THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 3. 1908.
LEFT IN HANDS OF
OREGON
GROWERS
Fate of Hop Association Rests
With the Producers of
This State.
CALIFORNIA'S WORK DONE
Organizers Have Pointed Out the
"tt'ay to Success and It Remains to
the Oregonians to Carry It
Through to the End.
AURORA. Or., Jan. 2. (To the Edi
tor.) The California organizing com
mittee, except myself, started bacU to
California yesterday, and I am leaving:
for Alameda, Cal., tomorrow. We have
made a good beginning: toward organ
izing the Pacific Coast Hopgrowers'
Union, and we go back with the assur
ance that the movement will continue
until organization is completed.
The committee has done all that could
be expected of it. It must now devolve
upon the hopgrowers of Oregon and
Washington to carry the organization
to a successful issue.
The California committee came up
for the purpose of inaugurating the
movement and to develop leaders and
workers among hopgrowers here and
in Washington.
We feel that we have succeeded, even
beyond our expectations, and are going
home satisfied that we are leaving
safe, wise and energetic men working'
for the general good. The directors
already selected and those spoken of
are men we all have the utmost confi
dence in. and who have the confidence
of the hopgrowers of Oregon and
Washington.
The banks, newspapers and business
men have been of great help to us, and
in extending us their good will and
confidence, they have honored the com
mittee and the hopgrowers of Cali
fornia who sent us. They have also
done a service to the hopgrowers of
Oregon and to the general public.
The Oregonian's good will and help
have been of inestimable assistance to us.
and we feel under many obligations for
the courtesies extended us. We are grati
fied with the reception we have met
with at the hands of the Oregon hop
growers. We are sorry that we did
not meet all of them.
Time Was Too Limited.
But our time was limited, and the
meetings were not advertised far
enough ahead. Over two-thirds of all
growers attending our meetings signed
up, and every man signing has become
a strenuous worker for the good of
the cause.
It la necessary tnat we complete our
membership as soon as possible so that
the directorate can meet and get ac
tively at work towards perfecting the
organization, so that the work ahead of
us can bo begun early and carried to a
successful issue.
The state of Oregon will practically
control the union. With 1403 hopgrow
ers Oregon can largely outvote Cali
fornia and Washington growers com
bined. With seven directors Oregon
only needs one more vote to control
the actions of the board of directors.
The success of the union depends most
largely on the Oregon hopgrowers.
The success of the Pacific Coast Hop
growers' Union will do more for Or
egon than for either of the other states.
It means more money saved to Oregon
than to either of the other states. I
wonder if Oregon hopgrowers realize
that there is more in the future of
hopgrowing for Oregon than for any
other state? In Washington and Cali
fornia nearly all of the land available
for hopgrowing is already in use, but
there are thousands of acres in Oregon
specially adapted to growing hops.
When this union is in existence and
we make an aggressive fight for the
markets of the world, as we surely will,
and we will secure them' in due time.
It will mean that the bulk of the new
acreage will be set out in Oregon.
Means Much for Oregon.
It means that Oregon will grow
double the hops that any other state
produces. It will mean several millions
more annually spent for labor and sup
plies in Oregon.
No other agricultural industry spreads
the money so freely among needy work
ers.. Workers of the city earn money and
secure holidays and health at the same
time. Families secure clothes and neces
sities for the Winter time. Women, chil
dren and men not able to do hard work
all go to the hop-picking as the only
place where the work is light and the
pay good.
. If it were not for the wages paid out
during hop-picking, thousands of familiea
might feel the pinch of want, might even
be denied the necessities of life, and the
outing which means health for the pres
ent generation and vigor for the ones to
come.
This industry, which does so much for
the laboring class, and in which every
public interest has concern, is being
strangled. It is on the verge of ruin. Is
it not time the rrlp were shaken loose
and that the public saw to it that the
bone and sinew of our people which are
the hop-pickers and hopgrowers should
be protected from the circumstances
which are throttling the industry?
' Things cannot continue as they are go
ing much longer. There must be a
change. Hopgrowers must either organ
ize and stand together or fall separately.
We were assured by the delegates we
met in Chehalls from the hopgrowing
sections of Washington that 90 per cent
of the Washington growers would join
the union.
California Will Come In.
We know that we will secure almost all
California growers. It behooves Oregon
growers, who are to reap tne greatest
good from the movement, not to be the
least ready to push it to a successful
issue.
Every grower should make it a point to
see that his neighbor hopgrower Joins
the union. No one should be satisfied with
merely signing the by-laws. Each one
should get in and work to his fullest ca
pacity We California men have given
nearly two months' exclustve work to the
union. We feel now as If Oregon and
Washington are. in duty bound to con
tinue the work here with the utmost
seal, so that within two weeks we may
be assured of a membership of at least
75 per cent of all hopgrowers in these two
states
It would only require a few days' work
from each of the 400 signers already se
cured to make a brilliant success of this
union. We could then get to work for
the general good of hopgrowers. It
might be that the union would be in a
position to do something to better the
condition of those still holding 1906 and
1W hops.
The time has come when each hop-
grower must choose where he will stand
with his fellow hopgrowers in a pow
erful union able to protect its members
against all unfairness and to secure good
prices, or against his fellow hopgrowers
and his own and family's interest. Each
man is to choose and we must soon know
what the choice will be.
No hopgrower can do a greater service
to the public and to his own family than
by Joining this union.
AH Should Join Movement.
No hopgrower can more surely injure
the public interest and condemn his own
family to want and poverty than by not
joining his neighbors in perfecting this
union.
No selfish motives will Justify any hop-
grower in hanging back. Every man
should get in and push at the start. It
takes the hardest push to start any load.
We want helpers and pushers now. We
need the help of each hopgrower now,
more than we will ever need it again.
The time is at hand to unite. We have
nothing to lose and all to gain. Success
is assured if each man will do his part.
California hopgrowers look to Oregon to
lead the way and Washington to follow
in pushing this union to full success.

6LEHELUM IS " OUT
British Ship First to Clear for
January.
WHEAT FOR CONTINENT
Exports for First Month of Last
Half of Fiscal Year Will Be Close
to Those of December Con
siderable Foreign Lumber.
January export business opened yes
terday, the first working day of the new
year, with the clearance of the British
ship Glenelvan, Captain Bobbins, with
118.751 bushels of wheat, valued at $99,750,
for the United Kingdom for orders.
January will follow close on the heels
of December in point of wheat shipments.
Flour exports will probably exceed those
of the last month of the year 1907 by 1000
barrels. The Glenelvan takes the lead
for the sailing craft. She will be fol
lowed in rapid succession by . a number
of windjammers, which will be rushed
through to completion. Everything which
can possibly get a berth is working, and
masters are clamoring for cargo. A num
ber of cralt have been in the harbor since
the early part of November.
Lumber shipments for the month will
run well up; The Valdlvia Jias on board
a part, cargo and the Strathford will
finish within a few days. For Coast
shipments there will be a certain well
defined increase in the shipments.
The Loop Lumber Company, operating
the steam schooners Johan Poulsen, R.
D. Inman and F. S. Loop, will run the
vessels between Portland and San Fran
cisco exclusively In the lumber business.
The Johan Poulsen and the Inman have
been carrying mixed cargoes South for
the past six months. The Loop is a new
vessel and will go into commission in
time to make a trip to Portland during
the month.
FRENCH MASTER COMPLAINS
Files Protest With the Chamber of
Commerce Over Tugboat Service,
Captain Rio, master of the French bark
Sully, has sent the following communica
tion to the Chamber of Commerce. Secre
tary Giltner said last night that the com
munication would be turned over to the
committee on rivers, harbors and naviga
tion: Dear Sirs: I desire to bring the following
statement of treatment received at the hands
of the O. R. N. Co. to the notice of your
honorable body.
My ship, lying in the stream, and having
dragged her anchors on Saturday evening I
wa in danger of colliding with another ship
In case my anchors should not hold. Since
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock I have been
requesting the O. R. & N. Co. to furnish a
tug to put me In safe place, but up to the
present they have absolutely refused to as
sist me until the regular moves, first on the
list, had been attended to.
Considering the perilous condition of my
ship I think it is a perfect shame that they
should be permitted to act thus under the
circumstances, and I earnestly hope that you
will take the necessary steps to bring this
action on the part of the O. R. N. Co. to the
attention of the Interested.
Thanking you In advance for your kind con
sideration. Respectfully yours,
A. RIO.
Master French Ship Sully.
AID FROM REVENUE SERVICE
Portland Chamber of Commerce
Asked to Wire to Port Townsend.
An arrangement by which the vessols
cf the United States Revenue Cutter serv
ice may receive more direct information
of disasters to ships near the mouth of
the Columbia and err.ble them to proceed
to the rescue without delay, is likely to
ne inaugurated in the near future. In
;use of accident to vessels on the Oregon
Coast, the news will be at once tele
graphed to Port Townsend by the Cham
ber of Commerce, when a revenue cutter
wiU be immediately dispatched to render
n, distance to the distressed vessel. At
present the revenue authorities at Port
Townsend are handicapped in the receipt
of such news from the fact that this in
formation is received through the news
papers which do not reach Port Townsend
until nearly noon.
"a a letter received yesterday by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce from
F. M. Munger, Captain of the Revenue
Cutter Service at that place, he says:
"If your body would advise us of dis
asters to vessels as soon as the informa
tion is received by you, it would enable
us to dispatch a vessel of the service to
the aid of the distressed craft at unco
and possibly 34 hours before the receipt
of the information through the papers.'
MOUNT ROYAL IS SIGHTED
Overdue Steamer Is Reported Off
Sable Island Going Slowly.
ST. JOHN, N. B., Jan. 2. A steamer,
thought to be the Canadian Pacific Liner
Mount Royal, 25 days out from Antwerp
for this port, with 304 immigrants on
board, was passed Monday last off Sable
Island, N. S-, by the steamer Lake
Champlain, of the same line, which ar
rived here last evening from Liverpool.
Captain Webster, of the Lake Champ
lain, reports that, when off Sable Island,
he passed a four-masted steamer about
15 miles away, standing on the same
course as he was steaming, but moving
slowly. No signals were seen. As Cap
tain Webster did not know of the anx
iety about the Mount Royal, he did not
attempt to identify the steamer as he
passed.
MASTER CLAIMS DEMURRAGE
i
Hanalcl Cannot Secure a Berth and
Captain Files a Claim.
Captain McFarland. master of the
steamship Hanalei, has filed demurrage
claims against the owners of the Oceanic
dock. The Hanalei came north from San
Francisco with general cargo and was to
have a berth at the Oceanic dock before
Thursday night. The dock was filled
with off short craft and the Hanalei
could get no berth.
The Hanalei is owned by the Indepen
dent Steamship Company, of Los An
geles, and is engaged in the freight car
rying trade between Portland and San
FranciECO. She brings general cargo
North and carries grain and lumber
South.

MAX TIE UP SOUND SHIPPING
Shipowners and Employes at Log
gerheads Over Wages.
TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 2. (Special.)
That a crisis will soon be reached in the
controversy between the marine engi
neers, mates, masters and the Puget
Sound Steamboat Owners Association is
the belief of "many men in shipping circles.
The engineers declare that they will not
recede one bit in their demands, and the
Masters' and Mates Association is in the
same attitude. On the other hand the
Puget Sound Steamboat Owners declare
that the reduction in wages of the mas
ters and mates will go into effect Janu
ary 10, at the same time the new wage
scale of the engineers take effect.
The outcome of the affair is being

The German ship Gertrude, which ar

have accepted a lump sum to cancel
her grain charter. Two other vessels
are known to be outside. They are the
German bark Reinbek, from Santa Ro

ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 2. The com

Emma Claud in a, on North Beach, will be
a source of relief to seafaring men, who
were always on the lookout for the hull
of a derelict, as it was not believed that
she had sunk after she was abandoned.
It is probably due to the extreme high
tides and strong gales of the past few
weeks that the remains of the vessel were
dislodged from their bed near the beach
and washed ashore, with the n&me on a
part of the bow to identify the wreckage.

CLOUDED BRAIN
Clean Up on Change to Proper Food.
The brain cannot work with clear
ness and accuracy if the food taken is
not fully digested, but is retained in
the stomach to ferment and form poi
sonous gases, etc. A dull, clouded brain
is likely to be the result.
A Michigan lady relates her expe
rience in changing her food habits, and
results are very interesting.
"A steady diet of rich grreasy foods
such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and
so on, finally broke down a stomach
and nerves that, by inheritance, were
sound and strong, and medicine did no
apparent good in the way of relief.
"My brain was clouded and dull and
I was suffering from a case of con
stipation that defied all remedies used.
" 'The Road to Wellville,' in some
providential way, fell into my hands,
and may Heaven's richest blessings
fall on the man who was inspired to
write it.
"I followed the directions carefully,
physical culture and all, using Grape
Nuts with sugar and cream, leaving
meat, pastry and hot biscuit entirely
out of my bill of fare. The result I
am in perfect health once more.
"I never realize I have nerves, and
my stomach and bowels are in fine
condition. My brain is perfectly clear
and I am enjoying that state of health
which God . intended his creatures
should enjoy, and which all might
have, by giving proper attention to
their food." "There's a Reason."

THE LEADING HOTEL
In the City of Great Hotels One
Easily Heads the list.
FACTS ABOUT THAT ONE
In a city like New Tork. which has
so many great hotels, it Is more dif
ficult than elsewhere to single but any
one and say "this is the leader." Con
census of opinion, however, favors that
one which, opening its doors to the
public in 1904, gave to the world a new
note in hotel life and set the mark of
hotel excellence so high that all others
must be content to follow for years to
come. Those familiar with New York
hotels of the twentieth century can
easily supply the name of this peerless
hotel. To others less fortunate it is
necessary to mention it the St. Regis.
Within the portals of this beautiful
hCuse. perfectly equipped, luxuriously
furnished, built as safe as human In
genuity can design and construct,
where absolute restfulness and comfort
are added to heretofore unknown gas
tronomic perfection, it is possible to
enjoy life to th-utmost.
The Hotel St. Regis stands at Fifth
Avenue and Fifty-fifth Street, upon the
finest city street in America and only
four blocks distant from the main en
trance to Central Park. Clustered
about it are far-famed private resi
dences, clubs and churches, while near
enough to be easily reached are the
city's high-class shopping districts and
its great amusement center. The noise
of traffic and the bustle of business
never disturbs, yet close at hand on
either side are surface, elevated and
subway lines leading to all parts of
the city.
One important fact is that the cost
of living in this elegant, homelike
house the leader among New York
hostelries is no greater than at other
first-class hotels. The best at a fixed
and fair charge is the unvarying rule
at the St. Regis.
