The hop crop of Oregon is now
about harvested, and the indica-
tions are that not less than IS, 900
to 10000 bales will be ready to be
put on the market in few days.
The crop is far better than was
supposed would be the case, for the
reason that many growers-in fact
the majority of them-fpding mold
in their yards, carefully culled the
damaged vines, thus somewhat re-

Name MAD Stunned the rarn1.-

Maj. Samuel B. Jones, of the regular
army, is now quartermaster at Boston.
He served with distinction until recentlv
in the Philippines, says the PHILADELPHIA
Saturday Evening Post
A curious local custom in Luzon author
ICES native to take and use a foreign
name, generally Spanish, in addition TO his
own Tagal patronymic. This accounts
for the multitude of such sonorous names
as "Agramonte," "Uriarte," and Polo
beta"
The major had Won the gratitude of
native, who announced his determination
to adopt the American family name of
Jones before it occurred to him that there
is no equivalent for 'tJ'' in either Span
ish or Tagal. He had it written out for
him by a soldier, to whom he gave a box
of cigars for the trouble, and then de-
parted from the camp. Some time after
ward the native came into camp and was
addressed by his new name. He looked
worried, and called his interlocutor aside
and explained to him his troubles
please don't call me by that name" he
said plaintively. 'You see, 1 took that
written name home to my village and
showed it to my relatives. They were very
much pleased, but when they tried to read
il no two pronounced it alike. Rather
than have trouble in the family am look
ing for a brave American whose name is
ConDre hensible."

UnsIsined rs a Wnter Drinker.

Of the many interesting stories told of
ex-Gov William J. Stone of Missouri, none
are more pat than an incident at Wash
ington Hall on the night of his speech
there just prior to the election, says the
Omaha Bee.
AS everybody who has ever met "Bill'
Stone knows, he is a hale fellow well met,
and. despite the error of his politics, there
is not a bigger hearted or more genial
man in all America. When he works he
works, and when he talks he talks, conse-
quently he is a forcible speaker. He ex-
pounded Popocratic doctrine at Washing
ton Hall until his throat became dry. The
Committee on Arrangements had placed
a pitcher of water and a glass on the ia
bic near the speaker. Mechanically he
reached for drink. The glass had been
left upside down or in an inverted posi-
ton, as the man from Maine would say
and when the former Governor of Missouri
poured water out of the pitcher it flowed
on the bottom of the glass and out over
the table. A tittering crowd warned the
statesman that something was wrong He
glanced at the table. He saw He con-
quered-not by suppressing the flow, but
by his wit.

Stone this little incident will show YOU
that 1 am a dyed-in- the-wool Missouri
Democrat, and am not accustomed TO
drinking water"

WATER RATES AGAINST RAIL
II ATEG

The statement in our dispatches yester-
day that arrangements are being made TO
ship Western grain to Europe by way Of
Montreal is well calculated 10 alarm New
York, Baltimore. Newport News and Cal
weston. The greater part of the grain that
is now sent abroad is exported through
these ports. and the loss Of this trade
would be a very serious blow TO their bust
ness
The plan is to build great elevators at
Montreal and take the grain there by way
Of the lakes, canals and the river in steam
ers Of great carrying capacity, built for
the purpose. These steamers, Il is said,
win carry the grain to Montreal during
the months when the canals are open, and
will be employed in carrying Inc grain to
Europe when the canals are closed. II is
asserted that the grain can be transported
from the West to Europe much cheaper
by the water route than by the rail and
water route.
New York has been complaining a great
dear recently of her loss Of grain trade.
Only a few days ago committee of Chi
cago grain men were in that city to find
out why 1t was that the cost of shipping
grain through there was so great. The
conclusion they came to was that the port
charges at New York were altogether too
high. It is because of the high charges
the West goes abroad by way of Balti-
more, Newport News, Galveston and New
Orleans New York has been trying 10
bring the cost of handling grain at her
wharves down, so as to regain the grain
trade she has lost, but she has not been
successful. If this Montreal movement is
successful she will probably lose the grain
trade that stiI remains to her.
The railroads. however, will have some
thing to say about this effort to divert
the grain movement from United States
ports to Canadian port They will not
give up the immense grain carrying trade
they now nave without making a very Wig
orous effort to retain it. And it is not
improbable that they will be able to hold
a large part of it. They will compel
the ports TO reduce their port charges and
they will reduce their freight rates.
There is going to be the most vigorous
hlnu OF competition between the rail routes
and the water route and it is impossible
to say whether the water route will trl-
umph over the rail routes or not.
In this connection it will be recalled
that the New York Central recently is
sued many millions of dollars of additional
stock for the purpose of improving its road
beds, and for the purchase of additional
rolling stock. 1t is not improbable that
that corporation had some information as
to what was proposed in the way of a
water route from the West to the sea-
board, and began to prepare al once for
the water route competition. If this Mon
Ueal scheme materializes twill not be
long before the roads leading from the
grain fields of the West will have rails
much heavier than those they have at
present, their locomotives win be far more
powerful and their cars will have double
their present carrying capacity. Il is
within the bounds of probability that 1t
will be demonstrated that grain can be
carried at a lower rate by rail routes than
by the water route

A sensational story is brought back from
Manila by the purser Of the transport
Sheridan, which recently arrived at San
Francisco, respecting the death in battle
of Maj. John A. Logan, son of Gen. John
A. Logan. The story is that Maj. Logan
was not killed by the bullets of Filipino
sharpshooters, but fell under the fire of
some of his own men. The Major, accord
ing to the story was much disliked by
the men, on account Of his overbearng and
tyrannical manner and even before
he and his command reached Manila there
were muttered threats that he would not
live through his first battle.
