Offer of Twenty-Five Cents Is Received But Declined- Growers jConfldextj 'That Conditions Warrant Their Hold ing Out for Figure Agreed! Upon. (From Saturday's Dailjy.) "Nothing less than 30 cents will satisfy us," remarked Henry Vande vort to a Htatesmaa representative yes terday in discussing the woojl market, anent the recent pool which jhas been formed and is still in existence. "We have just -received a bona fide offer of 20 cents from a local agent ef a Port land Arm, which, of course, we saw fit to refuse, and we will continue to bold out for our price for a reasonlde length of time, and we have no occasion for uneasiness in our position atjthis time. - There is every indication that the priee will reach our figure before the elose of the week, and I firmly believe that the upward tendency of the market will ,not cease until in the neighborhood of CO cents before the clip is out of the growers' hands. j "The wool is being sold pretty rap idly, however, and at the Irate it is going now it will not be loig until it is eleaned up in the valley. It is too Lad that the growers did. sot realize the situstion fully in due time to take advantage of it before some of them unloaded, but there are few pf the val ley growers who-will not profit by the boom. It is simply a question of sup ply and demand, and, the surplus stock being entirely exhausted, th manufac turers must have the product at any price within reason.

A LECTURE ON ELECTRICITY (Eugene Guard). Electricity commenced its career at the breaking morn of creation, with few passengers on board, and has con tinued its course with increasing speed and growing glory down to the present moment. It now travels with the bril liancy and rapidity of the lightning's blaze, and even compels the very light nings to speak in a familiar voice . to man. The chariot of science is de stined to continue its majestic course, in duration coevel with our globe. Genius is supremely higher than talents, and no man of genius has ever opposed electricity in its wonderful workings. This shows that if it was considered unworthy of doing all that is claimed for it that it would fall by the wayside and be discarded the same as all worth less, things that are cast aside. Dr. Darrin, at the Hotel Smeede, is an ad vanced thinker on the application of electricity for the cure of disease and to prove his skill we enumerate many cures performed by bim, and wcrdd suggest to the thinking minds tbat to day eores are being performed by this subtle agency that seemed impossible ten years ago. . Among the many successfully treated may be mentioned ex-Senator Georges Chandler's son, of Baker City, who had heart trouble and general debility; cured and gained thirty pounds. F. II.

Is to Tie Up Entire Crop of i 1905 And Withhold From Market., Movement Conceived by Krebs Hop Company, Largest Growers in World, . Tor Purpose of Self -Protection Front Influence of ''Bear" Element. A corporation, composed of all of the growers of Oregon Washington, Cali fornia f and, perhaps England, ; is the next move of the leading growers of this city, "for the purpose of self -protection against . the manipulation of the hop market hf the element known as 'bears,' " If this proposition is car ried through to a successful termina tion, it will mean the complete tying op of the 1905 crop of hops entirely and placing it entirely at the disposal of a committee of growers to be known as the "sales committee." This move was eoneeived in the mind of Krebs Bros., of this city, the most extensive ,hop growers in the world, representing 4524 I acres of hops this year, and it will be communicated to the growers of all the states mentioned, as well as those of England, by means of a circular letter, which is being sent in all directions at ' the present time. A eopy of this letter has also been sent to all the leading newspapers of the country, bo that it will come out simultaneously In today's issue. This is probably jhe most giganiie scheme that has ever been promulgated in the history of the bop business, and, if the organization is effected and its object achieved, the realizing of 40 cents per pound for the 1905 crop, it will mean millions of dollars to the foundation of the hop industry the growers. To Form Corporation. The estimated yield for Oregon this year ranges from 100,000 to 120,000 bales, and the iyield flast year aggre gated, for alj countries named in the leading paragraph, J 225,000 bales, which, at 185 pounds per bale, would bring a total of $22,000,000. The prop osition is, according to the letter, to form a corporation under the laws of this state, with every grower a mem ber, with a full set of officers, a board of directors to be composed of growers exclusively, and a eofnmUtee of three, to be known as 'the selling committee. The full text of the letter, as given herewith, follows: . "Dear Sir: We bee to call your at tention to a matter of vital importance to all the hop growers of the United Kiates. We are confronted with a con dition of affairs which, if permitted to thrive untrammeled, will ruin our in dustry. We have, been informed by re liable authority, that the bears or short sellers, have sold annroximately 100, 000 bales of -the 1905 crop, ranging in priee from 15 to 20 cents per pound, delivered. These bales have been made in the face of a market barren of stocks and before the vines which will produce he 1903 crop had made 'their appearance. This plainly indicate! that they aro selling our product at ridiculously low prices, regardless of the' statistical position; relying .on what they call the stupidity or lack of business sense of the growers 'to secure their product, at a irice which will show a profit to them. Are we going to remain idle and permit the short seders tovcontinually depress the mar ket by cunning manipulation f If they are successful in securing the hops at their own price when the supply of the worm indicates, a; shortage, then what will happen when climatic conditions are good and Nature will yield a boun tirul eropf Being conversant with the intelligence of the hop growers, we pre dict that such a thing will not be per mitted to continue much longer. Now is the time when the dormant energy of the growers should awaken and rise to, the emergency and show that they are capable of marketing their crop on a business basis..: Do you realize that you can be the power upon the throne; whereas, now you are only the shadow behind 'it? Unlike other farm prod ucts, the hop-growing industry .is eon fined to a small area, and it is possible to predict the probable yield two or three months before 'the crop is har vested. Supposing one firm controlled two-thirds of all the hop crop of Amer ica to be grown in 1905; what do you think the price would be f Do you not . think that 30 cents, 40 cents or even 50 cents would be as easily, se cured as 15 cents when the-' crops are held by numerous individuals! If so, why not form a corporation, or eombi1 nation, which will accomplish the same results. At an early date we shall call a meeting of the Oregon hop growers to discuss this matter and arrive at some definite conclusions. In the mean time, we wish to submit the following suggestions for your considerations: "Th hop ) growers should form a corporation, under the laws of the state of Oregon, with some or all of the following points embodied: ' '(1) The officers and board of direc tors must be elected by the hop-growers who ars stockholders of the corpo ration. . ' ' ' ' ' (2) Each grower to have a vote In the election of the board of directors and officers. ' i : - ": "(3) No one engaged in the buying or selling of hops shall be- eligible to be a member of the board of directors or hold an official position; all such of fices to be filled by men selected from the growers. -. f) : ; "(4) The board 'of directors to have the power of employing three men who shall constitute a selling committee. - . . "5)a meeting should be held oa the first Monday of each month, and at that meeting the stockholders shall have the power, by vote, to ehange the board f directors or officers if deemed advisable or necessary to do so. "(6) The selling committee should be empowered to hire expert hop grad ers to assist them in determining the quality of each lot entered iA the cor poration.' - 4 , (7) Each stockholder to receive, according to the' quality, of his hops, I hi oro rata of the proceeds derived from the sale of the hops. "(8) The salaries of the officers and the members of the selling committee to be fixed by a vote of the stockhold ers. "V -.';. "In pun opinion, it is absolutely nee essary,for the self -protection of the nop growers of each state, to combine; because there has been formed in the past year a powerful corporation for the purpose of raising large quantities or hops and manipulating the market. All admit that the stocks of the world have never been so denleted as at pres ent; and the growing crop in England, as well as in America, indicates an other short crop. Why not take advan tage of the situation and exact a priee for your product which is commensu rate with the production and consump tion f At a glance yon can see the vast benefit to be derived from such united action. Yon can, through the corpora tion, sell your hops directly to the con sumer or to th emerchan'ts and there by eliminate three or four commissions whieh are being paid on every lot be fore it reaches the consumer. You can regulate the price according to the pro duction and requirements. For exam nl ran onld ask 40 cents for the 1905 crop, and yon would have no difficulty in obtaining it, as the conditions jus tify soeh a price. Of course, yon eould get even more, bnt no one desires to be oppressive, although sueh: a thing be Klo.

Years Ago, He Crossed the Plains to Oregon In 1845, Whore He Has Uved And Practiced Profession. PORTLAND, May 26. Thomas Ben ton Killin, a prominent lawyer of this city and state died today. He was a pioneer to Oregon 'in 1845. Thomas Benton Killin was born in Springfield, Illinois, May 10, 1839. His father, John Kiiim, was born in Pennsylvania in 1792, and bis mother, Frances (Ulam) Killin, in 1813. They removed to Illinois, where Mr. Killin was superintendent of the construction o the Illinois and Michigan canal. In 1845 they crossed the plains to Oregon, bringing with them the following named children: Martha, Thomas Ben ton and George W. They were from April to October in crossing the plains. While on. the Platte river they were eorraled by the Indians, but the pres ent of an ox purchased their release. They left their team at The Dalles and made rafts and on them eame to the Cascades. After getting past the lat ter place, they came in boats down the river and wintered on the Tualitin plains. Fromhere they went to Linn county and, took'a donation claim and raised a crop in the summer of 1846, their nearest neighbor being then twelve miles away. Next.' they re moved to a place near Oervais, in Ma rion county, and in March, 1847, they came to -the donation claim in Clacka mas county on which T. B. and an other of their sons resided. They traded a yoke of Oxen for 640 acres of choice land, the only improveemnt', on it being a cabin. This property now has two fine farm residences upon it and is worth $35,000. Here the honored father lived and prospered for twenty y.ars. nis death occurred in October, 1867. He was a thoroughly honest and reliable man, was a Democrat before the war; -knew Abraham Lincoln at Spriwjfield ; became a Republican and was a strong Union man. Thomas Benton wa the third-born in his father's family, and was six year's old when he arrived in Oregon.' He was sent to the primitive district schools of Clackamas count- until he was sixteen years of age, when he struck out to make his own way in the world. When the great civil war was inaugurated be became deeply inter ested in the cause of the Union, and when the call for volunteers became most urgent, in 1S63. he enlisted April 21 in Company G, First Oregon Cav alry. , They served a year at Fort Van couver, was afterward stationed among the 8nake Indiana, and in April. 1866, he was honorably discharged, having been promoted to first sergeant. Returning to . his honre, "Mr." Killin purchased a fourth-section of the do nation claim from his father. Decem ber 3, 1867, he married Miss M. A. Adair, who was born in Illinois Janu ary 8, 1849, daughter of William B. Adair. The Adair family came west in 1852. After their marriage Mr., and Mrs. Killin- began life "on" a: farm, where they lived nntil removing to Portland, where, Mr. Killin died. To this , union were born two children. May, the wife of Wallace Da rant, of Wnodburn. and Benton. i . Politically, Mr. Killin was a Repub lican. He was an enterprising and ca pable citizen, and heand his family are highly esteemed by, all who knew them. ... - ' The rate at which the Zulus can run in an emergency is astonishing.

ADS BRING QUICK RESULTS WILL ORGANIZE FRUIT GROWERS CONTEMPLATING ESTABLISHJtENT OF CO-OPERATIVE CANNERY. Special Committee of Ten Members of Fruit Growers' Union Appointed to Solicit Stock to Amount of $5,000 for purpose Site and Building Selected. (from eunuays uwj.j AH indications point to the early establishment of another fruit cannery ia thia city in the near future. This venture will be. in the nature of a joint stock company, to be formed by the fruit growers of this district, and the plant will be operated upon the co-operative plan. Definite steps in this direction were taken by the Mar ion County Fruit Growers' Union, at a special meeting,-which waa held at the city hall yesterday afternoon for the express purpose of receiving the report of a special committee composed . of W. C. Price and George Weeks upon the feasibility of the proposition. t ill is committee was appointed at a special meeting of the union two weeks ago. Since its appointment this com mittee made a trip to Bpringbrook, Yamhill county, where- a similar can nery has been established and is in operation,-for the purpose of making! an inspection pnu invnugiMuu. uv committee was very favorably im pressed with the success being achieved by the Yamhill ' county plant, which was established upon the same basis as that which the Marion county growers propose to organize, and reported to the union in the following manner: "Wethe committee appointed to in vestigate the Springbrook cannery, beg to submit the following report: We found the Springbrook cannery located on the railroad, with good side track accommodations, two miles north of Newberg, in a little village consisting of one general store and the cannery and dryer, called , Springbrook. We found the manager to be very courte ous and obliging gentleman, willing to give us all the desired information, and whom we thought' was the right man in the right place. The farmers in the community are raising about 300 acres of small fruits, consisting of about 200 acres of cherries and 100 acres of strawberries and otner small fruits, and they are so well pleased with their re turns from the cannery that there will be a great increase in acreage within the next year. "We found that instead of a co operative that they had formed a joint stock company with a capital stock of 5,000, divided into 100 shares of $50 each, all of whieh are paid up. "The cannery consists of a building 60x90 feet, with platforms. It is oper ated with a" thirty-five horse power boiler. "The building was completed and ready for business for $3,500, leaving a surplus of $1,500 to commence business with. It has a capacity of 5,000 cans per day and can be increased to 10,000 cans by the addition of another capper. "This report we submit " for your rejection or approval as you may deem proper. " The members of the committee, were also present at the meeting and made additional verbal reports -upon their findings and conclusions. It developed during the discussion that the Spring brook. cannery, which is jointly owned by the fruit growers, pays 4 cents per pound for Royal Anne cherries, 4 cents for strawberries and Loganberries, 2 cents fcf black cherries, 2. cents for blackberries, and $10 per ton for grav enstein apples. This is a higher price than is paid by the regular canneries and all concerned make a better profit. After due consideration and much discussion the sentiment of the meeting was a unit in favor of organization and a committee of ten members was ap pointed, to solicit a subscription of stock up to the amount of $5,000, the amount of the capital stock, the plan arranged by the meeting, being upon the basis of 200 shares at the rate of $25 each. , The company has in view an excellent site with four lots and buildings, centrally located, and which is offered at a reasonable price. The committee is bf the opinion that $2,500 wiir secure the building, site, etc., and thoroughly equip the plant with ma chinery ready for operation. Another meeting will be called when a sufficient amount of stock has been subscribed when, it is oelieved, definite steps will be taken toward the establishment of the new institution.
