HOPS
NOT
INJURED
BY RAIN STORM
Harvest Delay Only Loss to
Valley Industry.
CROP MAY BE BENEFITED
Growers More Concerned With In
active Condition of Market; Early
1'orcign Buying Xot Likely.
TTrp picking hai ben resumed In all
auctions after the rain. . Orowers fisture
that they lost on the average about four
days' time because ot the storm.
The reports in some quarters of serious
damage to the crop make experienced hop
men smile. They expect rain In picking
time and calculate as the only los the
harvest delay. The storm this year did not
last long enough to drive the pickers home
from the yards. The rain, if anything,
was beneficial to the crop in filling out
the hops and giving them longer time to
rlp-en. In only a few yards were there
reports of vines being blown down. As
for the qdallty being injured top growers
have no fears.
What Is worrying the growers more than
the rain storm is the inactivity of the
market. The demand, never strong at any
tinra, has almost entirely subsided and
with the dullness there is the usual talk
of weakness. One or two buyers were out
yesterday offering 50 cents, but they could
not get a "hearing. Some of the farmers
have set their minds on 75 cents and oth
ers hope to get ttO or 63 cents. Conse
quently when the lower prices ane offered
the grower merely proceeds with his har
vest work, determined to hold! bia hops
until the market gets better.
The outlook for early English business
la not considered good. The foreigners
have already contracted for a large part
of the American crop, and the present
condition of the foreign exchange market
makes new business almost impossible.
The home trade win need a lot of hops,
but there Is no sign of orders from this
quarter just now.
Most dealers estimate the Oregon crop
at a maximum of 50,000 bales, and the
estimated yields in other states have aleo
been cut down from the preliminary figures.

Letter to Governor Olcott Says
AVork Will Xot Be Resumed
Until After Conference.
SALEM, Or.-, Sept. 15. f Special.)
The Crown Willamette Taper com
pany, which has had a crew of men
at work cutting: the timber along? the
highway between Seaside and Cannon
Beach, has suspended operations there
and shifted its activities to other
fields, according to a letter received
by Governor Olcott today from W. B.
Aver, chairman of the commission ap
pointed by the executive to devise
means for the preservation of the for
ests along- the scenic roads of this
state.
A. J. Tewthwalte, Svianagrer of the
Crown Willamette Paper company, in
a letter to Mr. Ayer assured Governor
Olcott and the members of the com
mission that the work of cuttins; tim
bef along? the Seaside and Cannon
Beach highway would not be resumed
until full opportunity had been given
for investigation and a conference.
Mr. Lewthwaite also Informed Mr.
Ayer that his company would co
operate to the fullest extent with the
commission of foresters recently
named to inspect the forest along the
Cannon Beach highway and report
their findings to the governor.
Acting upon the letter received by
Mr. Ayer from the management of
the Crown Willamette Paper com
pany, George H. Cecil, district for
ester, with headquarters in Portland,
has sent letters to F. A. Elliott, state
forester, and C. S. Chapman of the
Western Forestry and Conservation
association, asking that they hold
themselves in readiness to meet at
Seaside and inspect the forest at issue
in company with representatives of
the owners.
Easier Rates for Money Are Also
Helpful Factor Demand for
Ralls Continues.
KEW YORK. Sept. 15. Latest political
developments continued to shape the
course of the stock market today, brokers
and commission houses reporting a per
ceptible expansion of public or outside
support.
The money maricet lso figured In the
fairly broad but Irregularly higher trend
of quotations. Call money eased to 6
per cent after opening at 7. This relaxa
tion was unexpected because of the strain
upon the lecal reserves to meet federal
tax payments.
Renewed signs of eredlt easement were
indicated by time funds. Moderate loans
for six months on all rail collateral were
made at 8 per cent, although the nomi
nal rate in the open market was nearer .
One of the leading steel trade reviews
ventured the statement that "it is begin
ning to be eanler to do business."
The most favorable feature of tv stock
market was the sustained demand for
rails. Oils ranked with transportations
in activity and strength, and steels, cop
pers and equipments had their occasional
spurts with shippings, tobaccos and mis
cellaneous specialties.
bales amounted to 575,600 shares.
Leadership of the bond market was
again assumed by the new Krench 8s.
which rose to 10284, losing 1 per cent
later. Other foreign bonds were firm and
liberty issues were steadier Total sales
(par ralue) aggregated S13.250.0OO. Old
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

Xo Blame Placed for Accident That
Resulted in Death of Three .
Oregon Men.
SALEM. Or., Sept. IS. (Special.)
Report of the federal board of Inquiry-
appointed by the government to In
vestigate the explosion of a cannon
which killed three Oregon citizen
soldiers at Camp Lewis July 16. was
received Tuesday by George A. "White,
adjutant general, who immediately re-
leased the findings of the board for
publication.
"The board recommends that fuses.
Mark 111.' or the French 'I. A. L.
be not used for instruction firing-
This significant recommendation of
the board is taken to indicate that
the explosion was preventable. Sup
plementing this the board reported
its Inability to determine the precis"
cause of the accident, but believed
that the premature burst was due to
a faulty fuse or projectile.
Those serving the great field rifle
when it exploded and those eupervls
ing the firing are exonerated of
blame, the board reporting that "all
due precautions relative to the serv
ice of the piece customary in firing
tbia type of gun .were taken." The
board also declared that the men who
lost their lives were killed "In the line
of duty."

FIGHT OVER ROAD BEGUN
Contest of Toll-Bridge Owner Sow
in Dalles Court.
THE DALLES. Or., Sept. 15. (Spe
cial.) Arguments on the application
of Malcolm A. Moody for an injunc
tion to restrain the stale highway
commission from building a tempor
ary road across property owned by
him," to give public access' to the new
highway bridge across the Deschutes
river, began before Circuit Judge
Wilson here today. Opening of the
new state highway brldere would put
out of business the old toil struc
ture, known as Miller's bridge, across
the Deschutes. This tollbridge is
owned by Mr. Moody.
The affidavit filed for Mr. Moody
by Attorney Martin L. Pipes asserts
that construction of the temporary
road across his place to the new high
way bridge would work great injury
against him; and that the highway
commission has no right to condemn
land after the county court has re
fused to do so. The commission asserts
that it offered to purchase the land
from Mr. Moody, who declined to. sell,
that the county court refused to start
condemnation proceedings asked by
the highway commission.
Simon Benson, chairman of the
commission, arrived in The Dalles yes
terday and is attending the trial
Judge Wilson has ordered that the
evidence be taken in the form of
depositions, which will be submitted
to the court when they are completed,
probably tomorrow morning.

aid:
'Wheat Th volume of trade wti
smaller, and after a sharp decline early,
which waa accompanied by scattered
liquidating: sales and a I lent demand, the
market developed strength. and main
tained a firm tone during; the remainder
of the session. Receipts continue to fall
off and premiums are holding strong; at
1 1 cents to 11 "4 cents over December for
No. 1 red. The seaboard reported export
buying: still absent, but local Interests re
ported some business done. It was also
understood that heavy Canadian exports of
wheat were in progress. The diminishing
receipts confirm the claims that the pro
ducer, if possible, will hold wheat for
higher prices and It is hard to see how
this situatinn can be ignored.
"Com Sentiment was almost unani
mously bearish and the steady stream of
selling that came Into the market all day
proved too much for the absorptive
powers. The cash-market started steady,
but followed the decline In futures and
clotted lower at unchanged premiums. Bids
to the country, however, were reduced not
withatanii ing; which Offerings were said
to be quite liberal.
"Oats held firm on a light trade, ef
fecting an Improved tone on the spot mar
ket where premiums were quoted slightly
higher. Country offerings showed some
decrease at the reduced prices. There Is
not h ins; in sight at the moment to give
this market Independent action.
'Ry started strong but weakened later
In sympathy with wheat and on selling in
duced by reports that the recent export
demand had subsided.
"Provlniona Buying by local packers,
attributed to being against cash sales, had
a strengthening Influence on the general
market and induced considerable short
covering-. Stocks of -lard In Chicago de
creased about 7,250,000 pounds for the
half month, not a verr lsrge decrease
considering the amount In forv We see
no reason to change our bearish Ideas.

Option Corn Weakened by
Large Rural Offerings.

ness tended today to check depression of
values In the wheat markets. Prices
closed unsettled, lHc net lower to a like
advance with December $2.41 to I2.4H4,
and March S2.3.V Corn lost 14 to 3'c.
Oata finished unchanged to c down, and
provisions at a rise of 15c to 6oc.
At first the wheat market was unusually
nervous, beginning; with a little show of
strength baaed on the smallness of coun
try offerings, but then breaking sharp!?
as a result of gossip that foreign demand
was very slow.. Speculative selling con
tinued to keep March relatively weak.
Enlarged rural offerings pulled down
the corn market. especially September
contracts.
Oats were steadied by short covering.
Higher quotations on hogs gave strength
to provisions. Hogs reached the topmost
price level yet this year.
