Hewlett COURT NOTES the crop has been probnbly over ea- 1 timated. From Favershum it is re- 1 ported that the rain lias come too 1 Into to do much good; that many of the older yards have much too much vine and it is feared that the foliage will smother the fruit and that a small crop of rather poor hops will likely be harvested. From Pethani it is reported that an average crop-of' splendid quality is likely to be liar-' vested. From Wye it is reported thot the vines are rather, leafy but; that it is probnhle that there will be more hops raised than last year in tills section.

"The effect of the war on the wine industry depends entlrley upon the length of th war," said Gier to-day, "but already it lias caused an increase of $1.50 in the price of vermouth. If the war continues California vermouth will be used generally throughout the United States." There is a shortage of champagne in the American market and this may also result in the extensive use of the California product. The importation of champagne has decreased twenty-five per cent. If the war continues and the Importation of champagne is curtailed, California champagne will have to be used." HOP FESTIVAL Committees Are Meeting With Great Success OLD FASHIONED HORSE RACES CHAS.

The interest that is being taken throughout the County in the Festival and Mendocino County Fair leads us to believe that-the celebration this year will far excel anything of a similar naturo that has ever before been attempted in tills section.

The horse races will be one of the big "features of the show. There are at this time ten or twelve horses in training at the track and Mr. H. B. Smith, who is in charge of this feature, states that the public will be treated to the best meet that lias taken place on the local track since the good old halcyon days when "King Horse" ruled supreme at the district fair.

In addition to the trotting and pacing races there will also be running races participated in by saddle animals belonging to private owners throughout the county. This feature will undoubtedly be a banner one. The sheep dog contest has aroused a friendly spirit of rivalry among the sheep men from one end of the county to the other and it is expected that practically every sheep dog of reputation will be entered. Entry blanks for this event are being mailed to the various owners of dogs. The entry fee for this event will be $2.50 and there will be three valuable trophieB awarded to the three dogs that make the best showing.

The judges will be selected with reference solely to the highest order of fitness: provided always, that no person will be permitted to act as judge where he is a competitor in any way. The work will consist of the general home work, i. e. taking the sheep from one corral around a marked course and placing them in another corral. The number of sheep to be handled will be left to those who have entered dogs in the contest, the majority ruling.

The dogs that do the cleanest work with the least assistance from the handler will be declared the winners.

The hop men claim to have a suspicion of the persons responsible for the malicious act. hey stated to District Attorney Stanwood that no report had been made to the authorities for fear that an investigation might cause further trouble. The sheriff's ollice reported today that 100 I. W.

W. were near Lincoln, en route to Wheatland. At the present time hop picking on the Wheatland ranches is progressing without any hindrance from agitators, who, according to Sheriff O. L. have made no appearance.

The Durst Brothers have a large force of guards stationed on their ranch, and Yuba County has several Deputy Sheriffs stationed at Wheat- land as a guard against any sudden trouble." Whether justly or unjustly these acts of vandalism are attributed to the 1. W. W. or sympathizers with them. Should there be any sign of similar trobule here Sheriff Byrnes will be called upon by the hop men to furnish deputies enough to guard the fields.

Spies of the hop growers report that the I. W. W. will turn their attention toward Mendocino county when harvest begins. Norman Nelson, with the Enterprise Electrical Works of San Francisco, was in town yesterday.

The Racing Committee, consisting of J.

L. McCracken, F. C. Handy, H. B.

Smith, J. L. Charlton and George P. Anderson, appointed hy the Hop Festival Association, have made up for three days acing during the Hop Festival. The committee has confined the racing to horses owned in Mendocino County on June 1st.

The financial allowance for a race meeting would not justify outside horses coming here to race. The committe has made diligent inquiry as to all horses owned in Mendocino County that would likely race whqn the time comes in order to get as many competitors as possible and finally when the list was submitted had it not been that there was quite a rivalry between certain of the owners of Ukiah horses it would have been impossible to give more than a two days meeting, but as the programme is now arranged there will be three day's racing sport, on September 1 nth. KRh and 19th, leaving an intermission of two days which will be filled with base ball games and other entertainment which will make five high class and interesting performance at tho Fair Grounds. There are four pacers owned in Ukiah any one of which can step a mile in 2:20, and the owner of each thinks he has the best, and in consequence of their belief they are willing back their judgment by adding evon more to the purse than is given by the Association.
