(Daily Statesman, Ssileui, Or., Aug. 17,.)
II. J. Otteuhelinerj of this city, well
and favorably known In the hop
trade of Oregon, California and Wash
ington, who returned from the Cali
fornia hop districts on Monday,-- is
enthus'tasuie regarding the "outlook for
the Oregon crop .for this eason. In
conversation with ai l representative of
the Statesman, yesterday, Mr. Otten
heiutor Htrid. in discussing his observa
tions of conditions:; i.
"While In California I made an ex
tended visit to the different lion grow
ing stet ions in California, for the pur-
lose 01 lusiMHruug tiie eouditiou of

of the crop was an large as reported

which reach the public, but .in this
Instauee I believe j that the shortage
in California fully .Justifies' the re
ports that have; lieeu circulated
w'nimia count v. which has alw.tvs
had the reputation of producing tin"
lu st hops on the Psieilic eoiist, and
one that could always be relied ujkmi
lor a gooi yieiit, will not produce
over u.iHio pales as against ls,iiot
bale last year. ;
The yards in j Mendocino county
which virtually comprise the Uussiau
JUvcr locality, a re; also short, and the
yield will W light. In the Sacra
-men to section there are a few yard,
that will have a good clop, lull tm
majority of them will fall short of
last year, and the' same is also true
of Yuba county. ;
"A. Mcnke, of Sacramento, had al
ready commenced picking in his yard
before I left Cahforuisi, and quite
iiumocr 01 growers intent to com
mence this week, but iu "my opinion
those people make a mistake in com
iiietioiug so early. As an e use the.
Claim that they are compelled to pick"
.early in order to nave all of theh
hop. Picking in Alameda count 3" ami

t'onut' Judge Joha II. .Scott yester
day gave ont the information that a
timidicr of. bridges-. In this county,
that are sadly in iieed of repairs, will
!e placed in condition before the fall
rains -set in', so as to iermit the pid-
Iic to- use them ; without -danger to
life, lhftb and proterty. In the short
time he has been iu office i Judge
S-ott has fonml tliat many bridges in
various sections of the count- are
sauiv in ueea or recurs, ami m sme
etise extensive.: improvements will
have to Ik made. i
One bridge in South Silverton. east
of Howell Prairie, Judge Scott found
111 a dangerous condition, and ue
promptly cohdetiiucd tC putting np
notices warning the public ' not to
travel over the. bridge. Within an
hour after the notices had- leen inxsi
tsi. a steam turesluns outnt inm
alotur. and. but for the notices, would
have passed over the bridge, with
tiie result, doubtless, of demolishing
the lrilr' ami proltably causing some
loss or life. 1 his bridge 19 in very
bnl condition, ami will be reliuilt at
once. An approach 120 feet long, at
one end of it, : will be constructed
wiiilo :t 'JOWWit umiu-.i-h-Ii will Im tiiilt
-it the -other end of-it.
The Taylor bridge near .Mehaina
was-found .in bad coiidMtiou, and hero,
too. repairs were ordered. In this
citse'ono of the uuiiu t fruiters of the
bridge was found broken. ; and as
many of the people- going to the
mountains from this valley, jutss over
this -bridge, it iwjss doomed Itest to
make, the reitairs inimcliiately. The
till in this case will be entirely re-
placed, rock licing usetl in building
au abnttmoiit Instead of eapth. thus
making the bridge much stronger,
and the tlauiaged timbers will be all
replaced.
The most ihiiortant work on hatid
is the rebuilding of the Stayton bridge.
Tiiis structure is bwnetl jointly by the

P spans the Sa ut bun river at Stayton.
jind has lioen in bad "idit.iou for a
long time, but the former Linn county
court would do nothing toward improving-
the structure. The 'two liew
county courts, however, are making
common cause, and promise-to place
the bridge In good condition sit once,
so as to remove all . danger to those
of the residents of the two coim ties
passing over it.
These are a few samples of the
bridges to be repaired in Marion
county. The program is an elaborate
one. and contemplates making im
provements wherever nehil. The
exwPse of these Improvements will
not lc grtat. as the greatest care will
be taken to have 110 waste.' but efforts
will be made fo place the bridges and
the ma.in road In better condition for
travel as fast as .possible.
A good start toward making Im
