ORHXJON, smiATh,;: is DEALERS AND GROWERS FEEL CONFIDENT. Damand Ha Fallen Off nd Market I Practically at Standstill With Three-Fourth of Hopi In Handa of Dealer. Tho lull in the hop market during tho past tu day has had little ef fect on the holder among the grow er of Independence. That it is the calm before the storm la conceded and what the storm will be Is the anxious conjecture of everyone.

With Germany almost 200,000 hundred weight short, with the poorest crop tiiat country has experienced in a century, why should holders be threat ened with nervous prostration? There was a sale or two here the lust week, but nothing of any conse Quence. These sales will be intended only to strengthen the market for those who will hold "for thirty cents or better. A nervous holder is better out of the game. Little can be expected of the mar ket until the actual buyers come into the field. They have an object this year in being tardy on the grounds, but that they will have to buy the hops at any price is evident since there is no surplus to speak of. Eng land likes an old hop, that is known, ana with the consumption of the small amount now on hand she will have to come after the new crop. The conditions are about the same over the United States as they are In Independence. About the same amount of hops are remaining in the hands of the growers. Very few choice are changing hands anywhere and only those who haven't the nerve to hold are selling at any price. That there is a meaning to the lull will certainly develop soon and that the market will break with an upward tendency there is every reason to be lieve. One thing is certain, the deal ers and the growers are in the same box. The dealers are loaded to the guards but that they will play fair with the growers is a certainty since everything depends, upon the ad vent of the English buyer into thP market. Should the dealers, by anjP misadventure, weaken, panic wlu ensue, mis is an but that such a thing is remote there h8 every reason to believe since every authority in tne country is - I . . l nnt nP Vtrtna nrt hand t0 tne accua. au.uuu.

POLK COUNTY EXCELLS. The following item from the Stateaman show something of the su perior character of I'olk county for all purposes; Five years ago the NoIhod fumily, near Independence, Btarted dairying with five Jersey cattlu purchased of "Uncles" Charje Miller, a breede r near Jefferson, the Quintet of Jersey costing $100. Since then but one heifer was sold, and last Tuesday the original five and all of their offHprtng totaling forty-four, were auc tioned off to anxious purchasers, the total sum , derived for them being $H!iS. Such j a transact ion Indicates that there Is "good" money in the breeding and raising of such excellent cream pro ducer; and then It must be remem bered that during those five years j the owner was deriving considerable. financial revenue from the sale of milk and cream from many of the cattlo. There is acres of room in thl groat Willamette valley for many more dairy herds of this kind. Then there are hogs and sheep and poul try and goats, and fruit and vegeta ble growing one great diversity that will make many a person roll in wealth and enjoy life as he should. Drilling for oil will soon be one of the attractions in the vicinity of Monmouth. Polk county. The tower for the machinery is eighty feet high, and the drill may be set to turning in a few days.
