HANDSOME SERIES OF RAILWAY
LITERATURE.

We have received from the Grand
Trunk Railway system copies of their
tourist publications for the season of
1893, which are being circulated
throughout the country with a view to
making known the magnificent districts
reached by this vast railway system.
The publications are full of interest
the text giving graphic and concise de-
scriptions of the regions in northern
Ontario, including the Muskoka lakes
Lake of Bays, Magnetewan river and
the 10000 islands of Georgian bay. The
pamphlets are profusely illustrated
with half-tone reproductions of river
lake and inland scenery, with here and
there a deer hunting picture, or some
fishing scene that makes one long for
summer and the holidays.
The several pamphlets bristle with
pointers for the tourist, camper. hunt
er and angler, and copies should be OBJ
tanned before deciding on next sum
mer's outing. A postal card to w. p
Davis, G. p. & T. A. Grand Trunk
Railway system, Montreal. P. @. or to
Thomas Wynne, travelling passenger
agent, 1874 Washington street. Boston

Douglas Belts, the well known sheep
man of Pilot Rock, was in the city to-
day, says the East Oregonian. He
showed to several persons interested
some samples of what is here known az
the 'dodder weed" and which may be
recognized by people from farther east az
the "hell weed" 1t is a parasite. and
Mr.. Belts discovered it in his alfalfa
field. 1t has not to his knowledge APP
peared elseH here.
The dodder weed is thin, long vine,
which grows up close to the alfalfa
stalk and saps its substance, eventually
killing 1t. 1t runs sometimes from
stalk to stalk, and performs its mission
OF death to many stalks. Mr.. Belts says
that ii it be permitted TO spread during
the entire season it will cover a space of
many feet across.
He believes the seed was introduced
in some alfalfa seed that was brought
into this country. The dodder weed
seed is smaller than the seed OF the al
falfa, but looks somewhat like it. The
seed grows numerously, several bolles
containing one seed each appearing CD
each vlne.-Walla Walla Statesman.

Death of G. M. Allen.

After a prolonged attack of typhoid
fever, Geo. M. Allen breathed his last on
Tuesday night at his home on North
Second street. He was mending so rap
idly the past few weeks that it is thought
he over-estmated his strength. for on
Sunday he began to sink rapidly until
Tuesday evening, when he passed peace
fully away.
Mr.. Allen was born in South Danville,
New York, 81 wears ago. He came to
Washington a few years since, engaging
until this spring in farming near Tam
pico. He also had hop ranch near
Sunnyside. The funeral took place at
the home of the deceased at u O'Clock
today, the obsequies being 10 charge of
the Woodmen OF the World, in which
order Mr.. Allen carried a $1,000 policy. A
wife and several children and large cir
Gle OF friends mourn his loss.

the meeting was to devise means for

have fruit stand on some vacant lot,
where the visitors could purchase fruit.
1t was moved and carried that a vote
of thanks be sent to THE HERALD office
for printing the badges gratuitously.
The soliciting committee of the Red
Cross society earnestly beg all those who
have fruit, to donate what they can for
the fruit stand, which will be open

The Post Intellgencer speaking of the
recent demise of notedi pugilst, says
Green, in the meantime had commenc

lost his position at the athletic club sew

the most promising lightweight who ever
grew up in Seattle, made his appearance.
A six round match was arranged. 1t
took place in the Seattle theater Green

whipped his terrible left up and landed
it squarey on Green's jaw. Down went
the pride of the Seattle Athletic club like

HOPS ARE HOPS.
The Yie:d is Fine and the Prospects Good fo
Prices

Hop picking is progressing, with
abundance of pickers and ideal weather.
Hop growers are jubilant and the crop
will be the best in years. The crop re.
ports elsewhere are not so flsttering,
however.
The government crop report. dated
Seattle September y, saws: Hops
have been greatly improved by the
bright, warm weather of the past few
days, and there is little doubt that a fine
crop will be picked, especially in the
Yakima country, where they are at their
best
The Producers Price Current, n. Y.
states that "In this state picking is in
progress and present indications point To
less hops than last year, just what the
shrinkage will be cannot be stated until
after the crop is entirely harvested"
"Lupulio," in Mark Lane Express,
England, speaks of discouraging condi-
tons in the hop yards and says: "These
reports are by no meane encouraging to
those optimists who, to serve their own
purpose, have been and are still predict
ing an exceptionally heavy yield. | be-
gin TO think that unless marked change
of weather speedily takes place and
copioUs fall of rain becomes general the
crop OF hops this year will be much
lighter than has been expected and that
we shall probably be startled by the
shortage"
The Cooperstown IN. Y Farmer says
"The harvesting of the growing crop is
in full blast, and from all sides come
complaints of light yield. The esti
mates of shortage over last years yield
run all the way from thirty to fifty per
cent"
The Oneonta On. Y Herald estimates
that the hop yield will be about sixty per
cent of the crop of last year. Hops are
failure in the Willamette valley.
