'.'.'.11,2501 Estlmate(i, Based upon reports received from Ore gonian correspondents in the hop produc ing: counties of the state, it is estimated that the 1905 hop crop of Oregon will amount to 86,860 balos. This estimate is based on the present condition of the jards. Unfavorable weather between now and the time of picking: may reduce the output. It Is an exceedingly difficult matter to collect accurate estimates in a matter of this kind, as the correspond ent's informant is often biased in his views, but particular pains were taken this year to secure the information from reliable growers, and it is bollevc-d that the figures given below are not far from right in the aggregate. Even the most sanguine men in the hop trade do not deny that the crop this year hag been damaged by the long drought and Insect pests, but opinions differ widely as to the amount of damage done. It is to be re gretted that Oregon has not produced a crop in keeping with the extensive acre age, but the state is still far ahead of erry other in the matter of hop produc tion, and will probably long rank as the leading hop state of the Union. The following table gives the estimated hop production in bales this year by counties, as compared with the 190J crop: 1005. 1091.

INDEPENDENCE. Aug. -20. (Spe cial.) The nearer the approach of hop harvest, the more fully do growers of the Independence district realize the lightness of their crop. In most yards the yield will be what Is called a top crop that is, the hops are all on the tops of the poles or extreme ends of the vines, while the hanging arms and laterals bear scarcely any hops at all. The lightness of the crop Is due prin cipalis' to the continued dry weather the effect of which is particularly no ticeable on yards not thoroughly cul tivated. Early in the season, lice appeared in alarming quantities, but sprayers were set vigorously to work, which, fol lowed by sunshine, had the offect of driving out the pest before much dam age was done. Wherever a loaf was punctured by vermin, however, a drain on the life of the vine was formed, which, in view of the drought follow ing, had its effect, however small. The burs are now formed, and pre sent a healthy appearance and will af ford clean picking this year, though It will be found that not nearly so many pounds can be picked from an acre as was promised four weeks ago. The estimate in shortage on aocount of the drought varies all the way from one-fifth to a third, and a few growers maintain that the crop will be SO per cent short. George Rose, who has a fine yard across the river opposite Independence, has been until lately counting on 1700 bales. After looking over his yard this week he d6"es not expect over 1400 bales. D. B. Taylor, who has a yard here and another in Kenton County, estimates the shortage at 33 1-3 to 50 per cent. Conrad Krebs, who has a 400-acre yard here and a smaller one. at Brooks, estimates that the shortage caused by the dry weather will offset the increased acreage, making the. yield of the district about the same as last year. R. D. Cooper counts on very little shortage in his yard. C. A. Mc Laughlin, who has cliarge of the Hirschberg yards, estimates the short age at 38 1-2 per cent. The Horst brothers' yard, 440 acres, is very prom ising, In fact more so than at this time last year. Hill brothers estimate the shortage at 20 per cent and Walker brothers at 25. The W. XV. "Porcivall yard promises a yield of 1S00 to 2000 pounds por acre. M. M. Perterfield es timates his shortage 25 to 331-3 per cent. Tom Fennell and Oliver Jones each expect a shortage of 20 per cent, and the Damon yards will be about the same. GOOD CROP IN MARION COUNTY Yield This Year Will Show an In crease of 12 1-2 Per Cent. SALEM, Aug. 20. (Special.) In both quality and quantlts. the Marlon County hop crop Is vers promising at the present time. Growers from noarls evors dis trict report that conditions have improv ed wonderfully In the last two or three weeks and several who thought they would have vers light s'ields and who were discouraged 'over the outlook are now entirely satisfied.. Though there are some lice in nearly all yards, growers my that there is now no apparent injurs to the quallts from this source. Many growers bring in reports of light crops, attributed to drought or some other cause, but it is a noteworths fact that the growers who bring the reports ex pect good s'ields themselves. Almost ln varlabls It Is some other man's s'ard that is in poor condition and the grower who does not expect as good a yield as last 3ear is not often found. m Estimates by unprejudiced men who are in a position to judge, vars as to the quantits of. the hop crop in Marlon County this s'ear. As a matter of fact, there Is onls one man In the counts who has gathered accurate Information as to the size of a hop crop In this counts. J. R. Linn, a grower and dealer, made an extended investigation upon this sub- ject this Summer. He ascertained from transportation companies the exact quantity of hops shipped out of the county. From this he deducted a number of lots that were grown in Polk counts, but were shipped from Salem, and added several lots that were grown in Marion County, but shipped from Independence. He also secured an accurate list of all the hops held within the county and took these into the computation. He spared no time nor pains in getting accurate In formation for the flguros were to be used in connection with the Marion County exhibit at the Lcv.is and Clark Fair. His conclusion was that the hop crop of 1991 in Marion County was 33,650 bales. The estimate of men who have examined the growing crop are that present conditions Indicate a yield from 10 to 15 per cent greater than last year. If an average of the estimates be taken, Marion wfll have an increase of 124 per cent or a total yield of 37,850 bales In 1903. Mr. Linn says that his Investigation this Summer taught him that "guesf work" estimates of the hop crop of a countj are unreliable,, for the reason that in mans' districts hops are grown in one counts, but are comnierclalls tributary to another, and in statistics compiled bj different persons they may be credited to the wrong counts or counted twice or not at all, according to the method pur sued. While it would be an easy matter to ascertain the hop crop of the state as a whole, he found that it took a groat deal of work to ascertain what part of the total was given in Marion Counts. IN WASHINGTON COUNTY. Hop Crop This Year Will Be About Equal to That of 1904. HILLSBORO.-Or.. Aug. 30. (Special.) Well-posted hopgrowers of Washington County estimate that the crop this year will about equal that of last year. There is much new acreage, but damage to the old sards has offset this increase. The production of the several distriots of the county is estimated as follows: Hillsboro. 3000 bales; Forest Grove. SW bales; Laurel, 500 bales; Sherwood, 2000 bales; Tualatin. 1000 bales, or a total of GOOO bales for the county. Some of the new yards, particularls the big Witch Hazel sard, are looking fine. Lice were killed vers generally bs the recent hot weather, but the effect of the dry spell is to be seen in mans 5'ards. CLACKA3IAS CROP IS SHORT Dry .Weather During July Did Ex tensive Damage to Vines. OREGON CITY, Or.. Aug. (Special.) Conservative growers estimate that the Clackamas Counts hop crop this 3'ear will not exceed three-fourths of an average crop. The extreme drs weather during July did extensive damage to the growing vines, in that many of the runners were scorched so bad's that thes are fruitless. In addition to the drouth, lice operated with more or less disastrous results in mans S'ards. There is also some com plaint because of missing hills, but these are no more frequent this soar than other seasons. In the planting of a great many new S'ards, however, the hop acreage of this counts has been Increased from 50 to 7 per cent during the year. But as these S'ards will not yield this season, the esti mate as to the year's crop is based on the old s'ards, which are not showing up vers encouragingls'. AVERAGE YIELD IN LANE. Crop Would Have Been Enormous Had Ordinary Weather Prevailed. EUGENE!, Or.. Aug. 20. (SpedaL)-Ac-cordlng to the best Information obtain able, the yield of hops in Lane Counts this year will be fulls up to the avorage, while some growers predict the harvest will show an Increase of fulls 500 bales. The yield le estimated at from 7003 -to 7P3 bales. The s'ield In some s'ards will be a little short, owing to the unfavorable weather in the early Spring and the un usually dry Summer, but this shortage is believed to be more than made up bs the increased acreage. A few growers are gloomy over the prospects, fearing the dry weather is having a bad effect, but noarly all the large growers have exer cised more than ordinary caution in car ing, for the s'ards. and some have re sorted to irrigation. The general verdict is, had the ordinary weather conditions prevailed, the crop In Lane Coufity would have been enormous and exceeded any previous yield. Vermin made an appoarance in the earls' Summer, but all growers sprayed thoroughls' several times and entire's' de stros'ed them. At the present time, pros pects for an abundant harvest and excel lent product are very flattering. All now depends on the weather conditions from now until the crop is harvested. DROUGHT DAMAGE IN BENTON Hop Crop Will Not Equal Yield of Last Year. CORVALLIS, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) The. late hot weather has done some damage to the hop crop, though the s'ield will not "be greatly diminished. The river S'ards, which are always the heaviest producers, have scarcely suffered at all. and by reason of freedom from Hce and mold, the percentage of hops saved will be larger than Is usual. Among these are the Lilly and Osburn yards, la each of which the crop 1b as good and the yieio. expected to oe as large as that of last year. In the case of the upland yards, the prospect is not so good. The estimate is that the Whltaker yard will not yield more than a half a crop. The Philomath yards are also reduced as to S'ield, but not in so great a percentage as the Whltaker S'ard. It is calculated by a well-informed grower that the crop of this vicinity will aggregate 1100 to 14C0 bales. LARGER YAMHILL ACREAGE With Fair Weather the Yield Per Acre May Exceed Least Year's. McMINNVILLE, Or., Aug. 2a (Spe cial.) The prospect for a good hop crop fair weather, the S'ield per acre will oquaUa if not exceed, thnt- rf Incf miir XCaritr5! . - . ..U4J first, time increase the acreage about 231 per cent ana win swell tine total jield of last S'ear accordingly. Drought and lice have damaged the lower arms to some extent, 'but most growers think the upper crop heaw enough to. more than offset the damage done lowor, vines. The quallts of the hop is excellent.' BRIGHT OUTLOOK IN LINN. Crop Will Exceed Tliat of Last Year by About 200 Bales. ALBANY. Or.. Aug. 20. (Speclal.)-Llnn County will turn out a first-class hop crop this year. With, all the talk of damage by drought and Vermin in other counties of Oregon, hopgrowers in Linn County state that the damage from these sources is vers small in their yards this year. True it is that here and there will be found a hopsard that has been damaged somewhat bs lice and by the drouth, but other s'ards are In such unusually good condition as to make the outlook in the counts vers bright in the aggregate. The neighborhoods of JJbany. Harris burg, Brownsville. Lebanon and Scio are the hop districts of Linn Counts. From these localities comes the report that, with continued favorable weather condi tions, the crop will be larger than last year, practically free from vermin, and of excellent quality. Last s'ear the entire J output of aAmi Counts hopsards was less . than 2000 bales. This year a -conservative estimate places the yield at 5200 bales. The drought of the past several weeks has dried up some hops on the arms of the vines, and close to the ground, out it seemingly has not affected the burrs on the body of the vine. A rain two weeks ago would have Increased the crop bs de veloping the small hops on the arms, but such a rain would do no good now. Hops are so far advanced that now even damp weather would not cause damage from lice. The Linn County crop of hops mas be safels placed as above the average for a county that is a small producer of hops. IN THE ROGUE RIVER VALLEY Twenty Per Cent Shortage in Jose phine County Is Estimated. fiRAKTS PASS. Or.. Auc. 20. (Special.) The hop outlook for Southern Oregon Is not so encouraging as It was this time a S'ear ago. A few yards will have a nor mal s'ield, but most s'ards will be snort, some 40 per cent. A careful estimate of the sards will place the yield at about 38 per cent below the average. This short ago is due to the ravages of the lice dur ing an unusualls cold spell In June and to the excessively drs Winter and Sum mer, which rendered the ground so drs that the hop growth has been retarded except in sards under irrigation. With the, warm, dry weather that set in the last of June, the lice disappeared, and with the thorough cultivation that the yards have had, the hops rallied, and though not getting as many con as as usual, those on the vines have made a good growth, and tie quallts promises to be first-class. The acreage to hops in Rogue River Valley amounts to S acres, of which 607 are old s'ards, and IPG acres of this year's planting. The largest yard is that of John Ranyaji, 100 acres, and .the largest new planting was 42 acres, byVEnglteh, Burrow & Jewell. More than half the acreage of the new s'ards is under irrigation, and will produce rom 200 to 500 pounds to the acre. About half the yards are irrigated, some by ditches and gravity system, and some by gasoline pumps. The short crops will be in the drs S'ards this season, and Irrigation has been so beneficial that within the next two s'ears every S'ard in the valley- will be supplied with water, either by ditch or "ump. Picking wljl serin about September 1, though a few s'ards may begin the Mon das preceding. DOUGLAS COUNTY YIELD. Crop an Average One and Quality Will Be Good. ROSEBURG, Or.. Aug. 20. (Special.) The s'ield of hops in Douglas Counts this S'ear is conservative's estimated at S4.C01 pounds, which Is a full average output. The crop Is in excellent condition, hav ing been kept practically free from ver- j mm os tne unusuauy tong period oi warm weather. GROWERS FORM ASSOCIATION Woodburn Hop Producers Organize and Unite Upon Scale. WOODBURN. Aug. 20. (Special.) A large and representative meeting of hopgrowers of this section was held in Woodburn sesterdas. The" 150 hopgrowers present formed the Willamette Valley Hopgrowers' Association. John Kenneds' was elect ed president; Captain George Pope, socretars; Francis Feller, treasurer. The meeting was caleld to order by Captain George Pope, who addressed it as follows: "On the suggestion of our friend. Mr. Charles McCormlck. I will state the object of this meeting in as few wordn as possible. You all know without me telling you that the hopgrowing in dustrs has assumed large proportions in Oregon. Not onls to us as growers is it of vast importance, but to the whole state at large. While nature has done much for us, we ourselves have not done all we could to bring our product to that high standard it should have and which the commercial Inter ests of the world demand. As I view the situation, there are two factors that stand out in bold re lief, -as it were, which have given Ore gon hops a black eye, both in our home market and abroad. These are, first, dirts picking and poor baling: and, second, it is claimed (mind, I don't say it is so) that our hops are carrying a high percentage of arsenic. As regards the first complaint, we all know how much we have to contond with. It therefore behooves us to see to it and to agree with one another, that we insist on pickers doing bs us as we do by them, if we pas a good price for picking, we should receive the value of that price. "As to that sulphur, scare, I am not at all sure about this arsenical black eye. The report came from England, and I have not s'et been able to get at the bottom of the facts. But I will, in due course, and when I do I will let 5ou know- There is one thing that we car do and that is to insist upon vendors of sulphur giving us a guar antee for the stuff thes sell, and if wc discover some unscrupulous importer in Portland or elsewhere is selling dan gerous sulphur which is liable to not onls damage our hops, but also our evaporated fruit, I will pledge you lmy word that enough men will be found in this valley who will compel the Food Commissioner to bring him into court and answer for his deeds. It was the sense of the meeting that hops be picked by weight only; that the price of picking be Jl per 168 pounds, and that all insist on clean picking. The secretary was Instructed to open correspondence with the distribu ting centers of the ,hop .trade and to keep the members informed, and to report progress everj Saturday during the hop soason. Saturday of each week was established as a special market das. LET BOYS PLAY FOB MONEY Dr Roller Says 'Professionalism Is No Bar In College. SEATTLE. Aug. 20. (Special.) A student has as much right to make his was through college by plas'ing Sum mer bull or engaging in other seml- profosslonal pursuits as he has to carry the hod. sell papers or dust the books In the library. This is the principle Dr. Roller, physical director In tho University of Washington promulgated after his return from Alaska, and it is a doctrine that mas: be tentatively sug gested to other universities of the Northwest. "So long as a student is honestly in college to obtain an education; keeps up his scholarship work and is not paid for attendance or supported bs the In stitution.' sas's Dr. Roller, "he is en titled to take part in athletic contests in which his college is interested." This doctrine primarily affocts the fight being wagod by some of the East ern schools against Summer ball and might have a most important bearing upon Northwestern college Bports. Car ried out as Dr. Roller suggests, -it leaves to the athletic committee of the facults and the student body of each university the right to pass upon the qualifications of its own athletes. Be hoind the .assertion that studies are kept up. no protesting college could investigate. The bold position assumed by Dr.' .Roller is filled with .rtgnifl oanee and his views "have a deep interest.

It was a fitting farewell to Uncle Hank Harris pet per formers, for they had knocked us down three straights and up until Eddie Householder biffed the ball to deep right field and Waldron's double filp-fiap which, by the way, had no more right on the programme than the oration which J. Ira (Slats) Davis made be fore The permitted the game to com mence, befell the lot of the locals, it looked as If thes were going to annex the closing kirmlsh. It was Ely Cates. . the little man from the land of cscloncs, who put on the brakes. He threw enough sand on the slippery way that the Seals had made smooth, to make their bingllng flippers almost useless nt least when it came to registering votes. Danns Shea and Hildebrand remember this name, for there's more to be mentioned about it later both got In tho way of a couple of Cates' cork-screw bend ers, but aside from this Ely was as steady as grandfather's clock on the old famlls staircase. Even when the formidable Nealon, whose buss clouts had won no less than two of the games out of the s'ories. faced him, Cates bent them over unafraid. Slats" Davis a Bad Orator, y There was a splendid Sunday crowd on hand to enjos the sport and the ma Jorlts of them, who were within sounJ of Umpire Davis voice are still won dering why he unbosomed himself of an oration. Just what "Slats' said does not matter, why he said it and how he said It. It is perhaps well that no extra admission was oharged to hear it, for Davis Is a bum orator. His voico has a clutch in the middle regisVor and sounds like the hinge of his me dulla oblongata. wa rusty and that his pIptKS needed the attention of a plumber. So far as known no one had ever denied Davis the right to um pire a game according to the rules and regulations set down by the man who made the rules. Those .who paid their mones sesterday were not called In convention to change the rules thes were on hand to see a ball game they got what they went there to see, so let's pass up Davis' oration and say that It. was ill-timed and uncalled for. Pitchers Battle After First Inning. Of the game Itself there isn't much to teii. All the was through it was a corking good game, until the Seals began booting and falling to clutch the ball. Waldron, the first man to face Cates, whanged the ball for a single. heeler bunted and Cates mlscued when he tried to morgue Waldron at second. Hildebrand failed to help matters much, but Irwin's long clout to lert field scored the lone run. Af ter this the matinee settled down to a pitchers battle. The Seals several times made use of their flippers and wire there was a run knocking at the door. But Cates nad the big key and the rest of the Giants held the others, so there was nothing for Master McCIellan, from Roseburg, to do, but to ring the bell twice for Portland. In the fifth Inning Cates was the hinge of a double plas. Jimmy W halen stung the ball for a single. Waldron came along and walloped one also, but Instead of sliding clear of the Giant grabbers. It caressed Cates mitt, and before Whalen could get back on the siding at first, the double was completed. Householder and Catcs Found It. Eddie Householder and Cates were the only two Giants who could locate what Whalen had to offer. Jimmy's salary wing was working Jike a well oiled semaphore. His curves and speed were dizzying and dazzling to the Giants. In the fourth inning. House holder spanked the Spalding. It was clearls good for two bases, but when Waldron took his upset in the ditch near the fence, it was good for three stations. Mitchell skied to Irwin and the frenzied crowd had hit amidrift. Thes had howled their colective head off because Eddie's binglet was the first garnered off Whalen and they were pulling for the run. It came home all right, but it was a tight squeeze. Schlafly fluked to Whalen. He relas'ed It to Danns Shea, but when he came to plater it on the elusive Edward, he missed tne mark and Davis waved him safe. This tied the pro ceedings and the faithful had to wait for the seventh inning for the big thing. This is where Hildebrand shines, or flickers, just ax you will. Ans old time that Hilde misses the kind he did yes terday it is to laugh. 'In this notable canto, with one down. McLean leaned against one that dropped back to short stop. Hildebrand had his lamps glued on the descending prize and did an "ad vance - stunt that was beautiful to watch, even If It breathed destruction to the hopes of the faithful. His face was wreathed, with emiles as the ball was ten feet above him and he stuck up his hands to pinch the ball. It looked easy for Hildebrand to get It, but it was easier for a strange com bination to cause him to make a miscue of It, and the big catcher was safe. Fleming's death was ease In Wheeler's hands. Hoffman, whose antipaths for sliding loomed up and was as painful as a sore toe not Charles Irwin's hit to Gochnauer and a second miscue tnat saved McLean's life followed. Now It was up to Cates. He won his own game with a drive that slid past short and McLean romped home with the winning run. There was set a whole GUI lnlng for the Seals to get buss, but Cates, after winning the game, refused to hand it back. Here's the score: PORTLAjTX AB. B. IBrPO. A. E.

San Francisco, Oakland and Seattle Are Tied for Second Place, Just Ahead of Los Angeles. One of the prettiest league battles in the history of the game on the Coast is on just now. From fourth place yester day morning, Portland, bs winning one game and the Tigers by losing two to Oakland, is tied for first place with Ta coma; Los Angeles has taken Seattle down the line, and now the Slwashes. San Francisco and Oakland are Jtanglns to second place, and the Loo Loos are onls two games behind them. It is rather a pity that Seattle coukl not retain its hold on the top of the ladder, for if there is a baseball town In the league that desepves to have a team that is fighting for the leadership, it is Seattle, for the men behind the club have spent a small fortune to keep the game going. Natural's. It Is to he hoped that the Giants will again, now that thes are within an es'elash of the top of the heap, take a commanding lead and stas there. If Portland can't stand on the dizzy heights, then let's hope It Is Seattle. Tacoma does not deserve ans considera tion, for the place has failed to support one of tha-bst all-around baseball or ganizations in atis minor "league in the business. Ans other team but the Tigers would get disgusted with a town like Ta coma. and fall to care whether thes played winning ball or not. This team, how ever. Is playing baseball for Mique Fisher and Charles Graham, and ans time it Is in uniform it Is playing to win. After passing a bouquet to Seattle, the following Is printed to show how matters stand in Seattle: But we have got to hand It to Portland for one thing, and that Is that they're playlrifc bang-up ball at the present writing. When that team gets together they are capable of burning holes In anybody's track, and It begins to look as though MeCredle's hard luck was a thing of the dim and misty. Portland has always supported a losing team nicely and with a winner the gate receipts ought to look like a national bank before the season cries quits.
