SOME YARDS ABANDONED East Side Reports Are Less Favor able Than West of River, Still Price Keeps . Low Despite the Gloomy Outlook. Th prospects are for light shower here Friday, but I do not think there" will be a heavy rain. It will prob ably again be cloudy. The rain to day was not general in the Valley. L. Ltodholz. local forecaster tempo rarily in charge of the Weather Bureau. These are anxious days and sleepless nights for the Oregon hopgrower. The crop probably the largest ever grown in the state and on the eve of being harvest edIs at that critical point where only a few days of bad weather would mean ruin. A short period of sunshine and dry air and the bulk of the crop will be saved. Otherwise the loss to the state will run Into the hundreds of thousands. Even with weather conditions favorable the entire crop of Oregon. Is not going to be gathered. The low market price of hops has made it difficult for growers to negotiate loans on the crop, and some of them have found it utterly impossible to raise money with which to pick the hops. The country and city banks have refused to advance money on the crops alone, and no farmer has enough faith In, the future of the market to pledge his lands as security. The result will be that a considerable portion of the crop of the mailer growers will be left on the v'ines. The hops that will be thus sacrificed, however, will be those of inferior quality, nd it will be the best thing for all con cerned that they are not picked. What Is worrying hopmen most, how ever, is the blight that has attacked the rards in several parts of. the state, and may become general unless the weather changes for the better. Mold, as the re ult of the presence of flee, appeared after the hard rains of a week ago. and the damp weather since then has only aggravated the trouble, it Is impossible yet to state the exact extent of the dam age, but allowing for the exaggeration, which is natural under the circumstances. It may be said that a fifth at least of the :rop will never find its way into the kilns. East Side Suffers Most. The worst spots appear to be on the east side of the river. In the big yards on the West Side comparatively little in jury Is reported. In Clackamas County some of the yards have already been abandoned. Several yards near Oregon City. Woodburn and Buttevllle will not he picked because of their moldy condi tion. Marlon County is spotted, with eome farms showing no trace of mold, wh.lle bad conditions exist In neighboring yards. On the west side of the Willam ette the only signs of mold are in a few ipots along the river. Generally speak ing, the yards are better In the southern snd than In the northern part of the Val ley. , Practically all the reports at hand are from Infected yards, and when It Is con sidered that less than 100 of the 1200 yarder of the state have been heard from, it can be seen that the blight Is by no means general In the state. What the growers and the trade fear Is- that the weather from now on will not "be right and that the mold will appear In yards not now affected. If conditions become no worse Oregon will turn out about 126,000 bales of hops, and they will be of exceptionally fine quality, as the growers will find no In ducement to gather hops of any but a prime or choice grade. Low Price for Sew Crop. The market price of new hops at pres ent Is from 7 to 9 cents, a figure that shows little profit to the grower, and !here Is nothing In sight to promise any )etter price In the near future. The trou pe in the markets of the world Is over reduction of hops. Cable advices re vived yesterday estimated the world's production this year, provided "the hops are all picked. . at 2,000,000 cwt. The world's crop last year was 1,577,000 cwt. CONFLICTING YARD REPORTS Growers Finding Mold on Their Hops Cease Picking. SALEM, Or., Aug. 29. (Special.) Various reports were received today from hopyards In this part of the Valley, some to the effect that much mold has de veloped, while other reports are that mold has not been found.. From the different reports several conclusions are drawn by disinterested persons; that In yards that were sprayed, there Is no mold; that in some sections there is no mold, even though the hops were sprayed; that In some sections a large majority of the . yards have mold and the hops .will be scarcely worth picking. It is also apparent that some growers are picking hops believing them to be free from mold, while In fact they are badly infested. Many of the growers examine only the lowest hops where mold has usually been found, but It Is said that this year the hops on top of the vines are the moldy ones and these the growers do not examine. In about a dozen yards m the vicinity of Mount Angel and Silverton, picking was abandoned today and the pickers dis charged because the growers found that the hops are moldy. Wherever growers find that they have moldy hops they quit picking, for it Is apparant that only first-class hops will bring a price suffi cient to cover the cost of picking. In two or three days a pretty fair Idea may be had of the extent of the mold. In the meantime dealers who are interested In boosting or bearing prices are using the condition of the yards to promote their own interests. LAXE GROWERS WILL NOT PICK Many Yards May Be Plowed Up if Conditions Do Not Improve. EUGENE, Or., Aug. 29. (Special. ) A number of hopgrowers In Lane County will not have their crops picked this year, owing to the present low price' of hops, the high price of labor and the gloomy outlook for a rise ' In the hop market. The crop over the county will show a good average. Those men who will not harvest the crop, as a rule, say that it Is the best yield they have had in years. In some cases the best they have ever bad. Two or three yards were dug up last year to give place to crops In which there Is not the gambling element there is In the raising of hops, and it seems probable that more yards will go this Fall If con ditions in the market do not Improve. The land on which hops are raised will produce a good Income from other crops that are much more certain as to price. OREGON EDITORS' OUTING Press Association Goes to Seaside and Astoria for Meeting.

REJECTED EVEN BY POORHDUSE Mr. Morris, of Hie Never-Work Club, Tastes Very Dregs . of Humiliation. EXILE SENTENCE OF COURT James Holland, Accused of Taking Property Not His Own, Pleads Illness and Is Sentenced to 90 Days. To go to the Poor House is like drink ing deep of the cup of humiliation, but Thomas B. Morris has partaken of it even to the dregs. Nobody questions the fact that Thomas ' is an active member in the Never Work Society for Gentlemen, although In the Mu nicipal Court yesterday morning this aged traveler Btoutly maintained his innocence. "You can't work any more," said the Judge. "I can that." said he. "Me and me partner fwlth a rough gesture toward another member of the same society) could make a good living if we were given a chance." . "But you are old and feeble and can hardly see. -I think you had better go to the County Farm." "All right," said Thomas, 'Til go. I know the way." ' He's been there times," said Clerk Hennessy. "Just a minute," said the Judge as he listened to a statement concern ing Thomas from the Warden. I guess you can't go t h e r e," con tinued the Court. "What?" queried the old man, his voice trembling. "can't go to the Poor Farm.?" "They don't want you there," said Clerk Hennessy. Thomas passed a palsied hand across his brow. "Not even to the Poor Farm?" "You'll have to leave town," said the Judge. This was humiliation complete, and under its load the aged wayfarer bent his steps out of the court and out- into the world an exile, friendless and alone. James. Holland, recently exiled to St. John, could stay away from the Rose City no longer, and three days ago be came an undesirable member of Its popu- a good j many if p2? SI latlon. Haxing inherited a few choice Ideas concerning labor. Mr. Holland has ever sought to keep his record clear of any such degrading action. Nothing that he should do would tarnish the fair name of and reduce It to the level of capital ist and tradesman. But Mr. Holland had to live, and to live necessitated funds therefore, since long ago the family estate had passed Into the mercenary hands of some cap italist, the daily wants must be supplied at the expense of some worldling whose hands were tainted from the picking of coins. A gentleman robber, an inland pirate could save his name and supply his wants, and to this end Holland applied himself with ill worth of success the first night. But suc cess spelled disaster, for in Its wake came the arm of the law, and James looked out from behind the prison bars. Before the bar . of Justice Holland pleaded illness, for he was well aware that his ideas of caste would have no weight with the court. "I've got consumption," said he. "I think you have," said the court, "and what you consumed belongs to someone else. There Is a great demand for work and yu have no excuse." "But you see I'm" "Yes, you are James Holland, gentle man. . Thirty days," said the court. The Municipal Court yesterday morn ing robbed a sick man of his only sup port. That is, if the statement of the Invalid's wife Is accepted. Wednesday night Mrs. Anne Connelly went down to Sixth and Couch streets to get some medicine for the sick man. Feeling the need of a stimulant herself, this nurse, housekeeper and breadwinner felt It no harm to take one glass of good old rye. Being a poor mathematician, Anne disposed of several bumpers before she began to count then she remembered her sick husband, and she was broke. Officer Galbralth observed her dejected condition, and thinking a ride in the city hack would cheer her, helped her in. Anne made no protest, it seemed good to be waited on, but when brought be fore the Municipal Court yesterday morning the thought of her poor sick husband overcame her, and loudly did she protest against being compelled to longer remain away from him. "I'm his only support," moaned Arine, "and he's awfully sick." "I should think it would make him sick for you to Ret this way," said the court. "I'll give you five days, and by that time you'll be better and so will your husband." 1 HI Married Man Takes Out Li cense to Wed. . WIFE STOPS PROCEEDINGS Tom Word's Son to Wed.

De Divers started for the County Courthouse the other day to swear, out a warrant for her husband's arrest for non-support she did not know that he liad secured a license to marry another woman, and that the wedding was to come off the same evening. After talking for a few minutes with a Deputy Clerk and the brother of the prospective bride, how ever, and looking up the record of the marriage licenses Issued, she became certain that her husband meant to commit bigamy. As a result of these investigations De Divers Is now in Jail awaiting trial. His ball was fixed at 500. Deputy Sheriff N. H.BIrd was de tailed to arrest De Divers Wednesday night. This woul0 have been an easy matter had De Divers put in an ap pearance at 8 o'clock, the hour set for the wedding ceremony. The bride waited at 163 Wood street, and the minister waited, but no bridegroom was to be seen. Then the Deputy Sheriff, who lives near De Divers, went home and retired, leaving Ernest Sell blnder, a brother of the prospective bride, to notify him in case Do Divers appeared. . During the time when the ceremony was to' have been performed De Divers was piloting schooners over the bar to his heart's content. . He met Mrs. Minnie Johnson, his bride-to-be or not-to-be, at 10 o'clock, and together they Journeyed to a, nearby saloon for a pail of beer. It was- about this time that the Deputy Sheriff was awakened by a quick rap on the door, and In a short time had handcuffs on De Divers, and was on his way with his charge to the County Jail. De Divers first meet Mrs. Johnson when he was waiting on tables at the Louvre restaurant. He has also been employed at the Quelle, the Savoy and other restaurants 1n this city and Seat tle. Mrs. Johnson Is 29 years old, and De Divers is of the same age. Mrs. De Divers, who claims she has been his wife for five years, was, be fore her marriage, Miss Nellie McDon ald. She Is now living with her par ents at 128 Spring street, at Mount Tabor. She married De Divers Decem ber 24, 1903, and the ceremony was performed by Rev. H. J. Talbot. They lived at 1184 East Main street, and have one child 2 years old. It Is said that De Divers believed his wife had secured a divorce, as when they separated several months ago and he went to Seattle she told him she intended to do so. SCES TO REGAIN DOWER RIGHT Mount Scott Property Claimed to Re Part of Peck Estate. Mrs. M. L. Peck has brought suit in the Circuit Court against S. B. Cobb, president of the Standard Box & Lumber Company, claiming her dower rights to about 10 a-res of land on the Mount Scott car line which were left by her husband. She al leges that upon the death of her hus band Cobb took possession of the property and now claims it as his own. This suit is the beginning of litigation by which It is hoped to clear the title to property valued at between $20, and $25,000. When Mr. Peck died the tract of 10 acres, one-quarter of a mile east of the city limits on the Mount Scott line, was worth but $1000 an acre, but It has since Increased In .value on account of the Improvements put upon it by a number of people who purchased lots with a clouded title. A part of the property is said to be held by the Mount Scott Railway Com pany, and the balance by about 500 small holders The whole trouble arose over three mortgages for $6000. $2000 and $1500, upon which Mr. Peck borrowed money at various times. Upon the death of Mr. Peck the arrangements in regard to the mortgages were attended to by President Bowman of a defunct East Side bank. For some reason the dower rights of Mrs. Peck and her children were not properly cared for, and this furnishes the ground for the present suit. Bronaugh & Bronaugh, attor neys for Mrs. Peck, express the opin ion that she will regain possession of the entire property. Sensational Divorce Suit Appealed. Mrs. Ella G. Andrew has appealed to the Supreme Court from the decision by Judge Frazer last March granting a divorce to Charles B. Andrew. In rendering his decision the court re ferred to the woman's story -as a mar velous tissue of fabrication, she having said tlat she tapped the tele phone wires to her husband's office In order that she might listen .0 his conversation with other women. Tes timony in the case also showed that she threatened to commit suicide that her husband might have her body for a Christmas present. Suit Against Lemcke Dismissed. The suit filed against the H. W.
