delinquent and a penalty of 10 per
cent is added. Nearly $175,000 is yet
to be collected by County Treasurer

year total S840,000, of which $665,000
has been collected. A large part of

the state as the county's share in the
state expenses.
Treasurer Tufts has collected the one
per cent a month penalty since April 1
as is required by the new tax law.
ROAD SUED FOR CATTLE
Portland Feeder Company Charges
Short Line With Lack or Care.
Failure to feed cattle en route
caused the animals to shrink In
weight, damaging their owners to the
extent of 82 a head, according to the
complaint filed by the Portland Feeder
Company in a suit against the Oregon
Short Line yeterday.
Two tralnloads of animals were
shipped on September 25 and 26. 1913,
from Hanson. Idaho, to Portland by the
plaintiff, according to the suit. One
of these trains was a consignment or
119 cows and the other 227 cows. At
Burley. Idaho, the first trainload was
driven into the corral near the track
to be fed on September 25. Because
the cows kicked out the loose gravel
from under the fence and made their
escape through that exit, the Feeder
Company says it lost 8920.
The roundup of the cows cost the
Feeder Company 825, the damages paid
to farmers upon whose property the
cows trespassed cost 840. according to
the document filed yesterday, and one
of the animals was not recaptured. It
being valued at 865.
The second carload was turned into
the corral the following day, and also
escaped. For each of the cows the
shippers ask 82 a head.
HOPS REACH NEW MARK
Mi r AT 19 CENTS IS HIGHEST OF
PRESENT YEAR.
Gain of Over 5 Cents Has Been Made
Since . European War Began,
and Price Are Firm.
The highest price of the year wa reached
yeaterday in the hop market, a sale of
40.000 pounds of thia year's crop being made
at 19 cents.
Yesterday's sale showed clearly the up
ward climb of Oregon hopa sine the
European war started. The market was at
12 f and 13 V centa previous to the outbreak
abroad. A gain of something over 5 cents
a pound his been scored, with indications
favoring a further climb, say hop dealers.
Buyers were out yesterday. It is stated,
with offers of 1S cents for the coming
crop, but there were no takers. The sale
at 19 cents will probably mark the opening
of a more active market at higher price
Cables from abroad reported the news
that the London market is advancing. This
is due to the growing belief that supplies
of hops for English brewers cannot be had
as uual from the Continent, and purchases
must be made at advanced prices.
Adolf Funk, of Saaz, Bohemia, a sales
man of imported hops to American brewers,
was in the city yesterday and said that
while he hai orders of American dealers
for German and Bohemian hops he cannot
now fill them because he is unable to make
deliveries and he la uncertain when this
can be accomplished because of the war.
Usually American brewers take about 40,
000 bales, American weight, of hops from
Continental Europe. This Importation, shut
off this year, makes an added demand fo
American hop here at home, while the wai
forces foreign countries usually supplied bj
Europe to turn to the American crop foi
supplies.
PACIFIC LOGGERS TO MEET
Sixth Annual Session to Be Held at
Belltngham, Wash., Next Week.
Indications are that the logging in
dustry of the Columbia River district
will be represented at the sixth annual
session of the Pacific Logging Con
gress, which will be held at Belling

man interest side of the work in the
woods will receive no little part of the
discussions.
In addition to the deliberative fea
tures, the delegates and visitors will
have occasion to enjoy themselves in a
social way. A cruise of Puget Sound
Saturday afternoon will conclude the
festlv''"" The railroads have "ranted

POTATO CROP SHORT
Oregon Yield Much Curtailed
by Dry Weather.
SHOWERS MUCH NEEDED
Neighboring States Have Large Sup
plies, However, and Prices Will
Probably Not Become
Excessive.
Potatoes are likely to go higher, not be
cause of the European war. but on account
of the continued dry weather of the Summer
that has caused a serious shortage in the
Oregon crop. Fortunately, however, neigh
boring states have good crops of tubers and
this will probably relieve conditions in this
market.
Estimates now being made of the potato
crop In Oregon are that there will be little
........ .,, hair the usual yield. Both early
and late potatoes have suffered severely
from the prevalent ary weatner.
u. ,.. ,...,...., i,,Mi...t In April, have
made light yields In most districts, due to
.k. - .u.. fli.rA n-n4 nn rain at that
season and growth was slow and unsatisfac
tory. Late potatoes, planted in june -July,
have had no rainfall whatever to help
them mature. The early crop has, In many
places, been round to nave oau umj
twn marketable potatoes to the hill. Reports
generally show light, small stock.
t... -.., .v ir now said to be in a bad
way because of the delayed rains. It has
been so dry that vines are apparently life
less and even If the much-needed rains come
now. It Is a question whether the plants will
revive sufficiently to help the situation any.
Vnless It rains within a week, the crop is
considered past help. Even should moisture
be forthcoming, it Is said the result will be
potatoes with small knobs on the sides it
growth is resumed, making a product that
is far from satisfactory in the markets.
Potatoes are firm, growers being paid
from $1 to $1.10 per 100 pounds. This is
for tho best stuff. One Front-street com-mlsslon-houso
has already sent five cars,
crated, to Alaska and three more will fol
low. This supply is always sent early so as
to reach the Alaskan markets before freezing
weather arrives in the North. Because of
the dry weather and the fact that potatoes
ripened early as a result, these shipments
have been made earlier than usual this
year.
Advices from Idaho are to the effect that
there will be double last year's crop in that
state. Around Idaho Falls, 2000 more acres
are said to be planted to potatoes than was
the case In that district last year. About
6000 cars were shipped from Idaho last sea
son and it is stated there will be 12.000 cars
sent away this Fall and Winter.
Yakima, also, is said to have a large
potato crop In prospect and California is
expected to have a good yield. The Oregon
consumer may not have to face unusually
high prices, but it appears that growers here
are likely to realize better prices for their
crop than might be expected If this state
had Its usual yield.
Onions are a fair crop In the state this
year, being about the same acreage and yield
as last season. Opening prices expected to
rule for local onions are about 11.10 per
100 pounds. There Is a good stock of Walla
Walla onions on hand, which are quoted at
a lower figure.
WAR AFFECTS BANANA TRADE
Fruit Is Firmer Locally Because Ship Are
Withdrawn From Trade.
The European war has had a direct ef
fect on the banana market on Front street,
among other food prices It has already In
fluenced. German ships engaged In the
carrying trade have been taken out of serv
ice, due to fear of capture, and as only
ships especially fitted with refrigerating ap
paratus can carry bananas, a shortage or
tonnage for the trade has resulted and
deliveries of fruit are shorter than usual
at the Importing centers.
Bananas came in large quantities to Port
land yesterday, four cars arriving, but prices
were firmer than have prevailed and are ex
pected to maintain a steadier tone.
A car of fine Crawford peaches came In
Trom Yakima in excellent condition. They
sold at 60 and 60 cents.
Lemons are In good supply on Front
street, and although firm at the advanced
prices. It is not thought likely they will
go higher, due largely to the end of the
heated season.
The apple market Is hard to clean up be
cause of such large quantities of inferior
stock. Some fruit Is selling as low as 25
and 35 cents a box, and the common stuff
Is hard to sell at any price. It seems no
body wants the low quality fruit, and dur
ing no recent season has It been so hard to
clean up the cheaper apples. Average ap
ples sell around 75 cents, with higher prices
for top stuff.
A car of sweet potatoes came in from
Merced yesterday. The new crop is selling
welL Tokay grapes were In from the south
and were In fine condition.
CALL FOB CONFERENCE IS OUT
Fruit and Vegetable By-product Industrie!
Will Be Discussed Here September 10.
'1 le call has been sent out for the con
ference at Portland. September 10, of all
Interested In the fruit and vegetable by
products industries in the Pacific Northwest.
It is Issued by the by-products committee,
appointed by the Fruit Products Congress,
held at Spokane last Winter.
Objects of the conference are to devise
ways and means to promote In every possible
way the fruit and vegetable Industries of
the Northwest states. At the gathering,
which is expected to be representative of
practical growers, packers, dealers and
other Interests, ways and means will be dis
cussed for bringing about better growing,
packing, marketing and other essentials to
building up the various industries that enter
Into the fruit and vegetable business, uni
form grading and packing are declared to
be essentials in the call Just sent out.
well as means for obtaining for the manu
factured products the best markets.
HIUE MARKET IS NOW UNSETTLED
Dealers in Quandary as To What War Will
Do To Trade.
There ia a chance that hides may be
cheaper in the United States as a result of
the European war, say dealers, but there
are other possibilities that may continue
the advance in leather prices here that the
war has already started, m
If Argentine hides, of which great quan
tities now go to Europe for treatment by
tanners there, are thrown instead on the
American market, there may be a lower
market. If. however, these hides are manu
factured into shoes here and the product
can be sold and delivered in Europe, the
demand is likely to be so strong that there
will be no lower prices at home.
Tanners have called a general meeting in
the East to consider tile situation and de
cide how best to meet war condition,
EFFECT OF WAR ON APPLE TRADE
Hope Is Expressed That Northwest Crop
Will Be Marketed.
SPOKANE. Aug. -0. (Special.) Just how
the European war will affect the North
western apple crop depends in a large
measure upon the growers themselves, ac
cording to J. H. Robblns. general manager
of the North Pacific Fruit Distributors, who
returned to Spokane this week after attend
ing the 20th annual convention of the In
ternationa: Apple Shippers' Association at
Boston and subsequently making a tour of
the leading marttet centers of the East and
Middle West. -
"If there is any demoralization of the
apple market it will come from the grow
ers themselves," declared Mr. Robbins. "Not
withstanding the seriousness of the situa
tion. I have a hopeful view that we shall
be able to market our supply successfully
under existing conditions, provided the
growers refrain from consigning their crops
and avoid a stampede. If we move the
fruit of te Northwest in an orderly way
there should be no disaster.
"The future will be determined largely o
further developments. It Is useless to fore
cast saeclflc efTects of the war. The dis
tributors are going right ahead to place
themselves in the most commanding position
possible, whatever turn affairs may take.

SPOT
COFFEE
QUOTED
LOWER
Laier Movements of Stocks From Brazil Is
Indicated.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. The spot coffee
market was lower again today, with Rio No.
7 quoted at T and Santos 4s at 13c. The
foreign exchaTTge situation, so far as finan
cial shipments from Brazil through London
are concerned, Is still very uncertain, but
it is reported that Brazil is showing more
disposition to offer coffee and it is rumored
that primary shippers have asked New York
credits. These features are supposed to point
to an increased movement in this direction
from Brazil in the near future and it was
said here today that Brazil had offered cost
and freight coffee to New Orleans at consid
erable concessions in prices.

WHEAT GAIN LOST
Dealers at Chicago in Waves
of Speculation.
MARKET GOES UP AND DOWN
Profit-Taking Sends Prices Lower
After Temporary Advances
in Wheat, Oats and
Provisions.
CHICAGO Aug. 20. Yesterday's gain in
wheat was lost on profit-taking sales today
and the close was weak 2 to net
lower Corn dropped weak, 2 to 214c net
provisions to 35c. the latter in January
pork. The market was almost purely specu-
'"wheat opened 'ic down, but recovered mo
mentarily and went ic over yesterda.) but
the firmness was a mere flurry. Thereafter
the trend was downward. Recent alleged
export sales were not confirmed.
The decline in corn was Influenced by the
rains, but the market was relatively steadier
than wheat. ,
France was reported In the market for
oats at the seaboard, but bids here were out
of line and profit-taking by speculators and
the persistent selling of a big elevator con
cern reduced the price. ,.,
Provisions also suffered from profit-taking,
although a shipping demand for lard de
veloped on the break. Expectation of a
freer movement of hogs next week also
was an influence.
Leading futures closed a. follows:
