HOP OUTLOOK BAD ii Big Dealer Holds Out No Hope for Market. ' MACHINE TO DO PICKING Xew Apparatus Sow Being Perfect ed "Will Do Away With Employ ment for Thousands, Says E. Clemens Horst. There is no hope for the hop market and no hope for the hop-picker. This is the opinion E. Clemens Horst, of San Francisco expressed yesterday. As for the market, he has arguments to prove It Is top heavy and will continue so this season. As for the humble hop picker. Mr. Horst has put him out of business with his picking machine. "Clem" Horst is the central figure in the hop trade of the world. He Is the largest dealer in America and the largest grower anywhere, with yards In California. Oregon, British Columbia and Australia. When conditions are favorable his yards will produce 30.000 bales of hops In a year, or about a third of what the entire state of Oregon grew this season. He does not confine his selling operations to the United States but does a big business in Eng land, in fact, was the first American dealer to invade the English market and sell hops direct to the English brewers. He is one of a family of three remarkable brothers, all of them in the hop business. Paul R. G. Horst. who Is of a speculative disposition, bought over a million dollars worth of hops on the Coast two years ago, pay ing as high as 20 cents a pound for some of them. He has got most of them yet and they are worth about a cent a pound. In spite of his reverse, he is still actively In business. Louis Horst fared better In his ventures and bought an estate. in Germany. He is now Baron Louis von Horst and does a big business with American and Eng lish brewers. v New Machine Ills Hobby. . E. Clemens Horst's hobby now Is. his hop-picking machine. It is the great est labor-saving device of recent years, he says. It is going to deprive thous ands of persons of agreeable and pro fitable employment. If-a success it will destroy the one picturesque feature of the hop Industry and so far as can be figured out, will be of no benefit to anyone except the possessor of the ma chine and the brewer, who will proba bly get his hops cheaper because of it. But the world moves and modern meth ods must prevail in hop growing as in other industries. Mr. Horst talks freely of his machine but not to the extent of letting anyone know how It is constructed. He de clares, however, that It is an absolute success. The first machine built was tried last year on his yard in British Columbia, where he grows hops for the Canadian trade and does not have to pay duty on his sales. Then he sent it to Australia and gave It a second test and this Summer brought it to California where it had a final tryout. Forty machines were built tp harvest his big California yards. One of the machines Mr. Horst brought to Oregon and it Is now at his yard at Eola. Some changes In the machinery were necessary to adapt it to the Oregon hop vine These changes have been made and the machine will be started in a day or two on Oregon hops. No one has been permitted to see the apparatus, as it is kept under cover and a watchman with a loaded shotgun is said to be on guard over It night and day. Picks 5000 Ponnds an Hour. "The machine has picked 5000 pounds of hops in an hour," said Mr. Horst yester day. "As one man can only pick 10 to 15 pounds in an hour, you can see that It Is going to revolutionize the hopgrowing in dustry. Its great feature is that it solves the labor problem, the most vexatious and expensive thing the hopgrower has to con tend with. In California the labor prob lem Is more serious than here, as the Oregon hop-pickers are a better class of people, but nevertheless the hop-picking machine has come to stay. All our Coest hops will hereafter be machine picked." With hand picking it costs the grower 7 to 9 cents a pound to put hops in the bale. The machine, it is said, will do the work for 3 to 4 cents. Mr. Horst was not prepared to say how soon the machine will come into general use. Just now he Is giving all his atten tion to perfecting It. Of the future of the hop market, a sub ject of vital Importance to so many Ore gon fanners, Mr. Horst holds out no hope whatever. , "There are too many hops in the world, and that Is all 'tthere Is to 'it," he said. "The American crop is short, but the foreign crop la heavy and cheap. The English crop is twice as large as It was two years ago, and half again as large as last year. English 1908 hops are selling at prices equal to 8 to 10 cents here, the average qualities of good, sound, clean hops at a little less than 8 cents. There are 40.000 bales of American hops now in England that can be relmported to the United States free of duty. The exports of new American hops to England will not be as large as the Imports of German hops and the reimportation of American hops. American brewers are now well stocked with hops, and, although prices are low, the prohibition movement deters them from adding to their present sup plies. Therefore the short American yield this year is without effect on the market. Last year we all thought prices could go no lower than they were then, but they are lower now I bought hope today at G cents which proves that the hop market has no bottom." Regarding the agitation started in Cali fornia for an Increase In the tariff on foreign hops, Mr. Horst eald: "The American growers will gain more by bringing to the attention of our brew ers the merits of home-grown hops than by raising tiie duty on Importations. Too many German hops are used in this coun try, the German Imports In four years amounting to more than one year's American requirements. When the American brewer can be taught that our hops are as good as the German's, it will be Uetter for all of us. The United States Department of Agriculture Is now engaged In this educa tional work." SALE KIDGLOVES. Two-claBp French kid gloves, best 11.50 grade on sale today at 93c a pair.

CUT UNDER RAILROADS Strongest JLInes on Atlantic and Pa cific Form Alliance for Traffic . by Tehuantepec Route With the Eastern Coast. a A x- UDiVCIfiPO Sunt 95. Accord ing to announcement made today, seven Atlantic steamship companies ana tnree lines operating on the Pacific Coast have concluded a traffic agreement for the handling of freight direct from San Fran cisco and other Pacific Coast points to Europe by way of the Isthmus of Tehu antepec in competition with the trans continental railroads. The steamship companies have begun their contest for a portion of this busi ness by declaring a schedule of rates from 15 to 30 per cent lower than those previously In force. Freight from San Francisco is to be distributed at Euro pean points in from 30 to 45 days, which it Is maintained, Is quicker service than can be had through railroad companies compelled to transship at New York. On the Pacific side the trade will be carried by the American-Hawaiian line, the Cosmos Company and the Canadian Mexican lines. Freight will be delivered to vessels of the West India Atlantic conference lines. Including the Com panle Generale Trans-Atlantlque, Cora pania Trans-Atlantlca. the Cumban line, the Hamburg-American, the Harrison and International of LJverpool and the Royal Mail of London. The first cargoes under the new agreement have already been shipped. A. M. Sutton, general agent for the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company confirmed the reports of the alliance of the steamship lines flying the flags of live different countries and stated that It will shorten by nearly half the time now required on the oil-ocean route to European ports.

To them I have actually illustrated in the cure of their own cases the truth of what I claim, namely, that my treatment is as certain to cure as it is that the patient engages my services and follows my directions. My success is due not alone to education, experience, skill and scientific equipment, but to the fact that I limit my study and'practice strictly to diseases and weaknesses of men. To male maladies atone I have earnestly and exclusively devoted 25 years of my life and on them all my faculties are concentrated.
