According to Information brought to
this city by hopgrowers. foremen nf
fcopyards and dealers, the prospects, for
the coming crop of. hops In this state
are being dimmed mora each day with
a continuation of present weather con
ditions. The foreman of the Andrew
Kan yards at Brooks was -In the city
the other day and tells of poor pros
pects. "I am told," says" Mr. Kan,
'that, our vim at- Brooks, which -con
sists of 150 acres, will not produce over
76 per cent of the crop, of 1907 and
I am doubtful whether Jthe production
will be that much. My foreman tells
me that the missing, hills alone will
cut down the production at least la
per cent and ' the cold 'weather - will
cause, iu per cent toss.

stated mat otner yards in mai locality

of that Immediate vicinity will
not be over half of what it was in

Hop Trade Za Ho so lively,
The spurt In the hop 1 trade last
weeV, during which .as high as 6o a'
f ound, was paid- for soma choice seleo
lons, has dwindled down to a consid
erable extent but with the reports of
smaller acreage ana a .sharp cut In
promised production the trade expects
another period of activity before long.
Borne sales are, however, still being
reported in the fVillamette valley
around 6o and &Hc but most of the
late business has been at the lower
figure. England's buying has mostly
ceased for a time but the constant agt
ttinn nf the hon Interests there for a
tax on imported hops will likely cause
more purchases soon.
Regarding the agitation for a duty
a New York paper recently printed the
following message from London:
"A rMt armv of men and women
interested in the hop Industry In Eng
land tlmolM to number unward of
14,000 held a -demonstration in Trafal-
gar Square this afternoon in iavor oi
imposing a uuiy ui jiv un Hun

tors, with . banners flying and bands
playing, marched to the square, where
J-jngllBtimen wim a. grievnu
have been accustomed to assemble.
- "Speakers from half , a dozen plat
forms harangued the multitude on the
ruin of the-Industry through ine dump
ing of American hops into England,
and resolutions were- adopted by accla
mation calling upon the government
not to delay In helping to reestanusn
the industry by placing a duty on all
Imported hops." ' . '
Hew Tork Hop Market rirm.
The New York Producer's Price Cur
rent lve the following of the situa
tion in (hit hon market:
"The local market has been very firm
the past week, owing to a continued de
mand for choice Pacifies, and we hear
of the sale of one carload of ' choicto
Sonoma s at top figures. It is under
stood that more goods could be sold- if
the quality would suit. In New York
state the activity of last week was con
tinued, one dealer having purchased
close to 1,000 bales at prices ranging
from 7 to 11 cents. -At the close the
market is quiet, as this particular in
quiry seems to be over. Crop news Is
that the vine has made an excellent
tart, and from present indications the
prospects are ror, a good crop, ootn in
niialltv and. ouaritltv. Business with
brewers Is reported at a standstill. The
English market has been somewhat
firmer, reflecting the stiffness in our
markets, crop reports from tnere are
that the vine is looking well." x

000 pounds of woolrill be offered for
sale in Pendleton and Pilot Rock at the
beginning of next week and at that
time there will be a "ehow down" rc
garding prices for this season. k- -
According to the schedule of sales

notiauon, me xirst sate - tnis -neaflou
opens at Arlington on May 23, Satur
day, . . and 700100 pounds will be of
fered. . V , ,' f: - ;. -'
On Monday. May 28, the first sale
for Pendleton will be held and on the
following day a sale will be held at
Pilot Rock. It is estimated that 2.600,
000 pounds conetitute the clip tributary
to the two town this year.. But all of
the clip will not be sold the first sales,
nor will the wool all be offered then.
At the warehouse, here the floor la
new covered with sacked wool that has
arrived during the past few weeks and
when the buyers assemble Monday -they
will find plenty of sample wool to bid
upon. -,-:. ' ',-' ..-:- -
Because of the sale at Pilot-Rock
considerable c wool that formerly- came
nere. xor maraeting is not to oe seen
this yesr. However, the clip of the Cun
ningham . Sheep and Land company,
whose ranch is adjacent to Pilot Rock.
Is conspicuous among the lota now on
hand.
Aside from the Cunnlnaham eomnanv
others having wool now here are C. A.'

Enoch Pearson. K. G. Warner. Joaenh
Cunha. Andy Rust, J. E. Smith Live
stock company, Joe Connelly and John
vynn.
Throughout Umatilla county the wool
clips are of an unusually, excellent
?rac!e this sprlna and according to those
amlliar with the subject the wool Is
much freer from grease and dust than
in the past. It was cold durlnar moat
of the shearing season this year and In
consequence. there is less grease in the
fleecea than usual.
But though the character of the wool
will be better than usual there is little
doubt but that the prices will be lower
than last spring. How much of a slump
has occurred will not be known until
the first ealea day. , 1 -

today is exactly the same as yesterday.
The entire sheep market Is Inclined with
weakness, and while for a while some
Interests believed an early advance was

Its usual funny stunts, for the trade Is
determined to beat down the price of
cattle, even tnougn tne arrivals are

Bmall the arrivals are:

CHAMBERLAIN SAVED THE
REFERENDUM TO PEOPLE
Governor Intervened When Legislature of 1905 Attempt-
ell to Iiush Through Bills With Emergency Clause '
": Attached That Voters Could Not Approve. .f
; "I am pound by the' same oath'of
office as you and other officers 6f
tb state to support the constitution
In letter and in spirit, as I under
stand it, and following the construc
tion heretofore given by the courts
and the people to constitutional pro
visions like tho one under considera
tion, I shall feel it my duty to refuse
to, give my assent to any act contain
ing the emergency clause referred to
unless it is clearly apparent that the
emergency is Immediate within the
letter and spirit of this amendment
to the constitution. The people of
the state should have the right to
avail- themselves of the referendum
clause in the constitution in all cases
except those clearly intended to be
embraced within the exceptions quot
ed." From a message of the gover
nor delivered January 18, 1905.
Governor George- fl. Chamberlain Is
not only the champion but the savior of
,:ie referendum to the people of Ore
gon. Single-handed and alone he stood
out against the machine politicians In
the legislative session of 1905 when
every effort was made to nullify the
constitutional amendment giving the
referendum to the people, and single
handed he won the battle. Had the
governor not taken the stand he did the
legislature of 1905 would have etitab
llahed a precedent by which succeed
ing legislatures rould have absolutely
nullified the working of the referendum
and deprived the people of the state of
that provision which they voted Into the
constitution.
legislators ronnd Loophole.
It is provided In the referendum clause
to the constitution that all acts passed
by the legislature shall be subject to
review by the people of the state, ex
cept those acta which deal with an
emergency affecttn the Immediate pres
ervation of the public peace, health or
safety. Those acts dealing with such
an emergency are not subject to the
referendum.
Searching for a way to defeat the ref
erendum the machine leaders of the leg
islature of 1905 hit upon the schema of
attaching the emergency clause to every
bill introduced and in whtch they had
any especial Interest. The effect of
this course would have been to cut off
from the referendum all bills bearing
the emergency clause, no matter how
vicious in tendency, if they were passed
by the legislature. ,r
Governor Chamberlain noted the trend
of affairs early in the session and real
izing what was intended by the legisla
ture, which was' hostile to him, at once
started In to block the game and save
to the people the right granted them
by the referendum amendment, . On
January 18 he served notice on the leg
islature in a short and pertinent mes
sage, that he would oppose any Juggling
with the referendum amendment and
would feol compelled to veto any bill
passed b'- the legislature with an emerg-

Governor Stepped Xn.
"My attention has been called to the
fact that many, if not the majority of
the bills which have been introduced In
both the house and the senate have an
emergency clause, declaring such bills
to be for the Immediate preservation
of the public peace, health and safety
of the people, thus in effect cutting off
the right to have such laws referred to
tha people," said the governor in his
message. He then continued, saying
that In Ills estimation no bill was for

tion given at the beginning of hla sr.

that he would veto all bills containing

The warning was In part heeded by J
the -legislature, there -being a notice-,
able decrease in the frequency of emer
gencies. Heedless of the warning, how- -ever,
the clause was tacked onto sucl .
measures as the machine leaders were
afraid to submit to the Judgment of the r
Feople. This was done In the .belief -hat
the organization in the two- houses ),
was so strong that If-would be pos.-I .
ble to pas the bills over the governor's
veto should he make good hia threat. Z
Governor Chamberlain made good his
pledge and decapitated bills right and ?
left, stating plainly hia reason to . be 3
that the action-of th legislature hail i
deprived the people of an opportunity s;
of Invoking the referendum. " When it
came to the showdown It was discovered
that all of the legislators supposed to Zp .
ue in tne organization nriie wvum
not stand In, being whipped into line
by the growing public sentiment on the ?
governor's side. . -,-' rfV'jj
The fight continued,' however, until
the close of the session, when the gn-,
eral appropriation bill came up for. con- -v
slderation. Word was passed among the J
machine members of the two houses
that an emergency Clause would ba
tacked on to the appropriation bill. It
would be passed the last day of th
session,, too late for a veto before ad-. '
lournment. and the governor would thua
be forced to either veto the bill or be
placed in an Inconsistent attitude. It
was argued that the governor would"
not dare to make good his threat, since
the bill carried the appropriations for
the entire governmental machinery of
the state. In the bill were Included ap-'
proprlatlons for many purposes which '
had been saddled onto the bill In the
hope that thev would be carried through "V
by the necessity for the general appro
priations for-the maintenance of the')
state Institutions. -
Speaks Plata Words. , ' . v
Governor Chamberlain sent a mes- ..
sage to the legislature while the bill t
was in the senate but not yet up for,,;
consideration. i' ' , t
"While I most respectfully disclaim--,
any Intention to attempt to dictate to
rour honorable body what it should do,
nevertheless feel It my duty, to ex- -press
to you candidly my views with
reference to this bill," Is the war tha
governor put the matter tip to them.
He then discussed the question, quoting
the law and showing where the bill was A
wrongfully drafted. ': He closed with"
this statement:
"In the hope that no obstacle may be ,
placed In the way of the proper main- a
tenance of the Insane asylum, penlten-, ;
tiary, soldiers" home, dear mute, reform

wards of the state, because of. a mis
