and is said to be much better than the
ordinary chips and whale oil soap. J. W
Meeker reports no lice upon his hops, as
do also several others.
A gentleman from the East says that in
our hop business we are far ahead of New
York state. as it appears very little sue
cess has been attained there by spraying.
and the vines have been allowed to die
when disease from one cause or another
crept in. We follow England in the culti-
walton, curing and treatment of diseases of
the hops, and thus we may be able to sue
ceed. our climate being much like Eng
lands. The English have for years fought
the different foes of the hop, ana with per-
feet success, as today England with her
small area is one of the large hop-growing
countries and has her share of the control
of the worlds market.
The last consignment of logs from
Brazil for the manufacture of quassia
chips has arrived for E. Meeker & Co.
This is the fifth car load. making 10000
pounds in all when green, but consider
ably less after being kiln-dried.
E. Meeker & Co. on June 1 shipped
three bales of hops to New York, which
practically close the 1881 season.

was very much surprised in coming down

shipping at Tacoma and Seattle, and it seemed
to me as though might have been at some Of

Portland. Tacoma and Seattle are to be the
New York, Philadelphia and Boston of the Pa
cifc coast 1t struck me that both Seattle aud
Tacoma were firmly established, and must
naturally grow to be large and important Cities
The opening of the canal at Seattle is a matter
OF vital Importance to them, and will be of
great advantage. A great fresh water
lake cannot but be of great advantage
to the shipping, and would tend to
to build up a large port ana make fine harbor
for government vessels. My impression of both
towns was most favorable. To my mind the
grea: fire was blessing to Seattle. finer class
of buildings does not exist anywhere than those
which have succeeded those that were burned
There is great deal of talk about the rivalry of
the two towns. Its not necessary to have any
rivalry. The progress of one town does not
interfere and In fact assists the progress OF the
other. They are far enough apart for the
healthy increase Of each without affecting the
interest of the other. ] had heard SO much
about this rivalry that was prepared to find a
great difference between them, but 1
did not see it, There should be
no conflict between the two places;
if each is true to its own interests both will be
great cities-there is nothing to prevent it. II
my lot was cast in either 1t would be my task to
do all in my power to advance the interests of
each, as the benefits that accrue to one must
surely inure to the advantage OF the other. Ia
coma and Seattle rival many cities through
which we have passed, though it strikes me
there are not likely to be any great booms. but a
steady natural growth. Both far exceeded my
expectations.
Mr.. Childs says Washington will support
0,000.0 900 people. He praises the excellent
character of the newspapers in the Pacific
Northwest, but finds that they are not as
well patronized as they should be and as
they deserve to be.

1t the president descended to the East
room and had the usual Saturday after
noon public reception. Two hundred peo-

shook the presidents hand, could have
told from his cool, collected manner that
anything unusual had happened. Indeed,
the president seemed better than usual

the president returned to the library and
addressed letter to Blaine accepting his
resignation, and gave 1t to Private Secre-

THE TAMPA CONVENTION

All the counties have held theil
conventions and chosen delegates to
the democratic state convention
which will meet at Tampa next We'd
nesday. 1t is now possible to view
the field and form an intelligent idea
Of the situation. A close scrutiny
Of the various delegations reveals the
fact that Judge Henry L. Mitchell
is the favorite candidate for gov
ernor. He will 60 into the conven-
ton with more than a majority OF
the delegates with a vote ex-
ceediLg the combined vote of all the
other candidates "a vote nearly
double that of any other one candi-
date.
This would indicate that he will
be the winner, and that he can easily
be nominated by the two-thirds rule.
Having nominated Judge Mitchell
for governor, the convention will
then proceed TO the nomination of
other state officers. Present indica-
tions are that the ticket will then
read something like this:
For s. cretary of state-Dr. John l..
Crawford.
For capitalization. w. D. Blox-
ham.
For tressurer-HOn Eduardo J. TRAY.
For attOrney-general-H w. B. La
mar.
For mmissi ner of agricul' ure-Hon.
L. B. Wombwell.
For superintendent of public instruction
Major A. ]. Russell.
For justice supreme court-Judge r.
Fenwick Taylor.
More time will be taken up in the
convention at the start in discussing
the claims of the contesting delega-
ton from Duval and in talking upon
the question Of the two-thirds vs..
the majority rule than will be re-
quired in nominating the full ticket.
The Tampa convention will be
filed with interesting events and the
wires will be kept hot carrying the
news to every city and town in the
state.
