the day.
S. E. 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..
Mr. Kirkpatrick also bought by
wire yesterday 350 baleB at Oak-
and, Oregon, at 2D cents, lie
has out offers on 400 bales in Wash
ington county and 300 in Marion
at the same figure. During the
day Frank Durbin, of the firm
of Durbin fc Shucking made the
statement that he would sell hops
at 28 J cents, air. i.irapinu.

to deliver 23 bales at 2b j cents.
, Baling is pretty well done and
hops are being transferred to the
Southern Paciho warehouse at a
lively rate. 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.!
Each wagon averages oyer $1000
worth of baled bops which means
that $12,000 to $15,000 worth ot

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.

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

due to the nervous strain incident
to a trial in court and that he will
recover soon. His sentence was
six years imprisonment, Caldwell
was tried in Malheur county on a
change of venue and Hon. J. K
Weatherford defended him.
Poloma Mae Clodfelter, daughter
of Clarence and Amanda Clodfelter
of Independence was born Sunday
morning July 3, '04 at 3:45 and
died Sunday Sept. 25, at the same
hour of the day. The funeral ser
vice was held in the First Baptist
church by Pastor Allen Monday
afternoon and the body was laid to
rest in the I. O. O. F. cemetery by
the side of her fathers parents.
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. The many
beautiful flowers which literally
covered the graye but feebly rep
resent the sympathy of the many
friends.
