Tbe hop market has fairly broken, as
there have been within the last ten
days some 10,000 bales bought and
shipped from tbe valley, at an average
price of lfl cents. Lumberson & Wilkes
have purchased for Geo. Pope & Co.
some 550 bales of choice hops in
Brownsville, Boio and Halsey. The
Lebanon hop growers are holding for
20 cents. It is to be hoped that they
get It, but in the light of past experi
ence when the market breaks and
buyers are In the Held, is the time to
sell. The tendency is downward in
stead of upward.

neck, and it was very Interesting to
read a record of IiIb travels. Ho Is a
dog of ordinary sine, and easily makes
friends with any stranger. No one
knows where lu first started bis career
of wandering from town to town, for
Bettlng the scenes of his nativity, and
becoming the pet of express messen

Tbe Albany Democrat Is at pains to
say that the Oregonlan "lied" when it
stated that the democratic editor of the
Cleveland Plaindealer appeared before
the ways and means committee to ask
for retention of duties on lead ores.
Then the Democrat adds a quotation
from tbe Plaindealer whioh shows that
the editor of that paper stated that he
"was not willing to have lead ores put
on the free list." "It easy to lie,"
the Albany paper sententiously re
marks, It is, it is, indeed. Oregonian.
A case of isolation and need baB lust
come to the authorities. A lady with
two children arrived here this morning
from their home In tbe northwestern
part of Lane county, One of the chil
dren, her youngest, is only a baby,
while the eldest, who is also wilh ber,
Ib not much more than ten years of
age. I be father and four remaining
children were left at their homestead,
which is several miles from any neigh
borhood. Last winter the woman was
seriously ill with inflammatory rheu
matism and tbe husband, who is con
sumptive, managed to get to this plaee
and procure a little assistance from tbe
county court. His disease has beeu
gradually growing worse since, but the
mother and little children bave worked
what little lund tbey huve cleared and
raised enough vegetables to last
through the winter. Tbey bave no
slock, no wheat, and no means with
which to purchase flour aud other
necessities. The husband is too weak
to tra el, so tbe woman took- the two
children and started for the county
seat to see what she could do. The first
five miles they were obliged to travel
over a mouutain trail, that being their
only outlet to a road this way. From
there she caught chance rides until
tbey arrived here. The county court
will undoubtedly do something for the
family. Eugene Guard.
Shot Hlni.elf
Lust Monday eveniug our usually
quiet little city was thrown into some
what of an excitement, by the an
nouncement that Andy Vail had shot
himself. Mr. Vail, who lives, iu the
west part of the city in Mr. Weeks'
residence, got his rifle, which is a Colt's
44 calibre, and went out iu the yard to
tbe fence, which is a rail fence, about
twenty steps from the door, and shot
himself. The ball passed through tbe
body, goiug through the left lung,
barely grazing the heart, and ooming
out at tbe back, about an inch below
tbe angle of tbe shoulder-blade, Tbe
bull shuttered one rib as it passed
through him, making an ugly as well
as a dungerous wound. Mr. Vail says
that the gun was accidentally dis
charged as he started to caoss the
fence, but a great many think it vas a
case of premeditated suicide. Dr.
Courtney was called, aud after exam
ining the wound pronounced it fatal,
but has done all in his power to save
the wounded man. Dr. Lee, of Junc
tion City, who is Mr. Vall's uncle, was
called In consultation the nextday, and
also Dr. Lambersou. Mr. Vail is still
living and rests reasonably well, but
the dojtor says his recovery is barely
possible while he may live ten days.
M r. Vail in a man about 80 years old,
Is an honest industrious man, and is
generally thought well of by all who
know bim. He was born and raised
near this place, and his parents are
old pioneers. He has a wife aud four
children. Mr. Vail and family have
the sympathy of tbe whole oommunity,
Later. Mr. Vail requested us to
state that the shooting was purely uo
cideutal and all reports to the eontrury
were false.
As we go to press the doctor tolls us
that Mr. Vail is iu a dying condition,
and probe bly will not live till sundown.
With The Editors.
Lt Thursday morning, accom
panied by our better half, we stole
away from our dreary duties tor a few
daysmit and to enjoy the happy privi

was formally welcomed to Portland
and Oregon by Captain George H.

land, and Pres. Eddy for the Oregon
association. Mr. J. It. Buxton, of Win
lock, rei-ponilel in a happy vein, after
which I he vaudeville entertainment
specially arranged for tbe editors and
tbeir families was given.
At 8 o'clock the next morning the U.

to go to Hood Iliver, where on excur

Australian papers in all about 125
persons. The train was In charge of

were to proceed at the will of the
guests.
Tbe first stop was at the Multnomah
falls, where about a quarter of an hour
was spent in viewing this wonderful
sight, as that magnificent body of
water fell over 700 feet. Another brief
stop was made at tbe Cascade locks,
but as too much time hud already been
spent on the road, it was thought best
to push on. Tbe destination was
reached at about 11:15, and the excur
ilonlsts were given a warm greeting by
the citizens. Hon. C. L. Smith, chair
man of the receptlou committee, invit
ed the party to tbe pavilion, a few
blocks dislant. At the pavilion a gen
uine surprise was in store for the edi
tors. We had been given to understand
that a kind of fair was being held
there, but when we saw such a show
of fine fruit and vegetables our delight
was unbounded. The hall was beauti
fully decorated for tbe occasion, and
In the center of the stage was the motto:
WELCOME.
There'll a elite! amaiiK w taktu' uott's:
Au' faltli, he'll yriut them.

wonderful. There were more thau 100

for the edltorsand their wives. Three
long tables, fashioned Into a big square
based capital 17, were completely lined
od either side witb (eastern when the
orchestra atruok up a tune nf welcome,
and the first course appeared. The
Portland's chef had evidently expected -a
crowd of epicurean critics to discus '
his handiwork, for he not only selected1
choice ediblesf.bot cooked them in a
most appetizing way. We remained
there until two-o'clock in the morning,
eating and drinking good things, and)
listening to good music, and toasts.
