BIG HOP YIELD PREDICTED.
Growers Say Oregon Crop Will Equal
1918 and Be Of Better Quality.

That the hop yield in Oregon this
year will equal that of 1913 is the
prediction of numerous dealers and
growers in Marion and Polk counties.
The growth of the vines was retarded
early In the season by the cool wealth
or, but with the warm weather the
plants made remarkable advance,
and are now as thrifty as could be
expected. Hal Bolam, a conservative
dealer, thinks the yield in the state
viii be about $4,000 bales, the same
as last year. He also declares that
If nothing unexpected occurs the
quality will be superior. Others say
from present indications the yield will
be larger and the quality better than
in 1918.

Suit Is Instituted.

Mrs. Waltman started her damage
suit Of $500 against the city this
week, service being made upon Mayor
Eldridge. This indicates that il
wasn't "bluff" as most people
thought. 1t is needless to say that
the city will fight the case from A
to z. More people are more con-
cerned about the school question than
they are the damage suit. A dis
sension between city officials and the
superintendent of schools may prove
Of demerit to the best interests of
the schools. Lack of harmony be-
tween school board and ,superinten-
dent is not pleasant state of con-
ditions.-Monitor. ,-.

Jan. /, requiring signatures of the
majority of white adults, both men
and women, before saloons can be
opened, was made by Judge Asher
yesterday in the Argenta case. The
Argenta petition was printed in the
Argenta paper several weeks before
the law took effect. Judge Asher
held that the publication is void
because petitions must be printed
ten days before they are filed in
court The Argenta paper again
printed the petition yesterday which
means the case can not again be
heard until July 70.
The saloons in Little Rock and
