manufacture of denatured alcohol, the

that the manufacture of the alcohol will

are to be derived from the business.

That her catle-like home at Forest
Grove should be used for a library and
and museum after her death is the ex
press desire of Mr. G. O. Rogers, an eld
erly widow, who has been prominent in
educutional work in Oregon (or many
year. Forest Grove has had a private
library and free reading room for the
past three years, maintained entirely by
individual subscriptions, and Mrs. Hog
era hat spent much of her time In look
ing after its welfare. She decided some
months ago to bequeath her house and
park to the city to bo used for a public
library and museum after her death, if
tiie city should maintain any interest in
such a proposition by helping along the
present struggling private institution.
The city council at its regular session
last week voted a tax of 1 mill, or about
$100, toward the support of the private
library, and Forest Grove will no doubt
fall heir to Mr. Rogers' valuable estate
as the result. The house is of antioue
English style of archil eeture and was
built by Rider, the noted violin maker.
The park comprises an entire block and
is covered with oak trees. The place is
worth about $12,000.

According to a reimrt Issued by the

that not only in insanity on the increase

that there are, as a rule, more insane

Hop Market is Improving;.
A steady Improvement is shown in th
tone of the hop market. Purchases dur
ing the past few days have shown an in
crease over the large and liberal transac
tions of the previous week, and the buy
ing at this time breaks all previous re
cords for the holiday season. On all
idea the better tone is displayed and
prices at this time are considerably firm
erinaii ai any time since the hops were
in tlie bale. Dealers are making every
effort to land all the cheap hops they
possibly can before the growers liegin to
realize that the outward movement has
practically taken all the hops in the state.
It is noted with satisiaction by grower
that the people who were so bullish on
heps the first part of the season and were
talking 25c are now saying nothing but
sawing wood. At that time they bulled
