UUlnrt of tlie lllrih, AntWg and Dissolution or un Old nnd I .m..ma >c\v» «... Hi, r- Itig Xgrtti \. Tho Associated Press, the oldest news collecting agency in the United States, which for about two .'durations has supplied ueueral telegraphic news to nearly all tin'leading newspapers in the country, was merged on January 1 with its young unit powerful rival, the United Press Association. This means much to the newspapers of the whole connlry, and is of interest lo every newspaper reader. The New York Associnted Press was or ganized nearly half a century ago by the leading morning newspapers of New York city Ii collect telegraphic news of the United Sliiu-.i. and after the first Atlantic cable was li.id, of Europe. The news was aold t<> the other newspapers in every other Important American city. With tho marvelous rrowth of the tele graphic servicp and the vast IncTMaa in the number oi daily pa pan printed In small towns, the business of the Associa ted Press expanded from a nightly serv ice if a few hundred words of telegraphic news bulletins to a daily service often exceeding 10'),<'00 words irom all points of the civilized world. The business of selling this news to the newspapers of other cities became in time so profitable to the New York association thut its members were not only able to get their own news service practically free, but they distributed at stated intervals hand some dividends on the money invested. So valuable did thi.«i partnership become to each of the original members that the "Associated Press franchise," as it was called, was estimated as an asset worth ♦2, r>o,ooo alone. The newspapers owning it, not only of New York, but the subor dinate associations in Chicago, Philadel phia and other cities, united in refusing admission on any terms to all newspa pers. The Chicago newspapers in like manner formed a Western Associated Press, the leading southern papers a Southern association, the Philadelphia paper.- a l'h adelphia association, all •f these being allies but subordinate to the New York Associated Press, each closing it doors, by the unanimous vote of all its members, against all new com ers. No closer corporation could be im agined. Constant demands of now and grow ing newspapers in all parts of Cue coun try for a rival association ied more than ten years ago to the organization of the United. Press Association, which had at first only a single member in New York city and fifty subscribers in other lesser towns and cities. It sought new custom ers as eagerly us its great opponent, the Associated Press, refused them, and it grew in influence, resources and scope year by year. A few months ago the younger associa tion dealt its ancient competitor an unex pected blow tiy making v contract with the Southern Associated Press which had been for a generation a valuable ally of the New York Associated Press. This step was boon followed by another and greater coup. The Western A^poriuted Press, which included all the leading morning papers of Chicago, St. Louis, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Denver, San Francisco and intermediate cities, sent notice to the New York Associated Press that at the termination of their contracts they would dissolve their partnership and their fu ture alliance would be with the United Press. The campaign of the United Press which had been so signally success ful in the south and west, was then car ried to Europe arid a contract was made with the most powerful news agency there. Neuter's Telegraph company, which performs for the leading English and Continental newspapers the same function that the Associated Press dis charged for the American press. Reut er'« news had been bought exclusively by the New York Associated Press for use throughout the United States. The United Press got it. The old Associated Vress, which had been so many years refusing all newspa per applicants, was driven to seek them iv the west and south ; to seek new sources of news in Europe; and the great loss of income incurred by the loss of impor tant newspapers in other cities was ac companied by a still greater expense in collecting news which had hitherto been supplied by its newspaper oarlners in other cities practically free of charge. A crisis in the Associated Press was in dicated last summer when the New York Sun cast away, as no longer valuable, its partnership in the New York Associated Press and entered the United Press. Other losses of New York papers being imminent a proposition for practical con solidation of the two associations was made and is now ratified. On January 1 the old and once all powerful New York Associated Press (a single share in which was counted as worth a Quarter of a mil lion dollars) was succeeded by. the new association with tlie consolidated resour ces of Isith the United" and Associated Press, under the management of WaMter P. Phillips, whose direction of the United Pre.-s has been so signally successful. Tlie name of the new association is not finally chosen, but it is likely to be the National Associated Press. IN THE EARTH'S BOWELS. Socked Into a Mountain Maelstrom and Found 250 Miles Away. A 'irnncr \iinh»i»irni Talc -It Ret rale tin.- of the Noil M- - nmrkatile Subterranean Waterways. Albert Mason, of Kootenai, B, 0., tells the following wonderful story, which bears the imprint of truth : Two prospectors, named respectively Phil Barnes and Pierre I/Jger, a Flathead Indian guide named Klikat and myself, left Bonner's Ferry on the 7th day of August, and struck out in a northeasterly direction, headed for the peaks and can yons in the extreme northern ran up of the Rockies. The purpose of my two white cimpanions was to prospect for valuable minerals in a section of country which few, if any, while men have ever entered before. My own object was to seek diversion and adventure, and, being a newspaper man, to gather facts hither to uuknowu and make them public at my leisure. ( m the LSth day of August—according to the observations taken by me—we were within 2". or '!0 miles of tbe Cana dian linn and nt an altitude of 7,800 feet. It was noon of the day mentioned above. On our left was n craggy precipice about HO feet high, overhanging a roaring moun tain stream and extending fully two miles to the south. Hut we heard more than the .swash of the running stream. Thero came to our ears a deep, roaring sound, alternating in force, stronger and weaker at intervals of a few seconds. It came in jarring sounds, with a volume like thunder. For some minutes we lis tened in silence. Then suddenly Klikat spoke: "Me know what him is," he said, with a pleased look of apprehension. "Him is Big-Hole-in-thc-Water. Him heap water run to hell and put out devil's camp fire." "Big holo in the water," I echoed, "what do you mean by that, Klikat? " "You come look," he said, advancing to the edge of the precipice nnd#tbrowing himself tint on the rock with his head and shoulders hanging over. "Ugh!" he exclaimed. "Big-Hole-in-the-Water heap mad to-day. Hun funny. Water go in ground ; never come out." Following Khkat's example I cautious ly approached the edge of the projecting rock, threw myself on the ground, face downward, and peered down irom the dizzy height. Barnes and l.cgcr did likewise. It was a curious and awe inspiring sight that we beheld. Straight down be low us there was a deep pool, or lake, about a quarter of un acre in area and inclosed on three sides by high walls of eternal rock, thus forming a perpetual and insurmountable barrier to the pas sage of the water beyond this spot. The noisy mountain stream poured great vol umes of sparkling water into this natural basin and then lost itself. The water in the pool swung rapidly around as on a pivot, and constantly drifted in a steadily accelerated tidal current to the center. And here was the most startling feature of this wonderful stream. In the very center of the deep water was a large circular cavity, or depression, funnel shaped—a suck hole in fact—fully eight feet across at the surface, the water spinning round and round, rushing down ward with lightning speed. A tremen dous force of gravity was at work in that awful pit of darkness, in the center ol this funnel was a great mass of snow white foam, dancing and whirling and scattering flakes of itself around the dark blue rim of tbe vortex. At intervals of fifteen or twenty seconds there would be a greater downward rush of water, ths pillar of foam would disappear with the increased speed of the current; then the roar would increase in volume, another pillar of foam would form, only to disap pear a few moments inter as the previous one had done. It was a grand, a terrible sight. I glanced at my two friends, who like myself were electrified by this mighty freak of nature. "If I could find a ledge of quartz with color in it anywhere near by," observed Mr. Barnes "I would erect a stump mill right here and drop a horizontal wheel into that boiling suck hole. Great Scott I but wouldn't it spin though ? " I rather thought it would, but at that moment my attention was suddenly snd shockingly attracted to Klikat, who had been lying about eight feet away on my left. There was a low, crumbling sound, and then a mass of shelving rock right under Klikat broke loose and fell with a fearful crash into the edge of the whirl ing pool. 1 started to my feet just as I saw the Indian making frantic efforts to cling to the edge of the cliff. But li'\A hold was too slight and the rock crumb led under his grasp. Without uttering a word or sound of any kind Klikat fell headlong into the mad water beneath. After a few seconds lie came to the sur face. Barnes rushed to one of the pack mules for a rope, hut it wus too late. Three, four, five times did Klikat swing around in a spiral course that gradually drew nearer to the center of tho great fun nel, at the same time making frantic ef forts to swim out of it. But it was labor lost. With a movement that looked like COPPER m YBTED mul§9 ***g** t ?~ *^**"^ x^VekY i>£xlrj GUARANTEED. ADDRESS: SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. a sudden twist he shot into the very cen ter of the vortex. For one brief moment he spun around like a top, and then down he went with the pillar of foam, out of sight into the bowels of the earth and the darkness of death. Wo at last reached the south shore ol Lake Kootenai. Just before sundown we anchored on the west shore and pulled our canoe out of the water. We «>t once begun preparations for a camp hre, and it was while in the act of gathering dry driftwood along the shore that Leger dis covered a very ghastly object lying in the water within six feet of land. It was the corpse of a man—an Indian. Leger ot once called us to him, and to gether we dragged the body ashore. Tlie face of the dead was badly bruised and torn and utterly disfigured. The body was very much bloated, too, and all we could see for a certainty was that the corpse was the remains of an Indian. "Hold on!" suddenly exclaimed Barnes, as he leaned over the dead body and cut something from the neck —a piece of ragged cloth. "By !" he cried, as bo raised himself erect and held up the article mentioned. "Th's is the remnant of my silk handkerchief, w'.icli I gave to poor Klikst to cover the gash he cut on his neck by that dead limb one day—do you remember? And see! Right here in this corner is my mono gram, 'P. B. worked in silk." It was so. We all recognized the silk en rag, and we all knew that tbe corpse before us was the dead body of Klikst, who had fallen into the funnel of that awful subterranean river fully '.'SO miles away, far up in the Rockies of northern Montana. And yet there was his corpse, drifted ashore on this lake, between which and the "big hole iv the water" there is not the slightest connection so far as mortal eye can see. LATE NEWS ABOUT HOPS. Meeker's Hop Circular Contains Some Pacific Coast Estimates. Puget Mound (.rowers ore llii couraged-Ueduced Yield, Poor Quality and Added Cost are Depressing* Locally there has been no movement in hops and the business generally appears to be stagnant. There may be a change for the better with the new .ear and the belief is general that dealers can no longer keep prices down after the first of April or May, but for the present twenty cents is the best offer for choice. Not less than a thousand new acres will be planted to bops in Ynkima county this coming spring, and many believe the hop area will be doubled. Contractors are busy getting out poles in Yakima, Kittitas ami Pierce counties and the esti mates are that upwards of twelve hun dred thousand will be required to supply the demand. GHOWEKS ON THE WOW) I.ISCOIBAOED. James L. Steel, a prominent hop grower of the Slaughter district, shows the general discouraging outlook of this industry on the sound by the following statement to a Seattle Telegraph reporter: "Things don't look particularly bright for the crop on hand. The brewers are i living from hand to mouth, in regard to j stocks, with the intention of keeping j down prices. Formerly, from 2")00 to | 3000 pounds per acre was considered a i good yield. Now we arc lucky if we realize 180il pounds per acre. The falling off is partially due to a grub worm which attacks the roots. I dug up a root a short time ago ii which was attached a dozen and a half of these worms, and Ihey are similar to the grub worm which attacks the corn east. It costs us frmn three to four dollars an acre to spray the vines for the destruction of the bop louse. A few years ago we used to realir-e as much for the first year's planting as we do now from toe third year's growth." I DEALERS TRAINING THE UItOWKRS. Buckley Ilanner. Dealers in Puyallup who in other years bought thousands of bales of bops now seem to care little whether they nurchase or not. The effort ou the part of dealers seems to be to reduce the London market below j the normal home market. 1 .ally, the Puyallup buyer, has said that growers consigning to London would be made sick and sorry for having done so. Evi dently the buyers want to control the home market and will wear thousands of bales threadbare shipping and re shipping in order to buy at low figures of growers and monopolize the advantages of the London market ta the exclusion of the growers. While the grower is shipping to Lon- don the dealer is shipping to London also to reduce the price there though he does not sell. When the grower has become discouraged and sold at a low figure, the dealer ships his hops back to New York and thus by the removal of the weight of a surplus, prices in London go up. The dealer is then ready to sell, but the poor grower has cold, having been headed off at every turn. The result of this, as one year succeeds another, is the feeling in the grower's breast that he ia not in it for the big money to be made in hops whether he ships his own hops or sells at home. This is the docile temper of the grower that suits the dealer. When the dealer has the grower properly trained he con buy in the yards at his own price and sell in the markets of the world at a handsome profit. MEEK IK'S DECEMBER .'Ha 1 I «. I- Pi'YAi.ur, Wash., Dec. 20. Now that the hop crop has long since been harvested and the yield quite defi nitely determined, the all absorbing topic has been, and is yet, that of the market. Never liefore in the history o. the trade has there been so wide a difference in opinion between producers and consu mers as has developed within tho past two months as to the value that should be placed upon the growth of 1892. Con sumers have persistently hammered the price down, while growers have as stoutly contested any decline. Notwithstanding that the market has moved very slowly and growers have been reluctant sellers, prices have sagged fully two cents per pound during the peri od uuder review, so that now, for hops that 22 cents was freely otlered and re fused, are selling at 20. The Loudon rrmrket —The London mar ket ia dull and quiet, with free offerings and buyers holding oil', demanding lower prices. Washington and Oregon — Strictly choice export hops, Washington and Or egon, 20c; good medium, 18c; second to low medium, Mffiltic. The above quota tions are based on actual transactions of 2,000 bales purchased within tlie last fort night, and not less than 1,000 bales re ported purchased. California —The movement in California hops has been more free, as there had been nearly one-third of thr.t crop con tracted l>efore haTvesliiig. The range of prices there since the market opened bus been from 18 to 2'2'..e, with but few sales at the Intier price. The future —The future of the market is one of those problems past (hiding out. While we do not now expert to see a re covery from the present decline, yet, we do not look for any lire;.!; on the choice growths suitable tor export. Hie low grades on which there has as yet been no fixed value, it is difficult to even guess what they will go off at; as vet. no offer has been made on them. 18 to estimated that about one-half, 0* in round numbers gQfIUQ bales, of the California crop; oue-foiirlh, 0? about D,* 000 bales, of tbe Oregon crop, iiml one* seventh, or 3,000 bales, of Ihe Washing ton crop have gone forward from the coast. Thus it w.ll be seen that if the previous estimates ot the crops ari ap proximately correct there is still rei 'iiin ing of the crops of the three statrs: Hales. CslitoruiH .... . *->O.UOO Oregon . .15,000 Wsslihigtoii .17,000 Totsl 52,000 Fully 10,000 bales of these are low grades, and can hardly be rated as stock. Growers of Oregon and Washington have learned a lesson this year not soon to be forgotten. We have crops here nt Puyal lup, at this writing, that will readily sell for 20 cents.while others would, if offered, go begging at 15 cents or under. This is caused wholly because of the manage ment, or rather in the lktter case to the mismanagement in the care of the grow ing crops nnd harvesting. It has been practically demonstrated that we can, if we will, produce as choice a hop as ever in our palmiest days, when we were without the pest, if we will but follow experience and not go offiuto end less experiments. We have this confi dence in tbe foregoing statement, that wo have now prepared the ground and pur chased the poles to set out 80 acres in,(.d dition to our yards at Puyallup and Kent. The additional cost for spraying need aot be over one cent per pound, and in many cases will certainly be less. Adverlls.-d Letter l.lat.
