HOP CONTRACTS FEW BUYERS AWAITING HARVEST BEFORE NAMING PRICES. Picking in Fnggle Yards Now in Pro gress War Effects Market Con ditions Somewhat. Hop growers are awaiting develop ments in the market with expectancy and interest. While the crop, the har vest ot wlncli is now ii) progress in Fuggle yards, is occupying attention, the market, is of course, uppermost in the minds of growers. Owing to unusual conditions prevailing this year, none are able to satisfactorily solve the price problem. Much of the prosperity of Polk county depends upon this industry, there being some thing over 5,000 acres within the bai liwick planted to this crop, and there- tore every resident is interested with the giower. Practically no contracts are being made in Oregon at this time, buyers evidently waiting to ee what the crop will be, and conse quently there is little of a substantial character on which to base price pre dictions. In California some October contracts have been made at 12 and 13 cents. What the Oregon crop will be is a matter of wide difference of opinion, hop men placing it variously at from 100,000 to 130,000 bales. It is known that a number of yards have been abandoned, owing to the mold and vermin, and it is probable that the yield will not be so great as last year. The hot weather of the past week has meant great things for the hop crop and if it continues until after the picking season the yield doubt less will be better than had been an ticipated. The cards are, to a great extent, in the hands of the weather man and it remauis to see what he will deal. The hops probably will be of a wide range of quality. The California crop is still estimated at about 120,000 bales, which is an in crease of about 3000 over last year. In New York, however, indications are that the yield will be short, owing to the tact that yards have been aban doned because or mold and vermin and the weather. The American crop will probably amount to 300,000 bales, which is practically the same as the yield last year. However, there is said to be only about 5000 bales holdover from last season, compared with a 30,000 holdover last year. In addition, the English crop is said to be light this year. This is indicated by cables from England which were received in Portland yesterday. They estimated the "English crop at 250,000 cwt., which is more than 50 per cent less than the yield for last year. All things taken into consideration, hop- men are of the opinion that the price ot hops should be good this year, if it were not for the unusual conditions growing out of the European war and the unsettled state of business, great ly a result of that conflict. DRAMATIC CLUB TO GIVE PLAT. Thespians Will Produce "The County Chairman," Before Christmas. Just before the Christmas holidays, if present plans mature, the Dallas Dramatic club will open the new Or pheum theater with a production of "The County Chairman," George Ade's famous political and romantic diama. The club has been examining many manuscripts and has selected the George Ade drama as the best for this event. Macklin Arbuckle has made himself world-famous through his interpretation of the title role, and his supporting cast has been ex cellent. Such things do not daunt the Dallas club and it is proceeding with plans in absolute confidence that t will present a creditable produc tion. Past performances of the or ganization would indicate that its confidence is not misplaced, as many difficult roles have been filled and a number of very good shows have been staged by the organization. Sometime within the coming month the club will begin earnest preparation for the pro duction. Roles have not been assign ed as yet but some of the club mem beis have designated J. E. Sibley as the best man in Dallas to wear the shoes of Macklin Arbuckle as the county chairman. Fred West's inter pretation of negro characters will probably entitle him to be cast in the second important part as a colored roustabout. Mr. Smith, owner of the Orpheum, has offered his new show house to the club tree of charge lor the evening. Edison Installing Invention. The installation of the new nickel batteries invented by Thomas A. Edi son by which it is hoped to prevent the escape of chlorine gas in submar ines is in progress on board the sub marine K-l at the ew lork navy yard. Chlorine gas is one of the greatest dangers of undersea boats and many officers with them believe it caused the loss of the f-4 at Mun ol ula several months ago. If the bat teries are as effective as it is hoped, the navy will possess the finest un derwater craft in which the danger of chlorine is eliminated. The Land Products Show. The Second Manufacturers and Land Products show will be held in Portland from October 25 to Novem ber 13. Polk county will be repre sented. The armory will be used to display the manufactures. Other huildimrs will contain educational and entertainment features. An exposi- j tion annex 260x75 feet will beerected for the Land Products exhibit, and there is where old Polk will shine. While these exhibits will show the opportunities for homeseekers they should, and wilt, be the means of creating markets for many special products. Puts Dallas on the Map. The Angora Journal, published at Paluxy, Texas, has the following about one of Polk's goat raisers: "U. S. Grant was the first presi dent of the association and held that office continuously up to the meeting at Albuquerque in 1914, when he was succeeded by AB. Collins. Mr. Grant is located at Dallas, Oregon, and it is said that he was the means of placing Dallas on the map. lie was one of the first to achieve distinction as a breeder of high-class Angora goats. "Grant Goats" are known wherever Angoras are known. He has produced some of the most noted bucks ever produced in this country. Grant is considered steady, conser vative and possessed of considerable sound judgment, tact and diplo macy." Fair Funds Are Low. The county fair board is going to be handicapped this fall because of a shortness of funds. It has less than $400 in cash on hand at the present time, and $200 of this amount is due to the collector of state fair exhib its. Of the $1500 received from the county $550 was paid over to the Dal las Commercial club for money bor rowed last year, and money from the state must, go tor premiums only. The expense of pulling off the fair this fall will leave the association quite deeply in debt unless it realizes well from attractions and concession privileges. Fine Program for Band Concert. The regular Saturday evening band concert will be given, on the court house lawn tomorrow night. Director George Marsh has selected a varied and pleasing program in which popu-' lar music predominates: March, Cap tain Hetty; overture, All Hits: Mor- cian, Forest Whispers; selection, The hpnng Alaid; popular, 1 Didn t Raise My Boy to be a Soldier: waltz. Lu zare; popular, Tipperary; serenade, llioughls; march, shuffling Dance. Hop Tickets Don't Count. If you want hop insurance, you can make money by getting your tickets printed yourself and then getting in surance in the Old Reliable Oregon Fire Relief association. Tickets are all-fired cheap, these days; if you don't believe it, consult the printers. Ask Al. Snvder about it. Adv. Want to Exhibit Here. The Oregon Social Hygiene society has written the secretary of the fair board with a view to making an ex hibit in Dallas during fair week. The society is desirous of securing a down-town store building in which to make a display. Judge Teal Appointed. Judge J. B. Teal has been appoint ed one of the Oregon delegates to the tenth international dry farming con gress and exposition, to he held in Denver, Colorado, September 27 to October fl. The appointment was made by Governor Withycombe. Mrs. Edith Holcomb of Salem is a guest at the home of Mr. and Mis. W. J. Kearth on Academy street. Morris Fowle, a prominent rancher of the Airlie neighborhood, was a Dallas visitor Tuesday. Observer Want Ads. do the business COMPLETELY COVERS THE FIELD The attention of the reader is today called to the large amount of local news contain ed in this issue of The Ob server, covering every phase of the week's doings through out the county. It is probab ly the most complete regular edition of any newspaper ever published wilhin the county, which is saying considerable. It contains more than twenty columns of local hapiienings, or more than is published by all the other newspapers of Polk county combined. And yet The Observer is a twiee-e-week publication. The Tues day issue of The Observer had over twenty columns of read ing matter, the greater part of which covered local affairs exclusively. We are not "bragging" about the gieat ness of this publication, bnt merely want to call the atten tion of the reader to the indis putable fact that the real news of the week is to be found only in its columns. And we hope, in the near fu ture, to make The Observer even bigger and better than at present. Its circulation is rap idly increasing without solici tation, which is an indication that it is appreciated. During the past year its subscription list has shown an almost phe nnminal growth, not only in Polk county but in adjoining territory as well. This should he a pointer for advertisers. The Observer is read, because it gives the news. "You know it." BULLETIN .......... - ONE CENT A WORD, "PHONE 19.
