Is Louis Laehmund trying to corner the 1910 crop of Oregon hops? The local trade is asking that ques tion, for it has just developed that the big New York operator has recently taken about 1500 bales of hops in this state. The goods taken were choice and are believed to be for export. Not only has Mr. Laehmund been credited by local dealers with the pur chase of 1500 bales' of hops during the week, but his representatives are said to be offering money for the remaining lots in the state. Together with Mr. Lachmund's pur chases the trading in hops in Oregon this week Is said to have aggregated 4000 bales. Most of the purchases were made under cover and seldom has the price been made public. Nearly all the big operators are said to have been in the hop market dur ing the week. William Brown & Co. of Salem, have taken the Fennell lot of 260 bales at Independence at 13c a pound, besides several other lots that cannot be confirmed. George Lively ..hv 200 hales at Woodburn, but the price could not be confirmed. Catlin Linn were purchasers of around 200 bales 1n the vicinity of Salem at 13c a nound. McNeff Brothers were heavy purchasers during the early part of he week in Marion and Washington counties and Isaac Plncus & Sons of Tacoma, and Klaber, Wolf & Netter Companyof this city purchased a num- her of lots during the six aays. So far as known none of the dealers were above 13 a pound the past weeii, Portland Journal.

H, 4th Infantry, Oregon National Guard, was held in the Armory ln this City last Thursday evening. Captain L. A. Bollman, assisted by Lieutenants Stafrin and Tooze, conducted the in spection. There was a good attend ance, and the soldier boys showed up well. This was the first meeting of the Company since the recent encamp ment at Cosgrove, Washington. After the inspection, a short and snappy drill was held, and the boys conducted themselves like veterans. Because of his large increase in business in the professional line, Cap tain Bollman resigned as Captain of the Company, feeling that he could not do complete justice to both the Com pany and his practice, and, of course, his practice was the first thing to be considered. The members of the Com pany sincerely regretted this resigna tion, but fully appreciated the motive thereof. Working under obstacles of the worst kind, and without the co-operation of the citizens of Dallas, Cap tain Bollman has, during the past two years, built up a Military Organiza tion here that is a credit to the town. He has, by diligent effort and attention to his command, placed this company in a position where now it can forge ahead and make a complete success of Itself. Should this Company ever be come one of the best in. the State, the whole credit can well be laid at the door of this pioneer work on the part of Captain Bollman. During the two years he has commanded this Com pany, Captain Bollman has at all times had the welfare of the members of the company at heart, has been a good fel- ow with his men, and consequently, the whole company as a man respect ed him. However, Captain Bollman will not leave the Guard, but will probably soon be appointed on the Surgical Staff of the Guard. But this resignation necessitated the election of another Captain. Butallion Oflii-er Here. Major Creed Hammond, of Eugene, Commander of the 1st Batallion of the 4th Infantry, was ordered here to hold this election for Captain. Therefore, after drill was over, a short business session of the Company was held. Be fore proceeding with the election, Ma or Hammond made a few remarks to the men assembled concerning their work. He complimented them highly upon the showing they had made, and upon the attendance at the Inspec tion. His remarks were well received and each and every member of the Company learned something from them. Upon concluding he was loudly applauded. Major Hammond has Bpent eighten years ln the regular army and National Guard, and is probably one of the best Informed officers ln the Guard. He Is a favorite with all officers as well as men of the Guard. After concluding his remarks, Major Ham mond called for nominations for the office of Captain. Quartermaster Ser geant H. H. Farnham was recognized by the chairman, and in a brief talk placed In nomination for the office of Captain, 2nd Lieut Walter L. xooze, Jr. Musician Roy Finseth seconaea this nomination. There being no other nominations. Private H. Critchlow moved that the nominations be closed and the Secretary Instructed to cast the unanimous ballot of the Company for Mr. Tooze as Captain of the Com pany. 1st Sergeant P. S. Greenwood seconded this nomination. The motion was put and carried unanimously; and the Secretary cast the ballot of the Company for Mr. Tooze. Major Ham mond then declared Mr. Tooze elected ti Captain of the Company. Upon being called upon for a speech Mr. Tooze in a few remarks outlined the manner in which he would run the Company; he expressed himself In favor of a Military Club; gave notice that he would Insist upon a closer at t.ntlrai to the details of drill work and upon a more conscientious attend ance at drills; and notified the men that all vacancies ln office would be filled by competitive drills and examl nations. The men expect a good ad ministration of Company affair, from the new Captain elect Mr. Tooze ha had considerable experience In a mil Itary way, having spent five year. In a Military school where he held all po sitions from a private in the awkward squad to Captain Adjutant of the regl ment and also eight year. In the Ore gon National Guard. Thank Retiring Captain. Mr. Tooze then took cnarge oi in was then mad m., and ready to marcn to me snai ing rink. The citizens of Dallas are most cordially Invited to come out and witness this drill; in fact, the company desires that the people of Dallas come out and see all of their drills. This mi litia is not a private concern or or ganization; it is wholly public; It Is a part of the State; it Is always open to the inspection of the general public. The citizens of Dallas have not shown much interest In the company here tofore. This company Is a fine thing for this city, and the people here should show somo interest In it. If the citizens of Dallas will show interest ln the company, it will tend to make the men. of the organization have more in terest in the work. If the public at large will attend these drills, their presence there will' tend to encourage the men. It will put 'new life Into them; It will show them that they have something to work for; it will make them take a pride in the work they are doing. In case of war or in surrection, you would be glad to' take an interest in them; why not do It ln time of peace? They are here as a pro tection to you; ln case of need, they at at the disposal of the public; they are public servants, without pay or any other reward, except what they may learn about military affairs. They give up an hour or so each week to learn these things. There is no dif ference between them and you, except that they are preparing themselves, and you are not. They are fulfilling a duty that they owe to the Nation; one that every able bodied man owes. The militia is the backbone of the army. In case of war as was shown in the Spanish-American war the mem bers of the militia are the ones that are called upon to deliver the goods. These are self evident facts. Now why don't the people of this city get out and show an Interest ln this company? Why- can't they get behind their or ganization and boost? IsMt right that you do not? Think this over, citizens of Dallas. You are all invited to visit us at the skating rink Thursday even ing. ONE WHO IS INTERESTED. snow i . m,lon ,hlet and telephone directories.

Says Oregon's Senior Senator Wants Anything Elso Than United Republican Party. OUR MARKET LETTER Receipts and Sales at Portland Union Stock Yards. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 1 Receipts at the Portland Union Stock yards for the week ending today have been as follows: Cattle, 2939; hogs, 3061; sheep 5260; horses and mules, 178; goats, 292. Seasonable upheavals have occurred during the past week in the cattle and swine trade. The t?attle supply contln ued enormous, while the market on good steers remains firm at 15.50, the bulk of the run comprised only rair to medium beeves. Butcher cattle sold well from the start; cows and heifers were in good demand and the market on cow stuff was very steady. Good bulls made a new top of $4.00, and although calves realized 88.00 In one instance, the market dropped back to $7.00, a firm basis. The hog market was very erratic and unsatisfactory, with a general downward trend. Early transactions on Monday were made at $10.75, but the market showed signs of breaking later and by Wednesday had dropped to $10.50. Sales Friday and Saturday showed a weakness and the market closed 25 to 50c lower than a week ago. Receipts have been liberal both from Nebraska and Northwestern points. The sheep movement this ween nas been enormous, as Is usual at inis time of the year, but the total receipts for the month closed Just fair, out numbering those of the correspond Ing month of last year. Choice year limit realized $4.25 and the other grades brought fair prices, consider ing the supply. The demand for lamns was not strong and the market was shaded 10 to 16c on the best offerings. Representative sale, have been as follows: Steers, $5 to B.6u; neiters, tl 75- nnws. 14. 2S to $4.60: calves, $5.60 to $7; hogs, $10.20 to $10.60 wethers, $4.60; lambB, $5 to $5.05, BLOW ON HEAD KILLS LOGGER lien ItolT moots IiiHtant Death at Simpson Brother' Camp.

(E. II. Flagg in Oregonian.) I am a believer ln the direct pri mary and Statement jNo. l. i inin those who read my little country pa per have no doubt as to this. But I have never been a personal follower of, or voted for, either George Cham berlain or Jonathan Bourne. I have read carefully Mr. Bourne's ukase In Friday evening's Journal, and to one who has been to a certain extent be hind the scenes It Is merely a renewal of the effort to perpetuate strife In Republican ranks ln order to make more effective the combination be tween our United States Senators. Mr. Bourne', advice to Republicans to vote against the nominees or tne direct primary who favored the as sembly plan Is, of course, aimed par ticularly against Jay Bowerman, and yet It Is a fact that the personal fol- owers of Jonathan Bourne, Including Postmaster Merrick, favored the noml nation of Mr. Bowerman (believing It would result In the election of Cham berlain's personal friend Oswald West), and by their course in encour aging the candidacy of'E. Hofer, de feated Dimick and nominated Bower man. Upon the invitation of Mr. Hofer I attended, during the primary cam paign, a meeting held in Mr. Mer rick's private office In the postofflce building, at which were present Mr, U'Ren, Mr. Hofer, Mr. Orton, Mr. Mer rick, Mr. Abbott, the business part ner of Mr. Dunlway, and one or two others. I objected to Mr. Hofer, as did Mr. Abbott, and urged that the oppo nents of the assembly concentrate their vote, upon Mr. Dlmlck, which, aB the result shows, -would have secured his nomination. But Mr. Merrick would not consent, and I have It from personal friends of Mr. Chamberlain who were not present at this confer ence that the game was to nominate and defeat Bowerman, so that the po- litlcal game of battledore and Bhuttle- cock might be continued. Mr. Bourne does not wish the ques tions at issue settled. He recognizes fully that a united Republican party will never re-nominate him, and that his only chance for success lies ln a combination of Chamberlain and Bourne beneficiaries, aided by a large number of conscientious Republicans who stand for Statement No. 1 and the direct primary law, and to whom Mr, Bourne Is only an Incident. He is tne flotsam of a great political revolution and as long as he can ride Its waves he has no desire for calm. Had Mr. Bowerman appealed direct ly to the people at the primaries there la no doubt he would have received more votes by very many than he did There was no objection to him per sonally. He Is a young man who has earned by hard work and good service all the honors that have been bestowed upon him, and he Is the nominee of the Republican primary, a. fully enti tled to receive the loyal support of every participant in the primary eleo tion as Is Mr. Kay, Mr. Crawford or any other anti-assembly nominee. It Is time to get together and disregard the advice of those who are attempting to prostitute a great principle for their own personal political advantage While we are smashing machine., let's take a crack at the Bourne-Chamber lain personal machine.

Carload, and even tralnload shipments of the fruit are being gent out of all the apple-growing districts of the throe states, to near and distant mar kets, and the outlook for the success ful disposition of the crop la on the whole favorable. It Is not expected that the prices re ceived for the fruit will average up to the level obtained In soma Instances past seasons, but there is little doubt that the returns to the growers generally will be satisfactory, espec ially in the case of fancy fruit. . For the best the demand In this and other countries Is strong and steadily grow ing, and the growers In this part of the country now have better market facilities than they ever had ln the past The organization recently of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange, which Includes In Its membership most of the fruit growers' associations of the Northwest, and whose purpose Is the distribution on the best possible basis of the products of those associations, has already done much toward bring ing the apple producers of the North west into touch with the distant mar kets of the East and South, and where the Exchange opens up new markets for the fruit of this part of the country it bids fair to hold them. In the few weeks since the business of the Exchange started, a total of not far from 250 carloads of Northwestern apples and other fruits has been dis posed of, for the mort part at points East of the Rocky Mountains and ln many instances in Gulf and Atlantic Coast markets. The prices realized all cases were the top, and ln all cases the sales were made at definite prices, f. o. b. at shipping points, the the results being far more satisfactory than has heretofore been the case at Eastern auction sales. The apple crop in the Northwest this year Is big and of fine quality as compared with the showing In other parts of the country. Statistics com plied by the Department of Agrlcul ture gave Oregon the first of the month a showing of 93 per cent of a full crop. Washington at the same time was credited with 90 per cent of full crop. For the time the Exchange reports the apple market as easy, but values are fairly well maintained. A fair olume of trade Is under way and ne gotiations are In progress for the sale of a number of large lots of apples in Eastern markets. Among the latest sales was that of a, car of extra fancy Jonathans at $1.60 to $1.85 f. o. b, shipping point, These apples were grown at Cashmere, Wash., and are to go to Boston, Mass. The Exchange, among other deals. Is negotiating for the sale of 10 cars of fancy Ganos and Ben Davis at $1.25, an Eastern firm being the prospective buyer. In the local market there Js now an abundance of all the seasonable sorts, including Kings, Spltzenbergs, Bailey Sweets, Greenings, Gravenstelns, Grimes Goldens, Waxens and others, and In a general way they are going at $1 to $1.50 a box, according to qual ity.

Observer Would Suggest That Perhaps Mental Telepathy Took Place of Assembly. , . GUM LOG PRECINCT, October 3 (To the Editor.) I have been think ing about how to vote, and I am com pletely flabbergasted. I will give you view of my mental processes and perhaps you can help me out. I started out opposed to the assem bly opposed to everything that look ed like a gathering of men to talk over candidates; so, of course, I was against the Republican assembly tick et. I was obliged In fairness, however, to concede that, after all, the work . of the assembly was submitted to the Republicans at the primary for ap proval or rejection. Some candidates were approved; some rejected, and the ticket nominat ed looked to me quite a little like a ticket selected by the Republicans at regular direct primary election. Still, became Inclined to support the Dem ocratic ticket- In my enthusiasm, I regarded the choice of the Democrats at their pri mary as the embodiment of the polit ical doctrine, "Vox Populi, Vox Dei." (The voice of the people Is the voice of Ood.) In the fervor of my new-found faith, I could view the Democrats ln their voting booths at the primary election. All over the state, It oc curred" to the earnest voter that "the best man for Secretary of State la Turner G. Oliver; the man for Con gress in this district, R. G. Smith." And so on down the line. No confer ence; no assembly; no secret caucus; Just the spontaneous expression of the people in the untrammeled exercise of their sovereignty. There could be no conference; no assembly, secret or open, because Democrats are opposed to such. I rejoiced and was glad. The people rule, and all Is well. In my Innocence, I met a neighbor. I thought him my friend. I told him of my purposes. Ah, the awfulness of that wicked man! He said: "Neigh bor, do you suppose that it Just hap pened that the Democratic voters se lected their ticket In the manner you suggest; that no word was passed along the line; that no secret caucus was held and the candidates suggested?" These words threw me Into the Slough of Despond. Like Doubter, when he met Pilgrim, he put unrest in my soul. Mr. Editor; do help me out In my doubt and despair, I am beginning to think the Democrats are trying to down an open assembly and substi tute a star chamber caucus. FARMER. EARS BRING GOOD PRICE Cornice and d'AnJou Varieties Sell for $3 a Box In Portland. Fruit dealer, reported a fair move ment ln all lines at the opening to day, and with few exceptions prices held at last week's closing level. Among the features of special interest were the arrival over Sunday of limit ed consignments of Cornice ana d'AnJou pears, from Hood river and other points, which were put on the market at $2 a box. These are two of the varieties that have made Oregon famous for the production of pears. Fancy offerings of both have frequently ln recent years sold at $4 to $6 a box In the New York market.
