BIG CIRCUS OFFERS
PERSIAN PAGEANT
Arabian Nights Tales Vividly
Portrayed in Gorgeous.
New Display

All readers and lovers of the Arabian
Nights may see for themselves the
dreamed of Installation of their fav-
orite tales in the great Oriental dis
play, Persia, or the Pageant of the
rLousand and One Nights with which
the Barnum & Bailey circus will intro
duee each performance in Salem on
Saturday, September o.
This great production on which Bar
nun & Bailey have spent more than II.
million dollars, is said to be the largest
and most beautiful they have ever
brought forth. The entire pageant will
appear here without change from
the manner in which it won its first
triumphs in the Madison Square Gar
den, New York.
The $500 costumes used are historic
ally correct and their glittering rich
ness makes literal feast for the
eye. Sheherizade, the beautiful
Queen of Persio, and the chief charac-
ters of her wonderful tales are REIN
carnated in the pageant. Forty mas
sive elephants tnat any eastern poten-
tate would have been glad to own ap-
pear in the procession while the thir-
ty eamels attended by Arabian nomads
conjure up the vision of the burning
eastern deserts. The music to which
this mighty procession marches comes
from $50 instruments and its wild and
exotic character is fully in keeping
with the Oriental splendors of the
whole.
The thoroughbred horses which are
feature of this tremendous display,
are 500 in number and their trappings
are gorgeous and beautiful Nothing
has been left undone to make it com
plete summary of the lavish, spectacu-
lar life of the Orient in the days OF
old and perhaps Sheherizade herself
never really enjoyed splendor so daz-

Complaints of an inability to get cars
continue to come to the public service
commission. The latest was received this
morning, from the Newberg Comemrcial
club, stating that the sawmill and silc
planr in that town will be compelled
to close down unless ears can be OBJ
tained. This plant, the principal indus
try Of Newberg, employs more than a
hundred men, and it is represented that
its close-down would entail much loss

their eastern border from attack at a
moment when they lack men for the
Russian and italian fronts. Allied mill
tary experts are confident that Ger

on both the Russian and Anglo-French
fronts.
Some critics see as a result of Ruman-

their AustroGerman allies and their sur

pressure before the end of the present
year.

Declares War on ALI.

Paris, Aug. 2s.-Rumania today de
clared war on the central powers fol
lowing meeting of the Rumanian
crown council, according to dispatches
received here today.
The crown council went into session
Immediately after meeting of repre-.
sentatives of the leading Rumanian po.
litical parties, former Prime Ministers
and cabinet members and Rumanian fin.
anciers. The purpose of this meeting
was to acquaint King Ferdinand with
public sentiment in Rumania.
1t is reported in delayed press dis
patches that General Averescu, former
minister of war, will be named COM
mander of the Rumanian army.
The latest advices from Bucharest,
all censored, reported that the Ruman-
ian crown council would meet today,
and furthermore reported the continua-
tiOn of preparations for war.
Budapest adviees to the London
Morning Post today quoted a pro-Ger-
man paper in Bucharest as authority for
the statement that the Rumanian prime
minister had finally decided to abandon
neutrality and east Rumania s lot with
the allies. Italy's declaration of war
on Germany yesterday may have in.
fluenced the Rumanian declaration. 1t
was generally understood that Ruman-
ia planned to enter the war with Italy
in May, 1915, but the severe defeat of
the Russians at about that time made
it seem practically certain that decla-
ration of war would be followed by an
invasion of Rumania by Austro- German
armies.
Fifteen Nations in War.
Rumania IS formal entrance into the
war makes a total of Is nations now en-
gagged. 1t is possible Rumania s decision
may exert tremendous influence on
Greece, where the Venizelos pro-war
party held great demonstrations yes
terday.
Though the allied censorship on Bal
kan news has been very strict for sew
eral weeks, wireless advices from Ber-
lin indicated uneasiness in the German
capital over the progress of the diplo-
matte battle being waged at Bucharest.
II was plain that Germany feared Ru-
mania would decide to join the allies
after Russia had swept through the
Austrian crown land of Bukowina and
while the allies were preparing for a
great offensive in the Balkans.
The immediate effect of the Ruman-
ia declaration in all probability will be
to cause the early withdrawal of the
Bulgarian forces that invaded Greece to
protect the Bulgarian northern frontier
against a Rumanian invasion. The Ru-
manians presumably will form a june
tion with the Russians operating in Bu-
kowina and throw an army across the

LATE HOP NOTES

w. w. CaprOn of Smith & Capron
of Oneonta, N. Y, was at Aurora Tues
day the guest of Henry l.. Bents. Mr..
Capron has several contracts for 1916
hops in this section. Mr.. Bents took
Mr.. Capron on tour of inspection v;s-
iting a number of the contracted yards
spending nearly all day. Mr. Capron
returned to Portland in the evening
well pleased with the hop yards he
visited
Though Thursday was quite warm,
Mr.. Capron expressed himself as mere
ly comfortable, sin,e he was accustom-
ed to much hotter summer weather in
New York. Mr.. Capron predicts a
large crop for Oregon of very superior
hops this season and hopes the growers
will insist on clean picking and good
curing so that prime to choice prod
uct will result. He was not very san
guine concerning the price for this sea
son as the present outlook seems to
promise a large crop the world over
with consumption somewhat limited by
adverse conditions in America and "a
aroad Mr.. Capron was highly pleased
with general conditions in Oregon, TAX
ing the improvements since his visit
five years ago.
Lakebrook-Special trains with sew
eral hundred hop pickers will arrive
here the first week in September for
the Livesley yards. This company has
erected modern apartments costing $S,-
900, for his Lakebrook pickers. An
apartment will cost SO for the season.
This includes water, wood and electric
lights The other Livesley yards pro-
vide free tents, free wood, and good
camping grounds for the pickers. Last
year the picking at the LaKebrook yard
was done by a hop picking machine,
but this season all the picking will be
done by hand in all four of the Lives
ley yards.
The Oregon Electric crop report says
that the prevailing recent weather rip
ened all grain and materially aided
the hop crop in the Donald section. All
grain cutting finished and some thresh-
ing done; will be general by middle
of week. Reports indicate average
yield 25 to 80 bushels for wheat, 30
barley, and 40 to 80 oats. Hay cut af-
ter rain of good quality and yield, but
considerable lost account wet weather.
Hops doing fine. Very little vermin
damage. Some spraying being done
Potatoes and vegetables look fine.

this year by about 81 per cent to

Peaches and pears reported very heavy

Peaches and pears reported very heavy
crop.
G.. Pritchard, Portland hop dealer
and grower, who has just returned
from the east, was unable to interest
brewers in his hop crop, though for
severel years he has always sold di-
rect to the brewers. Conditions in
tine hop market are SO unstable that
brewers are exhibiting no interest
whatever in the coming crop, prefer
ing to await the exhaustion of pres
ent stock, before contracting for flu
tme supplies.
Picking began yesterday in the Ju-
lius Pincus yard of so acres near In
dependence. Pincus has $50 pickers at
work, paying so cents per hundred.
The Pincus yard is the largest fuggle
yard in the state. Picking of his late
hops will begin September 3rd-about
the same date that many Aurora pick
ers will begin.
The report of damage to hop yards
by the storm of Thursday in this VI
cinity as published in the Oregon City
papers was grossly exaggerated. NO
yards suffered any serious damage.
Heavy foliage has broken more wires
than rain and wind.
Some dealers estimate that full 80
per cent of the Oregon hop crop has
been contracted at II to II cents a
pound Little or no business in f'u-
lures is being done in Oregon now.

the complaint of DR.. Kaufman, the
Forest Grove physician who stated
short time ago that the night service
Of the Independent Telephone company
at Forest Grove was handled by boys
