels over that shown ' last month. This was due entirely to Climatic conditions. . -; The" great decrease In beer making means that much less demand for hops. Nowadays the average brewer will use one pound of 1 hops to each barrel of beer, thus showing that the brewers used 1,292,497 pounds of hops more in 1907 than they did this year. As there are about 180 pounds of hops to each bale the decrease ' In v consumption 4s somewhat startling. Xop Jrdnrtio Heavy. While the consumption and make of beer has shown a heavy decrease of late, the production of hops Is still un usually heavy t in fact, the prospects now are that there will be twice, as many bales of hops grown this season as will be. needed. There is still an unusually heavy carryover of 1908 and 1907 hops and It is estimated that of the past two years there is a suffioient number of bales remaining unconsumed to tide the brewers over for one year at least. With this great amount of hops available for brewing and with decreased ednsumptlon of beer staring them In the face, it is aulte unlikely that brewers will continue to call for so many bales of hops as they, have in recent seasons. . , ....,-.-, - t 'Instead of diminishing the decrease In beer consumption is increasing each month and with hot weather now on in Chinook Salmon Prospects Good Sneelal Dlsnstrh to Tb.

During the past week the fishing situation- shows signs of improvement, as there has been a good run or biueDacKs. via usner men and cannerymeh agree that a good bluebaclc year meana a -good Chinook year, and the history of canning proves It to be true. As the flood is now rap idly subsiding and warmer weather is near a big run of fish Is expected' in about 19 days or two weeka - Arrangements are again being made to fit up the motor schooner Erie for a deep asa fishing cruise off the bar. She will be equipped In a much better form than when she went out the last time. A new and much larger trawl will be tried this trip. Experiments have proved that this kind of fishing can be made a financial success. SSL rf,t-2t3,!r.th5 !S2Lhrrf;f! New Orlean had7'o; Ajax, 1 -1; tjrooio, o"o. .
