The method of catching whales In southern seas Is vividly described by our consul general at Buenot Aires. He says: "The harpoon used ia whal ing la a deadly weapon of marvelous Intricacy. It Is shot from a cannon, which can be focused with greet ra pidity at any angle from Its pedestal on the specially constructed ship. On penetrating the body of the whale the point of the harpoon explodes, and Its four books spread out into the flesh, securely holding the shaft nf the har poon, which ends In a ring carrying a strong cible. Held by this cable, the struggling whale tows the boat after It at a territlc speed until forced by Its wounds to succumb." DISPOSITION. The love of moral beauty and that retention ol the spirit of youth which it implied by the indulgence of a poetical taste are evidences of good disposition in any man and argue well for the largeness of hit mind in other respertt.

Al available space Is to be used for tern pornry stands, and at least 10,001 seats In addition to the normal cnimc Ity of 22,000 will be added. To pro tect the fans from speculators thf lioston management has decided nol to distribute reserved seats by mall thus making It necessary to call In person for the tickets. This systetr Is expected to minimize the operation of the scalpers. The results Wednesday follow: Pacific Coast League At Pnrtland I-os Angeles 3, Port land 1. At I.os Angeles Vernon 1, Oakland 0.

A nominal supply or of stock has been sent out to (ha southwest and a small shipment la going to California but (hat la tha ex tent of the trade. I'otntore are so low In California at thla time that the best price avail able In carload lota la 60c per cental net to growers for extra fancy. Thla It the lowseet price that baa ruled for similar quantity for a great many years. Effort to boost the market by talk ing of blliiht In Colorado la simply another of those echetnea of Califor nia manipulators who so surrrsefully forced Oregon growers to hold their sunnly last season until the south- lern state had unloaded; then forced growers to accept little or nothing for their offerings. Whllo It Is true that there la more or less Might In Colorado, this would have, little if any effect; upon the northwest market as the two growths do not enter Into enough competition to worry anyone. There Is likewise blight In Oregon. Idaho and Wash- I Ington but so great Is the crop proa Deft thut If the entire crop was offer ed for market there would not be a sullli leiit number of cars to transport lit. Ntowlthstnndlng this thore Is still ( a chance for I'uclllo const potatoes i to go rsst this season. While crops ' there tire aro quite fair, tha heavy i Importations from humps last sea son Indicated thnt the population Is Increasing fnster than supplies. II la not likely that stock will be Import ed this sensoo because of the bump 1 er production of the I'aclflo coat. HOPPICKERS HAKE Ilopplcklng Is about completed In Clni'kiunas County, and the pickers hiivo doiiH well, aouio having niado as high aa 14 a day during the picking M-nroii.

H was at llrst feared that clover seed had suffered from the long rains but there Is not us much damage as was expected. .Many of the, hullers are In operation In tho county. 'J'hero will be thuusuiida of bushels saved. There have been only a few Hart let pears In tho markets of Oregon City, nnd thotio that were told by the local merchant brought prices rang ing from 7B rents lo 11.10, Those ro tating at 76 rents were of a poorer grade, but readily sold. There wore not enough at this price to supply tho demand. Teaches are selling well with pricei ranging from 65 rents to 75 cents a box. The Klbertii Is the variety being used for canning pur poses and retailing at 55 cents a box. These are of good quality. There Is a good demand for good ranch butter, as also for good ranch eggs. Kgg are bringing a wholesale price of from L'8 cents to SO cents a dozen. Unnecessary Question. "Poor man." sold the sympathetic lady to the brakemiiil wllh his fore finger missing.

HUGHES Home Phona A72 The Portland Union Block Yards Company report as follows; Receipts for the week have boon: Cattle IH17; calves It; hogs I3&4; sheep 4rt4. The market for the best grades of cattle has remained firm, some extra, good steere selling as high aa f7.lt and choice heifers readily brlnglvit 60.

Heat well finished awlne. however, were In good demand at from t'J.20 to 19.30. receipts show a slight Increase over Inst week's but buyers ara still far from being well supplied. Mutton continues lo advance, best wethers now selling for H 3. ewes at I1NS and lambea from f r 60 to :fuY Light receipts In this division continue to prevail. E OF HOP ACTIVITY The only operations In tin' hop market st present continue In the vi cinity of Woodburn. and the lots tak en are not generally classed as choice- With tho English markets very firm, although showing but little busi ness and a fractional advance noted In tlermany. Indication! point to some development In the trade as soon aa samples are received from hero. Dealer are surprised at the excel lence of the quality sent forward In many of the early samples. Whllo there are many fields where tha mold was severe, still there are plenty nf others where only a trace of damage wa shown. In still other plnces no mould nt all was reported. Hop crop estimates for tho Willam ette valley are being revised upward. From every section reports Indicate that tha output was far greater than eiMH'ted.
