Hop Growers Have Faith In the
Valley.

Hop growing is to continue AZ
one of the chief industries OF the
Yakima valley, hop growers feeling
confident that the business will rally
and that next year will show high
prices for the product This season
the hop business has been so over
| Swallowed by the immense yields
and high prices for fruit. alfalfa and
potatoes that little attention has
been given 10 the situation except
ing by the growers. buyers and pick
ers. Interest in North Yakima and
in other cities and towns of the VAL
ley has been centered on the fruit
industry and on the crops Of hay and
potatoes.
Now the announcement is made
by some of the largest growers that
they will continue in the business.
and that only a minor number OF
acres will be changed from hop fields
TO orchards and alfalfa ranches. A
few of the hop growers have decid-
ed to entirely drop from the business
and to become fruit growers, believ-
ing that eventually there is greater
profit in that line
Immense fields OF the hops ara
grown in the Yakima valley and the
adjoining valleys, including the
Mckee. Selah, Matches. the sunny
side Indian reservation and other
sections. Until late ii August they
are bower Of verdure, and then
are seemingly ruthlessly destroyed
by the hundreds OF piekers. who
camp near the fields in tents, pick
hops and take them 10 the large
hop houses, where they are cured
and baled.
At hop picking season there are
hundreds OF Indians from every part
OF the Northwest in North Yakima
and the surrounding section, the In

Boston. Aug. 2.-Thoroughly disgust
ed with the article of baseball put up
by the men, the society women OF
Saugus have decided to show the popu.
lace what real baseball game Is, and
tomorrow two teams composed of
maids and matrons will go up to Stack
poles field and "cross bats" to uphold

der the direction of clever coaches
imported from Boston the pitchers are
said to have developed the latest
styles in "spitbnlls" and curves. while
every member Of both teams can
smash the horsehide pellet on the
snout" whenever slightest opportunity
offers.
For weeks the women. married and
single, have practiced daily, and ex-
cltemcnt regarding the outcome of to-
morrow's contest has become intense.

cred all their available cash on the re-

Members OF the spinsters' team ay-

from the way the short-sklrted misses

are loud in their prophecies Of victory

lemons for their unmarried sisters.

New York, Aug. 2.-The third stran.
Cling mystery of the week was reveal

In the dark cellar of tenement house

child's body was found is within a
hundreds yards of the home from
which she disappeared just week
before. She may have ben strangled.
A yellow hair ribbon was found tied
tightly about her slim little neck. She
may have been beaten to death, as
there Is an indentatlon at the base of
the skull The body Is too far gone.
1t is difficult to tell. But the mark
of the human beast was on her only
too plainly. Before she died she had
met fate surprising in atrocity that

TO BOOST LUMBER PRICES.

Jacksonville, Fla, July 31.-In an at
tempt to boost lumber prices, twenty
seven of the plants identified with
the Georgia-Florida Sawmill associa-
tion will shut down tomorrow for
period of one month, and seven addi-
tional mills will suspend operations
for the month of September. 1t is
possible that the restriction of out
put may be continued for longer
time If the desired results are not
accomplished. The mill men allege
that the high price demanded for tim
ber is not commensurate with the pres
ent market price of lumber. and that
to continue operations would involve
heavy loss. 1t is expected that
similar action will be taken by other
