ARMY SURVEYS NEAR SALEM
POLK COUNTY YARD EXCELS
Japanese Grower Has Fine Prospect
1' Tor Big Hop Crop.
The Jnpanese hop grower, C. II.
Mitoma, of Polk county, is acknowl
edged to have the finest hop crop in
the Willamette valley. He has nearly
100 acres of hops that are in the finest
possible condition. There are no
missing hills, he has "them trellised
up 18 feet, from three to six vines
as big as bedeords to the hill, but
more of them four than five or six.
He does not believe in sheeping the
yards. He saya sheep may help a crop
one" year, but they hurt it for the next.
A large part of his crop will go 3000
to 4000 pounds to the acre, says the
Salem Journal. On a large guess Mr.
Mitoma wiirhae 210,000 pounds of
cured hops. Ha has 20,000 pounds
sold on an old contract at 11 cents a
pound He has sold 00,000 pounds to
Joseph Harris for 30 cents, which will
leave him 130,000 pounds to sell at
the top pf thee market. The market
now bids fair to go to 40 eents. In
that event the Jap's 100 acres will
total $00,200 for the crop of 1911.
The cost of making the crop is seven
cents a pound, and at that figure his
net profit will be $41,500.
Mr. Mitoma is a good business man,
and has been in Oregon 13 years,
and the fatalistic number bids fair to
make him wealthy. He was two years
in California, and owns 105 acres of
land on the Willamette river bottom,
the richest hop land in the world. It
cost him over 100 r acre to clear
his land and he employs about 20
men all the year around and a num
ber of horses. He has no desire to re
turn to Jaan to live, but would
like to visit the country again. He has
a wife and one daughter, and all difss
after the American fashion.

The Oregon hop grower is facing
one of the best markets it has ever
known. The price is going to be liisrlt
this season and will undoubtedly
break thee record for recent: years.
Within a few days, un'oss present
indications are deceptive, 30 cents
will be paid here for I ho growing crop.
Many of the farmors and some of the
dealers think there will be a 10-cent
market before the autumn is over and
one well-known Paciiio Coast dealer
has given it as his opinioi that 50
cents will bo reached. At any rate,
the growers of Oregoi will realize -enough
money on their crops this year
to make up for tlwir losses in I ho
past.
Markets Excited.
All the world's markets are excit
ed. The foreign. crips and some of
the American crops are doing badly,
and any way the statistics are figur
ed out they will show a shortage this
year. There have been short crops in
past years, notably in 1909, but until
this year there was always a cany
over of old hops for the brewers to
draw upon. This ye4r tlw slate is go
ing to be wiped clean and tho beer
makers will have to accommodate
their wants to the crop tliat is now
growing. It will not bo large enougli
to meet their requirement1), even w'th
the most favorable weiither from, now
on'. Hence the premium that hops
are commanding.
, The shortness of tin European, crop
is due to the long-continued drought,
which has been especially severe in
Germany and Austria.
Mould in New York. '
In the United States the crop is do
ing quite well, except in New York,
where an attack of bins mould has
played havoc with the vino-t. New
but this year it is not believed tho
state ean show over 30,000 bales.
The Pacific Coast, on the whole,
will huvo a fair crop, and Oregon, for
tunately, a very good one As the Or
egon growers have contracted but a
small part of their crop, they will be
in a position to profit to the full by
the high market. Tho yield in Oregon
this year is estimated by dealers from
95,000 to .105,000 bales.
Allowing 100,000 balos to bj a fair
estimate of the crop it will bring into,
the state, based upon the probable

Fira Threatened Mill
VAUA CITY, Aug. 2 Put forth
timely assistance of citizens of this
city, the mill at Camp 1 up in the
mountains, might have Wen destroy
.i toil Sntnrdav. As it was. one of
j the minor buildings was greatly dam
aged. The entire morning crew uao
rome into town and none of them
were aware of the danger. About .VI
men went from here to fight the fire,
but it was not until late in the after
noon that they succeeded in petting
it under control.
Members of Epworth League Have
Bonfire in City Park.
The Methodist Epworth league
held a "jolly-up" ao"iiil in the city
park Wednesday evening. A large
numlicr gathered at the church and
marched to the park, and many more
came shortly afterwards."' On arriving
at the park they were greeted by the
committee in charge, whu '.:ftd pre
viously hung and lighted Japanes
lanterns, and built a roaring bontire
outside of the fence, kIomi to the
creek.
Musical stunts and games engaged
the attention of all for a share of the
evening. After these were ended, all
gathered around the bonfre to toast
"wienies," wmVh were eafen with
sandwiches. Then all fell to toasting
and eating niarshmallows.
The crowd around the fire, after
thev had finished all eatables in si'lit,
divided off on either aide of the tire
and sang songs in ehoraa and then iu
opimoitioii, rltwintf with "Home,
Seet lb.me" and "Good Night,
I Ladies." All went home prai.-iug the
pox! time they bad spent together.
