HOLD THEIR HOPS
GROWERS LOOKING FOR a MUCH
HIGHER RICE.
Shortage in Worlds Crop Said to
Be Very Alarming TO Big Brew
erS-EngIiShmen Are Buying All
They Can i'm This State ard
and Oregon.

Tacoma, Sept. 2S.-Hop buyers here,
after close investigation, have decided
that the Washington crop will be about
20 per cent below what it was expected
the crop would be before picking be-
gan, or sc, 900 bales instead of 1000.
All of the shortage comes from West
ern Washington fields, where instead
of a crop of $4,000 bales there will
be but $4,000. The trouble was the
lack of moisture. The same condition
prevails in Oregon.
Dealers here say that the prices are
very strong and rapidly increasing. In
fact, the hop markets all over the
world are in an excited state, and the
chances, it is considered. are better for
dollar hops than for twenty years. A
feature of the local market is the re-
large English firms to buy up all the
hops possible, offering 20 cents. Grow
ers, however, are not parting with the
ir product, and there is little buving
or selling. A dealer who annually
handles many thousand bales of hops
said:
English growers are holding thier
hops, acting under the advice of the
National Hop Growers Association.
After considerable investigation the
association found that England was
short over 400, 900 cwt. The associa-
ton also ascertianed that it is abso-
lutely impossible for the continent or
America to spare the United Kingdom
half that amount. How to keep the
breweriesi II England going until the
1905 crop comes in is now a serious
question.
Nine tenths of the California crop,
80 per ccent of the Oregon and go per
cent of the Washington crops have al
ready passed out of the hands Of the
growers. In New York the growers
have sold 70 per cent. This at this
season of the year is unprecedented
in the history of the hop business. In
New York BIB cents is now being offered
and refused for hops. The heavy oper-
atoms in that state have caused the
growers to be very firm, and large OPP
erations are therefore looked for on the
Coast in the near future.

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Financial and
railroad circles were startled yesterday
by the preliminary announcement of a
proposed plan of settlement of the
Northern Securities litigation, the
Hill Harri Morgan dispute over
the merger case and for formation
of community of interest" plan so
broad i'll its sweep as to take in proper
ties reaching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. 1t was said late last night
chat settlement of the litigation is
assured as result of the conferences
now being held in New York and Phil
adelphia. These are attended by James
J. Hill, E. HI. Hartman, j. P. Nor
gan, A. j. Cassatt, Il. J. Berwend and
Others of the leading railroad map
makers of the nation.
1t is proposed that the Northern Sc
curities shall be dissolved and the
property distributed in manner salts
afctory to the federal authorities who
prosecuted the case, and at the same
time satisfactory to the big interests
behind. The method is said to be as
follows:
The Union Pacific Hartman Rock

ton and Quincy, now pare of the North
ern Securities.
The Great Northern, also part of
the Northern Securities, to be retained
intact by James j. Hill, its founder
and builder.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul (Rockefeller) to take the North.
ern Pacific and thus gain a through
line to the Pacific coast, which it has
long desired.
In addition to these moves, which
will all be in manner indicating
friendly relations, the community of
interest will provide an Eastern out
let for the Atchison, deal in which
it is believed the Pennsylvania, New
figure, as we'll as Morgan and Hill.
The latter are strong in Erie and the
proposition to make the Atchison and
Erie joint through line from coast to

eft of all.
The sharp advance in Northern Sc.
curities shares, following similar rap.
i'd and substantial advances in the
price of Union Pacific, Atchison, Erie

Olympia, Sept 29.-In affirming the
decision of the superior court of Kitti-

b. Goodwin, appellant, the supreme
court has upheld the constitutionality
of the act of the legislature of 1899
providing for the appropriation of

In appealing from this Judgment
condemning his lands, across which an
irrigation ditch of the respondent was
projected, Appellant Goodwin attacked
the law as in contravention of the Sec
tion of the constitution which provides
that no legislative measure shall cover
more than on subject in the title, also
because the law in question did not re-
quire due process of law in taking the
property and did not provide for the
payment of damages in addition to the
value Of the land taken. None of these
contentious was given weight by the
supreme court and the law was upheld

that turn out daily 1000 gross of but

prised If the average is larger than
that. but l am sure the figure is the
inside. What becomes of them Is an
other question. Some people save but
tons with the same zeal that miser

100000 year must arise from the
careless classes who lose or throw
them away when they come off their
garments. The industry is rapidly
growing, and the demand for the prod

are kept busy with their orders. 1t
is within the last dozen years that the
mussel shells has become prominent
among the enterprises of the inland
rivers, but at coast cities the process
is an old one. The increase in the
number of ready-made garments that
are sold is partly responsible for the
increase in the button industry. When
shirts and other garments are bought

the buttons, but in the oden days,
when the articles were made Mt home,
it meant something to save the but
