MANY NEW
HOP YARDS
COME In
over Two Thousand Acres
Bear First lime This
Year. Increased
Crops

The hop market is not stirred up
very much, owing TO the fact that last
years crops are well sold on, and
stocks in growers hands are pretty
thoroughly cleaned up, there being
only few hundred bales left in grow.
ers' hands in this county. Dealers
are already beginning to speculate on
the future Of the industry here, and
the statements made by some OF them
are surprising, when the past history
OF the industry in this section is con.
sidered, About as heavy crop as Or
egon has ever produced was that
grown last year, when the states pro-
duct aggregated nearly 10000 bales.
For the coming season dealers who
have made a study Of the situation,
predict far larger crop. provided the
crop averages as well per acre as has
been the case in the past few years,
for the acreage is far greater than in
the past, many new yards coming In
for the first time. II Is estimated that
over 200O acres OF baby" hops will
be harvested this season, and the es
innate, under favorable conditions, for
the coming crop is placed at from
125,0 900 TO 10000 bales, making Ore
gon by far the largest producer OF
hops in the world. New hops are also
being reported coming in in other
hop-producing states, but not in as
large proportions as In oregon, where
the industry Is attracting far more at
tention than elsewhere Many new
yards are also being planted this year,
and in a few years from now the pro
duct Of Oregon yards will double, and
Oregon will indeed become the center
Of the worlds hop growing.
The Watervllle IN. " Times, OF
last Friday, in discussing the local
hop market there, says:
"since the sale of the Marshal VIII
liams lot OF go bales. we have heard
Of no sales, The three holders OF hops
in this town are playing a waiting
game in the hope that their crops will
be wanted, and higher prices than
now prevail. The last crop sold here

Prominent Attorney Talks.
A prominent Salem attorney gives
e following in relation to the stolen
lost or missing city ordinances:
subdivision 5 of section 755 of Bel
hger & Cotton's Code Of Oregon reads
s follows: "other official documents
ay be proved as follows; -" Acts
a public corporation of this state,
a board or department thereof, by
copy certified by the legal keeper
Iereof, or by a printed copy published
authority Of such corporation or de-
brtment thereof"
The effect Of this particular provis-
b has not been declared by the courts
j this state, but similar provisions
hve been under the consideration Of
purts in other states and It has there
BEN held that such evidence was
'rma facie evidence only Of the ex.
itence Of the law and that such proof
'ould be overcome by other evidence.
rhe object of such provision is TO
,roylde an easy and inexpensive mode

Evidence, section $50.
But where the existence Of the law
tself IS put in issue by plea of nul
iel record, then it takes the original
tself as the highest evidence of its
existence, and If the original itself
ioes not exist as shown by the proof,
hen 1t oyercomes the proof made by
opies or printed books.

GETTING TOGETHER
Mine Operators Make Concession to
United Miners.

Indianapolis. March 5.-The Indi-
ana, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania and
Illinois operators have issued their
ultimatum to the miners national Off
GERS and scale committeeman. The
operators in their ultlmatum offered
to reduce their demands for a Is per
cent decrease a little more than half.
They will sign two-years' contract
on the basis of reduction amounting
to half the increase granted the min
ers last year.
This figures approximately cents
a ton on screened coal and proper
tfonate 6 per cent reduction on all
mining and labor around the mines
except the few men, who were adj
vanced last year from $2.10 to 1928.
Those men who were advanced from
1920 however, to $3.50 would lose
half the advance of last year, or IA
cents day. The Indiana operators
also asked for certain concessions,
among them the privilege to run diff
erent sizes of coal now prohibited.
Indications are that the miners will
accept the offer Of the operators, prob
ably, however, with some reserva-
tions. They may object to signing a
two years contract.

What Bradstreet's Exchange Says of

Conditions.
New York, March -Bradstreet's
weekly review of trade today says:
Trade and industry are still irregular,
being active in favored sections, but
in others by the prOlongation of win
ter weather with it's concomitants of
delayed transportation, car shortages
or floods. Southern trade advices, as
heretofore, reveal sustained activity;
Southwestern reports show improve
ment and Western dispatches are
rather more optimistic, though the
year ago in that part of the country,
or the East where wholesale and re-
tail trade are backward. Among the
industries reports indicate activity in
iron and steel and prices of some
grades of iron firmer, but the iron ore
situation is not yet settled, the coke
supply is insufficient and a soft coal
strike overhangs Western industry
generally. The agricultural situation
on the whole is one of great strength
and a record breaking acreage will go
into cotton.
Railway earnings reflect the most
unfavorable winter in many years in

A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
Seems to Exist in Russia Regarding
EnqIand's Intentions.

seems TO EXIST IN Russia Re9aroInJ
EngIand's Intentions.
st. Petersburg, March 5.-There ex-
lists high authority for the statement
that Russia now has reason to feel
more tranquil regarding the attitude
of Great Britain.
The real reason of the visit of Count
Benckendorff, Russian ambassador to
Great Britain, while ostensibly to see
his son off to the far East, was per
socaiiy to assure his government of
lis clief that the suspicious harbored
here concerning Japan's ally were ILL
founded, and Great Britain although
standing by the obligations of the An
Clo-Japanese treaty would not move
unless compelled to do so by the en-
trance into affairs in the far East of
third power.
Count Benckendorff had a long in
te1view with the car as we'll as with
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff and it is
learned that he convinced the authori-
ties that Great Britain was acting in
good faith He conveyed also Great
Britain's assurance that the Anglo
Japanese treaty contained no secret
clauses, and that it was not directed
especially against Russia, its sole
purpose being, according to the Brit
ish authorities, the preservation of
the balance of power in the far East,
which might be threatened by another
coalition such as followed the Chino
Japanese war, and which resulted in
the exclusion of Great Britain from
further international settlement of
far Eastern question. 1t is also cred
ibly stated that the British and
French governments have reached
thorough understanding, by which
they have pledged mutual non-inter.
ference, Russia now feels much more
secure against European complied
tions. The more moderate tone of
both the English and the Russian
press during the last few days is
considered additional evidence of a
better understanding between the two
governments.
