HOP REPORT.
Condition of Crops in All Parts Of the
World.
The Outlook in Oregon Fine Not sc Good
Elsewhere, But FAIR Crop
Expected.

| The condition OF the mop crop IN Or
egon is considered as good as can be ex
pected at this time OF the year. Al
who are going to sprey their yards are
either doing so now or expect to do so
Immediately.
The yards about Salem are as rule
looking thrifty and there isevery reason,
with good weather, TO look for bigger
yeald than last year and the quality
will all depend upon the vermin, blight
or mildew.
The following notes were -gleand from
an experienced hop grower who has just
returnrd from the yards mentioned below.
The Levy yard is in good condition.
Hop vines look fine but the stand is not
full. w. II. Frances runs this farm,
hop yard and all and his crops are gen
orally good.
The Ed Croisan yard is also in good
condition and is operated by VIM. Ger
man and the stand is better than last
year and comparatively free from lice,
The Pettyjohn yard is being operated
by Al Pcttyiohn ..and the stand is very
much better than it was last year and
has been well worked.
The Holmes yard is one hundred acres,
80 of which he is working himself and
the other 10 Chnaman has. The
Chinaman's yard is in fine condition
and no lice.
The best piece of hops in the vicinity
of Salem is that operated by Chinaman
on the Wilson place five miles east OF
town and the stand is perfect and ev-
erything considered he will take the
cream in the hop business this year.
RI. Swartz has about 40 acres OF
hops upon which, three years ago he
grew 10 tons, last year he harvested
5000 lbs and his prospect this year
looms up, barring all accidents, as il he
would get about 10000.
At Walleryille, the great hop center
in New York State, the ollowing from
the Reporter will give fair idea of con-
ditions:
Transactions have been very few dur
ing the past week. The sales were made
at prices that show that buyers are
obliged to bid little more than formerly
to secure what they want
There is still some apprehension con-
cerning the growing crop and while the
vine seems to be doing fairly well and
arming out, still there is not that vigor
and growth that farmers would like TO
see. 1t is doing much better than two
weeks ago. The weather has been al
most too cool OF late for the best results
ANOTHER REPORT.
Advices from the interior OF New Eorl
regarding the effect of recent stormsupor
the growing crop were variable, some
| indicating that the vine was injured
while others were TO the effect that
good, healthy growth was stimulated
Whatever the outcome may be 1t wal
certain that buyers were quite as indif
ierent as they have been at any time o
late, both in purchases Of 1898 croI
goods and in contracting for hops of the
1899 crop. Brewers are buying moder
ately at present, and secure at old prices
what stock they may need. Some deal
ers are still seeking orders for the new
crop at Il 10 l5c guaranteeing choic
quality.

that she would have accomplished her
purpose had not more reassurng news
come to hand,
The war came to an early close, owing
to the military genius of General Jou-
bert, and, it is not too much to say, his
better half. The plans of the campaign
from the time Mrs. Joubert arrived till
the camp was struck were talked over at
her dinner table, her sound advice and
almost unequaled knowledge of Kaffir
warfare being held in high esteem.
Although such a warrior, Mrs. Joubert
is true woman. There is nothing mas
culine about either her appearance or
women, she is slim, especially when COM
pared with the robust proportions of Gen
eral PET Joubert. Wonderfully active for
her 60 years and over. she can accom-
plish as much hard work in an hour as a
town-bred woman would in week.
Needless to say, she is immensely popu-
lar among the burghers. To the sick she
is ever ready to lend assistance and
many dying man has blessed her minis
trations.
When not on the warpath Mrs. Joubert
is singularly retiring. Many Pretorians
have never seen her. although she lives
in their midst, in the town house of the
general, off Market street. Her prefer
ence however. is for the quiet of the
farm. where she loves to remain until
called forth to the battles of her country
by wifely affection.

~OR reason which apparently is
good and sufficient, the investi-
cation of Cookers crookedness
rapidly put on the features of a farce.
The people of New York know perfect
ly well that they are the victims of a
local administration which is manip-
ulated by Croker for the purpose of
running his private fortune up into the
,'millions-his percentage on everything
municipal means, more money that
Tweed stole. !! !If 3t5FE
But as soon as the Mazet investiga-
ftion began, it dawned on the people of
New York that nothing better than the
pull of rival and eminently corrupt
politician was back of the movement
to get Croker on the rack These mil
lions of taXpaying citizens would well
come a candid Investigation conducted
by men whom the public Is willing to
trust, but the idea of Plat 'investi-
eating" Croker was monstrous.
For Croker's side a clever play was
made when the demand was set up tina
Platt be investigated. That wasn't
what the movement was organized to
undertake. Mr.. Mazet and his repub-
lican associates refused to summon
Plat, Quigg, Crimmins, the represen-
natives of the Astoria Light and Power
company and the sponsors for other
Plat grabs, and thus the Croker game
to queer the committee worked like
a charm.
Not that the Croker ring is a whit
the less rascally-but when the public
confronted the idea that Plat was
running the investigation, that sealed
last state of the case in New York
worse than the first
