THE HOP MARKET PEON'S EYES GREEN I EASTERN OUTFITTING COMPANY EASflSKX OUTFITTING COMFANT TRYING TO SMOKE HIM OUT On Account of Removal We Announce Final Reductions Only Their Jealousy Causes Mexican Disturbances. On Ladies Big California Operator at Last Instructs Agents to Make Contracts. Summer Suits KNOW THEIR INFERIORITY 8 ENTRANCE EXCITES TRADE A. J. Kay & Son Dispose of Large Block at Sixteen Cents Crop Reports From Country Xot So Satisfactory. The past week has been the most excit ing: in some respects that the Oregon hop market has ever known. As in the pre ceding week, a substantial advance has been recorded. The volume of business was less than In the previous week, but the interest was more widespread. From the hop fields of Josephine County up to Skagit County In 'vV'ashliiBton, the ex citement among the growers has been In tense. Hardly less excited were the deal ers at the big prospective profits to be made out of the rising market. After the ruinous prices and the monotonous course of the 1905 market, this exultation Is not to be wondered at. What caused more Interest yesterday than any other development was the news that the B. Clemens Horst Company had at last entered the market as an active bidder for contracts. Agents of this firm made offers of 16 cents at both Mount Angel and Independence, but, so far as could be learned, without success. The very fact, however, that Horst had appeared as a buyer was enough to add great strength to the market. Since the 13-cent mark was passed, his name had not been heard as a purchaser. The trade generally regarded him as short many thousand bales, and as he refused to come in when the bulge started, it was presumed he had no faith In the upward movement. Greatest Hopgrower in World. Horst is the largest grower of hops In the world, with immense ranches all the way along the Coast, from California to British Columbia. It was presumed he was figuring on filling his early contracts with Eastern and English brewers with hops of his own production and count ing on a slump In the late Winter or next Spring to provide him with cheap hops for the remainder of his sales. There fore, the news that came down from the West Side at noon, that his agents had resumed operations, was hailed with de life'ht by all who will be benefitted by higher prices. Eighty Thousand Pounds at 16. The largest sale of the day was made In this city. A. J. Ray & Son disposed ftf 80,000 pounds from their Molson yard It 16 cents. Two days ago they sold 65,000 pounds of their Witchhazel crop at the same price, and also disposed of another block of 20.000 pounds at 16 cents Not withstanding they let go of 165,000 pounds of their growiug crops, Mr. Ray was not prepared to say he believed the top of the market has been reached. "We do not know whether the price will go up or not," he said yesterday, "but having so many hops to sell, we thought it would be good to sell a few along with the market. It is difficult to unload such large blocks quickly when high prices have been reached.'1 A rumor was circulating around the Belvedere Hotel yesterday morning that Lachmund & Pincus, of Salem, have taken up a 17-cent option with Meyer & Will lams, of Dallas, but Mr. Pincus stated over the telephone last night in very positive terms that no tieh deal had been closed. He also denied having purchased the Bell crop at 16 cents, and repeated that the highest price so far paid was H'i cents, at which McKlnley Mitchell secured the Ambler hops at Mount Angel, as was announced In this paper. The only purchase made by Lachmund & Co. yesterday was a carload from T. A. Riggs, of Dallas, at 16 cents. Last of 1905 Crop at 13. What is about the last lot of 1905 hops left in the State was bought yesterday by the El. Clemens Horst Company. It con sisted of the Bbner crop of '105 bales, grown at Mount Angel. The price paid was 13 cents, which Is more than they could have been sold for at any time last season, except in the first few days after the market opened. The famous Robertson lots of 1903s and 1904s, which were deported bought a few days ago at 9 cents by E. C. Herren, were said yesterday to have been rejected on account of their condi tion. The holder, however, was not discouraged for they were later of fered on the market at 10 cents. Some very glowing crop talk was brought in yesterday by buyers re turning from the country. It was de clared, the crop had suffered materially by the hot weather and drouth and that the early estimates must be scaled down considerably. Therefore the ex perts lopped off from 20,000 to 25,000 bales from their first figures, which, however, have been so far" apart that the results were anything but con clusive. As the traders figures stand now, the crop of Oregon will be any where from 100,003 to 130,000 bales. Experience with estimates In past seasons would seem to point to a mean between these two extremes as some where near the truth. The crop of last year Is now placed at 110,000 bales. Pickers Need Not Bo Afraid. Whether or not the damage has been as great as reported, there Is certain to be plenty of work for all the pick ers that apply. One large grower yes terday had signed up 500 men, women and children and others were either engaging their help or preparing to do so the-comlng week. There la an as surance of good pay, 6 i cents a box, and every indication of fine weather for the outing which will furnish pleasure and profit fof many .ousands of work ers. YAMHILL COUNTY CONTRACTS Ballston Grower Sells His Baby Hops at 15 Cents. . M'MTN'N VILL.E, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.) The County Recorder reports having re corded during the past week 26 hop con tracts, aggregating about 273,000 pounds of hops, or nearly 1500 bales. Some of these contracts were taken some time ago, when hops were only worth 10 cents. A large number, however, were of recent dates and call for 15 cents per pound. They all provide for the usual advances, 2 cents per pound upon signing of the contract, 5 cents per pound on or about September 1 for picking money and the balance to be paid on receipt of the hops. The buyers have not been quite so con spicuous in this immediate vicinity dur ing the past day or two, but reports from 1 lie more remote places, indicate that they are active in their efforts to secure contracts and where they find a grower who is not In touch with recent events they have been able to secure an occa sional contract at 15 cents or an option fur a few days at 16 or 17 cents. No bet- & ,rP fmiv ter Indication of the situation Is mani fest than that evidenced by the fact that a grower in this county residing near Ballston reports having contracted nearly 20.000 pounds of hops, which will be the first crop picked from the yard, at 15 cents. Growers of older yards, on up lands, which always produce a much better quality of hops, are. undter exist ing circumstances, unwilling to entertain present prices and are confidently expect ing to 'realize more for their hops. It is doubtful if much more business can be done in this county in the way of con tracts short of 18 to 20 cents, especially where quality is desired. WHEN PRICES MERE LOW Old Contracts Are Filed With Clack amas County Recorder. OREGON CITY, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.)-' Five hop contracts, one carrying 10 cents and the other four only 10 cents, and cov ering: in the aggregate 55,000 pounds of 1906 hops, were recorded here today. With the exception of one of the contracts, which was written in March, 1906, all of the agreements bear date of May 15 last. Lillenthal Bros., of New York, hold four of the contracts, all having 10-cent consid erations, while McKlnley Mitchell is in possession of the fifth instrument at 10V4 cents. For a consideration of WA cents, with advance money for harvesting purposes, J.. Sager & Son. of Willamette, have con tracted to McKinley Mitchell, of Portland, 5000 pounds of their 1905 crop. Lillenthal Bros, get the other four lots, as follows: August Rothenberg. of Wilsonvllle, 6000 pounds; W. W. and R. B. Graham, of Portland, 30.000; M. C. Young, of Wilson ville, 8000, and Jay Baker, of Sherwood, 6000. In each contract It 1b stipulated that certain advances are to be made for har vesting. FIX HOP-PICKING PRICE. Oregon Growers' Association Will Pay 50 Cents a Box. SALEM, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.) One dollar per 100 pounds, or 50 cents per box, will doubtless be the popular price paid for hop picking in the Valley this year, since this seemed to be. the predominating sentiment as expressed at a meeting of about a score of mem bers of the Oregon Hopgrowers' Asso ciation, held in this city yesterday af ternoon. The prevailing tendenoj- on the part of growers, also, is thar hops will go to 20 cents by harvest time and all present were in favor of holding out for that figure at least. The only other feature of the meeting was the order ing of picking, curing and baling sup plies and the appointment of J. R. Cole man, of this city, as disbursing agent. Vice-President H. E. Fletcher presided at the meeting. CONCERT AT PARK TODAY City Band Will Render Programme Commencing at 2:30 o'clock.

WANT ALASKA LIE More Business Men Promise Financial Support. NONE OPPOSES PROJECT Prospoct'That'EstablisUmenff Would Bring Many New Industries. Lends Standing to the Proposed Venture. The business men interested in the Portland-Alaska steamship project met strong ly favorable sentiments yesterday while soliciting opinions from those not heard from before on the proposition. Members' of the committees busied themselves talk ing about the scheme and requesting at tendance at the meeting Tuesday evening at. the Commercial Club, when definite ac tion will be taken. Ways and means of raising the necessary money will be de cided upon then. In addition to the Government assay of fice, which has practically been assured as soon as the steamers are put on, those interested are more than enthusiastic be cause of the fact that certain new devel opments bring to light a number of other industries that will assist in keeping P6rt land the great city of the Northwest. A general smelting plant and reduction works is one of the industries counted upon. A tin smelting and dipping plant is another of the possibilities. The Board of Trade, on this last industry, has had some communication with persons inter ested In building such works here. A new development In Alaska Is this mining of tin ore, the demand for fhis necessity In the United States being far in excess of the supply. The Imports of pig tin into this country last year amount ed to something like 85,000,000 pounds, valued at $23,500,000. Only 159 tons of cas siterite was mined In this country last year. With the development of such business as this in Alaska, in addition to the regu lar trade of freight and merchandise and the shipments of gold and other products of the territory, prospective backers here feel certain the steamship line venture will be a paying one and are anxious to get it in actual operation as soon as pos sible. Wallls Nash, president of the Board of Trade, is confident the steamship line will be launched. "Every one seems to look upon the matter with favor," he said yesterday, "and furthermore, not one so far approached has refused co-operation and financial aid in the formation of a company." CRUSHED WAGONS. C. W. Taylor, Teamster, 5Ieet9 Al most Instant Death. ' C. W. Taylor, a teamster In the employ of the North Pacific Lumber Company, was crushed to death yesterday forenoon by being caught between two heavy wag ons at the company's mill grounds. The accident was an unusual one. and accord ing to John Halberg, the one eye-witness of the tragedy, no one was to blame. According to Halberg's version, Taylor was driving a heavy load of lumber through the yards when hte way became blocked by another heavy wagon, which he attempted to pass where there was not enough room. Unhitching his team, he attached the horses to the rear of the ob stacle to pull It clear of the road. As he whipped up the team, the wagon moved against his own vehicle. Imprisoning him. His right arm and side were terribly crushed and death followed almost in stantly. The body was taken at once to the morgue. Taylor was 35 years old and leaves a widow. Arrangements for-'the funeral have not yet been made. G. A. R. Reunion at Gresham. GRESHAM. Or., Aug. 4. (Special.) M. A, Ross Post, G. A.

The car, according to Bliss, was running at 20 miles an hour when the accident happened. He said that the motorman refused to slow up when he signaled, and that when he attempted to grasp the guard rails he fell to ttie pave ment.' He was not seriously enough in jured to be taken to the hospital. "-. ' Cannot Accomplish Anything by Anti-American Uprising, Says I. Jj. Webber, El Paso Newspaper Man. Jealousy arising from a realization' by the peons of the superiority of the Americans is causing the anti-Gringo disturbances in Mexico, according to I. L. Webber, circulation manager of the El Paso Herald, who is now a vis itor in Portland. Mr. Webben takes a very optimistic view of the conditions and believes that as long as President Diaz is at the head of the Mexican Government the interests of the Amer icans and other foreigners will be pro tected. Intelligent Mexicans, he says, are friendly to the Americans. Mr. Webber, who has lived for years at El Paso, just across from the Mexi can border, describes the peons as an easy-going, shiftless class who would blindly cut oft the source of their present prosperity, due almost entire ly to the enterprise and progresslve ness of the Americans. "The trouble is only a manifestation of -bitter feeling which has been fo menting for some time, and comes as no surprise," said Mr. Webber last night. "The. Mexicans that is the lower class of Mexicans are Jealous of the Americans. That is the secret of everything and there will always be - more or less uneasiness and dis quietude. "The Americans have made Mexico. The era of prosperity now being en joyed by that country is due to them. But the peons have not sense enough to realize this, or elBe the pride of their Southern blood is so strong that they do not want to admit it. Not many years ago th peons were poverty-stricken, work was scarce and wages correspondingly low. The Amer icans went into that rich empire and developed the mines and other re sources, which resulted in an abund ance of work for all and high wages. Yet the peons want to drive them out and their motto is: 'Mexico for Mexi cans." Yet leave the Mexicans to themselves and the resources of their remarkably rich country would He dormant and untouched for centuries and the people would be as poor as they were before the Americans ap peared. N Why Americans Are Paid More. "Americans are paid just about twice 5s much as the Mexicans, and it groes without saying that the Americans are worth twice as much or even more than the Mexicans. They are better work men; they are more reliable. On a Mexican you cannot place as much dependence as upon a 10-year-old boy In this country. "For Instance, the Mexican machin ists will work side by side with the machinists from this country. The Americans draw twice as much money as the neons because they do twice as much work. The peons become Insane ly jealous and make themselves believe that they are being mistreated. The engineers and conductors upon nearly all of the railroads and the heads of the departments of great mining and construction companies are white men. The Mexicans cannot qualify for the positions and consequently Americans have to be employed. "If the peons would stop to think for a few seconds they would be able to learn why the Americans are employed In preference to them. The companies would be only too glad to hire the Mexicans if they were capable and efficient, because they work for less money than do the white people. But no, they allow themselves to be carried away by Impulse. Diaz a Great Man. "President Diaz, the high officials of the Government and, in fact, practically all of the intelligent, educated and broad minded Mexicans comprehend what the Americans have done for Mexico. Presi dent Diaz is a great man. He is a man with foresight, and it is he who made It possible for Americans to gain and maintain their foothold. He foresaw that if some of the enterprise and push from the United States was injected Into Mex ico by the' presence of Americans and their capital that his country would take on a new life and become prosperous, And it has. "With the same foresight he realizes that if the Americans are forced back that his country, which he loves with a deep, true love of a patriot, will go backwards. So he is a friend of the Americans and Is doing, and will do, all within his power to protect them and their interests. President Diaz Is re sourceful, has faced many exigencies far worse than the present one, and I and all who know him and his ways, believe that he can smooth things over. He Is too great a man to allow the Mexicans to ruin their country, and he will pilot them through this trouble the same as he has many others. Race Rising Would Be Short. "If there should be a general uprising In Northern Mexico I do not believe it would last -long. If the Mexican troops were unable to cope with the slutation. there are thousands of Texans who would flock across the border to raise havoc with the rebellious ones. The United States officially could hardly intervene, as to send troops across the border upon such an occasion would be the same as a declaration of war. But private citizens would go. "If the Cananea uprising had lasted 48 hours more, thousands of Americans Would have poured across the border to the relief of their countrymen. One Texas cowboy with a Winchester and a couple of phrtols can lick a dozen or more peons, and the Mexicans are afraid of them. They are beginning to realize, I think, that if they should attempt to drive out the white people that they would stir up a hornets' nest. "Perhaps there are a few cases where the Americans have not done as they should. Perhaps some of them have rid den over the natives rough shod, confi dent of their superiority, but this has by no means been general. 'Mexico for Mexicans' may sound patriotic, but the country would be dealt a death blow if such a condition should come to pass." "POTTER" IN SERVICE. Popular O. R. & N.

Ralph S. Hopkina Reaches Portland After Harrow log Experiences With Ureakdovrns in Coast Range, Ralph S. Hopkins, the automobile Dioneer of Seattle, who made the first and only trip from the Sound to the mouth of the Columbia River, arrived in Portland early yesterday morning with his machine, which had broken down a week before this side of Asto ria. He is stopping at the Hotel Port land and will leave this afternoon in his automobile for home. Ten days ago Mr. Hopkins' machine broke down near Jewell, after, he had completed the trip from Seattle to Ore gon by way of the ocean beach. He came to Portland and ordered repairs from the East. Tuesday he became im patient and taking his chauffeur, How ard Robinson, and a complete black smith shop, returned to Jewell with the Intention of bringing the automobile here. The repairs made, the two left Jewell last Thursday. It was the worst journey in the history of Mr. Hopkins' automobile experience. His was the first machine to travel the mountain roads in that vicinity and it will be many years, Mr. Hopkins says, before another will ever make the same trip. From Vernonia to Buxton the condi tion of the roads and the hills they were compelled to climb was terrible. Steep grades, one after the other, were encountered and at times hours would be consumed in traversing a single mile. These roads extend over cliffs and along bluffs through this range of mountains and were such that fre quently It looked doubtful whether Hopkins would eyer get his machine through. "I simply wouldn't go through the experience again for any amount of money," he said last night. "These mountain roads between Vernonia and Buxton are the worst I ever saw. Some places there would be Immense ruts where the bottom of the vehicle would drag the ground. The inclines of those Cape Horn Mountains will make auto mobillng In that part of the woods out of the question. In addition to rough BUSH TEL1PLE N. CLARK ST. & CHICACO AVE., KEKXETH M.

One hundred striking railway laborers, chiefly Italians, marched along Sutter street torliy visit ing points where nonunion men are work ing on the car line, and as a result a call was sent for the police. While the union men made no threats, the nonunion mon were frightened and took refuge in houses In course of construction along the street. When the police reached the strikers they found that a large crowd had gath ered. On the approach of the officers the strikers started to run, but were soon overtaken and were warned that at the first sign of trouble wholesale arre.ts would follow. The nonunion men re turned to their work. Great Harvest of Hay. GRESHAM, Or., Aug 4.-(Sepoial.)-Th hay harvest of Eastern Multnomah is nearly done and is the greatest ever known in thij? part of Oregon. Every barn Is filled to Its utmost capacity, and there are probably 10,000 tons being stacked in the fields. As-these stacks cannot withstand the Fall rainB, the hay will have to be baled and stored. The baled hay will be shipped away later In the season and that portion of the crop will about represent the amount to be ex ported this year. Much hay has been sold in the fields at prices varying from 2 to $6 per ton. Hay for home consump. tlon will be cheaper this year than for 10 years past, and as a consequence there will be a corresponding increase dn the dairy business the coming Winter.
