Houston. Tex, May l7.--An election
IS being held here today TO decide
whether or not the city shalt buy tho

pauy, II today's election should re-
suit in favor Of this proposition an
other election will have to be held TO

II Is planned TO have the second cleo
tion soon afteS the FIRST, In ease the sec

Otto was persuaded to sink most of his
capital in an invention which started
with every promise, but another, cheap
er invention followed almost immediate
ly in it's wake The business came to
grief and Herr Otto was ruined. Again
the fckle jade smiled upon him He
invented himself a small but useful
machine which brought him large rev.
enue. Once more he risked his capital
in a venture, but it failed also, and
for years he lived in great poverty.
One day, when writing his reminis-
cences. he came across an old, forgot
ten premium bond. The next day he
offered it for sale to broker, who in
formed him that the number had come
out two years ago with prize of $780,
900. SO, after all, Herr Otto, who
had reached great age, was saved
from the poor house. He died a bach
eIor and left his entire fortune to his
landlady.

Notes.

Cooperstown Journal, May 3d, says;
In the local market during the past
week, transactions include sales of 200
TO 300 bales from 6 TO Zoe, the ruling
price being to Zoe. One dealer re-
ports l2e as having been paid. Growers
are complaining considerable about
winter-killed hills this spring, yet it is
said it is little too early to make safe
prediction as to the extent of the injury
the vine has sustained during the win
ter.
The Cobleldll Index, May 3D., says;
The loc market is dull, growers refus-
ing to sell at present prices. We hear
of 10 cents being offered and refused.
Two causes for the frmer market are
given: First, the destruction Of large
quantities of hops at San Francisco, as
previously noted; second, the reports
that many roots, particularly in the
older yards, are winterkilled. Some
large growers report the winter loss in
some yards as being 30 to 10 per cent
The Schoharie Republican, May 3D.
SAYS: Growers are pushing along work
in the yards, plowing and grubbing be-
ing now under way The roots are IN
good condition as rule. Owing to the
low prices there is no new acreage set
ont although here and there new
yard set last year viii come into bear
ing this season. To ofiet this increase
there are occasional yards being plowed
up.

Messrs. Wild, Means & Co., London,
report: There is no alteration to re-
port; trade continues without ANNA
ton; values remain unaltered.
Messrs. w. H. and H. LeMay, Lon
don, report: The market has opened
after the holidays with some enquiry
for good copper hops, stocks of which
are small.
Messrs. Manager & Henley, London,
report: There is steady enquiry for
useful copper hops with a moderate
business doing, chiefly for actual re-
quirementS. Pricest remain without
change.
The Exchange and Hop Warehouses
Limited, London, report; There is very
little business passing at present, but
the demand is expected to increase
shortly for the best of the hops left
upon the market. Present sales are
chiefly for middle class hops for imme
diate use at low prices.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1906-05-17

Little if anything new has developed
the past week in the hop market. trad
ing generally having ruled quiet, the
absence of stock to work upon having
been the principal cause. About the
only offerings on the local market con-
sist of low grade California hops, which
are held at 11@l2c, and an occasional
lot of Oregons at 14@15c. We hear of
one lot of very poor oregons having
sold at 1890. On the Pacific coast there
has been some business reported from
Sonoma of low grades at around l0c,
and sale of Sacramento hops is also
reported at 7lae. No business has been
reported in Oregon or Washington. as
available stocks in those states are very
limited. The little inquiry shown in
this state last week appears to have
subsidized, and we do not hear of any
new business the past few days.

MARSHALL WILL APPEAL 70 CONGRESS-
Dakota Congressman Loaded with from U1
Z. =$ the Line Illuminate Situation. S5l=: ==@

/ - Congress is to have an opportunity to
act upon the remarkable failure of
northwestern railroads to move the 1906
crop. ~,
Congressman Tom Marshall Of North
Dakota has, been gathering data and
tion, and has recently taken the mat
ter UP with the commercial organiza-
tions of Minneapolis and Duluth, as
well as with a. number sof commission
houses and live stock men in Chicago,
and with local comm erefa1 clubs and
various individuals in North Dakota.
The congressman shasqbelieved for
some, time that there is something more
behind the fact that the crops and
stock Of the northwest are not being
moved than mere car shortage, and
every day has strengthened this belief.
Mr.. Marshall leaves his home for
Washington in day. or two, and imme-
diately upon his arrival he proposes to
have the matter Investigated promptly
by the interstate commerce commission
under existing law. if they have the
authority, or, if necessary, he will in
troduce a resolution comforting the
power upon them. In the meantime
he has taken the matter up with the
secretary of the commission by. wire.
The congressman, being a business
in his state, and realizes to the fullest
extent the tremendous hardship that is
being entailed upon farmers and bust
ness men. He has gone into this work
in his usual systematic, thoro, energetic
way, and hopes that the facts may be
developed and that some relief may be
afforded for the movement Of the pres
ent crop, so that similar condition
may be avoided. in the future. x.
