Tho new! from California; brought, up
fryvtha United Press and published in
fTha Journal yesterday Is having a. da
pressing effect upon, hopgrbwers. f The
strike reports from the south have
caused agitation among the local pick-
era, who went out this morning-, and
present indications are for trouble in the
, larger yards. The faf t that one of tne
large yards has offered its picners i
per hundred pounds has added fuel to
the flame of discontent. While It is not
. expected that the smaller yards will be
affected by any trouble rrom ww pick
ers because most of them are operated
, by the families, the larger places will
not likely be so fortunate. Few of the
trover, are navina- over 80c per hundred
pounds for picking this soason in fact
at mis price tney win not do ame 10
make both ends meet at the present
nrlcn of hona or contracts.
More growers have signified their in
tention of allowing the Hops to rot on
the vines because of the 'dtff fculty in
securing pickers at the price offered
and the ract tnnt tne nanus wui not
furnish funds for the harvest unless a
mortgage 18 secured upon tne place.

have. uDon forcing the erowers to pick
their crop. Th-sre Is absolutely nothing
doing in 1807s.
Batter Supplies Are More liberal.
Supplies ofbutter In . the local mar
ket are much more liberal and for this
. reason stocks are not moving off so
well. Three creameries continue to
quote the old figures, but all others are
'.selling at the recent decline. It Is pre
dicted in some quarters, therefore, that
with the increasing supplies occasioned
by the better range, the market will be
down for all grades the coming week.
At the moment, however, those who still
quote the higher prices say they are
experiencing no difficulty in moving
their entire make
Cheese Market la Tory firm.
While there Is but little outside bust
ness offered in the cheese market, trade
is showing firmness. At Tillamook
holders are showing no -.disposition to
press their stocks on the market at all
and thoso who want to buy must pay
the price listed.
Egg market is firm, although many
Healers report their Inability to secure
anytning over zee unless tney canaie
out better. Thlsr they say, is unprofit
able to ootn snipper ana nanaier.
.Chicken Market Zs Heglected.
. Chicken market is fitlll disposed to
show considerable weakness owing to
the large' supplies and the overful condi
tlon of retailers' stocks. Some of the
larger buyers are still willing to buy
springs around 1-tc, but this Is their
extreme limit. For hens they are offer
ing 12H13c many of them not car
lug to go above the lower figure.
Brief Botes of the Trade. .
Market for cantaloupes is mixed -with
filxed quality. Some sales as low as
0c a orate. ,
Peach supplies are enormous and Be
cause of the overripe condition of a,
large per cent of supplies, sales are be
ing made as low as 60o for good stock.
Local pears are in an oversupply, with
(rices ruling between 60c and $1 a box.
Market is full of apples, with low-,
priced stock showing the only move
ment at tne moment, noma nne urav
vnsteins are "selling at 11.25 1.50 a box.
Some demand' is shown on the. part of
eastern manufacturers for chit tarn

WORKED HARDSHIP
TOOL THIEF LANDED HIMSELF
IN JAIL BY'.HIS HANDWRITING
, Members of the street committee of
tne city council hi-ard the objections
of property owners on Tremont street
yesterday In regard to the assessments
for the street Improvement. The chief
objection was against the manner in
which the aaaeanment had boon levlnj.
The adjoin ina block, or. i,. ,.
the usual run of city blocks and Instead
of providing for tli aaaoosment of
property to the center of the block the
brdlnance covering the lmnrovemint
provides only for the flrat 100 feei
WA'CV W0U'1 cover the usual blocks of
200 feet.
Inasmuch as the mannpr nf n.uia.
ment worked an apimrent hardship on
the property owners the committee wax
disposed to be lenient In iu attitude
and Councilman Kellaher moved to re
imburse the property owners ouf of
the general fund. This was domurrfd
to by other members of the niinlit..e
On the ground that If jtuch action were
taken in the present case tin: cltv
would have to reimburse dozen ,,f
other cases which have come iin In th..
past. This revelation marl hv
Deputy City Auditor Hlgel Cruize who
Informed the councllmen that they had
been In the habit .of making the mis
take for many months and to reim
burse all out of the general fund
would bankrupt the citv.
The opuncllmen were in a quandary
as to what to do and finding that thev
could not change the nsseaKmcnt dis
trict to include the roperty in the
center of the block, they derided to
have the city auditor check up all
such Improvements and report back to
the street committee with a view of
determining the amount which would
be necessary to reimburse all 'he prop
erty owners who have thus been dealt
with.
At the last council meeting the mem
bers instructed the auditor to Instruct
the council in the future In regard to
the dimensions of the blocks on which
street Improvements will levy an as
sessment in order that the mistake
cannot be made In the future.
There were about 15 or 20 of the
rroperty owners present yesterday and
hey told a tale of woe that melted
the hearts of the councllmen to the
point where they were willing to reim
burse the property owners out of the
general fund. The petitioners were
mostly persons who had worked hard
to accumulate their holdings and that
the manner of assessing the improve
ment had worked a hardship on them
was apparent to the councllmen.
.The man. who has been stealing tools
all over the city has at last been caught
and has made a confession.' Following
the clew of his handwriting on the
books of second-hand dealers. Detectives
Smith and Kay late yesterdny arrested
Charles Braunwalder, alias Charles
Walder, alias jrmrles Hall, at Front and
Morrison streets. '
Once convinced that the police were
sure of his guilt, Braunwalder, a Swiss,
80 years old, went with Smith to Rose
City park, where he had hidden a box
of tools in the wood. He ha also ad
mitted thefts In Oregon City and Mll
waukie. His case will I hoarO. In the
municipal court Tuesday. .
Braunwalder used a number1 of names
in signing the dealers' receipts when he
sold goods. almost Invariably tools ibe
had found and laid hands upon.' Though
he changed the names he did not change
his penmanship, so after talking to
number of dealers who had bought tools
from Braunwalder, the detectives hud a
very fair description of the-man the
wantod. .
