HOP MARKET SLOW.
Advices from Dealers All Over the
Country are Discouraging.

I'VE are not anxious buyers; mar
ket Is slow and irregular" This
telegram was received from one of
the best known hop firms in the east,
in answer to an inquiry of one Of
the local hop buyers in this city yes
terday.
The hop situation today is not at
all encouraging to the grower. In
fact, the indications up to yesterday
point to very uncertain demand. The
brewers seem to have the situation
pretty well in hand, and they are de-
termined to dictate the prices from
now on. Advices from all over the
east indicate slump in the market
from even the present low market
quotations. One firm in New York
stated that IL cents was the highest
price for choice hops at that time.
Another advice stated that choice
Sacramentos had sold for 8 cents
The tenor Of all private advices is
in fact very discouraging to the hop
grower, not only Of the Yakima val
ley, but in every hop district in the
United States. England's gigantic
crop has played havoc with the grow
er, from one end Of the country to
the other. There is not any demand
at the present market quotations.
and choice hops here will only bring
9 cents. prime hops 8 to sh cents.
while the lower grades are selling
for whatever the grower can get.
Some lots have been sold as low as
RI cents.
The best advices that are to be OBJ
tanned upon the local conditions are
unable to hold out any encourage
ment to the grower in this valley.

SOUND ADVICE.
North Yakima Hotel Mans Advice to

I. B. Turmoil, the popular boniface
Of North Yakima, never loses an op-
portunity to boost for the Pacific

to a friend in Wisconsin, which was
published in the Northwest Home

much sound advice, and gives such
a good idea Of this country that it
is believed eastern readers of the
Herald will be benefited by reading
it. Following is the letter in full:

FATAL WRECK
on ELEVATED
one KILLED AND MANY INJURED
Fire Apparatus Used to Rescue the
Victims Of . rrightful Acct
dent to New York Trains.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1s.--In one Of
the most extraordinary accidents
known to American railroading two
heavily loaded passenger trains
came together on the elevated
tracks Of the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad tonight in
Harlem. One man was killed and
forty were more or less seriously in
-5ured.
Both the colliding trains were
east bound. One was the Stamford
local, the other the Poughkeepsie
express. Rushing along on parallel
tracks the two trains suddenly came
together. The local was switched
from the third track onto the fourth,
and in an instant the express dashed
into the day coach following the
smoking car Of the local. The tracks
at the point where the collision oc-
CURED are about thirty feet in the
air. This made the work of rescue
difficult, and lent materially to the
terror Of the passengers.
Fire apparatus was summoned,
and many persons were rescued by
means of ladders placed against the
structure. Serious injuries befell
most Of those in the car demolished
by the express train.
John d. Horn, engineer of the ex-
press train, was arrested tonight on
the charge OF manslaughter, but he
was later released on bail.
No one on the Poughkeepsie
train, so far as is known, was in
1ured.

present conditions.

NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAM
klD Up AND ROBBED

The desperadoes who held up and
robbed the North Coast Limited pas
senger train last Sunday evening at
Hillside, eleven miles north Of this
place, have not yet been apprehend-
ed, nor has any clue to their where
abouts been ascertained.
On Sunday afternoon N. P. De-
tectives Cummins and Hyman found
the trail of the two men on top of
the ridge just east of where the
nold-up occurred, and followed 1t for
distance Of three miles, within a
stones throw of Selah station. They
are positive that the trail they fol-
lowed was that of the two men who
committed the robbery, as evidence
was obtained to bear out their be-
lief. A gold watch was found, bad
ly shattered by the explosion Of the
dynamite, and had evidently been
thrown away when found to be of
no value. A glove was found along
the trail which proved to be the
mate Of another found at the place
where the explosion occurred. At
another point along the route OF the
fugitives, place was discovered
where they had stopped to rest, and
the full print Of one rife was dis
cerned in the snow. These discov-
cries do away with the theory that
the robbers had boarded the same
train they held up. and made their
escape in that manner.
The most feasible theory that has
been advanced so far Is that the
bandits came directly into town
from the scene of the hold-up. and
have been here ever since. In any
event, they have proven a mystery
to the sleuth hounds.
The actual scene of the hold-up
was visited on the night Of the rob-
berry by a reporter for the Morning
Herald. The place the robbers Sc
lected to do their work was In one
Of the most secluded spots in the
Yakima canyon. The top of the ex-
press car was blown into kindling
wood. A piece of one of the safes
from the scene of the explosion, and
debris of all kinds was strewn along
both sides of the car. The bandits
did good job. and have succeeded
in eluding the officers thus far.
PORTLAND, Dec. 1S.-The Even
ing Telegram says the two men who
held up the North Coast Limited
near Hillside, Washington, Satur-
day night may be identical with the
men who held up the Centennial sa-
loon in this city Friday, getting
away with over 800 and shooting
Thomas Fleming who roaisted them
so that he died the following day.
The saloon hold-ups were traced to
Goble. where 1t is reported that an
attempt to captWe them met with
resistance, the men escaping across
the river. It Is surmised, according
to the Telegram, that the men con-
tinued northward, and committed
the train robbery.
The descriptions of the men who
committed the robbery In this city.
and of those who robbed the North
ern Pacific train, so far as can be
learned, are identical.

FIVE MINERS MAY DIE.
Result OF an Explosion i'm the Cabin

Kayford.
(Ev the Associated Press.)

Charleston. w. Va, April 20.-A
mine eXplos.on in the Cabin Creek
Mining Company's mines near Kay
ford, about 80 miles above here late
this afternoon may result in the death
of five miners and the fatal injury of
three others 1t was only one month
ago that a similar disaster snuffed out
the lives of 20 men at Rush Run,
near the scene of the catastrophe of
today. The disaster is said to have
been caused by a powder explosion,
the result of a miners carelessness.
About 5 o'clock after many of the
men had left the mine there was
sharp report followed by an explosion
which threw debris in all directions
The tipples took fire and were soon a
mass of flames. Nine men were still
within the mine when the explosion
occurred. OF these four reached
safety With the assistance of friends
Three of the number were so seri-
ously injured that they are not ex-
pected to live. The remaining five
men were still entombed at a late
hour. 1t is believed that these men
are dead as they were at least two
thousand feet below the surface when
the explosion took place. Those who
were buried in the mine are: Burt
Green, Charles Nichols. Ira Nichols.

(By the Associated Press.
Greensburg. Pa. April 20.-A dis
tressing accident resulted tonight from
the explosion of a bottle of gasolene
in the home of John f. Kunkle, in
Maple Avenue, three children of the
family being burned to death and a
ofurth so seriously injured that recov-

children from the burning homes were

The parents of the children left
them in charge of Mrs.'k Kunkle' S

they went to Holy Week services in
their church.
Their children had been put to bed.
One of them called for a drink and

JEFFERSON WILL RECOVER.
There Was Every Indication of This
Last Night.
(By the Associated Press. }

(By the Associated PreSS)
West Palm Beach, Fla, April 90
There is every Indication tonight that
Joseph Jefferson will recover.
Charles B. Jefferson, his son, is con-
fident; DR.. r. b. Potter, his physician,
is hopeful, and Mabel Bingham, the
nurse, thinks the worst is over.
The reports that Mr.. Jefferson was
suffering with pneumonia are untrue.
His illness is due to over eXertion
while on a visit to Hobe Sound. Adj
ded to over exertion was a general
weakness caused by indigestion from
which he suffered last spring. This
ailment returned and was in itself
very pronounced. Tuesday night
when there was such decided change
for the worse. 1t came after days of
failure to retain nourishment. AL
though he told his son Frank, who
was at his bedside at that time that
he wanted to pass away quietly, indi-
eating that he appeared fearful of the
end, he was the first yesterday to say
that he would recover and today has
been talking cheerfully and asking
that arrangements be made for his
return to his Northern home.
From what DR.. Potter says the as
surance of recovery came when Mr..
Jefferson was able to retain nourish-
ment. This favorable condition was
pronounced today when he called
