A Queer Vessel.

PORTLAND, Aug. 26.-The four
masted bark Olympic, now at New
York, but scheduled to sail for
Portland soon, is said to be the only
vessel of her kind In existance.
She was built for the lumber trade
around the Horn. The peculiar
features of the Olympic are her
queer rigging and the space on
the main deck, l30 feet between
the fore and aft houses capable
of holding 10000 feet Of lumber, and
the ability of the craft to sail with
out pound Of ballast. When she
sailed from Bath, where she was
built, the ouly freight aboard was a
Hedge anchor and nine tenders, and
she carried easily her 5000 feet Of
canvas.

PRICES OF HOPS.
No Contracts Made at Salem Thus
Far IA to Is cents offered.

The talk about 25 and 35 cents a
ponnd for hops, is gross exagger-
alton, inclined to mislead a great
many people who read such state
ments In print. The fact is that up
to date no Salem broker has had
advices to offer over IA to Is cents a
pound.
An occasional buyer admits that
he may be obliged to offer 20 cents
if he cannot get any at lower rate.
The price will depend good deal
upon tenacitS with which growers
organize and hold onto their crop.
Brokers say the early market will
give growers the highest price. The
whole matter is in an unsettled
state. But one thing is certain:
Oregon has magnificent crop of
hops and should get all it is worth
for it.

WASHINGTON HOPS.
Spraying Methods Adopted by
Washington Growers The
Crnn.

"A Kent special to the Seattle Tele-
grayh says: Ben Meyers, who Is Mr.
Meek ker's experienced and efficient
foreman, says they are now using
10-foot poles In their large hop yards
here. They have come to the con.
clusion that 12.foot poles are less
expensive and far more convenient,
and they have consequently decided
to cut their poles all of to IL feet
before using next year. They will
also twine both ways from the top
of the poles and train the hop vines
to cover the entire space. BY this
method the vines are mnch more
easily and effectually sprayed.
They tested four acres after this
fashion this year and find that II
takes only one-half the material to
spray that it requires under the
old long.pole, no-twine method.
They have 12O acres here In hops.
They expect to stop spraying the
25th. Last year they used kerosene
emulsion, but got to work late, and
this material rotted lots of their
hops. They will begin picking
about the Sth or 10th of September.
Some four or five years ago, Mr..
Meyers says, Mr.. Meeker imported
from England variety OF hops
known as the "Early Humphrey"
They are ripe now. Mr.. Meeker
likes them. He thinks they are the
coming hop.
Mr.. Sutterworth has 20 acres of
hops and has kept constantly spray
ing, using a mixture of eight pounds
of quassia chips with seven pounds
of whale oil soap to 100 gallons Of
water. He considers his yard free
from lice, but says if there are any
they must be in the thick growth
at the top of the poles, to which
point he is contining his spraying.
Mr.. Sutterworth claims that six of
his 20 acres will yield an average of
2500 pounds per acre.
e. E. Titus has six acres in hops
and says he will have two-thirds of
a crop. This yard in former years
has produced an average of 2500
pounds per acre.

HOP PICKERs MAY STRIKE.
Hop Growers Associations Up the
Valley Cutting Prices.

Strikes are all the fashion now
and we may see one among the
boys and girls who do hop picking
They suffer the disadvantage of
haying no organization but they are
preparing to make a strong fight
against cut in wages.
There is great scarcity of pickers
in Washington and a reduction of
from 50 cts. to 40 cts. as is proposed
In a number of counties will send a
large number Of pickers oyer the
border, and that would raise the
wages again here. Polk, Yamhill,
and Marion counties hop growers
have not cut wages that we have
heard of, but will pay the same AS
in other years. A hop picker's
strike would be something new.
