HIGHER MARK EXPECTED Growers Are Holding for Better Fig ures and Few Large Deals Are Made Demand Greater Than Estimated Supply. . Another wave of excited buying has put the hop market in a turmoil. After the brief flurry of last month, when the price was raised to 27 cents. reaction set in and the market was carried down In a few days to .22 cents. Now It has reversed Itself sud-. denly and. with Jumps of one to two cents a day. most of the loss nas Deen made up. Last night the market stood itronc at the 26-cent mark. unless the dealers' guesses are wrong, a 80 cent market will be here In the near future. , The course of prices since the season opened made it evident that the bulge In the latter part of September was carried to an unwarrantable extreme. The'penalty was paid In the consequent slump, which also went farther than It should. Now the Oregon market is trying to get on a rightful parity with the other hop markets or tne woria. and it has to go a good many points before It srets there. New Tork hops are worth 44 cents, English hops are selling at 47 cents and Germans have soared until all track of them has been lost. Therefore, it can be easily ug ured out that the course of the mar ket here is a legitimate -ne. Dealer" Become Kervous. What causes all the excitement is the frantic efforts of the traders to get in before the price gets out of reach, les terday and far into the night the deal . era had their agents skirmishing around the country, and long-distance telephones were kept In almost con stant service. In spite of the strenu ous bidding, however, only a small Impression was made on the growers. "While several thousand bales were sold, the amount was only a fraction of that for which buyers bid. Twenty-six cents was offered almost everywhere for choice hops and 25 cents for primes, but growers are so certain that a SO or 35-cent market will prevail that most of the bids were turned down. The first sale at the 26-cent level was made by Ed Loose, a Salem grower, who turned over -80 bales to McNeff Bros., of this city. The same firm bought the Blair lot of 52 bales and the Simonson crop of 72 bales, both at Amity, the Haxleton crop of 54 bales at St. Paul, also four lots in the Yak ima country, those of Tyson, S74 bales; Spooner, 160 bales; McKlver, 100 bales, and Pearnle, 175 bales. All these were secured at 24 to 25 cents. The heaviest buying during the day was done by Klaber, Wolf & Netter, whose list showed more than 10Q0 bales purchased and as many more un der negotiation. These were bought at 25 to 26 cents. Agents of the firm ob tained 600 bales in the Dallas section at 25H to 26 cents. The others were bought In the Aurora, McMlnnvtlle and Woodburn sections. . Others Boy Heavily. Six hundred bales were taken by the Eeavey Hop Company at 25 to 25 cents. A. J. Ray & Sons, of this city, sold 200 bales of their own hops at 25 $4 cents to a local exporter. The heaviest buyer in the Salem crowd was T. A. Llvesley & Co.. but the total operations of this firm was not known In the trade here. , Over In Washington, where the growl ers are firm in their ideas. H. L. Hart, of Portland, obtained 600 bales at 25 and 25 cents. In the evening 26 cents was generally offered for choice hODs In Western Washington. A California telegram announced that Richardson had bought the J. T. Grace crop of 270 bales of Sonomas at 25 cents, and later 25 cents was being freely bid. When hops were advancing last month, only English buyers were In the market. Now, in addition to the export buying, there Is a strong de mand from brewers In the Eastern States, who for a long time would not believe there was a shortage of hops, It is this combination that Is putting the market up so fast. There also is reason to believe that there Is more or less operating for local speculative ac count. A leading hop firm of Nuremberg, Germany, has gathered statistics of the foreign crop, which make a strong showing from a market standpoint. Crop Estimates Made. This firm estimates the crops as follows: Cwt. Bavaria, Spalt, Hollldau and Franconlan district 180,000 Wurtemberg 35,000 Baden and Alsace 42,000 Alt mark and other smaller dis tricts. 16,000 son, John A.

JOURNALISM CLASSES SHOW GREAT GROWTH Ninety-Three Embryonic Newspaper Men Taking Course at University of Oregon City Points to Be Studied. fir,, '-i UNIVERSITY OF OREGON CLASS IN JOURNALISM. u NTVERSITT OF OREGON. Eugene, Oct. 1L (Special.) One year old and with a total registration of 93, the journalism department at the University of Oregon this Fall takes rank among the four largest schools of Journalism in the United States. The registration last year was 63. Forty-five freshmen constitute this year's addition to the roll of the de partment. Besides the freshmen, there are three advanced classes, numbering. respectively, 17. 12 and 19. Members of these classes wm vjsii Portland next week-end to Inspect the operation of the big newspaper plants, nri .1 the same time to attend the Joint meeting of the Press Club and the State Press Association, ao "uun i mKda to keeD the students In touch with the active newspaper men of the state at all times. WeeKiy lectures are given at Euttene by speakers not con nected with the university, city news papermen and country editors alternat ing nch Frldav. The course was opened for tfce current year by Horace E. Thomas, assistant city eauor oi xno Oregonian,- who spoke on oooa ite porting and Bad Reporting." The Oresron department or journal ism In Is charge of Erlo W. Allen, a graduate of the University of Wiscon sin and an experienced newspaperman, who came here last Fall from the Seat tle Post-Intelligencer. The faculty of the department was doubled this year by the creation of an assistant profes sorshlp, which has been filled by Colin V. Dyment, formerly a Portland news paperman. Since graduating with honors from the University of Toronto 13 years ago, Mr. Dyment has been continuously active in newspaper work in the vari ous cities of the Northwest. Of the four classes in the department two are concerned with straight "news writing," one with simple news "stories" and one with more difficult, complicated and controversial subjects. In both classes in newswrlting the aim Is absolute accuracy and fairness, com bined with vivacity, force and the qual ities of direct human interest. Another course Is concerned with newspaper technique and organization, typography, advertising,-the business and mechani cal departments and news editing and headline writing. The final senior oourse deals with newspaper theory, editorial policy and practice, the ethics of the press and the psychology of pub llo opinion, combined with practical work In editorial writing. t Twice or three times a year the stu dents of all four classes are turned loose In the plant of one of the Eugene dally papers to take entire charge and get out a big Sunday edition without help or suggestion from the regular staff. The freshmen become reporters, members of the advanced newswrlting class are the special writers, the seniors elect an editor and editorial writers, the whole so that all are able to work while the class In technique organizes smoothly,- without duplicating each ouers efforts. f AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL Jess eami ifm Free $.400 en ir ta.no WILL BE GIVEN AWAY FREE TO THE PEESON SENDING US THE LARGEST LIST OF COMPLETE WORDS FOUND IN WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY MADE FROM THE WORDS "Reed French Piano" "Mifit W'SVi ij OUR NEW STORE Our idea is to draw, attention of the public to our new . fSraSa rnMM4.U CtiivU Cimais ho Wna ll'no flf PlSTinS a. , , I'Vi-w that we carry. .

VETCH SEED BEING HELD Polk County Growers Are Waiting for Better Prices. i - MONMOUTH, Or., Oct. 11. Growers of vetch and clover In this district are, to a great extent, holding their seed in hopes of higher prices. A few sales have been made but these were forced on account of no floor space or any place to hold the seed. By holding the vetch for several months it is be lieved that from two and one-half to three cents a pound can be obtained. The crop this season in this, part of Polk County was heavy and there was no rain to damage the crop before it was threshed. Comprising between 1000 and 2000 acres of clover in Polk County, the crop -was valued at approximately $80, 000, it Is estimated. The largest In this region was that of William Riddell & Sons, who had about 250 acres. T. R. Cook's crop, near Lewlsvllle, was one of the heaviest yleldings. From 18 acres he obtained 180 bushels of clover seed. Much of this is being held for higher prices. Cement Condemned at St. Johns. ST. JOHNS. Or., Oct IL (Special.)
