MARKET NOW INACTIVE.
HOP PRICES QUOTED BELOW
COST OF PRODUCTION.
Eastern Trade Reported as Being
Quite Indifferent, Which Has Effect
of Holding Figures Down.

Efforts to arouse buyers interest in
Oregon hops do not meet with success,
says The Oregonian. The season is
nearly month old, but only few
minor transactions have been report
ed. Not many hops are being offered
by growers, yet a certain amount OF
business could be done if dealers were
able to make sales. The prices quoted
around 10 cents are far from salts
factory to producers, and if accepted,
would mean a net loss to some of
them. There is nothing in sight, how
ever, to indicate that prices will be
better in the near future. Eastern
brewers cannot be tempted to take
hold at this time. Some of them have
supplies that will carry them well in
to next year and few are known to
have even two years supply. 9th
ers are influenced by .the spread of
prohibition and all of them feel the
effect of the countrywide business de-
preston.
A few dealers, in their efforts to
secure business, have named lower
prices. 1t is known that offers have
been made to brewers as low as II
cents, delivered and probably lower
figure has been indicated. In the face
of declining market, consumers are,
therefore, disposed to hold off. 1t was
thought there would be export busi-
ness before this date, but the English
buyers are also holding back. Cabled
offers to London on the basis Of 10
cents to the Oregon grower have met
with no response. Either the Eng
lish brewers are in the same position
as those in America, stocked up and
afraid of the future, or else financial
conditions deter them from operat-
ing. If it is the foreign exchange sit
uation that is preventing English buy
ing, there should be relief on this
score before long.
In the meantime the growers, while
disappointed, are not forcing their
hops on the market, and this is keep
ing prices here about steady. Some
of the dealers would like to buy
cheaper, particularly those who still
have sales uncovered, but the market
remains at the 10-cent level. A few
lots of Oregons were offered on the
market yesterday at S12 and 9 cents,
but they were below prime in grade.

Glover Seed Growers Lucky.

The farmers in Polk and Yamhill
counties who raised clover seed this
year are among the fortunate ones
According to Harley o. White, who
returned last evening from a two
weeks buying tour, the farmers have
been receiving from Is to 16 cents a
pound for their clover seed, and the
yield this year is about 40 per cent
greater than a year ago, when only
u and 13 cents was the prevailing
price.-Capital Journal.

Warden To Be Selected.

Sheriff William Esch of Marion
county, former police Bailey of Port
land and John W. Minto of Portland,
brother of Warden Harry Minto,
who was killed Monday night by the
desperate, Otto Hooker, are being
mentioned prominently among the
possible successors to Harry Minto
as head of the state penitentiary.
Esch and Minto are especially we'll
known here and their ability to fill
the position, should it be rendered
them, is generally conceded. The ap-
pointment probably will not be made
for several weeks.

PLANT YOUR FALL CROP

An advertisement in The
Observer brings results. That's
why representative Dallas bus
mess houses use its columns.
"Big circulation" may be con-
sidered the leading require
ment of a newspaper to make
advertising pay, but even bet
ter is buying space in a news
paper that is sought by the
people within its field-a news
paper that gives the news
while it is news. The Observ-
er has both circulation" and
the sought" and therefore is
valuable advertising medi-
um. 1t goes into the home; it
is the family paper; it is read
because it carries in its two
issues-a-week more local read
ing matter than all the other
newspapers in Polk county
combined, while the price of
its semi-weekly is no more
than that of the weeklies. Ad-
vertisements here have brought
good results to others-why
not to youY

Plans to Pro-Rate

While it is not known how j. Z.
Crosbie will pro-rate his runs from
the fields, the producers have figured
out how it can be done without plac-
ing heavy expense upon the field in
the building of gathering lines. The
plans call for the nearby neighbors
of the Crosbie lease to build their lines
to the Crosbie pump station in section
5. For instance if the Magnolia pur-
chases 5000 barrels and Crosbie 1000
then the entire field would be pro-rat-
ed on basis of 10000 barrels. Wheth-
this will be done or not, is not known.
Mr. Crosbie has no desire to enter
the field as a common purchaser, he
desires only to run his own oil to
operate his refinery and it is very
natural to think that if he does not
have to become a common purchaser,
he will not do So While Mr.. Crosbie's
assertions are very fair in that he
is ready to pro-rate his runs, yet it is
against good business reason to con-
clude that he will voluntarily do so.

Sam A. Apple has very encouraging
reports on the production of his two
wells recently drilled near Madill in
Marshall county, and his company will
keep two rigs running there until the
field is thoroughly tested. One of his
wells is reported at 25 barrels OF
high grade oil, and Mr.. Apple says, at
the depth to which it has been drilled,
he will be very glad if it makes ten
barrels, and even five barrel well
would pay well. 1t is very probable
that these wells will mean that a

TO APPOINT REPUBLICAN
Members of Party Show Interest in
Selection to State Election Board

Oklahoma City, May 29.-Republi-
ment of a republican member of the
state election board, as provided by
! law. SO far, Governor Williams has
not indicated his choice in the prem
ises, and the republican member un-
der the Cruce administration is hold
ing over. This is A. f. Haines of Al
va.
State chairman A. +. Geissler sew
eral months ago sent the MINES of
five men to Governor Williams as sug-
gestions for the place on behalf of
the republican organization, although,
it IS alleged by some republican mem
bers of the state committee, that no
meeting of the committee was held
to select these names as required by
law. Among the names submitted by
Mr.. Geissler is that of Vernon w.
Whiting, a newspaper man of Paw
huska, who is said to be considered
as a possible appointment by the gov
ernor. Another republican, a member
Of the state committee, who is con-
sidered as a likely selection by the
governor is Harry b. Beeler of Mus
kogee, former member of the state
senate and active in republican affairs
The appointment is expected to be
made in few weeks. There is no
business of importance before the cleo
ton board at this time except the de-
signation of a county secretary occa-
sionally, as a vacancy occurs or it ap-
pears to be otherwise desirable to
make a change.

dered an opinion that will make it
more difficult for Jealous enforcement
officers to seize liquors at depots and
express company office. The holding
is that in interstate shipments, the
state laws can not attach until deliv-
cry has been made by the interstate
carrier.
AS all shipments of liquor received
at Oklahoma stations are interstate
shipments, the conclusion is that Of
ticias may not legally seize liquor in
the hands of the transportation COM
pany. The syllabus of the opinion ex-
plains the holding. 1t is as follows:
I'm order to have the state laws at
tach to an interstate shipment of
liquor it must affirmatively appear
from the evidence that such shipment.
or such part thereof as is sought to be
coniiscated, has been delivered by the
carrier, or its agent, to the consignee,
or his agent.
where it is admitted by the state
shown by the uncontradicted evidence.
or found by the court from evidence
reasonably tending to support such
finding, that intoxicating liquor seiz-
ed were at the time of the seizure
in possession of an interstate carrier,
such liquors can not legally be seized
or confiscated, so long as such ship
ment retains its interstate character
"The state has the undoubted right
to regulate the intrastate shipment of
intoxicating liquors, but can not inter.
fere with or regulate the interstate
shipment of such liquors, and an in.
terstate shipment of intoxicating
liquors does not lose its interstate
character until such shipment is de-
livered to the consignee or to his
agent

whose operations appear to be harm
full or dangerous to the state. 1t is
provided however, that the rights OF
creditors are not to be infringed
and that the interests of stockholders
are to be observed as far as possible.
AS an alternative, the council may
appoint special board Of manage
ment for the business Of such alien
companies, without closing them or
taking them over.
The same regulations are to. ze
applied also to partnerships if any
of the full partners are subjects OF
enemy countries, if it is found that
the work of these partnerships is
harmful or dangerous to the interests
Of the state"
The codifying of these spesial meas
ures against enemy" companies and
is presumably done in
an effort to restrict Illicit trade with
Germany and Austria, which has been
going on to a certain extent through
Scandinavia since the beginning Of
the war.
