at Zena, last week, W. O. Cooper set
up a tent in the yard and made things
comfortable for a summer's habita

after lie has harvested his crop of
grain, and then move to his own
house, on his farm two miles north.
He lives on the rural telephone line
which was erected last winter, and ap
preciates its advantages, especially
since it was the means of calling help
to save his entire stock of household
goods, when the house- burned. He
has already had a new instrument
put in his front yard. It is attached
to a cherry tree near the tent, and pre
sents rather a novel appearance.

Rlnglkig Bros.' Excursion.
Special excursion rates on all lines
of travel have been arranged -for by
the management of Ringling Brothers'
World's Greatest Shows, and those
who wish to go to Portland where this
great circus exhibits Monday and
Tuesday August 24 and 25, can do so
with very little expeuse. This will be
the only point in this vicinity where
the show will exhibit this season, and
no one should miss the opportunity to
witness it. Ringling Brothers' circus
has been the leading arenic exhibition
of America for years, but the show
has never been permitted to rest upon
its reputation. Although it long ago
passed the point of competition, every
season sees a greater and grander
show. This year's performance is en
tirely new, and entails the combined
efforts of 375 wonderful artists in the
equestrian, gymnastic, equihbristic,
acrobatic and aerial line, together
with forty famous clowns and hun
dreds of lesser lights. Six hundred
and fifty horses .are used and a
marvelous trained animal department
is presented. The eircus this season
is greatly enlarged by the spectacular
production of Jerusalem and the Cru
sades, a pantomimic presentation of
the well known and beautiful histori
cal narrative of the Crusaders. The
vast menagerie has among hundreds
of features the only living pair of
giraffes, the first baby elephant suc
cessfully bred and reared in America,
and the only rhinoceros in captivity.
There is a gorgeous revival of the
Roman hippodrome races, and many
other stupendous features in this great
circus. Circus day opens with a
brilliant street parade, three miles in
length. Don't fail to see it.
DeWitt Is the Name.
When you go to buy Witch Hazel
Salve look for the name DEWITT on
every box. The pure, unadulterated
Witch Hazel is used in making De
Witt's Witch Hazel Salve, which is
the best salve in the world for cuts,
burns, bruises, boils, eczema and
piles. The popularity of DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve, due to many cures,
has caused numerous worthless
counterfeits to be placed on the mar
ket. The genuine bears the name of
E. C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago. Sold by
Belt & Cherrington.
TWENTY CENTS IS OFFERED
Hop Buyers Are Active in Their
' Efforts to Secure Contracts.
A dispatch from Salem in yester
day's Oregouian says : "It is report
ed that 20 cents has been offered in
Salem within the la.it two uays for
contracts for hops of the crop of 1903.
While the information comes from a
reliable source, the names of the men
making the offer are not given.
Several days ago 17 J cents a pound
was offered by a leading firm for con
tract hops, and the raise to 20 cents is
said to be due to advices that the
German crop is turning out poorly.
"The abundance of lice on the hop
vines in Oregon yards may also have
helped to raise the price, for if the
lice should injure the crop, first-class
hops will be scarce in this state.
"There has been great activity
among buyers during the last few
days in their efforts to secure hop con
tracts, but glowers refuse to sell."
