While some Of the attractions at
the Grand opera house this season
have not been fully up TO the stand
ard. Manager Meredith has given his
patrons many excellent shows and
has others booked for the near fu-
ture. notable among these is Coun-
tess olsa Won Hatzfeldt, the clever

"The Little Duchess" This Is one
of the most elaborate musical pro-
ductions ever staged, and the new
star made as pronounced hit in II

The countess Is surrounded by a big
company OF commedians and pretty
girls. and she is most ably seconded
by the clever comedian. Robert Lett,

best in the language. 1t goes thusly:
Kelly of Oregon City
Said It would be a pity
For many to so
To local show
And hear me read this ditty.
Then Mr.. Kelly went on to show
how this happy thought would have
been rendered by other great poets
in their own particular meter and
style. He first took up Ella Higgln.
son, also from Oregon City, Mr..
Kelly's home town. Ella would have
1t this way:
Roy Kelly, from the falls
OF the beautiful Willamette,
Says a show always pals
Unless / am It.
Then he took up Mrs. Eva Emery
Dye, also a poetess from Mr.. Roy
Kelly's home town, Oregon City. and
said she. in her clear Sacajawea
style, would have written it this way:
From the school Of Oregon,
From the town of big Eugene,
Came tall and happy reader,
Came a gay and winsome reader,
Came a boy named Roy Kelly,
Came to school from Oregon City.
And a song he sat and wrote,
And, what is worse, then he read 1t.
Then e flashed like a meteor
across Mr.. Kelly's mind that Mr.. Ed
ward Markham was also born in Ore
gon City. and he said Mr.. Markham
would have written the beautiful po'
etlc thought this way:
Mr.. Kelly had a farm:
He planted II to spuds.
One day he said TO Roy,
Go kill the bugs.

PRICES
FOR HOPS
THE SAME

Mr.. Donovan, the hop man has
bought the following lots Of hops
during the past week for is cents
per pound; Henry Eo6 lot 100
bales; P, Freeland lot. 55 bales; II
Brahson lot. 80 bales, and another
lot 1S4 bales.
In speaking of the hop situation
Mr.. Donovan said: Il have bought,
during the past two weeks about
1000 bales and / consider that It is
only question of time till the brew
cries will be compelled to advance
the prices"
Large quantities of hops are be-
ing brought up by the dealers for
speculation and as the brewers have
been somewhat Indifferent they are
at present caught with but a small
amount on hands. This inactive con-
ditiou of the brewers has been taken
advantage of by big dealers who con-
troll enormous qupantities of hops
on the Pacific coast and. the logical
conclusion is that the prices will
advance"
Foreign Hops.
The English and German markets
are reported to be quiet. The situa-
tlon In the east is practically un-
changed and will probably remain
quiet until after the ist of the year
and then a brighter market is looked
for. The Producers Price Current

level for b movement during today's
trading and in spite of quite a sharp
rally late in the day was 3 to Is points
net lower Al the close. Sales for the
day were estimated at 250. 900 bales.
The opening was steady at a de-
cline OF 6 to 10 points which was a lit
tie better than due on the cables. The
weather was good over the holiday. re-
eeipts continued heavy and there were
bearish predictions as to the showing
OF the census figures expected tomor-
row The market eased of under the
of these items which pro-
NOTED local bear pressure and there
was liquidation on a scale down which
carried prices of to 957 for January

there was a good deal OF covering and
Ia the late trading prices rallied about
l0 points from the lowest active month
