ROBBERY A MYSTERY. V
(From Saturday's Daily.)
- A rather mysterious robbery Is re
ported to have taken place yesterday
morning somewhere about 7 o'clock, at
the residence of Hon. Win. Miller, cor
ner of Court and Collage streets,
whereby Mr. Miller Is .poorer by Just
$228.82. which Is the amount lost. '
The matter was reported to, the po-lR-e
and an investigation made at the
house and In- the room from which the
money was taken, but so far as-could
be learned, no clue to the robbery was
discovered. '
hen seen at his home last night,
Mr. Miller was very reticent concerning
his loss, and said he had little to say
concerning the matter except that the
money was gone, and he did not know
where. , .". ; ! ,
"I can say this much, though," he
said, emphatially, "the money , was In
a purse under my pillow when ,1 got
up, about 7 o'clock. I went out' iri the
woodshed to get wood to make a fire,
and when I went to the bed a few! min
utes later-the pillow had been disturb
ed, and the money was gone. That's all
I know about It. The money was there
when I got up, and In a few. short min
utes It was missing. I don't know
whe're it is, and that's all I've got to
say." - ',-. , ;
He would not say whether 6j not he
bad any suspicions, but said as iSar as
he knew no one had come into the
house while he was in the woodshed,
and the theft still remains a mystery,
though some developments are looked
for during the next three or four days.
The officers are believed to have well
founded suspicions, though they would
not say what they were.
TO SETTLE LABOR TROUBLE.
SEATTLE, Dec. 5. W. O. Powell,
president and general organiser of the
Shirt, Waist and Laundry Workers' In
ternational Union, arrived In Seattle
laBt jilght from Portland. The purpose
of his visit here at this time is to aid
in straightening out the tangles In the
local union of this organization.
As previously stated In the Evening
Telegram, there is trouble existing be
tween the local Laundry Workers'
Union and the Seattle Laundry Associ
ation, the latter being composed oC the
employers. .The entployers recently or:
ganized themselves into a solid com
bine, then raised the prices ort "flat"
work 50 per cent, The employe then
went about to form a union. fThey ef
fected a temporary organization and
elected officers. Promptly the- leaders
of the movement Were discharged. The
matter rests thereby V
There is every prospect of a bitter
war between the employing laundry,
men and the Western Centnf Labor
Union, with which the Laundry Work
ers local union is affiliated. The West
ern Central Is .a. most formidable body, j
having more than &,uou mem Ders, com
posed of sixty-seven local .unions. It
recently whipped one.of Seattle's larg
est and. wealthiest wholesale firms into
line, the fight lasting three months.
j SOCIAL CENTER MOVING.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6. A periodical
devoted to the doings of society peo
pie has discovered that the social cen
ter of this city has moved up town at
the rate of a block a year. The center
of population so far as the eonserruen-.
tlal people are concerned Is this year
at Fifty-Second street .and Firth av
enue. Two years ago it was at Fiftieth
street, and in 1888 at Thirty-Fourth
street. In 1858 It 'was at Washington
Square. -,: ' - 1

HOP MARKET QUIET
IS FEATURELESS AND DEALERS
ARK DIVIDED AS TO THE
TENDENCY?
The hon market is very, quiet and
featureless of late, there being no per
ceptlble movement or inclination in
either direction, and while one dealer
will assert in the strongest terms that
the market has begun to display
downward tendency, another , will vo
ciferously maintain that it i stUI quite
strong and that the present quietness
is due to the temporary Inactivity of
the' brewers, who We . waiting for de
velopments In the shape of a break in
the market. Few sales have been re
ported -within the past week, the most
recent of which was the purchase of
the E. M. Crolsan lot Saturday, con
sisting of 15S bales, by John Car
michael, for 25 cents. , '
- (Evening Telegram.)
Next year's hop crop will not rsll
below . 18 cents. A few contracts for
19t3 hops are being made at that price,
This fact is proof enough that growers
may at least depend upon another year
of prosperity. It Is doubtful If the
price will ever again fall as Jow as 10
cents, as the consumption keeps pace
with the supply, more especially as the
New York growers are going out of
the business, owing to 'adverse condt
tions. ,
The- market has been most peculiar
this year. At the present time some of
thedealers are selling. 2. cents below
the market price to make good orders
which were not covered with contracts
The more conservative dealers hedge
by' covering each order they take -in
advance with a contract with . the
grower, so as not to be caught short.
In this manner they have the supply
when called upon and do not have to
buy in the open market for filling their
orders. Others. howVer,. will take all
the .orders they can get regardless of
whether or not they can cover wlt
contracts. When these latter have to
sell short it has the effect of stimulat
ing the market, the. same as was done
this vear.
It seems all the" more remarkable that
prices kept up so well In the face ot
the fact that very few of . the large
brewers, according to reliable Informa
tion from trade sources, have bought
of this year's crop. Most of the large
brewers have cold storage plants
where they keep hops in stock, and
many of them have been using from
the cold storage stock father thai pay
present prices. It Is their policy to
wait until an off year so that they can
stock up when hops are cheap. But
the fact that they are drawing largely
on their old stock this year ought to
help In making good prices next year.
Having; exhausted their reserve stock,
they will be farced to come Into the
market heavy for a new supply, there
fore dealers. It would ""jseem. are Justi
fied In making contracts ahead for 18
rents. ; , , .1
"NOTHING SUCCeEOS

The Oregon Fire Relief Association
has been a success ever since It began
business in January, 189B, and la now
growing faster than ever before.

190L shows a net gain In amount of In

SO per cent more than the net gain ot
any previous year. It paid 125 losses
during the year amounting to J23.G0O.
