SNAPSHOTS OF CITY COUNCIL ON TRIP TO BULL RUN HEADWORKS AND SOME OF PROJECTS IN- CdCIL INSPECTS WORK HI BULL RUN LADD & TIL-TON BANK England May Produce No Crop This Year. Established 183a. 4v HOP YARDS GRUBBED Expenditure of $20,000 Made and About $100,000 More Will Be Needed. ROAD AND BUNKS FINISHED Tnm and "Screen House" Troposcd. Reservoir to Hold 500,000.000 Gallons and Add to Carrying Capacity of Two Pipe Lines. Improvements completed recently in Bull Run Canyon by the water bureau, at a ct of about JO.Oon. and other improvements proposed for this year at a cost of about $100,000 were inspected yesterday by the City Council in an all-day trip to the Bull Kun hcadworks. The projects inspected were the recently-completed plank road from Bull Run "station to the hradworks. a dis tance of five miles; a grroup of cot taites. barns and a lodging-house built for the use of employes at the head works, and the site of the proposed concrete dam and "screenhousc" at the water Intake, to cost about $100,000. The trip was taken by all members f the Council and a number of of ficials and employes of the water bu reau. The party was conducted by City Commissioner Paly, at whose instiga tion the inspection was made. The pur pose was to show the Council as a whole the improvements made at the hoadworks and the need for the con struction of the proposed "screenhouse" and dam to increase the "head" of water. New Road Traveled. The party left Portland at o."clock In four automobiles. The trip was made bv TowM Valley road and over the Lusted HiAroad to Bull Run. where the new road into the reserve, built by tho city, starts. For five miles from the edKC of the Bull Run reserve to the headivorks the new plank road winds up and down hills to the head works. For years the road had been Impassable for automobiles or teams during the Winter. Yesterday the Council went over the road at a speed of 30 miles an hour. The plank road cost about JS000. It has made it possible for supplies to be taken to the headworks quickly. Here tofore during; the Winter months it has been necessary for employes at the headworks to carry their supplies in on their backs. The road, which is for the exclusive use of the hcadworks em ployes and for Government forest rangers, courses a beautiful country, rising at some places nearly a quarter mile above Bull Run River. Bankhonse Replaces Shacks. At the headworks the Council In apected a series of new buildingrs which have been erected at a cost of $11,000 for the use of the headworks employes. The sroup includes three fine cottages, three barns and a large bunkhouse. or "barracks." for the use of laborers. These buildings take the place of three shacks,- which were the only accommo dations theretofore. At the headworks the Council was shown over the site of the proposed new concrete dam and "screenhouse." At present a part of Bull Run River is taken into two pipelines by means of a concrete flume extending out into the river. The water runs down this flume about 100 yards, where it passes through a series of screens and then Into the two carrying lines. Reservoir to Hold 16-Day Supply. It Is proposed to construct a con crete dam 30 feet in height from the head of this flume completely across Hull Run canyon. By means of this a natural reservoir will be formed for L'OOO feet of the deep, narrow canyon. The reservoir so constructed would store about 500.000.000 gallons of water, or enough to last Portland about 16 days If the water supply from all other sources should be cut off sud denly. It Is proposed also to replace the present screen house with a new and more modern plant. The dam and screen house will cost approximately $100,000. The new arrangement in addition to conserving the water supply will give the pipe lines an increased head, which will add materially to the amount of water the two pipes will carry. After the inspection trip the Council TCuii Run station for din ner. On the trip the roads in many places were found to De in exceedingly bad condition. The Council was grati fied, however, over the excellent con dition of the new five miles of plank road through the reserve, ALLEGED FORGER TAKEN nay S.

Bashes Set Oat Are Estimated at 100, OOO, 'While 'W crHs Spoken as Trib utes Wnald Reach 56 Miles. Roses and patriotism mingled in Port land's observance of Washington's birth day yesterday. A liberal estimate is that 100.000 rose bushes were pianiea throughout the city and its vicinity. Trie roses, if planted in one immense hedge, would reach 56 miles, some sta tistician has figured. Patriotic addresses at banquets, to the school children, at the churches and elsewhere, it was stated by the same authority, would, if the words were placed end to end. cover approximately the same distance. The City Beautiful committee fol lowed up its "cleanup day" on the an niversary of the birth of President Lin coln with Rose-planting day yesterday. Thousands of the bushes were deliv ered yesterday to bring a wealth of bloom to the city. Flags were displayed in honor of the Father of His Country in all parts of Portland. The Postofhce closed at noon. the City Hall was closed, as was the Courthouse. Many banks and other in stitutions ceased business.

LAND NEEDED FOR WHEAT Plowing XTp Also Ordered in German Hop-Growing Districts Pacific Coast May Be Called Upon to Supply Entire "World. raKi,. rnr.lvAil from London yesterday said that the plowing up of English hop- yards had started, and that operations gi the same kind were under way in uermany , .... ..-., n t Vi. Continent. In Its effect on the American market this may prove to be the most important develop ment in the hop trade In many years. The news occasioned no surprise nere, as mere had been intimations lor some time mm .nn. wmilrl be nursued. The object of grubbing up the hops Is to provide more acreage for wheat p ranting. ji tno war continues England. Germany and Austria ,ni have Tnom need for wheat than for hops. While the changing of crops la no doubt In compliance with, government or ders, the growers will hardly offer objec tions, as hop raising, particularly In Eng land, has not been profitable in recent years, where as wheat growing in those countries Mmiaaa 4n h -rcedtnlv remunerative. If the EngliBh crop snouia oe materially reduced and Germany, Austria, Helgium, Alsace-Lorraine and France practically elim- in.t.il aa ontirrea of sunnlv It will be up to the Paciflo Coast to produce nesrly all the hops the world win require. There is little doubt that the heavy Eng lish buying of late, which has absorbed most In the Northwest and made heavy inroads on California supplies, has i ,1.. nnmnsii fit atoeklns UD against Just such conditions as are now developing. Current Coast prices are not only reasonaoio but decidedly low In view of the clrcura-.-,.,o onn th, .Rnarllsh dealers and brew ers can well afford to lay In reserves against the future, even with the bumper E,ngiisn w. n la at vnr. With prices tending upward Oregon grow ers are slow sellers of 1914s and 1915s. The only transactions reported yesterday were the purchase by the F. S. Johnson Company of 49 bnles from O. A.

Proctor bought the Wright & Butcher crop of Sonomas at cents, i. W. Storey sold 74 bales of 1913 Sonomas at in ...t. -T T. Peterson, of Sonoma, con tracted with Richardson for 60,000 pounds at 12 cents, one year. Reporting on the stronger tcnaency oi m English market, London dealers' circulars just received by mall say: Wild, Neame At Co. There has been a strong demand during the week and values have advanced. Available stocks have been considerably reduced and the market gen erally Is very firm. Thornton sc Manger A large business was done last week and prices have improved, today's range of value being 75s to 90s per hundredweight. W. H. & H. LeMay The trade noted in our last continues and prices have again hardened for all classes of good copper hops. The shortage in the supply is showing Itself very much. Manger & Henley A strong and active de mand has prevailed during the past week and a large clearance has been effected in the small stocks available. Prices havs ad vanced about 10s per hundredweight, and present indications point strongly to higher figures for the few hops left. Worcester The trade has been more brisk during the past week, and several lots have been sold at advancing prices. Buyers still prefer the cheaper grades ot hops, on which the rise in value is most pronounced. WHEAT ACREAGE IS INCREASED. United States, Canada, Italy and India Add to Pbsnted Area. The January number of the Bulletin of Agricultural and Commercial Statistics Isj sued by the International Institute of Ag riculture publishes reports oa sowing and the condition of Winter cereal crops in the Northern Hemisphere. Regarding the extent of crops, there is an increase in the area cultivated in com parison with tho 1014 area for wheat in Italy (5,000,000 hectares, an Increase of 9 per cent), in Canada t523.65tt hectares, an increase of 33 per cent), in tho United States (16.698.723 hectares, an Increase of 11 per cent) and In India (11.611.S88 hec tares, an Increase of 22 per cent). For the present, crop conditions are not generally stated to be abnormal. For wheat the 1914-1916 harvest forecasts are given for Argentina, Chill and Aus tralia, the total present crop In all these countries being estimated at 66.847,607 quln- ,. onmnareri with 62.532.000 in 1013-1911, or 107.1 per cent. The excellent yield of Argentina and Chill largely compensates for the reduced crop In Australia. The Bulletin reproduces the date, brought up to date and completed, for the produc tion of cereals, potatoes, flax, cotton, sugar beet and vines In 1914. In the case of wheat, rye, barley, oats and maize the modifications and additions with respect to the previous Bulletin are not notable. The production of rice for the group of coun tries Bulgaria, Spain, Italy. United States. India, Japan and Egypt Is 3S0.456.S00 quin tals, - against 377,666.531 in 1913, or 100.7 per cent. The agricultural part of the Bulletin concludes with, data from the last fiv stock censuses In Egypt and in Denmark. The data for the latter country are espe cially important on account of the notable increase revealed in the number of stock at the census of July 15. 1914. compared with the number at the preceding census of July 15. 1909. BEAN CROP 'WILL BE LARGE. Market for Spot Stocks Is In a Strong Position. The outlook for the 1915 crop, of Cali fornia beans covering all varities is most encouraging in the opinion of J. M. Water man, of Los Angeles, a prominent factor in the development of the bean Industry. "The rains have been ample," he said, better than the averago. and lands are in the best condition possible. In addition to natural advantages, fsrmers are assured of better results because of ths adoption of more up-to-date methods In the planting and cultivation of crops. "Because of the great demand, unprece dented in ths history of the Industry, the cultivation of all kinds of beans In Cali fornia will be oa a much larger scale this year than ever before. The acreage planted to beans will be the largest In history." As to lima beans. In which Mr. Water man is one of the biggest of the Pacific Coast factors, he said that what he had stated lth reference to Coast beans In general applied equally to this variety. There will be an Increased acreage, and under the favorable conditions now existing there should be a big crop, provided there Is no setback to Its development later. The stocks of limas left- on the Coast out of the 1914 crop, Mr. Waterman said, though double those at this time a 'year ago, r Capital and Surplus Commercial and not excessive, and the matcstlons are that they will be cleaned up before the new sea son opens. "While prices on dried lima beans have gone up in sympathy with the advance in small beans," he contlnuea. tney in. not high compared with quotations on the latter and other foodstuffs. 1 look for a strong, but no higher market for California dried lima beans in the near future." APPLE DEMAND CONTINIE9 LARGE. Oraage Market Is Firm and I-emons Are Weak -Scarcity oi ohmum. The apDle movement on the street was resumed with th opening ot business, as the special retail sale will be continued throughout the week. Thers was also a good demand for oranges and the market was firm. Lemons, on the other hand, were weak. The tramp car of bananas due yesterday Is making slow time and will not arrive until Wednesday. In the meantime. the market Is rather bare. A car each of celery, head lettuce and mixed vegetables arrived yesterday and most lines were firm. A car of sweet po tatoes Is due today. Shipping Trade ta Eggs Checked. Efforts to sell eggs In the North were not as successful yesterday as In the latter part of last week, and with support with drawn tho market was easier. 1'riccs were not well established. A few sales were re ported at -0 cents snd business was slso done at SI cents. Receipts were fairly large. Poultry and dressed meats were steady, the moderate arrivals cleaning up at Satur day's prices. Butter and cheese were unchanged. Holiday in Wheat Market. Yesterday being a holiday there was no session of the Merchants' Exchangs and little effort was made by dealers to tran sact business in the outside markets. PORTLAND MARKET QUOTATIONS Grain, Flour.
