When there is feeling that the heart
or lungs, blood or liver, brain or nerves
are diseased, at once commence to doc
tor the stomach. That is the founda-
ton of the trouble in 80 cases out of
every 100. Commence to regulate the
digestive organs, get them in good work
ing condition and the other troubles
will leave of themselves. Diseases
which have their beginning in the stom
ach must be cured through the stomach.
The medicine for stomach troubles and
half the ills of life is DR.. Gums I'M
proved Liver Pills. These pills put all
the digestive organs in good condition so
that disease has no basis to work upon.
They are sold by all druggists for 25c

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
Hop Market Prospects.

A Yakima hop grower has received
the following letter from the Oregon
Hop Growers association relative to the
situation in Oregon:
Dear Sir-I was pleased to receive yours
of the 2Sth inst. this morning. Replying
will say: | have not heard from you
how many bales you have pooled. l
would like you in your next to let me
know. We have pooled in this office
$3.50 bales and in the Portland office
May IL, 81 bales, making a total of
6,02l bales. l expect there are more
at Portland by this time. Dealers here
are offering 2O1a to 2l1a cents but there
are no sellers. There are quite num-
Der of orders from England, but the
dealers cannot fill them either here or
in California. If growers will only hold
fast for the next three weeks there will
be movement. There is CT rtainly a
movement in England this past two
days. They begin to see the worlds
crop is not going to be as large as they
expected and this fact alone will make
prices 60 up. We have to fight an organ
lied bear movement among the dealers,
and | wish we could induce the growers
not to let them have sample, or sell them
a bale of hops.
The following letter has been sent to
the hop growers in this section by Sec
rotary Winstanley:
SALEM, Ore, May 80, 1908.
We are pleased to inform you that we
have succeeded in forming the hop pool
and have at this time over 5000 bales
pooled in Oregon and Washington. We
strongly advise growers to hold firm for
the next three or four weeks. The mar
ket is sure to advance as the growing
crop all over the world is not in good
condition, there being many missing
hills and poor, weak vines.
The stock held in warehouses at the
present time is the lowest on record.
Dealers are Offering 81 and % cents in
Salem today and can't buy l saw an
offer of % cents f. o. b. Salem refused
by a dealer for 100 bales who would not
accept orders for less than "a cents. This
was bona fide offer and indicates the
tone of the market The market in
London has been more active the past
few days. Yours truly,
JAMES WINsTANLEY, Sec.

Herman Klaber, the well known local
hop factor, is quoted as saying that at
present there are in the hands of Wash
ington growers 600 bales OF their 1902
growth. Yakima has 5000 of these,
Western Washington, 1000. Yakima
growers have just formed pool and are
holding for 25 cents, and as they are fl
nancially able to do so, they will proba-
blv stick together. This action practi
cally takes those hops off the market, as
the price asked is prohibitory just now.
Western Washington growers are hold
ing their last years crop at 20 to % cents,
but can get now only Il to 10 cents.
One firm has just completed the purchase
of lots aggregating 400 bales in several
localities OF Western Washington at l71a
and Is cents.
About 900 bales of the coming crop
have been contracted at ii and Is cents
during the past month, both here and at
Yakima. Growers have been rather
backward about accepting such offers,
but during the past week, as the season
progress es. the offers have begun to look
more attractive, and growers have begun
to make themselves safe.
The present acreage in Western
Washington is 5000, and in Eastern
Washington, which means Yakima, the
20, D 6
5 per cent over last year, about evenly
distributed in both districts.
The conditions of the growing crop are
backward and it is impossible at present
to predict the extent of the yield.-W est
