nop picking will bo pretty gener
ally on In m.o week. Though there is
a wide difference In tlie yards, some
are very late while others of the same
variety are much earlier.
Hop Lee, the Salem laundrytuan
has about 60 acres of fine hops that
are a good crop and have been culti
vated to rerfectlon. Pickers go Into
this yard today.
Some yards are picking near Inde
pendence. Parties were In Salem Saturday of
fering pickers 40 ceuts a box and could
not engage many at that.
Mr. V. Wattler, of Gervals, reports
hop yards looking fine In his neigh
borhood and picking will commence
this week. Most growers in his vicin
ity expect to pay 30 cents. He re
ports that the hops are some heayier
than last season and where the yards
are not In too lowland and surrounded
by timber they are comparatively free
from aphis and honey dew.
The Fletcher yard, near Salem. 16
reported to be one of the finest in the
county for Its size, and we are in
formed that the hops are about one
ttilrd heavier than last season. The
yard has been entirely cleared fo all
laterals and unnecessary leaves and
there are practically no lice in the
yard.
LANE COUNTY.
Special to The Journal. Aug. 23.
Hop picking will begin In the Linton
yard on August 23. This yard Is
clear of vermin. Picking begins today

gins In the Knickerbocker yards to
day. The M. A. Itltgood yard is being
picked. All these yards pay 30 cents
for picking a nine-bushel box.
AH the above yards report the hops
heavy and of lino quality.
There Is some talk of hop pickers
organ! zing a pickers' union.
Jefferson Review Says: In company
with F. W. Miller the writer visited
a number of hop yards In the vicinity
of Scio Tuesday. G. W. Phillips bus
two yards on which he has expended
much time, money and labor. His
yard in Scio looks as though be has
not only killed the lice but everything
else In the vicinity, while his yard on
the farm looks first rate. The last
we heard of Wash he was busy spray
ing with a mixture of tar weed and
dog fennel, and said if that did not
prove satisfactory ;he would "kill'em
with a club." E. J. Daley, has about 7
acres of fair hops and 4 or 5 acres
that appear worthless, The 'IQuigley
yard Is not very lousy and promises a
fair yield, as does also the Alexander
yard. Thos. Large & Son have the
best yard we found. Mr Large said
It has been V o lousy to hope to sure
by spraying, so ho sheeped it. The
yard Is now entirely clear of under
growth and leaves and a big crop will
be realized. It will also be line for
the pickers. F. J. Denney's yard is
comparatively free of lice, but the
yield will not be heavy, owing to
want of cultivation. Taken alto
gether, a fair estimate would be about
a Iwothlrd crop- Mr. Large Informed
us that he had no further fear of lice,
as he had a cinch on them, and his
yard proves the trutli.of his assertion
It would seem from this that the only
thing needed by the lfop grower to
l'2p his yard In shape Is a band of

Harrlsburg Review;
wright finished plcklhg his
of early hops. The yield was
and all were saved except about half
an acre on high ground. The pickers
are doing good work and have plenty
of fun evenings. Some of them will
try picking by tho Ipound in the
Spaugh yard as Mr. Cartwrlght's late
nops will not bo ready, to haryest be
fore next week. This yard averages
about 375 boxes per day.
Picking Is progressing nicely at the
Spaugh yard and the hops are being
saved In good condition. The late
hops will not ripen for a week or more
and Mr. Spaugh Is glvng them a thor
ough spraying. Whether this will be
of any benefit so late in the season Is
a matter of conjecture.
That lice are numerous cannot be
denied, but should tbcJwcather be fa
vorable the loss will be small.
OREGON CITY.
A number of tho hop growers are
making preparations to begin picking
a week from next Monday, and the
canvass for pickers lsbccounug lively.
It Is intimated in some quarters that
the price agreed upon for picking 30
cents a box will not bo satisfactory,
and that a considerable advance will
be demanded. It is probable that
this question will depend somewhut
on the cnnd'tlnnsprevailing when the
work shall be actually begun, and the
state of the weather, the quality of
the hops and their market price and
t.ho fatxiti-.T ..!- --kern will
enter into the consideration of tho
matter, it. is nnticcanio tnat some
growers are seeking to engage pickers,
while In other cases the pickers are
seeking enrollment in the favorite
yards.

Seattle, Aug. 23. Tho steamer
George E. Starr has arrlyed at her
dock from Dyea and Skaguay,and wa3
mot by a great crowd of people,lt hav
ing been reported that several men
from Klondike, having made their
wayjto salt water overland, were
on board. This renort nroved true.
but the greatest Interest centered In
the appearance of one paisenger, Ed
Thorp, who was expected to como on
the Portland, and who Is reported to
have somewhere In tho neighborhood
of $130,000 In Klondike gold In hispos
scsslon. Thorp and his companions talk, but
decline to tell the same story twice,
and it is next to impossible to get
anything definite from them. Willis
Thorp, father of Ed Thorp, recelycd a
letter a few days ago on tho Al-KI
from his son saying that he had $130,-
000 In gold.at least that Is what Willis
Thorp Is alleged to have told his
friends, but now Thorp and his three
companions on the Starr unite only on
one point In telling their story; and
that Is that they have $20,000 between
them.
A reporter found Ed Thorp a mo
ment after the steamer landed and be
gan to ply him with questions. At
this moment the. elder Thorp, fathei
of Ed. who seems to have an anti
pithy for newspapers In general since
the publication of Ills son's alleged
wealth, rushed up and sheuted:
"Here, Ed, don't talk to those fel-

you up. Don't say a word, como aud
go home." Then lie led his son away.
Four men on the steamer arc direct
from Dawson. They a.ro George L.
Stewart, Ed Thorp, Joe Wlntcihcld
and Jack Ross, and their Indian
guide, Schwatka. Stewart went to
tho Yukon In July, 1800, and located
a claim on Eldorado creek, a branch
of llonanzo creek, and about 10 miles
from Dawson.
When the party left Dawson, noth
ing had been heard of the .discoveries
on Stewart river. The p.irty oamo up
tho Yukon to Pclly river, which they
reached on tho 17th or July. From
there they came over tho Dalton trail
and reached Shakuay August 12. The
Dalton'.trall necessitates packing a dis
tance of between four and five hun
dred miles, and is used mostly for
driving stock over to tho Yukon.
When the discoveries were made on
the Klondike last year there was a
j stampede from Circle City, although
there are good paying mines at that
camp.
It Isthe intention or all tho party
to return to their mines at once on
tho next trlporthesteamer George E.
Stair, ir they can get ready. They
all came out for supplies. Mr. Stew
art said supplies ran short In the
spring and that Hour went up to $70
per sack. At present It is $12 ppr
hundred weight. Old miners on the
Yukon say that the transportation
company promise cyery year to hao
plenty of provisions for tho next
winter, but that Invarlbly tho supply

Will Force Wheat Higher.
Philadelphia, Aug. 23. The Press
will say:
Word has been received at this port
that the Russian government Is medi
tating the promulgation of a decree
prohibiting tho export of wheat,
owing to the small crops in Southern
Russia, and this report Is causing
some uneasiness to those Interested.
Tho effect of this contemplated ac
tion will be to create a strong active
demand ror tonnage In tho Black sea,
so that as much grain as possible may
be shipped before the prohibition
take9 effect. This In itself would be
calculated to force up freights on ves
sels loading here.
A well-known shipping man In this
city said that this contemplated ac
tion of the Russian government makes
It almost a settled fact that Europe
must look to the United States to fill
her orders for cereals. Jut what In
crease of business this meant for Phil
adelphia. New York and Baltimore
alone Is Incalculable. The exports of
grain from Philadelphia, which al
ready are the largest on record, will
reach figures In excess of what has
been the most sangulno expectation
or shippers.
Within tho next few weeks cargoes
or grain will be shipped from hero to
ports In the Adriatic sea, to St. Louis
