REPORTS ARE UNTRUE
GROWERS WILL STICK REGARD
LESS OF WASHINGTON.
Oregon Now Fully Organized and Do
ing Business, Says the
Officials.

Fred N. Stump, secretary of the
Oregon Hop Growers association,
and E. d. V. Paul, manager, says that
there is absolutely no truth in the
report that the organization will dis
band if there is failure to perfect an
organization in Washington. A. re-
port having gained currency that this
would be the case was ground for the
above emphatic statement.
"Such stories can only originate
with those who are hostile or selfshly
fighting the association" said Mr..
Paul. "We have not even discussed
the matter with Washington, and as
a matter of fact, Oregon growers are
now organized and doing business. We
have no thought of quitting, regard
less of what Washington or California
may do. "The reports circulated by
Washington dealers are false. We
have direct assurance as late as Feb
ruary % that the California organi-
zation is in fourishing condition.
Meetings are held every few days, and
Hawlett of Hopland, Cunningham &
Blalock of Ukiah, Paxton of Sonoma
and Beardslee of Sacramento are
making splendid progress. We are
more encouraged than at any time
since the organization was started.
"Our own progress is self evident.
We have opened Offices at Salem, are
incorporated and proceeding vigorous
ly with out plans as originally ar
ranged. The state Of Washington is
slowly but surely building up its or
ganization, but even if they did not
proceed it would not affect our work,
as Oregon hops are in no way COM
petitors. "With contracts now at Is
cents, and both England and Germany
plowing up their yards, we are sure
of high prices for the next few years.
With strong association, hop men
of Oregon propose to stand together
for mutual benefit"

Coast Artillery Squads.

Adjutant General George A. White
of the Oregon national guard has re-
ceived notification from the war de-
partment that if four more compan-
les of coast artillery are formed the
department will defray the expenses
of equipment. At present there are
eight companies of the coast artillery
corps in Oregon and to make a full
regiment requires four more compan-
les. The war department now stands
ready to furnish this equipment in ad-
dition to the amount already appor-
toned for the Oregon national guard.
General White says that he will be
glad to hear of any town in the state
where company can be organized.

attic and Spokane some 1000 tons o1
starch are consumed annually. This
starch is now made from corn, which
is inferior, both for manufacturing
and food purposes to the potato
starch, and on which in addition the
northwest must pay the freight from
the central states and send the money
back to the farmers and manufacture
ers Of that region. While the north
west could readily consume the en-
tire product from the proposed fac
tory, the product will also be able to
compete with that imported from Ger
many which is now used in the east
ern states. New rates via the canal
in addition to the tariff on potato
starch will permit the northwest man
ufacturer to use the eastern market
profitably.
"a starch factory consuming 100
tons of potatoes per day will in the
seasons run of six months produce
1000 tons of starch. This will require
100000 bushels of potatoes or the Gull
crop from approximately $4,000 acres
yielding 16O bushels per acre, rs
per cent Of which are culls. The fac
tory successfully used potatoes in
practically any condition those that
are too large, too small, too green,
diseased, frozen or even rotten. Even
tually with the successful manufac-
ture of starch, the manufacture Of po-
tato glucose, potato -four, and potato
fakes may be proftably undertaken.
Points too distant from the factory
to ship may at low cost install green
starch plants locally and ship the
green starch to the central factory at
a reduction of approximately two
thirds of the weight. With only one
or two central factories, the use of
subsidiary green starch plants would
permit every section of the state to
enjoy the advantage of this new mar
ket outlet for potatoes.
"The greatest advantage of the
factory will be in that it will offer
the farmer profitable outlet for the
culls and the excess crop, so that at
all times only the highest grade Of
table potatoes will be turned on to
the market, and thus the table market
price will be maintained at fairly
steady level. In Germany, where
some 150,000,000 bushels of potatoes
are annually manufactured, the effect
has been to practically eliminate var
iation in the price of the table crop
from year to year. I am confident we
can reach the same result here in
Oregon.
"Every encouragement, therefore,
should be offered the men who are
to start this new indus
try. 1t will prove profitable to both
the grower and the manufacturer if
they cooperate with each other in
launching the project.
"Potato growers will be interested
to know that the college, for more
than a year has had manuscript
ready on the potato markets and po-
tato starch industry and that now
the factory is about to be established,
this manuscript will go to press and
be available at an early date. Re-
quests for this publication may be
addressed to the college,

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
ST. PATRIcK's BLESSING.


A short time before st. Patrick died,
he is said to have assembled a high
and blessed the whole island
A translator, some times ago, versified
the ancient blessing thus:
Be Erin blessed at evening hours,
When sunset gilds her fragrant
bowers;
When whirlwinds howl, my blessings
MY generous Erin, still with thee.
To thee be every blessing given
From a favouring sky by bounteous
heaven;
Be blessings on thy bashful maids,
Be blessing on thy battle blades,
Blessed be the fisher tribes that roam
Thy blackening surge and whitening
foam;
Oh! blessed be thy stormy night,
And blessings on thy mornings bright,
Be blessings on thy castle towers,
Be blessings on thy village bowers;
My blessing on thy waving corn,
And every babe in Erin born;
Blest be thy thunder's angry roar,
And every wave that laps thy shore,
And blessed be the smiles serene
Of sunshine on thy forests green;
Where meadows spread, where hill
locks rise,
Where lordly mountains kiss the skies
On every hamlet, vale, and hill,
My blessing be with Erin still.
Oh! blessed be the rain and dew,
And every breeze that visits you.
And blessed be thy warriors tall,
Thy chieftain's dun, thy abbot's hall;
My blessings on thy matrons fair,
Thy mineral treasures rich and rare;
The fiocks that bleat, the herds thai
low,
The streams that MARBLE as they flow
On every cottage, hall, and hill,
My blessing be with Erin still

OPPORTUNITY.

A traveller returning from Greece
tells this story about a statue that
once stood on public highway. The
statue was hewn of marble and it had
the power of speech. The story has ii
that foot traveller addressed the sta.
tue. thus:
80, statue, what is thy name?"
81 am called Opportunity" it an
swered.
WHO made thee?"
"Lysippus mas my master"
why art thou standing on thy
toes?"
ITO show that I stay but moment.
why hast thou wings to thy feet?'
ITO show how quickly | pass"
But why is thy hair so long on thy
forehead?"
THAT men may seize me when they
meet me-
"Why is thy head so bald behind 2
ITO show that when | have once
passed | cannot be caught"
Is not this a wonderful description
of Opportunity?
You can find this statue on her ped
estal in every home, hidden out Of
sight, to be sure, but she's there just
the same waiting to be recognized anG
caught by the forelock. She invites
you to find her and make the most Of
her. Go ahead, children, seize the
opportunity!

Leave your wraps and overshoes in
the hall. Take your hats to the visit

Do not knock, or ring the bell too

Never try to open an outside door

"A big round jam tart with sugar
sprinkled over the top of it,"
Then the lost boys mother and the
policeman both laughed "All right,
Mrs. Carr said the officer, "I'Il hunt
for your lost boy. What is his name?"a
Ills NAME" answered the mother,
lis John Stuart Carr. 1t is very
precious name; it is his fathers name,
and it was his grandfather's. The
name has always belonged to good,
noble men. would not for the world
have anything happen to that name
while my boy is using it.
What could happen to an name?"
asked the policeman.
why, you see, Mr.. Policeman, if
my Johnny did anything wrong while
he was lost people would never say
again, as they say now, you can always
trust John Stuart Cart"
There was little silence in Mrs.
Cars sitting-room, and then the po-
liceman asked, How old is your lost
bOy?"
liz 10 Olly OLA O1O3 0AA0
Mother Carr, ''if you count by his
birthdays; but if you should count by
| the pleasures he has given his mother
and father, he is ten times as old as
that. / think you would take him for
well-grown boy of six And then
she added, He wears eight-year-old
suits"
| That last remark seemed to please
| the policeman, for he smiled broadly
under his bright helmet. What does
John Stuart Carr look like?" he asked.
And then he was very much astonished
at the answer; he had very much eX-
pected Mother Carr to say that the
lost boy had brown eyes, curly hair
and rosy cheeks.
Instead of that she said, in a low,
gentle tone, My little John Stuart
Carr looks like noble little man."
The policeman was so surprised that
he could only say word. Yes, =
said Johnny's mother, "and, oh, | hope
that he will never, never do anything
that noble man would not dol"
| There was another quiet little time
in the sitting-room, and then the pc
liceman said, Madam, believe that
you can find your lost boy yourself il
you will look under tin helmet, and
silver-foil badge, and Mr.. Carr's
blue sack coat"
So the mother took off the police
mans helmet, and badge, and blue
serge coat, and there, to be sure, was
her lost boy-John Stuart Carr!
There was great fun between John
ny and his mother as to who shoult
have the jam tart reward. for it hat
been promised to the policeman, anG
now there was no policeman! But
Johnny said that he had found him
self, and he must get the reward. AS
he followed his mother into the pan
try, Johnny's- mind was partly on thu
jam tart, and partly on the new
strange things that his mother hat
said about his name
