Gov., Chamberlain ha3 refused
to go as a delegate to the demo
cratic National convention, be
cause he is1 non-parti?an, and h is
iu?t bec'n elected U. S. Senator
by the republicans of Oreg'o i.
Those who thought that ''the
good old Rummer time' never ex
pected to visit us again had their
fears expelled this week. The
mercury went to 85 in the shade
Monday, with prospects of climb
ing higher within the next few
weeks. .
With the election over and the
assurance df a bumper crop, the
people of all Oregon should "get
busy" and advertise more than
ever bef )rv With its latest ad
dition, the Toledo Developement
League, the Oregon Pevclope
lnent League now has S3 mem
bers. . The great Hose Festival of Port
land Is now a matter of History.
It was easily the most eventful
week Portland ever enjoyed.
The convention1 of the Pacific
Coast Ad Men's League started
at the Commercial Club Monday
morning, closing the day with a
dinner that was simply perfect.

It is truo that many who believe
in a liberal appropriation for the
University thought $125,000 a
year too much, but it is a very
moderate revenue fe'r the State

The Uuyinz ani Selling of Hops
That the buying and selling of
heps to eastern and Londn mar
kets is all a matter of confidence
in the home dealer was clearly
demonstrated td he, writer a few
days ago, when H. L. Bents con
ducted ui through his sample
room3 over the Aurora State
Rank. Mr. Bents receives sam
ples from various growers. He
takes one of these samples,, sep
arates it into two parts, keeps
one part himself and sends one
part to the market in London.
Ho numbers the sample sent to
correspond with the sample re
tained. For instance he received
a sample of hopd from John
Smith. He separates the sample
into two parts, numbr3 both parts
20, and sends one part to London
and piuts the other in his simple
room. He knows just who is the
owner of sample No. 20, and if
the London buyer wants any of
tho hops numbered 0, he cables
the Aurora office and Mr. Bents
immediately notifies the grower
of the sale. It would be an easy
matter however, to send a good
sample to the London office and
thert deliver an inferior quality of
hop. As payment is usually
made at once, this could easily be
done! But the most valuable as
set of the hop dealer is absolute
reliability. And when the Lon
don and eastern buyers once
learn this it fc' easy for him to do
business. Aurora is to be con
gratulated in having no other
kind Of dealers but the best and
r.'os-t reliable , I iml:- Their
straight forward methods and
honest dealings viJ both sellers
and buycre gives Aurora the re
putation of, being the most active
hop market in the Willamette
Valley.

' A ROTHSCHILD STORY.
"Th Rtward That Cam ts a Student
With a Heart.
OU liotbucLllil to:l.3 cr popular
now in ruror. "Some aro truo," aaja
nn Kngllsh writer, "ixjiue lire only
ilcvcr, nnd many arc plmp'y larea
ll ja. I'.ut all are rta'l vrftU intereat"
Here is one from tbe Pj-itaudcr, Lon
diu: "At a lutubeon given by Eiupreua
Eugenie at tbe Tullri the Load of
tbe I 'a r l.i house of ItotharhlM waa
watej ofpostte a groat painter. Roth
schllj waa not blessed with (rood looks
nnd bad, moreover, an expresaloo of
dlatrcM end resignation combined. Tbe
painter could not take hla ryea off him,
and this worried Rothschild not a lit
tle. After the meal he asked the paint
er why bo bad taken so great an Inter
est In blm, nnd to his great amaze
ment the painter Informed him that bo
had studied blm aa a model for a teg
gar In a picture he wu then eroirbig.
Rothschild's face brightened, and bo
enld, 'I will alt for you.' And be did.
One day when he waa rnadng a pupil
of tho painter's waa bo touched by the
expression of woe on the face of the
model that he slipped a five franc piece
into the 'poor man's' baud aad van-lt-hed

SHOOTING WITH MORTARS.
Hitting the Targst ts Simply a Matter
ef Mathematics.
How do we hit with the mortars?
An observer near the short who sees
tbe target communicates the horizontal
and vertical angle at which to lay the
mortar and the Instant of time at
which to fire, and tbe gun does tbe
rest. If yon were standing at the cen
ter of a large clock dial laid flat on the
ground and wanted to hit w ith n base
ball a man walking around on the out
side, you would notice how long It took
the man to get from I to II and again
from II to III. Then you would de
cide whether if the ball were thrown
brer a point halfway between IUI and
V Just as be arrived opposite 1 1 1 1 the
man and the ball would reach the
same spot at the same time, It being
understood, of course, that ha main
tained uniform speed and direction and
that the ball was thrown with proper
force. Instruments give us the range
and obsertatlons, and mechanical de
vices give Us the range differences, in
creasing or decreasing by certain abort
Intervals of time, too short for a ship
of any sIm to eBcarm by attempting to
change direction or unocd.. Our ob
server's circle has 81,000 divisions.
