Hop Yields Surpass All
Expectations of Gr0Wers

Newberg.-A visit to the hop yards
on the opposite side of the Willamette
from Newberg discloses the fact that
the crop will be much better than was
predicted few weeks ago. DR., w. E..
Mallory, who has 80 acres which have
begun to bear recently, says that a
portion of these will produce ton
this year, which is far beyond the
yield of the first crop.
c. F. Yeager, who hae IA acres and
employs 65 pickers, begun work Au-
gust &c. He says he has the biggest
crop on one-year vines in that part of
the state and that they will produce
ton and half to the acre.
John P. Ranzau and wife, who have
about 10 acres of hops, have Just com
menced picking. They often employ
400 pickers. Last year a portion of
their land produced three tons to the
acre.
Three hundred and twenty-five pick
ers went to work on the farm of A. J.
Ray & Sons. It is expected that the
picking will last three weeks. The
crop is heavy and covers 1870 acres.
A. ]. Ray & Sons have added to their
drying capacity. 1t takes 100 pounds
OF green hops to make rs pounds of
dry.
At all the places visited an immense
amount of work had been expended in
preparation for crop. Heavy posts
were set and well braced and from
these heavy galvanized wire was
strung on which to train the vines.
The ground was as free Of weeds as a
well kept garden. The expense Of cul-
tivating, picking and putting into the
bins ready for drying is estimated at
6 cents pound. The hop yards above
referred to may be taken as fair sam
pies of those in that vicinity

Japan Charged With Vio-
Lating Chinese Neutrality

Pekin - The German legation has
protested to the foreign office against
an Infringement Of China's neutrality
by Japan. The protest followed the
landing Of Japanese division at the
newly opened Chinese port of Lung
Kow, 100 miles north of Using Tau.
News of the Japanese landing caused
no surprise here, as the Japanese lega-
tion several days ago requested the
foreign office to remove the limit OF
the SO kilometers (about 80 miles) ra-
dius prescribed by the Chinese as the
fighting area around Using Tau.
The foreign Office did not comply
with the request, but it was under
stood that the Chinese troops would be
instructed not to oppose the Japanese.
The Chinese officials are described as
incensed, but afraid of doing anything
that might afford the Japanese cause
for territorial or other exactions.
Whether British forces will cross
Shan Tung with the Japanese is not
divulged, but the point is much dis
cussed here.

NEW POPE Is CHOSEN BY
COLLEGE OF CARDINALS

Rome-The sacred college Of Cardi-
nails Thursday elected Cardial Giacomo
Della Chiesa, archbishop of Bologna,
supreme pontiff to succeed the late
Pope Plus X. His coronation as Bene-
dict XIV took place September 6.
Immediately after his election the
pontiff said he could not imagine how
his frail being was capable of enduring
the enormous weight of responsibility
thrown upon his shoulders, especially
at moment when all the countries 1of
Europe were stained with blood; when
the wounds inflicted upon humanity
also were inflicted on the church, and
when countless victims Of the wal
were being cut down.
The war, he said, had armed faith.

tiff.
The conclave of the sacred college
had been in session since the evening
of August 81, and the final vote was
not taken until the morning of Sep.
tember 8. When the name Of Cardinal
Della Chiesa was cried out by the Car.
dinal scrutineers as having received
the prescribed two-thirds vote there
was much excitement among the mem,
bers of the conclave.
Then followed the traditional form,
ula, the cardinal being asked as te
whether he accepted the election
Amid breathless silence he answered
in the affirmative, but his reply, out Of
profound emotion, was scarcely audi,

moved the canopies from above theil
chairs, this being the tangible sigr
that the leadership Of the church hat
passed from them to the newly elected
Pope.
