Fast Trip from Astoria--J. H. Dun
can and his nephew, R. B. Duncan, for.
merly of this city, were here yestar-
day, having made very interesting
trip up the Columbia and Willamette
rivers. They came in the gasoline
launch "Lippert,' which is 25 feet long
and equipped with a modern Lippert
engine, and accomplished the upstream
voyage of 100 miles in just "a hours,
which is remarkably fast record. Mr.
Duncan is agent for the Lippert en-
CINE and after witnessing its reliable
power en- this trip is naturally very
much pleased with it. thinking it the
best yet made. Persons with need
for such an engine might find it pro-
fitable to consult with Mr.. Duncan at
Astoria. They will start on their re-
turn trip today, having visited rela-
tives at Lincoln yesterday and they ex-
pect to reach their destination in much
faster time than they came up.-Salem

|HOP SITUATION IN
VALLEY
BUMPER CROP OF THE GREAT STA
PIE THIS YEAR-GooD MONEY
EARNED BY PIcKERS-oUTPUr
WILL FIGURE 100000 BALES.

Ralp Cronise, well known youn
citizen of the capital who is spendin,
a few days in Astoria, the guest o
MFR. and Mrs. N. ]. Judah, yesterday, il
speaking of the leading industries o
the state, adverted to the hop crop con
ditions in the Willamette Valley, ii
the following cheerful terms;
"0regon is harvesting this year ont
of the greatest hop crops in the history
of the state. BY September thers
were assembled in the Willamette val
ley over $4,000 men, women and chill
dren, all in tents and hunks, and out
for a good time and incidental profit
The average picker makes about S25t
to $3.50 per day.
"The crop in the valley this year is
of an unusually fine quality. The
quantity of the yield is not record
breaker considering the vastly increased
acreage, but the state viii, nevertheless,
produce about 10000 bales. The short
age is due to the prolonged dry spell
in the valley, which lasted from June
2s to September l3, not drop of rain
falling in the interim, The hot wealth
er and shortage of rain dried up and
cooked the arms Of the vines, thus rob-
bing the vine Of many fine hops and
obstructing the growth of others to a
very large extent.
"The early contracts were made at
from 0 to u cents, but the market took
a sudden jump and landed finally at
the 20-cent mark. One or two lots
were bought at % cents after that,
but the market has not been able to
climb above that figure. The first lots
of the early Fuggles were sold at Is
and II cents, and the first of the Clus-
ters went at II, cash sales. However,
The crop is only twothirds harvested,
md it will be difficult to predict any
predominating figure until it is in the
bale, A few weeks ago it was pre-
licted at Salem, the hop center, that 25
'ents per pound would be paid before
he season closed, and for time it ap-
reared as though the prediction would
,e fulfilled, but change for the quiet
set in and the market has re-
NAMED in that state for the past two
weeks.
"The growers have been fortunate this
ear in having no trouble with mold or
ermin, and the heavy rains of last
1eek did no damage 1t win be great
rop Of hops this year and the grow-
rs and buyers are highly pleased with
he outcome"

THE IOWA IDEA.

The outcome of the Iowa state con-
ventiOn was highly characteristic OF
the ways of politicians. A contest had
been bitterly Waged for and against
a principle. After" a severe and dubious
struggle, the friends of the principle
won, controlled the convention, took
all the offices, and, apparently, threw
the principle out of the window. In
other words, Governor CumnlnS had
been saVage1y fought by the s~tand-pat-
tiers, whom he in turn had denounced
and attacked, but when he had them
beaten and himself safely renominat-
ed, 10! the convention adopted a stand
pat platform, the lion and the lamb
lay down together, grace, mercy, and
peace were hymned by all factions, and
the only wonder of the bystander is
what the long n enVenomed quarrel
had been all about.-NeW York Post.
The b~ystander who is at all acquainr-
ed with the ways Of politicians should
not be surprised at the outcome of the
Iowa convention. He should remember
that Mr.. Cunmins was nominated and
elected governor on his tariff revision
platform; that Mr.. Cummins was 4
candidate for denomination and that
he had Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
and presumably the influence OF the
administration working against him.
There was a formidable opposition to
his denomination. The standpatters
were working hard to bring about his
defeat in the convention. Mr.. Cummins
was in 10nUpr He was worry 1nyinrS
TO succeed himself. What more likely
than that he should say to the stand
patters: Let me have the nomination
and you can write the PLATFORM DO
not the results indicate some such a
trade?

PAST AND PRESENT REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

There are few left Of the men who
made themselves notorious by their
participation in state affairs during the
days Of carpet bag and s~callawac rule
in North Carolina. Of the leaders We
can not recall the nameo of a single one
now living. John T. Deweese was the
sole survivor of the cOterie OF poIltlcai
buns who proved on he state curing
the republican administration, u E7
has Just passed away. h news comes
that he died in Washington a few dats
ago. He was elected 10 congress 0
the Raleigh district. but a republican
house expelled him for selling a cadet
ship at West Point. SO he last or that
gang Of corruptors and despollers has
gone TO his final Judgment
Nav our state never again undergo
the misfortune and the humiliation e
having a party in yower controlled Dy
such men. We do not believe it would
be possible for history 10 ever repeat
itself in regard to the vents of recon
struction days in this state.
The party to which these men be-
longed and which was in power While
they fourished is the same republican
party that is o trying to secure con-
troll of the affairs of our state. This
thought remains in he minds OF hun
dreds of u citizens and strengthens
their allegiance TO that party which
threw it from power and rescued the
state from financial and social destruc-
ton.
it is true that were the republican
party to return to power it would not
90 back to the ways OF those other
days-it could not did it desire 10 do
sO-but the fact remains, and has Tot
been forgotten, that it's leaders Of today
are the successors Of Littlefield, SWep-
son and Deweese and others like them.
1t is true there are no such men il
that party of today; but it is the same
party-that which put the ignorant
negro over the white man, bankrupted
the treasury, stole the public funds,
dishonored the state, and brought dis
grace and humiliation to her best
people.
Some say, why rake up forgotten is
sues? We are simply stating facts
which yet exist in the memories If
many of our people, and it cannot be
denied that the recollection Of these
facts still retards the growth of the
republican party in this state. We be-
lieve that but for the conduct Of the
republican party in reconstruction days
and the memory Of that conduct lin
gering in the minds of our people up
t o the present time, North Carolina
would long ago have become debatable
ground, with a republican party strong
enough to have successfully conten1el
with the democratic time and again.

ooh, JOHN replied Mrs. Spratt with

the little sinner in the morning. Willie
is only 6 years old, you know, and
most children Of that age are APT to

And did you offer it to him?"
"Of course not, goOsie. 1t was his
business to ask for it, wasn't it,"
DO you think that was quite-er-
-hOnest?" ventured John.

piled Mrs. Spratt. What is the con-
ductor paid for, | should like to know?
1t isn't my business to make him col

well, now in Willie's case" ven
tured the amused husband.
why, John, how can you talk SO
silly?" rejoined his wife. The cases
are entirely different. You are absurd.
Really l don't think men have any more

oh, yes, certainly. OF course, my

RIFLE PRACTICE AT MOREHEAD
