"Mr. Winstanley SAYS that he knows
the circular letters sent out by some
of the dealers represent the quantity of
hops on the Coast to be double what is
actually in the hands of growers and
dealers. Mr.. Winstanley has just re-
ceived copy of a circular letter sent out
by dealer to the hop trade, saying that
he has hops to sell at 241sc delivered,
net cash This letter is misleading, says
the manager of the hop association, for
the reason that hops are not sold to the
trade for net cash. Hops are sold 80
to 90 days time, and this price is, there
fore, not such an offer as a brewer would
accept. The letter also contains a SEN
sational declaration that hop prices are
going to smash, which Mr.. Winstanley
says is conclusive proof that the dealer
is not in good faith offering to sell hops
at 241ac. A man who is in the market

HOP BUYERS TRYING HARD
TO BEAR The MARKET
But Reports Go to Prove That Hops
Are Scarce and Will Eventually
Bring SOC Per Pound.

The hop situation on the Coast and
even among the local dealers is narrow
ing down to a fierce fight between the
bears and bulls. The bears represented
by the buyer and bulls by the grower
have evidently locked horns over the
paramount question as to whether or
not SOC per pound is to be paid for the
remainder of the 1902 crop. Facts sim
mered down from the various market
reports and .leaned from authorities on
the present status OF the hop situation
seem to point to the inevitable victory of
the hop grower, who is now contending
for Soc price.
The breweries are buying from hand
to mouth says an exchange and will be
compelled to buy the hops still unsold
and paw the holders price for same.
Rumors of sales have been reported
at very low figures, but none of these
have been verified AS matter of fact
very little buying and selling is going on
at the present time except you hear oc-
casionally of brewery purchasing a
few bales here and there and paying 29c
and 30c for the privilege.
The Trade Register has the following
to say about the hop outlook and the
amount of hops held by dealers in the
states of Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia:
The hop market continues quiet with
very few transactions, the trade being in
the hands of the bears who occasionally
succeed in intimidating a weak-kneed
holder. The following dispatch from
Salem, Or, TO the Oregonian. fully corro-
borates what we have for weeks set forth
In this column showing the shortage of
hops on hands. with another prospective
shortage in this years crop and the safe
assumption that hops will yet reach the
30c mark
Reports have been received from diff
ferent sectors of this county to the
effect that the growing hop crop is
looking sickly, and that unless there is
radical change for the better, the crop
will not be large this year. Manager
James Winstanley, of the Hopgrowers'
Association, says that he has investi-
gated the conditions of the hop yards
and finds that the roots are affected
with brown rot, caused by cut worms
working at the roots. The tops of the

to sell would not be telling his customers
that prices are rapidly growing lower.
Mr.. Winstanley acknowledges that the
bears are at present in control of the
situation, but he says that, brewers are
buying from hand to mouth and will
eventually be compelled to buy the hops
still unsold. The fact that they are buy
ing from hand to mouth, as alleged by
dealers, shows that they have no extern
sive stocks on hand"
The following hop notes are taken from
the Puyallup Independent:
at is rumored that Dick Jeff of Pal
chic, has sold his hops at pic, and that
at one time he refused 26c.
1.-THE first hop contract for the season
1908 was recorded this week by Klaber &
Co. The contract is with B. l.. Lorenzo
of near Roy, for 5000 pounds at l41ac,
to be delivered in bales of $50 to 2l0
pounds each between Oct. | and Nov. l,
1908.
"The hop yards in Pierce and other
counties of this state have wintered well.
Sunny weather would bring the vines
along nicely.
"There is noticeable increase in acre
age"
A chattel mortgage covering the
Chung He Chung hop crop of $1,000
pounds, grown on the j. B. Jackson
farm at Fairfield, Or, was recorded at
Salem last week by S. & F. Uhlmann of
New York.
Hop growers in the vicinity of Wood

Sl,000,000 in repairs of its line be-
tween Oelwein and Kansas City this
fall. The expenditure consists of re-
placing $50 trestle bridges, with stone
and steel girder structures. relaying
fifty miles of track with S5-pound steel
and ballasting the road bed. This does
not include the expenditure of $l50.000
used in replacing the bridges across
the kaw river at Kansas City and re-
pairing the yards there.
The improvements on this division of
the road are the greatest made since
it was first built. 1t was necessitated
by the plans of the company to in
crease the thru business between Kan
sas City and the Twin Cities.
When the road was built, the ma
jority of the minor bridges Were wood
en- structures. They are too weak to
carry the heavy mogul engines, which
the road will install between Kansas
City and Oelwein about Jan. l. The
are now running the heavy
engines between Oelwein and Des
Moines, but have not attempted to run
them between Des Moines and Kan

A big reduction in time will be made
when the heavy engines are installed.

placing 6o-pound steel. 1t is the heav-
lest steel used on the Great Western.

Cedar Rapids, Aug. 13.-It is reported
on what appears to be good authority
that another interurban line will soon
be projected from this point and that
the work of securing right of way for
the proposed line will be begun within
the next few weeks. The line is to run
direct from Cedar Rapids to Indepen-
dence.
~ New York syndicate which has
had experience in the construction of
interurban lines and is we'll backed
financially Will undertake the building
of the new road. a representative of
the syndicate will arrive in this city
tomorrow evening for the purpose of
making preliminary arrangements
connected with the projecting of the
line and he will be here until the
franchises for right of way in Cedar
Rapids and towns through which the
road will pass. are secured.
This new line will run parallel with
the Illinois Central tracks to Albur-
nett and from there to Troy Mills on
the Wapsie, which is one of the best
inland towns in Linn county and from
there it will follow on to Quasqueton
in Buchanan county to independence.
The road will extend a distance of
about forty-five miles. The route is
one of the best that could be selected
for an interurban line between indie
pendence and this city, though the
cost of constructing may be more
than the proposed line from Indepen-
dence and Belle PLANE, surveys for
which We're taken some months ago
and on which active construction
work will be pushed rapidly in
short time. The independence Belle
Plane line will give the people in that
territory an opportunity to come to
Cedar Rapids over the Northwestern
from Belle Plaine, according to the
arrangements which have been sug-
gested and which appear feasible.
The building of the line from indie
pendence direct to Cedar Rapids thru
Alburnett, Troy Mills and Quasqueton
would be greatly appreciated by the peo-
pie of those towns and the entire farm
ing community in that section. The
rapid growth of Cedar Rapids in popu-
lation and in other ways, it's excellent
location and other advantages, make it
certain that within year or two inter-
urban lines will be running to this city
from the north, south, east and west.

GrinneII Man Has Miraculous Escape
From Death

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell Aug 12.-An accident the out
come of which was almost miraculous
in its nature, happened here yesterday
forenoon. Carl Coulson had been haul
ed to the top of one of the SmokeStackS
belonging to the Grinnell Electric and
Heating Company. The top of the
stack is about seventy-ive feet from
the ground and forty eight feet from
the top of the boiler The rope which
was used was taken from the same
coil that had furnished rope for pulling
1lues out of the old boilers. For this
kind of work a team of horses is need
ed. In some way. however, the rope
used to haul Mr.. Coulson to the top of
the smokestack was defective and Just
as he had gotten to the top and was
about to begin work it parted. The
man fell on the tin roof of the engine
house. Beneath it were boards that had
been charred by fire some time ago.
The tin simply sank down like the net
OF a high diver and IL was later learned
that not bone OF Mr.. Coulson's body
was broken. He struck on his hips and
back and this also was evidently for
tunate. The report last evening was to
the effect that Mr.. Coulson was some
what better and chances are for his re-

owing to the dilatory action of our city

ment. This was some weeks ago, but
