He said that King county was thoroughly
organized, and would present the name OF
Governor Watson C. Squire. and il was
time that Pierce county take some definite
action in uniting upon . Pierce county
man.
B. w Conner thought that such = small
number of Republicans should not try TO
dictate q choice OF senator for sew
eral thousand Republican voters of
Pierce county, and that the matter should
be left 70 the representatives themselves
Judge Elwooa Evans offered the follow
ing. which was adopted:

that the Republican senators and representa-
sives TO the nsxf legislature be respectfully re-
auesGei and urged to vote IS unit for that can
didate for the United states senate from la

This evidently did not suit good many
present. and Mr.. Reed thought that there
was too much good senatorial timber in
Pierce county TO act too hastily.
Fremont Cambell believed in uniting
upon some man. King county was
thoroughly organized and unit for Squire.

Hops to London I'm Thirty Days-Ths
Market Jnpromising.

PUYALLUP, Oct. 23-E. Meeker & Co.
have today been notified of the arrival in
London OF the steamer Montana with their
first consignment of hops for the English
market. These hops left Puyallup on Sep
tember ~ by special tain and reached Bal
timore September 80. The Montana sailed
from Baltimore on October 3, reaching
London on the morning OF the 10th,
making the journey from Puyaiiup to
London in thirty days. This is virtually a
revolution In the transportation of hops
from Washington to the English market.
In former seasons the time occupied in
transit varied from two to three months.
The second special train load which left
here on the morning of the 9th, consisting
OF eighteen cars. reached Baltimore on the
morning OF the 2lst. and goes on to Lon
don by the Atlantic Transportation Com
pany's steamer Maine. on the Goth. Such
rapid transit as this augars well for the
future prospects of hop growing in the
state of Washington, as the crop can be
placed on the English market very little
later than their own growths.
There is actually nothing doing in the
Puyallup hop market. There are various
rumo,s afoat of 81 cents and 7cents being
