One Sale Made Locally at Thirty and One-Half Cents Yesterday Secretary Winstanley Sees Strength in Market aid Looks for Further Rise. r-: There; was a very much stronger tone in the hop market yesterday than bad been felt for some days, and ' the amounts of inquiry for bops from buy ers was far in advance of a few days previously. In fact, it would seem that there was an effort to do something on the part of the buyers 'yesterday, and one sate of "fifty bales was made by Gilbert f& Patterson to George Dore.a at 30 cents, the hops being from tbeiT Lincoln yards. . This . is the only sale the writer heard, of as actually being closed here yesterday. , : t " 'r .Secretary Winsta"nle7 of the Hop Growers' association said that there was no uouit tt .au mat as soon as a number of bills of lading reach .

HOBS JAPANESE VICTORY SEEMS DECISIVE The Russians Are Compelled to Retreat Port Arthur Is , N appreciable' progress baa been made in the projected advance of the southward Russian army under Knro patkin since the initial success of the moveent in tbe capture of Beatsiaputse. The fighting was of the stubborn de scription and continued along tbe entire front. . Oyama reports the recapture of thirty gnus from the - Russians, lie Cairns the distinct successes are forcing the Russians to retire from advanced positions. Kuropat kin 's report to the em' peror is couched in guarded terms, and claims nothing in the way of accom plished results. He reports the Russian military eommander at Port Arthur says the Japanese brought a shell fire to bear upon' tbe inner fortress. Tbe gar. rison,- however, represented a hopeful outcome' of tbe siege. Port Arthur 'Sends Report. ' ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 13. In the midst of anxiety and suspense, in which is involved the gfeat fight south of Mukden, comes the first word of many days from the galant defenders of Port Arthur. While General Stoessel's re port of the condition of affairs at Port Arthur no later than October 7 shows the garrison at that time unimpaired in spirits, it was making a heroic defense against a series of bitter assaults. Closeness of the fighting, deadly charac ter ofvthe attacks and counter attacks bive Shown the fact that both sides are ufjing band grenades and that the Jap anese, after a bloody capture of an im portant signal station hill, were unable td hold the position in the face of the fire from the fortress. .Repeated ailure of, the Japanese to hold the footing once gained' in the circle of inner forts was received here With much satisfaction. The reckless ferocity of the assaults by tile overwhelming force of Japanese seems to make it certain that Port Ar- tlur can only be held by an immense expenditure of ammunition, and it is be coming a serious question with tbe au thorities bow long even the great sup ply known to exist in the fortress ean laat in the face of the Japanese attack. ; Fighting Is Severe. iST.'

Foreign Minister Lamsdorf tolay presented to the Emperor the whole issue between the Foreign Office and tbe Admiralty over the question of contraband of war, which as cable! to the Associated Press 'October 10, had reached an acute stage. It is understood, however, that tbe mat ter, was temporarily, adjusted and nj sensational developments, such as the resignation of Count Lamlroff arean tlcipated, at least for the present. day, the meaning and value of, which shall yet eause seme questioning. ; In section 10 of the law, the sentence beginning on line 25 says: ''A petition for an election In any county or subdivision thereof shsll be considered as and shall have the effect of a petition for an election in each in dividual preeinet in such county, or sub division thereof, and the county eourt shall issue an order of prohibition for etch and every preeinet in the eountv veting 'for prohibition,' notwithstand ing the county as a whole and tbe sub division (if any) as a whole, voted 'against prohibition.'

Decide That This Is Necessary For the Purpose of Preventing Conflsca 'tion of Property. , The liquor interests of this eounty have derided that if they are to get the protection in the. county which their property Interests and wbicb those who enjoy an occasional lass of malt or ardent liquors seel is their right, they must organise with a view to combat ting the fight being ma Je against them under the new local option law. . . These im n say that' bad the voters of the eounty been made to see the true; character of the law adopted, by the state under the initiative and ref erendum, when the same wa under con sideration, there would have . bees no q treat tan at all as to their having re fesed to aJopt so one-sided and unjust a: law. It is their intent to make a campaign of education between now and the election in November so that no one may be able to say he voted for the prohibitlonary measures without under standing what ia their meaning. ' Thev ay that if prohibition carries this fall it meads the absolute confis cation of thousands ' of dollars worth be enormous also. 4Thrre is no doubt at all that the county aal th incorjorated towns will Hse ft ereaf deal of revenue. Then tire law will be broken Onstaatly, so loo? I - . . . ' ' aur a law is not euneentaa to oy rge majority of the people, it .will be broken with impunity by men who are in erery way, law-abiding eillzcils so laf as the ten commandments are the foundation of law. . They will da here what has been done in other stifle , they will patronise blind pigs", hols rn the wall", and other illicit and illegal places, and three men say that the county and state are better off with this eort of ft traffic that Is proteeteJ, and yet that Is con trolled and polievd by law. It will cost more to enforce prohibi tion, they say than it costs to regulate the traffic, a at prejent conducted. Drug stores 'will be eMaldishe.1 as substitutes for the saloons all over the country. -V. ? Many other arguments will be ad vameel by tbe liquor dealers to show up the absolute, futility of attempting to letter conditions through prohibition. Tbe officers who will have charge of tbe work during-the coming campaign are A. O. Magera, President; HI Eckerhn, Treasurir; and an executive Kiramit tee consisting of M. Klinger; A. Cornoyer; P.

Then They File Petition for Submission -of Local Option to Voters Demand Clerk of the County Send Ont No tices that Election Will Be Held. It seems that the prohibitionists of Polk county slept on their rights and were caught napping. The result seems to be that the question of county local prohibition will not be submitted there at this election. T The county court had adjourned be fore the Prohibitionists filed their peti tions, and the law, it seems, may let them go without a remedy. Section 1 of tbe law requires that the county court shall order an election when tbe petition has been filed, and also re quires that the petition shall be filed thirty days before the election. This latter clause in the law seems to have been complied with but it also seems that the county court bad adjourned tbe day before the petition was filed sad there does not seem to be any pro- vison in the law requiring the county Court to call itself together in special session.' The question, however, may not de pend on this as it is probable that the clause in the law requiring the clerk of tbe county to place tbe question on tbe ballot will be considered as holding good. It Is said that failure of one official to perform his duty will not ex euse another for not performing his duty. The matter is ia tbe usual mud dle. -however, of all new laws. The question as to the duty of tbe clerk to state that prohibition would Iw voted for In the election notices wss submitted to District Attorney MeNary but be has not decided this point yet. However, he does not believe tbst there is ft clause requiring the clerk to state on the election notices that an election will be held where the eounty eourt ha ot called the election as required by the law. '- The matter will probablr have to be taken to the courts for settlement and ft may be that the Prohibitionists may be denied the privilege of voting for their pet measure this year in Polk county. .. . : -" MUST NOTIFY CONSULS.
