FRIDAY, SEITEMBEI. 20, 1913, '.rw nts an tn ...... w .-..-. a w- w rw iKl HOP CROPS AM) I1K.H PRICKS Portland, Ore., Sept. 22. Hop growers in Oregon this year are en joying the unusual combination of big crop and high prices, the yield being one of the finest the state has ever had aud the market is advanc ing at the rate of one to two cents per day. The demand at the present time is largely from Europe, Eng lish buyers, especially, being eager to stock up while the price is within reason. So far, American buyers are making little effort to buy, although .it is known that many of them have contracted hops to the brewers at prices considerably below the pres ent market. Oregon's crop is prob ably the best of any hop growing section in the world, and as it is con ceded that the total world crop for this year will fall many millions of pounds below the average annual consumption, the only worry of the Oregon farmer is that he may be in duced to sell too soon. It is freely predicted that the price will go above 30 cents within the next few weeks. The coming annual State Fair at salem, September 29 to October 4, promises to be by far the best ever beld in the state. Hundreds of at tractive cash prizes are ofTered for the best products in all lines and competition for the various premiums will certainly lie extremely keen. Frank E. Lynn, president of the Ore gon Jersey Cattle Club has offered a silver tea Bet as prize for the best Jersey heifer under one year of age, and the club which he represents of fers a similar prize for the best bull calf. The animals must be bred and owned by members of the club. The young people are to have their In nings along with their elders, the management of the textile depart ment alone offering 54 cash prizes for work exhibited by girls tinder 14 years of age. "The biggest noise the world has ever heard," Is expected to he made all along the Pacific Coast from Brit ish Columbia to Panama at the time the last rock barrier in the Panama Canal Is blown out and the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are united. Arrangements are being made to have the news flashed In stantly to every city on the Pacific Coast when the final blast Is ex ploded and it Is the intention to have every wheel In each town stopped for a few minutes, while bells, whistles, and every other known noise-making device compete In the production of noise, As soon as the loose rocks and debris can be removed from the canal after the explosion, which Is expected to take place October 10, the canal will be open to the passage of vessels although the official open ing will not be announced for several months. THAW'S MOTHER THANKS THE ITIH.IC Johnstown, Pa., Sept. 22. En route to Concord, X. H., to attend tomorrow's hearing before Governor Samuel D. Felker, when an attempt will be made to extradite Harry K. Thaw, the fugitive from Matteawan asylum for the criminal insane, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw of Pittsburg, the prisoner's mother, dictated the follow ing message to the people of the United States and Great Britain: (By Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw.) "I wish through the United Press to thank the writers of nearly a thousand sympathetic letters which have poured in on me in a steady stream. They began immediacy af ter Harry made his daring dasn for freedom which any other man wtuld have made probably long be fore. The vast accumulation of let ters first express congratulation' and thanksgiving over Harry's escape; next consternation and indignation over his deportation, and all, so far as I nave read, are saturated through out with abhorrence of the v' idle tlve methods of representatives if Vew York state in their effort to consign a fellow man to a doom worse than death itself. "As It Is physically Impossible for me to attempt to read and acknowl edge such a mass of spontaneous communications from every part of the United States and England, I am forced to express my since appre ciation and sympathetic Interest through the United Press. At the same time, I beg to be relieved of the necessity of doing so hereafter, even in this roundabout way." ROOSEVELT WILL VISIT SOI TH AMERICA PARIS TO NEW YORK NEW STYLE CRAFT New York, Sept. 22.

R. 1 I'OI.K & CO.. SKATTLr. Paris, Sept. 22. From Paris to New York in a bottle such is the latest sensation. Under one of the archways of the Pont St. Michel, on the Seine, two men are working in the greatest mystery on the con struction of a cylindrical, bottle-like craft which is to take them across the Atlantic. The craft is of wood and tarred cardboard, with strong hoops of iron. It is about 30 feet long and 7-1-2 feet across. There is a manhole at each end. The master of this curious craft Is turned seventy, and wears a blue suit with no shirt underneath, and no shoes. His long curls have evident ly known no barbers shears for many a long year, for they reach to his shoulders and mingle with his patri archal beard of snow white. The old man is a Greek, Constantlne PaneJot ti by name. His father was a busi ness man, and left a comfortable lit tle fortune, which the son devotes to alleviating the sufferings of his less favored compatrolts. M. Panejottl's wants are few. He lives on crusts, dried vegetables and boiled water, with no salt or butter. He spends most of his spare moments In pray er. His only assistant in his work on the Seine is a young workman. "The new craft in the Blip," de- j clares Panejottl. "is only a model Later on I propose to build another measuring 325 feet and driven by three 1.1-h. p. motors which will de velop a speed of 100 miles an hour. "The secret of my invention lies In the action of the propellors, which will enable my bottle to revolve on Us own axis at a dizzy rate. The per sons inside will be on a floor fitted with rollers, which will remain com pletely stable. My pupil and I in tend to go from Paris to Havre, and thence to New York. "My boat." he added, "has no keel. If by a shock pr any other cause a leak Is sprung, a stroke of the propellors causes It to turn up side down, and a leak can be re paired without the least danger."

It was es timated that 500,000 persons today watched the funeral march behind the body of the late Mayor William J. Gaynor from the City hall to the church. The sidewalks were packed, indeed, to the point of serious dang er, and though the procession's route was short, hundreds of policemen were required to keep order. Former President Taft and Actlns Mayor Kline led the procession of honorary pall-bearers, which started at 10:39 o'clock. The departure from the city hall was most impres sive. The stairs and strlpeB and the mayor's flag and floral tokens from the widow and children covered the casket. Two hundred and fifty policemen stood at attention In the plaza as the cortege started for Old Trinity. Thousands of persons, silent and with bowed heads, stood outside. Only the low orders of police cap tains and the shuffling of feet broke the silence. Turning into Broadway, the cort e passed to the south through a sold mass of humanity. The roofs of buildings were jammed, and the windows of the skyscrapers were packed with humanity. Police, standing shoulder to shoulder, lined the curbs for the entire distance. One thousand other policemen marched with the procession. Police Commissioner " Waldo, marching behind former President Taft sobbed openly. He regarded Gaynor as one of his dearest friends. Pressing engagements have prevent ed Colonel Roosevelt from attending services. The Subway suspended operations for five minutes during the funeral. 444-r4444444444 WIRK BRIEFS. Portland. Sept. 22.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining ot the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out ot ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
