E. c. Kirkpatrick, of Dallas, Paws
Highest Price of the Season for
Polk County Crop.

The prediction that 1904 hops would
reach the 30-cent mark was fulfilled
yesterday when E. G. Kirkpatrick, the
well-known Dallas buyer, paid that
price for the D, B. Taylor crop of 300
bales at Independence. Mr.. Kirk
patrick was the first buyer to pay %
cents, figure at which many Polk
county hops have since been sold.
Nearly all Of the hops grown around
Dallas this year have been sold. and
1t is said that there are only three
crops remaining in the hands of the
growers in this district at the present
time. The prices paid have ranged
from 26 to 28 cents, the average being
about 279 cents. The farmers evil
IDENTIFY considered it good policy to
avoid speculation and sell on the first
market, especially when the price
offered was sufficient to reimburse
them for the expense. Of raising and
harvesting the crop and leave them
handsome profit, as was the case this
year. The small amount of hops in
the farmers hands at the present time,
however, is best accounted for by the
fact that nearly all the yards around
Dallas were bought by the dealers be-
fore the picking season began.
e. @. kirkpatrick reports the recent
purchase of 8G5 bales at prices rang
ing from 81 cents upward. These
purchases are as follows: John Orr,

to him in the evening mail. He gets through all this by 10 o'clock, and at that hour he. the members of his fam fly and guests who may be in the house, assemble about table in the upper hall deck Of cards and a box of chips are brought out and the game begins. It lasts until Il o'clock, after which hour five jackpots are played.
 White chips are worth a quarter and the reds ard blues in proportion, and the amount of money that would change hands in an evenng over that table would be large if real money was played for. As it is, everybody quits even. MT. Davis has never staked a cent on a card game in his life, but plays with as much zest as il money were involved. He finds that this evening game takes his mind oil his business and enables him to sleep soundly.

THE GREAT AMERICAN GAME IS q REGULAR FEATURE AT

The Chips Have a Nominal Value, But No Money Ever Changes Hands The Game Takes the Mind Off Business.

Washington, Aug, 4.-Should Henry G. Davis be elected to the vice-presi. dency and after succeed to the presi- de-cy the great American game of draw, poker would of necessity becomea a regular institution in the White House. There is seldom an evening, except on Sunday. when MT. Davis IS in his home at Elkins that the regular poker game is omitted.
 An evening mail is received at Elk ins about dinner time. There is an outgoing mail early the next morning. This makes it necessary for Mir. Davis to devote the early part of the evening to reading and answering his core spondence and deciding upon business propositions that may be submitted

Tom CrindelI
 Back From Trip
HE VISITED THE Ti5uRON is- LAND, AND FOUND THE SERBS
 WERE NOT HOSTILE.
Natives in Interior of Sonora h. cline Toward American Methods and Manners and Are in Favor of Annexation.

Tom Grindell, of Douglas, arrived this morning from a most interesting two months sojourn in Sonora. His objective point was Tiburon Island and the coast line adjoining. A weeks stay amongst the Seri Indians con vinces him that the stories told of their warlike tendencies are false. He found them simply fish eating be- ings of low type, much inferior to the Yaouis.
 On the island are no more than thirty natives, who live on turtles and fish. These natives are of large frame and inclined to be corpulent- Their sole weapons consist of two old Springfield rifles with no ammu- milton.
 Mir. Grindeil went from theie through the Yaqui country and the region of the Mayo and Fuerte rivers He is not surprised that the Yapuis fight for their valley. for it is very fertile. It is the garden spot of So- nora. The Mayo Indians are further south in the Mayo valley and tse Fuerte These three valleys will in time develop into a remarkably rlcCh agricultural region. Even now great plantations of cane, tobacco, corn ana maguey are seen. Cattle raisilg is the important industry of the foothills, The old city of Alamos is the center of traffic in the extreme siuthell part of the state. A railroad connecting it with the seaboard will aid this rich section in its development. The min Tnd ic m its infancy. Immense placer fileds are being opened by American companies
 MT. Grindell states that much 10 his surprise he found a strongly rpo;e1 sentiment among the citizens for an- nexation 10 the United States They look to us to develop their country for them.
 European dress and customs arc still retained by the people, though American ways and methods of busi- ness are making inroads; and our ma ohlnery, wagons, farm implements and prepared meats are used exclusively
 The irrigation plants of the old Spaniards of a century ago have long ceased to be. but the present owners of the great fertile valleys are again diverting the underflows of the rivers into great canals for the purpose of irrigation.
 It is singular. MT Grindell says. that Americans should know so little con corning the vast natural wealth of the great state Of Sonora. when it is our nearest neighbor. During the next ten years the attention of our investors will be directed toward this rich field for speculation, and the English Ian guage will be heard in every corner of the state. It surprises one even now at the number of Amercans a traveller meets at every place he stops.
 Muleback is the method of travel throughout the. interior, and fifty miles day is no unusual distance for sev- eral days journey. The people are hospitable, but have learned well how to charge an American for what he gets.
 Mir. Grindell makes the rather sur prising statement that he considers travelling in Sonora just as safe as liv- ing on our border towns. He has trav- eled much, but considers this the most interesting trip he has ever made.
