IT LOOKS FINE HOP YIELD PBOMISES TO EQUAL THAT OF LAST YEAS ACCORD INO TO Tim DEALEES. Picking of Early Fuggles Already in Full Blast, Other Varieties to Be Harvested Next Week First Lot of Fuggles Sold and Shipped. The hop harvest of the year 19; is now at hand, and within the next week or ten days the country will be ringing with the merry cries and laughter of the picking hosts. The picking of the early Fuggles has already begun throughout the valley and will probab ly be finished in the course of the pres ent week or the beginning of next, i'icking in the yart of A. Jerman, who probably has the largest acreage of Fuggles in the state, begun the first of this week, and picking is hltto under way in the vicinity of Wheatland, north of this city. Wagon loads - of pickers and their camping, goods and supplies are to be seen upon the afreets at almottt every hour of the day now, and the popula tion of this city, and likewise of the surrounding country, is being rapidly depleted as a result, and the population of the hop yards increased accordingly. The general prieo for picking, up to the present time is CO cents per box, in some instances by weight and in oth ers by measure. Good Prices Prevail. According to the reports which are coming in from the fields daily, the condition of tue liops .improving wonderfully as the harvestnng season approaches, and the prospects of the growers and increase of estimates on the total yield is growing apace. Many of the yards, according to' reports, which have hitherto been looked upon as partial failures, have improved to such an extent, presumably on account of the rains of several weeks ago which seems to have gone direct to'tho hops where the moisture was most need ed and where it did the most good, and the estimates for tte state are steadily on the increase. Estimates among the dealers continue to vary from ts5,000 to 90,000 bales, while some place the prob. able yield for the state at not less than 95,000. With 25 cents being freely of fered the prospects for a good price for this year's crop is indeed very flatter ing to the growers. - As hiarh as 26 cents has been offered on contract or an op tion on several crops in this vicinity. First 1904 Hops Shipped. The credit for having made the first shipment of Oregon hops, of the crop of 1904, as was the case last year also, is duo to the firm of lienj Scbwars &" Hons, of New York, through their lo cal agent. Jos. Harris ,of this city..Yes terday Mr. Harris received and ship ped the Smeed lot of thirty-two bales from Eugene, the priee paid being 25 cents per pound. The hops were of the early Fuggles variety and were probab ly the first lot to have been placed upon the market. This is considered a very good Trice for an opening and especial ly for this variety of hops, which are not so much sought after as the Eng lish Cluster and ether later varieties.

County Judga J. IL Scott president of the Good lioads Association has taken up the suggestion : for an exhibit of Good-Roadsmaking at the State Fair in a way that hows earnestness at leant and also zeal for the good roads propaganda. Judge Bcott went to Albany on Wed nesday and arranged Jwith Mr. Stone of the Corvallis and sla stern It. R. for that gentlemen to sehd forty tons of the Hantiam (Detroat) granite to the State Fair. Then yesterday he returned and went to Portland in the , interests of the atnj proposition and returned last night, lie saw a number of people who are interested in the proposed exhibit at the Fair and found them all willing to do all they could. lie met Mr. James W. Abbot, special agent of the Rocky Mountain and Paeifie Coast Di vision of Public Road Inquiry, United States Department of Agriculture, at Portlad. That gentleman was going to Washington, having an egagemet at Whatcom, but when he learned that there was a meeting coming on of so much interest and importance as the Oregon State Fair, and that there was to be an exhibit of Good Roads work there, he decided to remain and take it in and help with his knowledge and ex perience to make it as full of value to the state as possible. Mr. Abbot had a large number or views exemplifying the work on roads where the Good Roads movement has been in prgress and Professor Hyde, of the State University at Eugene, . who has a stereoptican, will., bring that for the pnraose of showing them properly. It is their intention to. ask the State Fair management to give them a night to be devoted to the discussion of the Good Roads question, in which nearly everybody that goes, to the State Fair will be interested. It, is though here will be no difficulty in getting this matter arranged to the satisfaction of the Assocabftion avl the Board. , Judge Scott also saw Messrs. Ileal & Co., of Portland, and thS will install a rock crusher on the Fair Oronnds and the Buffalo Pitts people will send one of their ten ton steam rollers to the Fair, as an exhibit. : It is the desire of the Good Road Association to build at least 150 t o 200 feet of model road, and the machrn ory that will bo there as a part of the exhibit will aid in the preparation ef the rock and the roller will be for the purpose of making and rolling the bed. An attempt will be made to get the State Fair Board -to bring wenty-five tons of both the rock from the quarry to the South of town and of boulders, and an arrangement will be made, no doubt to biy the stretch of road at some point where it will prove of value to" the Fair Association. Beal t Co. want to send a grader, and the Buffalo Pitts Co. a sprinkler, and the work will lie done properly s that everybody in terested can see the wark well and property done, and how it is done. This will -no doubt be a great drawing card to the State Fair, and while Judge Scott has not been able to see President Downing as yet, there is no doubt at all that the State Fair Association wirr agree with the Good Roads people that this is a great move ahead in State Fair work in Oregon and will help in It all they possibly can.

Cutler of Salt Lake, was nominated for Govern or by the Republican ttate convention today on the second, ballot. ? The fight for the Governorship was a three-eor-nered one, between Governor Heber M. Wells, now serving the second, term; James II. Hammond, the present See retary of State, and John C. Cutler, a prominent merchant of Salt Lake. Ham mond withdrew after the first ballot. Charges of church influence were be ing used on behalf of Cutler were free ly made outside of the convention by the adherents to Governor Wells and Hammond. Indirectly the fight of the United States Scnatorsbip in the Utah Legis lature next winter Was brought into today's contest.

ONE THEM SINKS IMMEDIATELY Fleet Trying to Clear the Entrance to Port Arthur Harbor for An- j other Sally. Explosions Seen and Heard From Near by Lookout Posts of the Japanese Russian Fleet Returns to Harbor Tow ing One 'Boat, f TOKIO, Aug. 26. Five steamers and three torpedo boat destroyers' emerged from Port Arthur yesterday morning and began the work of clearing away the floating mines. ..t 6:20 in the ev ening a two funneled destrover struck a mine two miles off the Liao Ti Prom ontory and sunk immediately. Five minutes later a second destroyer with four funnels ran against another float ing mine, which exploded. This second vessel was at once surrounded by the other Russian ships and towed into. Port Arthur, the entire fleet accompanying her. These occurrences were seen from several Japanese watch towers. The Japanese cruiser Hashidate also wit nessed the explosions. The action of the Russians in attempting to clear the channel of mines indicates the intention of the fleet to again sally from. Port Arthur. MINING CONGRESS IIN GREAT TURMOII Heard Loud Reports. Chefoo, Aug. 26. A sailor reports when off the Liao Ti Promontory last evening he heard two loud explosions. This may be a confirmation of the re port from Tokio that two Russian des troyers had struck mines, as tbe report agrees with tbe Tokio report as in re spect to the time. Rev. E. P. Riemer and wife of Fasa- dena, California, left yesterday for Portland after a visit here. PORTLAND, Aug. 25.-Intense bit terness was injected into the proceed ings of the 'American Mininc (Jongress this afternoon during the discussion of the subject of the location of a per manent headquarters for the Congress by tbe introduction of the Mormon subject. President Richards ! at the opening of tbe afternoon session broached the, subject of a permanent headquarters and stated that great eare should be used in consideration of the momentous matter. Nominate Salt Lake City. Richards Lad hardly closet when; John Dern of Salt Lake, placed that city in nomination and was followed bv Judge O. W. Powers, who in a schol arly address seconded the nomination. Powers said that his citv was prepared to offer financial aid to the united sup port of Jew; Gentile and Mormon. Denrer Is Proposed , James F. Neal Calbrait of Denver proposed an amendment to the nomina tion to substitute tbe name of "Den ver" for "Halt Ike City." Lafe Pence followed with an address sup- pining uenver. uuring ine course oil bis remarks he took occasion to make) the statement that "Denver stands fr mining, and we all know what Knit Lake stands for, Pence leav ing his intended meaning to the. intui tion oi his "hearers. An Angry Colloquy. Judge Powers arose from his scat, wrath spreading over his features and ferpiratton breaking from his fore ead, and demanded that Fence make clear his inference. . Pence replied: "Well, if vou want to know what I will repeat. In Denver every man is entitled to more than one mine; in Salt Lake he is entitled to more than one I roxy prospect as yoa may call it." 'owers could hardly restrain his an per and replied hotly tat besides uttering an insult to the women of Utah, Pence had departed from the line of real ar gument. , . The halt was in a hub-bub, eries of derision at Pence's remark coming from, every section. After some further dis cussion of a torrid character, a motion to. adjourn was recognized, and the question of the selection of a perma nent headquarters went over until to morrow morning with the probabilities that a final decision will be deferred a year at least, or longer.
