EARL HANSEN CASE -
HELD IN HILLSHOROj WANTED IN
PROSSER, WASHINGTON, FOR
, HORSESTEALING.
(From Wednesday's Daily.)
Earl Hansen, who is under arrest on
a charge of stealing horses at Prosser,
Washington, and : bringing them to
Sherfc'ood, this county, where several
were sold, says the Hlllsboro Indepen
dent, had his preliminary examination
last Saturday : before County Judge
Rood, sitting as committing magistrate.
From the evidence Judge'. Rood thought
there . is probable: cause f . why
the ; defendant ' shall ,;' be held " to
the next, term X of j the circuit
court. He ordered accordingly, 1 and
fixed the. ball at $1,000. ? The defendant
has not furnished the security and Is
held in the county jail. . The evidence
on the .part of the State showed that
Hansen and two companions brought
a band of sixteen or' seventeen horses
I-from Prosser to Sherwood, where the
owners came up with the horses and
found them In the, possession of Han
sen, who was exercising all acts of
ownership. He wa offering to sell,
and did sell some 'Ave or more animals,-receiving
the money or . taking
notes in his name. He gave out to the
public that the horses ' were his btvn
and that the boys wera his employes.;
' .The defense submitted statements
made to his uncle to the efTect that a
past of the horses belonged to the boys,
whs are respectively 19 and 16 years of
age, that he was selling as agent and
receiving a commission. He claims he
does not know how the boys got the
horses, and that his first suspicion that
they were not obtained regularly was
'aroused at Arlington. The accused put
hlslfather and stater- on : the stands0
prove his good character. The prose
cution suggested that the evidence was
not. the best, since; a father or sister
ore the last persons to hear evil re
ports of sons or brothers. Not bills of
sale of the horses were presented to
show that the young men were right
fully In possession of the stock. The
defense charges malice onuthe part of
the. prosecuting Witness, Induced, by an
action for damages In the sum of $10,
00 for alleged false Imprisonment.

AMY CASE-'TROTTER GETS '
A VERDICT.,
(From Wed nesday 's Dally.)
.' Mary M. Larson yesterday filed n
action in the second department of the
State Circuit Court, demanding a de
cree of divorce from William Stewart
Larson upon the ground of desertion.
These are the parties which figured
prominently In the recent action in
which the plaintiff In this case made an
effort to have this defendant prosecut
ed for bigamy. U being represented that
the defendant, without obtaining legal
separation from her, married another
woman In this county. Although she
maintains that'ishe and the defendant
were legally marl-id. could not, or
would not, produce evidence sufficient
to convict him. and as the law provides
that a wife Cannot take the stand and
swear against her husband in a case of
this nature, Larson was discharged. So
she has. decided that her only recourse
Is to secure a divorce. ! -,
4 She alleges that they were married
in MoMinnville. on October a, 1899. and
that Larson deserted her on January 1.

THE HOP MARKET
STILL INCLINES UPWARD, NOT
WITHSTANDINO'REPORTS .,
TQ THE CONTRARY. ,
(From, Thuisday's Daily.)
"The price' of hops has struck the
top notch, according - to a -prominent
dealer, in this city,.a,nd he 'thinks it
would be advisable to sell at present
I-ates. which range from. 23 to zz cents
per pound.1 according to ; the quality.
He has just returned from Aurora,
where hop raisers ere excited over
prices, he said, and are in danger of
holding'on until the market drops.
. "Although the hop crops of New
York and England have failed this
year, that of Germany is larger, than
for the,., past jten years, and German
hops are already finding their way into
the; United States in large quantities.
These hops are reported to have 'fieany
double the strength of the American
hops, and they Gave been selling. in tbe
East, delivered, at 35 cents a pound.
They pay a duty! of 12 cents and the
expenses of freight and ' insurance,
amounts to 3 cents more, so the real
price netted the growers Is less than
20 cent a, pound," .
"He thinks there are yet 40.000 bales
uf unsold hops in Oregon, and that It
would be risky to bold these any longer
as the market, when it once falls un
der the importation of tIM bernum
hops, will very likely fall for good."
Portland Evening Telegram. -
The above Is from the Portland Tele
gram of last evening. It may be that
the price of hops has. struck the top
notch." As to this no one can, predict
with certainty. It Is a matter of specu
lation. But the reasons given are silly. They
are even Idiotic It Is not . true that
German hops are finding their way to
the United States ln large quantities.
Neither La It true that these hope have
nearly double the strength of the
American hops. No hops In the -world
have equal strength with Oregon's.
Only a few bales, comparatively, of
German hops have . found their way
into the United States, And only a
few will. ' And these only for the mak
ing of a small quantity of beer for the
consumption of Germans in this coun
try. The Weinhard brewery In Port-
land always brings in a few bales. So
do other breweries scattered through
out the country. ,
The German hops are not fit for
American-consumption. They are not
worth 5 cents a pound 'for this pur
pose; In fact, they cannot be used at
all. They are not cured in' kilns, like
the American hops. They Sre dried
given in lofts. The writer of this does
not wish to presume to give advice to
the growers of Oregon The price In
the future is a matter' of speculation.
The situation for the growers looks
strong now, because there are not
enough good hops to go . around prob
ably not enough of all kinds. But no
one should be scared by the silly , talk
of the Portland bear, above quoted.
Probably no one is scared. The Ore'gon
hop growers, as a class, are not spring
chickens. They are not green. They
have been in the business for' some
time . ;T.'.;-v-' ;:-.:"-
During, the past few days several
sales have been made. " all of which
were at prices of 25 cents ' or better,
which 'Is; very strong and convincing
evidence that the market has assumed
an upward tendency, and has passed
the 25-cent mark.
The Jim Meyer, lot. of Smfthfleld.
Polk county, was sold to Kirkpatrick
& . Williams, of Dallas, for 25 cents.
The lot consisted of 25 bales.
Faber Nles. of this city, have mid-
several purchases of late, all of which
were for consideration of 25 cents or
beiter, as follows: David Dove. ; lot

to be shipped by Fortmlller & LaseHe
Brothers all will be of the Italian va
riety with the-exception of about two
car loads of F!ench Petite, prunes. The
prieevbelng, paid by shippers this yesr
are much better than the average. This
year 4 cents Is being paldper pound
to producers ; as compared wIth 3
and t cents last year.
Fortmlller & Laselle state that Ore
gon prunes are able to command, a
mu?h better: market ln the East than
formerly. - Previous to this year Cali
fornia prunes brought from U to H
cent more iKr noun than the Oregon
prunes, but this year the prunes from
both states' are selling at the same
price. Oregon prunes have been at
tracting attention -for the past five
years and their reputation in the East
is now firmly established. Now, the
Oregon prunes command an equal
price with the California product and
are more sought after by some Eastern-
buvers.
The prune crop of the Willamette;
valley, this year Is about 40 per cent of
the average crop. But Although the
crop is poor as regards quantity, the
quality of the yield Is excellent. j
