There is a very bright future for the Oregon hop growers if one may judge by the prices named in the contracts now being made for the coming crop. In several instances 12J and 13 j cents hae been the' figures and, no doubt, they will be excea led before many weeks.

It is c'.aimed that there is now 557 biles only in the Oregon grower's hands. Pacific Homestead The baccalaureate exercises at- ! tractcd a large audience. Either the novelty of these exercises has, worn off and the public taste has been satiated, or Sunday's program was not up to the standard set in past years. Their chief merit was their brevity. Rev. John II. Cole man, D. D., president of Willamette university, delivered the sermon. His theme was "The United Statfs in the World's Conflict," although his remarks were confined chiefly to a discussion of "Yankee Charac ter." There was a gem of advice hero and there, but the address lacked continuity and partook more of the nature of a Fourth of July oration, than a baccalaureate sermon. The marriage of Marion R.

The double parlors were handsomely decorated with now ers and evergreens of all discrip tion. The blinds were all drawn and the house illuminated with red-shaded lights. Everythin that a fertile mind could suggest to make the scene attractive was accomplished. The bride was dressed in white organdie and carried a shower boquet of white carnations. The young couple were united . in the presence o about thirty-five invited guests and were the recipients of numer ous and costly presents. Short ly after the nuptial knot was tied the vouna: people departed for the Sound to spend their honey moon. Marion R. Johnson is a broth er or is. VV. jonnson ana was raised in this city, where many friends wish him good luck in all his undertakings. He is at pres ent in the employ of the United Typewriter and Supply Co., of Portland. Everybody who has the acquaintance of the bride speaks in highest praise cf her charming personality and estima ble character. Mimic Warfare. The final military exercises of the present college year attracted a large crowd to the campus Fri day afternoon. The bugle sound ed at 5 p. m., and the cadets as sembled at the armory imme diately. Here they formed in companies and headed by the band, marched to the parade grounds. The members of the battery arrived at double quick and took charge of the two field pieces. By the time these were unlimbered and ready for action, the infantry -had deployed in a skitmish line a quarter of a mile in length. The cannon were placed in an advantageous position and began shelhnsr an imaginary foe. The infantry advanced bv short rush es, lying down to firs. After half an hour of advanc ing and retreating, during which time the caunon, splendidly serv ed, boomed at short intervals and the rattle of musketry was al most .incessant, Major Edwards ordered a charge. At its com pletion, the troops were reformed and inarched back to the armory. Major Edwards has accom plished much ia the military department of the college.

VI Yo ung Men's Clothes Young men are apt to be very particu lar about their clothes; even a little fussy: cranky. , It's all right; a good appearance means a lot to a young fellow sometimes : may even be his chief asset ; it pays to look ,well. We make a specialty of young men's clotlies; styles that have snap and "so" ia them ; the ultra-fashions Bought for by thousands of young men who cannot or will not pay the exclusive tailor's prices, and are smart enongh to "see that Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes are next best. Go to almost any college town, where young men gather; where they are their own severest clothes-critics; you'll find Hart Schaffner & Marx "Varsity" and other young men's styles the ruling favorites. A better test of clothes-popularity is impossible. Good clothiers everywhere sell thee goods; they're as good clothes as they look. The label H S & M is a sign of genuineness.
