taken out. The diggings are located
on the west slope of the Big Horn
range, near the head of the Little Horn

gulches and the dirt has to be carried

Hop growers Of Oregon rejoice in a
bountiful yield and an excellent quail
lily OF the product of their yards this
season. The hop acreage of the state
is not large, farmers being somewhat
slow in engag! ng in the hop culture
owing to the special preparation neces-
sary for the care of the crop and the
fact that the price is uncertain; but
those who have undertaken it have in
the aggregate made it pay relatively
much better than wheat raising or
fruit growing. The estimated output
this season of the yards of Marion,
Linn, Polk and Lane counties is
10000 bales, and the quality is excel
lent. The price, owing to the fact that
green lice have wrought great havoc in
the hop fields of western New York
and other sections, is exceptionally
high.
There is a pretty fight on between
the local wheat growers and elevator
companies at Walla Walla. The local
buyers have been having the best of
the market this year. The elevator
companies have not been able to pur-
chase any wheat at the same rate
offered by Others. Monday the Pacific
Coast Elevator Company made break
offering GO cents net per bushel for
club wheat, and 50 cents for bluestem.
The company succeeded that day in
purchasing 10000 bushels, principally
in the vicinity of Dixie. They got as
much more in the afternoon. Local
companies are paying go cents net for
wheat, only worth, according to the
Portland market, "a cents, and admit
this, but claim that they are bound to
get grain. Farmers feel jubilant over
the fight.
A dispatch from Washington says,

lished by the Society of Naval Engi-
neers for the current quarter, the
fastest torpedo boat extant is a little
torpedo dispatch boat built after the
new type introduced by Schicherau,
Of Germany, for the Russian govern
ment. She is similar in principle to
the Italian boats Aqutla, Niblio and
Falko. The hull is 152 feet seven
inches long, seventeen 4eet beam, and
about $50 tons displacement. The en-
ssines are twin screws. triple expansion,

There are two locomotive boilers. 1t is
officially reported that she made a
mean speed. during six runs over
measured mile, of 27.4 knots. This
beats the best record of our little Cush-
ing, and all the Spanish boats which
have hitherto taken the lead in point
of speed, and makes the Russian gov
eminent possessor Of the fastest little
craft in the world.
