CRUISER WASHINGTON READY
FOR LAUNCHING.

The first war vessel that has ever been
launched from the ways Of the New York
Shipbuilding Company will dip into the
Delaware on Saturday, March IS. at flood
tide The new vessel is the cruiser Wash
ington, over whose bows Miss Helen Stew
ard Wilson, daughter Of former Senator
Wilson, of Seattle Washington, will break
the bottle of wine
This cruiser has been ready to leaye the
ways for two months, but the ice has kept
her in the ways thus far.
This cruiser, unlike any Of her prede-
cessors, has been built entirely under cover.
AS soon as she is launched the cruiser will
be towed into another covered berth to be
fitted out with her guns, armament and
equipment
The fair sponsor of the Washington is a
native Of the State for whom the cruiser is
named, but is at present pupil in a pri-
vate school in New York city
The Washington is sister ship of the
cruiser Tennessee, which was launched at
Cramps on December 3 The contract for
them was awarded at the same time
The Washinton is Of 14,5O0 tons dis
placement is 502 feet at the load water
line, has beam of Il feet 6 inches, draft
of "a feet inches, and is contracted to
speed twenty-five knots an hour.
There has been a greater percentage Of
competition upon the Washington than on
any warship built for the United States
Government, according to her builders.
The meaning OF percentage of completion
is the amount Of work performed toward
the completion of the boat, which the Navy
Department specifies must be done within
a certain period For instance, the laying
OF the keel is certain percentage of the
work completed The Navy Department
engineers specify bow long it shall take to
do this and all the way through the con-
struction specify the tiine for each part Of
the work. Being build entirely under
3covef, there has l,een no time during the
past severe winter when work had to be
stopped upon her
Alongside the Washington the battleshir
Kansas is rapidly forming She will prob
ably be ready for launching next fall
When the Washington is launched an(
brought around into the wet slip' to b,
outitted the berth she has just left will b.
speedily filed. The keel Of the batteshil
New Hampshire will 90 down at once. TIL,
contract for this vessel was the last on,
! given ont by the Navy Department.
The government constructors who hav,
supervised the building of the Washington
Captain ". n. Bealer, Lieutenant C. A
Eckert and Captain Baxter (now at tbs
Brooklyn Navy Yard, have all expressed
themselves as highly pleased with the meth
cd of constructing war vessels under cover
II is a return to first principles, for the ole
line Of battleships were all built under
sheds The immense sheds of the New
York Shipbuiding Company, higher than Z
siA-story Office building, can shelter several
vessels under construction

The committee ON plans and speeifica-
lions for the new Methodist church, con-
ssting OF b. T. Sowle, Byron IL. Mayo,
,nd William T. Moor, were in consultation
to-day with John L. Clark, architect, of

Total Cut of Lumber This Year
Drives Coming Along.
The total cut OF lumber on Union river
during the past winter is estimated at be-
tween 100000 and 100000 feet. The
principal operators are Whitcomb, Haynes
4 Co., Charles J. Treworgy and the Els

The drives, which have been slightly
delayed by adverse winds and low water,
are now coming along well, and the last
Of the logs are expected in by June 10.
The Webb's Pond and West Branch
drives, in fact, are already in. This drive
was small this year; only about 100000
ieet and was landed well down.
In the East Branch drive, in charge of
Henry French as usual, there are about
tUo,O0 feet, and in the Middle Branch
asrlve, with that Union river veteran, Ma
nun aaI Jordan, in charge, there are about
10000 feet.

which this man Is inflicting upon a
whole people with the bruises which
the striker inflicts upon his single
victim!
We know something about the ma
ture of the business of the manipulate
or of the meat market--even in ad-
vance of the investigation which the
government is carrying on. The peo-
pie have been doing, as they have a
right to do, a little investigating on
their own hook. Such careful and
circumstanstial reports as those of
Mr.. Russell give us facts enough on
which to base judgment.
Whatever the result OF the govern
ment investigation may be, the people
will have their own opinion. 1t is
their opinion. after all, that will be
decisive in this matter. And the day
is coming when it will be very plain
to everybody that it is not at all
worth while to become a multi-mil-
lionaire by methods which burden the
toilers of a nation, or lessen the life
blood in their veins.
We shall find ways of putting an
end to business of this nature, and of
setting the mark of Cain on the men
who practice it.

taken from a vine, is buried in the
ground in place of seed. The hops
are trained either on poles, or on a
trellis arrangement, which is said to
be better in the long run but more eX-
pensive at the start. When poles are
used, one is stuck into the ground
for each vine planted. The poles
stand Is feet high. During the first
year the vine grows about five or six
feet high, and the crop is almost
worthless, on account of the poor
quality of the hops. The second
years crop generally is fairly good.
and at five or six years the vine has
attained it's limit. although it is good
for 90 years longer, and perhaps
more.
The curing of hops requires consid-
cradle skill. A hophouse for a To-
acre yard costs about $500. The hop
house is a shed, with a floor of lattice
work some feet above the ground. The
hops are piled onto this latticed floor
to a depth of two feet and then the
furnaces are started and heat is APP
piled 1t takes "a hours to dry the
hops properly. Sulphur is used to
bleach the product, and care must be
taken to use exactly the right
amount. Skill is necessary also to
see that the burr of the hop is not
broken. as the most valuable hop is
the one which is broken the least.

will keep open house during the en-
tire reunion. On Thursday night a
ball will be given by the Sons of Con-
federate Veterans.
One of the many features for the
entertainment of the veterans will be
a moonlight excursion on the Ohio
river. This EXCURSION, rendered to
the Georgia encampment, will take
place on Wednesday night. The af-
fair will be similar to that given at
the time of the Grand Army national
encampment here several years ago.
The work of decorating the city
for the reunion will be commenced
on Monday. The committee in charge
of this part of the work has been
busy for months past and as a result
of its efforts it is promised that the
downtown district will be CARRIED in
gala attire to an extent never seen
here before. Hundreds of mammoth
flags and thousands of yards of bunt-
ing will be used in the work of en-
Enlistment. The national colors will
hide the fronts of public and private
buildings with here and there the
stars and bars of the confederacy in
tertwined with the national tricolor.
At night the city will shine in splen-
dor with tens of thousands of electric
bulbs outlined the hotel headquarters,
the reunion meeting place and numer-
Gus public editices. Several mammoth
arches of elaborate design will span
the chief thorough fares over which
the veterans will march in their an
nual parade.
Strings and festoons of colored
electric lights will swing over the
streets at every important corner.
Under the lights will hang confed-
crate flags and also American flags.
and each group will also show the
portrait of one of the noted generals
of the confederacy.
Hundreds of private homes will be
thrown open for the accommodation
of the veterans and the ladies who
accompany them. Countless others
will be provided for in the hotels.
| DESPITE the fact that the attendance
| is expected to break all records for
| the confederate reunions the local
committees announce that each and
| every visitor in Louisville during the
coming week will be provided with a
place to sleep and plenty to eat. to
say nothing of free entertainment on

PORTLAND, Ore, June 10.-The
hop vines in the experimental gardens
at the Lewis and Clark exposition are
one of the most interesting exhibits
at the fair, not alone because of their
remarkably rapid growth, but because
of the interesting figures that a study
of the hop industry in this state has
revealed.
While the first hops in the north
west were raised in Washington, and
that state is still a large producer,
Oregon for years has been the banner
state. and the 1904 crop amounted to
$4,000 bales of from $50 to 100
pounds, which brought on an average
of % cents per pound. The value of
the crop exceeded $4,000,0O0, or IS for
every man, woman and child within
the boundaries of the state.
A hop expert has figured that n hop
yard of 10 acres should net, on an
average, a profit of S1SS7.50 per year,
and that the cost of 10-acre hop
yard, including cost of land, hop
planting, cultivating and twining, for
two years, will amount to $3.50, a
profit of 81 per cent on the invest
ment
Hops are planted somewhat after
the manner of corn, except that the
hills are eight feet apart each way.
In planting, a slip, six inches long,

vlous. one. There are now between
40 apd so of these generals scattered
about the country, and word has been
received by the committee in charge
of arrangements that almost all of
theHtc are coming to Louisville to
mingle again with their former COM
rades in arms.
There will also be more camps rep

indicate that there viii be more vet
Grams in uniform than ever before.
Individually, as well as in commands.
they will participate in the events of
the week, clad in the gray similar to
that worn by them in the COS.
Another feature of the reunion in
the matter of attendance will be the
presence of several score of those
who were surgeons in the confederate
army. From widely separated parts
of the country they will come, add
ing another distinctive and interest
Ing feature 10 the enSeHlDle.
And while the veteran will be
placed prominently to the front dur
ing the week, with something pro-
vided for his comfort and entertain
ment every minute OF the time, yet
will there be much of social gaiety
and brilliance for the younger set.
There will be more sponsors here
and more social features than on the
occasion of any former reunion. The
daughter of General Joe Wheeler
has been chsen sponsor-in-chief and
she will be assisted by scores of the
fairest daughters of the entire south,
from Maryland to Texas and from
Missouri to Florida. Young men also
will be much in evidence as the re-
ports indicate that the Sons of Con-
federate Veterans, those to whom
falls the privilege of defending and
perpetuating the traditions of the old
south, will turn out in force. Morn
ing, afternoon and night it will be
one unbroken round of pleasure for
the younger set.
The big reunion ball will be giver
at the Gait house. This, of course
will be the largest and most brilliant
of the social features. The last eve.
ming of the reunion will be set aside
for an entertainment to be given by
the Daughters of the Confederacy
