vines will be good. while the old
vines all more or less unhealthy,
will yield a more or less inferior
quality of hops.
"Early in the season, when
the young vines were first coming
through the ground. growers,
taking into consideration a new
acreage, thought the crop would
be much larger than in 1904"
says J. W. Graham, prominent
grower of Clackamas county, to-
day. "But soon the old yards
began to show a great many
missing hills, and in some of the
yards the vines showed an indi-
cation of an unhealthy condition,
and soon after reaching the wires
began to color and fail to arm
out. While the new yards of
|the state seem to be doing very
we'll, the poor condition of the
old yards will be sufficient to
bring the output OF 1905 down
very close to that of last year.
"When the lice put in their
appearance a few months ago,
the hop situation for the coming
crop became very critical. There
have been reports to the effect
that lice have disappeared. This
may be true to a certain extent
but all the yards which have
been affected by lice will never
produce good choice hop. The
vines in some yards which were
affected the most were practically
destroyed, for by jarring the
vines in some places the burs
will at once drop off showing the
lice have sapped the vines.
! Again the leaves and vines have
that black, greasy appearance,
which is bound to make Ore
gon's crop for 1895 a mixed lot
of hops.
"Now there have, been all
kinds of reports about this year's
crop. The dealers hang around
a hotel lobby and cry the price
down by favorable reports, and
by manufacturing the supposed
conditions form the price then
, and there. On the contrary,
t growers are sometimes prejudicee
+ because of their interests, and
strain the situation the other
f way. But the observations
t have made about the crops ar
81 facts, and any man can prov
( them for himself by making ;
close examination of the yards.
E "The buyers are claiming tha
t 1904 crops which were held owe
will see TO cents, but they ar
: -fcontracting the 1886 yield at I
e cents. Now, vixen they are al
f ready contracting for a mixed ic

Horse Frightened at Traction
Engine, Breaks Shaft.

There is law in Oregon de-
fning the duties and respons.biii-
ties Of men while operating
traction engines upon the high
ways. From this law rather a
peculiar case has come up. 1t is
the first of its kind in Benton
county.
Last week while mail carrier
Dawson was returning to Coroa1
lis from one Of his trips he met
Leder Brothers traction engine
on the state road south of town.
Now, according to law it is
necessary for the man in charge
of such engine to bring it to a
full stop when a party with
a team appears within hum
dred yards of the engine,
should said party and team be
travelling toward the engine.
The ran in charge OF the en-
gine is obliged to await the pas
sage of the team before he is al.
lowed to start his engine.
On the occasion in question
Mr.. Dawson declares that the
engine was not stopped as it
should have been aud the result
was broken shaft on his buggy.
For this he wants damages, ac-
cording to the account that
reached us.
Mr.. Leder and some of his
men declare that the engine was
stopped as it should have been
within the hundred yards re-
quired. They claim, however,
that steam was on SO high that
it was on the point OF blowing
off, and for fear it would and
scare Mr.. Dawson's animal when
it was right abreast the engine,
they deemed it necessary to start
the injector that water might be
forced into the boiler and in this
manner keep the steam from
blowing off. at this, they
: claim the horse was frightened
rfand cavorted to such an extent
that one shaft was somewhat
broken.
These are the two versions O
7 the affair as stated to us, but i
I is stated that after starting on t.
E town Mr.. Dawson turned bacl

and levels it off. We keep 60
ing over it again and again. be
gin early in the spring and con-
tinuing until the last of June or
the first part of July. After
every rain we stir up the soil,
either with a disk or an Acme
harrow. Finally we plow seven
iuches deep in the ordinary way
and follow the plow with sub
surface packet-a machine which
makes a compact, solid bottom,
four inches from the surface, un-
der the loose soil. Then we go
over it again with the Acme har-
row so as to keep the top soil
loose and pulverized. After
working the soil for year in this
way by what we call summer
tilling,' we put in our wheat,
either in the fall or in the spring,
as is usual. The first year we
do not put in any seed. We
simply keep stirring up the soil
that it will remain loose and
pulverized, and after one year of
this sort of cultivation three
crops can be grown in succession
without renewing the tilling. In
some cases it is better to till
every other year and raise crop
alternate years.
"lf crops are planted every
year the reaper must be itnmedi-
atelv followed by the plow and
the stubble Immediately turned
under and the soil disk and har-
row kept at work all winter if it
is spring wheat, or from the June
harvest to the September plant
ing if winter wheat. The same
rule must be applied to all the
other kinds of crops.
'To repeat: It is simply a
question of the thorough work
ing of the soil, as I have des-
cribed. That is more important
than the rainfall. No man can
expect a crop who simply turns
under the sod and scatters his
seed and hauls harrow careless
ly over the field. Labor ane
pains are necessary to produce
! good results, whether you are
farming or making furniture, o.

"Doc's" Oysters.

DIR. M. M. Davis came out
from the bay Friday on a matter
of business. While here he
stated that things were humming
over at the coast. Passenger
traffic has been good over the c
& E of late and that makes busi-
ness for sDoc" as he is running
the boat between Yaqulna City
and Newport. He reported to
have had great sport last week
trolling for salmon. According
to his report, the bay for few
days was dotted with small boats
loaded with trollers. Salmol
were plentiful, good biters, and
as a consequence boats were il
demand.
Last spring "Doc" ordered un.
told thousands of eastern oysters
to plant in Yaquina bay waters.
They arrived in season and were
duly sowed. At the time of ar.

PAINTERS WAGE SCALE
TROUBLES NAVY YARD
Although Few Men Have Been
Ordered to Quit, it Is Not
a Strike.

The probable refusal Of the Master
Painters and Decorators Association to
pay the advance wage scale which goes
INTO effect on September J. caused the
brotherhood of Painters and Decora tors
70 issue a mandate To the union painters
at the navy yard yesterday 10 quit work.
The painters employed at the yard
u ere paid maximum wage of $3.0l
per diem, and. as was told TO the bust
ness agent Of the local union. this wage
scale could not be interfered with with
out Congressional action.
The painters We're inclined to let the
matter rest there. but the masters as
sociation took Il hand in the controversy
and stated thar. il the painters were al
lowed 10 work AT the navy yard for q
smaller scale than what they were
Obliged 20 pay. they. in all probability.
would be heard from on the question.
To avoid any such trouble the local un-
ion decided the best way 10 avert the
coming trouble was TO withdraw their
members from the yard.
This was done by an order issued
several days ago, which went into eff
feet yesterday. But six men are af-
fected by this order, and their places
Will be nlled at the yard by men pick
ed from the registration list Of the
labor board.
The local union has no desire. how
ever to call this action Il strike, as
very few OF their men are ever at any
one time employed in the yard. and II
was simply to protect their interests
with their masters that the mandate
was issued.
1t is said, however, that the case
Will be laid before the President, and
an executive order requested that VIII
raise the wage scale for painters at
the yard TO the same level as that paid
BY otter Government departments.

TYPHOID
DEATH RECORD
Encouraging Report Re-
ceiyed by Health Officer.
Dr.. Woodward Believes in Method De-
spite Theories Advanced 2 Other
Men of Medicine.

There has been little or no change in
the typhoid fever situation in the LAST
twenty-four hours. One favorable.
phase in the epidemic is The fact that
there were no deaths IN the reports
received by the Health Office since yes
terday at noon. In fact. there have
been no deaths during the last two
days.
Since the report in The Times yeste4
day there have been recoveries
The actual number of cases now under
treatment is 30 there having been sc
discharges by death or recovery.
AS already stated. DR.. Woodward does
not expect any noticeable change in the
typhoid fever epidemic until q majority
OF the beds a the filtration plant are
In use. II VIII probably be the middle
OF September before the use OF filtered
water begins to show any effect upon
the typhoid situation.
There are quite a number Of ply
sicians and others IN Washington who
are not so sanguine as TO the benefits
of the filtration plant. This element does
not believe the filtration plant Will lead
10 any material decrease IL the number
Of cases They attribute the prevalence
Of typhoid fever TO other sources of in
lection, such as flies and impure sant-
tary conditions around the houses and
streets
This much discussed question will soon
be decided one way or the other. DR..
Woodward, as already stated in The
Times. has prepared chart for the
purpose OF tracing the daily effects of
the use Of filtered water. II there are
any DR. Wood ward confidently believes
that filtered water will work equal won

Der OF other cities.

If Russia will buy from her the tslard
OF Sakhalin which is now in the pos
session OF her army. Jasiaa wiz waive
ali claims for a reimbursement of her
war expenses; reiinqnish her demand for
the surrender OF the injerned Russian
ships. and her proposition OF the lirni-
tation of Russia's naval strength in the
Far East.
Thele have been The only questions in
dispute II IS due TO the intervention
Of President Roosevelt that the modlfica-
ton of Japan's original demand has been
determined upon. Her first proposal was
to sell half of the Island Of Sakhaltn TO
the Russians retaining the other hd II.
Z his offer was spurned by Russia for the
reason that such division of territory
would inevitably lead to dissensions IN
the future.
After several days OF waiting for as
surances from Russia tnat further
modification would receive proper con-
sideration. Japan decided to relinquish
the demands which have met with such

slams if the Car would agree TO pur-
chase the entire island al price 10 be
