RESORT TO BE
ESTABLISHED
It is reported that a hotel and
summer resort is to be built near
Hall's Ferry, on tho banks of the
Willamette river, where there are
valuable mineral springs. According
to Information at hand the plans
for the structure are already complet
ed and it is understood that construc
tion work will beln soon. The struct
ure will be patterned after the for
estry building at the Lewis and Clark
fair 1n Portland. It is understood that
the hospitals of Salom will patron
ize the institution to a large extent
with patients who will be benefit
ted by the advantages of such an
institution.
The 'hotel will be made accessible
to
both Independence and Salem by
two
daily boats and that it will be
largely patronized by both cities goes
without saying.
Who the parties are who will build
the resort is not learned but it is
understood that they are from the
east and are well supplied with
means to "undertake the enterprise.

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

Five years ago the NoIhod fumily,

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
