THE MORXIG ORG(mA, THURSDAY,. JUXE 15, 1905. QWERS 9F HOPS FORM COMBINE First Step in the Movement Taken in Independ- . ence District. ENTHUSIASM OF FARMERS Oregon Crop of ino. Will Be Tied Up Boforc It Is Picked. Campaign Against Short Sellers Inaugurated. INDEPENDENCE. Or.. Jtwe 14. (Spe- clal.) A movp for the formation of a corporation controlling the hops of Ore gon was net on foot here this afternoon. At the Instance of Conrad Krebs, who has been devoting much of his time to fight ing the hop bears and short sellers, a number of growers of the Independence district met and after discussing the situation decided that the only apparent way for the growers to protect themselves against -short sellers and commission men generally was to form a corporation of growers. Accordingly, those present signed, up agreeing to tutfi their IPO crop over to the proposed corporation and papers are now out securing the signature of thaw not present. Growers generally arc signing and Mr. Krebs said this evening ho was assured that prac tically all growers in the Independence district who arc not dealers will sign tip. This- Is the Initial move toward ty ing up the 1905 crop. Judging from the favor the proposal meets with here in the midst of the big hop fields of" the tate. It will bo a suc cess. The growers consider that they must take some such action to protect themselves from the depreciating effect of short sellers, who, It is claimed, have already engaged large quantities of this year's crop. Tho plan of the growers of which the. movement here today is but the actual start is to give every grower in the state, doalers excepted, an oppor tunity to Join the corporation. Satur day afternoon a meeting will be held at SL Paul, Marion County, for the growers of that district. Including the Fairfield and Champoeg neighborhoods. This will he followed up by meetings in every hop growing district of tho state. At Salem between July 10 and 15 a general meeting Is to held, at which time the corpora tion papers are to be perfected and the crops all turned over as per agreement. "Yes, tho movement will succeed." said Conrad Krebs this evening, "else all growers will go to h 1 togothor. Some thing must be done to prevent the bears from ruining the hop industry of Oregon. But we will not fail. "If other districts give the same sup port as the Independence district, the most gigantic corporation ever formed controlling a farm product will be brought into existence. Instead of short sellers regulating the hop market, a corporation of hopgrowers themselves will regulate it. In other words, hopgrowers will be come the morchants selling their product to the consumer at home or on tho mar ket abroad. They will thereby save 2 to 4 cents a pound as commission. The hop crop Is a great wealth producer for Ore gon and a great blessing to many families, and every business man should use his influence to Induce growers of his ac quaintance to assist in any move that will prevent the destruction of an indus try tho bears would force. The situation ha resolved itself into . a question of whether or not short sellers and boar trust shall put the growers out of busi ness or the growors shall put the short sellers out of businoss.

(SpeeiaL) James Siattcry. of Portland, who had been lost in the woods for 4S hours, almost dead with hunger, wandered Into Seaside tonight at 7 o'clock.

Cartwright, -of Portland. Slattery aided in trying to locate some corners on the Holiday estate of timber. Tho timber and underbrush were very dense and as" the day was dark and cloudy, it was difficult for the party to keep their boarings. When it came time to return home a dispute arose as to the way back to Seaside. Judge Carey and Mr. Carwrlght selected one route and Slattery another. Judge Carey and Cartwright found their way to Seaside without trouble, but Slat tery. who had his dog for a companion, failed to appear. Since Monday evening between 60 and 100 people nave been boat ing the brush and searching the woods for Slattery. He will not forget his ex perience for some time to come. After finding that he was lost and suffering from the pangs of hunger, Slattery made a meal of berries. While he was eating the berries his dog caught a small cub bear. Tho lost man realized the danger of having the cub bear around when its mother would discover his whereabouts, and fparing that he would be attacked he drove tho dog away from him. The dog, when he found that his company was not wanted, wandered Into SeasWe at 1 o'clock Monday evening. It was the ap pearance of Slattory'f dog that made the members of the searching party fear that Slattery had met with an aooidont. Slattery was formerly employed at the Cascade Locks and later as a watchman at the Postoffice. He is woil known in Portland. State Mineralogist Charges Frnndn. SAN FRANCISCO, June J4.
