Hop Shipments Total 96,000 Bales. Portland From figures that have been compiled of hop shipments from Oregon from September 1, 1915, to date, and estimates of the stocks re maining in the state, it is evident that the Oregon crop last year did not ex ceed 110,000 bales. Total shipments since the beginning of the season have been 96, 000 bales, including a quantity of Washington hops, variously estimated up to 1000 bales, that were forwarded to the East by way of Portland. Unsold stocks are estimated at 12,000 bales, of which about 8000 bales are held by the asso ciation and the remainder by independ ent growers. About 2000 bales, it is understood, are held in this state for account of Eastern dealers. Keep the Sheep. The American Sheep Breeder, of recent date, says: "A brooding, dreadful calamity hov ers over our sneep industry according to some ot our sheep prophets. After the war they see wool tumbling down by the shilling. Europe will cry for more wool. Hundreds of factories now Idle will gobble up the supply. Kemember that Germany, France, Italy, Austria and other nations are using little wool today. They cannot in the very nature of things. Yet there is no surplus. There are no Idle stocks save a small quantity Ger many bas bought in South America, which cannot be shipped and consid erable of this is being offered by the Germans themselves who seem quite willing to take the present fine margin of profit. The world's clip is reduced. Sheep stock in most every country has declined. Reconstruction in Eu rope means busy spindles. Whoever heard of cheap anything after a war? The cost of living is higher in every land. With millions of workers killed how can European labor be cheaper? Wages will soar. They must. Tariff or no tariff, this awful slump In wool will not happen. Mutton! This war has no Influence on the market. We are exporting no mutton. We are eat ing more mutton and our supply Is less. There Is no logic in the argu ments advanced by these pessimistic sheep prophets. In fact they have no arguments, Their statements are gen eral, not specific. It's bosh all bosh. Keep your sheep. Buy more if you can get them. All this is rot about after the war makes us smile. There are no grizzly horrors In sight."

Two men are known to have been killed, four probably fatally wounded and a score of others serious ly hurt when a mob, said by the au thorities to have been composed main ly of foreigners, attacked the Edgar Thomson works of the Carnegie Steel company in Braddock. A pitched battle lasting an hour fol lowed, during which 400 shots were fired, but the rioters were finally forced to retreat in the face of a dead ly fire from the riot guns and revol vers of deputy sheriffs and plant guards. The situation is now quiet, but 2000 citizens of the borough have been sworn in as deputies and are patrolling the streets. District Attor ney Jackson announced that he would take steps at once for the deportation of all foreigners connected with the trouble. The riot was the climax of a day of disorder In the boroughs of Braddock and Rankin, during Which mobs stormed the plants of four big steel companies, drove the workmen out and then partly wrecked the Interior of the plants. Many of those injured in the fight ing at the Edgar Thompson works were spirited away by the rioters and for hours after quiet was restored the injured continued to be brought to hos pitals for treatment. Snipers hidden in doorways and win dows near the Thirteenth-street en trance tried to pick off deputies who were fighting to hold back the mob, and two deputies were said to have been hit. Women also Joined in the mad fight to gain entry to the works and two of these were wounded. The two men killed were foreigners.

As else where in the country, the trade is awaiting a settlement of the German question before embarking upon new commitments. With the submarine issue out of the way, there is likely to be a fair revival of buying in the Northwest. There is some inquiry from the East, but the bids are not in line with sellers' ideas. Coast demand is small. Bradstreets estimates the visible wheat decrease at 5,500,000 bushels. The Canadian visible wheat supply is 34,538,000 bushels, against 12,322, 000 bushels a year ago. The oats visible is 13,7(11,000 bushels, against 5,4-15,000 bushels last year. U. S. Steel Earnings. New York All previous records for earnings by the United States Steel corporation were surpassed in the first quarter of the present year, according to the detailed statement for that per iod issued after the close of business Thursday. Total earnings amounted to $1)0,713,624, net income to $51, 218, 550, and surplus for the quarter to $32,854,171. TheBe figures compare with the previous high record made in the quarter immediately preceding, of $51,232,788 in earnings, $40,800,692 in Burplus. Sugar at Record Price. Portland -The Eastern sugar mar ket was Btrong and excited Thursday, and as a consequence of the advance there the Paciiic Coast market was 15 cents a hundred higher. The new local quotation of $8.15 will be a record price for this market. The highest Bugur price in Portland heretofore was $8.05, which waa named on August 17, 1014, and was in effect for three days. Jobbers look for another ad vance in the near future. Predictions have been made that the market will reach $8.50, and may go still higher. Record Fruit Crop Predicted, Olympia T. O. Morrison, assistant commissioner of agriculture, returned recently from an extended inspection tour of the eastern part of the state. Mr. Morrison says that unless unex pected frosts appear, the fruit crop of the state will be a record one. "The crops of the Wenatchee fruit district look especially healthy and if they pass through the blossoming season without trouble, the crop will be an exceptionally large and healthy one, " he said.

Columbus, Ohio. "1 had almost given up. I had been sick for six years with female troubles and nervousness. I had a pain in my right side and could not eat anything with out hurting my stomach. I could notdrink cold water at all nor eat any kind of raw fruit, nor fresh meat nor chicken. From 178 pounds I went to 118 and would get so weak at times that I fell over. I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and ten days later I could eat and it did not hurt my stomach. I have taken the medicine ever since and I feel like a new woman. I now weigh 127 pounds so you can see what it has done for me already. My husband says he knows your medicine has saved my life." Mrs. J. S. Barlow, 1624 South 4th St, Columbus. Ohio. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound contains just the virtues oi roots and herbs needed to restore health and strength to the weakened organs of the body. That is why Mrs. Barlow, a chronic Invalid, recovered so completely, It pays for women suffering from any female ailments to insist upon having Lydia E.

Premier Asquith foreshad owed in the house of commons Wed nesday the intention of tho govern ment to Introduce a bill providing for immediate general compulsion for men of military age. The premier reviewed the recent controversy over the question of re cruiting and gave some figures show ing what the British empire has done since the outbreak of the war. He said the army, which at the beginning of the war consisted of 26 divisions, now amounted to 83 divisions, Including the naval division, and the contribu tions of the dominions but excluding India. After reviewing carefully the condi tions under which recruiting had been carried out, the premier said It had been decided that the men required could not be obtained in due time with existing machinery. He pointed out there was an immense advantage in getting rid of piecemeal treatment of the question, which had given rise to so much objection. German-Americans to Show Loyalty. New York, May 2. A demonstration of loyalty to America is one of the purposes of a great meeting to be held under the auspices of the United German-American societies and the Aus-tro-Hungarian societies at Sheepshead Bay, Speedway, June 4. The day will be designated as "American Liberty day." To remind the people that many Germans have proved their loyalty to this country a series of floats repre senting many famous Americans of German parentage, such as Molly Pitcher, Baron von Steuben, Baron De Kalb, Pastorius, Muehlenberg, Carl Schurz and Franz Sigel, will be shown. A troop of German veterans of the Civil War will march in the parade and a living American flag will be composed of 1600 girls In uniform. Big Drydock Job Let. San Francisco. The contract for digging the "hole" for the largest dry dock In the world was let by the Union Works to the San Francisco Bridge company. The contract calls for the expenditure of $700,000. The remain der of the work is to be done by the Union Works, the total expenditure being approximately $2,000,000. The dock will be at Hunter's Point, on San Francisco Bay. The drydock is to be 1000 feet in length, 125 feet In width and 45 feet deep. It will accommodate the largest ships In the United States navy. Streetcar Strike Ended. Pittsburg. Thirty-two hundred mo- tormen and conductors of the Pitts burg Railways company ratified a wage agreement recommended by the leaders, after conferences Wednesday with officers of the company and bus iness men. Half an hour afterward the first car had left the barn nearest the Labor Temple, where the ratifica tion meeting was held, and in a few hours the service, suspended last Sun day at midnight, had become normal. The firBt oars were cheered as they passed through the downtown streets. Big Warship Goes On Duty. Philadelphia. The Oklahoma, the latest oil-burning Biiper-dreadnaught added to the United States navy, built at an approximate cost of $7,000,000, was placed in commission at the Phil adelphia navy yard Wednesday. The Bhip is commanded by Captain Roger Wills, and her complement consists of 60 officers and 800 men. The huge warship steamed to the navy yard from the New York Shipbuilding com pany's plant. Congress Not to Recess. Washington, D. C. Congress prob ably will not recess for the national conventions. Majority Leader Kitchln of the house said that some measure not requiring the presence of all the members probably will be considered during the convention weeks, so that those who desire to get away may do bo. Senate and house may recess for three days at a time. Norway Sella to 'Britain. London. The British government has bought the entire output of Nor wegian animal and fish oils, according to a reliable report in circulation here. It will be recalled that during the first year of the war Germany was reported to have outbid American and English buyers of the Norwegian output Nuts for Oil, Not Food. Seattle, Wash. Owners of 1500 bags of spoiled peanuts, valued at $12,000, which the state seized on the ground that they were unfit for human food, represented in the superior court that the nuts were not Intended for human consumption, but for manufacture into oils tor soap. The owners therefore seek to have the nuta released and not destroyed. Douglas Fir Superior to Baltic Timber. University of Oregon, Eugene. Under testB conducted by the Great Eastern Railway company of England, Douglas fir has markedly surpassed Bal'tio timber in both compression and tension. Under compression the Douglas fir stood 695 pounds per square inch and the Baltic timber 3950 per square inch. Tests in tension were even more fav orable for Douglas fir. It took 11,450 pounds to pull apart a stick of Doug las fir for a cross section of one square Inch, whereas just half that pound age sufficed to pull apart Baltic timber. The tests were applied to determine the relative suitability of these two woods for railway ties. The figures were received by the department of commercial and industrial service of the University of Oregon from the De partment of Commerce. Other figures received by the de partment show that prices of lumber in Italy are three times as high for the consumer as they were before the war. Austria's requirements of resinous wood in an average year have been about 125,000,000 cu. ft, of which about 77 per cent came from Austria Hungary and 12 per cent from the United States. Imports from Austria have ceased, imports have been stop ped from Roumania, and Russia, Nor way, Sweden and Switzerland are un able to supply the demand. The Ital ians are endeavoring to meet the situ ation by extraordinary cuttings at home, and of course by limitation of consumption. The University school of commerce Is in position of information as to the increased demand that will be made for lumber by countries now at war as soon as the reconstruction period begins. This is especially true of Bel gium and France. In fact the demand already exists and the greatest ob stacle to large shipments is scarcity of tonnage. The department has also gathered considerable additional infor mation on the market for box shooks. U. S.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels of ten get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physi cian at once or get from your pharma cist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irri tates, thus ending bladder weakness: Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effer vescent lithia-water drink. Old But Worth Repeating. An uneducated Scotsman made a fortune.
