12 THE MORNING OREGONIAy. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1905. YIELD OF HOPS DiWOIMG Quality Is Very Good but, in Quantity, Oregon Crop Will -Be. Below Average. NEWS FROM EARLY YARDS tTcrriblc Floods Bring Disaster to Many English Plantations New York Said to Have Lightest Output on Record. The hard rain of the last 24 hours Iwut net damaged the hop crop, but has been of some benefit In cleaning the hops. A few duys more of rain might cue no more hnnoyance than to de Jay picking, but a week or ten days of wet weather would be a serious matter. Hop-picking is now under way in most of the Wg yards up the Valley, and noth ing is heard but crop talk. Neither buy ers nor sellers are willing to talk business at ttata time. A letter from Eugene says the growers there expect a 20-cent mar ket, and from all that can be learned, the same feeling prevails in other sections. Another report .cecolved from Sllverton yesterday showed poor results at some of the yards around there. Cord Houghman, of Mount Angel, finished picking, and has 31 bates, against 64 bales last season. G. 1). Bowen, of Silverton. has 30 bales, agalnflt U last year. Charles Hartman, of Scott's Mill!, had 200 bales In 1903, 100 batee in 3004. and will have no more this season than last on 40 acres. M. Skalle, of Silverton. had WOO pounds last season, and will have 0009 pounds this year. Many other yards are coming down equal to last year. Third to a Half Short, The foreman of the Nichols yard of 40 acres, near Oregon City, yesterday said that yard -would be one-third to one-half short of laat year. The Rlsley yard of 20 acres, this side of the Nichols place, re ports that It will not have over one-half of last year's crop, and probably not that. Weather Bureau Ileports. The following reports on hopplcklng, aa made by correspondents of the Weather Bureau, are from the Weekly Bulletin ipsuod yesterday: Woodburn, Clackamas County, George (Pope. The continued dry weather has matured hops rapidly, picking is In prog ress, the condition of the crop is splen did, but the yield falls short of expec tation; a total absence of vermin and moM up to date is producing a Very fine quality of hops; the smaller plantations will flnteh picking this week and the Iwger yards In from eight to ton days. Gervals, Marion County, Scott Jones. Picking hops has begun In many yards; other yards begin this week. Pedee, Polk County, C. W. Pagett. Hopplcklng general, crop in very clean condition and of good quality, yield will be below that of average crops; new acreage yield wfll be very light. Dayton. Yamhill County, J. H. Moore. The weather for the week has been warm and favorable- for the harvesting of the hop crop, picking in the yards in this locality is genc-al, the yield so far has been disappointing, the hops are unusu ally small and light, the yield will be below last year. Brownsville, Linn County, Poter Hume. Continued warm and dry weather; hop picking now In progress, some yards well advanced, yield below average, quality jMlme, being dried under most favorable conditions; another week of good weather will nearly finish the work. Stephens, Douglas County, C. D. Smith. Hopplcklng begun, crop very good. Williams, Josephine County, H. H. Sparlin. Hopplcklng well under way, pome yards will finish this week if the weather does not change; hops are good. Floods ure English Crops. A number of cables came through last "week reporting damage to the English crop and a lowering of estimates, but without specifying the exact reasons. Those are explained by a special cable report from London printed In the New York Herald of September 3, telling of the terrible floods which have laid waste 'England's crops. From all parts, north and south, come reports of fields under water. The harvest which had Just begun is spoiled and the crops .ruined. In the Kent and East Surrey hop fields great distress was created and the result can not but prove very disastrous to what !promted to be one of the best hop sea sons on record. The following cablegram was re ceived from London by a Portland dealer yesterdays afternoon: "Crop about half harvested. Bad weather prevailing. Doubtful if three-fourths jcrop can be gathered." Conditions in New York. Two letters were received yesterday which throw more light on the real con ditions existing in New York state. One was from Seth Parsons, a dealer of 31 years' experience In the hop business at Sharon Springs. Writing under dato of September 5 he said: "Since Saturday our yards show marked change. Plenty of vermin, honey-dew and mould. Hops just rotting on the poles. Present outlook Is that hops not picked this week will remain unharvested. New York state crop, is doomed to be the lightest one on record with mixed qual ity. Hundreds of yards havo been aban doned and the lowest estimates have been too high. Crop won't exceed one-third of 1904." W. E. Smith, of Hamilton, N. Y., wrote under the same date: "The crop here Is fooling every one. It won't be over one-fourth to one-third of last year. We all thought before picking began that It would be one-half to twb thlrds of last year, but it won't. We have had the worst rainstorms In years 'and yards are being abandoned and pick, crs discharged everywhere, state will not thave to exceed 17,000 to 23,000 bales." In 1902. New York state produced only 23,000 bales. Sues to Recover Damages. W. W. Brlstow has sued the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company. In the Btate Circuit Court, to recover $23,000 dam ages for personal injuries sustained on January 25. 1905. The company was en gaged in making a All on East Water street south of East Morrison. Brlstow, Sn his complaint, says the planking of the levated roadway was removed by the company so that dirt could be dumped Into to fill. He alleges that the company was negligent and left things in an un safe condition, and that as he was walk ing along he fell through a loose plank, and was severey injured. The principal injury was to his brain, causing nervous prostration. He avers that he was com pelled to give up his position aa general agent for the National Life Insurance Company of the United States. Rceptlon to Passenger Men.

Previous to the opening of the Lewi and Clark Fair, and upon several occasion since. the -writer ha received several letter. ome from persons residing in California, others from citizens of eur own city, besides many telephone messages, calling the attention of the Humane Society to the proposed, and new actual exhibition presented by the Igorrotea, with the request that our society interfere, and If possible, prevent the dU gustlng scene as witnessed at St. Louis. These numerous complaints coming from reputable citizens at home and other cities makes it necessary for the Oregon Humane boclety to take oognlzrnce of the facts aito. if possible, remove the disgusting and sick ening spectacle Xrom the view of the morbid and curious seeker after nasty tnings. First of all, it seems strange that appar ently decent men and modest women should desire to subject their sensibilities to scenes like this, as graphically depicted in one of our leading papers. We also notice ad vertisements for tender male dogs with short hair to supply feasts for these be nighted Igorrotes. and that a suitable re ward will be paid for the unfortunate cur suited to their tastes. This offer will, of oourse, tempt a clans of boys to obtain cogs through questionable methods, and woe be tide the poor- brute found outside his own er's gate. Where are our -missionaries, and what are they doing that these heathen now brought to oir very doors are not nought out and taught a cleaner and better mode of living? And the time has come, brought about mrougn me eirorts of Humane societies, when brute creatures eh all be protected and be exempt from exhibitions of cruelty for the gratification of depraved human nature. The officers of the Humane Society will investigate the legality of cutting dogs' throats and await & lingering, painful, con scious death. We are sure that the better class of our citizens will condemn this ex hibition and Indorse any action taken to have the practice modified by killing the animals humanely, away from public gaze, or by a discontinuance of the scene. Should the society fall in establishing a case of cruelty against these barbarians, there is a city ordinance to fall back upon, which prohibits the killing of animals within the city limits. The foregoing statement Is published In" the interest of the many friendf of the Humane Society who have appealed to it, and in the interest of humanity and to inculcate a higher an1 due regard for the rights of brute creatures that add untold benefits to the human race. W. T. SHANAHAN. Corresponding Secretary Oregon Humane Society. Rlncr Asks Postponement. E. Rlner filed a petition yesterday, through his attorneys, Ed and A. R. Mendenhall, asking that his trial on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses In the Tanner-Creek sewer con tract, which is set for September IS, be postponed. As a reason for the request, petitioner says his father, R. 1L Rlner, who is the principal witness for the de fense. Is visiting Callforna. and may not return n time for the trial. He avers that he has not heard from his father for two weeks, and does not know his present address. Ed Rlner asserts that his father will testify that he was not a partner In the sewer contract, and only entitled to a 5 per cent Interest In the profits, and. therefore. Is not liable for prosecution in this case. R. M. Rlner was convicted several months ago, and Is out on ball pending an appeal. Ed Rlner recently re- turned from Walla "Walla, where he con structed a sewer. Calls an Examination. ' The Municipal Civil Service Commission has called for an examination for plumb ing inspector and his deputy to take place Saturday. September 23. These positions are held by Thomas B. Hulme and Harry Woodhouse. who consider that their ten ure of offlcehas been pretty thoroughly established b"y the recent action of the City Council in passing an ordinance continuing them In office over the Mayor's veto. Xlghtnlng Injures Telephones.

Or mandy, cast the tfecldlns; yotty LYTLE NOW BANKER Becomes Interestednn Oregon Savings Bank. - ELECf ED VICE - PRESIDENT Former Owner of Columbia Southern Invests 3Ioney In Portland Wal ter Moore, Ieo Fried and Others Also Invest. Ever since the announcement was made that E. E. Lytle had disposed of the Columbia Southern Railroad much speculation, has been Indulged In as to where his Interests would be cast, and the announcement yesterday that he READY TO BE SAWED INTO LUMBER LOG BOOM AT IIOQCIAM, WASH. had become a large stockholder in and vice-president of the Oregon Savings Bank. Sixth and Morrison streets, Portland, was welcomed by the finan cial interest of the city. Few men in the entire country have been so eminently successful as Mr. Lytle, and the fact that he has decided to engage in the banking buslnoss means much to the Oregon Savings Bank, which has had such prenoracnal success since Its Inception two years ago. Waltor H. Moore, who has been a director of the bank, has Increased his holdings and has boon elected prov ident. Mr. Moore Is a member of the firm of Moore Bros., who have big In terests in Eastern Oregon, and has an extensivo acquaintance over the state aa well ns in Washington and Idano. The fact that he has also become more deeply interested In Portland is wel come news m financial circles. Messrs. Lytle and Moore are men of achieve ment and have the confidence of the community. They aro representative Oregon men, of high financial standing, and are In toucn with the pulse of trade and finance. Mr. Loo Fried, who for many years ha,s been at the head of WadhamH & Co. and president of the Prlncvllle Land & Livestock Company, an old resident of the City of Portland, who has always stood In the highest, estimation of the community at large, has also become intorested In the bank, and will be an active member of its board. A. A. Allen, vice-president and general manager of the M., K. &. T. Railroad. St. Louts, for some time has been look ing to Portland for investment and has bought an interest. Among the others interested are Hon. R. J. GInn. of Sher man County, who was representative In the last session of the Legislature, also a capitalist and large property holder of Eastern Orcgan; also H. A. Moore, of the firm of Moor Bros. The Oregon Savings Bank, of Port land, Or., Is one of the strongest cav ing? banks and trust companies in the Norhtwost, with a capital, surplus and assets of over half a million dollars, affording Its depositors unquestioned security as a bank for the deposit of savings, and in all departments of a general trust and banking company. In many places outside the large cities, no Interest at all Is paid; in others a very low rate, and even in the jarge cities It Is often not more than 3 per cent. The Oregon Savings Bank pays 4 per cent Interest compounded semi-annually, March 1 and September 1. That is to say. the interest Is added to the account each six months when It also begins to draw Interest at the same rate. Mr. W. Cooper Morris, a prime fa vorite with the patrons of the bank, and who has considerable stock In the Institution, has again been ehected cash ier. L. O.

CORPSE HOLDS THE WHEEL Japanese Steersman Dies at Post on Storm-Driven Vessel. HONOLULU. Sept. 12. A dead man held the wheel of the schooner Charles Levi Woodbury during- several hours of the night of August 8. on her trip from Laysan Island.

The rain is here at last, but not as the navigation companies would have it come. They wanted more water in the rivers, but did not care to have it served out In bucketfuls at a time, accompanied by a superfluous amount of electricity con centrated In bolts. Captain Larklns, of the Kamm line steamer Lurllne, reports one of the worst storms on the lower river he ever experienced. Not only did the rain come down In a perfect deluge, but the thunder and lightning was terrific. For over an hour It raged, and the crash of the thunder as It reverberated back and forth between the cliffs of the lower river was almost deafening, and the flashes of lightning at times almost blind ing. The effect of 'the rain so far has iot helped the situation much, so far as navl- gatlon is concerned. At Salem, the wa ter had risen only one-twentieth of a foot up to o'clock lost night. Companies operating on the Cowlitz report more of a rise, and In the Lewis a two-Inch rise is reported. This will help the Lewi3 River boats to a great extent, providing the rain keeps up. On the Upper Willamette, no great change Is anticipated, unless It rains for eight or ten days, as most of the rain that falls In the first three or four days Is absorbed by the soli. The traffic on The Dulles boats has hardly been affected .by the rain, the Charles R. Spencer, the Bailey Gatzert and the Undine going out yesterday and the day before with good crowds. The lower-river and Willamette boats, how ever, report light crowds, and the three boathouscs and different launches report no business at all.
