How much the crop v.1'1 be cut It Is difficult to estlmute, but conservative growers believe that It will fall from one-fourth to ono-flfth below Uie estimate yield made a month ago. Prominent hop men eatlmuted early In tho acason that the yield of tho val ley tbls year would by 150,000 bnl but Ihn stute will do well If 120,000 or even 100.000 bales are produced, ac cording to the eatlmntes of prominent growers In the northern part of this county and In northern Marlon. Yards In southern Clncknmns which looked very promising a month auo now show the effect of the dry spoil nnd promise only an ordinary yield. Some few yards, which are well cared for, will produre well hut a large ma jority will not eqonl tho eatlmates of the spring. The red spider Is bothering a few of the yards around Aurora, according to roports received here. Other vermin have not proved very troublesome as yet but there la plenty of time for ad verso conditions to still further reduce the yield. The effect of tho European situation on the Oregon hop prices Is not defi nite. The Ilelglnn crop will probably not bo harvested and the yield In Eng land promises to be well up to the standard of former years. OREGON CITY PAPER MILLS NOT AFFECTED Tho big paper mills hero will not be affected by the European war ns are mills In tho eastern part of tho coun try, according to a statement of mill officials hore Tuesday afternoon. Seventy-five per cent of the chemical pulp used In this country comes from Norwuy, Sweden and Germany and nil shipments to this country have been stopped, according to Frank E. Moore, of Wutortown, N. Y who Is president of tho Amorlcnn Pulp & Pnper associa tion. This will work a grent hardship on many eastern mills who find that with Importation stopped, they are short of pulp. However, In Oregon City, tho mills produce tholr own pulp nnd make their own sulphite, thus put ting them on an Independent uiibIb. chsrgu aralnat Humphrey Is obtaining money under false prtunaea.

With 80 teachers enrolled the first day, we are certain to have at least 100 before the end of the week. The work of organ izing the school was completed by noon Monday and the rest of the day was devoted to studies. "We are making an effort to have the teachers, who are now the pupils, taKe an active part in the class work. They are invited to ask Questions, of fer suggestions and criticisms, and ex press their own Ideas on tho subject as we go along. In this way a lesson can be better and more easily learned.'

The United States armored cruiser Tennessee was loaded with over $.-,000,000 in gold for the stranded Amer icans abroad, half of which was appropriated by the government, and ordered ready to sail for Europe. The whole country Is vitally Interested in her progress across the ocean. It was said that she might be convoyed by the battleship South Carolina. The trip is full of possible eventualities, but the people of the United States hope that the sending of the succor ship will not In any way Involve this couuiry In the general war.

At the jail Monday, Malnes was un able to give a reason for his act and maintained that he was drunk and did not know what he was doing.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Aug. 6. (Spe cial) The hero of the national osteo pathic convention In session here this week Is Dr. John A. Van Urakle of Ore gon City. He gave popular lecture this evening and Uld for the first time the story of the medical war which baa been fought over him for a year In Ore gon. He la the only osteopathic Physician In the world wbo has ever held tbe po sition of county health officer, and all the ponderous medical machinery of the Pacific coast haa been set In mo tion In vain to oust him. Here ta Dr. Van Drakle's story aa be told It to night: Last September Judge Anderson of Clackamas county, Oregon, appointed me county health officer to fill out the unfinished term of one wbo bad short ly before been removed by tbe sttte board of health for neglect of duty. I became the only osteopathic countr health officer in the United States. By creating this precedent, he started a series of happenings that have not yet tK-en completed and he Initiated what will probably be an Important factor In medical as well aa In osteopathic L's- tory. Physicians Present Petition. "The physicians of Oregon City pre sented a petition signed by al! the med ical physicians of the town suggesting that In their estimation, my predeces sor had been dealt with unfairly by the state board and In view of that fact. they wished his reappointment. In fact, they further stated that none of them would be able to accept It At this time several persons ap proached me and asked me If I would serve If I were appointed'. The mat ter had never entered my head. I de cided I could legally hold the office and said that I would. The next day I re ceived the appointment. Immediately something happened. The local medi cal fraternity, to put it mildly, went up In the air. The Impossible had hap pened. An office which from time Im memorial had been one ot the many perquisites of medical monopoly was being occupied by an outsider. Of course nothing so ridiculous as that could be maintained and they frankly stated that I would not last much more than a minute aa health officer. Then they promptly organized the Clacka mas County Medical society, which is the official unit of the American Medi cal association, with the one purpose of having me removed from office. The local papers commented upon the fact that for the first time in the history of the town, the doctors had quit quarrel ing among themselves and gotten to gether for a common cause. Threats Maae. "Various dire and ludicrous threats were made and none of them carried out. The state board of health, com posed exclusively of medical men, took up the battle In behalf of the local medical men and notified the coun(y judge that I could not hold the office and that he would therefore have to ap point another man. The judge replied that he thought he could run the coun ty's business without suggestions from the state board of health and ignored the order. "Seeing that simple bluffing would not remove me, the local medical men decided to take the issue Into court. In doing so they had the action broueht in the name of the state and thus shift ed the expense of prosecution from tihelr own shoulders to those of the taxpayers. Immediately It became known I was to be fought In the courts. W. S. U'Ren, independent candidate for governor at the coming fall elec tions and Chris Schuebel, candidate for the state legislature, volunteered their services as lawyers without charge to aid me in the fight The newspapers of the state having taken up the fight, offers of aid, financial and otherwise, came to me from private individuals and from practically every non-medical Interest In the state. But as the State Osteopathic association had de cided to finance the fight, I took the moral support and my attorneys and went Into court. This legal action dragged out over some three months, during which time every minor point was decided in my favor and on the day of the final trial, after I had gone to me expense or bringing witnesses trom an parts of the Btate, the trial was non-suited at the request of the at torneys of the physicians who could see no hope of winning out. Country Doctors Co-operate. "But during all this time, I had been performing the duties of my office. The country doctors, in contradistinc tion to the city doctors, had almost from the start decided to recognize me and so sent in their , reports upon births, deaths, and contagious diseases. The city doctors got around the situa tion by simply addressing their reports to the health office without any name and let It go at that. The postman did the rest and I received the reports. "Just when things had seemed to have quieted down entirely between my medical antagonists and myself, war broke out again. This time it took tbe shape of charges brought by these same men bfore the state board of health In whlcb they declared upon (Continued on pare 4)
