INTEREST TO HOP GROWERS
A Butteville Dealers Circular
Seventeen Cents for Hops.

Joel P. Geer, of Butteville, who
is agent for Thos. osborne & Co., of
England, directs the following circu-
lar to the hopgrowers of Oregon and
Washington. He says:
"There seems to be the same
game of freeze out going on between
the dealers and growers that was
offered last season, This yesr 1t
seems as though the growers ought
to get a good price. The England
crop is short of last seasons yield by
about 1000 of our bales. The Ger
man paper thinks their crop will be
some less than last year. In New
York the crop will be one-fourth
less, and on this coast it is rather
more than third less than last
year. Mr.. osborne writes that the
stocks are less than any year since
1854. A cable to hand now from
London says we have a good trade
for all grades of hops, and the price
is from 5 to 10 shillings dearer.' The
last New York Telegram says De
livery is now being made on previous
contracts, and it makes the market
quiet, bat the growers are still con-
fident.' In no business is there the
necessity to keep posted as in the
hop business; 1 am yet to see the
grower that does not want TO know
the latest from the east.* n
Around here 1 am given the honor
of forcing the dealers to give the
growers chance to get price, as l
was able to advance to growers mon
ey to get out of the dealers hands,
and ship their hops to London and
men that would have been glad to
get IL cents got from II to 10 cents
per pound. IN can see no reason
why the grower cannot ship to Lon
don and make the profit now made
by the dealer as we'll as to let the
dealer make it. The price is advanc.
cling in London, and will net the
grower from 20 to % cents now, and
if the price comes up here 1t will be
after it advances there"
It is learned by a JOURNAL re-
porter that several hop-growers in
the vicinity of Butteville and Ger
vais and other places intend to ship
their crop direct to England, saying
they can get from 2 to 8 cents more
pound in so doing.
In this city II cents wss offered
yesterday, but little is being done In
the way of sales.
The Puyallup Citizen of Friday
last says hops can be sold at 20 cents
In that section, but the growers re-
fuse to sell. At Independence on
Saturday dealers were offering le
cents.

rIrhting . Domestic Cat.


II have hunted tigers in India and
polar bears in the regions of eternal
snow, but the worst fight ever had
was with q common house cat," said
G.. w. Cooper. II had a fine black
cat of unusual size that / kept in the
store to discourage mice. One day
Tom disappeared and was gone dur
ing the entire summer, When he
returned with the advent of cold
weather it was easy to see that he
had been prowling in the woods.
He had become wild and savage, and
when / attempted to caress him he
bit me. I determined to punish hin,
for that little bit Of pleasantly, and
procuring switch followed him into
the storehouse and shut the door.
Now tom cat that fights at fifteen
pounds is no despicable antagonist
and soon realized the fact.
'He would spring for my face and
l would knock him back, losing con-
siderable cuticle at each round. FL
nally he fastened his teeth in the
side Of my neck and it required all
my strength to choke him off.
When l succeeded in doing SO was
afraid TO let go of him, and he tore
my arms terribly with his claws. /
finished him at last, but / looked as
though l had been run through a
thrashing machine. Hereafter when
/ attempt to chastise cat will pro.
cure suit of armor and club stud
ded with brass nails. ."--St. Louis

The sIl..l..Ippl.. Mouths.

When the jetties were built the
other passes or mouths Of tho Mis-
sissippi river were not closed. On
the contrary, they are all there, just
as many of them as there have ever
been in the historic period. The jet
ties were placed In the South pass
when it was only eight feet deep
Now 1t is more than thirty feet deep
giving tree passage to tho largest
class of ships. Southwest pass, which
was formerly the chief channel ol
navigation and had to DO dredged
daily to secure an extreme depth oi
eighteen or nineteen feet, Is now en-
tirely neglected as a route for com
merce, but as an outlet for the river
water 1t is doing its duty, as are al
the other passes. New Orleans Plea

No Evidence Against Him The
State for His Dismissal.

]. b. Case Is free man.
. At p. m. the attorneys for the
defense and Deputy Prosecuting At
torney Condit appeared In Justice
Bachelors court and after shori
consultation the state moved for the
prisoners discharge, to which de-
fense did not object. The state, afteI
carefully reviewing all the testimony
taken at the inquest, decided there
was not a particle of evidence against
Case and voluntarily dropped the
matter. Case was congratulated by

1t will be recalled that Case was
arrested Saturday night upon com.
plaint of the sheriff for presumed
connection with the death of Otto 5,
Cowee, who was found dead In

This ends the mysterious matter
for the present, tho there may still
be farther action by the officials to
ascertain the cause of Cowee's death.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
S. P. Train Nearly Wrecked-Prob-
ably the Work of Hobos.

Last nights Albany local train
which passed through Salem at GAS,
very narrowly escaped being wreck
ed few miles south of the city,
near the reform school. Engineer
Tom flanagan saw tie across the
track at a cattle guard, which had
been torn up. Also several strips
of the same had been placed di-
agonally across the rails. Under
most circumstances such a condi-
ion of affairs would have ditched
the train, but fortunately the tie
was high enough for the pilot
to strike it. This knocked the
main obstruction off and the
others were pushed aside, thus
saving the train as soon as he dis
covered the things on the track the
engineer checked his engine, and he
did it so suddenly as to shake ur
the passengers considerably.
Word was sent back from Turner,
and the section foreman, Mr.. Prun.
ty. at once proceeded to the scene
After fully examining the place ht
is fully convinced that it was the
work of wreckers. The train was GO
ing at such a speed that the tic
which was struck by the pilot was
cut half in two. This tie is now al
the passenger depot. DISTINCTIONS
| were found in two other places Oh
the track, and Agent Skinner is
firmly of the opinion that it was the
work of a gang of highwayman,
who are intent on murder and rob-
berry. He has had long experience
in railroading, and his opinion is
based upon life study of such mat
ters. The company should, and nc
doubt will take immediate steps to
bring the supposed villains to JUS
lice.
