CROPS NOWDEPEND
ON STDRIV1 LET-UP
Quality, Not Quantity, of Bar
ley and Wheat Most Af
fected to Date.
OATS DAMAGE IS SLIGHT
On Weather This Week Future of
Hay Rests Fruit Reports Favour
able Hops Xot Hurt, . bat
Growers Inconvenienced.
The extent of damage done to North
western crops by the rain will depend
on whether or not the storm continues.
Should the weather turn favorable the
loss may not be as great as anticipated,
but a week more of this weather will
be serious. Already some damage has
been done, but it concerns the quality
rather than the quantity of the crops,
which is unfortunate.
Reports received by local grain deal
ers yesterday from Eastern Oregon and
Eastern Washington were more encour
aging: so far as weather prospects were
concerned, but, all told of damage in
flicted on the crops. The amount -of
the damage, of course, could not be de
termined, and it will be some time yet
before an estimate of the loss can be
made. The progress of the harvest va
ries in different localities. In some sec
tions no loss at all was reported and
elsewhere much of the damage can be
repaired by proper precautions.
10 Per Cent Is Housed.
About 10 per cent of the wheat crop
Is believed to be housed and much that
is sacked and remains in the fields is
protected from the elements. At some
points sacked wheat in the .fields was
moistened and ' there were numerous
reports of grain sprouting where it was
not skillfully shocked.
Where the later harvesting has been
interrupted by the rain the farmers are
hopeful that a spell of clear weather
will enable them to complete the work,
but there is much apprehension that a
considerable amount of bleached wheat
wil be found.
The damage to the Tarley crop has
already been inflicted. The early rains
stained more or less of it and a smaller
proportion of bright brewing barley
than usual has been secured. It was
knowledge of this fact that led the
dealers a week ago to buy up the avail
able supply of uninjured barley at high
prices.
Harm to Oats In Less
Less harm has fallen to the oats crop
than to the other cereals. The oats'
harvest Is later and this grain is bet
ter able to stand rain than barley or
w heat. The fate of late-sown hay will
depend on weather conditions in the
next few days.
Prune growers fear their prunes may
crack, but otherwise the fruit crop has
suffered no injury at all. Reports from
the apple-growing districts are entire
ly favorable.
The hopgrowers are seriously incon
venienced by the rain, as it is kesping
pickers away from the yards. Pickers
are scarcer this year than they have
been for several years and even If the
weather were good some of the larger
growers would have difficulty in get
ting their crops picked in the usual
time. As it Is, the rain has kept many
persons who usually do this work from
applying for positions. A hopyard In
rainy weather is a dismal place and
only Indians. Japanese or Chinese will
pick under such circumstances. Un
fortunately for the growers, there are
few of this class of pickers to be had.
Quality and Quantity Good.
The rain is not seriously affecting the
plant. Where there is mold it results
mainly from the earlier aphis attack
and only in a few yards is it being
prolonged by the moisture.
Picking operations began in a num
ber of yards last week and would have
been general yesterday but for the rain.
The returns from the yards where har
vesting started are highly satisfactory
and Indicate that the crop may be ma
terially larger than was estimated. The
quality, taking the crop . as a whole,
promises to be good. ,
POLK COCNTY STORM SEVERE
Growers Fear Damage to Grain and
Hop Crops.
DALLAS, Or., Sept. 2. (Special.)
The hard rain that visited this sec
tion last Thursday abated somewhat
on Friday, but no time since then, with
the exception of a few hours yester
day, has the weather been clear. Last
night the storm broke out anew with
one of the hardest rain storms known
here. It has been raining hard here
all day today with thunder and light
ning intermingled. V
Kor about one hour this afternoon
the rain fell in torrents. It seemed as
though there had been a cloudburst.
Telephones are down all over the coun
ty. The fruit has not been damaged to
any great extent and it is believed
that if the rains should cease within
the next ten days the prune crop
will b! one of the best in years, though
the yield will not be quite so large
as it should be. The size and quality
are much better this year than evef
before.
All grain remaining unthreshed be
fore the rains commenced will prob
ably be damaged. When the storms
began, it was estimated that nearly
half the grain of the county remained
unthreshed. From the river districts
discouraging reports concerning hops
rontinue to pour in. It is said that in
many of the yards the mould has a
aood start. In the Dallas district very
little mould has as yet appeared.
Picking has been discontinued every
where. I'nless the rains stop within the next
few days the damage to crops in this
section of the state will be great.
OXIOX GROWERS ARE JUBILANT
be late this year, but a large crop is
expected.
Onions are a better crqp than for
several years, and the growers of
Washington County are jubilant over
the prospects.
MORE PICKERS ARE NEEDED
Lack of Help as Well as Rain Rc-
' , tards Independence Crops.
INDEPENDENCE, Or, Sept. 2. Spe
cial.) Hoppicking which started last
week has been retarded by the bad
weather. For several days there has
been rain.
Pickers were at work in most of the
yards yesterday, taking advantatge of
the better weather. There was a heavy
rain again last night and it continued
today. '
The hop crop this year is an unusu
ally heavy one and would bring large
returns, as most of the growers have
their hops contracted at. a good price.
The bad weather has not only made it
difficult for pickers to work, but" far
too few pickers have come in to take
care of the crop. The special trains
PORTLAND GIRL, PROTEGE OF
GEORGE RAKER, RETIRXS
IN ORPHEIM SKETCH.
Maude O'Delle.
Maude O'Delle, who is Just com
pleting her tour of the entire
Orpheum circuit in "The Hypo
crite," came to Portland in the
year of the Lewis and Clark
Fair as the wife of John A.
Clark, son of Portland's pioneer
saddler, and was put on the
stage by George L. Baker, who
at that time was holding forth
with his stock company at the
old Empire Theater, now the
Bungalow. She played - ingenue
roles here for a season, and is
extolled by Mr. Baker as one of
his most successful proteges.
Miss O'Delle is a cousin' of
Charles B. Ha nf ord. noted
Shakespearean actor, and ob
tained her first lessons in stage
craft from him. She was born
in Ohio on Abraham Lincoln's
birthday anniversary, and one of
her stage superstitions is to carry
a p h o t o g raph of the martyred
President, to whom she says she
prays as if he were her patron
saint. She came to Spokane when
only five years old, and it was
there that she became the wife
of Mr. Clark. Miss O'Delle is
not only an actress but a play
wright. "The A w a k e n I ng." a
sketch written by her, was pro
duced sucessfully in New York
last season. .
If Rains Cease, Forest Grove Crops
Will Escape General Damage.
FOREST GROVE. Or.. Sept. 2. (Spe
cial.') Owing to the continued rains
hoppicking has not commenced in this
section. Several of the larger yards
bad planned to start last week. Hop
men fear If the rains do not cease
within a couple of days part of the
yield will be destroyed. Hops In this
section are of a high quality, and if
picking can start at once the yield will
be far above the average.
Much of the grain is In tho shock,
and damage already has been reported.
It Is estimated that at least half of the
grain crop is now down, and unless the
weather changes a majority of this will
be ruined. The grain yield, including
wheat, oats, barley and rye, is excep
tionally large this year and of a good
quality.
The prune crop, which is light on ac
count of the several frosts in the late
Spring, has not been damaged by the
rains. The prune growers of the David
Hill section, whose crops were not in
jured by the frosts, predict an average
yield. The grapes on David Hill will
from Portland Saturday brought about
a third the number that had been ex
pected. The long continued rains are holding
up the threshing of grain in this vicin
ity. It is reported that much of the
grain in the shock is spoiling, and
wnere me oats are not growing in
the shock the grain is being discolored.
M'MINNVILLE WORK HALTED
Excellent Clover Crop Not Damaged,
Hoppicking Continues.
M'MINNVILLE, Or.. Sept 2. (Spe
cial.) With a third of the grain not
threshed and all the machines lying
idle on account of the continued rains
the farmers of Yamhill County will
be delayed in their Fall work and may
sustain some loss. The picking of
hops has also received a check, yet
every yard has a crew picking, and as
long as the pickers are willing the
hops will be gathered regardless of
rain.
Showers have frequently fallen for
several days. It will require several
days of dry weather before threshing
can be renewed. The rain has not
damaged clover seed, of which there
is a large acreage and an excellent
yield. No hopgrowers have reported
any Indications of mold, which is gen
erally the result of heavy rain.
Grants Pass Rain Begins.
GRANTS PASS, Or.. Sept. 2 (Spe
cial.) ine first rain or the season be
gan this morning and tonight is in
creasing. Most of the crops are safe.
Some growers are In. the midst of pick
ing, which will last two weeks longer,
however. If rain continues for several
days the crop will be injured by mold.
Deep, dusty roads that menaced auto
travelers have been settled and here'
after traveling will be good in South

CHEHAUS, Wash.. Sept. 2. (Spe

was general in Lewis County. There
is an immense acreage of . grain still
standing in the fields. Much of this
is cut. The grain is In shocks and
some has been stacked. Threshermen
have been running their machines day
and night and have made good head
way in saving the crop. Much of the
grain will be damaged in coloring.
Showers Halt Pickers.
EUGENE. Or.. Sept. 2. (Special.)
Heavy showers today caused entire ces
sation of hoppicking in Lane County,
but growers are preparing to take ad
vantage of any moment suitable for
picking. Much grain is still in the
shock and will be damaged if rain continues.

Deckhand Goes Overboard and
Drowns Instantly; Heroic Effort
to Save Victim Filled by
Weak Suspenders. '
On her arrival here last night the
steamer Norma, owned by the bpoKane,
Portland A Seattle Railroad, has com
pleted a run from the farthest interior
uoint to Portland of any vessel duih
above Celilo. She successfully nego
tiated the rapids from above Tenino to
The Dalles Saturday and proceeded
here and the only damage sustained
was on the starboard side, opposite the
flreroom, where a hole about four feet
wide and 14 feet long was knocked in
her hull through having struck a sharp
rock. She was kept afloat through the
fact that her hull Is bulkheaded.
With the Norma was one of the ferry
barges built last year by Joseph Supple
for the Hill interests, on which trains
were transferred across the Upper
Columbia before the Oregon Trunk
bridge at Celilo was finished. The
Norma went through the rapids first
and her crew returned for the barge.
When it floated into the Bis Eddy
George B. Grossman, a deckhand, lost
his balance because she grounded and
fell overboard, being drowned before a
boat could reach him, though it was in
the water and to the spot In less than
a minute. u
Suspendera All But Save.
Grossman and Art Davis, mate of the
Norma, were side by side, hanging to
lifelines that were stretched along the
hogposts, and as the shock was felt
and Grossman lost his balance, Davis
caught the latter's suspender, but it
broke and he dropped into the water.
Grossman belonged to the Deckhands'
Union and is said to have been trans
ferred to the organization recently from
the Puget Sound district. ie was
about 22 or 23 years of age and nothing
is known of his family.
The Norma was built near Bridge
port Idaho, in 891. by Jacob Kamm,
the pioneer steamboatman, and in May,
1895. in charge of Captain W. P. Gray.
she was navigated to Lewiston. Pre
vious to her trip the steamer Shoshone
made the same run, but probably a
Quarter of a century before. Captain
Gray 'built an extra bulkhead in the
Norma and tilled her lorward noia witn
cordwood and . she made, the voyage
through Hell Canyon without serious
damage.
It was her bulkheads that Kept ner
above water after striking below Ten
ino Rapids and she will be hauled out
at the yards of the St. Johns Shipbuild
ing Company for repairs. The barge
will also be caulked there and given
minor attention. The latter will be
used for carrying materi.ll for a short
time by the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany, which has the Broadway bridge
contract
Norma Intended Ferry.
The original intention In bringing the
Norma and the barges here was to
transport cars fromthe West Side to
the East Side terminals of the Hill
lines. As the Hill and Harriman inter
ests have practically agreed on terms
for the rail transfer, the scheme may
not be carried out. but the vessels will
be held until it Is certain. Should a
water transfer be adopted slips will be
built at the terminals and on land
bought north of the East Side approach
of the Hawthorne-avenue bridge, su the
barges can land easily.
Early in the Summer the Norma made
the first leg of the journey through the
Celilo Rapids, but could not pass into
mer, it will not do for the stormy
period unless steps are taken to drive
permanent piling and arrang for
heavy anchors.
Last year the Boston -was made fast
at the city levee, at the foot of Jef
ferson street but the Commission of
Public Docks charged forthe privilege
and members of the Militia are in favor
of finding a berth where such expense
will be nlL Executives of the Harri
man system have been approached for
permission to have the vessel lay en
the East Side, near the Steel bridge.
This privilege may be granted if a
raised runway is built to cross the
tracks so members of the organiza
tion will not be in danger or trains
delayed through their maneuvers.
DREDGE TO HATE STEEL HXLL
When Columbia Is Rebuilt New Ma
terial Will Be Demanded
So pleased are members of the Port
of Portland Commission with the gains
that have been made with the dredge
Willamette over the Columbia in vibra
tion, because the former has a steel
hull, that S. M. Mears, presldent.of the
Commission, says he thinks that when
the wooden hull of the Columbia is sur
veyed finally and a new one ordered,
steel will be specified.
On the upper deck of the Willamette
there Is a decided absence of vibration
when the engine and pumps are work
ing, and those who attended on the
test run Saturday remarked the fact
The dredge Portland, which is the
smallest and was the first built by the
Commission, will not be shifted to a
steel hull, according to present plans,
as her days are numbered. When she
can be spared from work on the chan
nel she will be' brought to the harbor,
and probably as long as she is fitted
for service will dredge within the con
fines of the city.
BARGE CONTRACT AWARDED
Portland- Yard Starts on Craft for

One of the latest marine contracts
awarded is that of the Willamette
Pulp & Paper Company to the Port

construction of a barge 115 feet long
and with a beam of 30 feet. It is in
tended for conveying pulp material at
Oregon City.
Little is being done at . Portland

Dock Board Will Discuss Individual
Cases on Water-Front.
Apparent confusion on the part of
property owners having been found
bearing on an ordinance passed and en
forced in a large measure by Harbor
master Speler. backed by the Council
and Commission of Public Docks
for the vacation . of numerous
street ends, the subject is to form part
of the proceedings at Thursday's ses
sion of the latter, when it is thought
that the relinquishment of the space
at the water front termination of all
thoroughfares will be hurried.
While property owners occupying
premises adjacent to some streets have
vacated, others have piles of old gear
and machinery left untouched and more
are countenancing the use of space
beneath slips leading to upper docks
for housing poultry and horses, also
as storage places. It is the aim of the
municipal authorities to clear the
streets first but also to compel the
removal of all objectionable sheds
beneath the roadways to insure better
sanitary conditions.

French, delegate from the Oregon
Jewelers Association, who returned to
his home in this city Saturday night.
Tne abrogation ot some of the old
est customs in the jewelry trade was
recommended by the association at this
convention. Among other things it
was recommended that all forms of
time guarantees by manufacturers be
eliminated.
'Several most important changes in
trade methods were . recommended,"
said Mr. French. "Not only were plans
outlined to protect the legitimate es
tablishment against fraudulent dealers,
which in itself tends directly to pro
tect purchasers from fake' concerns,
but steps were taken also to have
laws enacted in all of the states of the
Union to protect both dealers and pur
chasers from fraudulent manufactur
ers. It is the purpose of this associa
tion, and an effort which all legitimate
jewelers indorse, to place the trade
on a basis where, people will not suf
fer through the operations of fraudu
lent dealers and thus think that all
Jewelers are 'fakers.'
'The elimination of all time guaran
tees by manufacturers, which is a cus
tom as old as the trade, was recom
mended. Now, when manufacturers
guarantee the case or works of a
watch for a certain number of years
the public has no means for knowing
whether or not the guarantee of the
manufacturer Is good. If those goods
are handled by fraudulent dealers the
public is cheated by this guarantee.
The association deemed it much better
to have manufacturers leave off their
time guarantees on watches, etc., en
tirely, but to guarantee them to deal
ers and then people' would purchase
from permanent, reliable dealers, who
would give their personal time guar
antee. Thus a reliable jeweler would
not handle goods without a good guar
antee from the manufacturer -and a
dealer whose personal guarantee would
not be good could not handle cms line
of goods successfully. The purpose of
this proposed change Is to place tne
guarantee on someone the public
knows and on whom it could rely to
make good.
"The association also recommended
to each of the state organizations that
they appoint state examining boards
for watchmakers similar to the boards
for the examination of physicians, and
then the public would be protected
from incompetent workmen.
"The enactment of law requiring all
manufacturers to place an identifica
tion mark on all their goods was rec
ommended. Under such a law if a per
son bought a ring which purported to
be 14-carat, the manufacturer, whose
name would be stamped on it, would

be fined unless It measured up to the The prune crop In this part of the
standard it represented. Some states
have such laws now and. the National
Association hopes to see them enacted
everywhere for the protection of both
dealers and purchasers.
"All trades are now condemning the
fraudulent advertiser, and the jewelers
especially, desire to have laws enacted
which will prevent advertisements that
misrepresent. At the convention cata
logue houses also were strongly de
nounced. It being the general opinion
that it is necessary that people pat
ronize home merchants if their com
munity is to be built up. The general
custom of patronizing catalogue houses
will ruin any community.
"That a wireless time service
throughout the entire country will soon
be realized was the opinion expressed
at the convention. Instead of receiv
ing official time over telegraph wires,
as now, watchmakers everywhere
would then receive the time from the
Government stations by wireless."
The National Association will meet
next year in Chicago.
Albany Prunes Not Injured.
ALBANY, Or, Sept. 2. (SpeciaXl-
state has not been damaged seriously
oy tne recent rains, according to the
general opinion of fruitgrowers. The
petite prunes, which were ripe when
the rains came, suffered severely, how
ever few of them are grown in this
section of the valley. Almost all of
the prunes raised in the orchards near
this city are of the Italian variety and
owing to the fact that thero was so
much unusually cool weather this Bum
mer the Italian prunes were not ripe
enough to suffer from the rain. So
from present indications most of the
prune crop will be saved without
damage.
