BIG MONEY IN HOPS THIS YEAR
Value of 1908 Crop in Oregon Will
Reach Nearly Three Million
Dollars.

The world at large knows very
little of the Oregon hop crop and,
except in those business lines
brought specially into relation with
it, has no conception Of its magni-
tude. And yet the hop crop forms
very important element of the
states products.
This has been fortunate year for
the hop growers. His crop is larger
than he had reason to expect and
what it lacks in size is more than
made up in the high ruling prices
of the product. Careful estimates
indicate that the production Of hops
in the state this year will amount
to about $4,000 bales or 100000
pounds. The prices this year vary
quite largely owing to the unequal
quality of the product. Some of it
brings 223 and 294 cents, while
some of the lower grades sell for
only 8 or 10 cents a pound. The
average price, however, is placed by
competent experts at 18 cents a
pound, which will bring the value
OF the crop to $2,754,000, The av-
erage cost of cultivating and pre-
pairing a pound of hops for the
maE1.et is 7 cents. According to
these figures the cost of the crop to
all the producers was about 81,
leaving a profit to the
growers on their years work of
81, $4,000.
Under these circumstances it
would appear that even the most
exacting can find very little of
which to complain in his hop rails
ing experiences this year.-Port-
land Journal.

OREGON ANGORAS SOLD WELL
Craig Brothers YearIlng Doe Brought
Record Price at Kansas City
Show.

The following about the Angora
goat sale at the recent American
Royal Live Stock Show, Kansas
City, Mo-, is a part Of the report
appearing in the American Sheep
Breeder:
Following hard on the heels Of
the champion, came the second
prize yearling doe, that carried
sweepstake honors at the Oregon
State Fair, and in less than seven
minutes sold to ]. J. Gentry, of
Texas, for 5000, the record price
for an American bred Angora doe.
This handsome doe was raised by
Craig Bros, of Macleay, Oregon,
and like the champion was bred in
the purple, and the men that
honored herself and her accom-
plished young Oregon breeders
with the exciting and unusual bids
were every one Angora experts who
know the intrinsic value of the
little silver feeced Oregonian. Col.
Wells waxed warm and eloquent
as the bidding passed the $500
mark and rose to a triumphant
climax as the little Oregon beauty
was knocked down to Gentry at the
record price. The onlookers men
and women-cheered to the echo,
Col. Stewart lost his equilibrium
in happy exclamation and the
widest scene ever enacted at goat
sale had passed into history.
Young Craig and his beautiful
wife exchanged happy glances and
every one wondered what was COM
ing next. But the grand climax
had been reached and record sales
for the day were ended"

BY WAY OF RECREATION

About the year 1870 the late President
Snow conceived the idea of providing
a place of amusement for the young
people Of the city, and with the assist
ance Of the people what is now known
as the Brigham city Opera House, was
built. The upper hall was used exclu-
sively for social entertainment, while
the lower hail. up to about 1882, was
used az a store. At this time the house
passed into the hands Of a company
who made some additions, Put in good
stage In the lower hall, furnished II
with the latest opera chairs, and
put in modern heating plant making
II very respectable opera house. The
house is now owned by the four wards
OF Brigham City with the Bishops as a
board Of management, who are endca-
voring to give a class of amusements
that will be healthful IN every partlc-
