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."

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."

New York, Sept. 22. 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.

ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution

an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining ot the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear

Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con

forever; nine cases out ot ten are
