YAKIMA HOP MARKET
NOT YET DETERMINED
Small Sales That Have Been Put
Through Do Not Establish
Anything Locally

Just what the hop market Is to
be is thing that the growers are
now worrying about. Following
some Oregon opinions it is the idea of
some of the local growers that buy
ing, once it starts. will be brisk and
that the crop will clean up, on the
market side, in short order after the
movement has begun. Others here.
such as Guy Grafton, who Is on the
buying end think 1t will drag along
for a considerable time and Is not
likely to show any special life aad ac-
tivity, such as other seasons rave

BILE to make a prophecy as to what
may be expected He says there
have been a number OF small deals

teen cents and that the market price
II there is any, Is somewhere between
fifteen and eighteen cents. In view,
however. of the enormous yield in
the northwest yards and the excel

all through, Mr.. Mitchell says he is

Growers Active Otherwise
Harvesting is about over for Yak

might occur, we have done the best
we could in that respect, and have
managed to have all of t schools
open a part of the time ,iuring the

To the White Democratic Voters of
Grant Parish.

Coifnx, La. Jan. Is, 1912.
| wish to call to the attention O,
the white Democratic voters of Grant
parish, the TACT that Ii. II. Hale. who
WAS registered as Socialist until
Jniy St19lf, and now registered as
qualities not disclosed" is touring
the parish ia the interest of the can
didncy OF my opponent. Mr.. b. ID.
Fletcher. Mr.. Hale's chief complaint
is the Charge that the verda Tele-
phone Co., owned in part by NV
brother-in-law, MIR. d. o. Morris, Is
not assessed. The letter of Hon. n.
L.. Pickett, secretary of the State
Board of Appraisers, shows that it
is assessed, and the certificate of Mr..
j. II. Roberts, a member of the said
board, shows that L have no aufhori-
~ to assess the property, as the
same Is assessed by the State Board
OF Appraisers.
Sheriff Perkins tax receipt, num-
Der 9IS. dated December %, 1911.
shows that Mr.. Morris paid taxes
due by the verda Telephone Co. for
the year 1911 This assessment will
be found ON page loo OF the ASSESS

ment rolls OF Grant parish for 1911.
Mr.. Hale very likely does not know
of the existence of the State Bonrd OF
Appraisers. II he had, and had look
ed ON the assessment rolls under as
sessrnents made by that board. he
would not have tins opportunity to
peddle a false statement.
Another complaint of Mr.. Hale s Is
that not a single railroad in the par
ish is assessed. Here again his lack
of knowledge has got him into error.
He would have found the assessment
of railroads under the same head.
For instance, instead OF no railroads
being assessed, the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain & Southern Ry. is assessed
at 1914, 1890; the La. Ry. K Nav.
Co. at 1896, 6S7. 80; the La. Il Ark.
at 1898, $4,000; the Louisiana Ry.
Co. at 500, 525 90; the Enterprise Ky.
Co. at $33 10000; and the fremont
& Gull Railroad at $4,000.
These are the assessments of the
said railroads in the parisho f Grant.
Not only the Yer!a Telephone Co..
but all other telephone companies
doing business la the parish OF Grant
are assessed. und can be found on
the tax rolls at the proper place.
Yours faithfully,
Z. S. MURRELL.
