moP CULTURE.
Hop culture in Washington is
steadily drifting eastward. This /
year Yakima is having wonderful |
success with 5000 acres, from which
she expects to realize 100000, and
Palouse country farmers have made
experiments in various portions of
that fertile region, with a resultant
yield Of from 300 to 1900 pounds
to the acre promised for this sea-
son. One rancher near Colfax, who
has an especially favorable location
and plenty Of water for irrigating
purposes, will secure fully 5000
pounds from an acre Of ground

Democrats, when Republicans
try to make political capital out of
the attitude Of Cleveland and Con-
gress on silver, don't forget that
Harrison is as much opposed to un-
limited silver coinage az Cleveland
can be, and that out of l25 Repub-
lican votes in the House on the re-
peal question ll2 were cast against
free silver coinage at 16 to l. There
is no room for Republicans TO cut
up capers on silver and the Democ-
racy.
At Washington. on the 9th in
slant, Mrs. Cleveland gave birth TO
baby girl. From time to time
during the morning, the President
was quietly advised as to the con
dition Of affairs in the sick room.
and at exactly 12 o'clock, DIR. Bry-
ant summoned him from the recep-
ton room and made the important
announcement. The smile on the
doctors face and the reassuring
pressure OF his hand told the Pres
ident his wife was safe, and without
pausing asked; rs it a boy or a
girl?" Something like shadow Of
disappointment swept across Cleye-
lands face as the physician told
him the new born babe was a girl
Everywhere disappointment was
manifested that the baby was not q
boy. This is the first time in the
history of the republic that the wal
Of newborn infant of the Presi
dent OF the United States has been
heard within the walls Of the Whit,
House. The child weighed 8!
pounds.
X. p. Plowman, who has spent
the greater portion of an active lif,
in prospecting and mining and il
which he has made and lost more
than one fortune, has at last Sc
cured a property that he and hi
friends believe to be the most valu
able Of any that he has ever handled
Reference is had to his gold quarts
mine in Neal district, in Elmort
county. He knew this after thu
first thorough examination, but un
til this season was unable to prose
cute the necessary development
work. The first clean up with hi!
somewhat primitive mill greatly ex
ceedcd all expectations; and nov
that it has received modern touches
and improved by the addition o
more machinery with increased ca
pacity it is safe to predict that hi
mine will develop into one of thu
greatest gold producers in the State
Nor is the Plowman mine the ONLY
property in Neal district that yield
encouraging prospects. Mark Aims
lie has a mine there upon which h,
is now putting up five-stamp mill
while a score of other industriou
prospcctors each have one or more
claims that experts pronounce val

Senator Teller's sensational at
tack upon the press of the country
in the Senate on Saturday, il to b,
regretted, and the general impress
sion, without regard to politica
opinion, is that he made a serious
mistake. There are, unfortunately
dishonest newspapers and editor
of the lowest order, but they ar,
comparatively few in number.
