"But," continued Mr. Fltchard, "the
decrease In the demand foF'bops" is not
altogether responsible for tha fact that
there will .be a smaller croo this year
than any other year in the history of
hop industry in uregon. The yards
were not wen tenaea last year. in
many Instances that cams under my
personal observation the vines were
given no attention at all. save to re
move the hops from them. The cold
weather of the winter; Just past killed
a great number Of the vines.
r'Tho advice I am giving to the peo
ple of Oregon now. Is to quit raising
nops. Raise oats, and fruit. The prices
on these staples Is away up. There is
always a market. As for hops why
there isn't a profit of a cent a nound In
them any more. If we quit raising hops
for awhile the market will gradually
resumed again.
"The only place In the United States
where better hops are raised than In
Oregon is In New York. Hops produced
there are richer In flavor. Ours are
Jareer. but have more water In them.
BtUl hops raised in Oregon have been
bringing from 3 "A to 4 cents per pound
more than the California product."

'United Press Leased Wire.)
Washington. March 20. After an ex
tended session at the White House,
(secretary or state Knox announced to-nlg-ht
that Ambassador Thomas O'Brien
would remain at his post In Toklo and
that Minister John O. A. Leishman, who
Is now at Constantinople, would be ap
pointed ambassador to Rome to suc
ceed Lloyd C. Orlscom.
No changes will be mado among the
tha ambassadors for several months,
and probably not until autumn. It Is
expected that even Ambassador Orls
com will remain at his post until that
time. It' Is both his desire and the de
sire of tho department that he com
plete the work incidental to the Ameri
can relief to -the earthquake sufferers.
Minister Leishman therefore will re
main at his present post for some time
and his successor will not be chosen
until later.
Secretary Knox also announced that
Charles H. Sherrlll, a lawyer of New
York city, would be appointed to the
post of minister to Argentine, which Is
now vacant. Spencer Eddy was the
last American minister to that post and
he was to have been succeeded by the
present assistant secretary of state,
Huntington Wilson, when he was ap
pointed to his present position.
Henry Q. Ade will be minister to
Spain, according to Mr. Knox.
Further changes of ministers will be
made from time to time as the various
governments signify that the appointees
proposed are acceptable to them. There
Is a disposition, howeveY, on the part
of Secretary Knox and the president
to go slowly, so It will probably be
several months befora J.he designations
are all made.
There was some surprise when Secre
tary Knox failed to announce the ap
pointment of Richard Kerens of St.
Louts as ambassador to Austria to suc
ceed Charles S. Francis. It had been
assumed that the Austrian government
has been sounded as to the acceptabil
ity of Mr. Kerens and that he would
be designated at once.

thraa candidates for tha position of
associate Judge In tha Fifth Judicial
district Tha appointment will ba mada
by Governor livuson tha latter part of
May. Tha legislature at Its recent ses
sion passed a law providing for a sec
ond judge In the Fifth district, as the
work has grown to such an extent that
it no longer could be properly handled
by tha Incumbent, Judge McBrlde.
The three candidates are Frank A.
Taylor, J, A. Kaken and C. II. Aber
cromble. For seven or eight years At
torney Taylor was judge of the district
before Judge Mcllrlde's Incumbency, and
lie has many friends In and out of the
legal profession who wish to aea him
appointed. - . , !.
But tha candidate who has perhaps
developed the strongest backing Is At
torney Kaken. He is well known as ona
of tha leading lawyera of this part of
the state, ana morally and as a first
class cltlsen, stands very high. His
brother Is on the Oregon supreme bench.

"RESORT FOR TIRED

"Llnnton Resort for Tired Men" Is the
name suggested by A. T. Clark of East
Forty-first and Holgate streets for the
new county rock pile on the Linnton
road. Mr. Clark noticed In The Journal
that no name had been chosen for the
place and thinks that his suggestion
would be good.

Spokane. Wash., March 20. That J.
Herbert Anderson, promoter of the
smelter at Ponderay, Idaho, misrepre
sented the facts concerning the bonds
of the Idaho Smelting and Refining
comnanv. now in the hands of a re
ceiver for debts aeereKatlnK J400.000,
and that he Issued an unauthorized
order for the delivery of S285.0OO worth
of bonds of Oeorge S. Brooke, president
or the Fldelitv National banK of Spo
kane, are among the allegations made
by w. D. and T. L. Greenough. wealthy
Spokane mine-owners, who are suing
Anderson.
They claim that when they became
interested in tne smelter tney Knew
nothing of Brooke's claim for 180,000
and that all the bonds not issued to
credl tora. we re available to ralaa f und a
for the ODeration of the plant. They
declare that though Anderson asserted
all the creditors were wining to take
bonds for their claims only about $69,
000 out of $275,000 indebtedness was
naid with bonds.
The Greenoughs hold $87,000 in bonds;
the other $240,000 are held by Brooke
on an assignment from the First bank
of Ponderay, which advanced the money
to the smelter. The stockholders are
bewildered at the Increase of indebt
edness and the strange issuance of the
2,000,000 shares of treasury stock owned
by the company. If the properties of
the Idaho Smelting and Refining com
pany are sold for debts none of the
stockholders will ever get a penny.

They are the white corpuscles, the "Littla

Modern science has demonstrated that these
white . corpuscles are the disease-fighten of the
blood. See the picture in the circle, and tbe ex- '
planation of how they fight for you. They de
stroy the millions of germs, which pass into
our bodies with every breath we take. When the
, blood is poor and thin and deficient in its proper
supply of white corpuscles, the invading germs
warming in, and finding the defending force
too weak to oppose thm, take possession of the
body and begin their work of destruction.
This is the beginning. of an attack of an in
fectious disease such as the grip, pneumonia, and
- fevers, and even of the winter eough or eoM.
The germs of such diseases sweep across the
surface of the delicate mucous membranes of
the throa, tbe nostrils, the air passage of the
' lungs. Nothing can stop their attack or de
feat their ravages, but pure, disease-fighting ,
blood, the blood that Hood's Sarsaparilla makes,
It is also owing to tbe thin, impure condition
of the blood that scrofulous troubles, eVierc a,

As blood-purif yicg tocie axl bealtb-

is pleasant to take, bright, clear and bracing to
the last drop, with no depressing after-effects.
It has cured thousands of people and is prob
ably taken in more homes today as a reliable
family medicine than any other preparation. It
is essentially a blood-maker, a digestive, an appe
tizer, an invigorator that nourishes both brain
and body and enriches the blood.
If you are ill, weak, run-down, have "that
tired feeling," if your appetite is poor and your
digestion bad, Hood 'a Sarsaparilla is just the
medicine for you. If your disease is' of long

qualities necessary to cur yon, and you will
find them in this medicine as in no other.

One of the most prominent statesmen
of Hungary today said:
"England encouraged In the Balkans

been made within six months of the
