BIG SALES REPORTED
Klaber, Wolf & Meter Operate
In Dallas Hop District-Henry
Klaber Optimistic.

Market Reports In Sundays Ore
gonian tell Of encouraging ctivity in
the hop business throughout Oregon,
especially in the Dallas section. Re-
garding the heavy sales of hops it
says:
''There was more business in the
Oregon hop market yesterday than
ever before in the history of the trade.
Not less than 1000 bales were bought
during the day by the Portland dealers
alone. AS result there was great
deal of excitement in the trade here
and in parts of the hop-growing coun-
try.
1.-THE feature Of the day was the
sweeping operations of Klaber, Wolf q
Meter in the Dallas section. Twenty
three lots of Dallas hops, totaing 2050
bales, passed under their control dur
ing the day. The prices paid ranged
from 7 to " cents. The same firm
also bought CTS bales In other sections
uuLluS tLO udy' 1hto 10 b1O bAS 6OoO
single days business ever accom-
plished by one hop firm in Oregon.
"Klaber, Wolf & Netter's total pur-
chases for the week were close to 5000
bales. They are credited with having
bought fully as many more earlier in
the season and besides had 5000 bales
contracted for. Some of the dealers
figure their holdings at close to 10000
bales.
CT consider the market for choice
hops very strong, and do not see why
they should not go to 10 cents, said
Henry Klaber yesterday. On the
other hand, the market is very weak
for anything but choice goods. I
would not advise the growers to hold
their hops or to act in any way on my
opinion. 1t is only my personal view,
but 1 am backing it with money. I
am buying these hops on specula-
tion.'"

Alcazar Company Scores Success.

The Alcazar Stock Company ap-
peared second time in Dallas last
night, presenting the comedy, His
Wife's Hobby" and the increased
audience that greeted its return to this
city, testified to the popularity it had
won on its first visit. The drama pro-
duced last night was Of the best quail
ity of comedy, possessing a sparkling
store of delicate refined humor and
lacking the boisterous qualities that
too often mar a production Of it's kind.
An artistic drama, it was handled in a
most artistic manner by the members
Of the company, so smoothly finished
and we'll balanced being their work,
that it would have been a difficult
matter to select any one from among
them as the actor on whom its marked
success had depended. The Alcazar
Company is rapidly making a most
favorable reputation throughout the
Willamette Valley wherever it ap-
pears, and the people may consider
themselves fortunate that this city is
included in its circuit.

Mrs. Mary A. Shute, who died at her
home in Oregon City, September 26,
1908, was for nine years resident of
Bridgeport precinct in Polk county,
leaving for Oregon City in 1903. Her
death was due indirectly to fall re-
ceived three years ago, which injured
her hip and confined her to her chair,
almost continuously until the time Of
her death. She is survived by her
husband and five children: Mrs.
George Brown, Of Oregon City; E. E..
Shute, OF Kent; Frank L. Shute, OF
Oregon City, and Mrs. d. H. Cart

Riflemen Make Good Showing.

About 25 Of the young men OF Com
pany II spent Sunday at the rifle
range in rife practice under the direc-
ton of Captain Cunningham, OF
McMinnviIle. Although it was their
first experience on the range, the men
did remarkably well, many Of them
being commended highly by their
instructor for their skill aud accuracy.
The best records we're made at the 500
yard distance and the best average for
all distances was made in rapid firing.
At the 500 yard distance fully half OF
the men made from 10 to % out OF a
possible 25 points, a score Of which an
experienced rifeman need not be
ashamed

The Monmouth bakery belonging to
Rudick & Smith caught fire Friday
night, and was burned to the ground
in spite Of every effort that could be
made to save it. The poor facilities
for fire fighting in Monmouth made
it practically impossible to do any
thing to check the flames. The loss,
which was about $4,000, was partially
covered by tho insurance. $27OO. The
fire was supposed to have originated
from an exposed electric wire.
Messrs. Rudick & Smith will probably
rebuild their establishment and con-
tinue in their business.

HOLD PLEASANT RECEPTION
Union EndeavOr Association Enter
tains Dallas College Students
at ArmOry Friday Night.

The reception to the students Of
Dallas College, given by the members
Of the Union Endeavor Association Of
Dallas, at the Armory, Friday night,
was most enjoyable affair. Fully
$50 guests were present representing
the student body and alumni Of Dal-
las College and the membership Of
the various Christian associations Of
the city.
An excellent program was given
consisting Of readings, musical selec-
tions and closing with four beautiful
tableaux. After the close Of the pro-
gram the guests chose partners for a
grand march, by matching quotations.
Slips Of paper on which familiar quo
tations had been written were cut in
halves, and distributed among the
ladies and gentlemen, who mutually
searched for the person whose slip
matched theirs.
After the grand march, light refresh
ments were served and the remainder
of the evening was spent in pleasant
social manner.
The Endeavor reception is always
looked forward to as one of the impor-
tant social events Of the college year,
since it brings into closer bonds of
acquaintance the members of the stu
dent body and of the various Chris
tian associations of Dallas, and estab-
fishes each year more and more inti-
macy between the young people of the
city and those from outside places
who are attending college.

Should Register Contracts.

The school law Of Oregon requires
that all teachers shall register their
contracts at the office OF the county
school superintendent before begin
ming their teaching work. Otherwise
all wages up to the time Of registering
the contract will be Withheld. Superin-
tendent Seymour has already been
obliged to revoke the wages Of a few
Of the teachers in Polk county from
that cause and he most earnestly ad-
vises that all other teachers see to il
that their contracts are registered be-
fore beginning to teach and thus
avoid loss Of wages earned.

Col. William C. Greene.

The ex- copper king of Cananea, whom newspapers, romancers and most every body are jumping on" and 'giv- ing a kick" because he is in the midst of financial reverses. This is human nature. Whatever faults Col. Greene may have and whatever mistakes he may have made, he belongs to a class of men of untirIng energy and grit for whom, in the compensation of nature, the world is better for their having been born. Bill Greene never hit a man when he was down; on the other hand. he has helped many one without ostentation or hope of reward. He has done big things and he has failed on others. It is reported that he is improving in health. If he re- covers, it is safe to say that he will be heard from again in the industrial world -Chihuahua Enterprise.

Attest:
Tombstone Silver Bonanza.
CLERK.

An idea of the ma gnitude of one days pumping operations at the Tomb stone Consolidated Mines company may be gained from the fact that yesterdays record of pump ping reached the total of 6.671, ,32l gallons. This enormous volume of water forms @ veritable river. The two water columns from the 1000 foot level of the big shaft send forth little over 5000 gallons minute, and the huge pumps are kept going day and night without intermission.
 Despite the heavy expense involved in this operation the general plans as heretofore outlined will be adhered to nor is the company in any wise dis couraged by the difficulties confronting g l them, nor do they falter one moment in their determination to reach the ultimate goal.
 If the volume of this days pumping | record were put in Standard Oil tanks such as are brought to Tombstone daily, each car having a capacity of 10000 gallons, it would require a train of five and one half miles long to transport the output for a single day.
 While the unparalleled problem of the unwatering of the lower levels Is being gradually solved, to the Tomb stone Consolidated Mining company is also accorded another unusual re- cord and distinction Of equal interest. It has the record of being the largest silver producing company in Arizona. while the gold output is increasing yearly. The returns to the assessor shows actual silver bullion output for last year of 454 412 ounces and gold values nearly 1000 ounces. A com : parison with the detailed statement of all other Arizona companies shows Tombstone to stand at the head in the silver output-and the work has been but fairly started -Tombsto ne Prospector.
