Hop Crop Disappointing.

Portland - Hop growers in Oregon
are keenly disappointed over the small
crop that is being harvested this year.
Early in the season it appeared to be a
big yield of l40, 900 or $50, 900 bales.
but it is doubtful now if the crop will
exceed 100, 900 bales.
Some we'll posted authorities believe
it may fall to S5, 900 or 80, 900 bales.
Last year Oregon produced 127, 900
bales of hops.
The vines made good start in the
spring and gave promise of a record
yield per acre. Early in the summer,
however, the wet weather brought on
severe attack of hop lice, and in
spite of all the efforts of the growers
they could not master the plague.
Spraying was resorted to promptly
by most of the farmers, and some
yards were gone over four or five
times. At first it seemed as if the
attack had been checked, but the
weather was against the growers, and
the vermin reappeared.
Not only in Oregon is the crop COM
ing down below expectations, but the
entire American crop will be much less
than was figured upon.
In Washington hops are doing better
than in other states, but the yield this
year is lessened by the plowing up of
much acreage in the western counties.
In California adverse weather has re-
duced the crop, and New York hops
also suffered from unfavorable weather
conditions.

Armored Cars Victorious.

Petrograd-The war Office has issued
the following statement: ''In the

took prisoners more than 60 officers
and about 5000 men, with some ma
chine guns. From reports received it
appears that in the fighting on August

The demand was never better and the
fish roll out at cents pound. They

and for that reason are demanding a
higher price. The run is good and
large catches are being made daily.

whales off Grays Harbor, or more than
has ever been taken here before in a
single season, is predicted by Manager
James F. Brown, of the Bay City

only can prevent phenomenal catch.

REFORMATION AND SANITY.

Gradually we are coming to a saner
attitude in r~eformatioas A few
years ago when the magazines were
undertaking everything and everybody
we became frenzied in our determine
ton to clean things up and clean them
in a hurry. In Jul zeal we overstep-
ped ourselves, with the result that we
had legislatures and city councils pass
hundreds of reformatory laws that
have proven utterly worthless as cor
receive measures. Now there is an
insistent demand from thinking rural
newspapers for fewer laws and less
lawlessness,-for more sanity in law
making and less ms unity in law en-
forcement. There are still some re-
formers who demand absurd and ur-
enforceable laws to further their ideas
of morality or to advance themselves
politicall.:. But the day of the re-
former is rapidly pc'sing and tie
dawn of constructive statesm;.njhip is
breaking. The statesman of the future
will have to answer in a political way
to his constituents. No longer may he
crate of the glories of the flag, the ad-
vancement of the pee-pul, or the grand
old bird whose wings trail in the At
lantic and Pacific oceans, whose beak
dips in the waters of the st. Lawrence
and whose tail feathers trail in the
Gulf of Mexico. We want no more
bombastic oratory; we demand facts
and figures and results. When a pol
itician recommends the passage of GER
tain laws, we will ! ok to him for the
good results from these laws. e he is
instrumental in the passage of laws
which further restrict our liberties,
increase our taxes and bring in their
train law violation and G]isrespect for
law, that politician must answer to the
people who put him in power. We
want no more perfervid %peroration-
lists; we want doors. We want no
more quacks with prescriptions; we
demand doctors with cures.

PLANTING TREES.

To secure the best results with trees
tie right varieties need to be used and
tl.ey should be planted in the right re-
lation to the buildings. One way to
this information is to make a
rough sketch of the buildings, indicat-
ing the directions and sending them to
the North Dakota Experiment Station.
The Horticultural department will re-
turn a drawing showing where trees
should be planted in order to secure
the best results. The varieties and
where to place them will also be in
dictated.

OUR PLAYFUL SCISSORS

Sometimes we are convinced that
some of the state movie are
not really censors at all but "kidders."
They like to have their little joke, it
appears, and laugh silently in their
sleeves at our discontinue. If this is
not the case, how we account for
some of the s~enseless censoring they
have been doing. Some of them the
other day took a whack at one Mr..
William Shakespeare, who vas an
English writer of verses, although it
is said that Germany claims him for
her own. In one play called "Romeo
and Juliet" Mr.. Shakespeare is said to
have several scenes which, probably,
the very young would not understand.
Therefore the censors ordered these
scenes in the films cut out, evidently
taking it for granted that what the
very young would not understand, the
older persons had no right to see. The
same excellent reasoning would apply
to the Bible and a great many of the
classics, to say nothing of some Won
derful pictures and works of art.
Some other censors also ordered in a
recent film cut out which showed
a "close up" Of a dead body, and
another scene showing corpses being
slidden into the grave. AS these were
WOW niot,,roc 4horo con no pothinp nor
ticularly demoralizing in showing the
horrible effects of war. We wonder
just how far these censors will go. 1t
is a strange trait of human nature
that when a man becomes by law a
censor of public morals, or assumes
that power to himself, he Immediately
oversteps the bounds and becomes a
public nuisance.

Forty Thousnd Horse Power

The large steam turbo-generator re-
Gently installed at the Waterside sta
ton of the New York Edison Company
has a capacity Of 10000 horse power.
1t is large enough to furnish power
for two ~dreadnaughts, or for several
ordinary cities.
A turbo-generator is a steam tur-
bine engine and an electric generator
mounted on the same shaft. In plain
er words it is a mechanical device to
change steam energy into electrical
energy so it can be distributed over
copper wires to where it is needed for
power and light. In odrer to realize
the tremendous power of this parti-
cular turbine you must imagine 49,
900 large truck horses hard at work.
This tremendous piece of machinery
is 81 feet long, 10 feet across and IA
feet high, and its vitals are protected
by solid steel castings, giving it a to-
tai weight of $4,000 pounds. Sta
ton No. 2, Of the Waterside group,
houses the new unit which was install
led in the space formerly occupied by
two turbines of smaller capacity. This
machine was built especially for the
New York Edison Company by che
Gen'l Electric Company at the Sche-
nectady works.
To members of the electrical in,,u.:-
try it is known as a 30,000-kw. ten
stage, high-pressure turbine Of he
Curtis type. The set consists Of a ten
stage, high-pressure turbine and a
two-stage, double-flow, low-pressure
turbine on the same shaft. Setam that
drives the highpressure blades ex-
hausts into the low-pressure turbine,
where whatever is left Of it's energy
is utilized. From this chamber il ex-
hausts into the condenser and becomes
impotent water once more.
The turbine operates at 1900 revo-
buttons a minute and the peripheral
speed of the low-pressure buckets Is
more than nine miles a minute. :s;ets y
is supplied through 16 valves at the
front of the unit, at a pressure of
about 1876 pounds to the square inch.
The %condensing system necessary to
handle this tremendous amuont of
steam is of the surface type and it is
estimated that there are about $4,000
feet of cooling space in the compact
apparatus. The ~condensing is accom-
plished with river water through the
assistance of 75,000-gallon pump. But
although this great machine is gen.
Grating enough force to drive several
large steamships, it's operation is al
most soundless. Aside from the soft
kissing of the imprisoned steam, only
a steady drone is heard.

Washington, Dec. 25.-(Special)-
Senator Gronna will throw his influ-
