1 Throughout the WJlamette Valley the
sole toolo of Interest at the oreaent' time,
with the -exception of the ever-absorbing
political talk, le the. coming season for
hops.' ; ,. ,!;'
. 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."

Wholesale Bribery and
Corruption of Mayor
f and Police.
'
A Grand Jury Is Expected to
Bring in Charges.
(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

"Frfcnch Joe" as Par
son on the Koyukuk
Trail.
A. J. Slee, of Kaslo, B. C.an old
tlmeAof the hills, in a reminiscent mood
yesterday, remarked: "You run across
some queer thing in this - world, even
when you are a long way off from what
people is the effete east call the center
of civilization.
"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.
To love and protect this maiden so frail
From the Sour Dough Stiffs on the Koy
