There is one fact that stands un-
disputed-there will be most ex-
tensive buying of the 1905 crop done
early in the season, as brewers will
be bare of goods of all descriptions
OF course, there are many short sell
ers in the trade who will not agree
with my views. but sooner or later
they will have to take their medicine.
So do it with good grace boys, and
look pleasant, as am confident that
20-cent prices and better will be the
ruling figures for 1906"
1t seems to me enough is presented
above to cause every grower to stop
and think seriously before selling
or contracting bale Of hops 1t
will be good sixty DAYS yet before
the real situation is known. If there
is to be any "worritin' o. sweating
we had better let the woHl1-be buy

CRIME AND IT'S PREVENTION.

William A. Pinkerton. the world
famous detective and criminologist.
recently said II think there is a
comparatively new class of crime in
America today. | mean the hold-up,
or 'stick-up men. as we call them
the men who rob the isolated drug
store and the saloon, and kill if their
demands are not complied with. 1t
is only during the past few years that
these men have caused much trouble
to the police Most of those who en-
gage in this sort of business are
young men whose perverted daring
and energy. turned into the proper
channels, might be useful to the
community. The young car barn
bandits of Chicago, who We're hanged
are examples. Then there are the
hoboes who are quite as desperate
who mean business, and are willing
to kill
| ascribe this criminality to sew
eral causes First, there is the yell
low covered literature. which poisons
the minds of those who read it and
makes heroes of desperadoes For
il all ! think there are two remedies
The first is the suppression of the
yellow covered publications. and the
second is the placing Of the boy who
shows early indications of hold-up
proclivities in the reformatory Juve-
nile courts for the very young and
uniformed are all right. The whip
ping post is a splendid thing for that
sort of offense, also, for in Delaware,
where they have it, there is less
crime than anywhere. The common
Jail is a bad place to put a hoy be-
cause there he is apt TO become a
