Or. w. III. Hare's resignation as re
reiver of the land office has been accepted,
| to take effect when his successor has been
appointed and has qualified. The appli-

Ellensburgh LocaGzer: James Hart, a
long time resident of this county, and for
some time Of this city, is an applicant for
the receivership in the Yakima land

worthy and an uncompromising demo-
crat He has long list of signers to his

publicans' best wishes for success.
The political world of Washington
opened vide its eyes and mouth in aston
ishment on Saturday last at the announce
ment that James G. Drake, of Tacoma,
had been appointed U. S. marshal; and
William H. Brinker, of South Bend, at.
torney general of this state. That the
appointments are most excellent ones nc
one questions. as all factions and parties
testify to the high character and qualifi-
cations of the appointees; but Their
names had never been considered in
party councils in connection with these
offices. The fight for marshal was sup.
posed to be between Stephen Judson and
Martin Mallory, and II. J. Snively and
j. L. Sharpstein were the most promi.
nently mentioned for the attorAeyship,
although THE HERALD is reliably informed
that Mr.. Snively had no application on
file. Hugh G. Wallace passed through
Yakima Saturday and informed local
democrats that the appointments were
made as a compromise measure on &C.
count OF the charges against the leading
aspirants and the lack of harmony exist
ing between the democrats of this state.
There are still about 400 bales OF hops
remaining in Yakima county, and hold.

owing to the contradictory reports from
the east. One authority will say that the
New York hop combine has not played
fair with its associates and that members
while another will deny this, insisting
that the combine was never 80 strong as
at present and that the growers would
rather lose on their holdings than permit
the dealers to dictate to them the price at
which they should sell. In the Yakima
fields the hops never looked better
Trellis work is almost finished now, and
the appearance of the vines warrant the
growers in believing that the crop will be
an immense one. On the west side oil
the mountains and in Oregon the aphis
or louise, has appeared In great numbe,s
on the young plants and spraying has
already been resorted TO in the hope that
the destructive insect can be kept from
doing any great amount OF mischief.
There appears to be no change in quota
tions, although the present prices are
quoted strong in New York. All the re-
ports received from Europe are Of an en-
couraging nature for the Pacific coast
growers. In England, where the yards
are forward enough to show the bine, il
has been noticed that the aphides are
prevalent and in the yards around Can
terbury, Kent, the flea has been doing
some damage and the growers are pre-
pairing TO spray. In London the dealers
report demand for coast hops, with. a
small supply. The brewers have been
using up their stocks, and now the warm
weather is coming on the demand will
certainly not fall off. In Germany the
growers are pleased with the reports from
New York and are holding for still higher
prices than have been asked for some
months past.
