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:

SHORTAGE IN PODK COUNTY
Estimates of Growers Point to a
Two-Thirds Crop.
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

. - . ..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.

ROSEBURG, Or.. Aug. 20. (Special.)

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.

J05 bells tolled once again at the
Vaughn-street grounds, for those
GlaHts of ours woke up from their
recent sleep and landed a 1 to 2 upper
cut on those seals. 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.

BALL TEAMS ABE BUNCHED
TACOMA AND PORTLAND LEAD
WITH LOS ANGELES LAST.
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. Anything to beat
California anyway, to come on there, you

The Brainerd Maroons, of Portland, won
