' ; ; ! - " THE HOP SITUATION. The market for Oregon bops has hardly opened up yet. This is partly due to the reports thai were aent out by certain dealers during the picking season, to the . effect that the Oregon crop would be full of mold and of a ve ry Inferior grade. Some of the consum ers of bops who would otherwise now be buying, or making good offers, were , frightened by these -damaging ports, and they wli proceed very cau tiously, i The fact that the offers are withheld or made very low Is also caused partly, too, so it is reported, by some of . the dealers who have made contracts for the delivery of hops to the consumers at low prices. These dealers, as a mat ter of course, want to buy! hops at as low prices as possible, and the few un principled men who are for . this reason on the bear side of the market will do anything they can to keep the market from assuming a healthy or vigorous tone. The fact is, Oregon has to offer for the markets some very good hops. The quality of the Oregon product is above that of the Washington growers. The . English product is not as good In point 1 , nti.Tltit . i . f . ; . fact may be : truthfully set f or th that elections are not such a bad thing; that, on the contrary, they are a good thing, and their frequency may be m relative idea. That Is the quest ton may be raised. How frequent Is too frequent? Elections mean candi dates for office and decorations and platforms. Th'-y brinff into question governmental policies, which Te t the welfare and progress and history of the, people. They ; are educational. and tlaey keep alive the fires of patri otism. They keep she mass? a of tho people interested in the affairs of their country. In this way, they are a good thing. A republic is not a pire of machinery that can be. built up and t in motion rnd then left to run it- lf.i It Js m-t automatic It Is not perpetual motion ccnoerii. j In or.lor (to keep up Interest, there must b some inducement to Individuals, t or ganisations. : Thus we have parties and ambitious candidates for politi cal preferment. It is well that w ; THE STATESMAN. As the Statesman newspaper proposes - from this time forward to occupy a broader and broadening field, and to fill a more important place in the business and social life and pro gress of the city, district and state, it is but proper, we think. to outline here something of its future aims and policies. s In the course of the next six weeks to two months the jj office will have installed Jor its use a perfecting- press a mag- 5 nificent machine, capable of taking from the roll and print- 5 ing complete, both, sides, cut, folded and pasted, ready for delivery, a newspaper of sixteen pages, of eight pages, or six ? or four pages; or any number of pages desired, from two to S sixteen. It will be capable of turning out finished news- j papers at the rate of 6ooo and over ah hour, or smaller forms ? at the rate of 6000 to 50,000 an hour. This will enable the Statesman to push the circulation of its Daily and Twice-a- f week editions (the latter to be commenced with the first week , in January;, ana its allied publications, so as to cover a much have. This is one of the reasons why J more extended field than could be-undertaken with the me tho statesman is opi-oset to the civil chanical appliances heretofore and now possessed.

It will attempt to cover the news fields more completely than - heretofore, foreign and state as well as local. It will be for Salem and Oregon all the time. We believe in the city and the state and their future. We believe in Oregon resources and Oregon people.

As reported In a clipping from an exchange, found eiamrbere ' in this pai-er. anolhrr sawmill has commenced business on the lower Sluslaw river, increasing three or four fold the cash market for logs. This w II be .f great benefit to the settlers of tlwit country. But we call attention to this matter of news to point out a moral. Ths lumber all goes to San Francisco. The business all goes to the California me tropolis. This is true of the sawmills of Coos county and of Tillamook coun ty. The whole of the Oregon coast line. practicalJy, is tributary in a com mercial way to California. Portland could get this bvrimss, or a large part of it. But. Portland muat see that railroads are aortructd, in order to share in the raising prosperity of ths coast country, and to allow the bal ance of it he state to share In U.
