Folly to Attempt to Forecast
. Crop Just Now Old
'' Yards Are Dying. ,
",' "By Hyman H. Cohen.
Hop crop prospects are ao badly mixed
; In Oregon this season that it would b
folly at this time to endeavor to give
an tlmat of what tha production
would ba at tha time of harvest thia
fall. - - -
' Every visit to tha hop fields shows
- tha situation even mora mixed than tha
- previous visit Tha one condition that
can 'be correctly forecast at this time
Is that tha old yards will produce ,but
a nominal crop thia season. Every yar
there Is a decreaaing production in the
alder yards of the state. Moat of them
have years ago . outgrown their useful'
sees as producers and ahould have been
replaced, with new vines If a good pro
duction in either quality or quantity
was- expected.
Take theivarda in the vicinity of Wit
sonville that have been set out for 12
or perhaps 15 years and you will find
but a third production this season. In
soma parts of the Champoeg and Butte
vlUe sections soma of tha old timers will
not give even this amount, and aa in
vestments the yards are at present a
. failure, even though tha market price
was sufficient to pay for cultivation
and gathering which it is not at prea-
em ana prospects are inai 11 win not
oe me coming season.
Kalf-He&rted Cultivation.
Tha abandoned area of bop fields ia
not so great an earlier In tha season;
some growers who had left their yards
. uncultivated and -merely tied the vines
are now working their places because of
tne extorts of a gang or snorts ana
overburdened longs to make more money
and cause tha growera to lose, as they
did a year ago. -
Some of the largest ,; yards In the
; state have been ' abandoned because of
. the market situation and at this tlma It
looks aa if a great many mora will mo
unpicked because of the lack of working
capital. Hops are too cheap and-bank
ers are a una in rerusing to advance
money for the harvests Juat by taking
a morta8 on the crop, v Intervlewa
; with many of the leading bankers of
i no siais snow mem opposea wj juair
- lng any money on hops. Just where
the growers will get tha funds for the
harvest cannot be foretold- but those
' who want to- nick their crop believe It
will be forthcoming at the proper
lime,
Take Contracts for Speculation.
A great manv of the contracts writ
ten on the coming hop crop are not
worth the paper they are written on,
according to soma of tha leading mam-
hers or tha trade. Many or these con
tracts were secured by dealers who paid
the, growers a, single dollar to bind the
contract and for this dollar they tie up
tbe crop and will endeavor to sell the
hops to a brewer at a higher price. If
they are -unsuccessful- In this, and few
, have been successful because of .the
already ; overbought condition of the
brewers, the simply allow the contract
to lapse and when the time comes for
putting Up pickiag money they will
simply lanora the paper. This will put
thstgrower in a worse plight -than before
- fore ha baa - spent- considerable money
to! date on. cultivation, and other yard
expenses ana uniens n can secure
Sicking money every cent of this will
a lost. ' .
The boosting efforts of .some dealers
who are long on old hops and are there
fore making an effort to put the market
temporarily, to a figure where they can
unload, and tha talking of higher prices
by tha short sellers, who must have a
larger picaing in oraer to mane money,
has caused many a grower in this state
to borrow money on his farm in- order
to put his crop in better -shape. Each
of these boosters ; : is - doing his part
. slmnlv for his own personal Interest
and each will keep.the grower from get-'
ting any snare or whatever Doost they
may put me marset to. . , f v

.Large crops of wheat and grains of
all kinds for tha season of 1908 are the
reported prospects from every portion
of this section of the Willamette valley,
and farmers throughout Linn and Ben-
ton counties are extremely . optimistic
over the situation, which they consider
the best In years, says the Albany Her
ald. ...
With the excellent grain crops of last
season, agriculturists of this section
were encouraged to plant more exten
sively this year and the result may be
seen In the waving fields of wheat, oats,
and barley., that . "checkerboard": the
two counties. - Fall wheat and oats are
doing much better, everywhere in the
upper Willamette valley this year than
last when the ytelds were considered
above average, and that spring wheat
will also bo better than in 1907.
-High prices which have prevailed for
barley this year have Induced the farm
ers to sow s larger acreage. The pros
pects for this variety of grain are fine.
There i Is a fairly good acreage in
cheat this year though it is not equal to
last season and the crop probably will
not be any more than average. This is
due ttr the-late spring and the cold
and 'ralnv weather that has prevailed
even to tha present time. , . - i :
Spokane, Wash., June 22. The wheat
outlook; In tbe vicinity of the city; tn
the Palouse country and In the Big Bend
country , Is very encouraging and: pros
pects are. that the yield this year will
be a large one. A party of local busi
ness men known for their wide experi
ence In tha grain business returned Saturday-from
a complete tour of the
country .where they inspected all grain.
Among the men who took the trip
were 8.- M. Jackson, manager of, the
state bank of California at Tacomaj P.
F, Fransioli of Tacoma; E. L. Farms
worth, president 1 the state bank of
Wilbur, and W. 0. Weer, manager of the
Spokane branch of the Fransioli firm.
The party left this city last Sunday
week in automobiles, ' The territory cov
ered Included most of the Palouse and
Big Bend country and part of Idaho, la
north and east of Spokane. ..-v-.
Mr. Jackson said; "Conditions In tha
Blsr Bend Point to a lighter cron than
the bumper of last year, but It will fully
equal that of two years ago. , The Wheat
crop Jm the Palouse country beats "any-
tning 1 ever saw ror tnis season Of tne
year, even In that rich district. We
heard only one complaint on our 'trip
and that was from a farmer at Union
town .who said the grain was so rank
that He expected to have trouble In har
vesting it. The crop of Franklin eoun-:
tv will not ba more than half aa laraa
as the crop bflast year;" ' : i
Mr. Fransioli said: "Ranchers ill' and
about Harrlneton heed more rain, but
elsewhere the. -crops have .not suffered.
no damage and I ''think we should feel
pretty good over the prospects this
veer. ' The spirit of content and satis
faction prevailing among the farmers
throughout impressed me."
Walla Walla Wash..' June 22. Near It
m inch of rain has fallen In tha oast
three or four days and the crops through
the walla waua valley are m excellent
condition. Wheat is in the dough and
tbe cool weather and moisture will aid
materially la its .filling.. The continued
dry weather haa made the wbw .
look dubious; but -from present Indica
tions it -will be: but little below nor
mal.' ' Oood rains have been reported
from 'Waitsbursr. Pendleton and all
points In this vicinity.

! GATES WILL NOT
TIP BELLBOYS
Millionaire Discovers Hotel Employes
. Have Been Flaying Him , ,
for 'Good Thing." .
New Tork, June 22. John, W, Gates
has sworn off tipping hotel employes.
He says, however that h may give a
tip to au extra good waiter on an extra
good dinner. It happened this way:
A matter of a hundred or more letters
and telegrams arrive every day at the
Plaza for Mr. Gates. He has been in
tho habit of giving 25 cents per letter
or telegram when delivered to his room
or in any part of the hotel by a bell boy,
"I never gave much thought to what
this habit cost me," said Mr. Gates yes
terday, "but I guess I have been 'stung
to a very nice extent" - -
The bell boys at the Waldorf and
Plaza, where Mr. Gates has made his
headquarters, discovered this 26. cent
habit Perhaps several ' letters would
arrive at one time. The bell boys would
stamp them at intervals of ons to two
minutes apart and a long line of boya
would keep busy making their way to
the room of Mr. Gates. . Kach, arrival
meant a new quarter.
Yesterday Mr. Gates had an unuaual
number : of telegrams. It so happened
that one arriving at five minutes to 13
o'clock did not reach him until five
minutes after 1. , It waa dated at noon.
Mr. Gates was just a bit provoked
and started an investigation. Then he
discovered that his letters and telegrams
always arrived one at a time.
. "Guess that is going some," said Mr.
Gates "going fast enough anyway to
keep me from giving any more tips In
a hotel. I go on record now and for
ever as swearing I will never give a tip
in a hotel, no matter where I am." .

AT CALL FOR CASH
Edward Barry, Theatrical Manager,
Sues Lawyer for His Salary
and Expenses.
New Tork, June 2. In tha Third

ture. , Barry "is auing for four weeks'

ing outsiders butting in under the pre
tense of backing a company, and, after

Barry testified that he had met Mr,
Handy in the apartments of Ellen Page,"
a chorus girl, living in Seventieth
street, , As a result of this meeting
Handy told him that If he could obtain
an acceptable theatre and hire a stock

Handy, and a few friends would back
the project.
Barry said that aome time last Jan
uary he submitted an estimate of ex
penses for running the stock company,

About April 1 Handy told Barry that

him were getting tired of the delay,
' So Barry arranged to lease the
Academy of music in Jersey " City's and
on May . 4 last Handy ' gave lilm a
check for $30, telling him to have the
lease made out in his own name, sa he
(Handy) , didn't want to be known as
the "angel." Handy also gave him a
check for $160 to get a suitable play,
and oe said he paid this to Sam French
for "Mrs. Temple'a Telegram."
- Some days later, after a discussion
about the salaries to ba paid to tne ac
tors and actresses Barry said Handy
told him he had misrepresented things
and that all was off.
Handy said- he had never engaged
Barry, and had told him he was merely
a promoter, acting for others. It took
so long to pry this and other state
ments out of the defendant that Justice
Murray adjourned the caa , until this
afternoon.
CUT OFF ARM TO
GAIN SYMPATHY
Curious Mania of Frenchman Who
Puzzled Doctors With Slmu- '
la ted Disease.
Paris, June 22.-A remarkable story
has been related at the academy of
medicine by Dr. Paul Dleulafoy of the
case of & man ' who from a mormld
desire to attract attention and sympa
thy willfully allowed the amputation
on an arm for the sake of curing an
imaginary disease. .
Tne subject enjoyed excellent health,
waa intelligent and well-bred and was
employed In a government office, where
he enjoyed an excellent reputation,
When his misfortunes first-began be
waa the center of friendly solicitude.
That was a few years ago. At that
time there suddenly appeared on hla
left arm a number of raw sorea The
man consulted several physicians. Their
diagnosis was almost always ainereni,
and the treatment Invariably unsuccess
ful. The sores were so persistent ami
rendered the poor reuow so unnappy
that a surgeon finally suggested that
he have the arm amputated. Thai patient-
consented and tha operation was
performed.
ore Appeared.
' Three months later the aorea ap
feared on the right arm and then on
he feet. The patient Bought consulta
tion at the Hotel Dleu with Dr. Dleula
foy, one of the most celebrated prac
titioners In France,
.The physician studied the ease thor
oughly. He waa forced to reject one
hypothesis after another until one day
tn the course of an examination he
noticed that the sorea were similar to
those made by potash burns. He piled
the patient with questions, and ac
cused him of causing the sorea himself.
The patient met the insinuation at first
with indignant denials, but finally con
fessed the truth. Under the dominion
of an impulse too strong for the will
to overcome he had made all the sores
himself with potash. The same impulse
forced him to submit to amputation.
' Banuurkabls Case.
Dr. Dleulafoy said that this was one
of the raoBt remarkable cases of simu
lated disease that he bad ever noted.
Many patients imitated disease for the
sake of the pleasure It gave 1 them
morphlnomania.es, , alcoholics, and tha
like.
In the present case, however,' no
pleasure was attendant utton the imi
tated disease. The patient suffered ter
ribly rrom the wounds, and stood the
auf faring heroically. The f " successive
treatments which he was forced to
undergo were costly and tedious, as well
aa painrui. in Tact, the case was so
stranen that there was no word exactly
to describe it To find a suitable one
Paul Bourget and th doctor together
then evolved the word "pathomlme,"
which may ba rendered "disease mimic."
