Hie Willamette a'ley Hop
Growers' Association, whoeemeru-1
bership embraces all the hop
growers in this section of the val
ley, is in its annual session in
Salem this afternoon. The grow
ers report the crop in good condi
tion and the outlook bright, despite
the prevalence of the louse. They
think by spraying when the pest
begins its destructive work on the
berry, when it forms, they can be
able tc save the crop. As yet the
loiue has not done any damage,
but no. doubt it will commence
when the be-ry forms. In the
Bulteville country there is only
half a crop, but the shortage i
not blamable to the louse. M. B.
llcii'lrix was elected president.
J, tierren, secretary; .Ueorge Wil
liams, treasurer; they also elected
vice-presidents for each hop yard
section of the valley counties.
The association decided to take
cablegrams for six moiths, begin
ning July 1, giving the status of
the market. The growers have no
fear of damage by the louse. They
say the lice are decreasing and it
is believed by the time the berry
forms they will all have left the
vines for other fo'iaiie. There are
some genuine lice, but most of the
insects supposed to have been
such are said to brt nothing but
hop gnits, which do no injury to
the crop. A New York buyer
here said the cool nights were the
salvation of the hop crop in Ore
gon. The vines in nearly all he
yards are reported to be making
vigorous growth and the prospect,
for a large crop are good.

NEK V V BICYCLISTS.
They Ride Over Railroad Trestles
With Ease,
Charles Fredricks and J. II.
Hill, a pair of clever local wheel
men, have from time lo time
astonished their friends with ex
traordinary and dilhcult bicycle
riding. A favorite run for these
daring wheelmen is up the North
eastern or the Louisville and Nash
ville Railroad, They stop at noth
ing, and although they b. th ride
large trestles with the coolntss of
tight-rope walkers. The route is
made between the tracks, and
necessarily consists in jumping
over the crcssties which are in a
good many instances, on the
trestles from niue to ten inches
apart.
The Northeastern bridge, which
is in tlie neighborhood of eight
milts long, has lieen crossed by
them already thi3 season, while
on the Louisville and Nashville
road they have crossed the various
trestles as far as Pass Christian.
Mr. Hill stated yesterday that the
bridge at the J igolets was one of
the most difficult they had ever
crossed. The ties are particular

very slippery from oil. New

many thoroughfares are turned
into rivers. In the neighborhood
of Sprottau, in Prussian Silesia,
the hail cut down the grain and
did other damage. At Sanct Rnp

AN EDITORIAL VISITOR.
Frank Moltlt, Editor of the Oak
land, t'al,. Tribune, In Oregon,
Portland, July 2. Frank J
Motht, editor and proprietor of the
F.vening Tribune, Oakland, CaL;
nnd fo:merly state senator irom
Alameda coiintv, is in the cltv.
In an interview he said: "We
are making great anticipations
over the completion of the canal
across the isthmus, and it will
give us much more direct water
communication with the Atlantic
states and Europe.
"The completion of that work
will be a great benefit to the whole
coast, and if your people aid it
they will be doing a good thing for
themselves, as it will be an im
mense advaniage to Oregon."
"In politics, California is an un
certain state. We thought sure
we would elect Pond for go7ernor,
but were surprised to find thai
Mark ham was elected by a large
majority.
"Stanford has failed to come up
to our expectations, and I believe
that Mike De Young will prove a
formidable competitor for tlie
office of United States senator.
Thousrh a republican he is heart
and fouI lor California's interests.
and if we can not have a demo
cratic senator we will be better
pleased with De Young than any
other republican."
"California will make a grand
showing at the Columbian exposi
tion, and it will be due in a great
measure to the energy of Mike De
Young, the' commissioner. A
grand building is to be erected at
Chicago, composed entirely of
California wool and stone, every
known vaiiety being used in the
construction.
"1 think Oregon will make a
great mistake, and neglect a gol
den opportunity if she fails to be
properly represented at that gath
ering. There will be peaple from
ail ever the world, and though
few of them will come out here,
they would see your products if
vou had them on exhibition. ou
have a grand state and should take
pains to make it known if you
want settlers to come here.' .

PHILADELPHIA'S EX-TREAS
URER SENTENCED,
The Prisoner Nearly Broke Down
When the Judge Censored His
Conduct as an Officer.
Philadelphia, July 2. Ex-Citv
Treasurer John Bardsley was sen
tenced this morning by Judge
Wilson to fifteen years' solitary
confinement, and to pay a fine
equal to the sum to which be
pleaded guilty of embezzling.
The district attorney spoke
briefly. In the course of his re
marks he denied Bardsley's con
tention made in his statement: to
tbe court a week ago that tbe ex- .
treasurer bad not misappropriated
a dollar. Graham showed that by
Bteardsley's sworn statement he
mast ixave at least appropriated
$220,000 as that amount was re
quired to be made goad bv bis
sureties. -Although not abfe as
yet to specifically state, where the
money had gone to, Graham said
Bardsley's embezzlement would
amount to between $430,C30 and
$500,000. Alexander, 'counsel for
Bardsley, reviewed tbe statements
made by his client and appealed
to the court for merer on tbe
ground of Bardsley's plea of guilty
aod his past services to tbe
city. Alexander said Bardsley did
not get a dollar of the money be
put into the Keystone bank, and
that within' six monthstit would
be shown who did. -Alexander
vehemently declared his client has
not stolen a dollar, bat that he
had only pleaded guilty to the
statutory offense of loaning, specu
lating with aod receiving tbe in
terest on public funds. Never.
with his consent, said Alexander.
should Bardsley appear before an
investigation committee of the
councils to testify, but if at any
time the district attorney desired
any information or assistance, his
client was willing to aid him.
While his council bad been speak
ing, Bardsley sat with bowed head,
nervously tracing imaginary lines
with tbe back of a pen upon tbe
table before ' him. With the ex
ception of his brother-in-law, not
one ot me hundreds of
friends that Bardsley had were
present when he arose to receive
the sentence of the court. Judge
Wilson's seee words caused
Bardsley the most palpable dis
tress. As the judge said he could
find no palliation for Bardsley's
malieasance, and that his offense
was open' to censure from his
abuse ol his official position, the
prisoner, (.almost collapsed and
seemed about to sink to the floor
from bis cbairl. Nevertheless, be
fore Judge Wileon" had concluded
add ordered ' him to arise to re
ceive sentence, Bardsley had com
pletely regained -his composure,
and received the words that sent
him to prison, for fifteen years
with an utter absence of emotion.
