in the center of the largest bop
section in this part of Oregon, they
are predicting that the hop market
will open this year at 15 cants,
when actual buying begins. A

town is going to sit up and take
notice on hop conditions. One
grower at Independence has been
offered 13 cents, and others are con
tracting at 12. Reports from

J. M, Deeds, of Eugene, who has been
engaged at the task of painting scenery

difference in the appearance of the
stage will be very noticeable to
theatre-goers this fall. Mr. Deeds,
while a young artist, has had a vast
amount of experience in scene-painting
in all sections of the United States, and
his work will easily pass critical inspec
