More About Renting Two Places for the
Salem Militia.
EDITOR JOURNAL: Knowing that
you desire to give both sides hearing
in all matters pretaining to public
business, l take the liberty to make
the following brief explanation in re-
CARDS to the "Two Armories.'' Last
fall before Capt. Leabo assumed COM
mand of "B" company l was in charge
of the state property belonging to the
two companies stationed at this place,
and also virtually In charge of the
companies. Feeling that the rent
which we were charged for the armory
owned by Mrs. Hubbard was rather
exorbitant in view of the fact that
there were no sanitary Accommodations
in connection with the building and
that the roof was very leaky. There
was committee appointed to inter
view Mrs. Hubbard in regard to
making the necessary repairs or re-
| ducing the rent so that we might be
enabled to do it. She refused to do
either, so l rented the upper floor of
the building owned by Nr. Hughes for
the sum of 500 per year and moved
into it, we we're thus enabled to Sc
cure better Accommodations at a saw
ing of 800 per year. When Captain
Leabo assumed charge of "B" COM
pany he moved back into the old
armory and endeavored to persuade
me to do the same. Mr.. Hughes then
cut my rent to $500 per year which
was the same amount that we would
haYe to pay Mrs. Hubbard. Then l
sublet the drill hall for dancing pur-
poses to e. M. La Fore who assumed
the expe nse of decorating the hall and
planning the flooor besides paying III
$500 per night for the use Cf it thus
we were enabled to Saye from $40 to
S12 per month. AS far as the county OF
state isconcerned in renting the arm
ory for the companies it is misunder-
stood. The state allows $15 for run
ming expenses. The extra allowance
made by the county court was used by
me in lifting up rifle range and not
to pay armory rent or to maintain a
smoking club as your correspondent
suggests. Hoping you will see the
fairness of my position in this matter.

JOHN A. EVANS.

A Suggestion.

Now that we have the spans and
floor Of that most needed Willamette
bridge in good repair again, so that
1T is safe to cross. We haye reason
to congratulate ourselves. But why
could not that gate to the city of Sa-
lem and to or county from the other
be made, not only CONVENIENCE but
also a profitable ornament? By Civ
ing the railing painting, having the
approaches planked with asingle floor,
instead of a double floor, which only
causes the whole thing to rot in one
fourth of the time. Have man
equipped with a saw, hammer, a
broom and shovel, guarding against
abuse of the bridge and keeping it
clean and in repair. Such a man
would not cost over S400 year; and
it would not only give a good man a
chance of earning his bread and but
ter but would also be saving TO the
taxpayers indeed.

HOPS.
The Crop Almost a Failure.
New York State Suffers Severely
Oregon Prospect.

Tbe weather has been perfect for
the development of hops, and lice are
fast disappearing. The hot weather
has given the lice set back. Never
before have Oregon hops had better
prospect and with diligent spraying
hon men will be able to harvest
supurb quality and an enormous
yield.
More spraying is being done than
ever before,
Oregon has larger acreage under
cultivation this season than last and
from present indications will harvest
a crop of about $4,000 bales. Califor-
MIA is estimated at about 10000 bales.
Washington is now the smallest of the
Pacific coast hop growing Stases and
promises crop in wetstern Washing
ton of about 1900 bales of choice
quality. and in eastern Washington
Of about 5000 bales of Indifferent
quality.
1t is altogether likely that the sur
plus stock of hops in the United
States, held principally by brewers
will have some serious inroads made
into this year for export to England,
because of the smallness of the crop
there, the acreage being smallest
known in 20 years, and with an aver
age yeild of 800 weight per acre,
which is above the average. The
product will probably reach 100000
hundred weight and the chances are
that this will be reduced by the
vermin, which are reported
plentiful in all the hop gardens of
England. If the insect pest holds un-
till the Towering time, the yeild will
be still farther curtailed.
Louis r. Searles, one of the largest
dealers in New York and Pacific coast
hops, Gays that even with the most
favorable crop report in England that
can possibly be made, there must be
large importations from the continent
and the United States and the brewers
will be obliged to use considerable Of
OF their surplus of two years ago.
New York will produce about 10000
bales less in 1897 than in 1896 when
the yield was 10000 bales. This is
due to reduced acreage and poor culti-
Yation. Under the most favorable
circumstances, we cannot look for
more than O,OOO bales, and there is "A
possibility of even less than that be
cause of the vermine which are alarm
ingly plentiful in all the hopgrOwing
sections.
These insects are worse now than
they have been since 1886, when the
crop was entirely destroyed, and if
they continue to increase during the
next two weeks, the damage will be
great and the estimates for the '97
crop may have to be revised.
New York price today:
Reports have been such as to cause
prices to look up little, and market
has flrmer tone. The movement is
not large; but if there is no improve
ment In crop reports here and abroad,
a further advance may follow. State

NEWS or FOREIGN NAvIEs.

The torpedo-b boat destroyer Mallard, built by
Thornycroft, had a very successful three hours
continuous trial on September z. Under an
air-pressure of 2.87 pounds with Oil pounds
steam and 397 revolutions, the engines
worked up to 5749 horsepower, and the speed
averaged 80 20l knots per hour.
The engineers strike in England Is becom-
ing very serious. Steam trial of tae cruiser
Arrogant have been delayed for some time
the Associated Steam Engineers having with
drawn the engine-room arlificers in the en-
ploy OF Ears Shipbuilding Company. by
whom the vessel was built. The Admiralty
decided on September 13 to have the tri al
come off on the 70 lowing day and selected
lot OF picked naval ratings to take the place
of the men on strike In consequence the A.
s E. withdrew the contractors cnarge men
and this withdrawal left the contractors un-
represented in either the engine or boiler
room. Is the machinery has not yet beeh
tested as customary before high power trials
there Is some anxiety as TO the outcome of the
affair, the naval men having no intimate
knowledge o. the machinery.
Ideas of naval education in England differ
somewhat from those entertained by our naval
authorities. The course of cadets in the
British navy. which has hitherto been two
years on the Britannia, mas now been cut down
to eighteen months. which means only fifty
twoweeks ct school. In our navy the course
Is four years at the academy and two years at
sea before being promoted to the grade of
ensign. The British cadet, however, continues
his studies at sea, and practice and theory
thus SO together. Furthermore in order to
qualify for special services, such as navigation,
ordnance, torpedoes. etc.. the English officer
has to take special courses and pass rigid
examinations, whereas in the United States
navy, the four years course at Annapolis is
assumed to qualify the young man for any
service he may be called upon to perform.

piled from twenty multi-tu bular boilers and

will consist of thirty-six guns, and the total
cost, including armament is estimated at
$4, 900 000 Two other similar armored
cruisers are to be begun shortly, one at Lori
ent and the other to be built by contract.
These new French ships are limitations of the
United States armored cruiser Brooklyn, bu t
as they are 80 feet longer and OF only 245 tons
more displacement, the lines will necessarily
be much finer than the American and there
should be no difficulty in pushing her at the
rate of 81 knots. with 19,600 horsepower,
which is nearly 900 in excess of the maximum
powers of the Brooklyn when she made 21.91
knots.
commerce-destroyer is being designed for
the French navy. The vessel is TO have a speed
of % knots, the trlple-screw engines to work
MP to II 400 horsepower. The dimensions
are: Length, 449 feet; beam, 40 feet inches
and draft of 20 feet 8 inches, displacing
56S5 tons. The normal coal supply will be
600 tons, but the bunkers will hold 900, on
which it is calculated the ship can steam 1880
knots at full speed and $500 knots at 10 knots
Everything has been sacrificed for speed,
hence the armament is light, and consists of
eight 5-inch rapid-fire guns, ten 6-pounders
and six 3-pounders. She is to be named Jules
Gravierre, after a distinguished French ad-
miral and naval historian. The designer is de-
cidedly ambitious, as it is intended to eclipse
the United States cruisers Columbia and Min.
neapolis of 1875 tons, which made %. knots
and 23O73 knots respectively at their trials.
AS the French ship is 81 feet longer and of 8
feet less beam and 221z inches less draught
than our Columbia, lines of extraordinary
sharpness may be looked for and the ship will
be simply a torpedo-boat of large dimensions
so far as the hull is concerned, the coefficient
of fneness of displacement being 43 against
40 of the Columbia and Minneapolis.
