Irvine let go of his crop of 150 bales to Dorcas at 28 J cents and Dorcas also cLwed a deal for 250 bales from Wells and Smith Toward evening Mr. Kirtpatrick tunde D. B. Taylor and J. D. Whit eaker an offer of 30 cents. The offer - became known on tbe streets, and the jump of 1J cents in the bop market created a little flurry. The offer naturally bad a retiring effect on other buyers for they bad no orders from their different houses warranting that figure. The offer was taken under ad visement br Mr. Taylor and also by J. D. Whiteaker, and after de- liberation Taylor signed up a con tract for 300 bales. To make assurance doubly sure, Mr. Kirkpatrick' wrote him out a check for $1,000, Thus was the hop market opened up at 30 cents for Oregon the pace being set at Independence, the hoo center of the state. . Mr. Whiteafcer never signed up, electing to hold his hops..

A line of teams stand in front of the warehouse all day, awaiting turns at unloading. It U not an uncommon sight to see ten and twelve teams awmting their turn at the depot warehouse.!

Wise is a bald head who can fool a lly. ' No one was ever banded a frte pans minus a string Advertising has its uses; it gives our neighbors a chance to talk. A woman would rather people thought she was tailor mad j than pelf-made. Everr Benedict has a mind of his own, but tbe title is apt to be clouded. It's easier for a woman to marry a geniu than it is for her to sup port him Every woman imagines she was created for tbe purpose of bossing some man. The single thought of two souls always has something lo do with love in a cottage. Some bachelors spend their evenings at home. and some married men spend theirs in jail. Many a goood man has got freckles on his reputation by carry- ng molasses home in a demijohn. If an insurance policy on a man's life is a good risk for the in surance company, it is a poor one for his wife. Liberty is always represented ta a female, but it is difficult for some married men to understand why. HEIGHT AND BRAINS. Man Why Be TaU or Short With out Endangering His Mental Faculties. It makes the average person al most as mad to have people tell lies A-fcit4HufrComearMOreo'on', about Dim as it does wnea mey Site With Other Exposi tions There. Tne Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds present certain features which f robaply no other site had. With possibly the exception of the Vienna exposition, which was held in the "Prater," a beautiful park in the City of Vienna, no other exposition site, in my opinion, had the natural advantage that this exposition has. A fine wooded bit of lawn, a broad expanse of clear navigable water, a fine tract of level ground on a plateau viewing four snow-capped mountains and a mighty river, it is indeed, a land scape which must appeal not only to qur people, who are accustomed to naval landscapes of beauty, but particularly to the Eastern and to the inhabitant of the middle states, who probably never saw a piece of ground where Nature's beauty is concentrated in a tract of land oi approximately 400 acres. The Exposition site covers ap proximately ISOacres of land and about 230 of water. On the main grounds are located the following buildines:' Aericultural, Liberal Arts, Foreign Exhibits, Forestry, Machinery Halls and Elgctric Building, Mining Exhibit, Admin istration. Auditorium and Police Departments. In addition to these, buildings on the main land, there are contemplated build ing" for the State of California, Japanese Building, Slate of Wash ington Building, , State of Idaho Building and others, while in the Agricultural Experimental Station grounds is located a rustic bungalow. On the extreme west end of the Exposition Grounds will be located stalls and review stands for the stock and dairy exhibits. Soap for the Skin. Mrs. J. W.

James Caldwell, the Harney county man who was last week convicted o manslaughter, and was brought to the penitentiary Mon day, was Tuesday transferred to the asylum. The prison phy sician thinks his derangement was due to the nervous strain incident to a trial in court and that he will recover soon.

Poloma was a good child; strong and healthy up to within a few days of her death. She received the beet that large loving hearts could give and in departing left a great aching void.
