Mrs. Andiirson'a s'ulo of the btory
is that she has cared for the little

that the father has frequently vis

packing the little one's clothes and
gutting it ready to follow the fath

letter from Mr. Phelps which caus
ed her to change her mind. She
states that in this letter he attack

"To have turued the child over

vindicated myself in court," said
hf "I roiirot (he turn matters

account ua much aa my own. I
am fully prepared to protect my
own character when the matter is

such an affair will always ' be a
cloud hanging oyer my head."
Mr. Phelps has been suffering
from nervous prostration and some
attribute his action to hia-nervous
condition.

Amonjr the Hop Men.
Anionz the hop dealers, recon-
noiterine in these parts last week
wereKrebs Bros, and Ed Herren of
Salem. According to the dealers
Kro ramninn in the bands of
prowers in the state but 1760 bales,
and they are being held generally
for 30 cents. In Salem 27 cents
was being freely paid last week.
Conrad Krebs estimates that
4000 acres more are being plant
ed to hops and that there will
be 4000 acres more picked this year
than was saved in 1903. Accord
ing to these figures, with a reason
ably good crop the yield this syear
should be in the neighborhood of
12LOO0 bales. Last year with not
a heavy crop, 85000 bales were pro
duced '
The few remaining bales 'of 1903
crop in the growers hands does not
warrant any creat activity among
dealers and the main purpose of
those now circulating among tne
hop districts is to keep in touch
with growers and write contracts
for future delivery.
A variety of contracts as to
price and number of years, is being
proposed. Some buyers are otler-
inir to contract at 1(, 14 and &
cents on 3, 4 and 5 year contracts.
Some still better offers are reported.
tho dispatches says:
The Dalles, January 21 ti.W.
Runn, of this city, ha caused
the arrest of Harry Mason on a
charge of bigamy. Mason was
married to Bunn's daughter,
Rarbaru, about a month apand
the couplo left ou a wedding
trip. After their return, Mason
secured work on Andrew Urqu
bart's farm, about four miles
from here, where he has heen
staying with his hride. The
father of the girl, however, be-
gan to hear rumors of a former
wifo. which Mason left in Cen
tralis Wash., and upon investi-
gation caused the arrest or bis
son-in-law. Mason is now in
the county jail, while the district
attorney is investigating the
ease.
The following late dispatch
from St. Petersberg indicates
Russia's unmistakable attitude
and readiness for war:
Notwithstanding all the peace
rumors emanating from various
European centers, the civilized
world is standing over a volcano
which Japan or Russia is likely
to touch off at auy hour.
The Russian government, re
porrnizinfiT the extreme gravity
of the situation, haa impressed
fiverv auxiliary cruiser available.
The next move is likely to be a
dash from the Clack Sea through
the Dardanelles. With this
move will come the alignment
of European allies in sympathy
with their own interests.
Russia believes Great Britain
will not hesitate, once the Black
Sea fleet is in motion, to ally
herself openly on the side ot
this connection a
tS HL'OU

h-itrh Russian official said today:
'The Russian government will
not tolerate any dictation Dy

last reply unanswered, so far as
her answer will influence uussia
to give way.
"Russia fears little from J apa
nese arms. Russia does, how
ever, regret that Japan will not
be the only nation drawn into
the war. The Russian Foreign
Office is fully aware that Great
Britain will not only remain
merely a moral ally of Japan.

hand things are likely to happen
that will startle the world. Eng

"Russia has strong European

added: Should America con

testants, her decision would be
of tremendous import to the en

The supreme court at Salem
yesterday made a final decision
in the Armstrong- case so far as
the state courts are concerned.
An opinion was handed down
dismissing the appeal. Arm- -

disposed to take advantage or.

No matter how hard

found a cock with its wing
