which was owned by William Marvin.
Although urged by his wife 10 trin g
suit to recover the sum of $5DS2 lost
Mr.. Trout refused to do SO. His wife
thereupon brought suit against the
proprietors Of the gambling nousc and
recovered in the lower courts a judg-

Masonic order. The structure is
located on Lewis and Clark boulevard,
and faces the Oriental Exhibit palace
and the Forestry building. The
Masonic building is finished with
green burlap walls, Flemish oak

pleasing shade of green. Lounging
rooms and apartments where sick
persons may be given attention are
located upon the second floor. The
lower floor is devoted to large reception

been frightened in appearance by
new coats Of paint; door yards have
been graded and seeded to lawn-grass
and clover; old, unsightly yard fences
have been torn down; new sidewalks
have been built and park strips
adorn the streets in front Of many
homes. The business streets are kept
free Of dust by sprinkling, and the
town presents a cool and inviting ap-

CROPS ARE THRIVING
All Indications Point to Big Yield
of Grain In Oregon.

Indications for a record breaking
grain yield in Oregon, and the whole
Northwest, this year continue to be
most favorable. The grain is heading
out splendidly and the heads are we'll
filled. It is just little too early to
make estimates Of the probable yield.
The crop might be affected 50 much
during the next two weeks that present
estimates would be far from right,
but If this critical time is passed
safely, grain experts will then be able
to get reliable line on the probable
yield. The acreage of wheat in the
Northwest is to 10 per cent greater
than that Of last year, and the increase
in percentage of the oats acreage is
even larger.
From the rate at which it is matur-
ing now it is expected that harvesting
will be about two weeks earlier this
year than last. This means that
harvesting will begin early in July in
the Inland Empire, and in the latter
part of July or early in August in the
Willamette Valley.

MAKES MANY SPEECHES
President Goode, of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, Is Greatly
OverwOrked Man.

The Salem Statesman's cores
pondent in Portland writes his paper
az follows: 1T is said by those who
know that President Goode is sitting
up nights looking for new words in
the dictionary. The poor man has
been compelled to deliver an address
OF welcome every day since the fair
opened, to somebody, something or
other, with the pleasant prospect of
delivering one or two per day, till next
October, and he is said to be on the
verge of collapse in an effort to say
something original. Not only has he
had to deliver his addresses, but he
had to listen to from one to twenty
speeches day in reply, all written
and delivered with the sole and COM
mendable purpose of pointing out to
Mr.. Goode and the community what
the Lewis and Clark Exposition
typifies.
Zone and ALL from President
Fairbanks down, have carefully and
painstakingly followed the footsteps of
the explorers across the continent
never failing to pay tribute to their
Indian woman guide, and to see in their
journey an opportunity for brilliant
flights Of oratory in which they paid
glowing tributes to the west, and
finished nightly pleased with them
selves and their originality. One and
all, they have said the same thing.
Westward the star Of empire takes its
course, has been their inspiration,
and, boiled down, that well-worn motto
about says all that they have said.
"They have told us Of the trials and
tribulatioDs of our pioneers, described
the country as they found 1t, compared
it to what we have today, praised
Captains Lewis and Clark, praised
the west and westerners and western
products, praised the exposition and
the exposition officials and the city of
Portland and. finished with superb
effort in predicting what glorious
things are yet to be ours. 1t was
rather nice at first, for we all like
praise, but after we had heard dozen
or so we wearied, and now leave it to
President Goode to listen to- And we're
wondering how long he will stand it.

LOganberry King.

A. M. LaFollette Of Mission Bottom,
near Gervais, is the loganberry king
of Oregon. Mr.. LaFollette has nine
acres planted to the berries, and they
are said to be a sight that is worth the
trip to see. Mr.. LaFollette says the
loganberry is the coming berry in
this market. 1t is direct cross be-
tween a red raspberry and a wild
blackberry, and tastes better than
either. Out of the nine acres owned
by Mr.. LaFollette, he will have a crop
of 1000 crates this season. Besides
this, about 1000 crates we're lost by
the late frosts.

HOP SALE CAUSES SENSATION
Pincus & Son, tile Tacoma Bulls, I'M
load Their 1904 Holdings Through
Portland Representative.

The announcement that Isaac
Pincus & Sons, the heavy hopdeaIers
of Tacoma, had sold their holdings OF
1904 hops caused a sensation in the
local market, Monday. The first news
OF this selling came from Tacoma
sources. 1t is said that Pincus was
selling his hops through his Portland
representative, and that practically
every bale had already been disposed
OF on the quiet. Later information
was confirmed by various Portland
dealers. Pincus has been the main
stay of the bull movement in the 1904
market His has been the loudest
voice raised in an effort to cause the
grower to hold, and the fact that he
has sold while every grower and most
of the dealers believed he was holding,
caused the market to sag suddenly
and the result is likely to prove disas-
trous to the present market.
1t is said that Isaac Pincus & Sons
held about $4,000 of hops, and by the
deal which has just been closed the
firm is estimated to have lost in the
vicinity of $4,000 These hops were
purchased on the open market when
prices were fighting their liveliest to
get up to 35c, and a large amount of
the goods was purchased around 31@
S2c per pound In this connection
Plncus & Sons were situated some
what different from the holding grow
er, for the amount of hops held by the
big bull firm cost them the very top
values, while the growers interest
cost but the cost Of growing and bal
ing, probably about &c per pound.
Every opportunity to bull the market
was eagerly snapped at by the Tacoma
firm in an effort to hold themselves
up, as we'll as help the grower who
still had supplies on hand.
The selling by Pincus leaves but
one big lot in the market-that owned
by Krebs Bros. According to late
reports from Salem, Conrad Krebs is
quoted as saying that he is still hold
ing and advises the Oregon grower to
hold likewise. The selling by Pincus,
however, took the biggest prop out of
the market for the 1904 crop.-Port-
land Journal

CHILDREN ENJOY PICNIC
Annual Outing of Public School
Teachers and Children at
RlCkreaII Largely Attended.

Fully one thousand school children
attended the annual school picnic at
Rickreall last Saturday. Hundreds
of older people were also present, max
ing the attendance the largest ever
seen on an occasion Of this kind in
Polk county. County graduating
exercises were new and novel feature,
and added greatly to the pleasure Of
the day. Over one hundred eighth
grade graduates received their diplo-
mas, the presentation being made by
State Superintendent J. H. Alderman.
Professor B. F. Mulkey, president
of the Ashland State Normal School,
delivered the address to the graduates.
Professor Mulkey is never more
happy in his remarks than upon an
occasion Of this kind, and his excel
lent talk to the young people was one
that they will long remember. The
graduates were presented by County
Superintendent @. L. Starr in a neat
five-minute speech. Music was fur
nished by the Buena Vista Band.
The morning exercises were held in
the Burch grove, long noted as one of
the coolest and most pleasant retreats
in the county. With the arrival of
the noon hour, lunch-baskets were
brought out and the merry 'pick-
nickers" spent delightful hour in
eating and resting in the shade of the
spreading naples on the rivers bank.
The afternoon was given over to ball
games and other athletic sports, and
the days festivities were closed by a
social dance IN the Rickreall Hall in
the evening Many young people
were present from all parts of the
county, and dancing was INDUCED in
until midnight.
No one ever heard of dull picnic
at Rickreall, and the one given Sat
urday was up to the usual standard
of excellence.

Ilopmen Demand Thlrtv Gents.

A meeting of Washington County
hopgrowers was held in Hillsboro,
Saturday, to consider an offer for the
1904 crop. 1t was voted not to accept
the quotation, and the prospective
buyers were notified that no offer Of
less than 80 cents would be given any
consideration. Practically all of the
hops unsold are in the hands of
growers who can afford to hold, and
there is no inclination to part with
holdings unless at the price above
named, and it is improbable that they
would even sell at 80 cents.
