(From Saturday's Dally.) '
' Salem business men are usually good
satnred, and )t-Is not often that' they
complain, but some of them now claim
they "have a kick a-cemlng," and hey
are remonstrating inijdly. It ls tue,
tut remonstrating nevertheless, and It
would seem as if they had good cause
for It. When the proposal was first
made that the.;rdlk" county a Ppf oath
to the steel bridge should t repaired,
the business men of; Salem took It for
granteir thaL' as In a former case dur
ing the making of repairs to the bridge,
travel would riot be Interfered with, but
that the worts would bo prosecuted at
night,' but now Oie contract' has been
IK, and the contractor expects to have
the bridge closed for about 40 days or
more and there Is consternation among
the merchants. - : ' ,
Forty days or more! Nearly a month
- and ;a7half,'during the busy harvest
season, to partially cut' the rich agrl-
: cultural sections west of the river -off
front Salem! This condition of af
fairs mlghlf-well appall the Salem mer
chant who draws his trade from the
: 'farmer, the hop or fruit grower .'and
the gardener, for It will seriously Inter
fere w Kb trade, at a. time when the
harvest trade is expected to be at Its
'"best. .". -. i Vi , ; S : '' ".: ' : -r "l ; "'"
When the contract for the repair of
the bridge was let br ibe Marlon and
. Polk county courts, and a committee
from the Salem city "council,, if was
stated that the bridge would "be Closed
twenty days,- and a committee was ap
pointed to arrange, if possible, for ctrt
" ting this' term down ; to fifteen days,
and at the same time to secure, a ferry
'to be operated during the" Closing Qf
-the bridge, and fix the compensation.
But' since that tme It Is officially stat
,. ed that the bridge will be closed next
Monday and remain closed, for thlrty
five or FORTY days.., .'- .",V.
. Some of the people Interested in .the
matter, argue , that the bridge should
not be closed at all during the daytime;
Jhat the work required should be done
at night, even If the- contract "price
were a little higher; and at all events,
that thirty-five to foirty days lsrby( far
too long a term for which the. bridge
Is closed. They urge that when the
bridge was re-Planked a few years ago.
It was kept -open . dally, ijbel ng ; closed
.'only at night; and they "further, point
to" the fact that large railroad bridges
.In every part of -.the UnWed StatesMare
frequently rebuilt, without; Interfering
with the running- of a single train.
' Efforts wU be made by the buslneif
, 'men. It is said, to secure action toward
. keeping, the bridge open during thi
daytime, and' have the work done at
night, and to this end the co-operation
of all interested Is desired by thost
having the matter in hand.'

The highest price yet paid for con
tracts on the 1902 crop, of Marion

a hen a contract was filed with the
county recorder wherein 17 cents was
the price agreed upon. . The Icon tract
was entered into between Jo& Goe, a

the former agrees to deliver 15,000
pounds of his crop for the above con

Although this is the highest price of
record,- better than 18 cents has been
Offered for contracts. ; , '
' The. Aurora Borealis, of Saturday,
says:- . K ' ';:
X "Frank. Feller, the : Butteville hop
grower, was In the city Friday. Mr,
Feller says he expects a somewhat
larger crop this year than last. As to
prices Mr. Feller ' thinks growers will
have a good thing this year. The Eng
lish and German crops are very back
ward and may not reach. f.he average.
He does not look for any exorbitant
prices as far as England is Concerned
owing to the large amount of last
year's crop put In cold storages There
will, however, be- demand for strictly
choice hop in the English market.' The
bops, to sell good, should have that rich
yellow or even light brown color, char
acteristic of the fullr matured hop.
Hops should never be picked green,
rather & little over-ripe. He expressed
his sympathy for the dupes who have
contracted their hops at last year's
low figures." i

' TmSASURER-NEW LAW IS
' VERY SATISFACTORY. .
Sheriff B. B. Colbath yesterday madfl
a turnover of funds into the county
treasury, which, although the amount
$372.19, Is a small one, represents the
first official act of this, character he has
performed since the beginning of his
administration.
The taxes - remaining upon . the roll
up to date amount to only about $30,000
the greater portion of which 'isT the
balance upon half payment taxes and
of this amount there is not more than
$10,000 upon which no portion his been
paid. The sheriff and his deputies
are well , pleased with the new law
which, although it has srefal faults of
a' minor nature which can be easily
remedied, is in he main very effective
and offers substantial Inducements to
taxpayers to pay their taxes early, is
taken advantage of by the great ma

THE FLAX INDUSTRY
MR. BOSSETS PLANT VISITED BY
AN ENTHUSIASTIAST IN FIBRE
PRODUCTION.
.jk ;
Mrs. O.O.Hodson. of McMlnnville, who
has been visiting frlepds In the city,
was an interested visitor at the flax
works yesterday. Mrs. Hodson is the
daughter of James Boyce, of Miincle,
Indiana, a man who made half a mil
lion, dollars out of the manufacture of
flax fibre, and began with a less capital
than is used by Mr. lipase in hi plant
In this city. There la no part of tik.
flax industry with which Mrs. Itodson
is hot perfectly familiar from the seed
ing to Its manufacture, and to a States
man reporter she stated that Mr. Bosse
undoubtedly understood hf business,
and that he was conducting the prelim
inaries along lines that mean certain
success, i She says to Salem and the
surrounding country this means thous
ands of dollars annually, as flax Is a
great revenue producer to the farms
and necessitates the emplojrswnt ot a
great amount of labor. ' . -
Mr. Bosse has ordered his looms from
Belgium and they are now on the way.
It is the Intention to do the retting-' and
scutching, this year, and by nesrt year
bis plant will be In operation for weva
ing linen. Mr. Bosse. each day, is more
satisfied with the outlook for the flax
crop and will greatly Increase his acre
age the coming season. He has, been
In communication with Mr. Boyc who
will probably make visit to his
daughter early in the coming year and
will also visit Mr. Bosse at the flax
works. Mr. Boyce has often expressed
himself to the effect that, were he
young man again, he wonld come to
Oregon and engage in the fiax industry;
that he knew ot no. place - that could
grow a better quality of fiax than could
be grown here.
The Thrust of a Lanes.
Is scarcely more agonizing than the re
current pains In the abdomen which
follow the eating of Improper food or

OUTLOOK FOR THE PRIME CROP
c IS NOT A GOOD AS LAST VEAU
i COLD RAINS HAVE DONE DAM
AGEUNUSUAL SALE FOR F.U
TURE DELIVERY.
" "(From Thursday's Dally.) " '
Fruit growers and dealers In general
have begun to take a . more hoiteful
view of the crou prospocts this season
which several weeks ago looked some
what discouraging so far as the Italian
prunes Were concerned, but uron, taking-
closer observations since -that; var
iety of fruit has developed to a notice
able degree, the Indications are that
there will be at least 0 per cent, of a
crop, upon a basis of last year's crop,'
or between 600 and 700 cars In the Wil
lamette valley. This is a rough esti
mate, but a conservative one, and it Is
not expected that the crop wilt fall be
low this figure.
The cold rains and weather of this
late spring have been very damaging
to the early varieties ; of small fruits
such as strawberries, which were later
and below the standard of qualfty gen
erally and quantity also; and cherries
which wera late and greatly damaged
by the rains, especially the lloyml
Anne variety, and the growers were
very much disappointed - f or - extensive
plans had been laid to make shipments
to eastern , markets which had to
be abandoned.. . ' "
11. S.' Gfle St Co received an order,
about a week ago, to ship a few boxes
of Royal Anne cherries to Old Mexico
as an experiment. w:lch,. if successful,
would open up a new and valuable av
enue for the disposal of the early fruits.
But the rains cracked the cherries' in
the lower portions of the valley to such
an extent as to make It impoaslble to
ship them with syecess, and Mr, GUe
stated ( that, as soon as the cherrl':s
In the uplands, which are not so far
advanced, ripen suflUiently, a shipment
Will be mad. I
, So far as could be learned the Utr
varieties .of fruits have not suffered so
greatly as the early ones, and a good
average vield'is anticipated by both
growers and dealers.
Growers of prunca will be-interested
to note that there is an unprecedented
sale of futures being made in Californ
ia prunes and that this has been going
on without any apparent cessation for
several weeks, inquiries 'are also being
made for prices at which Oregon grow
ers will sell the, 1902 crop; in fact some
of the Oregon packers - admit being
pressed unusually hard tor quotations,
The prices at which California packers
are making sales for September and
October shipment do not look very en
couraging to the Oregon grower w ho,
with a. short crop, has beenpromising

enormous proportions, and the growers
of tbe Banta taara vaney nave hjbs
co-operated in the marketing of their

country, and on last Saturday a meet

t!oL Phllo Mersey, president of tho

responsible for the firm stand tak r
by the growers. " ' Mr. Herscy in an ex-
tended address aad there was no reas
on why the growers should accept the
two and a quarter cent rnte being' of
fered by the packing Interests. He Isald
that at the present time the hold-over
stock was not over 15.0U0.MO pounds
as against sr,0(K).000 pounds a year sro.
The reports from Europe- were that
there would be. needed at least from
thirty to -fortjr million pounds; the
shortage in the' crop was serious, espec
ially in France," where It was almost
a total failure: The yield of Oregon
and Washington .was- estimated at on
a half crop. In Northern California
the crop is not" up; to the medium. Mr..
Hersey continued, in the San Joaquin
valley there, would be an enormous
yield, the greatest possibly on record,
but at best It would not exceed looo
cars he thought on the acreage, basis.
With the Santa Clara valley yield at
a twothlrd crop of two' years ago and
the depleted stocks In hand. Mr ller
scy s:oke strongly "In favor of the
growers adopting the two and a half
cent rate. ; ' '.
JThe actlonof the growers may ma
terially affect the drfcnl prune market
of the world. ..The packer have bwn -unusually
early tn the field this year
buying, but the price of two and aj
quarter cents has ben "" the lowest ,
opening figure In the history of the
Industry., The packing reports hav
been to the effect thai more than half
of the crop has already been dlposd
of at the current prices offerctl, two
and a "quarter cents.- A. census of. the
Interests represented i in the attend
ance of the meeting disputed this state
ment, very serlously
. "The most sanguine accounts or esti
mates would show that up to date the
packers , have not control of 20 jwr
cent of the Santa, Clara output.
""There was much .. enthusiasm
throughout at the proceedings, tnu h
more than has characterised many
meetings of the prune growers of re
cent date. Every utterence calculated
(o uphold the Cured Fruit Associatl
and' the -work It has accomplished in
the past was vigorously cheered."
