SHIPMENTS FROM DALLAS DUR
ING OCTOBER TO LONDON
AGGREGATE FULLY
100000.
ONE CAR HOLDS RECORD
With 2O7 Bales Car Consigned TO
English Market Said to be Largest
Ever Shipped From Willamette
Valley; Few Hops in District Yet
UnSOld.

Twenty-four carloads of hops, with
an aggregate value of approximately
$120,000 were shipped from Dallas
during the month of October. The
shipments were all dispatched from
the Soehren Warehouse company and
practically all of them We're destined
for the English market Those
which took the Southern routing
which comprised the greater number
went to Galveston where they will be
shipped by steamer to London. Some
shipments were routed via the Ca
madam Pacific and these will be
transhipped by water to Montreal
Largest Single Car
One of the cars contained 207 bales
and is declared to have been the
largest single carload ever shipped
from the state of Oregon. They were
owned by Ralph Williams and were
billed to London. The ordinary car
load consists of from 1875 to 100
bales Inasmuch as the bales are
worth on the average about $40, this
car of the famous Willamette valley
product was worth in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 The major portion
of the shipments above recorded We're
sent out by e. c. kirkpatrick and
Ralph Williams who deal exclusively
in the London market.
Few Hops on Hand
1t is stated that there are about
1900 bales in the warehouse and that
this represents practically all of the
hops still unsold in the Dallas terri
tory, although there are two or three
lots consisting in the aggregate of
like 200 bales still in the
hands of the growers. While many
deals have been made during the
month just passed, the trading at no
time has been brisk, the quotations
ruling moderate and conse-
quently there has been no haste on
the part of the grower to dispose of
his product. The present quotations
are from IA to 10 cents, with but little

So far as Dallas is concerned, the

polled. The boards in the different
precincts organized on time, and
from the opening of the polls the vot-
ing has been steady. The great
length of the ballot, and the many
measures thereon, are providing a
large sized nut to crack and many
voters find considerable trouble in
deciding how they want to vote. 9th
ers go into the booths with the num-
bers for which they wish to vote
carefully marked down on card.
They have evidently studied the diff
ferent questions carefully, and by
spending hours pouring over the

different arguments, have arrived at
decision as to the merits of the

KANSAS GIRLS BID MEN TO

Kansas men go away from home for
wives? And especially why should
they seek helpmeets from a foreign
land?
That's what Peabody girls want to
know They object to the inference
that they wouldn't be the best wives.

a chance to register their objection In
a dignified and lady-like manner.

quest for husbands from a club OF
Young women in Stockholm, Sweden.

tions of the northland girls.
Bachelors in this vicinity were dis,
posed to follow up the invitation. This
caused the maidens of Peabody to
print the following IN the paper:
"As matter Of state pride, we urge
that Kansas men look to the girls at
home for wives, instead of seeking
women in a foreign country. about the
disposition, character, and tempera
ment of whom they have no knowl
edge
Then 12 of the girls signed this de
fense:
The undersigned desire to exercise
their leap year privilege by protesting
against the men of this country max
ing such efforts TO get wives from
Sweden.
I'VE desire to state that right here
in Peabody there are young ladies whC
in personal appearance, education, cul
ture, refinement, and in business, cA,k
ing, and housekeeping ability are "
peers of any women in the world"
