Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OEEGONIAN, PORTLAND, APRIL' 20, 1902. FINE OUTLOOK FOR HOPS xSgs?OGBS!fflr$ )rLMfr(T s CROP FOR 1901 REACHED A TOTAL OP 74,000 BALES. Aggregate for 1002 Mar Be 100,000 Bales Ruling: Price Is 12 Cent. Oregon had a big crop of hops last year. The yield was about 74,000 bales. This la 14.000 bales more than was the estimate at harvest time. It was then thought the crop would be 20,000 bales short. The figures of the crop have been growing larger all the time since. The yield is all rounded up now, and the total quantity Is accurately known. At an average price of 9 cents growers received about $1,250,000. About 67,500 bales have been shipped nway. In the railroad warehouses are about 5000 bales, and at Eugene about 1300 bales. The remaining 500 bales are with growers. About 200 bales are left with growers at Dayton. According to present Indications the Ore gon cro ptlils year should be fully 100, 000 bales. It is estimated that between 1000 and 1500 new acres are planted in hops this season. The young shoots are grow ing fast. Never before have they looked so well. No complaints are heard of worms, and few hills are missing. Con tracts with growers for delivering the crop are made generally at 12 cents a pound. This is regarded by producers as a fa vorable figure, and they will get a good profit if untimely rains do not come at harvest time. "If we have a wet season we shall have a hog-killing match,' said a hopman yesterday. Crop prospects are also good in Cali fornia. Abundant rains give assurance of a large crop perhaps 60,000 bales. In Washington, it is thought, the yield will reach 35.000 bales 7000 more than last year. The Pacific Coast crop this year, there fore, may be as great as 195,000 bales. Last year it was 150.000 bales. "We feel greatly encouraged," said a grower yesterday. 'All depends, how ever, on weather conditions. If we should have a wet season, growers will lose heavily." A MAN OF STRAW to "Which Mr. HHIeary Proceeds Knock Out Vigorously. TURNER, Or., April 14. To the Edi tor.) In the report of the ministers' meet ing recently held in Portland it appears that some of the reverend gentlemen are opposed to the Chinese exclusion bill. I remember, when a boy. that ministers were found who objected to the Govern ment Interfering with the importation of certain laborers from Africa who had a black skin. They wanted- the blacks brought within reach of the Gospel. But in the opinion of the Portland ministers, the danger in enacting Chinese exclusion is that it would be a "concession to the demands of the Ignorant masses, who, If they were granted leeway, would change the whole structure of the Government." Who are the "Ignorant masses?" I have been taught from my youth up to the present time that the "ignorant masses" Include all who labor with their hands. And that the intelligent and educated masses Include all who do not labor with their hands, but use their brains or their wealth or the Government with which to acquire a living. And these "Ignorant masses" appear to be dreaded. With all their Ignorance they appear to know what they want. They have -learned that It is root hog or die; That to better their condition there Is no one to depend on but themselves. Em ployers of cheap Chinese labor say that the "Ignorant masses," who favor the ex clusion bill, will not work. Yet the con trary io proven by the fact that these same "ignorant masses" who favor Chi nese exclusion are found on every farm, and many of them own the land they live on. Ton find them In every prune or chard and fruit orchard of every kind in the state. They milk all the cows, make THE Silverfield Fur Co.

PAyO flEIER & FRANK COMPANY II HEIER & FRANK COHPANY MEIER & FRANK COMPANY ?e&ff&k3z&ZF the butter and cheese to supply their own wants and those of the intelligent masses. They are In every hopfleld, they are in the lumber woods, and produce trainloads of lumber. Look at the trainloads of wheat grown by them In the Inland Empire, and which, by the labor of these "Ignorant masses," Ib loaded into ships and carried to the markets of the world. You find them tending the cattle on a thousand hills, caring for all the fine horaes in the grassy valleys. You find them with the countless flocks of sheep and goats, shear ing the fleece and in the factories, re ducing the fiber to clothing. You find them delving Into mother earth and bring ing forth the shining metal that chines so brightly in the eyes of the "ignorant masses," and Jingles so pleasantly in the ears of the minister as the hat is passed on a Sunday morning. I have not time nor space to name all the industries where these "ignorant masses" are found. But they are found- in every place where labor Is performed and products of any kind are produced. They agree with, the prophet of old, who said: "He that pro vldeth not for his own household Is worse than an Infidel." Some years ago the "ignorant masses" engaged In hopgrowlng, met with roverses, prices fell below cost of production. The dealers best offers would not pay the ex pense of picking the hops. Yet they had their hops picked, thus giving opportunity for other "Ignorant masses" to come from tho cities (boatloads from Portland), and earn a few dollars with which to clothe their ragged children and enable the chil dren to attend the public schools during the Winter, and thus mitigate their Ig norance somewhat. How many of the so called intelligent masses are found en gaged in business enterprises where they know the only result will be to alleviate the physical sufferings of the "Ignorant masses." Twenty-five years ago hundreds of Chinese were employed on the farms of the Willamette Valley, clearing land, harvesting grain, picking all the hops, pulling all the flax, sawing all 'the wood in towns and washing the soiled linen. But they were found to be unreliable and Tr-ara. cant onraiT nnrt JlTinthpr AslfltlC ani mal has taken their place on the farm3, j among tne gruDp, ana tney nave cuuib w stay, and the "ignorant masses" are re sponsible for this change. Tho "ignorant masses" are fighting for the protection of 1 their American homes and families and j for the protection of American clvlliza- j tlon. The white truck farmers in the vicinity of Portland tell me that they sell scarce- ! ly any of their products to the families of those who employ cmnese cooks ana helD. for the reason that these Chinese servants are trusted to do the purchasing J of vegetables, and since they all have S cousins In the gardening business, a Chi nese supplies them with vegetables. The 1 Chinese looks after the welfare of his own kind, while a few so-caiiea Americans would take the bread out of the mouths of laboring Americans for the sake of put ting a few paltry dollars In their pockets.' Bomo men appear wise when they talk about God and the eouls- of men, but show j their contemptible Ignorance when they attempt to give the reason why the la boring class of Americans should not have a voice or an opinion In relation to the action of their own Government on public questions of vital Importance to them. They are Ignorant of how the physical wants of the laboring class are supplied. They are Ignorant of the great struggle of many for existence, of the struggle for a fair share of what the harvest yields, fpr a fair reward for their labor. Tho Government has made some concessions to these same "Ignorant masses," and these concessions will Increase in proportion as these masses learn to stand together, talk together and flght together for a common purpose. W. M. HILLEARY. Only Republicans Err. SALEM. April IS. (To the Editor. In the enumeration of Oregon Governors re sponsible for the Increase of compensa tion beyond the constitutional limit, the Oregonian includes "Whlteaker, Thayer and Grover. I am quite confident the wo first named received nothing beyond the constitutional salary of $1500 per an num. And I am strongly of the opinion that the same is true of Governor Grover. "Without the examination of records, it would be hard to say when was com menced the system of putting Into the general appropriation bill items of reward for service. Imaginary or real, legitimate ly pertaining to the duties of the several offices, like Governor, $1000 per annum a3 Supervisor of Public "Works. $500 for vis iting the Insane Asylum, $500 for -visiting the Penitentiary, $250 member of domes tic animal commission. $250 Reform School, $250 National Guards. If Secre tary McBride was not the originator of it (and I do not think he was wholly so), it was largely expanded during his incumbency of the office. In the same manner, like grafts have been extended to other state offices. The Constitution established salaries for them, and Legis latures have been employed to provide remuneration for the performance of the duties pertaining thereto. The Domestic Animal Commission might well be abolished. The salaries attached to it aggregate $750 per an num, with, latterly, at least, no duties to perform. The State Veterinary Sur geon Is sufficient. B. Committee Meets Tomorrow. The Republican City and County Cen tral Committee will meet In Allsky Hall tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock for the purpose of filling vacancies In the city and county ticket, and transacting such other business as the occasion may de mand. It Is understood that a committee of 14 will be appointed to manage the city and county campaign, and that other plans will be made for the political battle that will soon be on. January and October In the same year al ways begins with the same day of the week. The case is the same with April and July, with September and December, and with Feb ruary, March and November.
