relish. This outing was followed by

Five-Day Street Fair Will Show Ami
mails and Snakes As Its Chief
Attraction to Visitors.

The Pollow g. McClalIand carniva
attractions will omen in Dallas OF
June 16 for a week, and if press no
tices from various localities through,
out the coast country are any criter
ion by which to judge their merits
the shows are above the average. The
leading attraction is an animal show
wherein are several varieties of mon.
keys, a young baboon of large size
raccoon, badger, an ant bear
several guinea pigs and rabbits, and
an odd appearing member of the cat
family. One cage has monkey, q
common cat, rabbit, two guinea
pigs and a puppy dwelling happily
together A pen of odd turtles, ter
rapins, water-dogs and gila monsters
is an additional feature. +.
The snake show always attracts at
tention. In this are a number OF
twisting, crawling reptiles, including
big diamond-back rattlesnakes, fom
or five water mocassins, four or five
sacred black snakes, a small gopher
snake and a gila monster. The fangs
have been extracted from the rattle
snakes mouths, rendering them harm
less. A woman handle both the
snakes and the gila monster fearless
ly.
Every carnival has the glassblow-
ers. and the PolloW & McClalland
shows are no exception. Two expert
worlzmen make tiny glass ships, vases,
pipes, whistles, and other delicate
trinkets, and each visitor is given a
souvenir
The transformation of stone
statue into living woman, turning
the woman into stone, then turning
the statue into a trellis of roses, is
said to very interesting, even if the il
lusion has been witnessed many times
before. The living statue posing and
the fire dance is also with this show.
With the carnival will come the u.s.
ual number of concessions, one be-
ing trick stairs. This concession is
presided over by two girls, one selling
balls to be thrown at small target,
and the other sitting at the top Of the
flight of trick stairs. When ball
strikes the target, the girl at the top
of the stairway is catapulted to the
bottom. There will be barkers for
the various attractions, balloon men,
free-act men, and bunch of others.

HOP PRICES SOARING
SIXTEEN CENTS OFFERED FOR
POLK PRODUCT SATURDAY.
Market is Firm With An Increasing
Demand for New Crop Contracts
in Oregon.

The hop crop of the world is now
entering on the critical stage and the
market is becoming more sensitive to
unfavorable developments. News of
this character is not plentiful yet,
but there is enough of it to keep the
market in a more than steady po-
sition. A number of orders are on
hand for last years growth, and it is
reported by The Oregonian that 16
cents was offered in the Independence
section Saturday, but no actual trans
fers have been made for several days.
The few growers who are still hold
ing hops are firmer in their views than
they have been for some time.
There is more interest in futures
than in the spot market. There are
orders for 1914 Oregons at Is cents
on contract, though an occasional
small deal is put through at 1412
cents. Washington dealers also have
15-cent orders for new-crop Wash
ingtons. Crop conditions in the
Northwest have undergone no change
in the past week. Prospects are un-
even in this state and it is generally
believed the yield will be less than
last years. In Western Washington,
the prospects are for a larger crop
than that of 1913.
Hops are doing poorly in California,
particularly in the oSnoma section,
whose product comes in closest COM
petition with Oregons. Wires were
received from Santa Rosa yesterday,
saying the California crop is now es
timated at $4,000 to $4,000 bales
against 10000 bales last season. The
early heat in February, followed by
cooler weather, is said to have caused
the sap to sour. Whatever may be
the reason, great number of the
vines in the Sonoma yards have died.
In New York state, conditions are
pronounced good. Growers have sell
dom had Spring so favorable for
their crop. The following cable was
received from Belgium: Belgian
crop is being slightly damaged.
Weather is unfavorable. Market is
firmer and "higher."

of Heart Failure Strolls Upon
Lawn.

Mr.. Frank Stiles, residing in the
country short distance from Dallas,
expired suddenly and Unexpectedly
late yesterday afternoon, heart fail
ure being assigned as the cause of

lief when he stepped into the yard.

ments for the funeral are not COM
pleted, but the last sad rites will prob
ably be performed tomorrow after
moon.

known throughout Polk county, and
information of his sudden taking
away will be received with profound
regret by a large number of friends
and acquaintance. At one time Mr..
Stiles conducted a harness shop in
Dallas. Besides a widow he leaves
several offsprings to mourn the de-
parture of devoted husband and low
ing father.
On Saturday last Mr.. Stiles accom-
panied a party of Odd Fellows to
