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

may be raised. How frequent Is too
frequent? Elections mean candi
dates for office and decorations and

governmental policies, which Te t the
welfare and progress and history of

and tlaey keep alive the fires of patri

; 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

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. But while the newsoaner is a rommiw-

of quality as was-anticipalted before and
during picking time. Our growers have
a great many bales of hops such as
the consumers of. hops want and must
have. The majority of the bales of

So the prices paid to our growers Ought

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

It is with pleasure I now write to inform
you that I am now a healthy woman, thanks
to your kind advice and wonderful medi

a constant sufferer from womb trouble, and
leucorrhaea, had a continual pain in abdomen. Sometimes I
could not walk across the floor for three or four weeks at a
time.' Since using your medicine, I now have no more tear

hearty. I shall recommend
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege

suffering friends as the
greatest remedy for all
