Again, Salem, the capital of the state, derives not a little benefit from the advertising the holding of the fair here affords the community.

The sale of 150 bales, price not stat ed was reported yesterday by the offic ers of the Oregon Hop Growers' Asso ciation." Other offers 'are under con sideration by the sales committee of the organization. The spread of tire blue mold among baled hops has abated. H. L. Bents, secretary 'of the Oregon Hop Growers Association, yesterday said that the mold was decreasing rather than in creasing and the hope is entertained bj all growers that the fungus grqwth will speedily disappear entirely. At any rate the mold is not increasing and it is believed the change lc the coolc; in weather conditions will tend to check the further spread of the mold and th consequent damage to the hops. Cool, dry weather is conducive to the rapit spread of the destructive agent. . The board of directors of the hop grower's association will convene in called session in this city next Satur day afternoon. It is understood that only business of a routine nature will come up for consideration. THREE DEPUTIES.' County As sessor J. W.

MAHONY THK CUBAN CAPTAIN WRITES TO A SALES FRIESD tor I ndpcBdfo- & Sad . .. - Funeral. (From Daily, March 21st.) Many of the readers of the States man will doubtless remember Captain Edward P. Mahony. ot the Cuban army, who visited in Salem during the, winter of 1897 and 1898, having come here in the interest of the Cuban cause. Captain Mahony is now in Havana, where he holds a responsible position under the city government and is prosperous. While in Salem the brave young Cuban officer made many friends and among one of his warmest admir ers was Supt. Thomas W. Potter, of the Chemawa Indian Training school Captain Mahony spent several days at the school, where he v lectured before :he students onUhe Cuban war for in dependence. Since his re.'irn to Cuba a correspondence has been carried on between the former Cuban officer and Supt. Potter, and in the letters received by the latter, many incidents of the great jstruggle for liberation are told by Captain Mahony, who took so prominent a part in that war. One of .hese letters, written on February 18th, and wnich was received by Mr. Potter a tew jdays ago, is given below, show ing the sacrifices made by many Cubans :or the liberation of their people, from the yoke of Spain. The letter follows: "Yesterday being an unusual day for me, I! cannot but relate the -incident. and perhaps it may be nterest:ng t-.. you. as it was surely one that brought back to my memory one ot the sad events experienced in the days of Cuba's struggle for freedom. "In the month of December, 1896, I was in the province of Havana, and it was almost impossible for the Cuban Forces to keep from battle every day, the Spanish columns being so numer ous and our force having but a small supply of ammunition. One morning our guard halted three men on horse back. They were trying to locate our ramp, and they proved to be three real patriots, a father and his two sons, fully armed and ready to join their Cuban comrades in the struggle that has now finally ended. The father rode before his two sons and. approaching our commanding officer, , said: 'Sir, here is myself and two of my boys. We have come and placed ourselves at your disposition to fight for, our coun try.' Their names were Jose Nunez (father), the sons Rafael, and Andre. The same afternoon I left for Pinar del Rio, and was back in three weeks with messages for Gen. Castillo. "Two mornings after my return we were camped at the foot of a wooded hill, twelve miles from Havana. At 8:30 I was busy writing, and the camp was cooking breakfast. At this hour wc heard the noise of animals coming over this wooded hill, and in a few moments 300 Spanish cavalry had emerged, coming in double time through our camp. They were sur prised, as they never dreamed of our presence until in our midst, and' all our horses being loose, every man had to grab for his. and in about four min untes our force of 150, all told, was in the saddle. The Spanish troops, in stead of attempting to demoralize our camp, fled from it and took immediate position on a little hill a few hundred yards away, which overlooked,, us and dismounting on their good position they fired one volley into our second squadron and immediately three of onr men fell the machete was our only defense, as we bad no ammunition. "I led the first scjuadron with the machete, a few of my men having a little revolver ammunition with which we killed three of their horses and wounded one -soldier, and the enemy retreated. The captain of the second squadron reported the death of his three men, and I . was grieved that poor Jose Nunez and 3iis son Andre wefc two of the victims. It' brought the tears to my eyes to see the third of the family, Rafael, weeping bitterly at the. loss of his father and brother. A place was selected and the graveswere made, and they w-ere buried-side by side. The father wore a plain gold ring, whicb was not removed bv my instructions, and I noted the affair in my diary. Rafael said: "'Edward, when Cuba is free, and you stilj live, we will exhume father and brother, and bury1 them in the cemetery at Managua.' " 'Yes,' I said, 'that is why I would not let you take that ring. Should we live we will have no trouble in the identification.' "A few weeks later I went to Pinar del Rio again, and later to the United States. On my return, after the Maine explosion. I was only a few days in Gen. Rodriguez camp when I was sur prised to see Rafael a captain, in charge oi- my old squadron. After exchang ing compliments as to my safe return, etc., he said: " 'Do you remember the morning father and brother were killed and the evening we laid them to rest? "Peace came, and the war cloud floated by. I came into Havana and Rafael was made a Rural Guard officer, out at the town of Gaines- I went oc casionally to Gaines, and Rafael and I became close friends and corresponded. Last week he wrote me. saying that on Feb. 10th he was going to exhume h:s father and brother, and do as he told me at the time of their death, but this aid would not be done without my rn-MMiee. I told him to . open the? graves on thi 10th, place a guard of honor there during the night, and that I would be there Sunday at 9:30 and help take the remains to the cemetery;. "The news scattered through the press and. the family being very promi mn 9 larire crowd witnessed the ex humation. I left Havana at 7:30 d arrived at the place at 95- .My. horie wa wtoite with foam, the morning sun H in n a little nenctrating. I was met by a squadron of rural police and es corted to the place.

The proces sion started, and at 4:30 the remains were laid in a beautiful vault in Man agua cemetery.' ' ; "I received he compliments of the relatives and family and the people of Managua. I arrived in Havana at 8 o'clock, after performing this solemn act, whacft reminds me of the many sac rifices for liberty, r "This is only one of the numerous incidents r of history connected with Cuba's battle, and as I was one of the most interested parties on this occa sion, I thought that it might interest you." - 1 f-.. . ; :.

He will make Further inquiry and probably secure ad ditional' specimens. .

Dr. Wolff bases his generalizations on. 1071 cases of accidentia which happened in 'is own d strict during 1807. Mon iys and Fridays iare the days when !'os' ocidrnts occur, because, accordf nwr t" fiis statement, the drink'ng shop's iK most' frcquenied by workmen on he days previous viz-.

With reference to the hours of the day. Df. Wolff states' as an un doubted fact that the hours after break fast, dinner and the afternoon rest are those signalized by most accidents He attributes rhits lassitude, caused by the work of indigestion, and to the rise made by men of intoxicants during meal' times.
