The commit tee says: "That a board of experts of tho char acter employed, with professional ideals and guided and influenced by an 'esthotlc sense,' which embodies some thing of necessity and something more ot 'luxury, should find the product 'wholesome,' tho yards 'generally clean,' and the inspection 'efficient, ' seems to your commlttc to cover the situation. "As a result of this Investigation, ire ourselves have no hesitancy In stat ing that the products at the yards are wholesome and proper food. We find that the companies Lave been improv ing the conditions and products from year to year." A summary of the report is: Fart ot the plants are up to date. In each of these parts are some sec tions indifferently good and in most of them things that meet disapproval. Tho worst conditions are in old build inga added to as business expanded. Further scientific inquiry recom mended on preservatives. Not all of carcasses affected with tu berculosis and lumpy Jaw need be thrown away. Ante-mortem inspection ot less im portance than inspection ot dressed meat. Dressed meat ot yards Is wbolesome and a proper article for human food. Methods for tn most part cleanly, Canning departments aro in a fairly clean condition. Some products are lacking in nutri tion Batter Inspection ot sausage depart ments is recommended. Lard companies are wholesome. Conditions ot hygiene and sanitation are very bad. Not much spitting goes on. MANEUVERS WITHOUT SIGNALS Saturday, June 30. Washington, Juno SO.

Plan To Be Tried With Largest Amer ican Fleet Ever Assembled. Washington, July 7. Plana for ex tensive maneuvers of the Nortth At lantic fleet are being matured by the general navy board, in conjunction with Bear Admiral Evans, command ing the fleet. Admiral Dewey, presi dent of the board, has sent Admiral Evans a copy of the program ot the maneuvers of the French fleet in the Alellterranean. These maneuvers are under command of Admiral Foamier, who not long ago visited the United States and was a guest of soma of our naval officers. Before antumn, Ad miral Evans will bave a fleet ot 10 battleships, which will be the largest fleet ot effective vessels ever assembled at one time by the United States. A new feature is to bo introduced Jn the maneuvers this summer, and the ships are to practice evolutions without signals in order to meet emergencies in battle, when owing to smoke or when signal apparatus has been shot away, signals rannot longer bo given. While it la regarded as somewhat hazardous to maneuver big battleships without signals, it is thought necessary to bave the officers familiar with this duty in case tbfy are engaged In actual warfare at some time in the future and a situa tion should arise necessitating the abandonment ot signals.

Condition Is Improved. Washington, Jnne 30. Secretary Shaw tonight iesued the following com palson with this and the previous fiscal year: The deficit last year was $24,000,000 in round numbers. This Included $0, 000,000 extraordinary expenses on the Panama canal. The actual deficiency on ordinary expenses was therefore, In round numbers, $18,000,000. This year the surplus is $25,000,000, and in addition tbero has been paid on tho Panama canal $18,000,000. The actual exceta of revenues over ordinary ex penses is, therefore, $43,000,000. The difference between $43,000,000 cice-s and $18,000,000 deficit on ordinary ex penses is-thercfore $01,000,000.

Salem Almost IncriHllblo though it may seem, well posted Oregon hop growers expect a crop of 130,000 bales in this stato this season. This is an expectation basod upon tho present con dition of tho yards. Soma men who aro both dealers and growors say they will not bo surprised at a crop of 140, 000 bales, and will bo disappointed if it goes under 130,000, with continued favorable- weather conditions. Tho largest crop herotoforo gathered was that ot last year, aggregating 108,000 bales. All tho yards are now in first class condition. Many old vauls are prom ising a yield 25 to 60 per cent greater than last year. In addition to this there aro many young yards which pro duced light crops ot baby hops last year that will yield full crops for the first time this year. The great question In tho minds ot growers Is whether all the hops can bo gathered. Labor Is scarce and a much larger number of people, than usnal will be required to pick tho crop. Heavy showers in this vicinity have Injured clover hay to some extent, and cracked Royal Anne cherries slightly. The rain, howevor, will benefit grain, potatoes and other crops. Harney Sawmills Busy. Burns The sawmill men ot this county bave all started their mill to running on full lime and the outlook Is better than for a number of years, as there Is a large large number of new settlers locating in this county, and then the sawmills near Harney City ship most of their product to Malheur county. There was not much demand for lumW last year, and most of tho mills closed down earlv in the season. Lumber has increased in value from $10 to $12 per thousand for rough lum ber, and dressed lumber has increased about the same per cent. Springfield May Oe I ermtnus.

State Engineer Lewis will soon go to Harney county, the land board having made an order to that effect at its last meeting. OPINION ON INSURANCE LAW. Attorney General Says Insolvency of Company Cancela Policies. Salem Attorney General Crawford has rendered an opinion In which ho hold- that whero an insuranco company has become Insolvent and n recevlor has been appointed In court proceedings In another stato, all policies in this etn'o nro thereby cancelled, but a poll cy holder, who did not know of the in solvency, may have a claim agalnat tho doposlt fund In this state for any lots ho many sustain within a rcasouablo tlmo after the appointment of tho re culver. Ho also holds that tho secretary of siate nt tms slate, as Insurance com missioner, has authority to Investigate ths condition of such an Iniurniico com pany and It ho finds that Its capital is impaired bnlow the sum ol $200,000, ho may cancel its license In this slate.

Oregon City Secretary Cross, of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua associa tion, has received a telegram from Dr. W. 0. 8horman, of Sacramento, an nouncing his serious Illness at his home, which will prevent him from keeping his engagement at this year's assembly.

Seats Assigned Legislators. Salem Members ot the next Oregon legislature have already been selecting seats In their respective houses, and Secretary of State Dunbar has been as signing seats as requested.

Washington The senate committee cut down tho b'lildlng appropriations in reporting on the omnibus bill so that Baker City gets only $65,000, Eugene $50,000, and Salem $15,000 to com plete lis grounds. Wheat Crop Looks Good. Pendleton Umatilla county will bave one of its best wheat crops this year In spite of threatening early por tents. The moist weather of the past four weeks has lifted tho crops out of the ground until they will be as good In straw as usual, whereas it was pre dicted that in somo places a harvester could hardly got below the heads, Now tho warm weather has begun to harden the young grain and cause tne maturing beads to fill out and increase In weight. County Fair at Tillamook. Tillamook At a meeting of the Till amook Development league the matter of a county fair was taken up. The date for the fair will probably be Aug ust 23,24 and 26, and it will probably Include a stock show and street carni val. J. O. Cooper, of McMinnvllle, has been engaged to manage It.
