REPORT THAT A SALE WAS MADE
IN EUGENE " AT BETTER THAN
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS STIMU
LATES THE GROWERS RUMORS
OF HIGHER OFFERS.
Additional evidence has : been ad
duced to confirm the belief that-; the
hop market has, attained the 25-cent
mark and is stijl mounting upward In
spite off the continuous contentions to
the contrary, and the efforts , to bear
the market down. The- news reached
this city last night to the effect that
the Hatie Jones' crop, of Independence,
had been sold to Kirkpatrick c Wil
liams, of Dallas, for 25 cents. ; ;
The. growers' position In holding out
has been very much strengthened by
a telegraphic report from Eugene stat-
inir that the J. C. Anderson lot of 138
bales, was sold in that city to F. E.
Dunn, for 25 cents oer pound, and
there was a wild rush for this lot, as
at least two other dealers received an
order for it at the T same price. ; and
about the same time and it was a case
of first come, first served.
It was also reported that the Wil
liam Steele Jot, of Be una Vista con
sisting of 100 bales,. was sold yesterday
at 25 cents. Rumors of offers of 25
cents were in circulation here last
night, but no one could Me found who
would acknowledge having "offered that
price, or to whom the offers had been
made. It is quite evident, ' however,
that the market has assumed a de
cided upward, tendency, and there. is
no knowing where it will end.

Business is now in progress, xeaiers
are buying in the interior and turning
stock quickly, -and this is giving the
market a very'flfm tone; in fact, some
sales tjave been; made during the week
at 'better prices than had ruled ' pre
viously. There, is a little Inquiry from
exporters and this is giving added
strength to the; position. In the inter
ior of this state 30c has become a well
established price for best growths, but
the lower qualities., small growths.
etc., "are selling at 2729c. Beside the
buying by dealers an 'English, exporter
is tilling orders at the top figure. On
the Pacific Coast the situation Is
stronger, and buyers have raised their
bids to 22'i23c for cholc-e brewing
qualities; choice shippers ; are held
higher, particularly In Washington ami
California, where growers are quite in
different about selling. German mar
kets hold very firm, buty'there is less
activity at the extreme rates I now
asked. London cables indicate no ma
terial change.

"PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 18. A Gradon.
manager , of .the West Side &
Suburban Railway has, given out the
statement that grading will begin with
in 80 days on the new trolley ,line be
tween Portland and Hillsboro.. The
same person is authorly for the state
ment that all other preliminaries have
been made, including the securing' the
right of way, and he says cars will be
running on the road within a year.
This is the company which has been
trying for over a year to get: permis
sion to enter Portland, and Mr. Gradon
now says everything' has been satisfac
torily arranged. The road Will strike"
out west of Portland into tha. rich Tu
alatin valley and pas on through the
small towns of the west side into Hills-
boru. If what is announced is . true It
U a, good news, for both Portland and
the country, to be opened up need such
a line and will cerialnly be greatly
benefited by it. H . -
The street, railways of Portland , are
not a bit behind the times in the mat
ter of improvements as : any one will
notice who happens along the streets of
pthU city Just at present. The tracks of
both the Washington and Third-street
company, are being ton up and relald
with larger and heavier rails and the
Southern Pacific company is also relay
ing its tracks on. Fourth street. As a
consequence the streets down town are
almost impassable and things look to 19
in a most chaotic state. After the new
street-car tracks are laid the streets
will be repaved, so thing's down town
will have a torn-up appearance for a
long time to come vl t. However, the
people will not complain, for they have
been waiting a long time for these im
provements and had about given up
hope that streets ever would be repair
ed at all In Portland, and now that
work is actually in progress they feet
satisfied that the end is in sight. The
roads that are being laid "by both com
panies are seven-Inch 90-pound, groov
ed rails laid in a solid mass ofconcrete.
Belgian blocks are being ialdbetween
the rails and liquid cement poAred in
Uetween U(s blocks so that the! whole
when dry will be perfectly immovable.
Besides this the rails are weldAj to
gether at each Joint so that eachlrall Is
practically one piece the whole length
of the improvement. The Washington
street line is the longer Job. being 22
blocks long and the cost of this b
placed at $165,000. y

Eearly In the wwk the engineers, of
the steamer Columbia, of that O. R. 4t
N.;Co., plying between here and San
Francisco, sent in their resignations to
take -effect within 24 hours. A week
earlier the engineers of the Elder, on
the same route, sent in similar resig
nations, and as a consequence Port
land " is ' without regular line steamer
service to San Francisco. The engineers
of both steamers refuse to give any
reason for resigning and have not com
plied with the statute by giving due no
tice of Intention of resigning.. The O.
R. &. N. Co. promptly filed eharges
against the engineers of the Elder last
week with the local steamboat insrject-
ors and the licenses of the engineers
were revoked. As stated, the engineer
atislgn no cause for quitting, but it is
generally understood that the resigna
tions are in the nature or a walk-out

eers on the river steamers of he same
company on the Willamette and Colum
bia. : This latter trouble started last
June and was settled for the tiro be

In good faith. ' They again struck this
fall, bu the company appeared to be
getting the better of the fight snd it Is
thought this move of the ocean engin
eers Is to force thjs company to come to
tha strikers' terms. .The ocean engin

In sympathy With the river men, as
the law which they violate by resigning
without sufficient reason is designed
especially to protect owners of steam
ers against strikes. They assert, how
ever, tjhat it Is the right of every man
to quit work whenever he desires, and
will-fight for their licenses in the courts
On this ground.
' Although these are the two largest
steamers plying to San Francisco out o,
this port, it Is not thought, that their
lying Idle will hurt the commerce of
the port much, as there are any num
ber of steam schooners and small
ocean steamers engaged In the dumber
and coast trade that could easily take
care of the freight traffic. Besides, the
O. R. t N. Co. has, for the time being,
outside of Portland, agreed to trans
port by rail at the water ratt-s. all
freight offered for San Francisco. So
unless the strike spreads to other
heamers there Is not much danger of
serious trouble at present. It Is thought
the company will try to get nonunion
men and start the Jtt earners on the
route again as' soonas possible.
The attorneys of A. L. Beldingr con
victed of murder, and sentenced to be
hanged here October 31st, early In the
week gave notice of appeal and also
asked for a stay of execution. It Is
probable that the aprfeal . cannot be
heard before the end of the month and
the stay of (execution .will be granted
The points of appeal are not considered
very strong and rf?side there is an
other Indictment for murder by the
grand Jury hanging, over Belding's
head so .there is not much likelihood
of his escaping the death penalty. " If
the stay Is granted he wlU be again
Sentenced to nans later.
The papers of the stste, the .members
of the Legislature, men and heavy tax

who Is entitled , to tje heard on the

this board Vnt out by the general gov
ernment it did not take much to show

the actual money, time and labor 'that!
could be saved to hem by good roads
throughout the state.. Addresses on
roads and road-making we no made by
members of the convention and early
next year this preliminary work will be
followed by a good roads train sent out
by the government which will give
practical demonstrations of value of
good roads in addition to theoretical
talks. Besides addresses by nimbers of
the board.' Mayor Williams, of Port

views of the necessity of good roads.
