The Citizens' Light t Traction Com
pany yesterday filed an answer to the
: complaint brought against it by G. D.
Sprague, for the alleged, damaging of
Sprague Y buggy through the careless
ness of a street ear motorman. In the
answer the company denies each and
every charge made against it and as
serts that the accident was doe solely
to the carelessness or the plaintiff. De
fendants, ask that the action be dis
missed and that they be awarded ex
penses.
Business Also
The members of the senior elass in
the College of Liberal Arts were roy
ally entertained Thursday evening at
the home of Miss Lila Swafford. -Miss
Swafford is the only young lady mem
ber of the class. The evening's event
was in the nature of a business meeting
as well as social. A elass ring, motto,
and flower were chosen and it was de
rided that the caps and gowns should
be worn on a certain day of each week
beginning with the month of May. This
latter although a time-honored college
custom, has never before been observed
at Willamette and is one more evidene
that the "Old School" is advancing

Dies at Son's
Mrs. Rebecca 'J. Arnold Lehman died
at the home of her son, U. J. Lehman,
on Church street, early Saturday morn
ing, after a lingering illness induced
by a cancerous condition of the body.
M rs. Lehman was born near Canton.
Ohio, September 14. At the age of
six years her parents removed to De
fiance county in that state, where she
grew to womanhood. In her 23d year
the married John B. Lehman, and to
this union were born six sons and three
daughters. In 1869 Mrs. Lehman
moved to Benton county, Iowa, . and in
1S73 came to Oregon, settling on a
farm fire miles from Salem, where she
lived until 1902, -when she moved to
Nez Perce, Idaho. Besides a husband,

Snowbanks to Sunshine
Dr. H. J. Fountains' arrived in Salem
yesterday from Redwood Falls, Minn.
When he left his home state on Tues
day night last he came an ay from a
eountry where the thermometer reeis
tcred fifteen degrees eiow. xero and
the snow was drifted ip over the roofs
of some, of the houses. When he ar
rived in Salem yesterday he found
beaut if al, balmy sunshine, with the
people out making gardens an ideal
spring day. The thermometer in Minne
JJts. has been down to forty-two to
fifty-two degrees below sero during
fart of the past winter. Dr. Fountain
has been a resident of that state for
irty-four years, but he will not be
80 ny longer. ' Having 1eme e
qiWDted with the Oregon climate, he
tumks it would be a crime against his
better Judgment to remain away from
this heaven of comfort, as compared
with his former residence. He will
buy property here and make Salem or
its vicinity his home, for Ml remaining
days and there are not oxen enough
to pull him away. Mrs. Fountain is
a sister of Mrs. L. M. Baker, of South
Salem. Dr. Fountain has ben a suc
cessful showman. He visited Salem
last summer and he wanted to see the
city and eountry in the winter time.
Hence his present visit. The kind of
winter -he found here -yesterday, as
compared with the kind he left last
Tuesday, settled It.
Handsome Home Manufactures -
There is being displayed, in the front
show room . of the House Furnishing
Company, on Liberty street, the pulpit
furniture for the new Congregational
church, consisting ofBible stand and
three chairs. This pulpit furniture is
attracting a good ; deal of attention,
and favorable comment and more es
pecially oo account of the fact that it
is of borne manufacture. The wood
work was done at the sash and door
factory of Frank M. Brown, and the
upholstering by the House Furnishing
Company. It is of solid oak, quater j
aawed. and upholstered in black' leath
er. It looks very rich and beautiful.
It would be hard to imagine a hand

where. Salem has reason to be proud
of her home manufactures, and to wish
all engaged therein here in the home
city increased business and prosperity.

HOP MARKET FOE THE PRESENT
; SHOWS VEST FEW FEATURES
OT INTEREST. '
Boued Down to Battle Royal Between
t Buns and Bears, With Growers
Standing Pat for Higher Prices
Deny Statement of Portland 3uyers.
(From Saturday's Daily;)
There appears to be little doing in
the. local hop. market. Very few sales
have, been reported of late, and these
are scattering, and at prices ranging
from 26 to 30 cents. There is a wide
divergence of opinion among the buy
' as to tho future prospects and no
intelligent : predictions can be made.
The bears assert that nothing farther
eaa be expeeed In the way of an ad
vance during this season, as the brew
ers seem Co De pretty well stocked rp
and are independent in a measure, while
the bulls still insist that there is a
heavy shortage in supply and that,
consequently, it as only "a matter of
time until the brewers will have to
accede to the, growers' demands in or
der to secure sufficient hops to carry.
on ineir -i hi sin ess. 'the .market seems
to have. sTfteU down to a stru.Tirle be
tween' the bulls and bears, and, as the
growers are holding firm at better tl-an
30 cents, it 48 simply a question of
whether the growers continue to hold
on or elect to let go of their holdings.
Secretary James Winstanley, of .he
Oregon Hop Growers' Association, yes
terday received a telegram from Isaac

TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 23, 1903.
Mr. James ) Winstanley, Salem, Or.
. L'Dear Sir: We confirm telegram
sent you today as per transcript here
with. Tho growers of England have
been working on this pool for the past
six weeks. Owing to the stringent
laws existing there against combina
tions and trusts, it has bejjif' a hard
thing to actHwnplish, but thoy have fin
ally succeeded in their efforts. Twenty--five
thousand bales have already been
withdrawn ? from the market, and, as
our cable states, more will come into
the pool. This certainly should have a
good effect on our market before long.
"Referring now to the statement in
the Portland Journal by some 'bear'
that 10,000 bales of 'American hops
had been rc-shipped to this country,
will say that this is an absolute false-
hool. Geo. W. Bird & Co., of London,
under date of February 4, wrote Messrs.
Herman Klaber & Co. of this eity as
follows: 'Theentire stock of Pacifies
on the London market today is 4,000
to 5,000 bales. The balance of the ex
ports from your eountry were sold to
arrive and went into the hands of
brewers immediately upon reaching this
side;' There has been but one ship
ment of American hops from London to
the United 'States this season, consist-
line iDiicu oiaies mm suamui,
'
were of
be used in England, and were bought
by an American . short seller to fill a
cheap sale.
. "For. some time we have been trying
to fathom the motives of the 'boars'
in Oregon in continually crying the
market down, as none of them have sold
short, according to their own state
ments. They have nothing - at stake and
it certainly seems to us that they
should prefer to see the growers, from
whose labor they make their bread and
butter, prosper, in "preference to the
speculator who has sold short. We do
not blame the eastern dealer for selling
short if he sees fit and for trying . to
foree the market' down. He at least
risks his money. But we do.Wame the
local buyers, working on commissions,
for - aiding them to accomplish their
purpose. They will make a commission
on the "Oregon hops sooner or later and
it can only 4c natural enmity they feel
toward the grower which makes Utem
exult at his lose.: It is rnot, necessary
for us to mention ' any names. Every
body knows the buyers who are pur
suing the policy referred tosbove,snd
we believe that'.the erowera of, Oregon
would be better off if they refused to
my
... . ,r i
even give samples to these", people in

them. Yours troljvv

FRUIT CROP IN DANGER.
If
Present Weather Continues Long
That Product Is Endangered
by Frost.
Awhile the people -of this city, county
andstate, that is a' goodly portion of
them, are - enjoying the bright, warm
sunshine and the frefh, springlike air
of these balmy days, they, little think
of the vast amount of damage which
might be inflicted upon the fruit prod-
Iuct or this vauey it itr continues mucn
longer. Already the buds of the fruit
trees have begun to show signs of
swelling, and, if the sap rises and
there should - come a late frost, it is
apt to damage the fruit crop to the
extent of thousands of dollars. Al
ready tie warm sunshine' has had the
effect of bursting the buds on some
varieties of trees, and one or two more
days of the bright, clear weather may
start the sap in . the fruit trees. A
sprig was exhibited upon .the streets
of this . city yesterday upon which
leaves bad sprouted to the length Of
about two inches. '
L. T Reynolds, who is a well-known
authority upon fruit culture and the
effects of the weather upon the trees,
stated yesterday afternoon that,' while
the present warm weather may not
harm the fruit crop any, it certainly
bodes no good for it and hoped for
the good of the eountry and the fruit
growers that it would not -'continue
longer. He says the sap should not be
gin earlier than the latter part of
March or early April, as the prune
trees bloom naturally about the middle
of the. latter month, and " if earlier
there is danger 0f a killing frost. The
latest date upon which a killing frost
occurred to his knowledge was May 9,
about ten years ago, and then it did
irreparable damage to the fruit crop
and the trees -i- as ; welL Ordinarily
there are no heavy or damaging frosts
after the middle ; of March. ,

KETBALL TRAM JUST NOSES
OUT A VICTORY,
Aggies" Are Hard Losers and Make
Local Bex Oo Some to Win It Was
Sweet . Victory After Last Week's
Defeat Bis Crowd Present.
(From Saturday's Daily.)
By. a score of 19-1 the Willamette
University basketball team last night
defeated the team' from O. A. C. in the
swiftest, fiercest and most closely eon-
estea game, witnessed in oaiem this
year. '
The" local boys went . info the game
with the determination of retrieving
their defeat of one week ago, and they
did it. The eore does not indicate the
real superiority of the Willamette
team, for they simply' outclassed he
"farmers" in swift, Sure and effective
passing and team work from start to
finish, and it was only The, hard luck in
basket throwing which prevented a
one-sided score in favor of the home
team. '
The large gym. was packed with an
enthusiastic fhrong, in which were
found supporters of both teams, and
wiuch cheered every successful play to
tne echo.
As waa expeeted, the playing of Pol
lard and Judd greatly strengthened
Willamette, for their playing was not
only good, but lent confidence to the
others. .
Judd opened the fireworks about
three minutes after the first toss-up,
and from that time on Willamette
maintained a lead of four points up to
within, a few 'seconds of the close of
tEfc gJTme, when O. A. C. scored
couple of baskets in quick succession
and were one ahead. It was only for
an instant, however, for Judd soon
lagged a neat field gqal and the game
was won. , ' j
At the close of the first "half the
score was 10 to 6 in fsvor of Will&tn
ette. When the last half opened
was again Judd'e time to open a score
account, which he did by tossing
neat one from near th middle of the
field. f
Every man on the local team played
good tall, but Judd was high man, hav
ing scored. ight points. .Simpson re
ceived an lnjuiy to his knee near the
close of the game and was forced to go

The O'A. C, men played good indi

work seemed deficient.
Although the game was exceedingly
fast, it was not. very rough. Many
fouls were called and it appeared to
