Hops are an enigma, and a hard ono too.
This is peculiarly true this year. The raisers
OF this county have been in great quAndary
10 decide whether they viii even pick or not.
Mr. Samuel Templstoa. Of brownsville stated
in this city Tuesday that ho aud his brother
would not touch their field, and he knew OF
only one person around Brownsville who
would pick, and that was Sir William Smith,
who proposed to do so whstever the conse.
quenoes. Notwithstanding many will not
pick, Cinnamon have offered to do it for 25
cents, aud Is cents pound have been offer

very uncertain, and Linn county raisers have

a remarkable Case.

A very curious and remarkably lonely
case occurred In this city recently. A
tramp, or apparently one, about three
weeks ago told q gentleman in First
street store, that he was hungry, had not
had anything to eat for tho conventional
length or time. and asked IL he would get
him his supper. This the gentleman did,
paying two bits for the same. Last week
the gentleman was approached by the
same man, who handed him four bit
piece, said that was what he owed him,
and then rushed off before the gentleman
had time TO make change, The man'H
tanned face told how he had heen doing
something with his muscles IN the harvest
field. Probablya like case will never
again be reported In the annals Of Linn
county,

in five to ten minutes aud will beat eggs
with despatch, besides various other
things. In It's issue OF August 3rd, the
"oregonian" gave an account OF how two
women purchased such machines, per
haps from these same men as they have
told about selling large number there.
They tried to make Ice cream. Instead Of
eight minutes Il took thom two hours, and
then tho cream was frozen 70 the dasher
and they had to met II in order 10 get Al
It. Then they tried beating eggs. The
eggsBl stuck to the dasher and they had u
job getting them OF. An examination re-
yealed the fact tina. tho measures were
no. correct, Then one OF the women
threw hers over the back fence. and the
other put up preserves In her freezer.
This Is the ''oregonian's" account of =
machine that Is described just like the one
being sold here. Perhaps that paper
stretched matters; Il sometimes does.
