SMALL HOP OUTPUT EXPECTED IN VALLEY The condition of the hop crop In the Willamette valley promisee a smaller output thla season thnn had been ex pected by the trade generally up to the last 19 days. Severe frosts are aliened to have done considerable dam aao to the vlnea by sapping the vitality of the plants at a time when they should be showInK Rood growth. Julius l'lnrua the Portland hop deal er, who haa Just returned from a trip to tho hop nrowlnn aecllona of the state declares that the outlook la far leas favorable alnce the frosta ap peared. "During March," aaya Mr. Plncua, 'there waa much fine weather and hop vlnea all through the valley made un- uaually good growth. The vlnea were growing so fnt that growera decided to cut them back and hoeing became general in the yards. During the last 10 days the heavy fronts have hurt the vlnea and it beglna to look aa If we will not have the crop anticipated earlier in tho year." There Is more or Ichs talk anions hop buyers regarding! a weaker tone in the hop trade both for contracts and apot delivery. Thla la acarcely borne out by the facts.

VENICE GETS 16 HITS PORTLAND LOSES SLUGFEST BY SCORE OF 12 TO 0 I'OllTLAND. Ore.. April 24. Today s game waa a sluufest for Venice. Six teen hits and an even dozen nine were aecured by the Cullfornlana against Portland. Wcat pitched for the Ilea vera and White for the Tlgera. Al thotiKh the game aa well supplied with hits and runs but one error waa made by each of the teams. Doc. White, the Venice twlrler. who made his debut to a Portland crowd toduy. Is a famoua ex member of the Chicago White Sox. He ahowed the fans an exhibition of hla old skill. So Hie compared the game with a con test between a minor and a major lea Kue team. Hogan waa one big amlle when the ninth inning ended and aald that hla men put up an exhibition that thev had not equaled thla year. Juat what waa the matter with Weat, Port land fan exnerta were unable to agree. In the fourth and seventh inning ne waa worse than daring the greater part of the name, nine of the 12 runs being aecured against him then. If the Infield had not backed him up the acore would have been even more un equal than It waa. It waa ladies' day, one of the largest crowds of the present aeries being In attendance. Walter McCredle waa forced to make another change in his line-up. Dave Bancroft being placed In "Dutch" Korea' place at third base and hitting in fifth place. "Uiily " Hawonn aaa Howdy' Elliott were behind the bat for the two teams.

E TOS The market for potatoes continues to show considerable activity and the heaviest buying of the season Is re ported up and down the valley. While aa yet the gTeater portion of the de mand continues for extra aelect stock, there la a fair call for what is consid ered good shipping potatoes and the Intter are bringing from 45c to 60c a cental f. o. b. country points. Selected stock la selling from 6c to 10c a cental above this. California continnea to purchase quite liberally at Willamette valley polnta through Oregon repreaentatlve8. It la stated that moat of the stock is being used for seed potatoes in the vl cintty of Stockton, although quite fair business has passed of late for the reg ular market. The fact that there ia a better de mand for the good atuff haa again in duced many Oregon producera to con sign their stork to the southern mar ket. This is one of the great draw backs to the situation, In fact has been the worst feature of the trade during recent months. A HEAVY BURDEN A Bad Back Makes Life Miserable For Many Oregon City People.

(Adv.) 1 TELLS HIS VIEWS OREGON CITY CANOIOATE AN SWERS QUERIES Or" PORT LAND PAPER PROGRAM OF ECONOMY IS OUTLINED Prominent Republican Advocates Tax for Road Work Would Aboliah Fish and Game Commlaalon Judge Grant Ji. Dlmlck, candidate for Republican nomination for gover nor, ln response to a request of the Portland Oregonlan that he answer eight question concerning hla political views, has aswered as follows: Oregon City, Ore., April 27th, 1914. (Editor Oregonlan I I hereby ac knowledge receipt of your letter of re cent date containing a list of questions submitted to the candlatea for the nomination for governor, and herewith submit to you my answers to the same. Question No. 1. "What reforms in leglHlation do you advocate that will tend to bring about reduced taxation and economy in atate affaire?" In answer to this question I will say that I would remind the legislature of the hardships created by excessive ap propriatlona during the session of 1913, and the creation of salaried board and commissions which carry with them excessive expense accounts to be met by the taxpayers of the atate, and If the members of the legis lature failed to practice economy In state affairs I would attempt to do so myself with the veto power vested In the governor. I would Insist upon the consolidation of a large number of our present boards and commissions and the absolute abolition of others, and the dutlea performed by those abol ished to be placed In the hands of the state board consisting of the governor, secretary of state apd state treasurer without additional compensation, thereby placing the responsibility of expenditures where the responsibility belongs. In answer to question No. 2, "What statea commissions are you in favor of abolishing?" and question No. 3, "What atate commissions are you in favor of consolidating?" I have not now the time to go through these mat ters carefully and aegregate those which should be consolidated from those which I think should be abol ished, as It would require considerable time to intelligently aolve these prob lems, but aa an illustration I will take for instance the atate fish and game commission as now constituted, aa an example, and would recommend that the same be abolished and the dutlea assigned that commission be placed ln the handa of the atate board, consist ing of the governor, aecretary of state and atate treasurer, who should be au thorized to select a commissioner who would pursue a straight, businesslike policy. The report of the state treasurer show that during the year 1913 there waa expended from the game protec tion fund $140,496.17, which Indicates to the average taxpayers that the com mission form of game protection Is ex ceedingly extravagant and should be abolished. I would also recommend the aboli tion of every salmon hatchery main tained by the atate and leave the pro pagation of salt-water fish to the fed eral government, aa the federal gov ernment ia now successfully engaged ln that work, and to further aid our salmon Industry I would recommend the absolute prohibition of every fish wheel and fish trap In the Columbia river tributaries-. Why should the use of the gill nets be prohibited at certain times of the week and certain seasons of the year ln order that salt-water fish may go up the Columbia and its tributaries to thelf natural spawning grounds, and then allow the fish wheel and fish trap operators in the upper Columbia to grab them up and there by cause a demand for expensive arti ficial propagation? Question No. 4. "Are you in favor of retaining or abolishing the state tax commission?" The regulation of state taxes should be left ln the hands of the state board, consisting of the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer, with au thority to appoint one commissioner, skilled ln that particular line of work, and the county assessors of the sev eral counties should be subservient to the demands of the state board and as sess the taxable property of the state as by law required, so that all taxable property shall be assessed at its true rash value, and the true cash value shall be taken to mean what the prop erty would sell for In the open market In the ordinary course of business, taking into consideration its nearness to market and other local advantagea. Question No. 5. "How should tarxes be paid, annually, semi-annually, or quarterly?" In answer to this question I will state that the tax collection law prior to its change ln 1913 by the legislature assembly waa satisfactory, and there was no demand for any tiukering with that law by the legislature, thereby creating hardships on a large number of our taxapyera. I am in favor of the payment of taxes semi-annually by the re-establishment of the tax law which was amended by the legislature of 1913. Question No. 6.- "Are you in favor of the state Issuing bonds for good roads? What are your Ideaa as to state aid for good roads?" I am not In favor of the atate issu ing bonds for good roads, but I am In favor of the present law levying one quarter of a mill annually for road purposes so that the state will be in a position to assist those counties that are helping themselves, and which places the state at large ln partner ship with a movement that meana so much for our general welfare. I am in favor of our present county unit bond ing system so that the legal votera of each county In the state will have the right to bond their unit for permanent road construction, and to be Informed at the time of the election what roads will be Improved and the nature of Uie Improvement, from the money derived from the sale of their bonds. Question No. 7. "Are you ln favor of the state issuing bonds or appro priating money for reclaiming arid land within the atate?" I am in favor of the state loaning Ita credit for reclaiming Ita arid and aemi-arid lands, either by issuing bonds or otherwise, provided, howevei . the states secures itself by first mort gagea upon the land reclaimed at a fair rate of interest ao that the re claiming of tuose lands will be no bar den on the taxpayers at large. Every acre of arid bxnda reclaimed, immedi ately becomes tax producing property JUDGE G DICK of the state, and at the same time adda to our annual farm production. Question No. 8. "What are your Ideas aa to atate aid for reclaiming arid lands?" My answer to Question No. 7 stands as my answer to Question No. 8. H. S.

IT ENTIRE MEXICAN 8ITUATION NOW INCLUDED IN SCHEME FOR SETTLEMENT IS REBEL CHIEF GIVES HIS CONSENT Military Operationa Will Probably Stop Pending Outcome of Negotiationa With Three Republics WASHINGTON. April 29. The scope of mediation plans for the settlement of the Mexican crisis was suddenly broadened tonight so as to Include the entire range of Mexican affairs not alone the critical issue between the United States and the Huerta regime, but also the conflict between the ele ments of northern and southern Mex ico which have rent the republic. "Thia signal enlargement of the mediation programme followed the re ceipt, late in the day, of a formal ac ceptance by General Carranza, chief of the constitutionalist forces, of the principle of mediation, aa proposed by the ambassador from Brazil and the ministers from Argentina and Chile. Already the United States and Gen eral Huerta formally had accepted the good offlcea of these Southern Ameri can envoys and now as a further step General Carranza has been brought in to the deliberations, so aa to draw ev ery element and faction within the range of any settlement which may be attained. Earlier in the day the mediators made another decisive move In ask ing the United States and General Hu erta to agree to an armistice by which all aggressive military movements would be suspended pending the out come of the negotiations. The medi ators confidently expect both sides to accept the armistice proposal. A separate proposal for an armistice aa between Huerta and Carranza will also be made, and with its acceptance all of the warring elements throughout Mexico, as well as the American forces would maintain a military status quo. The American government in Its form al reply to the armistice proposal will stipulate expressly that any untoward act toward Americans will be regarded aa an infraction of the armistice. The South American envoys were In session throughout the city. They sus pended their night session; however, desiring a respite from their almost continuous meetings during the last three days and nights. Up to the time of their adjournment they had progressed steadily on their plans and foresaw a definite statement within the next few daya or their con templated action. BEAVERS TAKE GAME CLEAN AND EXCITING CONTEST STAGED BEFORE BIG CROWD PORTLAND, Ore.. April 29. The game here today between the Beavers and the Seals waa exciting enough for the most exacting fan. Portland was the first to score ln the first inning; then the Californlans tied in the first half of the third but ln the last half Portland brought In two runs only to have the Frlscoltes tie the score again in the fifth spasm. A run In the last half of the ninth by the Beavers saved the game for the home team and brought the acore to four to three. The playing on both teams was clean each aide making two errors. Port land pounded out 10 hits and the Seals six. Elmer Martoninl. for the first time since he was with the Oakland Dodgers three years ago, was given a chance to open a Coast league game today. Strandrldge. a right hander, opined the game for the Seals and Doane was put back at tne head of the batting list. Bobble Davis Is playing with a badly strained hip, due to an injury received down south about 10 days ago in slid ing into a base. Manager McCredle sent him to an electrical specialist this morning. The Beavers are playing under bet ter weather condltiona today than at any time since they returned from the south. The warm weather limbered up the varioua playera immensely. Today waa ladles' day and the usual large delegation of the other sex honored both teams with their presence. Today's batting order: San Francisco Fitzgerald, cf ; O'Learr, 3b: Schaller, If; Downa. 2b; Mundorff, rf; Charlea, lb; Corhan, sa; Sepulveda,c; Standridge, p.

The largest factor contributing to a man's success is undoubtedly health. It haa been observed that ar man la seldom sick when his bowel are reg ularhe is never well when they are constipated. For constipation you will find nothing qnlte so good as Chamberlain's Tablets. They not on ly move the bowels but improve the appetite and strengthen the digestion. I Tbey are told by all dealers. ... - -.' . (Adv.) MEDIATION PLAN BROADENED BOND PflfW QUEEREY ATTEMPT MADE TO SHOW PROP ERTY OWNERS ISSUE WOULD MEAN GREATER TAXES PLAN OF FINANCING IS EXPLAINED Conclusion Drawn From Talk of Knockara of Permanent Roads Convinces Many They Art Mlainformsd Opponents of the bonding project, which Is to be voted upon by the peo ple of Clackamas county May 16'h, are attempting to create the Impression among many of the taxpayers that the lasue, If paaaed, will reault In an in crease In tajcea greater than the aver age citizen can bear. Others argue that It would result In nothing more nor less than a mortgage of tho fu ture and a transfer of our burdens up on posterity. These two arguments have been used during the last few days in the vicinity of Oregon City, ond while Inconsistent, show that either the bond fighters are not well Informed as to the exact nature of the proposed bonding scheme, or that there t a wilful attempt to misin form the voters on the subject of the bond issue. The bugaboo "expense," under the bonding dan aa worked out during the 1913 legislature, will not only be minimized in the long run. but la to be so worked out that the cost will not h noticed bv any one. The trouble ia that the average man looks at the lump aum of J600.000 and dis regards the fact that bonds are to cov er a period of 30 years at an exceed ingly low rate of interest. He seems to have the idea that he must dig up his share of that $600,000 at once, and of course, under such an Impression, there Is a resultant hesitancy to iavor the bonds. The fact Is that not one cent of the principal of the $600,000 will be touched for three years after the bonds are issud. The Interest alone will be nald on the bonds, and this sum can tnnrp than he saved out of the mainte nance and Improvements which would otherwise be sunk in the roads which are to be constructed. Thus there will be no drain on anyone. A levy of less than 1 mill will amply provide for the Interest for the first three years. Then, after the roads are all built, lump sum shall be laid away each year, in addition to the interest, as a sinking fund, so that the bonds can all be taken care of at the expiration of thirty yeara' from the passage there of. And thla sum too, can be eaally provided after three years have ex pired, for, with the permanent roads all constructed and in nse. with the assessed valuation of the county Jump ing ahead ln great stdides, (aa It has in the past three years, for example). both interest and sinking tuna can De taken care of without working a hard ahip on anyone. The beautr of the whole scheme Is that Clackamas county will have the roads rieht at the outset of the oper ation of the plan, or aa soon thereafter as skilled engineering ability and Clackamna county laborers can con struct them. The cltizena of the coun ty have waited in vain for many years, In the hope that the annual expendi tures of hundreds of thousands of dol lars would result in the building of good roads for the county. Thanks to the bonding plan, the voters now have it within their power to possess rea; . permanent highways in the county, . thirteen heavily travelled roads in the most Important sections of Clackamas county, and chosen by our court with rare Judgment, to result in the great est good to the greatest number. In discussing the matter recently one of the county's heaviest taxpayers said: "Do I favor the bonds? Well, rather. The more I look into the bond ing law adopted by our last legislature, the more I am convinced that the idea , is a fine one and can be applied right here ln our home county with splendid results. They say it will increase taxes. I can't see it that way. In my judgment we can save both sinking fund and interest from yearly mainte nance and in the long run we'll have the roads, as a lasting monument to a most judicious investment" IT PORTLAND IS WALLOPED TO THE TUNE OF SEVEN TO ONE PORTLAND, Ore., April 25. They did it again today, those Californlans. They walloped Portland, they punished the Beavers to the tune of seven to one. Fourteen hits, hits that went away out by the fence, were pounded out on Hlgglnbotham, while Portland got only four off of Fleharty, who was in the box for Venice, What waa the matter with Portland was tne favorite topic lor tne saa dened home fans, and it was the pre vailing opinion that the entire team was to blame. From Hlgglnbotham, who pitched and was hit, to the shiv ering gardener out by the fence, the entire team was on the blink. Five errors were made by the home team and with each error the groan from the bleachera grew louder and the smi.e of Hogan's face became broader. Portland's one lone single little tally was made in the third by Hlgglnboth am as a result of a wild throw by a Tiger player. The runa made by the Californlans were scattered through the game clear through to the ninth Inning. ..
