JOHNNY WHALEN ALSO
DISCOVERS THE POLE

San Francisco, Sept. 13.-Pretend-
ing that he was DR.. Cook, and that
an unoccupied cottage on the summit
OF hill at Utah and Nineteenth
street was the north pole, 10-year-
old John Whalen made a bold dash
from civilization, namely a lamp
post, and after successfully negotiat-
ing the ice fields reached the boreal
center. There. overcome by the cold
and exhaustion the brave discoverer
started fire In the basement of the
pole, planted a small American flag,
which he had carried, and returned
to his base OF supplies, the lamp post,
once more.
The firemen arrived too late to
save the cottage, for the north pole
was wrapped In flames, and is re-
duced TO ashes.
The origin of the fire remained a
until Fire Captain Charles
Cullen today announced that yonng
Whalen was an explorer bold, and the
fire was built to warm his frozen
nose.

A Salem special: Judging from
the rate at which the oregon com
miasioners at the A. Y. p. exposition
are spending the states money appro-
priated for the exhibit at the Seattle
fair. there will be n deficit when the
exposition closes.
The 1907 law creating the commits
sion appropriated 100000 for the
purpose of carrying the act into ef-
feet The 1907 legislature appro-
priateh $4,000 more. Up to date
tho commission has exhausted the
appropriation OF 100000 and has
used S16,S51.27 OF the $4,000 APP
preparation.
The law under which the commits
sion operates is very broad In It's
scope practically giving the commits
sion a free hand TO spend money as
it pleases, and for that reason the
attorney general has given IL as his
pinion that the secretary OF states
office is limited In Its authority TO
supervise the vouchers OF the COM
mission.
Money Spent Lavishly.
An examination OF the claims on
file in the secretary's office indicates,
however, that the states money has
been spent with a lavish hand. Hun
dreds OF dollars have been spent for
rugs, curtains, carpets. mirrors and
expensive furnishing materials. That
nothing N too small and nothing too
large 10 charge TO the state Is shown

BUYS MANY HOPS
Through James Hayes of Eugene at
Nineteen Cents.

Eugene, Sept. 13-(Special. -
James Hayes, hop buyer for the
Clemens Horst Company, reports the
purchase Of the following lots of hops
for HIS company: The Ed Ayers lot
of 22 bales; w. ID. Perkins, eight
bales; Lee Bros, 35 bales; Linn
Boggs, eight bales; John Gosser, 30
bales. All those bought were near
Harrisburg and Junction. He also
purchased the H V. Hammitt lot of
Al bales and L. l.. stevens lot of
20 bales, near Eugene. The price
paid for all was 10 cents.
Mr.. Hayes reports the crop this
year not more than half the usual
production of the yards and says the
hops are quite light. He ascribes the
short crop to the neavy frosts last
winter and late spring, cold nights
during the summer and indifference
in cultivation on the part of the
growers as the reasons.
