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

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 . Eng
land that have leen forwarded there
will be a good chance for holders to
find buyers, and he is of the opinion
that thore will be better prices offered

'The shipments made up to the pres

Mr. Winstanley. "and it takes money

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.

i LIQUOR MEN OROANESE.
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. P, Taikiugton; David Keil and W. K.
Davenport.
A LITTLE SLOW
PROniBITIONDSTS IN POLK COUN
TY WATT TILL COUNTY COURT
HAS ADJOURNED.
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. .. . : -"
