An experiment by the college peo
ple this season has to do with hops.
The belief at the station Is that there
is a large waste of lupulln in tbe pres
ent system ot drying. The usual tem
perature in driers is very high, and
the Inference is that a volltalizitloo
and consequent waste of lupulln, cr
active principle ot the hop, is conse
quent. In tbe present experiment it
is proposed by utilization of air
draughts and other means to attempt
the curing ot heps at a much lower
temperature in the hope of conserv
ing the lupulln cod tent, thereby .pro
ducing a dried hop of greater market
value. Tbe mechanical work ot the
experiment Is to b done co-operatively
in a Yamhill county yard.

Journal: Police Officer Oie Nelson
was shot and striouslj wounded
las"t night in an endeavor,: to; pre

Twenty-third street car." near the j
Wulametta ! Heights triage.' Ha
rests at Good Samaritan hospital,
wbeie today it is said he may re
cover. Walton, the bandit, is in
jail. Walton is 19 years of age and
a brother of Grecs Waljon Haynie,
who accompanied her . husband
when he perpetrated a series of
startling highway' robberies near
Seattle a year ago. :
Walton is a musician by occupa
tion and a highwayman because of
his inclinations to go the pace that
requires money. He was employ
ed as a violin player at Watson's
restaurant, 104 Fourth street, and
was there until shortly after 9 o'
clock last night. , Leaving the res
taurant, he boarded a car and went
to. the scene of the crime.
Bleeding profusely from a wound
in his head, and beaten almost in-
eensible bv the irate conductor of
the ear, Walton made two attempts
to escape as he was being taken to
the hospital. With a nerve that
never failed him he absolutely de
nies his guilt and unfalteringly de
clares that those who say they saw
him shoot Nelson must be mistak
en. .-
In view of several previous at
tempts at highway robbery, one of
which was successful, three weeks
ago, to hold up tbe car, Police Offi
cer Nelson. acc itcpaoied Motorman
G. A. Bingham- and Conductor H.
F. Johnson on tbe trip last nig hi.
Motorman Bingham ,was on the car
three weeks ago when he was held
up and robbed of eight dollars. He
and others Bwear thai Walton com
mitted that crime. -,
Officer Nelson boarded the car at
Twenty-third and Tburman streets
on its outward trip last night. On
reaching the end of tbe line he went
to the front platform with Motor-
man Bingham'. Standing there,
they saw tbe dim outline of a man
by msans of the headlight on the
car.1 The man moLioned and the
car slowed up. There was a band
ag9 across bis face. Both the offi
cer and tbe motorman thought the
boy had tore eyes they thought he
was a boy, for he was small of stat
u and was well dfeseed.
The . car came almost to a full
f i'p, and the conductor rang the
li 1 indicating thai "the passenger
tm i boarded.. The curtains to t'he
In). it windows aud door were down,
a i i the young man and 'the con
dr tor could not be seen from the
.lit platform where the officer and
m norman were stationed.
Suddenly the officer raised the
cuitain Under the brilliant 'glare
of the electric lights in the center
of the car Conductor Johnson -was
handing over his money to the soli
tary passenger, who wore a white
mask, and pointed a revolver at his
victim's head.
The patrolman threw open the
door and looked into the muzzle of
a revolver. The highwayman turn
ed suddenly on him, leaving John
son. - Nelson, rushing forward,
grappled with the highwayman.
The latter being the smaller of the
combatants, fell, and Nelson at
tempts d to pinion his arms. They
gradually worked their way toward
the end of tbe car until they were on
the rear platform. There they fell.
There was a muffled report aud
the officer loosened his hold on the
prostrate man. Stifled with smoke
and pain, the officer's grasp was
broken and the; bandit threw him
self from the car. There was anoth
er shot and a ball grazed the offi
cer's clothing on the right side.
The motorman and conductor John
son were upon the robber in an in
stant. They hurled him to the
ground and Motorman Bingham
succeeded in securing his weapon.
Walton made several" atteufpts to
escape and was beaten severely over
the head by the stret t ear men. So
infuriated was Conductor Johnson
tbat but for the interference of Mo
tor mon Bingham he would have
killed Walton.
rMrs. Alex Thompson of Hep
pner, is to arrive next week, to re
side, while her son Ralph com
pletes a course at OAC. The young
man was in college three years ago
but had to leave for a surgical operation.
