RAILROADS ARE NEXT
Commission Will Now Turn It's Atten-
ton to Passenger Rates.

Having determined that there is
ground for action upon its own motion,
the Oregon railroad commission has
started comprehensive investigation
inquiring into the reasonableness of all
passenger rates on the line of the Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation company.
The matter has been set for hearing at
Salem, Tuesday, August 80. The inves-
tigation will embrace every passenger
tariff on the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
cation system. but will apply more es-
pecially to rates on some branch lines,
where more than three cents mile is
charged.
An investigation of passenger tar
iffs on Southern Pacific lines in Ore
gon has also been started by the COM
mission, but the date for the hearing
has not yet been fixed. The two inves-
legations will affect nearly every pass
enger tariff in the state.

ter his investigation Engineer Thomp-
son announced that he would COM
mence at once, so that by the time the
hops were ready for the market the
stream could be navigated by the
smaller boats. He has now several

into service on the Willamette between
Salem and ndependenee.-Cap

ENGLAND BUYS HOPS
FOREIGN BUYERS AGAIN APPEAR
IN OREGON MARKET.
vermin and Unfavorable Weather VIII
Reduce Crop in East Kent
Rain Needed in New York.

London orders for hops are in the
local market for the first time in near
ly two months, says the Oregonian.
This fact is taken as a further con-
firmation of the unfavorable crop re-
ports that have been coming from
England lately. The average estimate
of the English crop is now down close
to 100000 hundredweight, and some
foreign dealers place it much lower
The following London cable was re-
ceived by Salem dealer yesterday:
Weather better. but vermin in
creaslng. Estimates crop at 300,0
hundredweight. Market firmer."
Thomas osborne writes to The Ore
gonian from London, under date of
July 13. as follows:
Yesterday / had a long drive
through the best hop yards in East
Kent / did not find them so good as /
expected. The late cold. wet weather
has affected them. The vine in many
yards is very thin and there is con-
siderable amount Of lice in all yards.
At present, with good weather, it looks
like a moderate crop. If the weather
should turn bad again it will be a
small crop Of poor hops"
Since the date Of Mr.. Usborne's let
ter the weather in England has been
showery and unsettled almost every
day until yesterday.
No business was reported in the To-
cal market yesterday. but there were
Eastern orders on hand. A New York
wire said rs cents was offered for 1909
states, with no takers.
The Waterville. N. X, Times of July
22 reports the sale of several lots of
states, not choice in quality, as 10 and
90 cents, and adds:
We have had few light showers
which have benefited the hop crop to
certain extent, but more is needed.
Several of our dealers, who have been
keeping track of hop sales in the state,
got together this week and have esti-
mated that there are now not to ex-
ceed 1900 bales remaining unsold in
this state. This is an almost unheard-
of condition. as there has scarcely
ever been a year when there has not
been twice that number of bales on
hand at this time of the year.
A letter from w. FL. Bensted, writ
ten from England, under date of July
8, contains the following: THE wealth
er is still cool and wet and the hop
vine continues to grow. saw some
large yards between Sailing and Can
terbury yesterday, and there is such a
growth of leaves that they are reg
ular mat. They haven't had so large
growth in years. Lice are very thick
in these, the underside of the leaves
being a mass of them. / never saw so
many before. Spraying is being done,
and women are at work cutting out
some of the leaves so as to let in air."

A GROWING COMMUNITY
REPRESENTATIVE OF OBSERVER
VISITS BRIDGEPORT COUNTRY.
Finds Ideal Homes, Good Crops,
Fruitful Orchards, and Contented
Prosperous People.

j. M. Briggs moved last week to the
Lee place South of Dallas. Mr.. Briggs
has as fine a lot of chickens as can be
found in Polk County, and clears as
much money on them There are about
ESQ of them-mostly Brown Leghorns.
Mrs. Briggs says she has always OBJ
tanned the best results from mixed
she gathered an average of 36 eggs
daily from 48 hens This is certainly a
good record.
j. L. Chamberlain has abandoned
his hop field and is devoting his time
to hay and stock. He is one of the
leading farmers of his community.
Three years ago, G. P. Locke bought
a farm on the Luckiamute, East of
Falls City 1t had but three acres of
cleared land. He has been very busy
man since then and has cleared IS
acres. He has an orchard of 200 trees,
and is making money. His hay crop
this year was exceptionally good. Per-
sonally, Mr.. Locke is an ideal farmer.
with the energy necessary to trans
form wooded hills into fruitful fields.
One would drive over Polk County a
long time before seeing a more beau
tiful home than that owned by A.
Hoppy, about three miles East of Falls
City. The fine residence and substan-
tial outbuildings show the years of pa
tient labor it has taken to build this
handsome home.
D. Shepard has just finished taking
care of his oats. Like most of the
farmers in his section, he had a splen-
did crop this year.
A. w. Plankinton has fine looking
home near Falls City. The beautiful
pretty as picture.
L. H. McBee, who owns farm in
the Liberty neighborhood, is an en-
thusiast on good milch cows. He has
fine looking place, well cared for. He
says his hops are in fine condition, and
there will be good 'top crop" He
says the damage so often complained
of as honey-dew is an insect which
perforates the leaves and lets out the
sap, causing the vine to lose its
strength.
Nowhere in Polk County will one
find more beautiful country residence
than that of James Burns, on the
Luckiamute The home is of modern
style, newly painted, and situated at
a point on the farm commanding
viou of tha vallav
Mr.. Burns is a native Oregonian,
and owns $40 acres of well-improved
land. The Observer representative
found him sitting on the porch, taking
his MONDAY rest and looking over his
farm. If his feelings were not self-con-
gratulatory, they should have been,
for he has everything one could desire
in home and land, and as fine family
as resides in this great state.
In this little trip of few hours du-
ration, the Observer man only had
time to visit few farms in the rich
Luckiamute valley. 1t is his intention
to return to the Bridgeport neighbor-
hood soon, and on his next trip he
hopes to be able to give the readers a
more extended description of this
highly favored locality and to tell more
about the development work that is
being done by the progressive, hospi-
table people who inhabit 1t.
