New Copper Strike.

The late copper strike made by. Merssrs. Powell & remble, near the head of Cordova bay, is causing no lit. tie ripple of excitement in mining circles; some of the enthusiastic ad- mirers of the find expressing the belief that it will rival that of the famous Beatson property on Latouche. The ore is very healthy in appearance and bears striking resemblance to the Latouche ore, being heavily impreg mated with pyrites and carrying free gold to marked degree Over fifty claims have been staked in the new district and many prospectors are securing the hills to secure claims there. Among those represented at the new camp are such we'll known people as Kelley Bros, Flynn. Harris McKenna, Little, Powell, Tremble, Kippen, Barret, Hayden, Brown & Col lins.-Cordova Alaskan.

The Gateway makes some pertinent remarks editorially regarding the brilliancy shown by the officers of the revenue cutter service in sending word of the capture of the Jap anese poacLors to Sitka and then cacheing the Japs in some out of the way place 10 the westward, instead of bringing them direct to headquarters here. This brilliant action on the part of the revenue cutter force has greatly handicapped the department of justice in handling the case promptly, and causes the Gateway to remark that the average subordinate govern ment official knows nothing except what he acquires by habit.

VI. Gilbcrtson, General Manager for
Ullilman, Tells of Present
Conditions i'm Market.

NJ. Gilbertson, general agent for
Oregon and Washington Of the s. &
+. Ullilman company, the largest hop
dealers in the United States, was in
the city Thursday and was inter.
viewed by Herald representative re
garding the hop situation Mr.. Gill
bertson stated that at the present
time there is about $4,000 or 10000
bales of hops in the growers hands
in the states of Oregon, California
and Washington, and the prices
range from to 10 cents.
The prospects for a good crop this
year, he said, are very encouraging
but unless their is a big foreign de
mand there will not be many hops
sold, as there is such a large surplus
on hand it will not be necessary to
buy hops. The prospects for an in
crease in the price at this time, he
said, are not bright, but it is impos-
sible to tell what will happen in the
month of August, but he said he was
positive that unless there was a big
foreign demand there would be nc
increase.
He said that with the large surplus
on hand, if there was only normal
crop this year, not many hops would
be bought, as the brewers have sui.
ficient on hand, and with the amour;
in the hands of the growers they dc
not fear a scarcity.
Mr.. Gilbertson stated that some oil
the brewers acquired all the hops
needed TO last them through the year
last October, but if there was any
probability of the price decreasing
they would undoubtedly buy and
store away.
At the opening of the market thi:
year, he said, the actual market price
was 16 cents, but it has been steadi
ly decreasing until it ranges any
where from 5 to 10 cents, which is {
very low price for the commodity.
Mr.. Gilbertson is in this city TO-
the purpose of inspecting the hol
yards in this district. He says the
prospects are good and large crol
is anticipated At the present time
he said, his company does not car,
to buy a pound of hops. and all pur
chases will be made in the future &C
cording to the demand.

so delineated and represented the
lands lying adjacent to plaintiffs
strip of land on the east for the dis
lance of $50 feet along the strip as
divided into twelve city lots.
1t is also alleged in the complaint
that the defendants pretend and al
lege by the plat and certificate to
dedicate to the public and Yakima
county as public highway Park
street, and have invited within the
past week the county officials to
commence work on the highway.
This land containing the twelve
lots plated, it is stated, has been
laid out as a townsite and named Vic

complaint that adjacent to plant
IFS strip of land on the west is Bon
ME Brae addition, which is town
site plated, and one of the streets
of this addition is on the line ex-
tended of McLaren street.
The plaintiffs a1lege that the de-
PENDANTS have invited the public
within the last week or SO to visit
these lots, and has used the strip OF
land through which the plaintiffs
ditch runs as a public highway. The
plaintiffs contend that If this prac
tice is not stopped it will ruin the
ditch property. The plaintiffs al
allege that prior to the defendants
filing their plat with the auditors
Office l.. A. Dash tore down the
fence on the east side Of the strip OF
land and left it open for travel, and
when it was rebuilt, he again tore II
down, and threatens to destroy any
fence which the plaintiffs erect in the
future.
The plaintiffs have therefore asked
the court for a decree to quiet title

the plat on file in the auditors Office

the defendants from interfering with

MOB HILL PEOPLE ARE ACTIVE
Place First Cause for Plan.
ming Organization.

The citizens of Mob Hill have
started a campaign for better roads
and other improvements in that vi
cinity. A committee is now at work
drafting a constitution and bylaws
preliminary to organizing an i'm
provement association.
The primary object of the associa-
ton will be to keep the roads in
first class condition and to watch for
proposed improvements which might
not be an improvement from the
standpoint of the property owner.
The committee named to draft the
constitution and bylaws is CON-
posed of Morton Rutan, F. c. Hall
NJ. NJ. Richards, j. E. Shannon and
o. A. Clark.
When speaking of the association
Mr.. Shannon said:
1.-The movement to start an asso-
citation Of this nature came abou,
through the grading Of the road near
the Johnson place. A high fill was
made and the road graded with rocks
and boulders, and it did not appeal
to the Mob Hill people as the proper
thing.
with an association Of this nature
we can take steps to checkmate such
things. An organization will be per.
fected probably before great while
There is considerable interest taken
in the proposition in this vicinity
The meeting at which the commit
tee was appointed to take the pre-
liminary steps toward organizing
took place recently.

FRUIT HERE BEST IN WORLD
Seattle P.-I. Has Interesting Editorial
Relative to Fruit Pr0duc-
ton in This Valley.

The following boost for North
Yakima is given editorially by the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
The Hover Sunshine announces
that the orchardists of North Yaki-
ma and vicinity have ordered ten
carloads of fruit wrapping paper for
use during the coming season. That
paper is cut into sheets ten inches
square, and used in packing single
apples for market. 1t is estimated
that there are 100000 papers in
each carload, which represents an
investment of $1,000 to the fruit
men. Experts in fruit culture state
that the crop for 1907 promises to
be larger than ever in the history of
the Yakima valley. The quantity Of
paper purchased would indicate that
active preparations are being made
for handling large crop.
Fruit growing occupies promi-
nent position in the list of money
producing industries in the state OF
Washington. 1t is increasing at Il
rapid rate every year, but the de-
mand seems to be even greater than
the supply Apples are always sal
able in all markets. The Yakima
specimens reach every prominent city
of the world. Agents are kept in
some of the leading cities of the ORR
ent for the purpose of receiving and
disposing of apples sent over the Pa
cific ocean. The markets of Alaska
are supplied with apples from the
Yakima valley. Many boxes are
shipped to Europe every spring and
the growers get good prices.
Because of the value of bearing
apple orchard in producing incomes
of great proportions the prices OF
irrigated lands are held at big fig
ures. To quote a tract at $1,000 an
acre appears on the surface to be an
enormous price. In fact, financiers
often shake their heads and predic.
failure to the men who invest ir
such lands. Yet an experienced fruit
man recently bought young apple
orchard in one of the irrigated sec
tions of Central Washington and
paid $4,000 an acre for the land He
estimates that his profits for the
year 1907 will be 20 per cent on the
investment and the income for next
year will be greater.
The modern business farmer who
handles land for its profits need not
have any fears about planting an a2-
pie orchard. There is no danger
from over production. The soil and
climatic conditions have been tested
and are not changing. Market IA
cilities are increasing every year
The army of consumers gets larger
every month. The spirit of educa-
ton is working a reformation favor
ing more general consumption oi
fruits, and especially apples. Plant
the right varieties, cultivate the or
chard, care for the trees, harvest and
market the fruits in proper man
ner and there will be no necessity
for borrowing money to pay taxes
This is one Of the many opportuni
ties.

there may be another hospital estab-
