sILvERToN HOP CONDITIONS
Mold Is Spreading and Many VIII
Not Pick.

Hop picking has commenced in
earnest, but there is not the usual
stir this year among pickers and
growers, and in reality hop condi-
tions take on a very discouraging
| appearance. In many yards near
here. 1t is said, mould is spreading
to an alarming degree and 1t is be-
lieved from what can be learned
that picking in some instances, which
/ has already commenced, viii be
abandoned. A message received
from the Gunderson yards on Howell
prairie, is to the effect that they Till
not pick and several others who have
made arrangements to gather in the
crop will not begin the harvest, and
the product which in former years
has distributed thousands of dollars
among the people of Silverton Will
rot in the yards. This will have
quite serious effect upon the finan-
cal condition of those who depend
upon the work in the hop yards each
year to furnish the necessaries of
life.
In expressing his opinion regard
ing the condition of the hop yards
throughout the valley an old grower
said he believed the crop would
largely be ruined before it can be
harvested The damp, chilly nights
and hot sun of the day, he said,
threaten to devour the entire crop
unless climatic conditions change.
Last night was little more favor
able for the crop, but the change
apparently came too late. Growers
have resolved to make this the ban
ner crop and in all cases where
mould exists the hops will be LETT I
on the vines.
The low market has had a serious
effect upon the 1907 crop also, as
some growers will be obliged TO
abandon the harvest through lack
OF means to furnish pickers. Here
tofore banks were loaning money on
the crop and the growers had no
difficulty to secure money with which |
10 conduct the harvest, but, It is un-
ierstood, the local banks will not /
accept hops for security this year
md the only thing left for the grow
'r Is to contract for hops in the
Yard for what he can get, and this
caves very small margin, II any,
or the seller OF the product. Many
If the growers In Silverton will not
accept such a proposition and be-
ieve II is bette. % leave the hors
n the yard and take chances on get
ing a better price for the next crop.
There seems to be considerable logic
n this theory and II woud no doubt
De good thing for the growers in
he future II all would allow the
'rop to spoil. The scarcity of hops
aused from such neglect would
'roably bring the price OF the next
rop up to a paying basis.
Pickers are coming to town on
very train but are confronted with

New York, July 19-District Attorney
Jerome told Clarence j. Shearn to-day
just what he thought OF Hearsts lawyer.
The explanation was in no way veiled OF
gentle. and at the end Of it Shearn pro-
tested that Mr.. jerome misunderstood
him. Then Shearn apologized and said
that he had meant no reflection on Mr..
JerOme's personal character and honesty.
The storm died down, but the Hearst
lawyer showed more consideration after
ward for Mr. Jerome's feelings.

Of the district attorney in the two Sl00,e

which attacked jerome editorially as being

alleged contributions to the Jerome cam

tan accident suits, a few years ago Bags
was q discharged Metropolitan investi-
gator and Tillinghast a professional jury
man, who had been sent 10 jail on his
own confession.
Their statements made q deep impress

preston that Tillinghast was an old foe
and Bagg q liar. But felt, despite that
that both men were telling some truth.

Bagg and Tiilinghast. but from q lawyer

discovered, for instance, that tho Metro

claimed:

quiet tone. full Of earnestness. he replied
