ROGUE RIVER VALLEY HOPS.
Acreage Has Been Doubled and Yield
Promises Well.

Grants Pass-Hop prospects in the
Rogue River valley are superb this
year, and this district is rapidly getting
to be one of the steadiest and best hop
producers on the Pacific coast. 1t is
200 early yet to say what prices will be,
but they stand at present at "a to 25
cents, without buyers, and little or
none offered by growers. The ENG
lish cluster is little ''off'' in some
sections Of the valley this year, but the
natives are reported very strong. The
crop of 1906 will nearly double the
acreage of that of 1904, which was in
theIneighborhood of 800 acres, or about
300, 900 pounds; the average yield be-
ing 1000 pounds per acre.
Hop growers have at last been arous-
ed from their long sleep, and many Of
them have given their yards splendid
| fertilization and cultivation this year
John Rauazan, who has the largest
yards in the county, comprising 81
acres, and several others in his vicini.
ty, whose yards lie along the bank o.
Rogue river, have installed splendid
gasoline engines and pumps, SO thai
their yards will be finely irrigated.
The total acreage OF yards in tha
county at the present time is 7o8 acres
of which the new yards planted thil
year and which will not be in full bear
ing until next year, comprise 100 acres
leaving 54S arces of yards which will
be in full bearing the present year. 4
great many parties have purchased lane
in the far famed Rogue river vale,
with view to putting in yards mex
year, and should the price of hops g,
up, the Rogue river valley will becom
one of the big hop districts of the coast

MINING TOWN in PATH OF FLOOD
Reports of Dead Vary From 100 to.
I,ooo-Storm Came Suddenly
in Dead Of Night.

Mexico City, July 4.-Reports are.
current here that from 100 persons up
ward, with one report claiming even.
l 900, have been drowned in q great
flood at Guanajuato, a mining city,.
now the important seat of activity by
several large American and British
companies. The wires were down all
day yesterday, and the roads were i'm
passable. No news has been received,
and two reports are current, one saying
l 1000 were killed, another says that at
least 100 were drowned.
Late tidings are that Guanajuato iss
completely flooded and water is already
invading the higher parts of the town,
while there is fear that the Laolla dam
may give way, which would mean COM
plete and general ruin.
The city is built in great gorge in
the mountains, and the streets ramble-
up the mountain sides in picturesque,
fashion.
A storm began furiously on the night
of June 80, and after midnight no one
dared to go to bed, 80 tremendous was
the fury of the elements. The water
rose in the lower or business streets,
flooding shops and damaging thousands
of dollars worth of merchandise.
The lower streets became raging tor
rents as the water poured in rivers
down the upper streets. Doors were
smashed in by the force of the water,
and windows were no protection against
| the furious flood.
Later advices state that it is known
that over 100 lives were lost at Guiana
juato. A dispatch to President Robin
son, of the Mexican Central railroad,
says there are 1000 dead at Guiana
ljuato.
The town of Maraflo, just below
Guanajuato, is completely wiped out

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST

Lane County Lines Up Under Krebs'
Management.

Management.
Eugene-A large number of hop
growers of Lane county met in Eugene
last week to take preliminary steps to
help form a gignatic corporation to
handle the crop of the Pacific coast and
to control prices. Conrad Krebs, of
Salem, president of the Krebs Hop
company, which has 624 acres of hops
at Independence and Brooks, is at the
head of this big movement.
A general convention will be held at
Salem some time in July attended by
delegted elected from the several hop
districts. At this convention the cor
poration will be formed. After its
formation the crop of each grower will
be transferred to the corporation, which
will do all the selling. A board of di.
rectors will be elected and the directors
will appoint selling committee which
will meet in Salem every Saturday fol
the purpose of making sales and report
on the condition of the MARKETS, etc
Hop experts will be called in to ascer
tain the quality of each crop and keel
it in its proper grade.
Mr.. K1ebs is encouraged over hit
project, and stated that he beiieve
that 80 per cent of the 1905 crop will
be turned into this corporation. Afte
he gets Oregon thoroughly organized h
will go to Washington, and then to New
York state, and expects to have the en-
tire crop of the United States unde
control of the corporation.

They Occupy.
Headquarters of the Russian Army,
Godzyadani, Manchuria, July 4.-Ac-
cording to information brought by per-
SONS arriving from the extreme west,
the reports that the Russian right had
been turned are incorrect. On the con-
trary, it is said that General Nogi's
army which, on June 16 was far to the
westward of the other Japanese armies,
has since been moving in the direction
of Changtufu, and the pressure brought
to bear against the Russian cavalry
flank it was thought was for the purpose
of covering the retreat Of the main
force.
The Japanese are slowly pushing for
ward their center. They are strongly
fortifiyng each village occupied by
them, and are making demonstration
of considerable force near Hailungchene
90 miles east of Changtufu. The oper
ations are proceeding slowly, and 6
general engagement is improbable be-
fore the end of July.

ATTACKS INDICTMENT.
Thurston Says 1t Is Impossible to
Convict Mitchell.

Portland, July 1.-Still another day
has passed and the last word is yet to
be spoken in behalf of Senator Mitch
ell. It was fully expected that when
ex-senator Thurston began yesterday
morning that he would conclude his
argument in the afternoon, but he was
yet half an hour away from his con-
cluding remarks, when Judge De Haven
adjourned the court until 10 O'Clock
this morning. This means that the
case will net go to the jury before late
this evening, if then, for United States
District Attorney Heney must answer
the arguments made by both of Senator
MitchelPs attorneys.
When the speaker laid aside his eu-
logistic tribute to the senator, when he
had given his audience glimpse of the
living room of Senator Mitchell in
Washington, room which he said con-
tanned bed and trunk; when he told
of the love, veneration and honor in
which he held the defendant and turned
the foodgates of his oratory and legal
shrewdness upon the Indictment under
which Senator Mitchell is being tried,
then he became the lawyer and pleader.
Listening members of the bench and
bar who listened to this argument mar
veled at the adroitness with which this
document was attacked. 1t was done
with such skill and cleverness, for each
count was taken up and riddled and
scoffed at-that now the government
must make answer.
The attack upon the Indictment fol.
lowed the lines of the argument that
ex-senator Thurston had made before
Judge De Haven. He stated that the
Indictment held that Senator Mitchell
had received money from Kribs, and he
showed by the testimony of both Kribs
and Tanner, that Kribs had never paid
money to the defendant. The speaker
held that before the government could
make this count in the Indictment
stick, it must prove that Senator Mitch.
ell had received his payment either il
gold, silver or currency. He cited thai
the Supreme court had held that 6
check was not money, and contended
that when Tanner deposited the Kribs
checks, those checks were purchased by
the bank, was their property to burn Oh
tear up if they wished. The money
that the senator received as his shar,
of the monthly receipts of the firms
business, no matter if that share con
tanned part of the Kribs' payment
could not be construed as having beer
paid to Senator Mitchell by Kribs.

By the great extension of the River
