HOP MARKET IS BLOCKED.
Farmers Not Disposed to Sell New
Crop at 15-Cent Basis.

There was no change in the hor
market situation at the close of last
week. The market was practically
blocked as there were orders for the
new crop at Is cents, but growers were
not disposed to sell, Spot hops were
not offered on the market. Crop con-
ditions in New York State are given
by the Waterville Hop Reporter as
follows:
"The weather continues very favor
able for the vine, which is making an
excellent growth. A majority of the
yards are being very carefully cult
waited and present a fine appearance.
Growers are anticipating large crop
and are evidently doing everything
possible to produce good yield. Some
slight traces of the blue mold are in
evidence and growers are warned to
keep close watch on it in order that
the sulphur may be applied early if
found necessary. As vet, however, it
has not been found in a sufficient
to warrant any feeling of
alarm. -

OREGON AT SAN FRANCISCO
Unique Display Promised by the Com
mission in Charge.

A prominent feature of the Pana-
ma-Pacitic exposition will be an ex-
tenSive Oregon out-of-doors life dis
play to cost approximately $4,000.
An area 60 $50 feet between the
Oregon building and the bay shore
has been secured by the Oregon Com
mission and contracts have been let
for the initial work. This feature
will be unique at the exposition, moth
ing of the sort being attempted by
any other state. One of the most
interesting features will be minia-
ture reproduction of 200 miles of the
Columbia river, showing fisheries,
night signals, rapids and waterfalls.
This realistic bit of scenery will ex-
tend approximately 60 feet. In ad-
dition, it is announced that a reser-
walton of 1000 square feet has been
made for Oregon in the palaces of
horticulture, agriculture and food
products.

WILL FIGHT FOR TICKET.
Outlook in Polk Bright for Republi
can Victory This Fall.

The correspondent of The Orego-
nian at Dallas evidently understands
political conditions in Polk county,
for in yesterdays paper he has the
following:
Republicans Of Polk county are
making preliminary arrangements for
a hot campaign during the last two
months preceding the election. The
precinct committeeman are being or
ganized into an invincible fighting
machine. For the first time in this
county in ten years, county candi-
dates are running as party men, and
not as individuals. Individualism
will play no part in the campaign here.
A leading republican said "individ-
nalism in campaign before the gen.
eral election is one of the isms that
has placed the republican party in this
state where it is today, a majority
party in the minority We don It want
any more of that, and it seems that
this year promises to be an exception
to the rule that has prevailed for the
last lew years, particularly III this
county"
Candidates for county Offices on the
republican ticket have agreed to stand
with the party and its principles. A
fight will be made to carry Polk
county for every republican candidate
from top to bottom. That R. A.
Booth and DR., Withycombe will secure
majorities here is not SER
iousl y doubted, for both are very
strong all over Polk county and they
seem to be gaining each day. Sen
ator Chamberlain S stand on the tar
if does not meet with approval here,
and his play upon the canal tolls
and the Alaskan railway
Ire considered merely as shrewd polit-
cal moves on his part.

WEDGE STILL LASCRAPER
TAKES PART IN RESCUE OF
YOUNG GIRL IN FRISCO.
One of Several Instances Related OF
How His Science Oftimes Comes
Into Play.

The following story is related of
Frederick r. Wedge, the fighting par
son Of the Barbary coast, who was
to have lectured at the chautauqua
yesterday afternoon, but who was
dropped from the program in Califor-
MIA because of his failure to make
good. 1t is only one of many similar
eases where he has restored girls to
their homes and friends. 1t was night
in beer hall in San Francisco. The
glaring lights, the sound of fiddles
and piano and drums, the babel of
voices-some high pitched with ex-
citement, some muIlled and thick with
the soddenness of intoxication-the
discordant peals Of laughter-it was
a scene that might have tempted the
pen Of Dante in search of an added
chapter to his 'tInferno.
In all that crowd the only face that
seemed to retain traces of former
refinement was that Of a girl who
stepped out onto the stage and stood
looking out over the rough throng
while the orchestra played the open
ing bars to song strangely different
from those usually heard there. Then
she sang. Somehow a soul s yearn-
ing was voiced in that song. A bit of
a hush fell on the roistering crowd,
and then a storm Of applause, mingled
with drunken yells, greeted the close

a grey-haired little woman accompan
led by stockily built young man en-
tered the place. No one noticed them
No one needed the smothered moan
that came from the lips of the grey.
haired little woman. No one heard
the words she spoke to her companion
and no one observed that his lips came
together in straight line as he led
her to seat in booth close to the
stage.
The girl was singing the last verse
of the song. From one Of the boxes
party of men were leaning over the
rail and throwing flowers at her. She
gave them no heed, but sang as if she
had forgotten her surroundings. Then
the song ended. The young man had
left the grey-haired woman and was
standing close to the box, watching
the party in the box and the singer
on the stage. A. yell of approval
went up as the song ended, but the
girl, scarcely pausing to bow, almost
ran from the stage.
In the box the men with the flow
ers shouted rough words of praise to
her, but she paid no attention. The
demonstration of approval continued,
and the young man watching the scene
saw the state manager literally push
the girl out from the wings onto the
stage again. As she came forward
one of the roisterers in the box, with
a shout climbed over the railing and
stepped onto the stage. The girl saw
him and turned away. but the fellow
rushed toward her with his arms out
stretched, while chorus of drunk en-
couragement came from the party he
had left. There was scream from
the girl, echoed by thin, quavering
cry from the grey-haired woman in
the booth as she came to the front
from where she could see.
Then something happened. Just
how no one knew. But over the foot
lights bounded the young man who
had been watching the scene, there
was a "sput" as a clenched fist met |
the rush of the rullian from the box,
and then pandemonium reigned. When
it was all over and the police were
the place, the young man
brushed the dirt of conflict from his
clothes and then tapped at the door
of certain dressing room.
"Come, Grace" he said when the
door was opened. IF you and your
mother are ready I'll see you home" "
And little, grey-haired woman threw
her arms about the neck of the
lighting parson and sobbed.

sheriff, the coroner and the surveyor
of each Of the counties of the state
from two to four years is the purpose
of an initiative bill circulated in Dal-
las last week and quite largely
signed. This bill was decided upon
by the state grange at its recent
convention at Monmouth, and copies
of it have been sent to every county
of the state for circulation. 1t is
argued that this would do away with
the necessity of holding an election
every two years and instead an cleo
ton every four years would be all
that is necessary. This would save
each county many thousands of dol
lars, it is further argued.

fields, leaving several creditors to
mourn their unceremonious departure.
Under the representation of closing
out their stock of musical merchan-
disc to engage exclusively in the pi-
ano business they stood off local cred
itors until the eleventh hour, and then
disappeared. They had bought an au-

well, recovered the machine. which
was in Portland garage with a $40

THERE is MONEY IN
DIVERSIFIED FARMING

A. b. Drake, one Of the prosperous
farmers of this community, who lives
about two miles west of town, was
here last Friday on business
Mr.. Drake states that since the first
of January he has sold from twelve
cows $516S5 worth of butter and milk,
and besides this he has sold chickens
and vegetables.
This proves that there are more
dependable ways of making the farm
pay than raising cotton. Mr.. Drake
also states that he always raises all
the meat he uses.
BY this method of farming the
farmer would be Independent of, mar
ket conditions. He would soon get his
farm clear of mortgage, and have
money In the bank, the community in
general would be in better condition,
than where cotton is the only depend
ence. 1t is not only this part of the
country but others as well that need
more farmers like this one, raise some
thing to eat that there is always a
market for. Jersey cows. hogs and
corn, chickens and vegetables will

FLOWER DAY THIS MONTH

October 10th is to be observed In the
public schools of the state as Flower
Day. A portion of the day is to be oc-
cupied in teaching pupils to love the
flowers better, to appreciate them
more. and to learn more of them. Chil-
dren are encouraged on this day TO
bring bouquets to school of both cul-
tiyated and wild flowers. Premiums
are to be awarded to those who can
name the greatest number of plants.
The day is we'll called as far as this
portion of the state is concerned. The
lawns of the city have plenty of flow
ers. and the prairies have great va
riety of blossoms. The golden rod, the
national flower, is now at the height
of its beauty. The railroad rights of
way leading from Ardmore, are cover
ed with a bright yellow flower that
would be almost as beautiful in the
garden as the chrysanthemum. The
child who wanders to the prairies in
search of flowers for the day will find
them. A day spent in the study of
the flowers Is not day lost, we alb
sorb part of all we come in contact
with, and it will be a useful day spent
by the children to absorb some of the
freedom and beauty and fragrance and
purity of the wild flowers growing

Town is Growing

E. A. Latimer who is here today
from Dallas, states that he has driven
over the city and is greatly pleased
with the appearances of Ardmore
Many good homes have recently been
built in the city, all the homes are
occupied, and he says he does not
know of a town anywhere that has
made so much substantial improve
ments within the last year as Ardmore
has made He says everywhere he
goes he hears of the splendid school
system of Ardmore and attributes
much of the growth of the city to the
schools.

and in this connection we do mo-
wish to criticize the gas company
| in Ardmore for their prices, because
we think they are very fair, con
sidering the distance which they have
to bring their gas, and the small
market therefor.
Another assertion contained in the
committees report is to the effect
that the Ardmore Ice, Light & Power
company dispense with the services
of at least two men, whose duty it
is now to keep the present arc lights
in condition." which is misleading G
from the fact that the city Of Ard
more is using less than twenty arc
lamps per month and the men,
whose duty it is to take care of
and keep these arc lamps in condi
ton, trim these arc lamps every
five days or six times monthly, it
requiring two men to do this trim
ming six times monthly not to ex-
ceed two hours each, six times
monthly or equivalent to twenty
four hours monthly for one man at
soc per hour, which would amount to
$1,000 and we believe the above
statement in quotations is mislead-
ing from the fact that the ordinary
reader would assume that the Ard
more Ice, Light & Power company
were employing two men by the
month to trim less than twenty arc
lamps. This report, above referred to,
which appears in another column
of this paper, could easily have been
made and submitted to the taxpay
ers of Ardmore prior to this date,
which date would not have been too
late for the voters to have had time
to investigate these statements.
With all due respect to the gentle
men who made this report, all of
whom are large taxpayers, we feel
that they have not investigated this
matter to any extent whereby they
know themselves whether or not
they are sanctioning a good contract
or a bad contract for the taxpayers
of Ardmore, and we believe that
every person who votes on these
public matters should have both
sides shown to him thoroughly.
We do not wish it understood that
we are soliciting or asking for any
votes either way on this subject,
except we do believe that all sides
in the matter should be put up
to the people to vote upon as in
their judgment seems fit.
