Hops are showing indications of reach
ing the ten-cent figure predicted for them
sometime ago. While the market adj
vances are not sharp they have shown a
strength and a steadiness for a month
past that have been very satisfactory TO
growers and holders. On Monday Chas.
Carpenter bought 81 bales from <. II.
Allen at cents. the highest price that
had then been reached for the season, and
A. B. Weed sold 100 bales to the Horst.
Lachmund Co., for the same figure. On
the following day A. Z. Poole closed with
James Harvey for IS bales, on which
there was an option. at IA cents and
Bounds & Meyer sold their crop Of 6S
bales to Lachmund for 81. The same
afternoon Mr.. Poole offered Stone & Dav-
idson So cents for small lot and were
given short option at cents. Old
hops, the principal portion of which are
held by II. b. Scudder, F. ID. Hiscock
| and the receiver OF the Kittitas Valley
National bank for the account OF J. b.
Schultze, are in but small demand al
though offers OF 8 and 80 cents have
been made. The price of hops took an
other Jump to-day and two lots were sold
| at 10 cents. There is feeling that they
will 90 still higher and A. +. Poole has q
short option on A. B. Weeds 100 bales
at IL cents.

| A Northern Pacific conductor said a
few days ago to a friend. who had re-
marked at his wearing a Mckinley but
ton that he was thus decorated as a
matter of policy, though he intended to
vote for Bryan. When questioned as to
his reason for placing it on policy basis
he answered that as far as he knew no
demands nor threats had been made re-
garding the political course of the EN-
ployes OF the road, but it was generally
understood that the management would
like to have the employees support the
gold ticket and that those who were
known to act in accordance with the
wishes of their superiors would stand tn
best show of being favored in case of a
curtsilment of the working force or where
there were promotions to be made. A
somewhat similar story is told by Mart
Schlchtl, who says he has relatives work
ing in the "shops' in the east who have
written him OF their intention to vote tor
Bryan yet still wear the emblem OF gold
in their buttonhole as an insurance
against being thrown out of work.
Peter Norby captured the bicycle race
on Saturday afternoon of last week from
NJ. J. Lee, of Echo, Or. There were
about 100 spectators present and some
little money put up and more offered. but
after the first heat which was made by
Lee in 2 :42, his hackers could secure nc
more bets. The second heat which was
a minute slower was won by Norby al
though the claim is made that Lee threw
it off in order that his hackers might be
able to get up more money. If that was
SO it lost him the race for Norby also
took the last and deciding heat in 8 :0i
Notwithstanding the exertions OF the
webfooter, who was laboring somewhat
under disadvantage in riding whee
