HOP MEN HOLD AN
IMPORTANT MEETING

The short buyers in tho local hop
market were scheduled to receive a
body blow this afternoon when a band
Of local buyers and growers assem-
bled in meeing in the auditorium Of
the Salem Commercial club for the
purpose Of investigating the great aif.
ference in hop prices between those
paid in Oregon and the prevailing pric.
es In New York, London and other for.
eign countries.
II is more than probable that the
Oregon growers will consent to pool
tho crops of 1913 and thus bring tho
short buyer TO torms by crowding him
out Of tho running, as ho is now be.
Ileved to be the cause Of the present
low prices offered for tho produce Of
this state. It is contended by tho
growers, or az least good number
Of them, that hops should sell readily
at "a and 80 in this state now, They
claim that the only hops being doliv.

cents have boon grown by some farm,

meeting today to ascertain, if possible,
why Oregon hops are selling in Lon
don at so cents, while they can be de-
livered there at IL cents and being
bought up in large numbers in New
York at 40 cents when they can be laid
down in the big American city at ~
cents. 1t is the general belief that the
short buyer, or in other words the buy.
er who canvasses the outer edges Of
the hop growing district and catches
the small grower asleep in the midst Of
debt, is responsible fer the unusual diff
refence in western and eastern prices
With all of the 1913 crop raised in
Oregon pooled, those agitating the
present movement against the pre-
vailing conditions in the east hope to
break up the system and force the big
buyers to "lOosen up" considerably in
the future and give the Oregon grower
the advantage Of the big differential
price between the west and the east.
The hopmen and others interested,
met at the Commercial club at 1880 but
the regular business of the meeting
was not arrived at until late 1t
was said today that in the event there
are sufficient number of Salem
growers willing to enter the pool, that
Independence, Dallas, Albany and
about every other hop growing dis
trict in the state will join the circle
and that every hop in the valley will
be placed in the pool within short
time.

NEW PAVING SCANDAL
IN SIGHT IN SALEM
Market Street Property Owners Insist
There Is Something Wrong with
Job Just Completed.
OBJECT TO ASSESSMENT
AND ORDINANCE HALTED
stolz Explains 1t Is Plan Of Council to
Hold Back 25 Per Cent Of Con-
tract Until Next Fall.

What promises ii be another paving
scandal Of unsavory proportions is trail
ing its ugly length through Salem. It
is the same old story Of material said
to be improperly mixed or improperly
laid at the wrong time. Market street
is involved, and the job was done by
the Arenz Construction company.
Property owners from Market street
were on hand last evening to protest
against an assessment ordinance being
passed by the city council, and consid-
eration Of the ordinance was laid over
for one week, on motion Of Minton.
Councilman stolz said that he would
explain for the benefit Of the aegrieved
property owners that II was tho plan
Of the council to pay the company but
75 per cent Of the construction price at
this time, and hold the balance until
after the warm season next year, to see
how the paving win stand up. The 25
per cent held back would amount to
$500, and would fully protect the city,
he believed, II would be sufficient to
put new surface on the street in case
Z The one recently laid proves worthless.
He thought the assessment ordinance
should be passed, anyway.

METUCHEN, N. j.. Feb. 13.-It was

BLAMES LAWS FOR
ALASKAN LETHARGY
J. R. Mcdonald Declares Policy
Of Government. Must Change
to Permit Development.

Development Of Alaska is practically
at a halt, due to the fact that the In
terror Department views with suspicion
every man who wants to invest money
in the country. according to ]. r. Nc
Donald, Of Alaska, who Is at the Dris-
coll Hotel Mr.. Mcdonald declares the
policy OF the Government must change
before progress can be made in the
Alaska coal fields.
"Only 106 acres Of the $500 known as
coal lands, and on which Government
fees have been paid. have been passed
to patent" said Mr.. Mcdonald. THE
Interior Department seems to halt too
long while suspecting everybody inter-
ested in Alaska.
The country contains vast stores OF
coal. and yet 1t II a criminal offense for
man who has paid his Government fee
to mine q single ton and sell 1t. The
city Of Fairbanks, located in the Ia
rama valley, Is within rife shot Of one
of the greatest coal fields in the world,
but the people Of that city, which is
perhaps the most important city in the
whole Territory, are compelled to burn
spruce wood for fuel or to import coal
from British Columbia, which costs
from SIS to so G ton.
'The people in the East have no COM
PR hension OF the conditions under
which Alaska people are compelled to
live, and until they do. and Congress
acts. Alaska never will be developed.

Congressman Thomas Hef1in Of Ala

the prominent suffragists here ''The
Adonis Of the House." must look to his

last night by speakers at a meeting OF
suffragettes in the District National
Bank building. He is to be invited to

In other words, Congressman Hefiin,
having made statements in disparage-
ment of the fair ladies" who are seek

Falls Church, Va, woman suffragists
here have promptly taken umbrage at
what they contend are insults to the

been set for this joint debate. but the
girl will probably be Miss Inez Milhols

FlVE-MlNUTE SCALP MASSAGE
Bring Best Results and Hair
Will Not Become Oily.

If your scalp is dry and shows dan
druff, get a bottle of ordinary red
vaseline. Put a very little of the vase
line on the tip of each finger CT your
hand; then rub the tips Of the fingers
of the other hand against those that
have vaseline on them. There should
be apparent then only slight oiliness
of all the finger tips. Next place the
finger tips upon the scalp at the edge
OF the hair. one hand at either side
of the head. 1t does not matter much
whether you start at the nape OF the
neck, or on the forehead. but wher-
ever you do start. let the hands be an
even distance. apart. For instance.
place one in back of each ear. Once
started rub the finger tips above each
temple. slowly and gently forward. un-
til they meet at the crown of the head

IMPROVING SKIN OF THROAT
Proper Applications, Will Ac-
compIish Wonders.

If the skin of the throat is loose and
baggy, dip the tips of your fingers in
alcohol. massage from the throat up
ward toward the chin. and then from
the throat downward toward the
chest. Do this two and a half min
utes, and the remaining two and a
half massage with pure skin food
along the same lines. You will find
that alcohol is absorbed rapidly. and
that if the skin food is applied quick
ly after. it, toe, Will sink quickly in.
When finished give the throat few
dashes of cold water and pat dry.
Now. if you wish the best results.
do not put off starting this massage
until you are badly in need of the
treatment. for then five minutes will
hardly suffice Start right in now and
make a five-minute massage part OF
your daily toilet. Keep it up and In
time you cannot help but notice de
cided change in your skin. Five min
utes may not seem worth while. but II
will surely help to retain the beauty
you do possess. besides keeping IN
allegiance the many troublesome blem
/ ishes which affect the skin.

Wash SILK Petticoats.

Wash silk petticoats are a useful
addition to any wardrobe, be it limited
or not. They are made 81 somewhat
heavy silk. Silk and cotton so-called
tub silk, is almost as durable as heavy
all-silk material and is more durable
for petticoats, at least. than cheap
all silk. The petticoats are made in
striped pattern with scant bias
fiounces at the bottom. They can be
worn with any light street costumes
One of violet and white in narrow
stripes could be worn with tan. green
or violet outside skirts; one of tan
and white would find many uses, and
more decided colors would be useful tc
wear with a few frocks.
