ARE HOPS TO BE CORNERED
Growers and Dealers in Oregon Are
Now Asking That Question.
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

DALLAS, OR., Oct. 1 (To the Ed
itor) Quarterly inspection of Co.
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.

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,

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.

IG APPLE CROP IS MOVING
Oregon Growers Will Realize 'air
Prices for Year's Pack.
The movement of the apple crop of
the Northwest is now on ln earnest.
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. Telegram.

HOW CAME DEMOCRATS TO BE

DO RIGHT THING AT LAST
California Authorities Rdc-nt and
Commit Williams to Asylum.
W. H. Williams, who for several
months has been sending threatening
letters to Governor Benson and riena
tor Chamberlain of Oregon, ha. been
committed to the insane asylum at
Stockton, California. Williams, it
BaM has been to Washington to !ay
his fancied grievances .before Presi
dent Taft, and was on his way back to
Oregon with the purpose. It was alleg
ed at his hearing, of killing Governor
Benson when arrested and brougl
here.
When Williams learned the result of
the hearing today, he shouted: "May
the curse, of God be on Oregon and
Its people."
The fact that the California author
itles at first refused to commit Will
lams to an asylum In that state and
that It wa. necessary to send Dr. Tarn
lesie south from Salem for the pur
nose of bringing him back here, cau.-
ed considerable excitement In Salem,

line.
Dr. Stelner wa. Incensed at the at
titude of California authorities In re
fusing to commit William., staling
that the rule of comity of state, should
operate and he declared emphatically
that California patient. In the Oregon
asylum would be turned loose In Call

Why Portland Grows Fast.
(From The Weston Leader.)
Portland grows con.t.ntly In pop
ulation, while a good .hare of the reet
of the .tate I. at a standstill. One rea
son Is that nearly every Oregonian who
has "made his pile" feels impelled to
take his family to Portland to live.
Hundred, of homes have been bought
and built In the metropolis by Just
such men. leaving eaMern Oregon, for
Instance, with a lot of non-resident
landlords who get their revenue from
here and spend It there. It's all right;
If. their bleaaed privilege to do what
they will with then- own. Tet they
should reflect that here they were men
of some consequence, while among
the horde, of the metropolis each be
comes an Inconsequential unit, bowed
to only when he pays hi. bills.
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.

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. In carload lots. Their
superiority Is conceded In all quarters.
The shipments received here are ex
ceptional in quality. For the most part
they were quantities left over at ship
ping points after carload lots had been
made up for consignment to the dis
tant markets.
Pears grading as common to fair on
the street today were quoted at $1 to
$1.75 a box, and the supply, even of
the ordinary grades, wa. scanty. Of
Bartletts there Is nothing left beyond
storage stock, and this Is rapidly work
