The commercial importance of the hop industry has increased .wonderfully In the past few years, the growers take more interest In the care of their crops than formerly, and the raising of the product has indeed become commercial. Around Aurora, Butteville, .Champoeg, French Prairie and Woodburn the new vines are beginning . ten sprout ..upward, some places the growth being a trifle greater than at' others, the general aver age height being about' five feet. The vines are' now blng tied to the poles and hoeing will begin In a short time. It is said by prominent hop men ' that there has been quite an increased acreage planted this year over that of the previ ous -aeason.-, Of course at this early date. It. is well nigh impossible to predict. what the sea son will bring fprth In prices and yield, but. to all appearances this year is more favorable for" a large csop than for a number of years pervious. To try to pre diet the coming! season's 'quotations would also be folly, aa there are too many important factors to be taken into consideration. .-,f. James Wlnstanley. : secretary of the Oregon Hop. Growers' Association, says the Oregon hop.plants. are making, a. good growth, in spite of the cold, backward spring weather. He reports sdme mlssirtg hills in the yards, but no greater, num ber than is always' found in the spring. A few yards are being abandoned, but only yards that had been started on soil not adapted to ,liop culture. Many new yards were planted this spring. It is a self-evident fact that the hop buyers doing business In this country would not be free and even anlxous buy ers of the growing crop at 12 cents In March and ADiil. runninv chances o'n quality, quantity and the numerous oth errXlaks that buying a growing crop en talis, unless the situation was statisti cally on ah exceptionally Arm basis. 'The president of the Pacific Hop, Grow ers Association considers the prospect fo high priees this year very bright. He says: "The hop situation in this country has reached a stage of strength not equaled for many years past thus early in the season. It is eight years since the pres ent ruling price of 124 cents for contract hops was paid at this season, and that year the value of good hops on the open market never fell below IS cents when the product was In the bale. "The situation can be summed up as being an exceptionally bright outlook for the grower whose crop is unsold and un der his own control, for even a strong sit uatlon, such) as the present market shows, can be checked eft and hops pressed downward by the manipulation of interested parties should they be able to contract a sufficient quantity of the crop before picking time. They could use these hops that they contract for at the comparatively low price of 12 and 12 V4 cents as a club to knock prices in the head by delivering them to brewers In small quantities, enough to hold them from week to week, thus freezing out the small and financially weak growers, who would be compelled to Bell, and holding values down till the bulk of the crop had passed out of tlrst hands, when the markets would Immediately reach the level the conditions would warrant. 'Deal ers would thus derive the benefit instead of the farmers." 1 (Journal Special Service.) EVERtTT,' Wat 14.

(Journal Special Cable.). , ST. PAUL, May 14. What promises to be one of the most sensational police scandals the country has ever known is fast drawing to'avhead in Minneapolis. Wholesale bribery and corruption1 of all kinds have been charged against the po lice and other high officials, and Indict ments by the score are expected. Police officials of high standing, includ ing the chief, . are charged with bribery, and It is expected that Mayor Ames himself will be indicted. The whole matter Is now in the hands of the grand Jury. The members of this body are observing the utmost secrecy In regard to- the- raa.Urr.ej?en , as. ta .. the names of the witnesses called. It is known that "big' mlt" men and gamblers have appeared before the grand Jury and told clroumstantlal stories of bribery and it is believed that a number of policemen anxious to "get from under' have turned state's evidence and told of doings that may send a number of prom inent officials to the penitentiary. Gambling and "big mlt" games, pool rooms and disorderly houses have been allowed to run unmolested In Minneapolis for a gear. It has been generally charged that the police were receiving their share of the proceeds of these Unlawful games, but for months little attention was paid to it - Of Jati""t$owever, t h" -wor"-s! the "grafters" has become so course that even tHe blind were unable to longer countenance it. The county officials have at last taken cognizance of the matter and the grand Jury made of Itself a com mittee on Investigation and discovered so much rottenness, that It could not be overlooked. Two "big mlt" men arrested , by uni formed detectives were convicted and sentenced to Stillwater. They bfclleved that they had been getting the ort of It and volunteered information to the grand Jury In an attempt to "get even" with the police. Their story of bribery and blackmail haa .been corroborated 07 others, and It Is probable that the end of another week will see a dozen promi nent officials behind their own bars.

RAILWAY TIES ADVANCE. Prosperity has reached the tie mills in the eastern part of Multnomah County. Prices are advancing and the prospects are growtngSrlghter every day. The recently formed combine has done much to raise the price 'of ties, but the advancing prices of all kinds of timber are the real cause of the recent advance. It Is said that one of the agents of the O; R. & N. Co. has been Interviewing the mill owners with the purpose of con tracting for the entire output of the mil,s for the next two years at the price of cents each; an advance! of one-half cent over any price ever given in recent years.

"I was up on the Koyukuk trail In Alaska dtirlng the winter of '98, and while at the road house at the beginning of the trail a young woman, Miss Anna Thomp son, came Into the camp from over on tne Yukon. "She was anxious to get to Bergman, some 200 miles Inland, and the only way to do so was by dog team and by camping out with the. men on the trail. "The young woman had her own no tions regarding the proprieties of life and objected to the trip in that manner. Dur ing her stay at the road house she be came . acquainted with a young man named Hendricks, who was smitten with her and proposed marriage. She, thinking that withal he was not such a bad sort of a fellow and bound in her direction, concluded that there was a way out of her dilemma, and accepted him.. "But a new difficulty arose; there was no one within 'reach vested with legal authority to splice them. Finally an odd -eharactsr, known to a IV the old Miners-en- the Yukon as 'French Joe.' offered his services as parson.' After discussing tho question pro and con, his offer was ac cepted. He performed the marriage rite to the best of his ability, and In lieu of a marriage certificate gave them the fol lowing verses: t ' "Twenty miles from the Yukon, On the banks of this lake For a partner to Koyukuk, Hendricks I take. We have no preacher; We have no ring: It makes no difference; its the same old thing.' " 'I swear by my Gee pole under this tree A husband to Anna Thompson I always will be.
