PROGRESS IN CALIFORNIA
M. II, Durst Presents Arguments Tor
the Ncccwity of Limiting: the
Proiluet and Signing Five
Yea r Contract.
- ALAMEDA, Cal.. Jan. 28 (To the Edi
tor ) It 1 now Juat about til) days since we
b.gan the movement for the orsanisaUon of
h.,I.crowors. At least three weeks were taken
p in deciding on what line to l"
The aotlve work ha. been done with.n six
weeks. It seems to me that the ,.roBre. has
been phenomenal, and certainly we haie suc
ceeded b-vond most peoples exi.ectat.om.
Our "friendly opponent." who pron.wllcate4
a "miserable failure" may now revise their
estimates. .
in all secttons there has been more or less
opinion, mostly from growers not comnre
hemllnK the scope of our work. Many oth-er
Browers have been too conservative Some
"prefer to bear the Ills we have than to fly
to others they know not of." borne thoug ht
this union movement should have gone
throiiKh with a whoop anil a Hurral. Its
friends are (find It did not. .,,,,,
It Is an Important and a serious, undertak
ing and it is best that it be not entered on
without ample consideration. Sometimes some
of us Bet Impatient and wonder why It, takes
o long. If one considers a little he can . e
that it Is best that we should make nasie
alowly. .
It Is neccssarv. In order that we may have
the fullest success for our union, that every
a-rcwer who signs tt-.e by-laws should do so
willingly and only after he haB been fully
wtlslll. Then we may expect such a one to
be with us with will and deed. He will have
no misgivings. . Adverse arguments will not
affect him, because he will have already
considered them. In this state we have had
some new trouble. In thatv -when we were In
Oregon the by-laws were changed to the ex
tent of riving Oregon wvfn directors Instead
of five. It seemed a small matter, and yet
It ! surprising how wrong Interrogations and
even arguments we have had over-the change.
HV have lost at least two weeks' time In
Mendocino and Scnnma Counties, just from
this changing or the by-laws. But we will
ret the results eventually. At this writing
T am Informed we have about 0 per cent of
the total California acreage signed up. and
It Is only a question of time to get the
other 8 per cent.
Encouraa-rng FrogTTss.
TVe have made encouraging progress In sev
eral directions lately. Our state organization
hits been formally organized and officers elect
ed. Tie articles of association have been filed
with the Secretary of State. At our last
meeting we had Max Wolf, of Philip Wolf &
Co., and of Klaber, Wolf & Netter with us:
also Mr. Wasscrman, manager of William
Chlman & Co., who represents S. & F. Uhl
man & Co., of New York. Mr. Wolf gave us
plainly to underatand that he and his firm
were . cordially In favor of organization of
hopgrowers. He read a letter from Katley
liriiilcy & Co.. who are large London mer
chants, suggesting that a committee of grow
ers and dealers go to London In order to
meet those connected with the 'hop trade there
and deliberate on organizing for the bene
rtt of the hop trade growers, dealers . and
brewers.
This Is considerably In advance of our or
ganization plans; but It ls quite possible that
our Pacific Omst Hopgrowers Union may be
the nucleus which will finally end) in an or
ganization for the mutual benefit of the hop
growers of the world, and the allied indus
tries. That such an organisation is possible
no one can deny. If suoli a movement Is suc
cessful the Pncinc. Court hopgrowers- can
claim to have blazed the trail.
We hope that It will not be long until we
may bo 'favored with Mr. Herman Klaber s
presence, at one of our meetings. And when
that time comes we are sure we will have
his hearty support. We expect this because
we know his alms and interests are practical
ly the same as ours.
Attitude of Buyer.
Mr. Wasscrman stated at the meeting In
panta Kosa t'het he was advised by Ws prin
cipals that they did not wish to antagonize
thennlon movement. He also authorized the
reading of a letter from S. & F. Uhluiun A
Co.. In which the following sentiments were
exprcwied: "In dealing with either growers
or hrewers our aim has been to treat every-:
body fairly, and It i- our Intention to continue
doing business on the same Hues. We do not
care, to take sides, either for or against the
tiopgrowers union, preferring to keep entirely
ix-uiral.
This is practically all that any responsible
firm Imvlng no acreage of its own could say.
It mnkes it evident that if there be any fur
ther opposition from any o"ne representing
this firm It will be due simply to thp Initiative
and partisanship of the Individual agents and
not by Instructions from their employers.
The Associated Prevn reports say that .Paul
Tt. Ci. Horst stated that he was not "knock
ing" the union, and that on the other 'liend
he is heartily in sympathy with Its alma. He
eays that it Is absolutely neceesary to re
duce the acreage In order to prevent Increas
ing the surplus.
The question of- restricting production is
one of the central Ideas of the ijnion, and one
on which he will find the Coast directors de
liberating at their very first meeting.
The prngreps the union has made of late
should be satisfactory to all of Its well
wishers. All we need now is to secure the
signatures of those who are with us in spirit,
but have refiHlned from signing up.
Restriction of the Product.
T'.very hopgi-ower and dealer alike knows
that, until the production of hops is regulat
e.1 so that it will not exceed the demand
there can he no Improvement in prices. We
all agree that It Is , absolutely necessary to
n strict production. Tim only thing possible
that will quickly Improve prices is for the
hopgrowers' union to decide to reduce 'the
acreage, or limit the quantity of hops bar
verged. rvnry crower m ready 10 further this move
because It means lft-cent prices. Rut many
growers say they want to reduce the produc
tion, but still, they defer signing the by
laws. Without we are organized all talk,
about restricting production Is futile. Amer
ican hopgrowers are not "quitters." and we
will all hang on to the bitter end. That
means t"-n.t no grower will quit until he is
bnnkrupt.
There is some talk that conditions will right
theiselves on the plan of the survival of the
fittest: but I doubt If this theory will work
out us some seem to think. Instead of acre
age bring reduced It will result In the yards
helm? cut up and the number of growers be
ing increased. Hoprrrowlng will become more
or a side iswe Small yards will be the
rule, and the larger grower will be more
apt to go out of business than the 10-aere
man. . '
If will take three or four years to regulate
tMngs so that gno.l prices will rule again.
That would mean a loss of J.VlO or mre per'
acre on every ncre in hops on the Coast, or
In the neighborhood of $:,ooo.ooo. Why
should hopgrowers leave conditions to right
themselves when In the Interim the losses
are going to be so heavy?
Ths Five-Yeur Contract.
F.very grower realizes that he can't lose by
joining tho union. The main objections a-e
to. The grower pays he don't like to sign
up for five years: and he don't like to put
Jils business out of his own hands.
As to the last, the business of the hop
grower Is to produce his crop. The selling of
it Is tho dealers' business. The hopgrower
docs not live who does not make costly mis
take selling. As the business is now con
ducted low prices are Inevitable. Kvef-y hop
grower Is in competition with his neighbor
hopgrower. During the months succeeding
harvest there are at least 15o0 hopgrowers on
this Coast, each trying to sell his hops before
his neighbor does. Kach grower Is deter
mined that he will not be the last to sell.
Was ever a more senseless and unbusiness
like conditions known? Could any possible
change make the results more rulnouB? Cer
tainly not. And yet hopgrowers say they do
not wish to put the selling out of their oSa-d
hands! They had as well say they would
rather see their ' farms sold over their heads
and the.ir families starve than to allow somo
one else to sell' their crops, even when they
have, made such a miserable failure of It.
The result would be Identical. If we keep
cn with the present methods of doing the
business it means bankruptcy. How can any
hopgrower object to putting his hops Into the
handi of the union to sell when he has an
absolute guarantee that be will et, first,
more than cost of production: second, all
that under a proper control of" stocks the
market will afford,, and third. Just exactly
as much as every other grower for the same
grade of goods? What more can a grower
ask than a businesslike method of handling
the hops and a square deal? The grower
who objects to going Into the union because
he must let the union handle his hops must
be suffering from brain fag If he ever had
any brains.
The Only Possible Way.
It Is the only possible way to conduct this
hop business so every man will get his just
pro rata of the proceeds, and so that there
will be no need to sell any hops under ' 15
cents per pound. .
The grower who thinks be la smarter and
can do better business than the union that
controls the bulk of the hops will find what
a pitiable mistake he has made.
No hopgrower who stops to .think can fail
to see the advisability of the union being
all hopgrowers exclusive agent for the sale
of the hops. This Is exactly what It amounts
to. and It Is In line with the - business cus
toms in vogue all over the world.
This union of hopgrowers will do for them
what unions are doing for laborers, producers,
manufacturer's and all other commercial
bodies. t
It any man has any doubts about the desir
ability of this method of handling hops let
him consult his banker and he will soon, be
undeceived.
Now as to the hopgrower having to sign
up for five years. No doubt it seems hard
for some men to consider this. But did they
ever stop to think that they only sign up for
live years, providing the union movement
proves a success? If the union movement
proves the success we know It will, members.
Instead of w-anting to stay In for five years,
will never think of getting out of the union.
So that in this case the five-year limit Is no
disadvantage. On the other hand. If the
union Is not a success the members can vote
to disband within 3U days after" any 20 mem
bers call a meeting for that purpose.
If the union movement does rot work out
right it will be "disbanded, as soon as that
Is proven, by the ' vote of the majority of
the members Just as sure as -the sun rises in
the morning. Nothing could possibly hold
the union together when It does not satisfy
the majority of the members of the union.
There never was a five-year contract made
yet that was not a terribly losing proposition
for the grower. The man who will not sign
our union by-laws because It binds him for
five years, and yet will go and sign a five
years contract to grow hoos for 1 cents or
0 cents per pound, ought to change places
witn tils eowand no grazing grass like Belze
bub is said to have done.
These are plain words, but written with
no malice. We want the membership of every
nopv rower oecause we Know tnat he cannot
possibly lose by joining- the 'union, and also
because we feel that we deserve his support,
and that public Interest ar.d those depend
ent on hopgrowers for their living have a
right to be and are vitally concerned In the
success of this movement.
It Is necessary to close up the membership,
as In a few weeks at most the California di
rectors expect to go up to Oregon and meet
with the directors of Oregon and Welling
ton to begin the union work.
Besides the question of devising the best
means for restricting production, the dlrectcjs
must arrange .for buying supplies for hop
growers. The union will be able to buy supplies and
bagging very much cheaper than growers got
them last year. Also it Is necessary for the
state directors to get to work soon to pass
on the question of financing their growers.
Kvery hopgrower who has not signed al
ready should take the trouble to sign up at
the first opportunity, and do that much to
insure the success of the union and lfi-cent
prices for IftoS hops. M. H. DUF.ST
DEATH OFJTT. MORGAN
Kx-ltesiclent ,ot Portland Passes
Away in Seattle.
Friends and acquaintances' will learn
with regret of the passing; away tyi
the 2lBt instant of T. T. Morgan, for
many years, and until recently a resi
dent of this city.
Mr. Morgan was born in Highland
County, Ohio, February 27, 1830, being
78 years of age at his death. In 1850
he crossed the plains to California,
prospecting and mining there during
two years, at the end of which time,
accompanied by an uncle to whom he
was devoted, tie went to Australia,
where for 15 years he was successfully
engaged in mining enterprises. He
was married there, and with his family
returned to this country by way of. the
Isthmus and New York, locating in
his native state, where he engaged in
.the newspaper business in Cincinnati
with the Chronicle, Times and Times
Star for more than 20 years. In the
year 1887. with his family, he returned
to the Coast and finally located in this
city, being associated in the insu'r-

ance business with hls.tro sons, T. M.
Morgan and D. B. Morgan, until their
removal to Seattle, two years ago when
he accompanied them there. '
Considering his age, Mr. Morgan was
a man of' remarkable physical preser
vation, which condition he attributed
to atrlctly temperate habits and phys
ical culture, having been up to the
time of leaving Portland a well-kno'wn
member of the Y. M. C. A, gymnasium,
in which exercise he took great pleas
ure and an active part.
His was an unobtrusive, quiet and re
tiring nature, accompanied by an un
swerving devotion to his concept of
duty, service for others to the extent
of a willing, self-sacrifice constituting
the dominating principle of his life.
After an illness of. several months,
probably superinduced by a severe fall,
he passed peacefully away.

LONDON", Feb. 1. The Shjp Tavern, one
of the most famous, of London's riverside
inns, located in Greenwich has closed its
doors after an existence exteirding back
to the days of the great English, states

war against the American colonies and
after whom was named Fort Pitt, fv.sm
which the city of 'Pittsburg takes Its
name. It was at the Ship Tavern that
Pitt Instituted the famous ministerial
white bait dinners during his time of 1
years a member of the ministry.
In the days when Greenwich was a

schedule is for the departure of steam,
ers belonging to the Harrlman lines
from Portland each Friday and from
San Francisco at noon on Saturday.
Until further notice the Rose City and
the Senator will handle the passenger

The latter craft is the property of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company and
is under charter to the Pacific Mail
Company until the opening . of the
Alaska season.
When Portland was a small city and
the old O. R. & N. Company operated
the steamers between Portland and
San Francisco there was a . sailing
every three days from each end of the
line. The Columbia, State of California
and the Oregon made nine-day round
trips between the two ports and
freight and, passenger service was
good. As the city grew' the Servian
was cut down to five days with two
steamers. The Costa . Rica and the
Senator maintained a six-day service

OR E G ONI AX NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 1. The members of the
Washington Congressional delegation are
thproughly imbued with the idea that
Puget Sound, in event of war, would be
at the mercy of a hostile fleet, provided
the American battleship fleet did not
happen to be handy to ward off the in
vaders. The California delegation has" the
same view with regard to San Fran
cisco. Puget Sound, it is argued, is par
ticularly vulnerable -because of the fact
that! ships might gain entrance to the
Sound by keeping out of range of the
guns of the various coast defenses.
Bills are now pending providing for the
construction of a large fleet of torpedo
boats and submarine torpedo-boats for
use exclusively on the Pacific Coast, but
the Navy Department does not look with
favor upon these measures, and it is
intimated that the Secretary, if the oc
casion arises, will discourage appropria
tion's for warships for any particular sta
tion. Congress has never before author
ized the construction of -submarines or
torpedo-boats for any particular station,
but has merely' provided so much money,
and their distribution has been left to
the Navy Department.
Atlantic Coast Favored.
It so happens that the Department has
seen fit to station most of these little
vessels along the Atlantic Coast, and a
, few in the Orient. Thus, the Depart
ment has taken a position which is re
garded as unfriendly toward the Pacific
Coast in both instances; it is' opposed
to the construction of new ships for Pa
cific Coast duty and so far has manifest
ed an unwillingness to give the Pacific
Coast anything like a fair share of the
torpedo-boats and submarines already In
the service.
Because of the adverse attitude of the
Navy Department, the Pacific Coast dele
gations, unless they can get satisfactory
assurances from Secretary Metcalf, are
likely to carry their fight to the naval
committee and attempt o secure spe
cific appropriations for torpedo-boats and
submarines' exclusively for Pacific Coast
service. To pass such legislation would
be to establish a new precedent, bet tfie
Washington men and those of California
seem to be very much in earnest, and
are determined to get some concession
from some quarter.
In Case of Japanese War.
The talk of possible trouble with Japan
Is behind the movement now under way,
and the Pacific Cot5t men who are ad
vocating more ships point to the fact
that as the Navy is now distributed it
would be impossible to get submarines
and torpedo-boats around from the At
lantic Coasf in cane war should be sud
denly declared and a hostile fleet headed
for the Pacific Coast. While the Depart
ment admits this is true, it takes the
position that the American Navy Is to
day superior to the navy of any other
nation bordering on the Pacific, and for
that reason believes that no concen
trated attack would likely "be made. As
for individual ships or smaller craft that
might engage in a raid, the Department
contends that there is adequate protec
tion at the present time.
So far there" has been no talk of sta
tioning submarines at the mouth of the
Columbia River, for the War Department
believes that the seacoast defenses at the
mouth of the river, equipped as they are,
would be adequate to prevent any hostile
fleet gaining access to the Columbia. The
Oregon delegation has had no requests
to secure naval defense for this river,
which accounts for tire fact, that no
Columbia River bills bave been intro
duced. The question in controversy will proba
bly not be definitely settled until the
naval appropriation bill Is brought up late
in the session. In the event the House
bill makes no satisfactory provision for
submarines and torpedo-boats for the Pa
cific 'Coast, the Senators from Washing
ton and California will take up. the sub
ject -when the bill reaches the Senate,
In the hope of securing satisfactory

Men,
The Incurable cases that come under my observation have been those of men
who have neglected to seek treatment in time, or have tried to cure them
selves with electric belts, patent nostrums, a drug store treatment, or some
other worthless means. Such treatments are far worse than none at all. They
nearly Invariably produce complications that are as hard to cure as the original
disease. Sometimes they appear to benefit for a time, but as sure as Fate
their after effects will prove harmful many times fatal. BEWARE OF THBJI.
They cannot cure you. no matter how eloqucntlr they are advertised. Seek my
scientific and sure Direct-Method Treatment, that w-lll not fail to cure-you. Do

There are several reasons why my treatment never fails to cure Weakness In
men. The method I use is direct and positive, the medicine being applied
locally. Its effects, so administered, are almist Immediate, since it is at once
absorbed by the tissues, which are thus stimulated fo healthy action, throwing
oft the poisoned secretions, overcoming Inflammation and congestion and clearing
the blood vessels and capillaries so that they can supply nutrition to the affect
ed region. t
Weakness is usually due to early dissipation, but often is the result or
an improperly treated contracted disorder. Occasionally it is caused by a strain;
or It may have its origin in some inherent defect or abnormal condition. What
ever its 'origin, its consequences are Just as direful and sure. Do not delay Its
treatment if you value your health and happiness. If neglected. It will certainly
