proposition was opposed by the COM

At the conference the railroad rep

surface water of Dixon street, but
would provide for the water from all
other streets that came within the
limits of the proposed Improvements.
Mr.. Miner declared that when he was

great in that section that he used to
swim and skate there. and that 1t

ace Vose and Chester properties, but
had evidently been diverted towards

good to the committee

the railroad company was to substi-
tute steel bridges forty feet wide for

it back about the width of the pres

street through from West to Canal

depot. The street would be owned by

YARDS IN GOOD CONDITION
Indications That Quality of Hops
Win Be Above Last Year.

Local hop dealers who spent some
days in the valley producing districts
this week report the yards generally
in very satisfactory condition,
considering the slow growth of the
vines early in the season. The favor
able weather of the past month has
in large way made up for the adj
verse conditions that prevailed dur
ing the spring months, and the out
look now is for yield Of fair size
and good quality.
Vermin appeared to some extent in
most Of the yards two weeks ago, but
thorough spraying, aided by recent
hot spell, appears to have practically
cleared the vines of the pest, with no
appreciable damage done to the crop
to date The Indications now are that
the quality average Of the 1911 crop
in this state will be above that Of last
year Beyond spraying there is little
or nothing being done IN the valley
yards at this time.
The market is still quiet affair
but strong in the extreme, says the
Portland Oregonian. There is a good
demand for contracts on the coming
crop at % cents, for 19l0s at % to
26 cents and for y1g09s at Is to 20
cents, but even at those figures,
which are the best offered at this time
III years, the growers evince little dis
position to sell. Very little in the
way Of trade in any growth has been
reported in this state snice the first of
July
In the South the trend Of the mar
ket is no less strongly upward. A
late report from Sacramento says that
dealers there are predicting 35-
cent market on the 1911 crop, and in
the Sonoma district it is said that
dealers are offering to contract for
five years, paying 25 cents for this
years crop and Is cents for the four
years following In this state and in
California as well only negligible
fragment of the 1910 crop remains in
the hands of growers.
