RECORD PRICE FOR HOPS
Mission Bottom Raiser Sells 10000
Pounds at Twenty-Five Cents.

Twenty-Five cents for 1904 hops is
the record 50 far in the market this
year, says Salem dispatch in the
Evening Telegram. This information
is gained from an unquestioned
source. 1t indicates that the opening
price will be much better, and that
the hopgrowers of Oregon will realize
more from their crops this year than
has been their experience for twelve
years. I. B. Jones, of Mission Bottom,
has sold, not contracted, 10000 pounds
of his 1904 crop Of hops to Lillienthal
Bros. for 25 cents. Before the agree
ment is signed $1,000 will have been
paid upon the bargain. This is the
highestprice yetpaid in the Willamette
Valley. The next highest price paid
on 1904 contracts was % cents.
This is taken to indicate that the
price of 1904 hops is on the ascendency
and that there is no telling where the
price will stop before the market is
really opened. Despite the advice of
the hop dealers, it is quite probable
that the majority of growers are
figuring on commencing picking
about September 1, and perhaps
earlier, if conditions warrant. The
continued fair and warm weather,
which has been intensified to a con-
siderable degree Of late on account Of
the density Of the smoke in the Valley,
has had tendency to hurry the hops
to early maturity, with the result that
picking is liable to begin earlier than
was at first anticipated.

Dallas Is Growing.

A. A. Winter, college pastor and
financial agent of Dallas College,
is in the city and will preach this
morning at the United Evangelical
church. Mr.. Winter says there are
already sixty new houses in Dallas,
built this year, and he expects to see
the number increased to a hundred
for 1904. He says Dallas is growing
solidly, and there is every appearance
that it will so continue for a long
time Saturdays Statesman.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 25.-The
case of Warren b. Wilson of Hins-
dale, ILL.,. against Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw, which was called for
hearing today in the supreme court
of the District of Columbia, has at
tracted keen attention from the fact
that ii involves the cOnstitutionalty
of the Spooner act for the construc-
ton of the Panama canal. and. in
fact. the entire proceedings of the
United States in the purchase of the
canal and the work upon its construc-
ton.
The suit is for the purpose of pre-
venting Secretary Shaw from paying
out any money for the construction of
the canal or of issuing bonds for
money to continue the construction.
II is asserted in the petition that
the Spooner act is unconstitutional
and invalid, both in Panama and the
United States; that even If it were q
valid and legal enactment its terms
and conditions have not been COM
piled with and do not purport to au.
thorize the payments that are now
being made; that the payments beinl
made are unauthorized and unwar'
lGnted violating the provisions of the
constitution, which state that NJ
money shall be drawn from the treas
ury except upon appropriation mad

NoUvEAU ART FOR THE HAIR.
The Latest Fad of Wearing the Back
 Comb With Its Too Making a Line.

The back comb has firmly held it's place in feminine favor, and will doubtless hold 1t so long as a vast majority of. women dress their hair high. It holds the short hair up, keeps the knot in place and breaks the long line from the top of the head to the nape of the neck.
 A late fad among Parisians and one already being copied here consists in wearing a comb thrust into the hair sidewise, the top of the comb curving to fit the head and make a vertical line. The comb top is usually simple in design, so that the effect against the hair is that of a slender line of gold or silver, plain or jewel studded.
 In Its extreme form this line reaches the entire length of the back of the head. When such a comb is worn the hair is done in a loose French twist instead of being drawn tightly up to the top of the head.
 Tortoise shell, of course, forms q large percentage of the back and side combs. but gold, silver and steel are pressed into service and ivory has come to the front this winter chiefly for use in white hair.
 The noveau art craze has extended to the combs, and, it must be admitted, with results distinctly satisfactory.
 Lalique and the other great apostles of the nouveau art in metals and jewels have made combs which are works of art in the best sense of the word-exquisite designs in gold and silver set with precious stones or the semi-precious stones so dear to the nouveau art designer, who values his jewels for their color effect rather than for their intrinsic worth.
 Such combs are, of course, far be- yond the reach of a woman whose bank account is not a very liberal one; but fortunately the popularizing of nouveau art ideas has brought them even into the province of ordinary jewelry, and one may find nouveau art combs of charming design for prices quite within reason is
 Fresh water pearls, tournalines. cffrysoprase, opal and turquoise, mat rix, amethyst, and all the other long ignored stones that have suddenly scared into high favor enter into the making of these combs, together with exquisitely tinted enamels and shal- ed metals; and the Oregon fly, the butterfly, the peacock feather, the bull rush, all the suggestions beloved of the nouveau art designer. play their DartS.

THE JAPANESE HOUSE.

A Japanese house is the simplest thing in the world. It consists of a post at each corner and a roof. One may say 1t is all on one floor. And in the day. time it is all one room, if it is small house. The number of rooms in it de- bends upon the number of bedrooms the owner requires. They are divided by night by paper shutters fixed in grooves like the divisions of an old fashioned workbox. There are no doors or passages. Your bedroom acts as a passage, and when you want a door you slide back the nearest panel Two sets of shutters go round the outside These outside shutters cannot be slid in the same promiscious manner as the other. Each IS held in it's place by the next and the last one is secured by a bolt of wood There are plenty of Japanese houses which when secured for the night would hardly stand a drunken man leaning against them.

Giving us the benefit of every doubt, the bloody fact remains that we do more than our share Of murder per acre and per capita in South Carolina than is done in any other state or territory in the coun- try. Comparative figures in estimat- ing the degree of our blood guiltiness are of little account however, the main point is that murder is not punished in South Carolina as the law directs, and murder is becoming more com mon exery year.

A few weeks later a Bedouin chief who had heard of the proclamation came to Marakesh to see the sultan and defy him to his face. His fore fathers had always robbed caravans just as they pleased, he said, and he ill., tended to do the same, whatever the sultan might order.
 Some kings would have executed him, or, at least, have thrown him into !ail for that bold proclamation. Not so the sultan. He said:
 Go back to your tribe in safety and honor. In ten days time I will Hollow you with my army and teach you that my word is law in Morocco
 Alter a whirlwind campaign, Mulair reduced the tribe to subject'on and the chief is now one of the closest friends and one of the strongest supporters Of his reform policy.
 Mulia finds plenty of grievances and wrongs to redress, for no country is in greater need of reform than Nor. occo. Wealthy men buy posts from the government, or have bought them in the past, as governors, judges, tax collectors. They generally pay heavy price for them and get their mon ey back in a most primitive manner. Being authorized to collect the axes and throw the natives into prison, they are almost without exception, merci- less robbers.
 The sultan is doing his best to break up this system. but it is not easy to destroy in a year or two the corrul'- ton Of centuries.
 He is popular except with the f4na- tical element. They hate him because he is fond of society of Europeans and is always playing with such 'ferrgni toys" as magic lanterns, bicycles, auto mobiles and cameras. They resent his efforts to introduce into Morocco some of the features of western civilization.
 The sultan is fond cf hearing al ou: the great rulers of the civilized world. The careers of President Roosevelt ard foubet interest him intensely for he cannot understand how man can rule a country unless he is its king by di vine right.
 Why lo the people obey:" he once asketf a European visitor to his court. Why should they obey those men any est men in the country? Does eveT:.- body see that they are the ittest to rule:'
 NO" was the reply. They are good men lut not necessarily the best. They rule because they happen 10 have been chosen. But they do not rule as you rule. They simply administer the laws made for them. as your governors carry out your decrees.'
