Belt Cberr1n-toi usuiu HOP PRICES SOAR HIGH Principal Feature is Buying for Ex port Although No Samples Are Yet In Europe. (Salem Statesman.) There will be something doing in the near future, although the market has not shown much activity of late. This is no doubt due to the fact that the growers have "taken a tumble" to the real condition of affairs and are in no hurry to get rid of their hold ings, especially while the outlook for better prices is so brilliant and such an apparent shortage in the world's supply exists. This latter condition with possibly few exceptions.is frankly admitted by the dealers of Salem, and especially those who have kept them selves posted upon the situation. scarcely a month ago, or about a week before the harvest, the consensus of opinion among hop dealers although many set their figures con siderably higher, was that the state yield would not fall short of 85,000 to 90,000 bales. Some dealers were certain that the yield would not be less than 100,000 bales, and others considerably more. ine harvest, however, produced a revelation to all of them, even the most conservative, for while the hops seemed to be plentiful enough upon the vines, they turned out to be light and failed to come up to the weight that was expected of them. The result is that the yield will not exceed 75,000 bales, and probably not much more than 70,000. Quite a difference be tween these figures and the earlier estimates. It does not take much of a grower, in point of intelligence, to per ceive very readily what effect this state of things is bound to have on the market, especially since the English yield will fall 150,000 cwt. below the average, or that of last year. And England depends, to a great extent upon Oregon for her supply of hops. l no total American crop, according to the latest figures will reach in the neighborhood, not more, of 230,000 bales. The American consumption is estimated at. not less than 210.000 bales, -leaving a surplus of about 20,000 bales in America. The estimated old stock on hand is about 25,000 bales, making a total of 45,000 bales in America, available for export. The English crop this year will not exceed 250,000 cwt. and the consumption will reach 700,000 cwt,, leaving a deficiency Mrs. A. Allen, of The Dalles, is visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hardy Holman. Miss Pearl Walker has returned from Lebanon, where she visited friends. , Miss Rosa Smith, of Monmouth, is Tisiting at the home of her brother, County Clerk E. M. Smith. Mrs. D. M. Metzger and son, Chester Gates, of Dallas, were the guests of Rev. and Mrs. Joseph Hoberg the first of the week. McMinnville Reporter. Lott Brown, a former Dallas boy, has changed his residence from Sumpter to Baker City, and is em ployed as a stenographer in the law office of Butcher & Correll, at a good salary. PRIMARY ELECTION LAW Denounced by Junction CItv Editor as a Populistic Sham and Disgrace. It now appears that the new primary law, if enforced, will disfranchise nearly ninety-five per cent of the voters of Portland and other in corporated cities throughout the state containing upward of 2,000 population. The law may be remedied to a certain extent, but at a cost of several thousand dollars. The law provides that regis tration of voters shall designate their party affiliations, and as the law under which registration was made did not provide for the party attach ment, and further, the new registration Robert Gaynor writes from Heppner law which is now in force, only pro- that his health is greatly improved, and that he has gained 14 pounds in weight since leaving home a few weeks ago. He hopes that the climate of Eastern Oregon will soon restore him to perfect health. On September 2G, 1904, there were advertised letters in the Dallas post office for Miss Mary Stock, A. H. Adams, Robbert Bochman, W. N. Burdick, W. G. Hines, W. H. Hendel and Henry Link. C. G. Coad, Post master. Several flocks of young English partridges, descendants of the speci mens brought into this country three or four years ago. have been seen near Independence this season. A large number of birds were brought from England, but most of them died before reaching here or soon after, and only nine pairs were secured by Independence sportsmen. These were turned out south of Independence, where several farmers gave them pro tection and feed. If they are protected from the hunters, in the course of a few years they will be cmite olenti- f ul. The birds cost $6 apiece. OREGON GOATS FOR ST. LOUIS Carload of Angoras from Polk County Will Be Exhibited at Big Fair. or shortage of 450,000 cwt,, or about 250,000 American bales. The Conti nental surplus is given at 75,000 bales available for export. These figures will leave a shortage of 130,000 bales in the world's supply for 1901. England has always been a heavy importer from the United States and especially Oregon, which produces the uest article for her needs, and it is quite certain that she will call upon this state for a inuoh greater quantity man ever before. She is an exceed ingly good customer, and, since she is compelled to have the goods she will no doubt pay the price necessary to get them. There is considerable in quiry for hops and plenty of offers in ti, i i. ii i . me annus or me dealers, Dut, owing to tne strong condition of the market, very few, if any, sales are being made, An occasionally small lot of eood to prime quality is let go, but these are so few that they will have no appreci able effect upon the market. Better than 2G cent3 has been paid, and there are those who would not be surprised if the price mounted as high as 40 cents before the season is over. Cupid is getting busy. County Clerk E. M. Smith issued license to wed this week to Peter A. Kliever and Katharina Braun, C. W. Stewart and Jessie Wilson, Edward A, Tedrow and Mahnda Smith, John H. Dunlop and Florence McRae, H.M. Reece and Irene Hayden, F. D. Lewallen and Dot S. Atkinson. A fine Angora buck was shipped through Albany Wednesday after noon, from Dallas, the home of An gora goats, to Merlin. The animal was billed to W. W. Wilson, and will be placed in that gentleman's flock. It was one of the pure bred Angoras from one of the best breeders in Polk county, and the animal was a valu able one. Albany Herald. The goat was shipped, by U. S. Grant, of this city, and was one of his choice animals, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Crystal, of Vacaville, California, visited friends in Dallas, Tuesday. They had just returned from a six weeKs tour of the Eastern States, and were on their way to their home in California. While East they visited New York, Niagara Falls, Chicago and Washington, and also spent a few days at the St Louis Fair. They returned home by way of Michigan and visited Mr. Crystal's mother, who has been living at the home of her sister in that state for the last two years. Mr. Crystal's parents were pioneer residents of Dallas, and the family was well and favorably known throughout Polk county. After the death of the elder Mr. Crystal, the family moved to Vacaville, California, where Edward and his brother, George, engaged in the mercantile business. They prospered from the beginning, and now have one of the largest stores in their home city. Mr. C. J. Fulton, of Helena, Mon tana, arrived in Oregon, September 12, for the purpose of working up a display of Oregon Angora Goats for the World's Fair at St. Louis. He arrived just in the nick of time as the breeders of this state had all given up sending goat3 to St, Louis, except Craig Bros., and Wm. Riddell, each of whom expected to send three or four by express, As September 20 was as late as it would be safe to ship a car by freight, Mr. Fulton did some lively work. Craig Bros, preferred to take no chances on shipping by freight and their goats will go forward by ex press. U. S. Grant, who intended some time ago to send an exhibit has sold all the goats that he intended to show, and did not care to risk ship ping those which he is not willing to sell. At Monmouth, however, Mr. Fulton succeeded in making up a car from the flocks of J. B. Stump, Harris & Riddell Bros., and William Riddell, and the car started September 20 in charge of the iwo Riddell Bros. Mr. Fulton deserves the thanks of Oregon for securing this liberal representation of Oregon goats at the St. Louis show as there would not have been to ex ceed ten Angoras from this state in the greatest Angora show ever held in this country, which would have been a most inadequate representation of the state which probably leads all others in the importance of its Angora industry. Angora breeders from other states will also be gratified in seeing this liberal display of Oregon goats. The only thing to be regretted is that there will not be more Oregon breeders rep resented, but that is the fault of the breeders and it must be generally ad mitted that the flocks represented are good representative types of Oregon Angoras. vldes for those who failed to register last spring, . xnis new primary law, so it was represented, was passed upon by Bome of the great legal lights of the state and pronounced absolutely flawless. It appears now that the law will have either to be ignored or violated, or disfranchise nearly the entire voting population of cities of the higher class. The whole law is a populistic sham and a disgrace to an enlightened state. The adoption of this code of jumbles was vigorously opposed by this paper but the best way to bring about the repeal of an obnoxious law is to en force it, and as we are a law abiding citizen we are in favor of the enforce ment of the law to the very letter, The papers throughout the state who were neutral on the subject of the adoption or rejection of this measure, and who were really afraid to utter their honest sentiment, can have their inning. We have had ours. Junction City Times. . uniiea otates senator Fulton ex presses the opinion that Oregon's direct primary law is unconstitutional mat provision wnich requires voters to announce their political faith alone is sufficient to render the law unconstitutional," declared Sena tor Fulton. "The Constitution of Ore gon provides the qualifications of the voter, and the State Legislature can not add to nor take fromjthe qualifica tions stipulated by the Constitution, nor impose any additional condition to the right to voto. "Perhaps, in other respects also, the direct primary law is at variance with il y-i . . . , ... me constitution, but in requiring voters to register their political faith it is certainly unconstitutional. I re gard it as a most unfortunate measuro, and am satisfied I could beat it in the Supreme Court." HEAD QUARTERS FOR . . .
