ministrator Hoover has announced the
establishment of a basic wheat price
of $2.05, Ne. 1 Northern or equivalent,

(5 cents per sack) for sacked wheat.
Wheat below grade will be pur

SOARING HOP PRICES
CAUSE LITIGATION
T(
The Frank Johnson company, of
Portland, hop contractors, have filed
suit in equity against Fred H. Ander
son and Elmer Anderson, Eagle Creek
ranchers, to enforce specific perform
ance of contract on their 1917 hop
crop.
According to the complaint, some
10,000 pounds of hops were sold by the
defendants to the Johnson company, at
11 cents. Later before delivery the
brokers sold the crop at 12 cents and
shortly afterwards, it is alleged, hops
lunkped to 30 cents per pound. Plain
tiff alleges that defendants refused to
carry out their contract, althougn ten
der was made and plaintiff's obliga
tions were fully carTled out under the
terms of the agreement. Plaintiff also
asks for a restraining order, enjoining
defendants from selling or In any way
disposing of the crop.

They talked of a dozen ways of

"The Goosey Is Jnet full of fish! We

Mothers promised to put up a good
lonch and they did too! The trolley
ride was the longest to be had for the
money, but Johnnl did not have to
spend any of his quarter right off, be
cause a friend of theirs who drove a
big furniture van was delivering a
piano out In that direction and of
fered to let the boys rids on the big
truck automobile which was a lot
nicer than going the regulation way
on the trolley car. as every boy knows.
"WeHl have enough money left to
bny some candy,' said Johnnie, as
tha three sat down In the van next to
the piano.
The Qoosey was a long way from
town. It was a stream to delight the
heart of anybody who had a heart.
The woods around It were deep and
cosy and the water was quick and
bright Ona end of the Goosey was
dammed up. for a swimming hole,
and there was generally skating there
In the winter. And there were lots of
fish, although the biggest and most
wonderful ones were always the ones
that got away that Is, judging from
what the boys said.
The furniture van rattled along at
a great rate and soon the boys reached
the spot They thanked the driver
and off they sped to their favorite spot
near the water.
"Let's have a little snack!" they all
agreed, although by Jerry's big, nickel
watch. It was only ten o'clock still

right I Fishing does make a person
hungry! The fish was rather black
from the smoke and may have tasted
bitter to some people, but Jerry, Tom
and Johnnie enjoyed every bite.
After lunch they fished and fished
and flshsd and got quite a string of
fishes. Than the shadows looked
longer, and Jerry looked at his big,
nickel watch. It had stopped, but
Tom looked at the sun and said it

boys gathered up their things and

Off started the three boys In very
good spirits. It grew darker and
darker, and the boys grew quiet, ex
cept Tom, who whistled "America, I
Love You," in hie best style to kp up
their courage. '
Suddonly they saw two men com

evidently tramps and one of them
swayed a little In his walk as though
he had been drinking. It was not a

aren In a garden, blowing soap
bubbles, and ho had never seen
such big ones before. They
were as large and round as a balloon,
and they had all the lovely colors of
the rainbow in them.
The children's exclamations of de
light were loud and many as the bub

stayed there, ever so long before they
burst.
Carl was the kind of boy that
thought he could do anything as well
as anybody else without asking the
way to do it, so not wishing those
children to get the better of him he
shrugged his shoulders, said "Huh."
expressively, and ran home, stopping
on the way to buy a penny blow-pipe,
at the little shop around the corner.
Then he put a piece of toilet soap in
a basin of water and begin to blow.
Alas! The results were very ordinary

vould have termed them hnrt any one
else made them, and thev foil lo the
ground end broke Immediately. Carl
worked hard for better results hut the
bent of them were poor specimens
compared to the others made In the
garden yonder.
It was an effort to do It, but as
there was really nothing else to do.
Carl ran back to the garden and called
through the wicker gate: "I say.
would you fellows mind telling me
Just how you mixed your soapy wa

I'd be obliged to you If you'd let me

"Easy as coasting In winter," an

The men called roughlyt "Hie there!
Come baok here! and may have
ehaeed them Johnnie wasn't sure,
but Jerry said he thought they did.
In the woods it was quite dark and
soon the boys were completely turned
around. They floundered Into a marsh
and Tom, who was younger than the
other two, was heard to sniffle suspi
ciously, but he may not have bean
crying. Suddenly Johnnie remem
bered learning In sohool that ths moss
on the trees grows on the north sldo,
so they felt along the black trse
trunks and soon discovered which di
rection was north. They knew ths
road was to the west and the town to
the south, so they got tholr bearings.
"School la some good after all,"
said Jerry, for ho had been awfully
scared too.
Fortunately the moon rose as round
and full as a September moon can be.
Tom said confidentially that ones
when he was young he used to believe
that bears lived In the woods. The
other boys laughed loud and long at
that, but Jerry said that once ho had
seen a movie of a tiger that got away
from a circus and roamod through
tho woods and chased pcoplo, and one
girl climbed up a tree and tho tiger
climbed after her! This was rathor
scarey news. An owl hooted awful
loud and something rustled In the
bushes. Tom dropped his string of
Khlnors and grubbed Johnnie's arm,
"Let's walk In the road," siiKKCNted
Jerry. "If the tramps see us and run
after us we can easily run away from
them."
"A tramp Inn't anything!" exclulmcd

They locked arms nnd trumped in
