Careful estimates, however,
place the cost of production thi
year at somewhere from 10 to It

certain to be far In excess of this
sum. A comfortable profit is an

Some hop yard labor has been se

fallen from a maximum of :i
cents to 12 1-2 cents. Any price

However, there is a consldei
able surplus on hand from last
year. There is about H000 bales
still unsold in Oregon, lu.uuu
bales in California, and 2000 in
Washington, a total of approach
ing 20,000 for the. whole country.
Oregon produced 48.000 bales last
year, so that one-sixth of the crop
is rJU unsold.
The chief reason for this short
sale was the shipment of 32.000
bales from Germany. The depre
ciation of the German mark made
it profitable to sell the German
crop abroad, and so one of the
terrors of war and reconstruction
for the Hermans was me saie ji
xher beloved beer hops when
there wasn't enough to make lager
forGermany.- it was a market In
vasion that hit the Oregon grow
ers pretty hard.
KngliHh Market Control
The prices this year depend
largely on the English marxet,
which is always freakish because
of the uncertainty of the English
crop. England produced a record
crop per acre last year, thougn
tbe acreage was smaller than o-
fore tbe war. England is tho

of a lack of funds to pay them.
Commissioner Kramer today said
It was obvious that the govern
ment could not proceed to a rleid
enforcement of the dry laws with
a staff so depleted but that he
was hopeful that there would be
little increffse in illegal liquor
traffic.
Anti-Saloon league officials
were not so optimistic. Wayne
H. Wheeler, general counsel for
the league, declared "a large in
crease in liquor lawlessness was
to be expected to follow a reduc
tion of the federal enforcement
agents from 1200 to 500."
Policy Called Foolish.
He said it was a "very foolish
and bad policy" for the govern
ment to permit liquor enforce
ment agents to be dismissed for
the last 40 days of the current
fiscal year for lack of an appro
priation. Commissioner. Kramer said that
of the 500 men who would re
main after Friday only 350 were
actual enforcement officers, the
ethers being office clerks whose
retention was necessary.
He said that in February the
treasury asked congress for $1.
600,000 but received onlv 11.
400.000. The 1200.000 denied
by congress, he said, had to be
saved and the only way was to
cut the staff. When the appro

(ilil Informs Father '
One of the children whom Hoff
mayer is said to have disturbed
hurried away and informed lifr
father, who was near at hand. He
at once phoned to the police sta
tion and Chief Moffltt dispatched
llaydm to nab the man which ha
did without any trouble. The
condition of Hoffmayer s clothing
when arrested indicated his guilt.
For about three months sim
ilar complaints have been reach
ing the police station, but the of
ficers had besn unable to find
their man until last night, al
though descriptions were given.
This is now accounted for. It is
believed, by the fact that Hoff
mayer owns a horse and buggy
which he uses to travel between
his farm and town. If he is the
guilty person it is presumed that
after each offense he has hur
ried out of town. The officers
have made their searches in the
city.
Several Identify Prisoner
After Hoffmayer's arrest about
5:30 p. m. yesterday Chief Moffltt
took him in an automobile to the
homes or several persons who had
made complaints, and it is said
that he was identified in each in
stance. Also a member of the city
council went to the police station
with his young daughter who
identified the prisoner as a man
who had accosted her.
It was necessary for Chief Mof
fitt to take Hoffmayer to his
farm last night to care for his
stock before spending tbe night
in jail.

JUSTICE WHITE DIES
(Continued from page 1)
college in New Orleans, and fln-j
ally he went to Georgetown col
lege, of Washington, IX C. 1
Served la Southern Army.
Chief Justice White served in
the Confederate army during the
Civil war; practiced law among
the people, of Louisiana, and be
came a sugar planter on its low
lands. His ability, and high char
acter were recognized by the peo
ple in repeated commissions as a
public official. 1S74 be was
elected as senator in the Louisi
ana legislature. Four years later
he was appointed associate justice
of the supreme court of the state.
In 1891 Mr. White became a
national figure. A senatorial con
test was waged in Louisiana, and
he entered the race. He had man-
ged the campaign of Governor
Nichols for re-election and had
been prominent in the reform ele
ment of Louisiana. He had fought
vigorously in favor of the anti-lottery
movement. The legislature
finally chose him to succeed Sen
ator Eustls.
Appointment Made In 1894. ' ,
Chief Justice White was in the
senate three years before be was
elevated to the bench of the Su
preme court of the United States
by President Cleveland, in 1894.
During that period, he distin
guished himself on two occasions.
Once was in tbe debate on the
Anti-Option law, when ' Senator
White made a profound legal ar
gument against the constitution
ality of the measure. The other
occasion was during the struggle
over tbe repeal of the Sherman
act, when he advocated tbe views
President Cleveland was known
to entertain on the subject.
His nomination to the bench
ended a memorable cemtest in the
senate. Two New Yorkers had
been nominated by President
Cleveland, but both failed of con
firmation. Throwing to the winds
the custom which for 88 years had
kept a New York man on the
bench. Mr. Cleveland named Sen
ator White. He was confirmed
within an hour.
Almost as -unusual as his ap
pointment as associate justice was
bis elevation to the chief justice
ship. In 1916, when President
Taft was besought by various fac
tions of the Republican party to
appoint first this man and then
that to succeed Chief Justice Ful
ler. the president boldly disre
garded the custom regarding the
selection of justices from his own
party and that precedent frown
ing on the promotion of an asso
elate justice to the chief justice
ship a.nd sent to the senate the
nomination of Justice White. His
nomination was contirmea imme
diately.
Chief Justice White, who was
a massive figure had been d
scnoea as the "intellectual as
well as physical giant of tbe
bench." One of the greatest
privileges of his position, he often
eaid, was that of dissent, and he
frequently used that prerogative
with great force and clarity.
Unswerving in his devotion to
duty, the chief justice was con
stantly in attendance at all ses
sions. His physician said this
high concept of duty perhaps has
tened his death. He advised, hl'.n
four months ago that be was not
well and should leave his worn
for rest and treatment, but his
reply was that he would rather
die than forsake the bench at a
time when so many Important
cases were before the court.

noble hymn-chorus, "In the

faultlessly rendered. The audi

though a few did venture to voice
their approval where the applause
must have been unanimous under
purely secular occasions. That
was the only music save the con
gregational singing of one hymn
Dr. Doney delivered the invo
cation, following which Bishop
W. O. Shepard of the Portland
area assumed the chairmanship.
Prayer was offered by Bishop
Charles L. Mead.
, Stuntz PreMeatA Speaker.
iBlshop Homer Stunts of Oma
h, one of the most famous of all
the big international figures in
Methodism, introduced the prin-'
ctpal speaker ol the day. Bishop
Thomas Nicholson of Chicago, re
ferring to Nicholson as one of tbe
greatest, educators of the age,
And he. has indeed stood high
college president, president of the
State Teachers' associations of
two great states, and with a solen
did record of educational achieve
ment before coming to the epis
copal cnair.
Bishop Nicholson prefaced his
address by comparing the friendly
eulogy by his friend Stuntz. to
one he once received In a little
publication advertising an Iowa
Chautauqua where he was billed
to lecture. . The scribe wrote It
'Few men are better prepared to
present this great subject," but
poor handwriting and poor proof
reading turned it Into the state
mem mat Farmers are hotter
prepared." The . speaker Dairf a
uae tribute to the farming Indus
try, in saying that it was tbe
farming sections that had been
the first to pay up their obliga
tions to the centenary movement
for the redemption of the world-
that they really were well pre
pared to lead Jn big movements.
Broad Vision I'rged
The speaker stressed the Dolnt
that it is not only important that
the schools turn out preachers.
but that they be better preachers.
with broader vision, clearer logic,
more helpful creeds, stronger
grip on the world 'around them.
He said that the theory that the
schools could "make" a preacher
and a leader, was one of the great
est mistakes; that the glad band
er, the mixer, the good fellow who
had no larger view of his oppor
tunities, had better stay out of
the ministry. The quality and vis-
Ion of the men Is of far more con
sequence than mere numbers, he
scld. In view of the tremendous
confusion of ideas that have fol
lowed the war, and out of which
the world Is building a structure
that needs supervision and not
mere "work" undirected by a
great plan.
"William J. Bryan and Teddy
Roosevelt Ought to have been
preachers; we need their prophetic
vision, their1 courage, their clear
cut understanding of humanity
and of divinity." said the speaker.
j'What could not have been ac
complished with Roosevelt's abil
ity, buoyant humanity and devo
tion to an ideal, if he had been
pastor of a great city church?"
Fathers Had Vision
In colonial times, the speaker
said, there were more college
graduates than any section of the
country has ever known since;
they had the larger vision, and on
that was built the America known
today. It Is the task of the mini
ister of today, he said, to build
me communities a noun a him. as
did the educated and devoted pas
tors of colonial times.
The speaker touched briefly but
with almost prophetic power on
the opportunities laid before the
minister who is willing to make
his job the regeneration of the
world. The offer to Bishop Bash-
ford to write in to the constitu
tion of the new republic of China
an order to make Christianity the
state religion of a kingdom for
thousands of years under the pall
of Confucianism, was one illus
tration of what comes to the de

piven of splendid opportunities

of the world and every man can
be a leader on either a large or

Adequate Preparation -!VleI.
The need of adequate prepara
tion was urged; correct spelling.
orrect mathematics, logic and
history that make a man and his
cause alike respected and capable
if leadership. u great educa
tor himself. Bishop Nicholson is
specially well nnanned to urge
the merits of this adequate prep
aration. The more than an hour occu
pied by the address was full to the
brim with eloquence, prophetic
vision for the college and for the
oollgfan. and optimism for the
world that they will minister to.
Charge Delivered.
Following this address. Bishop
Shepard delivered a very brief In
stallation charge, calling upon the
ntw president to use the power
given to his hands to carry out
the great plans outlined by the
previous speaker.
President Hickman responded
briefly, pledging his best endeav
or to help make a better and big
ger ministry. He hail hesitated.
he said, about giving up his pas
toral work In the east, to come
out to a small, new western
school; but he had come to feel
that he had been providentially
guided, and given a splendid priv
ilege to help carry on the plans
of an educated, sanctified minis
try that should conquer the
world.
Following the Inauguration ser
vices, a luncheon was served at
Lausanne hall of the university,
to the bishops, visiting trustees
and ministers, and a few other
specially invited guests. In the
afternoon the party visited Jason
Lee cemetery.
MieMionary Heard.
Bishop Stuntz spoke In tbe eve
ning on "World Vision." Tbe
speaker was the first Protestant
missionary bishop to the Philip
pine islands; he has spent years
in South America, India and other
parts of the world, and brings
a wonderful experience to bear
upon bis- present work.
ome striking historical illus
tratlons were used during the
course of his address. The Span
ish armada, he said, was destroy
ed by God; for Spain was not fit
to rule the world. To England
was given widespread dominion,
solely because -England as a
Christian power had been quali
fied to lead the backward nations
America has been raised up to
take a commanding position in
the determination of the world,
because she was a Christian na
tion with a mission and the heart
to carry it on.
Chinei. Appeal Told
The speaker told of hovv the
people of China bad once ap
pealed to "Theodore the First''
to save them from the ravages
of the opium that Was being
forced upon their helpless nation
and how the great Ameriean
bad justified their confidence

The house was again crowded
to Its capacity; to bear an address

sublime optimism for tbe indi
