Another big ranch deal was consum- mated in Tombstone this week, when E H Reeves, as administration of the estate of Thomas Haberstok sold to Mrs. Mary NJ. Costello, the entire ranch property of the late Thos Ha- berstok. the sale having been confirmed by the superior court last Saturday.
 The consideration for the ranch prop erty and improvements. was in the neighborhood of s, 500. and the cattlc brought an all round price of 80 9 per head. There are approximately 26O head of cattle that have been ac- counted for so far, which means total e nsideration of about Ss,OOO, or for the whole properly a total considera ton of sl3.5O0
 This is considered one of the most important ranch deals in these parts for some time. as it is known that there were several parties, including the Bo quillas Company that desired to pur chase the ranch and cattle belong ing tc the estate.
 Mrs Costello also purchased iron Mrs Fred Nussbaumer. her homestead adjoining the Haberstok ranch. amount ing to l60 acres. and this gives Iargt pasturage to the cattle and much valu able land Her son.

MAY PASS UP UGLoW AVENUE.
Improvement of This Thoroughfare
Likely to Go Into Next Year.

1t isn't probable that Uglow ave-
nue. will be improved this season, al
though the councilmanic body has de-
clared its intention to do so. There
is much other street work under con-
struction at this time and Commits
sioner Greenwood will do well if he
completes what he has already under
taken without taking on this thor
oughfare. The curb on Uglow avenue
has been finished by the contractors,
and the remaining work will prob
ably go over into next year. There
are several cuts and fills to make in
the improvement, but there is prac-
tically enough earth there to make
the grade uniform. Engineer Tay-
lor says not to exceed four yards
will be needed from other places. The
to other streets are 60
ing forward with as much speed as
possible. More rock at the quarry
was uncovered last week, and "shoot-
ing" has been carried on to con-
siderable extent during the past few
days.

now chancellor of that great school,
only a few miles distant from the in
stitution whose policies DIR. Wheeler
directs. 1t is highly entertaining to
compare the views of these noted ed
ucators on the vital subject of mill
tary preparedness as a peace invcen-
tive. In recent interview DR..
Wheeler is quoted as saying: "We
should not deceive ourselves upon
this subject of preparedness for war
Those who aid in deceiving us do us

ESTIMATE GOES LOWER
MR.. PATTERSON OF cola GIVES
HOP YIELD AT 100000 BALES.
Blight Has Been Serious Factor to
Contend With in Polk and Mar
ion Counties During Year.

That the Oregon hop crop this year
will not exceed 100000 bales was the
statement made by |. l.. Patterson of
the firm of Gilbert & Patterson, own
ers of large hop ranch near Eola.
II there are heavy rains during the
picking season, Mr.. Patterson said
the yield would not exceed $4,000.
No matter what conditions may be
until the crop is harvested, he said
there would be an unusually large
percentage of inferior hops. Probably
rs per cent of the crop of Oregon is
grown in Marion and Polk counties,
continued Mr.. Patterson. "Blight
has been serious factor to contend
with in the two counties, but with IA
vorable picking weather we should
have large quantity of good hops.
1t is difficult to make a prediction
as to the prices that will be receiv-
ed. England, / am informed, has
only about half the crop produced
there last year. If shipping condi
tions are good, Oregon growers should
get fair price for their product.
The yield in California is about the
same as last year, which was large.
Conditions are such that Oregon
growers must insist upon clean pick
ing, which will aid prices material
ly."
J. S. Cooper of Independence, and
connected with the Hop Growers as
sociation, who has inspected many
of the yards in Marion and Polk
counties, also estimated the yield
in the state at not more than 100000
bales. In summing up conditions, he
said: "In the Jefferson and Inde-
pendence districts the hops are gem
orally in good condition and clean.
There are, however, several yards that
will not produce enough hops to pay
for the cost of growing think there
are yards that will not be picked un-
less there have been underestimates.
The hot weather had aided several
yards, but others were too far gone
to have any effect. Lice and honey
dew have wrought havoc in several
yards. Spraying saved the hops in
the bottom lands, where spraying is
necessary every year, but in the up
lands, where there has been little
spraying heretofore, the lice have
caused great damage. The honey dew
this year has been worse than for
many years.

Oregon Hospitality.

itors 10 shelter they lind welcome

ling log fire sends out a grateful
warmth from the big fire place and
those who have visited the reception
room have nothing but praise for
0regon's hospitality. Anything free
of charge at the fair will draw a
crowd. The Oregon building was
packed the day loganberry juice was
given away. the announcement having
a double attraction, something free

visitors had never tasted the beverage

Log Storing Resumed.

The Willamette Lumber company
of this city resumed the storing of
surplus logs this week. and will con-
tinue until it has five million feet of
timber on the new dump recently con-
structed for the purpose. The OBJ
ject of storing the logs near the mill
pond is TO have an abundant supply
during the winter months, when log
ging is carried on at a disadvantage.
The company aims to close its camps
for two months the coming winter.

amount daily from storage. This. it
Is believed. viii make a considerable
saving. and that Is what operations

So far as observation goes, every effort
made by the ring politicians to hamstring
the direct primary. has met with defeat
in the state legislatures this winter Some
wanted to insert minating convent IN
that should winnow the candidates down
to small number, and others wanted to
limit it to the smaller groups of voters on
the plea that opportunity is lacking for
intelligent selection. Citing the fact that
there is not single argument urged
against the direct primary that is not
equally applicable to the general election
is the easiest way of closing this deb tie.

The Waste OF War.

The cost in dollars and cents is one Of
the cheapest arguments against inter.
national warfare, yet It is one of univer-
sal interest and most readily compre-
hended. Since the beginning of the
present European war. foreign nations
have issued an aggregate of 6.724 million
dollars new loans. Leaving out of &C.
count the loans for non-war purposes it is
estimated that the war loans to date foot
up 5.o78 million dollars. This does not
include new issues or loans that are now
pending.
The annual cost of the approximately
six billionsdollars in war loans is about
27o millions, or more than sufficient TO
meet annual dividend requirements on
virtually the total American railway
stocks; and it is bringing in no returns.
Add to this commerce that has been lost,
the destroyed industries and the human
energy that is impaired beyond recovery,
and we gain slight conception of the
waste of wealth in the present war-a
waste that the entire world must bear.

In these troubled times, when every
day shows more clearly the dangers that
confront even the most sincere neutrality,
the hearts of all Americans should 90 out
10 sympathy and support to that solitary
man sitting in the White House at Wash
ington who carries the welfare of one
hundred million people so largely in his
hand.
His is staggering responsibility. II is
the greatest that could be laid on the
chief executive of any nation in time of
peace. No American since Lincoln has
borne such burden-has been confront
ed with issues which are so big with fate
for the land we love.
It is easy for those who do not share
his burden or realize its tremendous
weight on heart and mind to say what
ought to be done under any aud all cir
cumstances. But his is the solemn duty
not only of saying but also of acting; not
only of acting but also of doing SO with
the knowledge that the welfare of his
fellow citizens may hang upon his course.
