FEW GOOD HOPS IB AND Dill HERE NEXT WEEK The never falling favorites, Kolb & Dill, whose advent is a big event of the theatrical year, are coming to the Grand theater lor an engagement of one night only, Tuesday, November 28. This year they will offer Aaron Hoff man's latest iarce, entitled "Now and Then," which is a story of events before and after the pass age of the 18th amendment. The story of "Now and Then" concerns the trials and tribula tions of Nick Schloss, impersonat ed by Kolk. and Albert Wagner, played by Dill, a pair of Baloon keepers. Kolb as Nick Schloss feels the urge ot prohibition; de- terts his partner, and becomes an ardent advocate of dry America, Albert Wagner sticks by the Ba loon until Volstead extinguishes the light ot liberty.and then' turns to be a lawless though prosperous bootlegger. The first act finds the pair at parting of the ways In the last hours of the existence of their sa loon. The second act brings the audience to the palatial home of tae bootlegger. The third act finds the reformer and the unreformed standing before the bar of a gov ernment dispensary in Canada, where both come to the conclusion that they had to leave the land ot liberty to find liberty.

YET TO BE SOLD Although it is estimated that fully 10,000 bales of hops remain in the hands of growers in Oregon, there is very little doing in the hop business, according to the opinions of a number of promi nent hop buyers. Almost all contracts have been filled, and hops now unsold in the state as a general thing are of an inferior quality. Prices are now running from seven cents a pound for the poorer grades to 13 cents for the best. A few good contracts run into 1923 and 1924, but in general, contracts have expired. This year about 75 per cent ot the crop was contracted and sold from 15 to 45 cents. With e?n estimated cost of pro duction near 14 cents a pound, and the uncertainty of future markets, buyers in Salem say that not only is no new acreage of hops being planted, but many small growers are plowing up their stand. It is felt that as soon as England grows a crop sufficient to supply its own home markets, the growing of hops may be a rather unprofitable proposition in Oregon.

At the Dallas plant of the Willamette Valley Lumber company new decking has practically been laid over the entire yard. To complete this work required about 100,000 feet of new lumber. It was necessary to burn the lumber that has been laying on the ground as it could be utilized in no other way. Arrival of logs daily from the camp at Black Rock has added greatly to the reserve supply which insures a steady run dur ing the entire winter. Last win ter the company met with con siderable difficulty in getting logs down from the camp on ac count of the snow. Other improvements noted at the plant is the construction of a new blow pipe extending from the planing mill to the fuel bin, the pipe being 320 feet In length constructed of 22 inch pipe. This pipe' line replaces the old one which has been in use for a num ber of years. The company has just complet ed a one half million feet order for a mixed carload of lumber to be shipped by water to the Atlan tic coast. At the services in the Methodist churches ot the sttae on Sunday, review Sunday for the Willamette endowment campaign, It was re ported that a little more than $708,000, more than half - the amount that has been set tor the goal for the campaign, had been reported Into the office up to and including Saturday. This includes i tJuO.UuO pledged by the Rockefeller Foundation, and the pledges of $100,000 each from E. S. Collins and R. A. Booth. "It is usually considered that the campaign is well 'on 1U way to success when half the amount is raised by the middle of the campaign," said William A. Smith member ot the Methodist board of education, Chicago, who is per sonally supervising the program "From now on we will he engaged in the intensive. More than 150 friends of the university, the most of whom are volunteering their time, will be at work from now on soliciting for the fund." The pledges for money cover a period of five years without inter est. A statement to the effect that the pledge is automatically can celled if the whole $1,250,000 is not raided by the close ot the cam paign, December 20, is printed on the cards.
