THINK ADVANCE CERTAIN Seventeen Cent Paid for Three lots in Past Two Days Dealers Are Reducing Their Esti mate of the Crop. The hop market Is fcafely on a 17-cent basis. It may be 18 cents or 20 cents In another week, but all that can be said for it Is that 17 cents would be freely paid If the goods'were obtainable. The growers were never firmer In their views than they are now and buyers find It almost useless to make them offers. Three sales at 17 cents In the past two days can be fully confirmed. There were rumors of other transactions at this figure, but they lack verification. Lachmund & Pincus, of Salem, bought two 17-cent lots, each of about 100 bales, one from Naylor & Jackson, of Woodburn, and the other from J. E. Querner, of Amity. H. L. Hart, of this city, secured the Brown lot near Mc Mlnnville of 12,000 pounds at 17 cents. K. C. Apporson, of McMinnville, was offered 17 cents for 40,030 pounds of hops, but before the deal was closed, another offer V cent better was made. Jlr. Apperson and his renter concluded tney would not sell and the hops were taken off the market. This illustrates the feeling among almost all classes of growers. They cannot see why they should be expected to sell their hops at the going price when the buyers themselves say the market will be higher later on. The fact that the buy er is playing a gambling game and banking on the uncertainty of the fu ture does not enter Into the calculation at all. Twenty Cents in Sight Soon. It is the general opinion In the trade that hops will bring 20 cents before ' the market for spot hops of the new crop is well established. Basing values on conditions here and abroad, this prospective figure seems to be war ranted. That any advance over 20 cents will be a laborious undertaking also seems likely, barring, of course, a crop disaster, such as is not now indi cated by reliable returns. There is no doubt that many growers and prac tically all the small dealers have de cided in their own minds to unload when 20 cents is reached. If the crop looks bad then, or the advance to that point is rapid, they will probably change their minds, but If conditions remain as they are, a heavy selling movement is looked for. What will happen when the hops are in the hands of the big speculators and the weaker element is eliminated is another ques tion. Cutting Crop Estimates. During the pause in trading, hop men are giving renewed attention to crop conditions in this state. Probably every dealer in Oregon has reduced his estimate in the past week or ten days. Early In the season a yield of 140,000 bales was predicted. Then the figure was cut to 130,000 bales and .later to 120,000 bales. Now many trad ers gay they will be surprised if last year's production is exceeded. Julius Pincus, of Lachmund & Plncus, "who was down from Salem last night, sal ti the Oregon crop will not run over 130, 000 bales. The effect of the long-continued drouth and the poor cultivation of many yards, he said, was plainly to be seen In a drive through any hop producing section. t YAMHILL DEAL FALLS THROUGH Apperson Lot of Hops Is Withdrawn Ftom the Market. M'MINNVILLB, Or., Aug. 11. (Spe cial.) The E. C. Apperson lot of hops has been withdrawn from the market. Negotiations were pending yesterday for contracting the hops of this yard with Mr. Weidner and also with Mr. Pincus. of Lachmund & Co., but the deal did not go through. Mr. Weidner's offer was 17 cents, while Mr. Pincus left a contract with Mr. Apperson for the hops at 17 hi cents and gave him until this morning to accept or reject. It is understood that Mr. Long, who is the renter and has an equal interest in the hops, decided that he would not contract at all. The yard is one of the finest In the county, consisting of 45 acres, and it is understood that buyers are anxious to secure the crop. Mr. Apperson stated that the hops would not again be offered until they were In the bale. Ha said, however, that it was very hard to turn down a con tract at present prices, where every concession was made to the grower and especially in view of the fact that the returns in the way of rentals would equal or exceed $60 per acre. He per sonally was Inclined to accept, but the renter preferred to wait until they were in the bale. Offers of 1714 cents were made here today. STRICTER ENTRANCE LAW SEW IMMIGRATION LAW KEEPS OUT ANARCHIST CLASS heading of "Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization." Immigration bu reaus established in different parts of the country will cause a registry to be made in the case of each alien arriv ing in the United States. All .details regarding their life and arrivJ will be recorded.

Not more than two years or more than seven years after he has made such a declaration on in tention he must make a petition in writing. Even the bluebloods are not exempt under the new act. In case an alien applying for citizenship has borne any hereditary title or has been of any of the orders of nobility in any klgndom or state he must make an express re nunciation of his title or order of no- 'tc leave the country within five years after the issuance of the cer tificate to take permanent residence elsewhere will be considered prima facie evidence of the intention of the alien not to become a citizen of tnia CNotpe'rson can be admitted within 3) days of any election and the names of witnesses must be posted in a public place for a given length of time. Joseph Buchtel After Bridgemen Again Leader of Fight Agnlnat Open Draws Kept Walttnir Half an Hour While Six Boats Pass Through. IT was plain to be seen last evening that Joseph Buchtel,- tfie well-known pioneer, was out of patience. , In short, he was mad clear through. Joseph Buchtel ha a hobby. It Is the regulation of the draws of the bridges across the Willamette River. Almost alone he has contended for regulation by the county for periods during the day when no boats should pass through the draws. Alone he fought the river cap tains before the representative of the War Department, and although whipped out for the time, was not beaten. He did secure some modifications of the methods of steamships passing through the draws for the accommodation of the public, but when he stood on the Burnsids bridge and saw the draw kept open for six steamers to pass through, while street cars and pedestrians were waiting at both ends for half an hour, he was mad. It was a clear violation of the agreement the captains had made. "By .the eternal," exclaimed the pio neer, "I ain't through wilh these river boats yet, and I intend to stay with this matter until the river captains respect the rights of the public. They think they own the earth. Why, more traffic crosses one of these bridges in one day 'than goes up and down the river In a month. There go six steamers through the draw in a long procession. When a boat whistles down at the mouth of the Willamette the draws open . for the steamer, and when a steamer coming down the Willamette whistles at Oswego the draws fly open for these autocrats of the river, while thousands of people wait! I say it is a great shame, an outrage, a , and'I won't stand for it." Just then" the draw closed and Joe made for an ice-cream stand for some thing cooling. ! Intention to Become Citizen Must Be Announced Not Even Titled Nobility Exempt. While no attempt has been made by the United States to place a barrier in front of the millions of immigrants who are annually pouring into this country, with the exception of the Chi nese exclusion act, the new naturali zation and citizenship laws enacted by Congress are hoped to prevent the ad mittance of many of the dangerous and undesirable classes. County Clerk Fields is in receipt of the act recently passed by Congress, which goes into effect next month. The new laws are much more stringent and exacting than the old and provide for the courts working in conjunction with a Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization. Aiming at anarchists and the danger ous and particularly undesirable aliens who, driven from their own country, seek a rendezvous In the United States! the act provides that no person who disbelieves in or who Is opposed to or ganized government shall be natural ized. It includes in the classification of this element persons who are members of or who are affiliated with any or ganization entertaining or teaching any such disbelief. Polygamists are also prohibited from taking out citi zenship papers. Instead of a Bureau of Immigration In the .Department of Commerce and Iabor there is to be created a sepa rate working organization under the Lord Would Not Let Him Be Buncoed Sellwood Man Wbo Prays Before He Buys Anything Proves Faith and Bring Confusion to Would-Be . Swindler. . , AT SELLWOOD is a very worthy and devout aged resident who asks for divine guidance before he makes a purchase, no matter how small. If a peddler comes along and knocks at his door, he will say: "I will ask the Lord about It." Presently he will return and Inform the peddler, "The Lord says that I must not buy that article." and that ends it. Ed. Paetsch is a cider manufacturer at Milwaukie. This old man is a customer. Last week Paetsch had a barrel of cider on his hands which he was afraid would spoil, and he thought he might convince his Sellwood customer that the Lord wanted him to buy the barrel of cider. 8o he drove to the house,- and when the old gentleman came out, Paetsch said: "The Lord told me to deliver to you a barrel of cider in prime condition this morning." The customer said that a barrel of cider was a good deal, but he would aee about It. So he went back into the house to pray over it while Paetsch waited on the outside. Presently he came out, when he remarked: "Paetsch, the Lord told me that a bar- rel of elder is too much, and that-our cider is not fit to drink. Furthermore, the Lord did not tell you to deliver the barrel to me. It was Postmaster Ballard that told you to try to palm that bar rel of spoiled cider on me. The Lord told me to tell you to git. Paetsch got. COMES TO SEE THE TOWN Friends Seize Brandt's Valuables, and He Thinks He Is Robbed. Believing that he had been robbed of J100 and a watch, I. J. Brandt, an O. R. & N. employe from Spokane, made hur ried application to the police yesterday, Brandt is very well known and the police decided to help him. It took but a few minutes' investigation to learn that Brandt had been robbed by his friends, who decided to keep him out of difficulty. Brandt had been absent from Portland for some time and was desirous of seeing the city. Believing that his time could be put to better use, one of his acquain tances relieved him of S80, which he placed In a hotel for safe keeping. With 20 left Brandt started out to see the city. Meeting a second fellow-railroad man he was relieved of $15 and his watch. In the afternoon Brandt went to his room for a few hours' rest. When he was awakened he felt for his watch and money. His money was missing and his watch was gone. The police were notified and Detective Hellyer was sent out with Brandt to retrace his lost steps The detective quickly learned that Brandt's money and watch were safe. Brandt retains his two friends and has made one or two more at police head quarters. BALTIM0REEXCURSI0N. From Chicago over the Pennsylvania 8hort Lines, account Homecoming andi Jubilee Week.
