T ie recent sharp rise in the hop

created consideraoble -enthusiasm
among the growers, and considerable
speculntoin is indulged in as to what
the result will be. There is among
many a feeling that the price will yet
go to 40 cents, and the market is
holding its breath, as it were, in ex
pectancy of what will happen next,
the crop is looking fine in this coun
ty, and several returning from other

Training Being Given In Coast De

Guns.
FORT STEVENS, Or., Aug. 9.-
."7," '"inured men, making up prac
ucauy all of the Oregon National
tiuard, are under canvas in three big
camps at Columbia Beach and Fort
Stevens. The troops will remain in
uie iiem ior l() davs for coast defen;
maneuvers and Held instructions.
company H, of Dallas, is here with
ine companies from Eugene; Cottage
Grove, Ashland, Roseburg, Albany,
all of them being under command of
Colonel Georire O. Ynran. of Fnovnn
Not until after dark did the last of

work of establishing camn was car.
ricd well into the night , by many of
hid uue arrivals.
All tne camps will be roused at
:.10 o clock in the morning and after
mess at 6 will get down to camp work.
Guard mounting will take place at
7:30 a. m. and at 8 a. m. the whole
force will take the field for company
una oattauon drills in close order,
winch will occupy the entire day.
Expect Naval Battle.
When the mosquito fleet detach
ment from the Pacific squadron pass
es into the vicinity of the mouth of
the Columbia river, en route to Asto
ria, it will be the signal for full prep
arations at iort Mevens for a simi
mieu aicacK on a Hostile neet bv the
big coast defense guns, manned by
Oregon .National Guardsmen. Vigil is
being kept up day and night for the
litlle craft, which are expected hourly.
The entire Fourth Oregon Infantry
has been thrown into the coast forhh
cations and the various companies' of
that command are manning the bat
teries of ten-inch guns. Officers and
men are displaying unusual adapt.'t
bility in the artillery work. -Coast
Defense Practice.
Just how to sink a hostile vessel
while it is 12,000 yards away and
barely visible, is the phase of modern
warfare in which the guardsmen are
being thoroughly instructed..
Attached to each company is a do-
tail of two non-commissioned officers
from the regular army, but the regu
lar army gunners and gun crews re
main in barracks. This is a decided
departure from the program of four
years, ago, when the guardsmen mere
ly acted in support of the regulars.
The test is intended to decide just
what efficiency may be developed on
short notice by soldiers who have had
no training in coast artillery operations.
Not only will the guardsmen at
Fort Stevens be given a week of prac
tical instruction m handling the huge
guns that defend the mouth of the
Columbia, but at the conclusion of the
course they are to try their hand at
gunnery.
Next Monday the snb-caliber pro
jectiles are to be directed at moving
targets near tne jeny, wnu u.e in
fantrvmen directing the fire.
