CHALLENGE HOP YIELD.
Lane County Yard Turns Out Nearly
5000 Pounds Per Acre.

The best record for hopyards that
has been reported this season, or in
fact for several years, comes from the
yard of George A Doris, near
Springfield, which is regarded as one
of the best yards in the county Mr.
Doris has 10 or IL acres, and from the
first five acres picked and baled he
had $4,000 pounds of hops, or yield
of $500 pounds per acre. The yard
foreman says that instead of this re-
port coming from the choice parts of
the yard that the whole yard will not
fall below that average, and single
acres could be picked that would yield
5000 pounds.

In the livestock department of the Ore
gon state fair. For many years the
most progressive and enterprising
breeders and dairymen have been
striving for something better than
what they already had, and each
achievement has but spurred them on
to another effort
The farmer generally was not appre-
clat1ve of the endeavors of the breed
ers until in the last few years when
dairying became a promising occupa-
tion, and farmers found that thew
must raise less wheat and more stock
in order to maintain the productive
qualities of their land. Now every
one places a proper estimate on the
value of the livestock breeders serv-
ices to the country as whole, and
gerat interest centers in the relative
merits of the different cattle. individ-
uals and herds shown at the fair.

EXPECTS NO BIG BOOM IN SILVER.
Department Official Denies Philippine
Coinage ls to Be Melted.

Washington, Spet. 17.-Colonel Ed
wards, chief of the insular bureau of
the war department, denied the widely
circulated report that the new Philip
pine coinage will soon disappear in the
melting pot, owing to the greater value
of silver as bullion.
"The present rise in silver is, in my
opinion, merely reaction from a long
period OF depression. Looking pack
over the last six years, the increased
use of silver in the arts has been too
small to warrant anything of the sort.
and the leading continental nations of
Europe that use silver in their coinage
are not enlarging their purchase. So
where is the pretended great use to
come from?"

in the council about the filth and dust
that are swept out Of the business
houses every morning into the faces Of
citizens who have to pass on their way

1t was ordered several weeks ago that

1t is doubtless true that Mayfield
contributes substantially to the Grim

goodly portion of the malefsctors who
have their trials semi-annually before

very undesirable lot Of "pistol foters'

"Mayfield is tolerable straight, NOR

in the fullness Of time. One reason,
mayhap, why the city creates an un-

The prosecution in the Howard case

nothing that will be in his favor il il
can be helped. An effort was made
yesterday to prove Youtsey's motive
in ''confessjng" by introducing his
wife 10 prove what he had told her,
but the prosecution objected and Judge
Cantrill of course sustained the ob1ec-
ton. Yet the witness Cecil was al.
lowed to tell number Of things that
several persons not on trial or before
the court were alleged to have said
when it could not have possibly had
any bearing in the Howard trial, ex-
Dept to prejudice the jury against any
man VINO is Republican. 1t seems
very plain, as the Howard trial pro-
crosses, that Youtsey was Influenced
by hope of favor at the hands Of the
political prosecutors at Frankfort. II
the fair and able Judge Cantrill would
permit it, il could be shown that he
was treated like brute at the peniten-
tiary until he agreed to "oonfess" and
since then he mas had dead easy
time. 1t could have been proven by
his wife how differently he had been
treated according to his statements to
her, before and after his determination
to CONFESS" but the court wouldn',
allow it. 1t would show up the COM
monwealth's methods too plainly.
