I DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT HEYSE WRITES TO HOP-MEN Of Oregen..Saya Price Will Ge Dewn Beeauee of Overproduction Her and Elsewhere. Hugo Heyse, a big bop merchant ot Minneapolis, advises the hop- growers of Oregon not to hold their hops for a higher price. Following is clipped from the Oregonian and is ol interest to b rowers in tbis Hugo Heyse, a hop merchant of Minneapolis, who was a recent vis itor In Portland, sends the Oregon ian a statement addressed to the hopgrowers of Oregon, which is printed below. Hopmen here wil not agree with Mr. Heyse 's esti mates of the Pacific Coast crops There is, of course, a good surplus of last year's production carried by the brewers of the world, but wheth er this carry over stock will be suf ficient to bold the market down and cause low prices to prevail remains to be seen. Mr. Hevse'a letter follows: "Returned from my annual tour of the Western hopgrowing coun tries, I have learned through various sources that the present condition of the hop market is unhealthy and cannot last, and the newspapers, in most cases through false reports made by false prophets, do not state the true state of affairs. The opin ion ot leading hopmen is that the largest hop crops in the history of the Western countries will be grown this year. There was a large yield last year, but the acreage is greater now than then, and tbe weather conditions have been more favor able. Reports from Portland, Or., state that the crop of Oregon has been estimated at 130,000 bales, but these figures bop dealers say are too low They say that the yield will4 - - . . reach 140,000 bales at least, 1 against its.ooo bales last year The Washington crop is placed at 60,000 bales, as against 52,000 bales in 1905. The California crop at 95,000 bales as against 70,000 bales of last year. To this we have to add the New York crop of this sea son 50,000 bales. That would give to the United States a total yield of 345,000 bales. If we con sider that the total consumption is not over 200,000 bales, there will be a surplus of 145,000 bales. "Supposing we take the first re ports of this year that the crop in Germany is 40 per cent and in Eng land 50 percent less than last year's crop; then we have plenty of hops to supply all the demands of the English market. But according to the latest German reports the hop plantations were greatly benefited by warm weather during the last three weeks. The improvement was particularly marked in Bavaria where the entire crop will almost be as large as last year, and in Bohe mia the well-managed gardens are making fine progress and the crop will be greater than heretofore ex pected. "Taking all these figures into consideration and the further fact that all large breweries here and in Europe are well supplied with hops on account ot the excellent crop of . . 1 . . . 1 , T 1905, togciaer wua me low prices of last year, I think that as soon as the hops are packed ahd contracts shipped the excitement will subside and low prices will prevail. This is my firm opinion, to the contrary notwithstanding. "The hopgrowers are taking a false stand against the dealers, be cause they contracted for to and 12 cents, ana on account 01 tne raise in prices are trying to get back on us, and some dissatisfied growers dropped words to deliver poor and unclean hops, not thinking that we also had to make contracts with brewets on a small margin three or four months ago after closing our contracts with the grow ers, and that we had to be, and that we are, satisfied with a small mar gin in order to be on the safe side. I think it is much better lor every sensible man to be satisbed with a small profit instead of taking chances with the future or an uncertain mirket. "There is a general complaint against poorly picked hops in Ore gon in the last few years, which has induced Eastern parties to buy Cal ifornia hops, and the times are past when everybody said Oregon hops are the best. It the growers do not think about this they will find in the future that they have acted wrong. In conclusion I will say: Boys, keep up the Oregon hops and your reputation. HUGO HEYSE." . No Limit. There is, no limit to the salary the captain of industry Is willing to pay when he sees the man be wants. says H. J. Hapgood. in a recent magazine article. On of the lar gest industrial combinations sent representatives 3,000 miles across the sea to offer a salary of $25,000 a year to a man who bad the quali fications necessary to establish and take charge of its most important departments. This flattering offer was refused, although the company was willing to go even higher, and the claee is still unfilled.

It is true that the demands of business h a vi inrraof1 Artrirmrmclir an A tVi man who was considered above the average twenty years ago, would not be up to the present standards. Human ability, however, has kept pace with the advance in business methods, and the average salesman, executive, clerical or technical man of today is even more capable than one in the same line of business ten years ago. a i. fT ua V AAA JIV W( J V-VA ifA J AJ I not more ability.

This sums up the requirements and the scarcity of men who meet them ex- 1 plains the world-wide search that is now going on. There is no lack of ability, but there is a lack of intee- rity, the energy and the infinite capacity for taking pains, without which even great ability can accom plish little. 'I could make more on some of the goods that are not advertised, if only 1 could sell the dam truck," said a grocer the other day.

On receiving his change, he protests that it wai a "tenner," declaring that he knows it was as it was the only bill of any kind in his possession. As an aid to identifying it in the merchant's drawer he says that he had noted a telephone number on the bill with a pencil, giving the number. In vestigation shows the ten with the number written thereon, and fre quently $9 more in silver is handed out. Ex.

Three track records were broken in the afternoon in tbe running races, nd in the harness c8ou bred horses won both races irom the Californians. A great deal of in- st was centered m two bar- ness events on the F'-ame, dc- Wees owned in Portland in them. I the S pace the victory of Lord Lovelace was popular with the Portland contin gent, because the winner is the property of E. B. Tongue, of Hills boro. Taking second money in this race was Nick-Nack, owned by Bob Brady, a democratic politician. Mysterious Billy Smith started Haz el S , but Hazel did not have foot enough for the company she was in, and the flag fell on her. Lord Love lace captured the race in ' two straight heats, and showed himself to be a colt of considerable class. Ia the 2:25 pace, eleven horses started and half of them were wild horses. Swiftwater Bill was the worst of the lot and Perringer had his hands full. After scoring sever al times Swiftwater Bill wanted to take the fence. In one of his wild plunges he broke his bike and there was a long delay getting them off. After scoring about twenty times the big, unwieldy field was sent away to a fair start. Swiftwater Bill ruled favorite, but he was bad ly out of it at the start and could not catch Lord Lovelace, who took the lead at the start and was never beaded. Nick-Nack, Robert Bra dy's handsome bay gelding, was second, Dr. J. was third and Swift water Bill was fourth. The others were slung out and the flag tell ou TopsyT.,Joe Athby and Hazel S. It was a two-hosre race from the back stretch home between Lord Lovelace and Nick-Nack, Lord Lovelace winning by a neck. Time, 2:12. Lord Lovelace won the race in two straight heats. There was less trouble in getting the field away aud after scoring twice they were all in a line at the word. Lindsay took Lord Lovelace to the front at once, with Nick-Nack close up. Swift water Bill was off better and as they entered the back stretch Swiftwater Bill passed Nick-Nack and there was. A uretty strugclft. between Lord Lovelace and Swiftwater Bill all the way down the back stretch. Turn ing the cut ot the back stretch, Lindsay shook Lord Lovelace up and he drew away from the erratic black gelding. Coming up the stretch Masher came on with a rush with Mandolin and was second, pacing out Nick-Nack under the wire. The race was worth 1000 to the winner. Prunes Dried. .

A telegram to the Oregonian from Salem, dated September nth, says- One man killed, another dying and three more or less seriously injured is the result of a shooting affray which took place in the saloon of 1 William Murphy, at St. Paul, this county, about 9 o'clock tonight, the outcome of a drunken brawl in which a crowd of toughs from As toria, hoppickers, and Town Mar shall J. A. Krechter and posse fig ured prominently. Marshal Krechter is killed, an other, a stranger, whose identity has not been established up to a late hour, is mortally wounded, and Al bert Lambert, of St. Paul, one of the Marshal's posse, is shot in the arm. iwo other strangers are shot, but their names and the nat ure of their injuries are not known here. Sheriff Culver was notified and started immediately by team. The principals in the shooting affair escaped and it is thought will resist arrest in case they are over taken. The hoppickers were from the Hess-Raymond yard, under lease by Joe Harris, a hopbuyer of this city. They had been on a spree all day and made trouble in the sa loon at night, when the Marshal and posse composed of Albert Lam bert and Norce Manacie, went in to quell the disturbance. Trouble en sued and the shooting began. Manacie and several others were al so badly beaten up in the melee. The murder of Joe Krechter has trousetnue"rtttzeti9 of St.-Paul and the . verdict of the coroner's jury was a source of rejoicing. The hop yards around St. Paul have been noted for years for the rough Lrharacters that work on tne neias. ulardly a season has passed, but . .a. a .!. that the saloons of St. Paul have been the scene of disgraceful fights and drunken orgies. Rowdy hoppickers were in the habit of taking the town and run-j nine it to suit inemseives, 10 KM avoid bloodshed the city officials had in the past refrained from placing the rioters under arrest. But the assault yesterday on old man Ray mond was so brutal that Mayor Ray determined to put a stop to it, al though he had hoped to accomplish the arrests without murder.

Mr. Pierce was born at Taunton, Mass., Sep tember 9, 1831, where he lived un til 6 years of age; then with his parents moved to Peoria, 111., where his boyhood was bpcut. lu 185 he departed alone for Oregon, reach ing Washington county that year, and located on a donation land claim near where Greenville now stands. In 1874, under U. S. Grant's admin istration, he was appointed post master at Greenville, and in connec tion with a general merchandise store with the late J. C. Mooie as a partner, held the office for seventeen years, during which time he was one ot this county's best business men. His family consists of a wife and the following children: Mrs. Mary Peat, San Francisco; Charles W. Pierce, member of the Portland fire department, Portland; Mrs. Clarissa Ireland, Greenville; Mrs. Alice Foss, Portland, and Mrs. Elsie Davis, Portland. With the exception ot the past nine years' residence at Forest Grove, Mr. Pierce has lived torty-five years at Greenville. The Weather. The long drought was broken by rain which began in the coast coun ties Wednesday and giadually spread to include the greater part of the state. The rains were heav iest in the coast counties, where they were accompanied by strong southerly wind;:; as the rain area ad vanced eastward the winds subsid ed, and, although the sky for sev eral days was overcast and threat ening, the precipitation was in the form of light showers, that were heaviest during Friday night and Saturday morning. They were suf ficient to check the forest fires and to clear the atmosphere of smoke. Clearing weather set in Sunday, and Monday was a bright, sunshiny day. The temperatures averaged lower than the preceding week, due largely to cloudy afternoons, which prevented the usual diurnal rise during the middle of the day. The clearing weather Sunday was fol lowed by a cool night, and frosts occurred Monday morning in the high, level ' valleys traversing the Blue Mountains in the northeastern portion of the state. The tempera tures Monday night were also dan gerously near the frost mark in the Rogue River valley, and it is pro bable some frost occurred in that section, which will be reported next week. v - i Shoe.. & 1
