Washington, April 5.-The proceed
ings IN the house were enlivened by
speeches by Messrs. Dearmond and
Grosvenor, the former attacking the
republicans for their failure to order
an investigation into the postoffice
charges and to revise the tariff. and
the latter vigorously defending the re-
publican party and lauding President
Roosevelt for the part he played in
the postal investigation, the passage of
the Cuban reciprocity law and the
treaty with Panama for the construc.
ton of the isthmian canal Mr.. Prince
of Illinois, in vigorous speech, pre-
dicted friction between the general
staff of he army and the secretary of
war. The military academy bill was
pas I'd without amendment. The
senate listened to a two-hours' speech
by Mr.. Morgan on the Panama canal
question and then again took up the
postoffice appropriation bill but adj
journed without completing it's con-
sideration. Some important amend.
ments, aside from those suggested by
the committee, were agreed to. among
them one increasing from 2 to
ounces the size of ranked letters. and
another adding % members to the
force of rural free delivery agents

best in Polk county, will be in charge
of Miss Rosa Smith and Miss Evan

recently completed at a cost

MAY INCREASE THE ACREAGE
High Price of Hops VIII Probably
Result in Expansion of the
Industry.

The veterans in the hop trade are
speculating on what the farmers will
do with the pile of money they are
making, says Saturdays Oregonian.
The general belief is that the growers
will expand their business, investing
their profits in larger yards. Hops
are going to be good property for
few years, or at least until surplus
has been accumulated, but after that,
look out. History has always repeated
itself and its course probably will not
be changed in the future. Only few
years ago the hop business was SO
overdone that it was followed by
plowing up of yards and the wise ones
predict that the same thing will happen
again.
But in the meantime the growers
have the best of the situation and all
OF them, even those that sold early,
have money in the bank. AS an
instance of the profit in hopgrowing
in Oregon this year, the case can be
cited Of one farm of 2s acres which
has produced $4,000 pounds Of hops.
AT the present value the crop is worth
$4,000. Extra care was taken in
cultivating, irrigating and spraying,
but the cost was only IL cents pound.
This farm yielded 1900 pounds to the
acre. The average yield in Oregon
the present season is placed at about
$50 pounds, though had the season
been more favorable, the average
would have been 1000 pounds.

Goes to California.

James T. Yoakum, for many years
a successful hopgrower at Bridgeport,
left on Monday for Brawley, Cali
fornia, where he will take charge of a
64O-acre farm belonging to I. A.
Livesley, Of Salem. He was accom-
panied by his sister, Miss Matte
Yoakum, who came here from Ten
nessee last Spring. The Livesley
ranch is about thirty miles from San
Diego, and is said to be one of the
best tracts of land in Southern Cali
fOrnia. Mr.. Livesley has planted one
acre Of hops on this ranch as an ex-
pertinent, and if the crop natures, he
will set out a large yard. He has
capable hop man in the person Of
Jimmy Yoakum, and if hops can be
grown at all in Southern California,
the best possible results will be reached
through the new foreman's method Of
cultivation.

as reported. the forward march will be
accompanied by the most formidable
bomoardment Admiral Togo has yet
made on the city.
While the Japanese are known to bo
strengthening every position and pre-
pairing to move forward to Port Arthur,
the position OF the Russians. according
to tho most reliable dispatches re-
ceived here. is equally strong.
Russian Stronghold.
The Russians have three stronsholds
I'm the Mukden district which, accord
ing to St Petersburg, are invulnerable.
They have the Port Arthur Railroad
guarded from Port Arthur north to
Mukden. and they are intrenched at
Newchwans in great numbers.
Aside from these strongholds. tho
Russians have the north side of the
Yalu River. and the Japanese will have
great difiouity in making progress into
Manchurta, even should they succeed
IN crossing the river from Corea.
All reports received here agree that
the great land armies are now almost
together and that the decisive blow may
be expected at any time. Both sidos
are being reinforced constantly. and a
land battle will be most serious TO tho
losing side.

Toxic, Aug. II, II a.m.-Six hun
dred and one of the crew of the Rus
sian armored cruiser Rurik, sunk in
the engagement Sunday with the Jap
anese squadron commanded by Admiral
Kamimura, have been landed at Sase-
DO. One man died and 1T Of the sur
vivors are wounded, many Of them ser
iously, and a number mortally. The
number of officers rescued has not
been determined as all the survivors
were naked when captured having
stripped off their clothing before the
cruiser sank. Thus it is impossible to
distinguish the officers from the other
men, as the former are concealing
their rank.

Togo's casualties on Aug. 10 increases
the total of killed and wounded to 225.
