Mcclellan, hop buyers, came here to-

counties.
The meeting was held at the Hotel
Beaver. Among the prominent grow
ers present were w. w. Pereival, c. A.
Mclaughlin, S. b. Walker, Frank Laws
and Miss Porterfield. 1t was decided
to hold a meeting Saturday afternoon
in the Isis theater, where permanent
organization would take place, and a
committee was appointed to invite each
hopgrower in this territory.
The purpose of the association is to
carry on campaign of education in
this state, in order to teach the citi-
zens and taxpayers the value of the
hop industry to the state and show
them the damage that would accrue
should the state go dry at the mex,
election.
The value of the last hop crop was
about $6,000,O00, and it is predicted
that should the state go dry, there
would be trouble in finding good
market for the crop. 1t is pointed out
that theepriee of hops was below the
cost of production the years that Polk
