V Possibly the biggest real estate deal ever , consummated at one time in the history of the state, in point of acre age and consideration, according .Ho current rumors, is about to be carried out when Krebs Bros., well known as tbe most extensive hop growers in this state, if not on the Pacific coast,' dis pose of their entire holdings in land in this and Polk counties. Although confirmation is lacking it is understood that this well known firm of hop grow ers and dealers is about : to sell all of its lanu, including tbe - extensive hop yards, and go out of the hop busi ness entirely. It is reported that the two farms, 653 acres in Polk county and 400 acres in the vicinity of Brooks, this county, .have been offered for! sale and that negotiations are now pending for their disposal. This rumor has been in circulation for the past few days, but no confirma tion could be secured. Yesterday af ternoon, . however, when approached with a direct question of whether or not the firm's holdings were being of fered for sale, Conrad Krebs, the busi ness manager for the firm, would neith er confirm nor deny athe rumor and armilil Anlv fata that Ha tiaj) nnOiintt " -- " " to say for the present upon the subject except .that the firm had no intention -whatever of selling its holdings Of 1904 hops for at least a month . yet, although numerous offers were being received for .the purchase of from 100 to 1,000 bales. lie declined .to discuss tbo reported offer of their entire ""hop BUSINESS r for Infants tind Children.

BEER A LIQUID Prof. Weber of Ohio State University Draws Line Sharply Between Spiritudus and Fermented Lfquors-Bccr Is I Professor Hqijry A. Weber of the Ohio State University, in a report recently published, drew the line sharply between SPIRITUOUS and FERMENTED liquors, basing the distinction mainly on jhe relative proportions of alcohol and extractive matter they contain. The extractive matter he characterized as the FOOD VALUE, and he referred to BEER as the ONLY LIQUOR -WITHIN HIS KNOWLEDGE IN WHICH THE EXTRACTS OF FOOD SUBSTANCES WERE, IN QUAL ITY, IN EXCESS OF THE ALCOHOL. . : i According to his investigations, the average beer contained in the neighborjiood of 4 per cent, of alcohol, and such a beer could consistently be classed a "PERFECT FOOD- although the substances called for in a "perfect food" were not present . in their proper proportions. Even, the alcohol in these beers, in his opinion, through its oxidation and its effect on heat-producing energy, must be regarded as ENHANCING THEIR FOOD VALUE, an opinion which has. also been expressed, after exhaustive scientific experiments, by JPRdR ATWATERS, of Wesleyan; University, as de scribed in the previous report and other eminent authorities. . . Prof. Weber states that he would advise the sale of beer in the ordinary dry towns 4S A LIQUID FOOD ence to the so-caUed tem or less; and that he did not jconsider that the : consumption Of a beer containing 4 per cent, of alcohol, "AS A FOOD FOR THfPURPOSE OF SUSTAINING LIFE' WOULD TEND TO CREATE DEMAND FOR A KlORE STIMULATING, BEVERAGE OR PROMOTE THE INCREASE OF INTEMPERANCE. . acreg for h1 , and what could be obtained .is , only ia the nature of an uneonormea rumor.

NEW BAUNFELS, Texas, July 20. A mob tonight battered down the doors of the county jail and lynched Sam Green, a 16-yearrold negro boy, who attempted a criminal assault at this place Tuesday night .on the 4-year-old daughter ' of William Karbaeb, a Ger man farmer who lives near here. The mob-could 'not. break into the cell where the prisoner was kept so tie leaders thrust guns through the open ing in the steel walls and fired three shots.

The general sessions conference of charities and corrections today were devoted to ''criminals' -, and "neighboring im provement. ' The report ' of the com mittee on criminals by James A- Leon ard, chairman, was submitted to the conference. Leonard was unable to be present in person. The report' said in part: -" : : . ' ' The head of one large reformatory institutions gives it as his opinion" that fully one-third of the young men' com mitted to his institution could be re claimed through suspended sentence for a period of probation. To this end the judges should be given a much wid-J 3 a; II xl 1 ir uiscreiion yiuau tuey can exercise un der the law in most states of the Un ion. Youthful first offenders from the age of, say 16, found guilty of penal acts, but who, in the judgment of tbe court, are not of criminal bent, should not be confined, but entered upon the reformatory rolls under suspended sen tence on, at least a year 's probation "Any of these found repeating crim inal conduct should be promptly com mitted to the institution, while those serving their probation in good faith should be discharged -from the legal custody of the ' reformatory without prejudice. ' To introduce this feature in the ideal reformatory it will be neces sary to obtain -additional legislation, but experience and observation, strengthened" by the opinion of those long engaged in the work, leads tq the belief that this "probationary feature should be added to the reformatory system without delay. If in addition to a wise administration of such pro bationary law all officers charged with the prosecution and custody of crimi nals were placed on fixed salary in stead of the. mischievous fee system now in vogue in many states, the cen sns would show a remarkable falling off in penal institutions for young of fenders." 1 Must Be Swift.

' "To effet'ivelv prevent crime pun? ishment must be swift and sure. Borne of the rules and practices of law should be mortified. Probably the most prolif ic source of complaint is the importance given by the law to the technical forms of procedure in criminal cases. Errors and irregularities in indictments and in the course of criminal trials if they do not affect the substantial rights of the accused should be disregarded. The right of appeal has been abused. And appeals on technicalities should be abolished. Our criminal procedure should be overhauled to bring it into harmony, with the spirit and needs of the time. , We should pay more atten tion to the substance and less to form. but the rights of the accused should be surrounded by ample shafeguards.

That question was de cided beyond all possibility of a doubt at a meeting of the finance committee last evening, which was held in the of fice of -Dra. Byrd and Smith.' It was also ' decided to have the specifications for the proposed building drawn up from the plans, .which . have already been prepared by Architects , Pugh St Legg, in order that bids for the con struction of the college may be invited by the first of next week. It is pro posed to have the building in course of cost ruction by August 1, that It may be finished or enclosed before the rough weather of winter sets in, and tue building complete, outside of furnish ings, etc., will cost about $15,000. : During" the meeting of the committee last .evening the whole matter, was gone over completely and in detail, when it was. decided that there was a sufficient amount of money in sight,- already sub scribed, to warrant going ahead with the work and a building committee. composed of Dr. J. N. Smith, C. P. Bishop and E. P. McCornaek, was. ap pointed to manage the affair from the present stage until completion. ; The plans as submitted by the architects were also approved as a whole and all is in, readiness for work as soon as bids are received and the contract awarded. The building, as described . in The Statesman of last Saturday, will be a two-story structure with basement and attic. The structure proper will be of brick, and the design is drawn after the latest approved models, for this character of building. The structure. when completed, will ? not only be credit and improvement to the uiver sity and surroundings but to the city as well, and wni stand for ages as monument to the enterprise ? and - un swerving efforts of the finance commit tee, as well as to the generosity of-, the subscribers to the fund, and an ever lasting benefit and improvement to the community. According to the present plans the basement of the buildine will be used for a "chemical laboratory, the first floor proper' will be divided into class rooms, the second floor, space will be devoted to lecture rooms, while theattic, which will be -quite spacious, will be used for a dissecting and clinic room.. The building will be located in the north west corner of the university campus and situated about a hundred feet back from State-and Winter streets, respec tively. The erection of this building will prove quite an innovation for Willam ette University, which is one of the old est and most noted of educational insti tutions on -the Pacific coast. The med ical college is rated' as the best -on the coast and is equalled by none outside of the city of San Francisco. The new building for the college, which has been needed for -many years past, will not only add dignity to the entire institu tion but an everlasting credit to tne state, church 'and city, and too much credit for its realization cannot be giv en to the members of the finance commit tee who are directly responsible for its accomplishment. "WORD TO WISE" NOTniNO BUT PTJBEST OF SUL PHITE SHOULD BE USED FOB CUEINO OF HOPS. Unless .Oregon Growers Take to Using None but ,Befined'r Grade of Sul phur There is Danger of Losing Eng lish' Brewers as Customers. ! (From Wednesday's Daily). No little comment has been occasion ed by the discovery, through- scientific analysis of the properties, of arsenic in beer in sufficient quantities to produce poisoning to- the consumers and the re sult is bound to be a reform in the manner of, curing the hop- It has been determined that the arsenic complained of exists principally in the sulphur that is used by the growers in curing their bops and the upshot or the whole thing is, according to the opinion ox an au thority. upOa the subject, that unless the Oregon growers resort to the use of nothing but the 'refined , brands or ssi phur and desist' from the. use of -the more inferior brands, known as crude Sulphur, tbey -will soon find their -pro duct without a market on the other side ' of the Atlantic and the brewers of, England have proven themselves to bo. the best customers of . the Oregon growers.-f -'-'. , ; -, As a result of the death: of several people; in j the north of England as a result of arsenic poisoning from beer, tbe nglish board" of,'trade Reminded that all dried hop should be put to a thorough -chemical test to ' determine theis arsenic 'qualities', before . ; they &3 c!cc3 t!i3 ttl 2Syccrs. Caclosel wii evory tctSe to sTwCt, p acL. cf CroVe.' I weuld be allowed to be used in the manufacture of beer on that ' side of the continent. "John Carmichael, a prominent hop dealer of this city, was called upon to, and did submit a series of twelve samples of hops from Oregon growers! These, samples were analysed by the government chemist of England with the result that all but two of tbe samples " contained proportionately more arsenic to the pound of sulphur used than was permissable and would not be allowed to be used la the manu facture of beer in ngland under the late dispensation. The limit of arsenie fixed by the English government as al lowable in hops is I'lOO grain to the pound of sulphur used in earing, and the two Oregon samples which were ex cepted from the list submitted as being admissable showed from 1-100 grain to 1-140 grain of arsenie to the pound of sulphur Used, while -one of those listed as unsatisfactory ran as high as 1H grains of arsenie to the pound of sul phur. : : - ; - - - -v ' ' This, Mr, Carmichael says, ought to be sufficient warning to the Oregon growers in choosing the quality and amount of sulphur they use in the cur ing of their hope, and, if they benefit by the; information as they should- it ought to be the means of Oregon hops becoming famous for their purity and freedom, from arsenie poisoning. The first two samples, characterized as being admissable to the English market on account of the low percentage of arsen ie -poisoning, were cured by what is known as the rolled-canary bright yel low refined sulphur, and bright canary yellow pea sulphur (refined), all other ten samples were cured with crude sul phur. Another thing Mr. Carmichael says, is that the Oregon growers, that is the majority of them, hare the idea that it 'requires one pound of sulphur ;to the box of hops, or fourteen pounds dried, whereas, if a superior quality of sulphur is used, that is the refined arti cle, it should require only due-half pound of 'sulphur to the box of hops. Through the kindness of Mr. Car michael The Statesman takes pleasure in reproducing for the benefit of the Oregon growers, the letter received by him from his " firm in England, com menting upon the result "of the chem ist's analysis of the samples submitted, together with, the chemist's report in detail. They follow: "Mr. John Carmichael. ' , ; "Dear Sir: Owing to the agitation rn England on the subject of arsenie in dried hops we hsve been requested by tbe board of trade to investigate this matter and we have made a most care ful analysis of the samples of sulphur, fertilizers and spraying-emulsion you submitted to us some time ago.- We enclose you our chemist's report, which, speakes for itself, and to our mind auite disposes of the necessity of inves tigating further the. source of trouble as regards the presence or arsenie in Oregon bops. "Will you be good -enough to take up this matter at once with ail grow ers and warn. them of the 'danger' they are running in not using the purest sul phur obtainable. After the advice we are now able to give. there is no excuse for growers not producing a hop practi cally free from arsenic. It is most im portant in the interest of growers gen erally that this subject should be' tbor- i n a l - - ougoiy veumiiie'i. "Some few years ago several people died in the north of England from ar senical poisoning, caused through drink ing certain beers. In -this particular instance the arsenic was traced to the sugar used in making the beer and sev eral brewers and sugar refiners were ruined, one of the iormer pouring as much as 50.000 barrels of beer down tbe sewers. It was. discovered that arsenic was to be found in hops, with the result that tbo English, board of trade determined that the minimum amount of arsenic to be allowed in any bops used was to be 1-100 of a errata to tbe pound of" hops. The merchants used all their influence to have this amount increased to 1-50 of a -grain to the pound ot hops but without success.. The lx) n don merchants now have each their own expert to whom all samples, re reived are submitted and they will be unable to put base any bops, whether domestic or foreirn, which contain more than 1-100 part of a grain of ar ecnie to tbe pound of hops. "Many English growers' samples show k very much larger percentage of srsetiic than any samples received from the Pacific coast which may be account ed for by tbe fact that tbev drv' lartra ly with coke and smokeless eoal in an open fireplace, and .that they burn their suipnur in tne ore itself. "Once, a train if the Oregon growers win use only the purest refined sulphur there is no reason whatever why all their hops should not pass the test. '-, yours truly 'London. England, June 28, 1903." Chemist's Beport. "Dear Sir:. I now beg to report the eight samples of sulphur received from you on June 14. The only: two satis factory are Jo. 7 ; and .No. 10. o. 7 shows 1-140 gram of arsenie per pound of sulpbur and there is no evidence of selenium. . "So. 10 shows 1-100 frraia of arsenie and no evidence of selenium.' "All the other samples are Unsatis factory. They contain dangerously high arsenie rates and- also 'show dis tinct evidence of selenium. Selenium. as I explained in a previous report, is a 'Very objectionable form of contam ination.

By this I mean that earh sample at least contains the amount of arsenie stated and may contain more. 'As the arsenie shown in mv analy sis 'is so high as ' to render necessary the condemnation of these sulphurs for hop drying, the exact determination would only "tend to strengthen that condemnation.

The death roll yesterday was" twenty-six, but that of today reached the appalling total of seventy-five, be ing nearly half of thoso prostrated. This was almost entirely due to tbe collapse of women and children and aged persons, whoso exhausted vitality was unequal to tbe strain of further suffering. - After a night of sweltering, heat spent by thousands ia tbe streets, in the public parks, oh piers ajong the river front, and in every vacant place that promised a breath of air," tbe con ditions that confronted the people of New York this morning were terrify ing.
