cHIHAMAN Us. INDIAN.
MoNGoLIAN HOP PICKERs ON A STRIKE
AGAINST THE PIUTEs.
Forty of Them Leave Their Work on q
Brighton Ranch, Anticipating
Indian Rivalry.

When hop grower wants harvest hands
he wants them bad," and sometimes he
gets about as bad a lot as the world can
produce. When hops are ready to be
picked. they must be picked without delay,
and the growers are obliged to take what
ever class of labor they can get. They
want pickers, and must have them, be they
Cinnamon, Piutes, white men or monkeys.
About midnight last night RECORD
UNION reporter met John J. Glacken, the
Brighton hop grower, and demanded an
explanation of the bucolic gentleman's
nocturnal wanderings so far from home,
but surmising that he was looking for hop
pickers
The latter explained that he had come
to town in the hope of meeting gang of
Piutes whom he had expected to arrive
from the wilds of Nevada. But the Indians
did not come, proving that 1t is not alone
white men and Cinnamon that are uncer-
tain.
Mr.. Glacken got mad when the reporter
suggested that he might get Cinnamon to
pick his hops.
"Chinamenw he echoed in high key.
why, the blankety, blank, blanked
scoundrels What do you think they did
had forty of them picking hops for me
this morning. AT noon the boss asked me
if would want more pickers tomorrow,
and told him guessed not. You see l
was expecting carload of Indians down
from Reno. About o'clock this afternoon
one of my white men came and told me
there wasn't Chinamsn in the hop-6eld.
l went to the camp, and the yellow-skinned
devils were sitting about on the ground
jabbering like monkeys. l asked one of
them why they were not at work, and be
replied: 'Oh, you heap too muchee like
Injin 7"
"That looks like strike" remarked the
reporter.
ives, they had struck; but l told them
that if I found mothers son of 'em on
the ranch one hour later I'd have his
hide"
"And now you have neither Cinnamon
nor Indians?"
No; but l will have sixty Piute bucks
in the hop fields to morrow. johnson Sides
and another chief engaged that number to
me some weeks ago, and as l wasn't ready
for them when they arrived, let friend
down near Sutterville have them. l went
there tonight and asked for wagon-load
of the native SONS, but they wouldn't divide
up, and in the morning I'll have the whole
squad. 1t will be rough on the other man,
but 1 can't help it. If somebody's hops
must spoil through lack of labor to harvest
them, don't want it to be mine"
Notwithstanding the difficulty expert
enced by hop-growers in getting people to
harvest their crops, there are scores of
white men walking about the city and beg
ging their living, saying they cannot get
work. The canneries, and orchards, and
hop-fields, and wheat fields have all been
short of laborers, but idle men have been
plenty all summer in the cities.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The A. M. Palmer Company opens the
Metropolitan Theater tonight for short
season. 1t is from the Madison Square
Theater, New York, and has just con-
cluded a five weeks engagement in San
Francisco. The play for tonight will be
Captain Swift" drama that was first
produced at the Theater Royal, London,
and achieved a phenomenal success. The
London Times the severest of critics, said
of it:
Its dialogue is terse, apt and polished; its
characters are the product of skillful hand
directed by an observant eye, and its plot has
the desirable quality of freshness. 1t
was received by full house with every mark
of favor.
1t was received in New York with equal
favor, and won during long season the
unanimous Endorsement of the New York
press.
Tomorrow afternoon the fine drama of
Jim, the Penman" will be given. 1t has
been played here once, and all who saw it
then will remember it as of great strength,
deep and sustained interest, full of action
and surprises, and affording every oppor-
tunity for dramatic work of the highest
order. 1t is the best work. probably, the
company produces. The effort to give
matinee performance is experimental. 1t
is believed that the high character of the
company, the fine staging the troupe gives
it's plays, and the power and remarkable
strength of the drama billed, will insure a
good matinee audience. The price rate for
the afternoon performance, 81 and so cents,
is special concession to the local manage
ment for its desire to revive matinee at
tendance here.
Wednesday night Augustus Thomas
"a Man of the World" delightful drama,
and Aunt Jack" comedy of the brightest
character, and brilliantly ludicrous, and
which the New York press pronounced the
most amusing comedy staged since Pinero's

the troupe are Mr.. Barrymore and Miss
Dyas, two of the most accomplished stage
artists of the day, and neither of whom
has before appeared here Miss Mamie
Craddock, California product, is special
support OF whom the press unanimously
speaks in terms of warm commentator.
Chas. w. Butler Mr.. Stoddart and Mr..
Holland are select actors of first standing.
Probably no troupe has visited Sacra-
mento the last decade that is better equip
ped with talented people, or that come so
near to the mark of perfection in present.
ing dramas, as that to appear tonight. 1t
is company of high salaries, because the
ability of the people commands them;
as the New York World puts it, 1.-THE CON-
pany is remarkable for its admirable equip
ment of individual talent, and its perfect
discipline; its work is round, sincere and
artistic" The most of the troupe has been
together for five years and it is noted at
the East and in San Francisco for its good
taste, the finish of its dramatic work and
for its enrolling five stars in the stock. The
| prices to be charged are the same that pre-.
vailed during the five weeks engagement

ARTEsIAN WATER.

1t is EnSG dntered in the Gas Wen at n
Depth of 375 Feet.
Yesterday the contractor engaged IN bor-
ing the natural gas well at Fifth and r
streets was encouraged by striking an arte-
sian vein of water ct depth of 375 feet.
The drill had been going through bed OF
sandstone clay for some time. when sud-
denly it tapped strata of quicksand, and
the water shot up to the surface and flowed
freely until the pipe became clogged with
tbe sand, when the flow ceased.
whether or not the water will continue
IN flow when the sand shall have been re-
moved. remains to be seen, but the general
belief is that ii will. There is now forty
feet of sand in the pipe to be pumped out.

original promoter of the natural gas enter
prise, said the fact of striking flowing water
must be regarded as an encouraging sign,
as all the natural gas wells on this coast
flow water, the gas being condensed there
from.
OF course. the present flow of water is
not expected to produce much gas, if any,
but it is good indication of what may be
found at greater depth. Should nothing
better than freely flowing body of pure
artesian water be struck, even that may
prove of great value.

An Imported Kansas Zephyr Does Injury
to Hop Fields.

An Imported Kansas Zephyr Does Injury
to Hop Fields.
A whirlwind on Sunday afternoon
knocked down thirty acres of Peter Roo
ney's hops near Brighton. 1t also injured
A. Menke's hop field and that Of Mr..
Cramp. The hops were just ripening, and
the loss. particularly to Mr.. Rooney, will
be very heavy.
1t was little Kansas zephyr, that took
everything before it. The noise could be
heard for over two miles away, and the air
for apparently thousand feet from the
earth was full of hops, hay, shingles and
American river debris.
1t is feared that the hops gathered from
the fallen vines will not turn out well, as
those of Mr.. Rooney were little more
backward than others in the neighborhood
and not quite ready for picking. The
quality may be all right, but there will be
loss to the grower in weight.
