The contest in New York City- is not
of 3o much . interest as was promised
earlier in the campaign. The Hearst
morality boom appears to have found
its level, an .1 it is tot expected to cut
much of a figure in the result, though
there -are some who preJiet that the
young candidate on the municipal own
ership ticket will show up letter than
is generally expected. lint the re-election
of Mayor MeOlellan appears to
1' a foregone conclusion. The failnre
of the; Republicans to fiat a cnroli-

M-easion has apparently left the party1
without, a ehane of winning. Jt is be
lieved that lUstrict Attorney Jerome,

In 8-in Francisco the municipal con
t'tst very nifich resembles that in the
Quaker city. The fight is against the

on the city for the past four years.
The fusionists ftelie-ve that their ticket
has a good .chance to win out.
In indianapolirt the issue are very
much the same, though the battle is

DECLINE IN HOP PRICES.

One Grower and Buyer Expresses
the Situation.
'The

He is also a buyer and expresses the
real condition that now exists loth in
(this country and Knrope.
'Prices are going downward ami u
is" hard to tell where, they will stop,"
he continued. "I have been told that
a ris is iwissible hut I cannot see now
it will Ik. The conditions in the busi
ness today are such that we cannot ex
i.i'ct anything else. There are more
Imps than we can dispose of. Brewers
are taking advantage of the conditions
ami, -are n4 ordering to any extent.
They paid a high price last, year and
I r.resume ther want to break even and
will pay the lowest prices possible, this
year. '
What appears to be the net na Con
dition in the hop market is expressed in
the words above quoted. The? speaker
is a i akima man who has been in tne
hop growing businesa for years and at
present ho haa a large amount of hops
to sell, lie also bnvs hois for certain
eastern brewers, and dois not care to
have his nanie mentioned, in this con
nection.
Hop prices have 1-een steadily drop
ping since last spring. Tday the high
est price offered for. coast hops is l--4
eents. As low as H cents is lieing pail
for the 1JX1.1 product. Itaby hops are
bringing as low as 6 cents and old
hoi mi are not worth very much. About
7 or 8 cenis is all that is offered at

Pi.l you notice the crowds on Salem's
streets yesterday All the stores did
a -good business. The increasing iopn
lation of the country is making Salem
business ln-tter.
The Salem broom works makes as
good an article as can be manufactured
anywhere; They are sold at as loyv
priees as inferior brooms made else
where. It is the duty of every resident
of Salem to ask for Salem brooms at
the grocery si ores, and to take no oth
ers. This "is the way to build up Salem.
How can we expect new manufacturing
industries if we fail to patronize the
ones we already have!
The people who raise hops had plenty
of monev last year, if they sold in time.
The iM-ople who are in the dairying
business had money every month last
year. The same this year. It will be
the same next year. This country need
more dairying. More poultry. Mor
diversified "and intensified agriculture.
Talking about poultry. This indus
try, already large and growing, could
1h. stimulated a great deal by a firm
in Salem that would make a specialty
of handling and shipping poultry prod
ucts one that would ship dressed poul
try to Portland, Seattle, San Francisco
and other cities. The farmers of Doug
las : county, especially around Oakland
and Wilbur, ship carloads of turkeys
dnring Thanksgiving and holiday times.
The shipments run np into the tens of
thousand of dollars every year. This
has Wen stimulated and largely built
up by one firm at Oakland. The same
could be done here in Salem. There i
a good opening Tor a man or company
of men.; understanding the business,
right here in Salem. It would be slow
work" at first," perhaps. The farmers
would have to lc encouraged to raise
more poultry. But they would rise to
the occasion, if the matter were proper-j
ly handled. In this way Salem might
become the Petaluma of Oregon.
.;'T'
Amonj? other things, patronize the
Capital Business college. It is as good
as any on this coast, or in the whole
country.. The cost of living is cheaper
in Salem than elsewhere. Help to bring
this fact before outsiders needing a bus
