PORTLAND, Or Sept. 1The Lew is and dark livestock exhibit will open tomorrow under the most favorable aus pices and with one of the largest and most representative collections of fine and blooded stock that was ever placed on exhibition.. The list includes entries in ail classes of horses from the heavi est draft, standard or thoroughbred to the fancy saddle horse and Shetland ; ponies, including such fine specimens of draft and coach animals as the Cham pion French coach -owned by .Bocdig heimer' & Yannke of Salem, and the prize winning Clydesdales entered , by John Painter, also oi. fealem, which will enter into competition with the finest bred stock of the world. In all there are 2000 entries. The states represented are: Oregon, Califor nia, Washington,' Montana, British Co lumbia, Nebraska, Wyoming, Ohio, In diana, Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa. The moving spirit in the exhibit is M. D. Wisdom, who organized the show and is in charge.' The large num ber of entries is due largely to the la bors of Mr. Wisdbin, who spent two months ysiting the stock raising centers of the country in the interest of the show.

SUM IT EE, Or., Sept. 18. The days for sheep grating in this vicinity are altout over for the season. Owners of bands feeding on the Blue mountain ranges say that they must move their flocks some time before the commence ment of the stormy season, as it is al most an impossibility to make the ani mals travel when there is even a light fall of snow. For this reason tbey will atarrto remove their sheep in a few days. Most of them run on the lands near here, are from Morrow county, where they will be returned for the winter...- --V"-.

The agents of American houses have wired directions for the shipment of engines, pumps and other machin ery as soon as the order rescinding -the duties takes effect. This prompt act ion of the agents is necessary in order to land the goods at Cronstadt before the close ot navigation.

COMING ON FINE QUALITY OF OREGON HOP CROP WILL BREAK ALL PREV IOUS RECORDS, - Altholgh There Is Scarcity of Tickers ,ln Vallffy the Crop Is Being Harvest ed Well and Will Suffer None Sale of 1905 's Is Eeported. Although there is a shortage of pick ers in this seet ion of the valley it is not of a serious nature in any respect and the hop harvest is going on under very favorable auspices and there seems no question that the crop will be har vested in good shape1 and that the qual ity will be the lest in- the history of the industry, with the' possible excep tion of the year 189C In most yards the yield . is coming down almost as well as was expected early in the sea son, but in others, which are the ex ception rather than the rule, the yield is lighter, than predicted, which. condi tions, taken together, insures about an average crop, taking into consideration the increased acreage. The. weather could not have been more ideal for maturing the crop' and the hops that are being picked now are in -prima condition .aud, , if properly picked, dried and baled, are certain to be of a bright yellow color and -strong and will bring the top price in the market with a premium. - Many of the growers, that is the small growers and those in the district north of this city, are through picking now and their pickers are moving into other yards, where there is a shortage, and -before th-hop pieking season, ends there will be a plenty for all and a surplus. From reports received there seems to) have been little or no trouble with the pick ers, -generally speaking. There was some slight differences in a few yards, in some the piekers complained about picking by weight, while in others they objeeted to' picking by the box. These troubles have all been adjusted, how ever, and, so far as is known, every thing is running smoothly and all are satisfied. Some growers are having trouble with " dirty ' pickerSv" in the hop language, but in cases where they refuse to pick clean the growers, in their determina tion to have an excellent article, will not tolerate their services any longer than it takes to get rid of them. There is nothing that can injure the prospects of the eroo now except that thc5 rains set in and keep up continuouslywhich may drive the pickers from the yards, and frost, a heavy visitation of the lat ter of which would be most serious. Neither condition, however, is likely to transpire under present conditions of the weather. There is nothing , doing in the market at present, as there are no offerings of 1904's, and the -buying of futures has hardly begun yet, al thougb'it is said, some hops are offer ing at various prices. Krebs Bros., local hop dealers, have bought five hun dred and forty bales of hops from T. Livesleyi for which they paid, it is though, about 15 cents. The hops are of the 1905 crop. " Homer Goulet of Brooks expected to harK twelve hundred pounds to the acre of hops when they came-down ; with only 640. Krebs Bros, report also that their Brooks yards, which they expected to yield about nine hundred to a. thou sand pounds, will vield but five hundred f 44.': i.'- . 1. 4 . .- 3L. -' i.e. : Ai .-.: - 3 --- ' 4' ".-T-.-.t j? -. - . afr.- nvy ERTS pounds to the acre. Alex. Harold of Brooks reports hops coming ' down about 1J200 pounds to the acre. Gilbert & Patton, at over -. 1,000, at; both the Kola and Lincoln yards. J Preferred to Pick by Box. ' Thfe Silverton Appeal says: J. Klop fenstine, who had arranged to pick his hops this season by weight, changed his plans after a few days' picking and had new tickets made with which to supply the pickers during the remain der of the harvest. He says the hops weighed on an average of four poinA' per box over measure, and he preferred to pick by measure ia as much as the pickers were just as well satisfied. We have heard others raLte the same ob jection, Out of the many who favored the method of picking by weight, when it was first suggested, are A. Wolf k Son, among the largest growers in this vi cinity, and it is understood that they are picking this season by measure. G. D.l Bowen, Peter Cox. Haberlys and many (other of the large growers are ufdag the old method and it seems to viva tiAtA Mt1.f41.tiAn ftft ti. r.ibnr so far as we are able to learn. I Some of the growers in thia vicinity jlxc picking by measure; scales could not be obtained, and from all reports we judge that two thirds of the grow ers ia this part of the, country did not adopt the method of picking hops by weight, notwithstanding all the talk ia favor of that method, of gathering the crop. .. -! Washington Hop News. -. Hop picking is now well under way in the Yakima valley. The season is from five to ten days later than last year, but the growers will have their work completed in ample time for the state fair. - A large number of the growers have a force 'of men in their yards,, while a number of tbem will not commence till next Monday and some will delay till the middle of the week. Henry II. SVhott has, had a force of men in , his yard in the Selah all week. He says his crop will )e equal to last year and will be first class. The yield, he says, will be as heavy, but the weight will be a trifle lighter. Mr. Schott has contracted all his hops to be Shipped direct from his yard to east ern brewers. He secures 19 cents for the most of them. " , ' The Moxetf Company. F. K. Hiseook, H. B. Scudder, George Ker and others of the Moxee; have Com'meneed picking. They have not got far enough ahead to determine the crop, but they say it is fine "and will average that of last vea'r. George Bosdet, C. S. Mead, Jon athan Baldwin and a number of others have a force of pickers in their fields. In this district some of the yards were attacked with lice and are not showing up equal to the other yanls mentioned. The crop as a whole, judging from present indications, will be of extra quality this yearY The production in Yakima for 1904 was not as large as bad lieen predict; ed. Some buvers have often said ithere were between 21,000 and 22,000 bales. An estimate made this morning will fall 3MNI bales or morn short. Agent Meeks of the Northern Pacific has handled through his office for shipment on which bills of lading were made out 15,427 bales. About thirty bales, he estimates, have been shipped to Ru lyn, Ellensburg and Walla Waila. with out bills of lading. This would run the total hops shipepd to 15,457 bales; There is variously "estimated to be between 2,KK and 2,800 bales in the hands of the growers. One buyer esti mates 2,K00 bales, while some growers place the estimate at 2,30. It is fair to say that there are probably 2,500 bales in the hands of. Yakima growers. Allowing that the highest estimate of the buyers is eorreet this would make a total of 8.257 bales for 194. An estimate of the holding was given b' one of the bif growers this morn ing. Mead, GOO; ILarvey, 50(3; Seudder, 2IM); Mitchell, 50; Canenter, 00; Bald win, UM); Winchester, 75; Bosdet, 173; Rowe, 67; Davidson, 100. This foots up a total of 1125. Added to the; 15, 457 bales shippel by rail would make a total of 17.3S2. Some of the estimates for the J9'5 crop run to 25.000. if the yards aver age up to the reports there will prob ably l.c letwe4-n 18,0 and 19,fMM) biles. This is the conservative estimate for the Yakima crop for 1905. -Santa Clara Republican.

Confirma tory of the reports sent out in Associat ed Press dispatches for almost a week, that i feverish activity existed in rail road work betweeu Vancouver, Wash., and the Cascades of the Columbia, President Howard Elliott . of the .North- rn Pacific railway, through Assistant General Passenger Agent Charlton of Portland, today made public the fact that a road, to be built and operated jointly by the Northern Pacific and tha Great Northern, is to be constructed down the north bank of Jbe Columbia river from Pasco, Wash., at a point where the Northern Pacific, crosses th Columbia river in eastern Washington, to Vancouver, Wash., and from the lat ter place, spanning the Columbia and Willamette rivers to Portland. The announcement is the most significant since the news of the completion of the Northern Pacific, the first transcontin ental road to enter Portland almost a ! quarter of a century" ago. implementing i'resident Elliott's announcement, As- 4 sistant General Passenger Agent A. D. Charlton said: It is estimate that, about two years will be required to put the road in operation. The distance from Pasco to Portland is a little more than two hundred miles, and the un official estimates- place the cost at ap--proximately $12,500,000. close, and reports indicate that the yield is better than was expected.

This is practically j the same as last year's jcrop, and is - made on the basis of a 20" per cent shortage, as th acreage is larger this season than last. Jt Is believed that the .shortage is much less here than in. other sections o'f the" state, the output being held up by irrigation, a factor that will figure still more prominently in Josephine county's bop yield in the future.
