Fort Stevens, Or., Jan. 22—Conster­
nation was caused yesterday by the cap­
ture of two Japanese who were found
loitering in the west battery of Fort
Stevens.
The sentry, while walking hie poet
to the west hattery, suddenly came up­
on two Japanese who were walking on
the parapet of the battery.
As thia
place is unfrequented, except by special
permission from the district artillery
commander, the sentry hid behind a
sentry box and watched their move­
ments. Seeing them point to the dif­
ferent guns and emplacements and look­
ing over the situation in general, the
sentry took the men into CMtody and
marched them back to the main poet.
They were then interviewed by the dis­
trict adjutant general, B. H. Kerfoot,
who could obtain no satiafactory expla­
nation for their trespassing.
Although nothing of an incriminat­
ing nature could be found upon their
persons, indications are that they were
at the p>rat for the purpose of obtaining
plans and sketches of the different for­ ,
tifications and modes of defense.
The Japaree.* were very well dreeecd
and seemed to be above the aveage in
appearance and intelligence
The fact
of their being in the west battery, prob­
ably the meet important battery on the
Pacific coast, makes the situation much
mote aeiious than it would otherwise
be. The hattery consists of six Ill-inch
rifles and two 6-inch rapid fire guns,
and is considered to be one of the most
potent factora*in the defense of this
part of the coast.

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
GATHER HOP DATA.
Pacific Coast Hopgrowera* Association
Wants Oregon Acreage
Aalem—The board of directors for
Oregon °f the Pacific Coast Hopgrow-
an’ union met here last week and form­
ulated a plan for ascertaining th« nature
of all the hopgrower» in the stale, the
acreage of hope owned by each, the
names of growers who have eigne») the
conetitution and bylaws of the union
and the acreage of each.
It is expected that this information
will be at hand and complete » xm > and
then for the that time II will be known
definitely how many acres of hope are
grown in Oregon. This information is
necessary in order to ascertain the pro-
port on of acreage repie-ented In the
union and also the names of growers
who are needed as members but who
have not joined.
The work of gathering the statistics
was designated to the aecietary, Joseph
Rannigartner, and arrangements were
made Ur raise a fund of »1,000 to pay
the immediate expenses of the organi­
zation work in Oregon. While no par­
ticular effort will be made to learn the
acreage of hops that will be plowed up
this season, it is probable that a pretty
fair idea of the extent of the plowing
up will be gained.
