EFFORTS MADE TO
FORCE DOWN HOPS
Strong efforts are being made by
some dealers to force the price of
hops lower so they can -secure spot
goods and contracts for less money.
. Spot holders never were firmer in
their views than at the present time
and all efforts to secure the better
grade at any price, have completely
failed. It is to shake out there hold
ers that dealers are starting the agi
tation for lower prices.
So far as contracts are concern
ed the market is holding steady, al
though dull at 15c a pound. Several
dealers are freely offering at this
price for desirable lots, but are unable
to get growers to accept.
The market for spot hops is quiet.
So few "bales are remaining that deal
ers figure that they can ignore these
most of the time if they can thereby
force down the price of contracts.
The most recent sale of spot goods
was the 118 bale lot owned by Joe
Williams, of Carleton, who sold to
Tom Livesay at 16c a pound. The
quality is stated to grade from med
ium to prime.
Foreign markets are quiet but rath
er firm.

the belief of five Washington players
who were in the Eastern Carolina
league in 1900 and hatted against the
Indian.
They all state that Thorpe was only
a fair minor league pitcher, a poor hit
ter ami worse fielder and that liis only
asset was speed on the bases, which
availed little, as he seldom got on the
bags. The Washington players who

BY REV. EDWARDS
OREGON CITY, March 25. (Edi
tor of the Morning Enterprise.) It
will be with much regret that many
patrons of the library learn of the
resignation of Miss Frances L. Holmes
and of her departure from Oregon
City. Her administration of the li
brary nad been so acceptable and her
thoughtful attention to those who
sought to use it so marked, that it is
felt as a distinct loss to the town to
be deprived of her efficient services.
Especially has it been remarked that
Miss Holmes took an active interest
in the children's use of the library
and rendered them every assistance
possible. They were consequently,
frequently found there and were gain
ing the nabit of reading good litera
ture. It seemed especially fortunate
that just as the library was to be
moved into its new and most attract
ive quarters and begin a period of en
larged usefulness that it could be in
charge of one so well qualified. It
may prove difficult to find another
person at once with the special train
ing now considered necessary to take
up the work at such a difficult crisis.
The library should fill a -large place
in the community and its continued
development is of vital interest to
many. -

Saiary Limst iV!ay Gauss Trouble
In International Leape.
PLAYERS ARE DISSATISFIED
All Clubs In Circuit Were Forced to
Reduce Salaries of PilJ Tossers.
Men Refuse to Sign Evers' Con
tract Other Gossip.
By TOMMY CLARK.
The enforcement of the salary limit
in the International league is causing
a lot of trouble and may result in a
general revolt among the players. To
date only a very small percentage of
the players have accepted terms ten
dered them by their clubs, and the
chances are that a majority of them
will absolutely refuse to report under
existing conditions. The salary limit
of the league is $0,000 per month.
This limit was arbitrarily fixed on the
league by the National Association of
Minor .Leagues.
This limit naturally forced the clubs
to decrease the salaries of nearly all
their players, and of course in many
instances this was a hardship on the
players who have refused to sign their
contracts. The clubs, of course, are
powerless. If they violate the salary
rule they are subject to a heavy fine,
and if they live up to it they are sure
to start the season with many of their
best players out of the fold.
If Johnny Evers is laboring under
the belief that he has a three year
contract to manage the Chicago Cubs
he may find himself badly mistaken.
It is said on the best of authority that
while President Murphy tendered
Evers n " three year contract the ten
day clause was not eliminated and that
it is possible for Murphy to drop Evers
at any time after giving him ten days
notice.
It was only after Murphy had con
vinced Bresnahan that such was the
condition of Evers' contract that the
"duke" accepted the Cub terms, for, ac
cording to reports, Bresnahau would
not have gone to Chicago unless he
stood a chance of becoming Evers' suc
cessor. It is. of course, surprising that
Evers. who is considered a wise base
ball man, could be led to believe that
he had n three year contract when the
tffi day clause was not stricken out.
Figuring' that it may possibly run in
the family. Manager John McGraw of
the Giants is giving a trial to Joe

JOB EVERS, GIANTS' PBO;JISING RECBOTT.
the Crimpy Crab, also manager of the
Chicago Cubs, "Touching Second" and
other things too numerous to mention.
Like Brother John, young Joe is a
second baseman. His home is in Troy,'
and he worked out briefly with a minor
league team a year ago, but did not
seriously decide - that baseball had
called him until McGraw told him so.
If Joe sticks there may be some inter
esting doings when Giants and Cubs
meet and McGraw begins a flow of
language telling what he thinks of the
real Evers, his family history, ances
tors and their general standing in the
human family. But that's a matter for
future discussion.
Evers has been showing up well at
second sack during the practice games
at the training camp, but it is hardly
likely that he will replace Larry Doyle
at bag No. 2.
Danny Murphy, who for years was
"one of the mainstays of the Philadel
phia . Athletics, but was out of the
game last year because of ,an injured
nee. is said to have entirely recovered
and will play in his old position In
right field next season.
Conceding that Murphy was a great
help to. his team with the stick, he will
not find it an easy matter to supplant
his namesake, Eddie Murphy. The lat
ter gave every indication last fall of
being a high class ball player. He Is
a youngster and adds speed to the
team. Danny, however, will prove a
valuable man to have around as a
pinch hitter, for. there Is hardly a mors
dangerous mau with the stick than he.
What English Girls Read.
An enthusiastic young girl was try
ing to persuade an elderly aunt to bor
row "The Sorrows of Satan" from a
seaside lending library. "No, my
dear," said the aunt faintly. "It Is too
deep." On the other band, a working
girl, choosing a book from the club
library, told the librarian that she
loved Mrs. Henry Wood's novels.
"There is -always a country bouse."
she said, "with a courtyard, and In
the courtyard Is a well, and at the
bottom of the well there's bones." It
would be impossible to describe the
thrill of enjoyment and emotion with
which these words were said. Mrs.

For the Children
Little Miss Maynard
as Master Mercier.
1913. by American Press Association.
The serious looking young lady in
the picture gazing out into space with
solemn eyes seems intent on some
purpose of great Import, to herself at
least. And so. in fact, she is. Sheis
posing as Master Mercier, as por
trayed in a well known, picture. The
portrayalwas made at a charity tab
leau in New York city. Children of
New York's most fashionable people
took part in the tableau, and many
charming living representations of fa
mous paintings were displayed to ad
miring beholders. The little girl who
posed as Master Mercier Is Miss Audrey
Maynard. daughter of Walter Maynard.
Cupid Comes.
Cupid comes is an alphabetical
game played by any number of per
sons, each of whom tells how Cupid
comes. In answer to a question. NThe
answers must begin with the letters of
the alphabet in order, and must all end
in "ing " Thus, the first player says
to his neighbor. "Cupid comes." The
neighbor asks. "How does he come?"
and the (irst player replies, for In
stance. "Ambling." " The second player
then says to the third. "Cupid comes,"
and in answer to the same question re
plies. "Boiling"
So the game goes on till the alpha
bet is exhausted , Sometimes it is re
peated, with the answers ending in
"ly." Cupid is then said to come "af
fectionately," "bravely," "courteously."
"defiantly." etc.
Sometimes the letter A is used by all
in the first round. B in the second and
so on, This makes the game last
longer Any one giving a word already
used must retire from the game. Those
who hold out to the end are the vic
tors The Australian Cockatoo.
Australia and the islands of the Ma
lay archipelago are the home of the
cockatoo. At the time of year when
the young ones are 'nearly all on the
wing they, with tile parent birds, gath
er into flocks, according to custom.
Thu snow white birds circling over
head, with almost deafening screams,
present'a very beautiful sight at least.
So elegant and orderly are they in
their movements before alighting that
even the f;mers, whose grain they
may be after, cannot help- admiring
them. -
The cockatoo is very intelligent and
makes a most admirable pet. but, when
his temper is aroused or he is displeas
ed he suddenly changes from a digni
fied bird into a screaming fury.
Lucky Perch Bone.
The- head of a perch contains a flat
white bone, according to many, known
as the lucky bone. This bone is a
charm to bring good luck If carried on
the person. It is lucky to find one,
but it is doubly lucky if you find one
you have lost yourself. In Japan this
fish, which is there called "tai," is not
uiU.v jjrized as the most delicate of
Japanese fish, but also beld to be an
emblem of good fortune. It is a cere
monial gift at weddings on this ac
count und is served up as the princi

Fairy and Child.'
Oh. listen, little Dear-My-Soul.
To the fairy voices calling,
For the moon Is high in the misty sky, .
And the honey dew is falling;
To the midnight feast In the clover bloom
The bluebells are a-ringing.
And it's. "Come away to the land of fay"
That the katydid Is singing!
Oh, slurtiber. little Dear-My-Soul,
And hand in hand we'll wander
Hand in hand to the beautiful land
Of Balow. away off yonder.
Or we'll Bail along in a lily leaf
into the white moon's halo.
Over a stream of mist and dream
into the land of Balow
Or you shall have two beautiful wings.
Two gossamer wings and airy.
And all the while shall the old moon smll
And think you a little fairy.
And you Fhall dance In the velvet sky.
And the silvery stars shall twinkle
And dream sweet dreams as over their
beams -
Tour footfalls softly tinkle.
