Charles E. McDoneli. Colonel of the
Third Regiment, Oregon National Guard,
has decided to withdraw his verbal resig
nation from the service. There will be
no shortage in his accounts of the state
and regimental funds, the balance due on
the former being reported as nominal and
the amount accruing in behalf of the regi
ment as shown In the foregoing table
being 1328.65, which Is scheduled to , be
turned over to the Board of Officers In
its regular meeting tonight. These were
the developments yesterday In the mili
tia muddle and. embodied in a statement
to the public to be drafted by Colonel
McDoneli, they augur the close of fort-
land's sensational military chapter.
"My feelings on resignation remain the
same, but I can t resign now.
This statement, made by Colonel M;
Donell last night, inferred he had taken
counsel from friends as reported and de
cided to remain at the head of the Third
Regiment and court investigation, which
Genera! Finzer deemed the conduct of his
office warranted as far as his bookkeep
ing methods were conceraei.
That the Colonel's books were In "an
awful tangle" was a statement made by
a member of the military establishment
last night this declaration being followed
by the assertion "The accounts are coming
out all right and thus far are absolutely
straight."
That Colonel McDonell's brother of
ficers made figures lie In their statements
in his behalf It seems apparent from the
totals that form his report on the regi
mental fund.
"The regimental fund seldom exceeds
11500 or 11600 a year, was a frequent
statement by subalterns of Colonel Mc
Doneli. The final report shows the fund
accumulated at the average rate of Hot?
a month, and from January 1 this year
down to date had attained a total of
16779.14.
"In the state fund the balance due will
be very little," said Inspector-General
Jackson yesterday, "and there is no ques
tion that Colonel McDoneli will put it
up and square the whole thing. '
Tonight at the Armory the -Board of Of
ficers comprising the civil part of the
militia will take up the subject of the
Investigation of Colonel McDonell's ac
counts, which had its Inception last Sat
urday In a hurried meeting of the Cap
tains of the regiment. At this meeting
It Is believed the tangle will be disposed
of. and it is hinted in militia circles) an
official statement of the result of the
Investigation will rot be made until then
Although Inspector-General Jackson is
already scrutinizing Colonel McDonell's
accounts with the state, he is not due to
report his findings until August 23, and
Colonel McDoneli, by the same order that
directed this- investigation, is instructed
to turn over state funds in his keeping
the evening of August 26 In the Armory.
Colonel McDoneli is preparing a state
ment for the public which may be ready
this afternoon, but it is probable his ex
planation of the investigation surround
Ing his verbal resignation will be de
ferred until after the meeting of the
Board of Officers tonight

ASTORIA, Or.. Aug. 16. (Special.)
The schooner Alvena, which has been

been a great factor In that nroereaa unri
development.
Our country Is the most foremost and
most potential on the earth, and the old

Yard Near Independence Largest in
State and Many Attractions Are
Arranged for Convenience and
Enjoyment of Workers.
Hoppicking will begin earlier than usual
In Oregon this year. The season gen
erally has been considered a late one, but
the hop plant is a rapid grower and with
the wet Summer has more than made up
for lost time.
Krebs Bros., who own the largest hop
yard In the state, near Independence, will
secure their pickers in this city and will
Bend them to the big yard on August 26.
They will begin picking either on August
27 or 28. In previous years growers did
not think of picking their hops before
September 1 and some never began be
fore September 10.
The Oregon hop crop will be about as
large this year as last year and the
same number of pickers will be required.
Hop men who have been through the
yards say It will be a profitable crop to
pick from the harvest bands' standpoint
as the foliage is light and the hops are
heavier than usual, the wet season hav
ing filled them with lupulln.
The ik.rebs yard will furnish employ
ment for 1000 persons. All of them will
be engaged In Portland and they will be
sent to Independence on a special train
of U coaches, leaving this city on the
morning of August 26. Conrad Krebs
opened an office in the Worcester build
ing yesterday for the signlng-up of the
pickers.
There are 44U acres in hops on the Krebs
place. Eighty acres are In early hops
and on these picking will begin first. The
crop is the largest the farm has ever
produced. About 200 acres will go a ton
to the acre, and the remainder will yield
from 1200 to 1500 pounds to the acre.
The price of picking has been fixed this
year by Krebs Bros, at Jl per 100 pounds
