SOCIALIST VOTE INCREASES
A Jump From $50 in 1900 to 1874 This
Fall--Party Members Great
ExpectatIons.

Should the socialist vote continue to in
crease as it has in the past two years,
there will soon be another party for the
politicians to deal with. At the 1900 cleo
ton the two candidates of the two schools
of socialism polled together about $50
votes, or about one-ninetieth of the total
vote. In the election Of last Tuesday,
Peter J. Samson, the socialist candidate
for city treasurer, received 1894 votes or
about one-twentieth of all the votes cast
in the city. A similar increase in the
next two campaigns will place the social
lists away up near the front. One Of the
socialist leaders In the city said this
morning that the propaganda would be
actively carried on and predicted that So
cialism would be readily adopted by the
plain people and particularly by organ
lied labor.

Denies There Was a Promise to Take Tar

Denies There Was Promise to Take Tar
box into Partnership.
w. B. Jordan took the stand yesterday
In the suit Of G.. K. Sharood, trustee in
bankruptcy for Tarbox, Schlielx G. Co.,
against w. B. and w. J. Jordan, and de-
MED that the Jordans had ever made any
agreement with Tarbox to give him one
third interest in the shoe business fol-
lowing its purchase by them. Such an
agreement he. said, had been suggested
provided Tarbox could secure releases
from his creditors, but this he had been
unable to do, and so that part of the deal
had fallen through. Testimony in the case
is all in The opposing attorneys will
present their arguments Monday and
Judge Kelly of St. Paul will then take the
matter under advisement. Suit was
brought by the trustees to compel an &C.
counting between the Jordans and the
Tarbox creditors.

COST OF ELECTIONS

Primaries and General Election In City
Have Cost Not over Thirty
Thousand.
Notwithstanding the fact that the pri-
mary election cost over SIS, 900 it Is be-
lieved by Controller Joshua Rogers that
the expense Of the primaries and the gen
eral election together will be kept within
$4,000. Formerly the general election
alone cost that much or more and it has
taken some very close figuring and the
practice of the strictest economy on the
part of Controller Rogers and City Clerk
Lydiard to attain the above result. Many
Of the. election Judges complained of being
deprived of the many little things which
they had come to consider as necessities
at elections, but the lines were drawn as
tight as possible without actually impair
ing the service.

OREGON HOp CROP.

promised 10 be much larger and nearer

to estimate the probable yield as high
as 90, 900 bales.
"It is now evident that the crop is

evident from the returns from great
many yards In which the picking il

crops, bot the majority are disap-
pointed and are making complaint ct
the unexpected shortage in the yield.
However, what is lost in quantity is
being made up in quality. This has
been an ideal season for harvesting
the crop. and not since 1S9O--the year
the hop louise appeared the crop
been 90 free Of mold. The quality in
this state promises to be fine and much
above the average.
The Oregon hop growers will find
that their hops will be in great de-
mand this year, and that the English
buyers will be eager purchasers at full
values. The latest cable reports from
England state that the crop in that
country is coming down very light,
and that the mold is spreading
rapidly. Growers ere trying to pick
hops ahead OF the mold there. but
cannot keep pace With il, and it APP
pears that England will have another
crop OF poor quality and will have to
look to Oregon for choice hops.
ut is plain to great many dealers
that the New York state crop will be
less than $4,000 bales. This isa
marked decrease from that OF last year.
when the Empire state produced
81, 900 bales. Prospects never looked
brighter for the Oregon grover, and it
will pay him to give strict attention

them to proceed as soon as possible to
the Isthmus Of Panama, the Wisconsin
reinforcing the Panger At Panama and
the Cincinnati taking station at Colon.
Il will take the Wisconsin fully 20
days to make the long trip Of over
1850 miles down the Pacific coast to
Panama. The navy department had
intended to send the Boston, which
Is now getting ready for service at San
Francisco, 10 relieve or reinforce the
Ranger, but the alarming situation
which has 60 quickly arisen on the
isthmus prompted the officials TO take
more active measures to increase the
naval representation Of the United
Eistes In that section.
The Cincinnati will only consume
few days in her trip across from Cape
Haytien, and by the beginning Of next
week she should have reached the other
terminal OF the Panama railroad.
While the destruction OF Admiral
Killick's flagship swept away the
entire naval force Of Hayti. and naval
officials believe that the Cincinnati
can relinquish her post, there is
danger that some OF the ports where
American property interests are large
may suffer because of the practice
which has grown up in course Of the
rebellion of burning towns before evac-
uating them, and it has been decided
70 send the gunboat Montgomery to
replace the Cincinnati on the Haytian
coast. The Montgomery has just fin
ished participation in the maneuyers,
and is being oyerhauIed at the New
