KETEL- CONTRACTOR IN tmm Finishing Concrete Work Bricklajing, Plastering MY WORK IS THK REST RECOMMENDATION ST. HELENS, OREGON State News Hop growers in Oregon this year are enjoying the unusual combin-; ation of big crop and high prices. J the yield being one of the finest the state has ever had and the market is advancing at the rate of one to two cents per day. The demand ( at the present time is largely from Europe, English buyers, especially, being eager to stock up while the price is within reason. So far, American buyers are making little effort to'buy, although it is known that maay of them have contracted hops to the brewers at prices con siderably below the present mar ket. Oregon's crop is probably the best of any hop growing section in the world, and as it is conceded that the total world crop for this year will fall many millions of pounds below the average annual consumption. The only worry of the Oregon farmer is that he may be induced to sell too soon. It is freely predicted that the price will go above 30 cents within the next few weeks. The coming annual state fair at Salem, Sept. 29 to Oct. 4, promises to be by far the best ever held in the state. Hundreds of attractive cash prizes are offered for the best products in all lines and competi tion for the various premiums will certainly be extremely keen. Frank E. Lynn, president of the Oregon Jersey Cattle Club, has offered a silver tea set aa prize for the best Jersey heifer under one year of age, and the club which he represents offers a similar prize for the best bull calf. The animals must be bred and owned by members of the club. The young people are to have their innings along with their elrfers, the management of the textile depart ment alone offering 51 cash prizes for work exhibited by girls u-nler 14 years of ae. "The biggest noise the world hs ever heard" is expected to be made all along the l'acific coast from British Columbia to I'anama at the time the last rock burrier in the Fanan.a Canal is blown out and the waters of the Atlantic and l'acific oceans are united. Arrangements are being made to have the nem flashed instantly to every city on the l'acific coast when the final blast is exploded and it is the in tention to have every wheel in each town stopped for a few minutes, while bells, thistles and every other known noise-making device com pete in the production of noise. As soon as the loose rocks nnd debris can be removed from the cunal after the explosion, whii-h is expected to take place October 10, the canal will be open to the passage of ves sels, although the official opening will not be announced for several months.
