t During- the month of May a further
decrease was ahown In the consumption
ot beer in the United States. During
the period tax was paid by brewer on
4,807.876 barrel of beer, a decrease ot
a vua,i9 vurrets xrura me wrmiAinuiiifi
period a year ago. Thl compared with
r a decreaee of 88,80! barrels in Janu
ary, 198,961 barrel in February, 6U,
869 barrel during March, and 102,296
barrels for the month of April, 1808,
compared with the aame period in 1907.
For. the first five montha of the year
ui ' decrease in v oeer - cuuvuiupLiua
reached a total of i 1. 291.497: barrels.
, The Urgent decrease- thus far this sea-
eon In beer consumption was io March,
when - the number of , barrels of ' beer
- consumed was showing -a greater ae
crease by 6,111 barrels over that shown
' last month. This was due entirely to
Climatic conditions. . -;
The" great decrease In beer making
means that much less demand for hops.
Nowadays the average brewer will use
one pound of 1 hops to each barrel of
beer, thus showing that the brewers
used 1,292,497 pounds of hops more in
1907 than they did this year. As there
are about 180 pounds of hops to each
bale the decrease ' In v consumption 4s
somewhat startling.
Xop Jrdnrtio Heavy.
While the consumption and make of
beer has shown a heavy decrease of
late, the production of hops Is still un
usually heavy t in fact, the prospects
now are that there will be twice, as
many bales of hops grown this season
as will be. needed. There is still an
unusually heavy carryover of 1908 and
1907 hops and It is estimated that of
the past two years there is a suffioient
number of bales remaining unconsumed
to tide the brewers over for one year
at least. With this great amount of
hops available for brewing and with
decreased ednsumptlon of beer staring
them In the face, it is aulte unlikely
that brewers will continue to call for
so many bales of hops as they, have in
recent seasons. . , ....,-.-, - t
'Instead of diminishing the decrease
In beer consumption is increasing each
month and with hot weather now on in

Astoria, Or., June , 24. During the
past week the fishing situation- shows
signs of improvement, as there has been
a good run or biueDacKs. via usner
men and cannerymeh agree that a good
bluebaclc year meana a -good Chinook
year, and the history of canning proves
It to be true. As the flood is now rap
idly subsiding and warmer weather is
near a big run of fish Is expected' in
about 19 days or two weeka
- Arrangements are again being made
to fit up the motor schooner Erie for
a deep asa fishing cruise off the bar.
She will be equipped In a much better
form than when she went out the last
time. A new and much larger trawl
will be tried this trip. Experiments
have proved that this kind of fishing
can be made a financial success.

. .. Morris Calvin of Paulina, Crook coun
ty.. Oregon's most unsophisticated man,
bought a comlo valentine. It coat blm
a nickla Then h did a little drawing.
A postag stamp . was attached. .The
valentine was addressed to a young
woman. It was dropped In the mail. It
was delivered. .45h objected. , This
morning that valentine cost Calvin $300,
Calvin was Indicted by, the federal
grand ' Jury for sending obscene matter
through the mall. Owlns-. to the- clr-
oumstances of the case and upon the
recommenaaiion or tne district attor
ney, Judge wolverton let Calvin off
witnout a jau sentence when he pleaded
anility in the United Statea court this
morning. . ,- .
UDtu Droueht to. Portland by a den-
uty United Statea marshal. Morris had
never riaoen on a railroad train, had
never seen a steamboat, had never even
seen and didn't know there was such a
thing as street car. .
.Kg- XUps arevat Smacked.
And furthermore, Morris Calvin. Crook
county, Oregon, has never been klsed.
Owing to this fact he has become known
1 uregon's unsophisticated man.
Until last nlsht Morris had never seen
the Inside ot a jail, had never eaten In
a restaurant, bad never heard the rum-
nie 01 a wagon on paved streets, had
never seen an automobile nor did he
know there was such a thing as a bicy
cle. ;
Ha had heard at eltv akvscranere. tn:
be sura but he thought they were some-
ining mat noatea aoout mgn in tne
air.
Morris has never been Inside of a the
atre, -never smoked a pice, cigar or ci
garette, never chewed tobacco and has
never nad a drink or liquor in his life.
And the thousands and on. other
forms of amusement which are afforded
the people of a city are all new to
Morris. . -
But in spite of all the fascinations of
a great city, Morris slept In a cell at
the county tail last nfsrht And his
dreams weren't of music and dancea and
beaut If ulfv rnwncil women and the bun
ofautombbllea But Instead his fancies
were far away in his old home country
In Crook county, and the dreams were
of green valleys and mountains and cat
tle and horses and of the people ha has
known all his life.' and who are natural
and more to his liking.
Xas Good moord Otherwise,
Morris is 22 veara old. TTa Uvea with
his father and mother and has never
been In trouble before. All his life
has been spent on the range and he
had no-anticipations, no longing for
the city. He knew not of the city, nor
did he care, and, he was happy. I
cut last valentines day Morn got
hold of a funny valentine. And noor
Morris fell from grace.
.District Attorney Mccourt stated to
the court this morning that with the
exception of the valentine Incident, the
defendant had always been on his bfest
behavior. Since he was a boy, he aaid.
Morris has worked hard and taken care
of his family. During that time he
haa accumulated nearly 32.000 in cash
and a bunch of horses and cattle.
Owlnar to these Tacts the vouna- man.
though he claimed Ignorance of the
law relative to sending obscene matter
tnrougn tne mans, was let orr with
the $300 fine and without a Jail sen
Tomorrow Morris Calvin leaves for
his home in Crook county. Behind he
will leave with uncle Bam $300 in hard
earned cash.
And for months to come as he rides
the range visions of that comic valen
tine will flash through Morris' mind.
But It won't seem funny any more.

has disappeared : after cashing five
worthless checks. He secured a total
of $63, besides leaving many bills about
town. In the, face of the obecks, which
are in the hands of the police, a man
giving the name of Reynolds and em
ployed as foreman in the Ranck offioe
denied there was anything In the story
of Merrett's wrong doings. Mr. Ranck
does not deny the charge against his
man. . .
Merrett's victims 'were all saloon
keepers. Using Citizens' National
bank checks, he issued them with a free

as follows: A. Lawler. $10; Bert Pear

Little is known here of Merrett. He
has resided In Vancouver for several
months and was considered a trust
worthy, except that he was "slow pay."
