This Is the seventh season Mra Wales has appear- , ed at the head of her own company, ' and it Is said that her entertainments fui nish Just the element of "some- ; thing new" so much desired by the committees of the different organiza tions playing the lyceum attractions. , Several years ago there was 'known in the vicinity of Omaha a boy sopra no. having a voice which was consld- ered phenomenal. People listened In wonder and delight to his singing, and ; anticipated with regret the time when the beautiful soprano should be changed 'into a mature voice which might not be so enjoyable.

Mrs. Claude Skinner returned from Willamette Valley Hop Men Not En couraged by Outlook. There will be no Increase In the hop acreage In this state this year, and for the best of reasons," said a local grower "dealer. "Years of experience have convinced the growers- generally that the crop now, one season with another. Is far less profitable than It was some years ago. 'Nothing is clearer than that land In the Willamette valley that will pro duce crops that are known to be very profitable Is too valuable to devote to the production of hops. 'Potatoes, on ions, grains of all sorts, fruit and live stock have for years brought far bet ter returns on money Invested Ih land in the valley than bops. "The chances are that the acreage Willi no greater than that of 10. and It may be smaller, but If the sea son proves a favorable one the 110 output should lie materially greater than that of last year. Last year we thought for a time that we had only about half a crop, but it proved to be something like 82.000 balea A full yield this year would probably mean an output around 120,000 to 120.000 bales. "I do not believe the recent freeze did any appreciable damage to the roots. The hop root is a thing of great vitality, and it takes a pretty severe freese to kill It With the return of warm weather In the spring it a ill probably be found that the roots came through In good shape." The market for the time is rather quiet. In the main due to the bullish attitude of the growers who still have goods unsold, but the tone is still strong. P.usiness transacted earlier in the season ass for the most part be-ta-en growers and dealers. Now, It is said the bulk of the trade is between dealers, local operators and buyers for the eastern and foreign markets, and !
