CORNER IN THE HOP CROP.
Advantage Taken of Heavy Losses in
California.

There is, says the Portland Oregon
ian, to all intents and purposes, a cor
ner in the remainder of the 1905 hop
crop. Three firms, taking advantage
Of the heavy destruction of hops in
the California district, secretly order
ed their buyers in Oregon and Wash
ington to go into the market, and SO
well have they done their work that
out of between 1000 and 5000 bales
in the growers hands 10 days ago, not
to exceed 400 remain. The price both
in northwest and in New York has in
creased perceptibly, and whoever Sc
cures the remainder will have to pay
the holders prices.
Opinions differ as to how much was
lost as a result of the San Francisco
earthquake. 1t is known that 3UvJ
bales were in one warehouse and an
other lot of 500 bales at Santa Rosa
was totally destroyed. The holdings
lost by California brewers is prob
lematical, but they were undoubtedly
large.

HOW RELIEF IS GIVEN ELEVEN lives LOST
Distribution OF SUPPLIES In
San FRANCISCO ORGANIZED.
Plans Carefully Drawn-Magnitude
of This Task Never Before Under
taken by the Army-Prompt Service
for Distressed-Rigid Daily Inspec-
ton Is Made.

Major General Greedy of San Fran
cisco has made public the plan by
which supplies are distributed to the
people of San Francisco. The plans
have been very carefully drawn and
they are interesting because the army
has never before had a similar task
of such magnitude to perform. 1t is
not a mere distribution of food to peO-
pie but it is the helping of even a
vast number of people of considerable
means who now find themselves COM
PEELED to take their places in the long
bread lines.
The following officers are detailed
to have charge of the work: Major
Lea Febinger, Major G. A. Devol,
transportation, etc.; Major c. R. KRAFT
hof, providing food supplies; Colonel
George H. Torney, sanitation; Colonel
Heuer, engineering problems. An Off
Ger is yet to be chosen to have charge
of the distribution of clothing
The officers named will, as far as
possible, transact their business with
each other and with outside appli-
cants direct, the object being to Sc
cure an economical and prompt SER
vice for the distressed and destitute.
A responsible civilian will be placed
in immediate charge of each relief
station. with reasonable pay, and as
sisted by paid personnel
AS soon as possible daily rigid in
spection will be made of every relief
station, and abuses, neglects or mis-
takes rectified.
Charges of waste, deception, theft
supplies have been freely made, and
it is claimed that the food supplies
furnished are in some cases too lavish
in quantity and are now being issued
without suitable discrimination.
Issues of Injuries or articles of spe-
Any other course will speedily eX-
haust the very limited means of sub
sistence now at the disposal of the
army and the national Red Cross Sec
rotary.
Rigid economy is enjoined upon
every officer of the army 'engaged in
relief work. No Indebtedness will be
contracted without the authority of
one of the officers named above. Any
unusual expenditure must be ap-
proved by the division commander
The unburned portion of the city is
divided into seven military districts,
each with one officer at it's head, with
100 stations.
