Volumes of surpassing interest by the master
minds of the century. The books are clearl

of book paper, and are handsomely bound' in
vellum cloth, with a particularly artistic cover
design, printed in two colors of inks on front
and back, with side titles and back letterings
in genuine gold.
We have several hundred of them at our
disposal from such well-known authors as

Bill Nye, Rudyard Kipling, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, "The Duchess," Marie Corelli, Jules
Verne, Harriet Beecher Stowe, A. Ccnan Doyle
and dozens of others. Three hundred Titles
to Select From.
We can afford to let two of these books go
on each subscription, as we purchased a huge
lot of Huntley Bros. Co. at a figure that would
stagger you. We have no room to display a
large amount of books to advantage, so we
have concluded to give to each subscriber who
selects the bojks in preference o the school
set an order on Huntley's Book Store for two
books. Armed with this order you can go
there and take your choice of two books from
a wealth of titles and authors.

ONE-FIFTH IS
DISPOSED OF
About 80,000 Bales of Hops
Still in the Hands of
Oregon Growers.
Not more than 30 per ceut of the
Oregon hop crop of 1906 has yet boon
Bold, according to dealers spoken to on
the subject and this 30 per cout iu
eludes the hops grown uudor contract
and already delivered.
Slightly over 100.000 balos were
raised in the state this year, from all
accounts, and theso estimates leave
about 80,000 bales in the hands of the
growers. Of last year's crop, some
8000 bales still remain unsold.
As to the luture prices of hops, no
dealer will commit himself at present.
E. J. Smith, ot Ouoida, N. ., who
is known as the most sanguine dealer
iu Oregon, would not venture an
opinion. '
'An imnionse crop has been raisod
in England," he said, "but the Eng
lish brewers will need Oregon hops in
their business ;and are therefore eom
nellod to buy some of us. Wo need
not fear the importation of foroigu
hops to the United States, as there is
a duty of 13 cents a pound to over
come. I would place the proesnt
market valmof Oregon hops at 13 and
U cents. They will not go any lower
as when yon get a product down
about the cost of production, it
more apt to advance than decline. '

Pot Hunters la the Park.

called sportsmen have been trespass

at Gladstone Park. A watch will be
kept on the grounds and anyone hunt
ing or shooting in the park will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law. The managers of the Chautau
qua have for a long time taken a laud
able prido in the largo number of al
most tame squirrels and birds of var
ious kinds that frequent the grounds,
and thoy do not propose to furnish do
mesticated game for the pleasure and
profit of pot hunters.

OLD TAX ROLL FOUND.
In 1858 Properly Owners Were Slow to
Pay Small Tax.
Jailer Peter Nehren has discovered
an old book that is oue'of the most in
teresting things unearthed at the
courthouse for a long time. This is
the tax roll of Clackamas county for
the year 1858, when Oregon was vet a
territory. The total valuation of the
property of the county was only $1,
947,180 and the tax $14,899.26, less
than $15,000 to defray the expenses of
the county for a year. A strange thing
iu connection with the book is the
fact that about one-tenth of the tax
payers enumerated paid, and the re
maining nine-tenths seem to have de
faulted. The roll embraces such his
toric names as George Abernethy, Al
lsn McKinlay & Co., William and
Samuel K. Barlow,' Thomas Charman,
Rohert Caufleld, Dement & Co., Dan
iel Harvey and Sidney Moss. The
territorial tax was one mill, school
tax the same, and the county tax rive
mills. The polls totaled $769. The
tax was collected by the county freas-urer.
ST. JOHN'S RANKS SECOND.
Praise for School Exhibit at Lewis and
Clark Fair.
Rev. A. Hillebrand has received the
following letter commending the ex
hibit of St. John's 'Parochial and
High School at the Exposition
"You are all aware that our school
children k-ere, the pupils of St. John's
school, prepared sohool work for the
Lewis and Clark Exposition and that
this work was exhibited in Portland
at the Fair for the past fonr months.
"The BenedictinelSisters teaoh seven
schools in Oregon and the work of all
these seven schools was exhibited to
gether intone section :;nnder' the title
of Benedictine Sisters.'
"St. John's School, Oregon City, is
one of these seven schools.
"Last month the official jury on
awards examined all the sohool work
minutely and the Sisters have now re
cceived the returns of this jury which
oonsisted of Professors from Califor
nia, Oregon, Utah, Washington and
Idaho.
"The collective work of the Bne
dictina Sisters is awarded a gold
medal. Among the work of the seven
sohools Mt. Angel Academy stands
first and tho work of St. Johu's School
comes second. The five other schools
follow.
"In examining the work of St.
John's School the jurors pronounced
it neat, systematic and well-graded
in short, well-done.
"The head juror, Professor Filcher,
of California, remarked: 'It was very
wise of those parents in Oregon City
to have their children's photograph
taken for their Exposition work, be
cause a boy or girl will try much
harder to produce good work when
they know their photo is goina to
stand by it.; 8 B
