this year to parties IN the Sacramento VAL
ley. Altogether The outlook this year is an
excellent one, and with a few spring show
els the yield will be immense.
oANTA Rosa, April 12--About 400 bales
OF last seasons hops remain uHsold In this
county up to date. The yards all reported
In gooo condition, the roots having win
tered well. Sonoma County hop stock is
IN demand among growers of other locali-
ties.
over 100000 roots were shipped from this
point to Sacramento County during the
hate winter and early spring.
As to The prospect of quality and size of
the caming seasons crop growers all feel
encouraged Several have contracted for
crops ahead and some are using the ad-
vances thus obtained in enlarging and
putting out new yards.
Yards which came into bearing this year
will probably increase the county's hop
revenue $4,000.
This calculation is based on an authen-
tic report that the yield will exceed that of
| last season by 500 to 700 bales. At prese NJ
there Is no movement in the remaining
bales of last seasons crop. In some of the
old yards The high-pole system is being in
troduced on the strength Of the success
| which has attended previous experiments
with the system.
PORTLAND. April 13 The prospect of a
large hop crop in Oregon the coming sea-
SOD is good. The plants have wintered
well and are now further advanced by
probably three weeks than at this time
last year. There has been large increase
in acreage this season. though the increase
will not materially affect the '94 crop. 1t
| is estimated that the increase will amount
to 20 per cent. or about 5000 acres.
The growing plants are healthy. and at
this time there is no indication of disease.
Last years crop amounted TO 5000 bales,
which was small yield. If weather con-
ditions continue favorable to the end of
the season the cron should be 3d. 600 bales.
as against $4,000 in 1898 and 27.500 in 1892.
Bearing yards are already being twined
aud under heavy cultivation. For the
most part new yards are adopting the
short pole and twine and wire trellis sys-
tenn. Actual bona fide contracts fer '94
crop are being made at from II to 13 cents.
A few contracts for five years have been
made at 1211S cents.
Growers who last year consigned to Lon
don are not pleased at the slow and small
returns, about II cents being the best re-
turns yet reported. All '93 hops are out
of the growers hands.
TACOMA, April 13.-Reports from the
hOp-growing districts of Washington show
that the hop roots are just peeplng
through the ground. They are about two
weeks backward.
The acreage is largely increased over
that of last year and some growers esti-
mate the increase at 25 per cent and the
yield for '94 at about the same proportion.
The bulk of the increase is in the Yakims
Valley, where the completion of irrigating
bitches has given a stimulus TO the hop
business.
The vines, as far as can be determined
at present, are In good condition and no
danger from lice is anticipated.
Washington State in '93 produced in the
neighborhood OF $4,000 bales, and under
favorable conditions this seasons product
will be $4,000 bales.

The morning call., 1894-04-14

The value of the gold in any case may
be found by multiplying the number of
ounces by 2o.67. These figures are about
81, 100000 less than the aggregated values
reported by the agents Of the bureau, for
the reason that it has been unable to trace
the full amount reported to the refneries

estimates are certainly notin excess of the

counsel will be engaged at San Francisco

counsel on hand to serve the extradition

made to the State Department. and thus
the matter will be settled judicially on its

departments, which have found Ezeta to
be white elephant on their hands. The
charge upon which special reliance will be
placed by the Salvadorian Government in
its application for Ezera's extradiction is
that he robbed banks. but as the general
will contend the money was taken as
forced load" well known in Central
American practice, and was applied to
meet war expenses, it probably will be
held that the offense was political and
therefore that Ezeta is not subject to ex-

HART ON AMERICANISM.
Stirring Scenes in the Long Trial
of the Strikers.

WOODLAND, Aug. 3. - When Judge
Fisher opened court this morning he ex-
hibited himself to the public as an erring
but penitent man. Night had revealed to
him the enormity of his offense in "cuss-
ing" the obstreperous Worden when that
defendant shook his fist in the judicial
visage. His colleagues of the Baptist flock
had chided the Judge. who holds the Office
of deacon, for thus exposing himself to
the assaults of Satan. Therefore when
court was called to order Judge Fisher
hemmed loudly three times TO fasten atten-
tion and then boldly made clean breast
of it.
"Before proceeding this morning." said
the Judge. ST desire to apologize to the
bar and the members of the staff of re-
porters for having lost my temper yester-
day afternoon. I should hold any OF the
attorneys strictly accountable for such con-
duct as l was guilty of myself, and l hope
you will accept my apology for having lost
my temper in the manner which did
yesterday"
During this address the court never
offered to look at Worden, who sat with
his mouth open as if fully prepared to
hear the court refer to him. But how
ever much the Judge had "cussed' Wor-
den, he seemed to feel that his only offenss
in so doing was to the audience.
Alvin Bruner undertook to soothe the
raw flesh of the judicial conscience. sit
was simply burst of righteous indgna-
tiOn, your Honor" he remarked, rising
and bowing profoundly to the court.
Carroll Cook suggested that the court
was in recess at the time, thereby insinu-
ating that the Judge had perfect right to
''cuss" Worden out of court.
The Judge having re ieved himself of
the onus of his breach of the peace, court
proceeded in its regular way. Frank
G. Read of Redding was put on the
stand, and his cross-examination was re-
sumed by Attorney Gaddis. A row was
precipitated at the start. The witness ad-
mitted that when Mullin had attempted to
speak to him the previous day Alvin Bru-
ner had warned him and Deputy Marshal
