LONDON, Dec 10.-The Bulgarians,
heavily rein orced and well supported by
artillery, are renewing violently their at
tacks on the Franco British forces in Mace
donia Their assault has gone through all
the preliminary stages and is now APP
preaching the climax of intensity.
Although pursuit of the Serbians still
continues it is apparent from the proper
tions which the Macedonian conflict is as
suming that the major part of the Bulga-
rian army has diverted it's attention TO
the allies
The outcome of the battle now in pro
gress is awaited with great anxiety in
England, as it will determine in a great
measure the immediate future for the en-
tente powers in the Balkans
The numerical superiority of the Bulga-
rian forces already has been demonstrated
in the initial encounters with the British
Grave doubts are voiced here as to the
ability of the British forces to repel the
increasing momentum Of the Bulgarian at
tacks. There is no indication, however
that the British or French have yet found
it necessary to withdraw further than tho
positions mentioned in recent official com
munications

RATE CASES CONFLICT

1t is rather unfortunate for Portland that she has two
rate her hands at the same time and especially
so since the arguments necessary back one are fatal to
the other The is the rate on lumber from Portland
to northern California points and the other is grain
rates from the interior to Portland and Astoria In the
latter case Portland claims and it seems to us correctly
that her geographical position and the shorter haul
should give her preferential rates. better rates than are
given Astoria The position is taken that while Astoria
should have the same rates Seattle other seapors
or terminal points that Portland should have better rate
than any of he having the shorter haul and the grain
going to Astoria necessarily passing through Portland
Admitting that this contention is sound it strikes us
that the same argument unanswerabe in the matter Of
lumber rates from Portland to California points, the Port
land lumber having to pass through the valley points on
its way to compete with their lumber In this case the
shorter haul is with the valley mills and if the Portland
contention in the grain rates correct and we con-
cede that u.s. then it necessarily follows that the valley
mills are entitled to lower rate than Portland to the
northern California markets

HOPS ARE RECEIVED
AT CONTRACT PRICE BY
GROWERS ASSOCIATION
No Difficulty Encountered In
Financing $4,000 Bales
Remain UnsOId

The Oregon Hop Growers association
has begun receiving the hops signed up
by the growers and up to today had
received about 1900 bales at the ware
houses at Salem, Woodburn and st.
Louis at the contract price of s, 8, 10
or ii cents according to quality The
association will receive hops up to De-
cember 81 when the date of the agree.
ment of the growers to keep to the
conditions of the pool expires. The
association has not experienced any diff
ficulty in financing the hop situation
regardless of the reports that have been
circulated by rivals in the hop business
this year.
The association agreed to advance
contract prices on hops to the growers
provided the pool had not been sold by.
December 81 or to release the growers
from their agreement and the work of
receiving the hops will continue
through the month as there is still
about 10000 bales in the pool.
The association is in possession of
irrefutable evidence that tremendous
pressure has been brought to bear upon
the banks Of the Willamette valley to
prevent them from extending the asso-
citation further financial assistance, in
the effort to force the organization up
on the rocks, but, notwithstanding this
powerful influence, the association has
been successful in making all necessary
arrangements to provide sufficient
funds to carry its stock over an indef-
mite period without embarrassment.
In the efforts to break up the as.
sociation pool and force its holdings
of 10000 bales upon the market when
it was in the midst of depression, the
association officers state that banks
of the valley, which are handling the
association finances, were being urg
emily prevailed upon to compel the
organization to let go at cents, with
out success, and, by reason of its be.
ing able to hold out against any and
all emergencies, the association feels
that it has already made cents, or
$1S0,000 for the growers, as 12 cents
and better is being freely offered the
association by dealers. The association
has been holding out for Is cents and
win continue to do so indefinitely, and
the officers believe that prevailing
conditions warrant this price and that
it will be reached in the very near fu-
ture. ~vt

About Street Car Steps.
Editor Journal: l want in my own

women of Salem who patronize the
street cars to protest voicferously
against the street car steps as at pres
ent arranged. The men perhaps can
negotiate then all right, being longer of
limb and unhampered by skirts, corsets,
bundles, umbrellas, hand bags, baby
and perhaps a baby cart, besides an
array of packages. Just imagine the

would be INDUCED in by the men were
their lower limbs encased in skirts,
which got under their feet every time
they tackled street car. The girls
can manage the steps all right, if there
are no holes in their stockings, and
they are in practice at the GYM but to
the woman who is a bit short and n
trifle plump those steps are sure a bug
bear. They are worse than that for
they are really dangerous. The con

who ought to have been heard from They embarked on
life with high aims and prospectves which should have
become finished works but which have matured
They have disappointed the hopes of heir friends;
They have hidden their talents in napkins, and have
gradually subsidized into obscurity
They waited for prosperity instead of winning it, and
of course never found it. Mcawberke they waited for
something to turn up but as usually happens in such
cases. only disappontments turnedup Good things must
be dug for.
Many of them started out with great expectations but
their energy and ambition evaporated
