There is no danger of iniuring the

In fact experiments have shown that
the treatment actually improves the
wheat As an average for large
number of experiments at the North
Dakota experiment station, Prof l.
H. Bolley found that by treating
sound wheat free from smut with the
formaldehyde solution gave increased
yields as compared with the untreat-
ed seed, by over two buhhels per
acre Every farmer who has smut in
his wheat ought to treat the seed.
There is no use in growing smutty

purchased from almost any druggist.

cent strength OF formaldehyde.
CORN SMUT
Smut in corn is not reproduced from
year to year by spores which adhere
to the corn kernels. as it Is with
wheat and other small grains The
corn plant is infected with smut
above the ground by means of spores
or sporidia. which are brought in con-
tact with the young growing parts of
the plant by the aid of the wind.

CHECKERS" A GOOD SHOW.
Fine Attraction Held the
Boards at Grand Opera House
Last Night.

Checkers" is a good show, but it
is not great play. The house that
greeted 1t last night in this city and
the enthusiasm the production
aroused were evidences that Salem
was pleased. Checkers" has evoked
fiattering comment clear across the
continent, and has met with the ap-
proval OF theatre-goers from Bangor,
Me-, to Seattle. except that it did not
come up. to the high standard re-
quired by the retail clerks and do
nestle help. who set the dramatic
pace in Portland, according to the
heatrical writer in one of the even
ing newspapers there.
There is no horse play, but good
deal of horse racing in this produc-
tion. 1t contains nothing coarse or
immoral; while at the same time 1t
is not a problem play, and teaches
no lesson. II will never be absorbed
in the same trust with the Women's
Christian Temperance Union or the
Salvation Army.
Taking II for granted that people
patronize the stage to be amused,
Checkers" fills the bill. 1t is Just

MUMMY
TALKS
AND EATS
Running Mate of the Maid
Weighs Three Hundred and !
Sixty five Pounds !

The first time the writer inter-
viewed a mummy was at the worlds
fair in Chicago, in 1898. The gen
tleman who submitted to that opera
ton was Ramases III, who resided in
Egypt some time ago, and did a
stunt at pyramid building. He had
grown daughter who fished young
Moses out of the Nile. This fellow
looked somewhat like a blending OF
dead monkey and an evaporated
prune and when interviewed, he
spake never a word.
The mummy of the Maid and the
Mummy company is in the city to-
day with the rest of the company,
and will be seen at the opera house
tonight. In private life, he is Fred
Warren, and, in the parlance of the
hour, he is a pippin. He weighs 366
pounds, one for every day in the
year, and eats and talks like other
people; only more and better than
some.
Fred Warren is not handsome
man. Lovesick matinee girls never
accuse him of bowling in the breeze
like wind-swayed vine. But on the
stage, in his own particular part, he
there with the goods.
Mr.. Warren says that in many rur-
al places they are sometimes forced
to play in, the name of the comedy
is often taken in dead earnest. In
one Texas town, a dime museum ag
gregation, with a petrified man, was
unloaded at the same time. The
waiting natives were told that the
mummy was in the box. and they ac-
commodatingly got in and helped to
carry the petrified man, which
weighed several tons, a mile up
town. Warren was all the time puff
ing along behind.
The mummy was easy to intef-
view. 1t is said to be more difficult
to get the maids to talk.

Oregon Produces Over Thir

Hop Crop

The bureau of labor and statis,..
has just completed an estimate ot -.
hop crop in Oregon, and has co,
puted some interesting comparsti,.
statistics of the hop industry for IN,
whole world. These figures pls,.
Oregon in a most favorable livb,
and show that this state grows mo,,
than 13 per cent. of the entire. Ao,
crop.
A recapitulation of the bure.,,.
table follows:
In 1901 Oregon produced II,
S01,250 pounds of hops; in lS0,
,17,250,000 pounds; in 1903. II.
650,250 pounds; in 1904, 17,65OMa
pounds; in 1905, 2O,525,1S5 pound,
while the estimate for 1906 ism.
365,500 pounds, or 123,SOO bales
The oldest yard in Oregon is At
Buena Vista. 1t was set out In 1854
There are 20,750 acres in hops IN
Oregon, and if the estimate of "a.
I365,500 pounds holds out the aver.
age production per acre will be 1921
pounds of cured hops.
To show the relation that the Ore.
gon crop bears to that of the world,
the figures of 1905 are given: New
York, 100000 pounds; California,
12,750,00O pounds; Washington, g.
100000 pounds; Oregon 20,252,1S5.
North of us the Dominion of Canada
produces 1,01O,25O pounds. This is
practically the entire product of
North America. The total yield of
the world in 1905 was 25s,554,SS3
pounds. OF this amount Oregon
1913 per cent of the product.
Five yards of baling cloth is the
maximum quantity to be used In
making the bale, and the STANDARD
weight of each yard of baling cloth
is fixed by law at "a ounces in Ore
gon.
The amount spent in the hop busi-
ness reaches a vast number Of peo-
pie, goes into many different chan
nels, and benefits perhaps directly
more people that need the money
than any other industry. The gov
ernment estimate of hops consumed
in Oregon in 1900, the latest data
at hand, was 9G,699 pounds.
The estimate amount paid to about
"a, 900 pickers this year was s1,O75,-
$50. Other expenses in taking care
of the crop of 1906 amounts to
about s19S,SO5.55, total of ST.
272,355.55 paid out for harvesting
the hops this year. The price paid
for picking hops was one cent per
pound for picking green hops
A box of hops in Oregon is nine
bushels, or so pounds. A bale OF
hops in Oregon is about II boxes.

As to Holding Two Offices.

Assistant Attorney General Youmans
had rather interesting inquiry several
dsys ago from q city official to know
whether certain city charter which re-
ferred to the "clerk and treasurer and
again to "his bond" meant one or two off,
GERS. Gen. Youmans thought this meant
one officer and that the positions were
not to be separated in this case. He also
held that member of City Council regu-
lsrly elected could not be the oity clerk
and treasurer and at the same time q
member of the council. The two posi-
tions were offices and could not be held
under the provisions of the Constitution.
The above paragraph is taken from the
News and Courier's Columbia correspon-
dence. This question came up from Wal
halla two years ago, when it was held by
some that the of;ca cs city clerk and
treasurer could not be held by a
member of the City Council, but no
opinion from the Attorney General
was asked for. Recently, however,
Mayor James Thompson submitted the
question to the Attorney General for an
opinion. There being no compensation
attached to the Office of Counciimen, ii
has never been deemed improper or illo-
gal for the finances of the municipality
to be handled by member or members
of the City Council. This decision, how
ever, takes this source of compensation
out of the reach of those elected as mem
bers of this body.
