GETTING READY FOR NOME
ELDER IIAS TAKEX OX COAIi ASH
IS READY JFOR CARGO.
.She "Will Sail WItfe 'FaU Pfljienger
) Llst, aad Leave Maay Behind
Jfovr at AlHTrorth Dock.
The steamer Geo. "W. Elder finished
coaling' at the Alaska dock Saturday, and
will drop 'down to the Ainsworth dock to
day. She will begin loading her freight
"Wednesday, and Is expected to sail ior
Cape Nome Saturday, the 26th. A full com.
plement of passengers and freight ore
already assured. Several persons who
had the Nome fever last Winter now show
signs of "backing out, and their tickets will
probably be snapped up at adanced
prices. The reason given for change of
heart Is lack of courage when the hour of
departure comes, In some cases, while
lack of funds causes others to abandon the
adventure.
A glance1 at the array of freight to be
taken on the Elder shows a Jarge propor
tion of machinery for treating the sands
of Nome. There are jmmps of -all con
ceivable patterns, each of which Is guar
anteed to. be the very best for raising
either frsh or salt "water for the sluice
boxes ffid "gold-saving" machines. Then
tlere are piles, of the more simple rock
ers taken "by parties who expect to sell lo
onlners of llihlted means, for the purpose
of earning good wages per day to the
man. There are tents of all makes and
sizes, some intended for lodging-houses
and some for protecting the companies of
men -who band together to wdrk the dig
gings. Oil stoves form a large propor
tion of the cargo, as oil Is to be the fucL
of that country, and nearly every outfit of
any size Is provided with a quantity of the
fluid for use where the driftwood of the
beach is inaccessible. Some work horses
will also be taken- by the Elder, but the
bulk of the live stock leaving Portland
for Nome will go by the Despatch, which
is to start about June 1.
Prospective passengers, who have been
waiting at the Portland hotels for several
weeks, are becoming very restjve, and
they hate to hear of the day of sailing
being postponed. Those who are Informed
about the navigation of Behring Sea,
however, are content to remain until they
dan embark without prospect of detention
by floating Ice, which hugs the shores of
Northern Alaska In great bodies during
the month of June. They think it bet
ter to remain In Portland a few days
longer than to anchor at Dutch Harbor,
which is a bleak roadstead near the north
western end of the Alaska Peninsula.
Mariners who have been obliged to loiter
there xeport It a dismal place, where the
country is generally low and flat, and
even the water of the harbor Is too shal
low for safe anchorage. In case of a
storm the vessel has no shelter, and so
has to stand out to sea. Dutch Harbor
lies on the northern side of Unalaska Isl
land, and Is 715 miles from Cape Nome.
If tho Elder encounters no delay she will
reach Nome within 15 days of leaving
Portland, but the floating ice of Behring
Sea has to be taken into consideration,
and so the passenger may consider him
self fortunate If he arrives at his destina
tjon by the middle of June. Thus, they
who are patient and wait until they can
leave with safety, are Just as likely to
reach the Cape as soon as those impatient
ones who have been sailing from Puget
Sound for the past two weeks. There is
no settlement to speak of at Dutch Har
bor, and so passengers cannot go ashore
to while away the time, but must pace
the decks and watch the sea until Cap
tain Randall thinks it safe to resume the
journey. Then, if the ice gets too thick,
the vessel mu&t put about again, and re
turn to Dutch Harbor for another stay.
This Is the experience of those who started
too-early- for Nome, St. Michael and
Kotzebue Sound last year.
BUYJXG 3IIKIXG OUTFITS.
People Going: to Some Keep Stores
Busy.
The crowd of persons preparing to leave
for "Nome on the steamers Geo. W. El
der and City of Nome have kept Alaska
outfitters busy of late, and piles of all
sorts of goods and provisions suitable for
miners in the frozen North are stacked
in warehouses awaiting the berthing of
these steamers. In hardware stores the
miners maye been buying picks and shov
els, gold-pans and scales, sheet-Iron
stoves of many styles for burning coal
oil, coal and wood, all sorts of carpen
ters' tools, nails, etc., for building houses,
making rockers, sluice-boxes, etc.
Along the streets many people are seen
Investigating the merits of rockers of
varlou- patterns, some fitted with plates
of copper, etc, which would extract gold
from decomposed granite. Some buy large
iiasks of quicksilver, others keep plumb
ers .busy making small flasks out of Iron
pipe, which will hold 10 to 15 pounds of
quicksilver, and can be carried rolled up
ln one's blankets. Some were seen In
vestigating a stove which it was alleged
burned air, with only enough coal-oil to
grease it; but a grizzled ord miner de
clined to buy, remarking to his partner,
with a wink of one eye, that, he feared
wind would not be so plentiful at Nome
as here.
. Some supply themselves with canteens
for water, magnifying glasses, miners'
Horns, and a thousand and one other
things, and all take care to have plenty
of warm clothing1 and stout boots 'and
other footwear, for the climate cannot
be depended upon to be summery even In
summer In the vicinity of the Arctic cir
cle. The miners who Joined the grand rush
to California in the days of old. the days
of -gold, the days of '49, and thereabout,
enjoyed the cream and the comfort and
the poetry of gold mining. California was
not governed by Boers, nor within the
Arctic regions. It was a paradise in the
way of scenery and climate, where a
shady tree furnished all the shelter need
ed. Where game of all kinds roamed
plains covered with beautiful flowers and
rank grasses. Where everything was
lovely and only man was vile. A few
'49ers will make their last camp In the
barren fields and under the gloomy skies
of Alaska; but most of the few who still
remain on earth are not any longer anx
ious to join the rush for new diggings, as
they were in the days of old.
AFFAIRS IN HONOLULU.
American Political Alllfrnment "Sot
to Be Adopted Basinets Lively.
HONOLULU, May 12, via San Francis
co, May 20. If their leaders have any con
trol over their political destinies, the na
tives of the islands will not for some
time to come express affiliation with either
of the two political parties. So much
was dee'ded by a number of them at a
meeting hold recently. At this meeting
were men Inclined to be Republicans, and
some-favorable to the principles of De
mocracy. A majority, however, favored
some sort of Hawaiian alliance, taking
lnuch whites as were acceptab.e to their
ldcab. The Portuguese were mentioned.
The Idea of the natives Is to form an
Independent party. It was remarked that
out of 14.000 votes that .could be mus.
'tered, the natives would poll MOO. Some
of these would be lost to the Republican
and Detnocratlc parties, but with whl.e
nad Portuguese allies thej would have
a large majority.
The final assurance of a stable govern
ment will, it is predicted, rause a finan
cial boom in Honolulu. In addition to the.
Influx of capital that is expected from
the mainland, comes word that Presi
dent McKInley has approved a bill late'y
passed by the Council of State, makng
available $2,000,000. Word has also been
received that Secretary Gage has an
nounced that within 45 days-the Washing
ton Government will call In 'the Ji.000.OD0
of bonds assumed by the United States
and pay for them. Probably 33.000,000 of
these "bonds are held by the Hawaiian
people, and it la estimated that $2,0)0 003
are now in the Islands. Added to this,
the plantations will pay their dividends
In June and July.
Kamalo plantation and the American
sugar plantation, both on the Island of
Molokal, have suspended operations. Work
on the Kamalo has been stopped on ac
count of.. lack of funds. The American
Sugar Company could not develop a pure
water supply and therefore was compelled
to suspend what promised to be one of
the largest sugar estates in the world.
For a time the steamer, freight and pas
senger service between the islands and
Coast will be lesB convenient than it has
been. The steamships flyng foreign flags
will not carry freight or passengers be
tween here and the Coast after June 14 in
accordance with the territorial bill. The
Canadian-Australian line is not affected,
as their steamers go to Victoria and Van
couver, and not to American ports.
COLOMBIA IN BAD SHAPE.
Rebels Operating? About Panama
Paper Money Wertk 5 Per Cent.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 20. Advices
from Colombia, by the Royal Mall steam
er Trent, say the rebels are operating
around Panama, which Is full of troops,
some of whom are quartered In the
churches. An engagement took place May
16 north of Panama, the rebels being
driven off.
Carthagena Is still In possession of the
Government. The Trent was to have con
veyed a body of troops, to Carthagena, but
the rebels destroyed the bridges on the
night of May 13, thus preventing the
troops arriving for embarkation.
On the same night a desperate engage
ment took place outside of Carthagena, in
which the Government troops were vic
torious. As many as 600 rebels are said
to have been killed In the fighting. The
country Is in a frightful state, paper 'dol
lars being only 5 cents each.
Two Princeton Freshmen Drowned.
PRINCETON. N. J., May 20. While try
ing to shoot .the rapids in a canoe in
Kingston Dam, about two miles from
Princeton, Philip Hay, of Nutley, jN. J.,
and Christopher Colon Augur, of Evans
ton, 111., members of tho sophomore class,
were drowned this afternoon. Augur's
body was recovered.
Augur was the son of Major J. A. Augur,
of the United States First Cavalry, now
In Manila. He was 23 years old and assist
ant manager of the gymnasium team. Hay
was-19 years old.

A CENTURY OF ALTRUISM
REV. "WILLIAM S. GILBERT READS
THE SIGXS OF THE TIMES.
Material Development "Will ."Set Be
Greatest Trlaiaph of Next 100
Years Otker Sermons.
Kev. W. S. Gilbert, pastor of Calvary
Presbyterian Church, spoke yesterday
morning from the text Matthew xvi:3:
"Ye can discern the face -of the eky, but
can ye not discern the e'gns of the
times?" He sala in part:
"Men have always endeavored to pierce
the veil of the future. Soothsaying, astrol
ogy, oracles, omens, prophecy, fortune
telling, seen, witchcraft, palmistry, phre
nology, spiritualism, are efforts to unlock
what shall be. Tomorrow! If we could
only know what It holds In Its hand, with
what confidence we could launch cur en
terprises and make preparations for what
awaits us. If we could only see beyond
our horizons of time and place, then
would we fill the days with careful equip
ment. "Tho details of the future are mercifully
hidden. Tomorrow known would be today.
While the details of tomorrow are hidden,
the germs of tomorrow are In today. The
eky Is full of signs by -which, we may know
with probability what may be the general
conditions In the day to come. Coming
events cast their shadows before. We
may discern In- the face of the sky the
coming storm or calm and may stake our
interests, undertake Journeys, gather har
vests and prepare for whatever comes.
The sun rose yesterday and each day sinco
history's beginning. It will rise tomor
row. Evil has wrought destruction for
nations since history's beginning. It will
be so today, it will be true tomorrow. The
signs of the times; If we are able rightly
to Interpret them, are very sure prophe
cies. "The Pharisees out of sheer lnquisitlve
ness pressed upon the Master and asked
him for a sign from heaven. They wanted
to see into the future by means of some
marvelous manifestation of some strange I
appearance from heaven. Christ's reply
to them Is significant and has an edge
to It: Te can discern the face of the
sky, and can ye not discern the signs of
the times? A wicked generation asking
for a sign! The sign of Jonah ought to
be sign enough of the future for you.'
"The Master expects men to use 6ense.
If the signs of the sky tell what shall
be, so also do the signs of the times re
veal what the times shall bring to pass.
He who Is Interested In what events prom
ise to be, let him read the signs of the
times. Every mariner on the great sea
ought to read well every sign.
"Within the last decade there has been
an immense stride In practical Christian
ity. Christianity has been Christianizing
Itself. The plain Sermon on the Mount
has taken hold of the world. The Good
Samaritan is the Ideal man. At this mo
ment the world's greatest strike Is taking
place. Organized capital has been met
by organized labor. The business world
Is being compelled to co-operation. The
Ecumenical Conference of Foreign Mis
sions (the world's greatest convention) Is
only one sign of the world movements of
our day. While It Is true that this world
Is wrapped In sin, still It Is also true that
progress has been made, and the signs
of the times are full of hope. Tares
and wheat will always be, but the har
vest time comes on apace."
EAST SrDE PULPITS.
Rev. G. A. Blair May Be Elected Su
perintendent of Missions.
During the absence of Bev. G. A. Blair,
pastor of the First Cumberfcind Presby
terian Church, attending the Jessionof the
General Assembly at Chatanooga, Tenn.,
Rev. William R. Bishop, formerly an ac
tive minister. Is conducting the services.
Mr. Bishop still speaks with much of
his former vigor and interest The mem
bers of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church In Portland and the stato are
watching with Interest the outcome of the
action of the General Assembly relating
to the appointment of a general superin
tendent of missions for the United States,
for which Mr. Blair has by them been
made a candidate. He Is supported by
many Influential friends In the East, as
well as by Oregon friends. His fitness
for that peculiar work Is conceded by
every one who Is familiar with his Port
land work. As an organizer he has no
superior in any of the Portland churches.
When he undertakes anything there Is
Oio let up until It has been finished, no
matter what the difficulty. This relent
less energy has brought him to death's
door several times. It is thought that the
work of general superintendent, which
will necessitate much traveling and
change, would tend to relieve the strain
of routine work, and hence his friends
are In hopes that he will be selected for
the place. He will return to Portland In
any event, as his time as pastor of the
First Church will not expire till some
time In June.
Change in Pastors.
The changes In several East Side pul
pits have been accomplished. Rev. Rob
ert PJerce. who was appointed regular pas
tor of the Memorial Evangelical Church,
East Eighteenth street, entered on his
work yesterday. He was warmly greet
ed. A large field comes under his super
vision. Besides preaching at Memorial
Church morning and evening, he conducts
services at Harmony Sunday afternoon,
a point near Mount Scott. Then he is
expected to conduct meetings in the
Evangelical Church at Woodstock occa
sionally, although not regularly. But he
says "that he has come to work hard. He
Is a plain preacher of the gospel and full
of enthusiasm. Rev. E. Maurer has been
returned for another year at the First
Evangelical Church. East Sixth street.
His first year was quite successful. Rev.
A J. Smith, who was transferred vfrom
the East to the Oregon Conference and
made a presiding elder for Portland Dis
trict, will reside on the East Side.
Rev. C. C. Poling, D. D.. presiding elder
of Portland District. United Evangelical
church, and president of the La Fayette
College, spent yesterday In the city. In
the morning he conducted services in the
German Mission Church. United Evangel
ical, East Seventh and East Yamhill
streets. In the evening he preached In the
Second Church. Upper Alblna. Dr. Poling
is very much pleased over the course of
events In connection with the La Fayette
College in consolidating with the La
Creole school, as he thinks that It will
mean a strong Institution of learning. Al
ready steps have been taken toward the
erection of a dormitory and for the over
hauling of the buildings for the consoli
dated school.
Rogae River Canneries.
R. D. Hume will operate a pea cannery
In connection with his salmon cannerv on
Rogue River this year. He now has in
course of planting and cultivation 1(
acres of peas, and much of this ground
will be replanted as the first crop Is re
moved, says the Port Orford Tribune. A
schooner-load of machinery for the new
plant arrived In the river last week, and
will be set up In connection with the
salmon cannery, and will necessitate the
erection of a large addition to the can-"
nery building. To get set up and in opera,
tlon in time for the first of this season's
crop will require the greatest effort, but
he feels equal to the emergency, and he
proposes to have one of the most com
plete and thoroughly equipped pea can
neries on the Pacific Coast This In
dustry will afford employment to a large
number of men, women and children.
Mr. Hume has about 1,700,000 young
salmon In his hatchery, and In order to
demonstrate to the United States Fish
Commission that Rogue River Is the
proper point for the Northern California
and Oregon Coast, he wltt fit up a suit
able tank in the tug Katie Cook, and
! distribute some of these fish among the
most important salmon streams, takins
100,009 to the Coqullle. and as many to tha
Klamath River and Coos Bay. Thus It
will be seen that while erylag his owr
ends, his efforts- will result in great bene,
fit to other localities.
EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
It Was Killed In Washington by Be
ing: Tied Up TVltk Prohibition.
PORTLAND. MayS (To the Edltdr.)
I am In receipt today of the following
communication, to which I hereby append
this answer:
Miss M. Lena Morrow: At an Informal
meeting of the several Influential women
citizens of the city, held yesterday at the
parlors of Mrs'. Judge Seneca Smith. It
was voted to ask you. as a representa
tive of the National Woman's Suffrage
Association, to state for tho information
of the public through The Oregonlan, the
past history and the present status of the
enfranchisement and disenfranchlsement
of the -women of Washington. We make
this request because of an editorial whlcn
appeared In The Oregonlan of May 15.
COMMITTEE.
In answer to the above request, I will
state that the women of Washington were
enfranchised by legislative enactment un
der territorial rule on the 23d of Novem
ber. 1SS3. Two subsequent efforts to re
peal the law were made before the ad
mission of the territory as a state, but
these efforts were promptly checkmated,
the first by Congress and the second
through re-enactment by the Legislature.
Meanwhile, the prohibition movement
which had arisen in the East for a
time seemed to attract a good deal of
attention over the Pacific Coast.
The friends of the movement thinking
that woman suffrage would surely bring in
prohibition, urged the suffrage cause as
a means to secure prohibition. Conse
quently, when the territory was about
ready for statehood, the men of the state,
fearing that the equal suffrage movement
was only a tall to the prohibition kite.
Immediately decided that the suffrage
cause must be turned down in Washing
ton. Through some political lntrlguelng
quite equal to that of the recent Senatorial
muddle In Montana, a woman's vote was
refused in a ward In Spokane on purpose
to give her a chance to bring suit In
the territorial court This suit being de
cided against her. was carred o the Su
preme Court of the Unlthd States, wnere
It was purposely held back until the ter
ritory should become a. state. When the
state constitution of Washington was
adopted the clause enfranchising women
under the territorial rule was omitted
in the state constitution. This was done
without the approval of the women of
the state. .. 4-
Equal suffrage was never repealed in
Washington: It was simply killed by po
litical Infamy, of which honorable men
today are ashamed. The question has
been twice submitted to the people of that
state and been voted down. These re
sults, we believe, are not due to the
fact that the majority of Washington
men ate opposed to suffrage, but because
the question has been weighted down with
so many other Issues as to kill It before
It could be born. So long as any people
advocating a minority movement urge
the adoption of the suffrage cause la or
der to strengthen their movement, they
do harm to the suffrage cause. Woman's
right to the ballot Is based upon the same
grounds as that for which It Is claimed
for man, and any claim that she should
have the franchise because she Is going
to do this or that with the ballot Is il
logical and fundamentally wrong. Equal
suffrage has to do with the organic or the
constitutional law of the state, and has
no logical or constitutional relation to
the question of prohibition.
In the four prohibition states In the
Union, women do not vote; In the four
suffrage states of Wybmlng, Colorado.
Utah and Idaho, prohibition does not pre
vail. These fact3 are stated simply on
the actual merits of the case, without any
reference to the merits r or demerits of
the question of prohibition per se.

AFTER CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
Masons of Topelca- to Prosecnte for
Woman' Death.
TOPEKA, Kan., May 20. The Masonic
order of Topeka, particularly the Knights
Templar, are planning to prosecute local
Christian scientists, who, they say, were
responsible for the death of Mrs. John M.
Torrence. Mr. Torrence was, up to the
time of his death, eight months ago, chief
clerk In the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe car service here. He was a leading
Mason. His wife died yesterday from
typhoid fever. She was a Christian Scient
ist and, with the local healers, Teslsted
the demanda of her friends that a phy
sician bo summoned.
Mrs. Whltlock, of Chicago, mother of
Mrs. Torrence, was. It Is asserted, re
fused permission to see her daughter, but
finally entered the sick Toom. Mrs. E. E.
Whitaker, the scientist in charge, said,
testifying at the Coroner's Inquest that
Mrs. Torrence was killed by the shock of
the surprise at seeing her mother, and not
by the lack of medicine. The Coroner's
Jury rendered the following verdict:
"Mrs. J. M. Torrence came to her death
by peritonitis (general), caused by perfora
tion of the Intestines, due to typhoid
fever. The case was under Christian
Scientist managemtnt, and had no medi
cal care or treatment and. In our opinion,
she did not have Intelligent care, which
would give her any possible chance for
recovery."
State Seal Doesn't Conform to Lavr.
In a recent letter to the Corvallls camp
of Native Daughters, Secretary of State
Dunbar made the following statement:
"As nearly as I can ascertain, there
have been in use in the office two ssals,
impressions of which. I herewith Inclose.
No. 1 Is an impression from an old seal
no longer used, and o. z Is from, tho
seal at present affixed to all official doc
uments requiring the seal of state. You
will notice, by comparing these impres
sions with the description authorized by
section 2231, that they do not correspond,
and therefore the seal In use Is not In
conformity with the law. While person
ally aware of this fact, owing to the
number of years the seal has been In us?,
I have not deemed It best to change It or
have another one mdde which will com
ply with the requirements of the law, but
Intend to submit the matter to the next
Legislature."

BEGINNING TO WAKE UP
POLrriCAL CAMPAIGN SHOWS SIGXS
OF ACTrVTTY.
Faslonista Endeavoring ta Areas e
Enthnslasm Dates ef Be-
pabllcas. Meetings.
The political campaign, which has been
apathetic throughout the state so far, is
now showing signs of activity, and It
seems will have considerable life during
this week and the next. The Fuslonlsts
are endeavoring to arouse enthusiasm by
bringing General J. B. Weaver and
"Cyclone" Davis Into different counties,
but It is probable their efforts will be
offset by the Mldd!e-of-the-Roaders, How
ard of Alabama and Osborne of Georgia,
who are to begin speaking tonight at
Baker City, and after visiting different
points m Baker and Union Counties, will
be at The Dalles Thursday, the 24th; at
Portland, Friday, the 25th. and in Clacka
mas County Saturday, tho 26th. The fol
lowing week they will devote to the Wil
lamette Valley and Southern Oregon.
The Bryan Democrats seem, not to be
contemplating a vigorous speaking cam
paign, and apparently will rely on work
of the still-hunt order. No announcements
have been made for rallies or big meet
ings in the First Congressional District,
and seemingly the pace set by Dr. Daly
a very quiet and easy pace is to be cau
tiously followed. In the Second Congres
sional District Mr. Smith is showings soma
signs of earnest effort to overcome
Moody's big majority, but there are no In
dications that the latter's vote will be at
all curtailed.
The Republicans will do considerable
work on the stump this week, and next
week there will be much more. Meetings
are down as follows on the State Central
Committee's books for the present week:
Monday, May 21 Charles W. Fulton, at
Salem; Tllmon Ford, at Roseburg; Wal
lace McCamant, at Union; Judge M. L.
Pipes, at Hood River.
Tuesday, May 22 S. M. Yoran, at Arling
ton; Judge M. L. Pipes, at The Dalles!;
Charles B, Moores, at Marahfield; Wallace
McCamant, at Portland.
Wednesday, May 23 George C. Brownell,
at Oswego; Charles B. Moores, at Co
qullle City; Judge M. L. Pipes, at Port
land; S. M. Yoran, at Rufus.
Thursday, May 24 C. W. Fulton, at Oak
land; C. B. Moores, at Myrtle Point;
Judge M. L. Pipes, at Forest Grove; S. M.
Yoran, at Wasco In the afternoon, and
Moro In the evening.
Friday, May 25 Wallace McCamant, at
Dufur; James B. Eddy, at Beaver; S. M.
Yoran, at Grass Valley; C W. Fulton, at
Oswego: Charles B. Moores, at Bandon.
Saturday, May 2S Governor T. T. Geer,
at Eugene; Wallace McCamant, at Ante
lope, James B. Eddy, at Tillamook; C. W.
Fulton, at Clackamas; G. C. Brownell. at
Pleasant Hill; C B. Moores, in coos
County; S. M. Yoran, In Gilliam County.
Aside from these, numerous meetings
will be held In the different counties under
arrangemsnts by the various county cen
tral committees.
The Republican State Central Committee
already has mary dates booked for the
last week of the campaign, and expects to
have the number largely Increased In the
next few days.
Hon. R. G. Smith, of Grant's Pass, can
vassed Lane County last week, to the
great satisfaction of the Republicans, and
will speak at various places In Douglas
County the present week.
Fred W. Mulkey returned to Portland
yesterday, after a successful week's cam
paigning In Gilliam County.
Scandinavian Rally.
A Republican rally. Intended to be the
grandest affair of the kind during the
campaign, will be held at Arlon Hall,
corner of Second and Oak street next
Saturday evening. It will be under the
auspices of the Scandinavian Republican
Club and the Republican party. Music
will be provided by a military band, and
the well-known singer. Madam Norelli,
will entertain the audience with various
selections. The Oregon Quartet and the
Norwegian double quartet will also sing,
and General Beebe, H. . Rowe, D. Soils
Cohen, J. M. Long, Gustav Anderson and
others will address the meeting. A cor

and gentlemen.
FERTILIZE AND SPRAY.
One Man's Advice to the Hopgrovrers
of Oregon.
PORTLAND. May 19. (To the Editor.)
We have about completed a very unsatis
factory hop year, and are now turning
our attention to another crop, with some
misgivings as to results. Many plans
are advanced for lmnrovlng conditions.
First It was proposed to compel the
brewer to use more hops; but as this plan
seemed Impracticable, It Is now proposed
to curtaU the supply. In the writer's
opinion neither of these plans can suc
ceed, for the reason that the first plan
has frequently been tried without success,
as It is not founded on reason, and the
latter plan is founded on sentiment, and
does not appeal to the business judgment
of a large enough proportion of producers
to be effective. Survival of the fittest
In hops, as well as In all other commo
dities, will be the final result In this
'lies our hope.
That this Is a natural hop country has
been proven beyoqd question, for all will
agree that we can produce them at a
much lower cost than other sections. This
being admitted, the only thing necessary
to succpss Is to produce the quality de
sired. This Is the vital point, and is the
key to the whole situation, for the reason
that as we can raise our hops for 7
cents per pound, where It costs New York
growers 11, and English 16 cents. It Is evi
dent that If we can raise as good a qual
ity as they, we will crowd them out, and
this Is what we are gradually doing.
It Is not pleasant to admit that we can
obtain success only through the misfor
tunes of others; but If we have the best
and cheapestproducing state. It Is one of
the inexorable laws of trade that the oth
ers will gradually be forced out of the
trade. But we must in order to succeed,
produce what is called for; and this we
are not doing. What do our hops lack In
quality to meet the demand? They are
picked while In an immature state, or
they are moldy, or both. These are the
principal evils, and In order to remedy
them we must resort to spraying, so that
the crop" may be allowed to hang untU
filled, and then be picked comparatively
free from mold. It will be contended that
this experiment has been tried without
success, but an Investigation will usually
develop the fact that the spraying was
improperly done. Our neighbor state has
come to recognize spraying as a necessity,
and as a result has put on the market a
crop nearly free from mold, although last
season was a bad one for both lice and
mold. But the spraying must be done
thoroughly, not by soaking a handful of
chips In a barrel of water, but rather by
making a strong emulsion of quassia chips
and soap. If this Is properly done, the
crop will come down ""well matured, filled
with lupulln and weighing 14 pounds per
box. Instead of a half-filled hop, which
cures down to 10 pounds per box, and
one which no buyer wants. The subject
of cultivation offers grounds for discussion
and experiment My own observations
are that frequent cultivation early are al
ways successful, and that late Summer
cultivation Is not what we want, as It will
start a growth of vine and core of strobile
in case of early Autumn rains, when the
hop fruit should be filling and maturing.
Some growers express surprise that the
old yard does not produce as It formerly
did. It Is singular that S4 pounds of
nitrogen, 53 pounds of potash and 23
pounds of phosphoric acid cannot be taken
from an acre of ground each year without
returning anything; but older countries
find it impossible, and so have we; at
least some of the growers have, and have
fertilized their grounds with commercial
fertilizers, with the result of an Increased
yield of 00 pounds of cured hops per acre
on an expenditure of $S for these ingredi
ents. Try a few hills, and you will be
convinced of the profit
No doubt there will always be hops of
Inferior quality, but not many If they are
thoroughly cultivated, sprayed and al
lowed to stand until ripe. We wlU then
have a crop that every buyer wants, and
we shall have none too many. England
has acquired such a taste for American
hops that last season, when sne produced
more than her own requirements, sna
used over 60,000 bales of our hops, and the
year before over 100,000 bales. Our own
consumption is Increasing rapidly, being
about 200,000 bales; and Japan, China and
Australia are Just beginning to use our
hops, and bid fair to be considerable cus
tomers. The American yield Is about
220,000 bales, with a good crop; our Im
ports are 50C0 German bales, equal to
10,000 American bales, so there does not
seem to be much surplus. In fact there
Is none. But there Is a surplus of the
kind we have on hand, and there always
will be so long as we have a poor qual
ity. A number of years ago our markets
were overstocked with soap grease mas
querading under the name of butter,
while California supplied most of our
good trade; but now we have learned how
to make first-class butter, and are ship
ping It to other states in carload lots. It
Is possible to make the same Improve
ment in hops.
With all deference to the conscientious
efforts of hop associations to grapple
with the supply and demand situation. It
certainly seems clear that their field for
actual usefulness and great benefit lies
In the direction here suggested.
