It oxu-no from Buena Vtata oa th juia and Amity on tb north, and Is comprised of about thlrty flv yards, Including all of the largest ooas la tula vicinity. Th main object of the vlalt was for tb purpoa of making aa near aa possible an accurate estimate of tb 1909 crop which Mr. Young places at not over 69 per cent of tbat of last yvar. In apeaklng of the condition of the crop be stated: "There la no little anxiety now about the growing crop which, owing to the cold .backward weather, la not making the progresa It ahould and It Is getting to be a critical time when unfavorable weather will have its ef fects ou crop proBpects. Warm, aun ny daya are very much needed, and It baa been wet and cold for the past Week or two." Mr. Young estimates the growing crop In the entire state at not over 40,000 bales and be gives It as bla opinion that It may be as much aa 6000 bales less than that, notwlth atandlng the fact that the New York Bulletin estimates It at 46.000 bales. It has been stated that the yield last year waa 35,000 bales, and those who are In a position to Judge pretty ac curately insist that there will be less rather than more on account of the decrease In acreage. ' According to information received eastern brewers are becoming aware of the fact that the bop crop this year is not up to' the average and tbat prices must necessarily be high. Thus the rush of 15 cent offers. As a fair sample of the present, price of hops, Julius Pincus of Tacoma re cently purchased from Kola Nels 100 bales of 1908 crop for 11 cents, the same hops being purchased not long ago for 7tt cents. Eastern brewers are not well stocked and prices will be: good, , ... , :, - 7t ? Several offers of 15 cents for 1909 hops have been made but there were no sellers at that price so far heard from. The , time limit of the much talked about option at 20 cents ex pired last week and lt has been given out by W. L. Terhune, representing the buyers, that several of them ma terialized into contracts. Outside of these contracts no advanced sales have been announced. According to the Dally Statesman of Salem, the only two lots of 1908 hops left In growers' hands were sold last week. One of thirty-nine bales, grown by Hewitt and Terry, and the other by R. M. Oshre. The price of sale was withheld from the public. The lot of ninety-three bales belong ing to Frank Cody of Vernon Center has been disposed of at 15 cents. r , New Grand Officers At the crand loda:e mating of the Pythian Sisters h-ltl at Pendleton last week the following off.cers for tne grand temple were elected: Inez R.
