at the corner of Park and Burnside
streets a corner lot 1O0x115 feet, at a
cost of $50, 900, and will erect $4,000

heavy for the automatic system, a
more staple and permanent building
will have to be had than for the ordi-
nary switchboard On an automatic
switchboard any operator can call any
telephone connected with the system
no difference how far it may be away
from the switchboard.
Work will begin about the Goth OF

built of vitrif1ed tile, with three-inch
holes, laid under ground in cement so
as to be absolutely water proof, with
man holes at each street crossing,
Through each tile a lead cable is
pulled with 300 copper wires, and
spliced at each street crossing to the

are their specialties. Then there are

cages Of wild beasts, birds, monkeys,

Gently and found nobody in charge.
Visitors stopping to examine the dis
play would linger around on the out
side for little while and then pass
on to some other county booth, where
more cordial reception awaited them.
Inquiry developed the fact that Mrs.
Wolfe was at her farm in Polk county,
and that her daughter was out in town
or somewhere on the Fair grounds.
The latter did not show up at her post
OF duty until a few minutes before the
noon hour. This is only one instance
out Of a hundred that might be cited
to show the utter Indifference and
carelessness of Mrs. Wolfe and her
daughter in the important work in
trusted to them. The Polk county
exhibit at the Fair is being sadly
neglected, and the county will reap
little benefit from it's display il present

NO HOPS SELLING
Conrad Krebs, Ever Hopeful, Pre-
diets ascent Market In the
Near Future.

Hopmen from all parts of the
Northwest, and several from the East,
were at the Belvedere Wednesday,
says the Oregonian. No activity in
the localmarket followed their arrival,
but they were busy most of the day
investigating conditions and sound
ing the market. Trading in this
state is at a standstill, as growers re-
fuse to consider the offers Of buyers.
An advance Of cent or two might
bring some hops on the market, but it
is said that few hops could be bought
at even 20 cents.
Among the visitors was Conrad
Krebs, Of Salem, who is the only large
speculator who has not yet sold out.
He is confident that higher prices will
rule in the near future.
'"The crop in our own Independence
yards is a great disappointment to
u.s." said Mr. Krebs. ''Ten days ago
we looked for 1000 pounds to the
acre, and now l am certain we will
not get over 500. All the best yards
in that district have been afflicted by
the sun-turn blight. The poor hop
yards were ruined long ago.
"Our 19O4s are not on the market,
and will not be soon. I am sure we
will not sell before October or Novem-
Der. America is not going to raise
enough hops this year for her own re-
quirements, and nothing can prevent
prices from going up. 1 believe the
market will open around 25 cents.
