B , Plummer Says Breweries All Well Stocked With Hops. Are H. B. Plummer arrived home last Thursday from a five months' trip through the Middle and Northern States, ne made the tour as a repre sentative of T. A. Riggs, the well- known hop grower and dealer, and visited Milwaukie, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and many other large cities, calling on the brewing trade at each place, with the Durnose of in ducing them to buy their hops direct from his firm. Mr. Hummer was absent from Dallas from early in August, and visited over 500 breweries. He reports a successful trip. He says he fouml every brewery well stocked with hops, some of them still having part of the 1903 crop on hand. Nearly all are well supplied with 1904's, and a number of brewers have enough of these old hops on hand to last them until spring. He says the reports given out here early in the present year concerning the shortage among the eastern breweries was incorrect, and that as a matter of fact these breweries were never short of hops at any time. He found large stocks of Gorman hops in all the lead ing breweries, the foreign hops being imported in large quantities on ac count of their peculiar flavor and superior strength. Mr. Plummer finds the American brewers well sup plied with Pacific Ctfasts, and is of the opinion that the greater portion of the remainder of the 1905 crop will be sold in the London market. He thinks that, at the present low price, London can afford to buy these hops and hold them over until next year. Notwithstanding the prevailing low prices for hops, Mr. Plummer has no intention of quitting the growing business, and is anxious to see the Oregon farmers continue their present acreage. He argues that while Eng land and Germany are controlling the market at the present time, a shortage in these countries next year would again place the industry in America on a profitable basis. Land is worth more and hops cost more in Europe than in the United States, and there is no reason why the Pacific Coast growers should permit them selves to be forced out of business by the foreigners. Mr. Plummer says the Oregon growers should exercise greater care in placing clean hops on the market than they have in the past. The chief objection among brewers to American hops is that they are full of leaves and stems. One firm informed him that they had found it necessary to pick over an entire lot of Coast hops, at a cost of $3 a bale, before using them. He says the brewers all ex press a willingness to pay good prices for clean hops, and appear anxious to see the American growers prosper in the business. GAME WAS ONE-SIDED Dallas College Basketball Team De feats State Normal School by Score of 42 to 8. The basketball game between the Oregon State Normal School team and Dallas College, last Friday eve ning, resulted in a victory for the Dallas team by a score of 42 to 8. A large crowd was present to cheer the home team to victory, but the game was so one-sided that the rooters soon lost interest. Dallas made 21 points in each half, by far the greater num ber being made from the floor. The Normal boys made 3 points in the first half, and 5 in the last, throwing two goals from the foul line.and three from the floor. The game was lively from start to finish, and good feeling prevailed. The Monmouth boys are a gentlemanly lot of players, and ac cepted their defeat in the right spirit. Dallas has a fast team this year, and, with a little more practice, the boys will be able to give a good account of themselves in the big games of the year. The line-up in Friday night's game was : ' forward Stine " Force center Evenden, Smith guard Butler " Johnson Officials Thorpe, referee; Sibley, umpire; R. Ellis, timekeeper; C. C.
