Many growers In Lane oounty, says the Eugene Register, who want to pick hops are unable to do so on ac count of being uuable to obtain picking money. Others will let their yards go unpicked, as tbey do not care to Jn vest further In the hops with the poor pros pects tor a market. Oue of our leading growers Informs us that he would not be surprised that if in ten days hop picking will have to be abandoned. He says the hops are moulding and rotting badly. The lice are found to be quite plentiful In many yards, and they have done a great deal of damage. A few days ago buyers were offering to advance four or five cento per pound on hops for ploking money, hut now no advances are being made, The market price is given at six to eight cents, which will not oover the ex pense of raising aud ourlug the crop. Till! Hopyards near Lebanon Hop-picking Is progressing nicely in this vlolnty. The reeeut rains have interfered somewhat, but no material damage has been done. There Is but slight evidence of mould and only a few lice have appeared. The hops are of a flue grade. Most yards are paying 40 cents per box, while a few are pay ing 86 oeuto. All yards will finish next week. We had the pleasure of visiting the new yard of J. 0. Bllyeu, near the bridge, where we were polite ly given the freedom of the place and everything was explained. Mr. Bll yeu a pretty place and has done much well dlreoted labor. His bops are fine. Another Dally. There, is a prespect that Eugene will have another evening dally paper. Mr. Miller and son, who are conducting Job office on Ninth street, have been soliciting advertising for such a dally the past week, and If they pan reoelve sufficient patronage will launch a dully lu the near future. It is an old saying that there is always room for one more. It will be the Evening Star. Eugene Register, A DASTARDLY MURDER. A, Peddler Waylaid, Robbed and Mur- uerca in iiu dhnu, The Cold Spring, so well known to travelers on the road to Sweet Home, was the scene of adastardly murder on Thursday, the' 0th. ; Friday night some campers discov ered a hat and a pack near the road at this place, but thinking the owner was making camp, and. not suspecting foul play, they took no further, notice of these things. On the following morn ing the things were In the same posi tion. This excited their' suspicions :iud a search was mode. The bat was xamlned and also the Dack. which was found ripped open and partially robbed. A further search disclosed the dead body of a man partly con cealed behind, a log and some bushes, The facte were reported to the Sweet Home authorities and the coroner,. , The facts thus disclosed showed ttuif a peddler by tho name of McOial, a Syrian by birth, had stopped at Sweet Home Wednesday, and had had two horses shod, displaying considerable money and had come from Prineville. It happened that he had been appar ently followed by threo men of rough appearance, on horseback, the entire route. The dead man had paid the toll of the cow-boys, and had at this time also displayed considerable gold. Soon aflhcr his arrival at Sweet Home, his companions also arrived, and remained over night, ' in quiring the way to Brownsville and other points, particularly the route over the hill that joins the main road this side of the scene of the murder. It also appears that one of the three cow-boys enme Into Sweet Home. little behind the other two aud ap peared not to know the latter. The two men started early over 'the hill road toward Crawfordsville. The third one went down the river road and soon returned, complaining he had taken the wrAng road. He started again, but by the same route, and soon after, the peddler started with his packs and two horses. He would naturally arrive at the Cold Spring, a 'very dark and secluded place, by nine o'clock. At this hour three shots were heard by parties at Sweet Home and fy a hunter on the other side of the river. Au examination of the body showed a bullet hole through the head and one through the body, which showed signs of decomposing. His watch wasgone, his packs rifled and his money bag ripped open and the gold was gone. -One of his horses was found near Sweet Home and the other wasdlscow ered coming this way. The latter animal was bought by a gentleman at Waterloo, and the party charged- with selling the animal is now in custody. He waived examination and was held to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of $500 bail. His examina tion was held before Justice Parrish, of Sodaville, the state aud the defendant being represented respeotfully by Mr. Kelly and Mr. Garland, ,, Several friends of the deceased are in town, seeking to find the guilty parties. Tbey claim that the dead peddler had about $800 in gold. The crime Is a hideous oue and a thorough search should be made, ''-;. Wedding Bells'. Prof. R. E.

Friday morning last, the dead body of a man was found In the store of W B. Smtth, in Portland. This store has been robbed before and the proprietor placed a loaded rifle In position to com mand the rear door, with a string attached to the trigger. The burglar entered by this door, pulled the cord in opening the door and caught the heavy ball in his thigh. An artery was severed and the man bled to death notwithstanding his frantic efforts to get out of the store when help could be found. This man was George More house, the deoeased husband of Miss Lilly Hacklcman, the sister of Charlie Hacklcman, formerly of this place. Thisyounj man came to Albany a few years ago and for a while stood blgh in business and society circles. He was married to this estimable young lady, but bis evil habits soon forced her to get a divorce from him, The many buglaries that occurred In Albany of late years are supposed to have boon planned by him, He claimed and was believed to be the son of wealthy parents, but his claims1 were totally unfounded. He was a man of pleasing address and hod many friends until his crookedness was discerned. He rapidly went to the bad In Portland and finally met his death In the act of committing a felony. DROWNED IN THE SANTIAM. John McKinnon Meets Death in its Turbulent Waters. S. A. DeVaney, correspondent In the Albany Democrat, gives the following account of the drowning of John Mc Kinnon: Canyon Creek, Sept. 8, 1894. I Bert Nye and John McKinnon, were gaing from Chas. Frost's clearing down the Santiam. home, and when thev reached the river, John McKinnon said he would cross the stream at a point of rock where a heavy volume of water poured between two large rocks, and either be slipped and, fell, or was caught by the current and washed into deep water and drowned. He had a severe bruise on the nose, forehead aud cheek, which would lead one to think he slipped and fell head first on the rock. Young Nye hallooed manfully and brought Paul Howes, W. A. Cal kins, Oliver McClure and S. A. De Vaney . to the scene as soon as they could possibly reach it, the latter three running nearly one-half mile. The water was deep and being in the shade at the time, 220 P. M., prevented the swimmers from locating the body for nearly 80 minutes when Paul Howes and S. A. De Vuuey brought the body ashore. Everything was done to re suscitate him that could be so far as we know. But all without avail. It is a heavy stroke on the bereaved parents, neither of whom are In good health. The entire community extend to them their heart felt sympathy in this their sudden and sad bereavement. John McKinnon was 14 years, 3 months and one day old, and was beloved by all who knew blm. To Make Sugar from Beets. Several of the prominent citizens of Portland propose to euter into the su gar beet Industry. To that end, arti cle's of incorporation have been filed in the office of the county clerk. The incorporators are K. G. Korn, E. S. Larsen, Edward Hughes, John Klos terman and Ex-Judge Chas. H. Carey, of the municipal court. Mr. Korn is a beet-sugar manufacturer of very ex tended experience, and Has recently arrived from Germany. The other incorporators are well-known business men. The capital stock is $1,000,000, aud the general office of the corpora tion will be located in Portland. ThiB newly-formed corporation proposes to build one or more beet-sugar factories lu Oregon during the coml ng year. It is anuounoed that it has already or dered from Germany, where all the best best beet-sugar machinery is now made, a plant which will cost about $500,000, aud, as an evidence of good faith in the matter,' has paid down a good round sum in cash. The forma tion of the Oregon Beet-Sugar Com pany is an outgrowth of the investiga tions which have been Carried on in this state by Mr, Korn, who came here from Germany for that express pur pose. Since coming to this state, Mr. Korn has not only made extensive chemical examination of the soil in different portions of the state, hut has actually experimented with seed, aud 'mmpie crop6 wlUl very stisfac- tory results. In Germauy the liest soil yields about 11 per cent of saccharine matter, in California it yields 12 per cent and here about 16 per cent. Iu addition to the gen tlemen whose names appear as incorporators, a large num ber of the leading business men and capitalists are interested. Telegram, Wood Wanted.
