NORTHERN PAGIF1G
GRITS LOW RATE
Road Names Fare of $25 to
Attract Laboring Men
From the East.
OTHER LINES WILL FOLLOW
Kate Applies From Duluth, St. Paul
and Missouri River Points to
the States of Oregon and
Washington.
So urgent has become the demand for
laborers In the Northwest that the North
ern Pacific Railway has decided to make
a reduced rate from the East to all points
In Oregon and Washington to induce men
of the working class to come to the
Coast. Effective today, the company will
offer a rate of J25 to the two Northwest
ern states from Missouri River points.
These rates will be good only In parties
of 20 or more, where one ticket Is used,
and will permit those taking advantage
of the reduced tariff access to the day
coaches only, giving them no accommo
dations In sleeping-cars or diners. The
rate applies from Duluth, St. Paul, Min
neapolis and Missouri River gateways to
North Coast points. The $25 tickets will
also be good from intermediate points
where the fare is now In excess of J25.
The great need for workers In the two
Northwestern States and the pressure ap
plied on the railroads for a low rate that
will attract large numbers of laborers
from the East are the reasons for the
announcement by the railroad. The need
for .common labor was never so great In
the two stares, and the step just taken
seems the only way to relieve the situa
tion. The other Northwestern roads are
expected to follow suit and meet the rate
made by the Northern Pacific.
The fcio tickets for laborers in parties of
20 or more will be on sale dally from now
until September 14, when the usual colo
nist rates of 225 from the Missouri River
to the Coast becomes effective. The rate
Is now $40 for a second-class fare between
the points affected by the new laborers'
rate.
This concession on the part of the rail
roads will be hailed with delight by con
tractors and large employers of labor In
Oregon and Washington, who are hard
put for men to All their construction
camps and complete their contracts. It
Is expected that witlr" such a substantial
reduction In fares large numbers of men
will come West.
GIVES GOCLU LINE FOOTHOLD
"Western Pacific Will Use Ham
mond's Line Across Oregon.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. The
Chronicle says today: The fact that
the Gould lines have obtained an en
trance to Oregon has leaked out
throusn the announcement of A. B.
Hammond, president of the Corvallis &
Eastern arid Astoria & Columbia River
-oads, that the first named will be ex
pended from the terminus at Indanha,
Linn County, across Central Oregon to
some point on the Snake River, prob
ably Ontario. The road also will be
started from Astoria In the same con
nection, as it will be pushed south
along the coast from Seaside to Ne
halttm and Tillamook. These projects
will aggregate more than 350 miles of
-construction for the two roads within
the next two years.
It is said that the terminal of the
Corvallis & Eastern may not be On
tario, but a point In the Klamath coun
try, where a Junction may be effected
with the California. Nevada & Oregon
road, an acknowledged Gould line,
which It is intended shall be pushed
" north from the main line of the West
ern Pacific at Reno. Nev., to Lakevlew
and the Klamath. The road has alreajv
been completed as far as Madeline
Plains.
The building of the Corvallis & East
ern to a Juncture with the Western
Pacific or the California, Nevada &
Oregon, and thus closing the gap to
Albany and Portland, or Taquina and
Tillamook, will give the Gould line ac
cess to all the Important northern har
bors, except Coos Bay.
This story is substantially what was
printed in The Oregonlan several weeks
ago when A. B. Hammond made the offi
cial announcement of the projected ex
tension of both the Corvallis & Eastern
and the Astoria & Columbia River Rail
roads. At the time It was predicted
that the Gould interests, which are allied
closely with Mr. Hammond's associates
In the ownership of the two roads, are
to make use of the extension of the Cor
vallis & Eastern across Central Oregon
In order to connect with a branch of
the Western Pacific stretching north
from Reno, Nev., while the closing of
the gap between Taquina Bay and Tlll
amook would afford an entrance to Port
land by easy grades. That Oregon will
become the battleground for the Gould
and Harriman forces, as well as the point
of conflict between the Harriman and
Hill Interests, Is believed by many.
INJUNCTION HEARING PUT OFF
Court Grants Postponement Asked
by Harriman Company.
A postponement of the hearing of the
injunction asked by the Portland & Beat
tie Railway against the Northern Pa
' clfic Terminal Company to restrain the
latter corporation from acquiring any
more of the lands adjoining the terml
anl yards which are claimed by the
suing company, was granted yesterday In
the Federal court upon application of
counsel for the terminal company, a
Harriman concern. The date for the
hearing was set for October 1. The tem
porary Injunction will remain in effect
until that time.
Although the postponement was asked
for the ostensible purpose of allowing
more time for the Harriman attorneys
to perfect their case. It Is predicted that
It will result In an advantage to the
HIU side of the suit, for it will allow
of continued work on the filling of the
Hill terminals and a stronger showing
can then te made as to expenditures on
the' land, which will be urged as a fur
ther reason for holding It.
Better Power on Spring-water Road.
A change has been made In the man
ner of providing power for the Spring-
water division of the Oregon Water
Power & Railway Company that will
make a decided Improvement. Genera
tors have been added to the Boring steam
plant, which now feeds a direct cur
rent on the line there. Formerly the
current from the Boring power plant
went to the Gresham and Eagle Creek
substations before It was' fed onto the
wires as a direct current, in conjunc
tion with the new substation at ienia,
the new arrangement at Boring will be
a benefit to the operation of the Spring
water division.

Portland-Vancouver Fare Reduced.
The Portland Railway Company an
nounces a reduction In fare between
Portland and Vancouver, which will be
come effective Immediately. Horeafter
the fare for one way will be 20 cents
instead of 25 as formerly, and round-trip
tickets will be sold for 35 cents instead
of 45 cents as heretofore. The rates for
teams crossing the Columbia River ferry
have also been materially reduced. The
lower fares are the result of a series
of conferences between the officials of
the Portland Railway Company and the
Commissioners of Clark County, Wash.
Talbot Vice-President of A. & C.
Guy W. Talbot, general manager of
the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad
and the Corvallis & Eastern, the two
Hammond roads, has been elected to the
office of vice-president of the A. & C.
to succeed T. H. Curtis, who recently
resigned. Mr. Talbot was appointed gen
eral manager some time ago by Mr.
Hammond and the associate owners of
the two roads, but the vice-president is
elected by the directors. He retains the
position of general manager of both
lines.
WEDDING NOT LIKE HANGING
Robert AVaddell Resents Criticism of
Marriage Ceremony at The Oaks.
That one place Is as good as another
to be married, and that when one be
gins to trot In double harness no long
face or funereal appearances are neces
sary Is the belief of Robert E. Waddell,
whose marriage to Miss Dorothy Bllery
was celebrated last Friday night on the
whirl at the Oaks. Mr. Ellery resents
the criticism the informal ceremony has
called forth, and says It Is quite as well
to face matrimony with a smile as with
a frown.
"Because a couple does not want to go
up the aisle in some half-darkened
church, where everything has the ap
pearance of a hanging, there seems to
be a good deal of unjust criticism of our
act." said Mr. Waddell last night. "Many
marriages remind one of a man going
to the scaffold. We did not feel that way
about it. If we had, we probably would
not have been married at all.
"I do not see any more odium being
attached to being married at the Oaks
than would result from the marriages at

the Exposition last Summer, of which
there were several. Our self-appointed
critics seemed to think those of last Sum
mer at the. Fair were all right or at least
have nfade.no outcry about them.
"I am almost a stranger In the city,
but was formerly In the -theatrical busi
ness, where I became acquainted with
Manager Frledlander of the Oaks. When
I reached Portland he asked me in a
friendly way If I would like to have the
ceremony performed at the Oaks. This
la the reason that place was selected.
Both Mr. Fiiendlander and Justice Olson
acted like gentlemen and the affair passed
off smoothly. It is only people who had
no connection whatever with the matter
who have made themselves disagreeable
and In doing so they have Interfered in
something which cannot concern them in
the least.
"There are different ways of looking at
these things, and the way we chose of
getting married suits us. I do not know
that there is any necessity of pleasing
anyone else."
Mr. Waddell Is from Goldfleld, Nev.,
where he Is Interested In mining proper
ties. The couple will probably make their
home In Los Angeles.

SUES TO RECOVER HORSE
W. J. Landers Claims Animal Bought
by Albert Klein.
Albert Klein, who has a meat market
on East Burnside street, may have
to give up a horse he bought in 1902
at The Dalles, or pay the man who
claims ownership to the animal $200:
W. J- Lauders has started a suit in
the East Side Court to recover pos
session of the horse, which he claims he
owns. Lauders says that his horse,
which he values at 1200, disappeared
some years ago, but he discovered the
animal In the possession of Klein in
Portland a few days ago, and now he
wants Klein to - restore tne animal,
or nav him 2200, the value of the horse.
Klein says lie bought the horse from
a liveryman In The Dalles In 1902, and
has the returned check with which he
n.iM for the animal. He bought the
horse In perfect good faith and has
been using It ever since, 'ihe nearing
of the case will probably prove Inter
esting.

WORLD
SHDPGROP
IS VERY SILL
Estimate by Klaber, Wolf &
Netter of This Year's
Production.
CONDITIONS ARE DETAILED
Surplus Stocks Held by Brewers In
America and Europe May Pre
vent Fancy Prices Being
Realized by Growers.
The firm of Klaber, Wolf & Netter, the
most extensive handlers of hops on the
Pacific Coast, has furnished The Ore
gonlan with a statement of conditions in
the hop market, as affected by the com
ing crops, that will prove of greatest in
terest to every one connected with the
hop Industry In this part of the country.
The firm has connections In every part
of the world where hops are grown or
sold, and in the past few days has re
ceived dozens of cables and telegrams
bearing on the situation. From this mass
of reports and crop predictions, a conser
vative estimate of the 1906 crop of Amer
ica and foreign countries has been ar
rived at, which is set forth in the accom
panying table. The figures given for the
previous years are official.
M. J. Netter, who has charge of the
Portland office, returned a few days ago
from a stay of several months in San
Francisco. Herman Klaber, whose head
quarters are at Tacoma, came, over from
Puget Sound Sunday, and since then both
have been engaged In sifting down the
reports and estimates sent them by their
correspondents. The conclusions, as fur
nished by Mr. Klaber and Mr. Netter to
The Oregonlan are as follows:
Oregon crop The crop of this state' In
1905 was about 115,000 bales. Enougtvnew
acreage would have come Into bearing
this year to have produced 140,000 to 150,
000 bales under favorable climatic condi
tions. However, owing to the long, dry
spell, there is a great deal of slack bine.
and, therefore, we do not estimate a crop
of over 115,000 bales this year. This we
regard as a very conservative estimate.
Borne estimates are as low as 100,000 but
we believe this figure entirely too small.
Contracts have been made In this state
from 9 cents to 20 cents. About 60,000
bales have been contracted in Oregon, aa
nearly as we can learn.
Washington crop Last year the crop
was overestimated. Returns, as given out
by the Northern Pacific Railroad, show
that onlv 45,000 bales were grown In 1905.
This year there is enough new acreage
with an average crop to produce about
CO.OOO . bales, but on account of the dry
spell, we do not estimate over 50,000 balas
as a maximum. Some hopmen estimate
the crop as low as 46,000 bales.
Contract prices in Washington ranged
from 9 to 17V4 centB, and we do not be
lieve to exceed 20,000 bales have been
contracted. The quality should be much
superior to last year, provide we have
good weather during picking. There Is
generally good quality when the yield Is
lower, as the hops have a better chance to
get the benefit of the sun. Last year the
climatic conditions at picking time were
very unfavorable. '
California Crop Light.
California crop Our estimate is from
83,000 to 90,000 bales. Original estimates
were 100,000 bales, but the crop Is not
looking so good now. Picking Is under
way In the -Sacramento and Yuba sec
tions, where It will be general by August
27. By September 1 to 5 picking will be
general In other sections.
About one-half the California crop has
been contracted for at prices ranging
from 9 to 20 cents. We have this year
made In that state the largest contract
ever recorded with a single grower one
contract with Durst for 2000 bales. The
crop of California last year was 72,000
bales. The quality of the crop promises
to be better than last year, and It looks
as If Sonoma and the best sections would
produce a quality of the old standard.
New York crop From the latest esti
mates, our reports have been reduced, but
we do not care to place it at less than
60,000 bales, though a number put It un
der 40,000, and some of the more conserv
ative say 60,000 bales.
1905s and olds These are practically ex
hausted and the stocks of such In dealers'
hands are much smaller than for many
seasons past at this time. In the San
Francisco fire 3500 bales were consumed.
Belgian crop Last year the crop was
110,000 centners, a centner being 100
pounds. This year the crop will be about
40,000 centners. The average consump
tion Is about 100,000 centners, so Belgium
will be compelled to buy hops in Amer
ica to make up the deficiency. The. mar
ket in Belgium Is now advancing, and
prices range from 120 to 140 francs. The
quality of the Belgian crop Is always In
ferior. Bohemian crop The Saaz section has a
fairly good crop, but the Auscha and
Dauba districts are badly affected by ver
min and at best they cannot have more
than half of last year's crop In Bohemia.
Last year the yield was abnormally large.
Some estimate the Bohemian crop at 50,000
centners under our estimate. The crop
will hardly be sufficient for their own
consumption, therefore their forward con
tracts for exportations to Egland and
America put them In the position of be
ing compelled to get along with their sur
plus or emergency stocks, which brewers
hold, or purchase their requirements else
where. German crop The estimates range from
300.000 to 400.000 centners as against 645,000
centners last year. We have placed our
estimate at 400,000 for the reason that
there has been a ellght Improvement In
conditions In the past few days and also
because the German crop is generally un
derestimated. This Is the smallest crop
Germany has had In ten years, except In
1901. when the yield was approximately
275,000 centners, and some dealers are in-
cllned to place their estimates
low as
that.
French and Russian crops These sec
tions do not cut much figure In the statis
tical position of the market, and tooth
will have fairly good crops.
English crop Estimates as furnished us
range from 250,000 to 300,000 hundred
weight. We have placed our estimate at
290,000 in order to be conservative.
Drouth Damages English Crop.
The damage to the English crop was
caused by drouth and one of the most
persistent (attacks of vermin ever known.
We have no doubt the official returns to
be Issued by the British government will
show a crop abont the same as that of
1904, which was 282,000 hundredweight.
Reports from England show that growers
have sprayed from x to fifteen times,
and after each spraying new deposits of
fly and lice have been found. Therefore
spraying has been practically unsuccess
ful. We are advised that some planters
have gone to the unprecedented expense
of 9 to save their crop, or about 40 cents
a pound, which Is equal to more than
four times the coet of raising hops in
this country. On this account English i
planters naturally will not dump their
hops on the market except at prices that
will remunerate them for the extraordi
nary expense to which they have been
put. The crop will be harvested earlier
than ever before, and picking will be gen
eral before September 1.
The cause of the sudden decline in the
market In 1902-03-04 was due to the enor
mous exportation from Belgium and the
Continent of low grades to London, and
which were slaughtered on the-London
market to effect sales. Besides, the con
sumption of hops in England has steadily
declined from 635.000 hundredweight In
1901, according to the official government
returns, to less' than 650,000 hundred
weight. Other causes were the . Inferior
quality of beer produced by the English
brewers and the financial depression of
the country. Business conditions have
changed for the better In England, as
elsewhere, and the brewers are now mak
ing an effort to Improve the quality of
their beer and are using more and better
hops as well aa malt. There is no doubt,
therefore, that the next official returns
will show a consumption -'of something
like 600,000 hundredweight and possibly
more.
Conclusion It is true that the brewers
In England, as In all other countries, have
laid up surplus or emergency stocks, and
they-, will draw from these should hops
reach a price that in their mind Is pro
hibitive. But they will, no doubt, buy our
best grades If they can procure them on
a basis of 15 to 20 cents to the growers on
the Pacific Coast. Our hops are becoming
more and more In favor every year, and
therefore will not come Into competition
with the poor Belgian and Continental
hops, and no doubt there will be an open
market for our best grades, providing we
do not make our price prohibitive.
The American crop last season was 290,-
000 bales. We Imported German hops
equal to 50,000 bales, which makes a total
of 340.000 bales of available hops of the
crop of 1905. Our total exports In
1905 from New York, Galveston and
San Francisco to England and other
foreign countries were practically 65,000
bales. There were probably 10,000 bales
left In growers' and dealers' hands In the
United States, or a total of 66,000 'bales
exported and unsold, showing the Amer
ican brewers took on 276,000 bales of the
1905 crop.
The last Government returns to June 30
showed we brewed approximately 55,000,000
barrete of beer. Assuming that the in
crease to June 30, 1907, will be on the
same basis, the beer output will "be at
least 68,000.000 barrels. Hence the con
sumption of the American brewers will
run close to 240,000 to 250,000 bales of hops.
Figuring the United States crop of 1906
at 300,000 bales, we will have 50,00 bales
for export, but, on account of the emer
gency stocks held by United States brew
ers, there will probably be a further 25.000
or 50,000 bales to export. But a total of
100,000 bales would practically clear all
our markets and give brewers only
enough hops to run them.
The English official returns of acreage
are not yet published, but from unofficial
advices we believe the acreage for 1906
will be about 1000 less than in 1905. As
the English growers have been for four
years out of five fighting the lice pest,
should they not receive remunerative
prices for their product this year the
chances are we will see a still further
decrease In . acreage. And every acre
plowed up In England means a better
position for the American grower.
HOT SESSION IS PROMISED
St. Johns Council to Tackle Street
Improvement Tangle Tonight.
The street-improvement tangle will en
gage the attention of the St. Johns Coun
cil at Its regular meeting this evening.
Protests poured In at the meeting last
Tuesday on several streets, all of which
went over until this meeting. Disagree
ment over grades is at the bottom of this
trouble. City Engineer W. W. Goodrich
and his two deputies, W. C. Elliott and
George Scoggln, are still in office, In spite
of the efforts of the Council to throw
them out.
The question of paying the City Engi
neer for his work will come up, some
warrants having been held up because he
has declined to pay the bill for advertis
ing the Improvements In the Review, the
official paper, for the alleged reason that
his 5 per cent will not be sufficient to
settle both bills. It Is shown that for
Catlin, Pittsburg, Crawford, Salem and
Lively streets the fees for the City Engi
neer of 5 per cent on the contract price
of $3067.28, amount to a total of J156.86,
while the advertising bill is $321.20. If the
City Engineer paid for the advertising
for these streets, on the face of the fig
ures, he would pay out $166.34 more than
he receives1. It Is probable that all these
matters will be straightened out at the
meeting this evening.
CIRCUS RIDER IS THROWN
Horse Falls With J. Aldy and Spec
tators Think He Is Killed.
A sesation which was not billed on the
programme was enacted at the circus
yesterday afternoon when J. Aldy, one of
the riders, fell with his horse near the
entrance during the races at. the close
of the performance.
As Aldy and his horse Were rounding
the sharp curve at one end of the Im
mense rink the horse stumbled and fell.
With a terrific thud Aldy fell on his neck
and lay there for some seconds, uncon-
scious, before the attendants rushed up
and carried the man away on a stretcher.
The accident created a great commotion
among the audience, and the rumor
spread that the rider was dead. The
people at the end of the rink where
they saw the accident rushed for the
exit, and it Is said that one woman faint
ed during the stampede of the crowd.
After being taken Into his dressing
room the man soon revived, and It was
found that he was not Injured at all. He
ate a hearty supner and went to work

P. O. Borg, Heppner Jeweler, Oper
ated on Here for Appendicitis.
Several weeks ago P. O. Borg, a Jew
eler of Heppner and an Oregon pioneer,
came to Portland on a visit. While here
he was stricken with appendicitis. He
immediately decided to have an operation
performed, and went to St. Vincent's Hos
pital. Not wishing to cause his family
any bother and unnecessary worry, he
kept them In ignorance of his Illness.
Mr. Borg Is nearly 70 years old, and, as
he says himself, he never expected to
withstand the operation. Alone and with
out a word to his folks, he submitted to
the operation. Now Mr. Borg is on the
road to recovery. Yesterday Mrs. Borg
arrived from Heppner to be with her hus
band, having learned of his Illness
through a friend who had written her.
She Is registered at the Imperial Hotel.
