NOTES FROM UKIAH.

The Hop-Growers to Commence Picking
Mondsy-A New Hotel.
The hop-growers will begin picking on
Monday, the 18th inst. They are in good
spirits, the yield promises well, both as to
quantity and quality. and the prospect is
good for profitable prices. A few OF our
producers have already contracted their
crops at 20 cents per pound.
At meeting of the Hop-growers' Asso-
citation recently held here resolutions were
adopted recommending the State associa-
ton to use all honorable means to have the
tax on hop bales reduced from cents 10 311a
cents. Also to fix the price to pay for pick
ing at rate per hundred pounds, which is
understood to be liberal. The policy of pay
ing liberal prices for picking when growers
can afford to always results in having the
picking done by white labor. This year
it is expected that very few hops will be
picked by Chinese here, and it is eX-
pected that MEN, women and children liv-
ing in town of all classes, ages and condi-
lions will be found in the hop-fields during
the next month, thus keeping the money
paid for picking in our midst, which is quite
an item to the prosperity of the valley, as
II amounts to thousands of dollars.
Gas works are about TO be erected for sup
plying the town with light. Heretofore we
have depended upon light produced from
gasoline and coal oil.
When the news of Markham's nominal
ton reached here some little surprise was
expressed as it was generally supposed it
would be Morrow, he being the choice of
the majority here. Still the nomination was
well received and no doubt is entertained
that III. II. Markham will be our next Gov
ernor.

Internecine Strife.
Woo You, the Chinese cook and high
binder, who was deliberately shot in the
abdomen last Wednesday morning on
Dupont street by another highlander named
Ng Hoy Of his own society, died at the Re-
ceiving Hospital shortly after noon yester-
day. The body was removed to the Morgue,
where an autopsy and inquest will be held.
When Detectives Cox and Glennon heard
OF You's death they raised the charge OF
assault to murder against the two Chinese
prisoners who were with Ng Hoy at the
time OF the shooting, to murder. They
then proceeded to the Chinese quarter in
search of the murderer, whom they expect
to have within twenty-four hours. 1t is
known that his society, the Sue On Tong,
is shielding him from the police, and in re-
turn matters will be made extremely dis
agreeable for this lawless band of high
binders by the repeated raiding of their
headquarters.
