Gen. Maxine Gomez, who is about to
leave Cuba for his native land of San
Domingo. delivered an interesting
speech to the Cubans and couched his
remarks in 1he tone of good sense
which seems to be the keynote to the
ancient warriors character. He says
that it is calumny to accuse the United
States OF any wish to rob the Cubans
of their liberty and that the Cuban. left
poor by the war. should dream only
of work. and bend himself to his
duties in plain and practical fashion.
Gomez appears TO be wise man.

Value of Good Descriptions.


Sheriff Durbin has commenc ed pub
fishing list Of property for sale for
delinquent taxes. Owners of such prop
erty will hereafter be obliged to pay the
costs of advertising in addition TO the
amount due for taxes. The costs this
year will be much larger than usual for
the reason that full descriptions have
been made OF every parcel of property
advertised. Heretofore very imperfect
descriptions have been given and it has
been impossible to find bidders at tax
sale. II the description given in the no
tice is not certain enough TO enable the
purchaser TO identify his property the
title is imperfect, and for that reason
few care to bid except on tracts properly
described.
In the last tax sale only small per
cent of the property found bidders. In
anticipation Of repetition OF that ex-
perience, the county court this year en-
ployed clerks TO correct the assessment
rolls by inserting correct descriptions.
II is expected that there will this year
be bidders enough TO assure the collec-
tion Of nearly all the delinquent taxes.

Press Opinions.

LoNDoS, Nov 4.--The Paris cores
pondcnt of the Daily News asserts that
since the war began the Boer secret ser
vice fund has increased 10 fl0,00C
monthly and that pro-BOer journalists
are bribed at wholesale. None Of these
rumors are yet confirmed, and little at
tention ispaid TO them.
The Standard publishes a dispatch
from Luxemburg which says:
Until within few days, DIR. Leyds
has been in telegraphic communication
with Pretoria, through an indirect dip
lomatic channel, by means of which he
has been able to inform the Transvaal
of the supposed British plan of advanced
through the Orange Free State.
With view TO anticipating this move
ment, the Beers will endeavor TO capture
or isolate Ladysmith, and then press on
10 Durham, where they would
be able 10 prevent British debarkation,
while the main Boer army would hastily
retrace its steps 10 defend the line of

There has been only one sale Of hops
here this season at Chehalis the plant
crop, ~ bales TO Horst Bros, at 81
cents. Ten cents was offered for one
small lot of choice hops. State Inspec-
j. n. Fernadez was called in in one
case early in the week to settle the
question as TO the quality of the Larson
two-ton lot on which George Rose had
l2-cent contract. The inspector
graded them Common" or third
grade They had been picked too green.
Rose took them at SlS cents. Rose
also had two four-ton contracts with
the Roundtrees. Neither Of these lots
was up 10 standard, and the dealer
took enough Of them at 80 cents TO
make good his advance money. Fran
els Donahoe is plowing up his 3l-acre
yard, and will plant an ls-acre yard
on better hop ground.
Hop growers are beginning 10 feel
quite discouraged at the condition of
the market for their crop in Lane
county. About . cents pound is all
they are offered, and buyers do not
seem to want them at all, although
they say the samples are first class.
No sales are being made.

The Hop Market.

A Salem hop buyer quotes following as
the ruling quotations at close of this
week
Fancy hops IL TO 12 cents
Prime TO choice 10 cents.
Mediums 8 TO 8 cents.
Lower grades not yet wanted.
There are few strictly fancy or extra
choice hops to be had in Oregon. The
conditions for making the crop were not
favorable for perfect product. In the
rush TO save the hops from mildewing
and other damage from moisture, they
we're either picked too green, or under
cured or overcured.
There has been rush Of hop growers
at Salem Friday and Saturday and the
pressure Of growers TO sell is very strong.
There is no doubt but this is the critical
time in the hop situation at Salem. The
mails and wires are bringing more in
quiry the past few days than for weeks
past and there is no doubt but that both
demand and prices are stiffening. II
the grower can get a fair price, the quail
ity OF his product, all things considered
he had better take it, but all growers,
whether they sell or not should remain
in the hop growers association and they
will improve their situation materially.
There is no doubt but that the con
dition OF the market is on the mend. It
is on the improve and all growers can
afford to contribhte to such condition
Of things. Join the association, subscribe
for its stock, upholds its methods, the
Lord helps those whose help themselves,
the hop growers included.
