LONDOX, May 13 (Sunday, 4:30
a. m.) The situation at the; seat of war
in South Africa is as satisfactory, from
the British view pyint, &i the most
stngunine friend could hare hoped a
week ago. The occpuavion of Kroon
stadt practically places the vfhole Orange
Free State in .British possession. It is
evident, from Jrd Roberts': last dis
patch, that disentigration has commene-
ed. .;.;; : --M; ;
-The Free Staters are sjcatterinj? to

tle resistance the former siill are likely
to make, seems to be centering at Lin l- f
ley, whither President Stej n has tran
fcrred h:s seal -f government. It isa
evident that that strategy ot Lord Rel-'
erts and the rapidity of his advance have
bewildered afnd disheartened the Boers.:
as their resistance since the British
reached Zand river has been slight. Th .
tmly point where they seriously attempts

London. .May 12. President Steytt
fed last evening, after vainly endeavor
ing to persuade the Burghers to con
timc' pposition. The Transvaalers
said they could no longer fight bnj
Orange Free State soil, and made off
for the Vaal river. The Free Stater?
accused the Transvaa!er5 f having ma le
use of them and then deserting. ' Many
of the Free Staters .have gone to their
homes. I Lord Roberts, in telegraphing
the war'oflice. regarding his entry imp
Kn.onstadt, says:.
"The procession entering the town was
hcadetl by my bodyguard, all of whom
were. Colonials, and alter mv staff ami

THEIR LAST CARD.
London. May 12. The-. Boer seem tj

, through the medium of the I?oer deler
gates who sailed for -New ork fro.n
Rotterdam last week. As the bulk of
me l.rnisii opinion does not contem
plate for a mo-nent that Mr. ' Fischer
ami ms companions will achieve siic
cess, u is only natural that serious
inniiRiit is not contHiicntiv devoteil to
prognostication of J.h.e date when . the

in- tnat hostilitte will have ceased bv

mat tne last country appealed to. name
ly, ine unueu states, wui attonl no
help, and that he has no alternative in

victoriously sweeping into his territory,
but to sue for peace. What Great Bfit
. ain's answer to that request' wilt be was
unmistakably defined by Joseph Cluim-
oeriain. secretary -oi state lor he col
onies, at .Birmingham, yesterday, when
he declared that the Boer republics must
become crown, co.omes whose initial

By agreeing to these terms President
Kruger must, of course, give up alitor

he other hand, now that the terms have
been so emphatically annunciated, they
mrst either be granted or England will
stitid defeated. The latter alt ernative
however, does not enter England's cate
gory of possibilities. Her people jarc
firmly convinced that Lord Roberts Will
steadily advance, perhaps with delays
and losses of dare-devil unit, and, pos
sibly, without indicting a crush
ing defeat "until he occupies the Trani
vaal. His forward progress, thev be
lieve, will be stopped only when Presi

(From Daily Statesman, May 13.)
While there will not be by any means
a full, crop of! fruit in the Willamette

late frosts and 'unseasonable' rains, there

the harvest is very unsatisfactory.

conservative grower, yesterday afteri
noon.- "While! in some localities the

Statesman, have proved to be better

The little folks in Japan make some
very interesting paper toys, and none
is mofe interesting than the irog mft

a piece of paper into a square mitch
larger than you -expect the frog to be.
'Draw lines from the corners oi 'the
square and f from t hr middle of rhe
sides. First fold the paper along the
diagonal Jines, : then turn t't over on
the other side and fold it along the
lines from the sides. It will then form
a kind of ?tx which can Ce pressed to
gether along the folds in the shape of
an unequal diamond. Now seizing the
paper below the ends of the cones,
fold- it backward so as to -have two
more regular eyual points. When, this
has been done to each of the eight cones
the result will be a perfect diamond in
the centred Then each one of the cones
must be folded again so as to get all
the points around the centre. Care
must be taken to get the points as
even and WquaL ai possible.
To finish the frog -turn the upper
points; out so that they spread 'aiid
form the forelegs, and the lower points
so that they form the hind legs. When
it is finished a fine thread may be at
tached to the frog's body, and by care
ful jerks it almost stems to leap
around on the floor or table. The pa
per used should be stiff enough to re

brittle as to break; under the handling.
Do not be discouraged if the first frog
you make is lame,, for then it is cer
tain that ihe points have not been

California Grower Take Preliminary steps
Toward Reg-slating the Question
ot Over-Prodaetlon.
(From Daily Statesman, May 13.)
Manager James Winstanley, of the
Oregon Hopgrowers' (Association,, yes
terday reported that during the past
week the association had made the :ale
of 760 bales of hops, at prices that were
satisfactory to the schedule of quota
tions fixed by the association.
.California: hop growers have takcri
preliminary steps towards effecting an
organization that is to be made in all
01 tne nop growing districts 01 tins
country for the purpose of restrict:. ig
the production to the legitimate de
mand. The growers of the vicinity of
Sacramento held a meeting last- Satttr-
dav and a marked copy of the Record
Union, of Sacramento, of Sunday, the
6th inst., and containing an account of
the meeting, was yesterday received by
the managers of the Oregon Hopgrow
ers' Association. In part the account
was os looows:
1 he meeting of the nop growers
called for yesterday at Cavanaugh's
Hall, though fairly well attended, was
not as large as had been desired. The
meeting was called for the purpose of
formulating a plan for the organization
of an association that will regulate the
production of hops by restricting the
acreage, and to take general charge 01
the industry, not only in this state, but
in all the hop-growing states of the
Union.
"A general discussion was had as fo
the advantages of forming an associa
tion to regulate the production and
prices ot Hops, and nearly all present
took occasion to excess their views.
Everyone favored thei idea.
"Letters foni a large number of
Oregon growers to 'Mr. Brewer the
originator ot the proposition were
read and the writers all heartily ap
proved his idea.
""Mr. iBrewer said fhat ail that confd
be done this year would le for the
California growers to soon come to
gether, organize an association and get
it into working order. Tne growers
in other states could then take it up and
soon all could have associations work
ing in harmony.
" 'The hop growers have it in their
power, said Mr. Brewer, 'to so regu
late the production as to cause hops
to bring a reasonable and paying price
in the market. It is simpjy a question
of demand and supply. e know what
the demand i; to cut down our acre
age and regufate the supply according
ly. It is a simple proposition and can
be carried out successfully if growers
will only get together and agree what
to do.
"The following resolution was adopt-
cu nv I'n.inimous vote or the meeting
"Resolved, that it is the sense o
the hop growers now assembled :r

tnat an association be tormed by the
hop growers of California, to co-opcr-atc.with

Resolved, that we are ready and
willing to abide by the rules and regu
lations of an association to le hereafter

purpose the reduction of the surplus of

Cat-anaugh's Hall on Wednesday, May
16th. for the purpose of organization.
"Also speaking of the meeting, one
in uec prominent nop growers of Sac

The above, is indicated in a dispatch
from San Francisco. The proposed
line is more than thirty-five iniies Jong.'.
It would run throUglthe Grand Ron le
valley and through the pafs in the Coast
Range mountains a little to ilu n''.i
oi the wagon road, at a poim where the
elevation.. is nA tnore than (too feet . above
sea level. It is1 likely that there woul.l
be no necessity of tunneling, or, -if any
ti nnels .were repiired. they would Ixr
short ones. Tire line would then pass
down the Nestucca river to within tin
to a dozen miles of-the ocean. Turning
north it wouldvpursue a -course almost
direct to lillamook City. jver a co-un
try nearly level. It would open up a
very riclifarming and dairying country.
and it W0ti;d place 111 reach 01 the "mar
kets billions of feet of timbers sonic
of the very finest standing timber in
America consisting of fir. spruce, hem
lock and cedar; Probably the finest
body of spruce on the coast is tributary
to Tillamook bay. The Southern Pa
cific has !een hauling a va.-t amount of
timber from Oregon to Old and New
Mexico.' Southern California, Nevada.
Texas, ami the other timberkss regions'
through which its lines run. lis branch
to Tillamook would give it the 'long
haul"' on a body of. timber that it 'will
take many years to saw up. thongh. no
doubt, large mills will go into that
country upon the completion . of the
road, most of the timber land now being
owned by the.',, lumber syndicates of
Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
One of these syndicates owns about 40.
000 acres of fine timber besides h.'iv::ig
a site for a mill on the bay. Other
syndicates own still larger tracts. -i
The luiilding of this Toad . would give

only .-about nine -miles of railroad to
fill up the gap between this city and
